GHANA

COUNTRY SAID UNABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON CHEAP OIL
AB310851 Accra Domestic Service in English 0700 GMT 31 Aug 86

[Text] Ghana cannot take advantage of the current low world market prices
to buy and store crude oil because of the pressure on the country's

foreign exchange resources. This was stated by Mr Appiah-Korang, secretary
for fuel and power, in an interview with the GNA [Ghana News Agency] in
Tamale. Oil prices, which rose to over $36 a barrel during the oil crisis,
dropped to between $5 and $9 in June this year at the world's (?spot) market
and now hovers around $12 to $15. Mr Appiah-Korang, who is on a tour of
the northern region, said the government appreciates the logic of buying
crude oil at the present low prices but the money is not there to buy and
store. He said there is no problem with storagé since the country has
facilities to store up to a year's fuel requirements. He said storage
facilities are being constructed at Buipe in the northern region to
alleviate difficulties in fuel supply to the northern, upper east and
upper west regions.

Earlier, Mr Appiah-Korang told a meeting of district secretaries in the
region that as part of his ministry's policy of rationalizing the distribution
of fuel, it has selected about 60 reseller outlets for petroleum products

to ensure that rural dwellers get their fuel supply without difficulty.

The managing director of GOIL [Ghana Oil Industries Limited], Mr Gabriel
Adoglah, said the government has given his company import license to bring
in 30 fuel tankers. He said GOIL has manufactured 100 surface tanks and
has placed an order for hand pumps for distribution to the new seller

outlet operators.

ANGOLA

POOR SANITATION CITED AS MAIN CAUSE OF DISEASE

Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 13 Jul 86 p 3

[Text] About 120 children are now in the Josina Machel Hospital with malaria.
The Lucrecia Paim Maternity Clinic also sees about a hundred pregnant patients
a day who are seriously ill with malaria. On 8 July, six persons came to the
clinic with cerebral malaria. The source of all this information is Dr. Julio
Leite da Costa, head of the Epidemiology Department at the National Public
Health Administration, who, together with Jose Vicente, senior sanitation
technician from the Sanitation Sector assigned to the Public Health Adminis-
tration, discussed the enormous sanitation problem in Luanda. As a matter of
fact, the poor state of the garbage-collection system in Luanda not only
frightens even the most ignorant on the subject, but also now poses a public
health threat, demanding great patriotic resolve and decisiveness to safeguard
human life, which is the most precious thing we have.

According to Dr. Leite, the sanitation problem in Luanda has become a serious
problem for the following reasons:

"Every year campaigns have been carried out to educate the public on the need
to pick up garbage, since the health situation caused by orally transmitted
diseases attributable to water-borne vectors is experiencing a constantly in-
creasing incidence of malaria, diarrhea, hepatitis and typhoid fever," said Dr
Leite.

And in this regard, he added, Luanda's problems are worsening and frighteningly
so in the rainy season. Dr. Leite said that in 1984, when there was far more
rainfall than normal, malaria was a very serious public health problem.

Under these conditions, the mosquito population increases greatly, and not
just Anopheles mosquitoes (which transmit malaria) but also the Aedes aegypti;
(which transmit a more serious form of the disease). Therefore, garbage must
be promptly picked up and pools of stagnant water must be drained. The Aedex
aegyptis, according to Dr Leite, is present in residential areas throughout
the city of Luanda, especially in water kept in barrels and other containers.

Accordingly, Dr Leite announced that the Ministry of Health, in close coopera-
tion with the Provincial Commissariat, has planned various emergency measures
for July and August to combat mosquito larvae by identifying breeding areas,
educating the public on the protection and proper use of water and the need to
get rid of waste water.

LIBERIA

OPPOSITION PARTIES REACT TO ELECTIONS COMMISSION
AB292110 Monrovia Radio ELWA in English 1710 GMT 29 Aug 86

[Text] Three opposition parties in the country have been responding to a
citation from the Elections Commission accusing them of allegedly violating
the elections laws and the Constitution of Liberia. The parties were cited
recently by the commission to appear before it to show cause why their
certificates of registration should not be revoked after allegedly violating
the election laws and the Constitution.

