Once again, The Argus (March 9) has shown itself to be a brave and fearless campaigner for human rights in its championing of the cause of the African volunteers drowned when the SS Mendi was rammed by a British liner in the Channel in 1917.
Tribute must also be paid to Andy Mu and the leaders of the City Gate church, a vibrant multiracial Christian group in the centre of Brighton.
It is typical of both The Argus and City Gate that they have shown such concern about the injustice meted out to people from rural South Africa who came to the aid of this country in the hour of our need nearly 90 years ago.
I hope you are successful in getting the erection of a suitable memorial on the Downs and compensation, even if it is token, for the descendants of the victims from the British Government.
-Reverend John Webster, Gleton Avenue, Hove
