NZUSA Vice President Resigns

NZUSA National Office is once again without a full complement of officers. Two weeks before May Council, General Vice President, Colin McFadzean announced his resignation that will take effect from June 20.

The reason for his resignation seems to be dissillusionment with NZUSA and its members. Colin stated during council that he was "amazed" at the lack of interest and work done in the area of domestic racism.

He also feels that National Officers are loaded up with far too much work and are seen as "the repository of all the knowledge handed down since Solomon played full back for the Gentle Giants".

He added in his report that a coherent long term analysis of where NZUSA is going is a problem that constituents must come to grips with.

There is no doubt that Colin has done a lot of valuable work during the 21 months he has been GVP, particularly in the field of anti-apartheid'. His resignation will leave a large gap in the work of NZUSA and there seems to be no one either able or willing to take his place.