The commission alleged that despite its warning, the Liberia Action Party
[LAP], the Liberia Unification Party [LUP], and the Unity Party joined

and elected Mr William Gabriel Kpoleh of LUP as chairman of an illegal
political group calling itself the Grand Coalition. It said the aim of

the group from the evidence at hand is to disturb the peace and tranquility
of the Republic of Liberia as a political maneuver to coerce its political
objective. The commission said the three parties have common objective

of obtaining a reflection in violation of the Constitution of the Second
Republic had come into being and the Constitution came into force. [sentence
as heard] The Elections Commission further accused the opposition parties
of staging an illegal demonstration on Monday, 18 August, in defiance of
its warning, where from injuries and loss of properties ensued for which,
it said, the parties must be liable.

During the hearing into allegations at the commission's headquarters on
Ashmond Street yesterday, [LAP] said it has not been seasonably informed
by the commission as a matter of notice as to what election laws and what
article in the Constitution the party has violated. LAP explained that
under the Liberian system of government, a party to a suit is entitled
to due and timely notice as to the specific laws he or she has violated
and the charge for which violation.

Regarding the demonstration, LAP said all well-intended people know that

no demonstration was held by any opposition party in Monrovia on 1 August:
There was simply a worship service held at the First United Methodist
Church on Ashmond Street in Monrovia by concerned women for three opposition
leaders who, it said, are illegally detained at Camp Belle Yeallah. It

said after the service, riot squads of police brutally attacked unarmed and
peaceful citizens, mostly women, who were walking out of church, shooting

the economic and financial situation in which the Angolan nation finds itself
as a result of the drop in oil on the world market.

The speaker said that the people of Namibe “are aware that the period through
which we are passing is in fact extremely difficult, and it demands of each
eitizen, each man and woman, soldier and worker, in a word of all of us, a
responsible attitude of dedication to work and implementation of the
guidelines established by the MPLA-Labor Party and the Angolan state.”

In discussing the political-military situation, this leader said at a given
point in his address that our country has had to deal with a war of aggression
motivated by the desire to destroy our stability. “This war,” he said, “has
now dragged on since the fall of the Portuguese colonial regime, and it is
being sponsored by the international imperialists through the racist South
Africans. They are pursuing clearly defined goals, including the destruction
of economic and social targets in Angola, including factories, ports,
hydroelectric power plants, roads, hospitals, schools and farms, in order to
paralyze all of the productive and social activity of the country, to wreck
the already very weak economy, and to increase the difficulties of the people.

“The purpose of these plans,” he added, "is to annihilate the democratic and
popular revolution and to establish a regime of servitude in Angola which will
permit its masters to plunder our wealth--oil, coffee, cotton, diamonds,
cattle, etc.--without hindrance and with impunity. The imperialists want to
install an oppressive government in Angola which will humiliate and mistreat
the people, as happens in South Africa itself.”

Reiterating the indignation and revulsion evidenced by the people concerning
the revocation of the Clark Amendment, Lieutenant Colonel Nvunda said: "We
are independent and we will be socialists, and in Angola it is the Angolan
people who command, under the clear-sighted leadership of the MPLA-Labor
Party." He quoted a statement made by President Jose Eduardo dos Santos at
the 10th People's Assembly Session about the revocation of the Clark
Amendment. “Our people showed that they are aware that imperialism, with its
use of force, threatens their independence and the existence of their popular
democratic state. However, I have faith in their strength and combativity,
and therefore neocolonialism will not succeed and Angola will continue to
develop along the path of progress and socialism.”

Speaking about the recent attacks on the commercial port and the SONANGOL fuel
warehouses, this member of the Political Bureau of the party said that these
are crimes condemned by the peace-loving international community, and that
they merely reveal the desperation of the government leaders in Pretoria who,
incapable of resolving the internal problems in their country by abolishing
apartheid, are turning their murderous fury on the neighboring countries.

After urging the people to redouble their vigilance in view of the
preparations being made for a possible attack all along our southern boundary
with Namibia, and the massive concentration of racist troops, he emphasized
that the implementation of austerity measures in all the sectors of the
country's economic activity has become a compelling need.

