Just to shatter your illusions even further, I also read the Weekly
Mail with its Guardian Weekly supplement.  They're also pretty good,
and perhaps should have been mentioned as yet another source of hard to
get news about Africa.  This weeks "Mail" has a full page story
entitled "On the campaign trail in Angola" by Andrew Meldrum.  The
price of the Weekly Mail is R2-80 = US$1-00 (including the Guardian
Weekly) making it the only reading bargain over here.  Time and
Newsweek go for R4-50, but aren't much good for anything other than
looking at pretty coloured pictures.

Of course, listening to the BBC and reading the Weekly Mail aren't
guaranteed to make one politically correct ;-)  And, besides, some of us
just like to stir.

VoA are still a section of the State Department busily fighting the
cold war, and last time I paid them any attention, appeared to
concentrate on West Africa, even though they have a medium wave relay
station in Botswana, which usually sounds as if the relaying technology
is based on mail pigeons.  BBC Africa Service is also re-transmitted
via relay stations in this part of the globe - mainly Lesotho, and on
Ascension Island, and they have excellent local signal quality.

Apparently the CIA is the (majority) owner of an air charter service
based in Miami used by aid agencies operating in Somalia...this is
the same air charter service that was used to ship arms to the
contras...

Title: ANGOLA: ELECTIONS APPROACH AMIDST VIOLENT CLASHES


luanda, sep 23 (ips) -- one week before angolans go to the
polls, violent outbreaks have been reported throughout the
war-ravaged south-west african country.

''after a surprisingly calm period before the official
election campaign began at the end of august, it is discouraging
to see major violence now'', a western diplomat observing the
peace process told ips here wednesday.

the process was initiated may 1991 with the signing of a
peace accord between angolan president jose eduardo dos santos
and leader of the national union for the total independence of
angola (unita), jonas savimbi, that ended the country's 16-year
civil war.

the accord called for democratic elections and an end to
hostilities between the ruling popular movenment for the
liberation of angola (mpla) and unita.

but as the poll dates (sep. 29-30) draws nearer, concern
is widespread that effectively there has been no cease-fire
between the two major contenders (mpla and unita) in the
forthcoming election.

with the election campaigns in full force, both sides have
been taking advantage of the weekends to gather their forces for
intensified marches and speeches.

but the campaigns, combined with weekend drinking, have led
inevitablly to violent clashes when a unita procession comes
into contact with government supporters.

in the town of viana, about 20 km east of the capital,
luanda, at least five people died and two unita soldiers were
injured in weekend clashes between unita and the police.

a member of the emergency police was shot in the same town
friday by unita members during a parade of vehicles.

the prevailing tension has been further intensified by
unita's claim that the mpla was plotting to assassinate savimbi
in the central provincial capital of cuito saturday.

but dos santos told a crowd in huambo, in central province,
that fearing a trouncing from the mpla in the election, unita
was looking for excuses to breach the cease-fire and go back to
war.

''we overestimated how fast the two sides could bury their
past animosities'', says the diplomat in luanda.

despite the violent setbacks, accusations and counter
accusations, international observers say the election will go on
as scheduled. any party not abiding by the results is likely to
face international condemnation. (end/ips/vf/tvh/92)

Title: STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT: NO LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL /SERIES/


attn editors: the following feature is the first of a series of
four on the issue of economic adjustment focussing on nigeria,
ghana and zambia. the remaining three will follow shortly.

harare, sep 25 (ips/obinna anyadike) -- the hope in africa at
independence has given way to despair. governments have failed
to deliver on the promise of a better life for their citizens.

there are a host of internal and external factors to explain
what has gone wrong.

but after three decades of self-rule, 19 african countries
are currently adopting international monetary fund (imf) and
world bank-driven structural adjustment programmes (sap) as the
final resort to rescue their malfunctioning economies.

it is a remedy in purely performance terms that, with a few
possible exceptions, has not worked. in human terms it has been
a disaster. yet african countries, with donor backing
conditional on imf and world bank approval, have been forced to
continue to take the ''medicine''.

structural adjustment packages vary from country to country.
but they all have four basic elements: currency devaluation, a
reduced role for the state in the economy, the elimination of
subsidies to cut spending, and trade liberalisation.

explicit in these programmes is that countries, however
broke, must repay their debts. the net outflow in repayments by
african countries, set against falling world commodity prices on
which their economies are based, is greater than aid inflows.

currency devaluation is regarded as a prerequisite of all
saps on the grounds that local purchasing power has been
over-valued. it is a measure to make imports more expensive,
encouraging local production, and exports more competetive.

the reality is that african economies are import and cash
crop dependant. the consequence is, due to knock-on effects,
that there is a leap in the price of even basic household
necessities. the cost of farm and manufacturing inputs, school
books and medicines, rockets.

at independence, several african governments either due to
the weakness of the private sector as a legacy of colonialism or
on ideological grounds, stepped in to play a commanding role in
the economy. over the years, inefficient parastatals have become
a drain on resources and a tool of political patronage.

Whilst I am no Inkatha fan, it is quite clear that both the foreign media and
the local "liberal" press are waging a campaign against this organisation. Most
articles tend to place the overwhelming burden of blame for the violence in
Natal and the Witwatersrand on the IFP, whilst ANC violence is either ignored
all together or attributed to undisciplined elements within the organisation
("vigilantes"). As in the Times article you quoted above, the general media
sentiment seems to be that the ANC is more or less innocent, whereas Inkatha is
almost entirely to blame. This is really misleading - when it comes to
activities in rural Natal and in townships in the Witwatersrand, both
organisations have committed their fair share of atrocities, and both
organisations are home to a number of brutal and ruthless people. Choosing
sides in the conflict is very distructive.

An honest look at the violence in Natal reveals that Inkatha has lost a very
large number of people, and that attacks on its members are just as frequent
and bloodthirsty as those on ANC members. But the media won't recognize this
because it has already chosen its good guys and its bad guys. As an example of
what I'm talking about, there is the case of a whole number of Inkatha youth
leaders who were gunned down on their way to a meeting recently. this was a
pre-meditated, politically motivated attack which would have prompted much
outrage had the victims been ANC activists.

To end, there is a little story I heard recently. The leader of the ANC in the
Natal Midlands is one Harry Gwala (an unreformed Stalinist) who it was
discovered recently had compiled a hit-list of people to be assassinated. One
of his intended victims (no. 2 on the list in fact) is a farmer (who now
requires 24 hours police protection) who farms on the border of Quazulu. Now
apparently, this particular area is controlled by ANC supporters, and they have
been attacking IFP supporting Quazulu residents who cross the border in order
to draw salaries in South Africa. So this farmer allows these people to cross
into South Africa over his farm, for which Gwala has decided he should be
murdered. 

As you should be able to deduce from this story, the ANC isn't innocent - its
just as involved in adding to the momentum of violence in South Africa as
Inkatha is, so treat newspaper reports with a fair pinch of salt. The media 
has done a lot of damage through biassed reporting.