PRESIDENT CALLS FOR WAR ON CORRUPTION, EMBEZZLEMENT

Dar es Salaam TANZANIA SUNDAY NEWS in English 10 Aug 86 p 1

[Article by Attilio Tagalile]

[Text]

PRESIDENT Mwinyi yesterda
urged Tanzanians in their total-
ity to participate fully in the war
against vices afflicting economic
growth, uphold accountability
and restore distipline whereyer
they are. . :
The. President was addressing
a mammoth rally of Dar es
Salaam residents at the State

House grounds after they had’

marched in a procession from
Vijana Headquarters in support
of his call for accountability at
places of work and fight against
indiscipline, embezzlement of
public funds, corruption. and
other vices. °

He told the rally in an address
broadcast live by Radio Tan-
zania that the war against indis-
cipline and lack of accountability
at places of work, corruption,
racketeering, smuggling, lazi-
ness and oppression had more
meaning now than ever before
because the country was facing
economic problems due to,
among others, these vices.

The President said although
there were strong indications
that the country would soon
receive 800million dollars credit
(32.800m/-) from the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund ({MF)
and some of the country's‘debts,
likely to be cancelled by debtors.
while payment of others being
rescheduled, it would be stupid if
the homefront was not cleaned.

71

More stupid, ‘the President
said, would be to let the forth-
coming funds fall into the hands
of, and benefit a few individuals,

, adding that each and every Tan-

zanian must be vigilant against
such obnoxious developments.

He said there was strong need
to ensure that discipline was
adhered to by each and every
Tanzanian in the farms,indus-
tries and offices. Whatever work
they were involved in, he said,
should be carried out in accor-
dance with its rules and regula-
tions. .

Those involved in agriculture
and livestock development, the
President said should see to it
that they applied modern
agricultural and _ livestock
development methods.

He said that was the only way
to boost agricultural and lives-
tock production and thereby
help in extricating the nation
from its present economic prob-
lems.

The President spoke bitterly
on growing disregard for laid
down - rules and regulations
bequethed on Tanzanians by the
colonialists, . noting that the
attitude had to a great extent
contributed to the country’s pre-
sent economic position.

He said whereas rules and reg-
ulations at places of work were
very clear on what should be
done to those found to have been

PARTY OFFICIAL SPEAKS ON ECONOMIC ISSUES IN BENGUELA
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in' ‘Portuguese 22 Jul 86 pp 1, 12

[Article by L. Rogerio]

[Text] Benguela--The economic and financial situation of the People's
Republic of Angola and the austerity measures handed down from above were the
subjects at an explanatory meeting held Sunday in 1 May Square in this city,
which was attended by thousands of persons. Kundi Paihama, a member of the
Political Bureau of the Central Committee if the MPLA-Labor Party and minister
of state with responsibilities for inspection and state control, presided at
the meeting, the purpose of which was basically criticism and education.

At the beginning of his speech, this party leader and government member said
that the difficult economic and financial situation in the country at present
is is the result of the economic crisis affecting the capitalist world, which
is having substantial negative effects on other countries, particularly those
in the so-called Third World, that is, those in the process of development.

"The People's Republic of Angola also finds itself in this situation, due to
the sudden drop in oil prices on the international market. This product was
our largest source of foreign exchange. And our situation is aggravated by
the undeclared war reflected in the constant attacks and subversive actions
undertaken by the regular army of racist South Africa and its lackeys, who use
every imaginable means to achieve their goals,” the minister said.

Kundi Paihama emphasized that the RPA is facing one of the greatest crises
since its establishment in the economic and financial sector, and he stressed
the need to understand this phenomenon, as well as the great responsibility
which falls to each citizen and the entire people in connection with the
effort to win this battle.

He also urged the people to undertake the production of other export products
such as coffee and mineral ores and to exploit the maritime wealth, in an
effort to cope with the drop in oil prices. He refuted rumors to the effect
that the Angolan government has no way of successfully overcoming the crisis.

Concerning the policy of the party as to the skilled labor force, this leader
stressed the importance of selfless work, properly organized, and a better use
of the cadres we have in various sectors, in order to eliminate once and for
all the injustice to which our national cadres are subjected as compared to

29



He suggested that educationists should start developing a strategy for a
new education system that would be community-based and centered on the needs
of the individual child rather than on the requirements of an ideology.

In his official opening address at the conference Dr Cedric Phatudi,
chief minister of Lebowa and a former member of TUATA, criticised the
government for talking about. achieving parity between black and white
education in only 10 years.

"It is possible to achieve parity if sacrifices are made by the whites.
The contents of the cake can no longer be determined by whites only.
We don't want to just share the cake. We must bake it with the whites
and decide also how to cut it," he said.

The establishment. of one department of national education could be
welcomed as one step in the right direction, he said.

EQUIPMENT, MATERIAL SHORTAGES DELAY AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 22 Jul 86 p 3
[Article by Diogo Paixao]

[Text] The work of remodeling Hangar Four, which is being used at present as
the domestic terminal, is far behind schedule due to the difficulties
encountered by the National Airport and Air Navigation Operations Company
(ENANA) in obtaining construction materials, vehicles and mechanized
equipment, since it is not a civil construction enterprise and is not
organized for this purpose, the head of that enterprise, Jose Pedro Tome,
explained.

Jose Pedro Tome, the general director of the enterprise, who recently made a
statement to our newspaper, went on to say that one of the steps in carrying
out this work is the awarding of the contract to a civil construction
enterprise.

In this connection, bids have been solicited from various enterprises engaged
in such work, and whichever submits the proposal which is most viable from
both the technical and economic points of view will be chosen to do the work.

It is important to remember that the ENANA, the enterprise responsible for
airport operations, initially made a commitment to do this work using its own
resources, within a 3 month period at the most.

In an interview granted by the general director of the ENANA to JORNAL DE
ANGOLA last February, he said that this work involved the installation of
plumbing equipment in the hangar, the construction of a waiting room at the
entrance, the leveling of the paved area, and the installation of flight
confirmation counters in various locations (to avoid passenger crowding and
the resulting disciplinary problems), among other measures.

The information provided by the general director of the ENANA at the time of
our first interview created certain expectations among our domestic
passengers, while today, Pedro Tome says that the problems which arose in
carrying out the plans drafted earlier exceeded what he had foreseen.

BRIEFS

MINIMUM GRAIN PRICE--Commodore Steve Obimpeh, Secretary for Agriculture,
on Wednesday announced a new minimum guaranteed price of 2,500 cedis per
100 kilogrammes of maize. This is an increase of 25 percent over that of
last year when it was sold at 2,000 cedis. Launching the 1986/87 maize
purchases at a ceremony at Wamfie in Brong Ahafo Commodore Obimpeh further
announced that the new guaranteed minimum price for paddy rice is 2,300
cedis as against 2,000 cedis last year. He made it clear that the prices
are the minimum that farmers are to accept for their produce. Commodore
Obimpeh said farmers are at liberty to sell their produce at higher prices
provided they did so within the borders of the country. He believed that
the prices are fair to both producers and consumers. Commodore Obimpeh
said the new price quotations were higher than imported rice or maize from
| New York or Brazil. According to him the nation's output in the two cereals
would have to be two to three times more to be competitive on the world
market. The Secretary disclosed that the Grains Development Board has
developed three maize varieties which yield higher than the varieties in
use and hoped farmers would adopt the new seeds. He assured the farmers
that any depot keeper of the Ghana Food Distribution Corporation who cheats
farmers in maize purchases would face the full rigours of the law and hoped
farmers would be bold enough to report all cases of fraud.--GNA [Text]

The document further stressed the overfulfillment of the production plans for
corn (390 percent), citrus fruits (283 percent), palm oil (137 percent) and
bananas (102.6 percent).

However, the production of sisal hemp continued at a rather low level, while
of the 2,000 tons of green bananas planned for the quarter, only 912 were
produced.

In livestock production, although the number of animals who died of the
various ailments which plagued the region increased, it was possible to add
138 head of cattle, 26 of swine and 19 of goats to the figures for the
beginning of the year.

Energy production, the main bottleneck in the industrial development of the
province, was affected during this quarter by a breakdown at the Biopio
thermal power plant, which caused difficulties in supplying electrical energy
to the province of Huambo.

In construction, it was stated, activity during the quarter was
characterized by an increase in the deficit situation which already existed at
the enterprises producing construction materials, with the exception of the
ECIBEM and Engineering.

The document said that the basic causes of the deterioration in this sector.
apart from the irregular supply of electrical energy, were due to the shortage
of cement, spare parts, oils and lubricants. For these reasons, there was a
period of almost total paralysis in the units producing construction materials
during this quarter.

The document emphasized that in the fishing sector, the catch came to only 84
percent of the total planned for the quarter. As a result, the plans drafted
for the production of canned and cure-dried fish were not fulfilled.

This was due basically to the low operational level of the ship-repair sector,
since the equipment at the shipyards is obsolete.

Finally, in the social sector, which includes the bodies which provide
services and direct aid to the population, such as domestic trade, health,
housing, social affairs and others, there was a slight improvement in the
technical-organizational aspects during the first quarter.

The health sector, the provincial commissariat concluded, suffered during this
period from a shortage of transport facilities for shipping the medicines and
materials necessary for the proper care of patients from Luanda to Benguela.
These materials included replacement parts, gauze, cotton, adhesive tape,
anesthetics, transfusion systems and laboratory apparatus. The nonarrival of
these items weakened the system of medical care. :

PORT ELIZABETH PUPILS RETURN TO CLASS
MB101417 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1226 GMT 10 Sep 86

[Text] Port Elizabeth, 10 Sep (SAPA)--Scores of pupils, mostly in uniform,
turned up for classes today at Port Elizabeth black post-primary schools
hit by a boycott since 25 July.

There was confusion over a statement last night by the chief liaison
officer of the Department of Education and Training [DET] in Pretoria,
Mr Job Schoeman, that 20 schools in the eastern Cape would remain closed
for the rest of the year.

However, Mr Schoeman said today no schools in Port Elizabeth were to be
closed.

"We are still looking at the situation in Port Elizabeth. Where re-
registration had taken place schooling will continue but where the
attendance drops below 80 (percent) schools will have to be closed," he
said.

Mr Schoeman said the schools that were closed at present were in Cradock,
Graaff-Reinet, Grahamstown, Fort Beaufort, Duncan Village, Kirkwood, Addo,
Humansdorp, Hankey and Queenstown.

He said permanent staff teachers at these schools would be transferred to
other areas or sent for in-service training. Temporary staff would be
retrenched.

In a snap survey today Port. Elizabeth's EVENING POST newspaper found an
apparently good turnout at most schools.

There was little evidence of a police presence at schools--something
pupils had raised as one of the reasons for the boycott.

Apart from the Ithembelihle High School, teachers were not asking for
identification cards.

At Ithembelihle a group of pupils who did not have cards were seen outside
the gate. /

CAFANGOL EXPORT FIGURES--The CAFANGOL, an Angolan state enterprise, exported
166,748 sacks of coffee (a sack contains 60 kilograms) valued at $310,936
during the first half of this year. According to information provided to the
ANGOP by a source affiliated with the CAFANGOL, these figures represent 106
percent of the quantity and 113 percent of the value in the estimates for the
period. With the purchase of 102,000 sacks of coffee valued at ?$21,194,000,
the GDR ranked first on the list of clients for this product during this
period, the source added. Other clients included the Netherlands (35,000
sacks worth $5,715,250), Portugal (16,500 sacks worth $2,960,000), the FRG
(6,998 sacks, estimated at $911,686) and Spain (6,250 sacks worth $1,155,000).
Coffee is currently playing an important role in diversifying and increasing
the country's exports, since it is one of the alternatives for improving the
Angolan trade and payments balances, which have been seriously affected by the
drop in the prices of oil, the main export product of the RPA. [Text]

“Sanctions supposedly affect only the South African government. If by
some mischange, blacks should also be hurt, it has been blithely said that
they are prepared to suffer.

"Will those persons who say that, suffer themselves? Or must others
suffer for them while their children are well cared for or are safely
abroad."

Mr Botha said those black advocates should set personal examples.

"They don't even need sanctions imposed from abroad. They can achieve
the same results by resigning their jobs here--by giving up their incomes
right here and through setting an.example to those who are called upon to
sacrifice their jobs and income."

Sanctions could not be imposed on South Africa alone, they were indis-
criminate in their effect on the economies that were closely linked in

the region.

The health of the South African economy was the "mainspring" and "dynamo"
of other southern African countries economies.

The realities of sanctions would soon set in. There would be senseless
and indiscriminate suffering by all South Africans and the people in
southern Africa.

Sanctions were not political abstractions ‘put about people, their jobs,
livelihood or hunger.

Sanctions were also about power and would retard the negotiating process
in South Africa.

“The instigators of violence and intimidation will believe that the
outside world is doing their work for them and they have therefore no
need to come to the negotiating table."

They would continue in their resolve to achieve political ends through
violence. The South African Government wanted to know from the western
countries who were imposing sanctions what responsibility they would take.

Mr Botha said he wanted to know from the countries in the region who
supported sanctions if they could do without the food, credit, jobs, railways,
ports, technical and medical facilities provided by South Africa.

The government had repeated its invitation to leaders of all communities
to negotiate a new constitution which also protected minorities.

Despite substantial reform measures, demands for further punitive economic
measures to force the South African Government to get rid of apartheid and
to negotiate were applied. The more the government reformed the more the
pressure became.

Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 22 Jul 86 p 12

{Text] Rio de Janeiro--Angolan Minister of Foreign Trade Ismael Martins
described his satisfaction with the results of his 8-day visit to Brazil to
the ANGOP in this city on Saturday.

The Angolan leader termed the visit "very good and timely," and said he had
found, both in his meetings with President Jose Sarney and a number of
Brazilian ministers and those with businessmen, that political conditions
favorable to the expansion of relations with Angola do exist in Brazil at this
time.

Ismael Martins said that a number of Brazilian enterprises indicated
willingness to cooperation with Angola in various sectors, ranging from
agriculture to mining and including the energy and petrochemical sectors, the
food and household appliance industries, technical aid and other realms.

On the other hand, the Angolan minister said that the government credit
institutions in Brazil indicated willingness to finance all of the cooperation
projects between Angola and Brazil.

A number of Brazilian enterprises showed interest in participating in the
Luanda International Fair later this year. This may mark the beginning of a
new phase in the trade relations between the two countries,

Ismael Martins said that a number of Brazilian engineering enterprises are
ready to participate in projects involving the transfer of technology to
Angola. Interest was also expressed by some enterprises in participating in
the Angolan iron and steel programs.

In the agricultural sector, according to the minister, an agreement was
reached on Brazilian participation in a seed-production program. An agreement
was also reached in accordance with which Angola and Brazil are to reconcile
their positions as coffee producers with regard to the consumer countries
more effectively. On the other hand, Brazil has agreed to provide
technological support for the Angolan coffee recovery program.

their home countries recently after a 3-day stay in Angola. A statement
released to the media Thursday by the National Union of Workers of Angola
(UNTA) gave details on this visit of the trade union leaders from these two
countries, which was organized within the framework of the work of the
Federation of Construction Workers Unions in the member nations of the South
African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC). The two visitors to
Angola had talks with the national secretary of the Construction and Housing

NEW RURAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL--Caxito--Angolan Vice Minister for Basic Education
Joaquim da Silva Matias visited the settlement of Sassa, in Caxito, yesterday
for the laying of the cornerstone for a new rural technical school. The
building of this school, which will accommodate 150 students, it will be
recalled, has been made possible by a gift from the Danish People-to-People
Development Association (ADPP) to the Angolan people. This gift falls within
the framework of the implementation of the cooperation agreements between the
governments of the People's Republic of Angola and Denmark. The rural
technical school in Caxito, a boarding facility which will accommodate 75
students after the first construction phase, will teach various subjects in
different specialties, including metalworking, mechanics and agriculture, in
addition to basic academic training. Its inauguration is planned for March of
1987, In his speech, Vice Minister Joaquim da Silva Matias emphasized that
the building of this school will strengthen the bonds of friendship and
solidarity linking the peoples of Angola and Denmark in the realm of
educational development. In this connection, this Angolan government leader
urged the workers and the people's masses in the province of Bengo to make
every effort to aid the technicians of the ADPP in the building of this
project, which is an undertaking of importance to local development. The head
of the project, Smorre Wastgaard, in turn, emphasized that the gift from the
association in his country is a part of the policy of aiding the peoples in
southern Africa, mainly the Front Line nations and Angola in particular, in
their struggle against ignorance and international imperialism. . When this
school, the first of its kind in Angola, is completed, it will be served by
the expanded cooperation effort in the technical education field. The
ceremony just held was attended by Bengo Provincial Commissioner Manuel Lopes
Maria (Xi Mutu) and other local party and government leaders, [Text] [Luanda

and the efforts of retired Presi-
dent Nyerere. had played a. big
role in unifying the Peo} le.

mined to revive this co-opera-
tion for the benefit of the people

“We should forget past mis-

No. There can be no more beating around the bush, saying that the Executive
Council has taken measures to encourage the economic operator to produce more:
the repatriation of profits, remuneration of capital, suspension of entry
duties on certain products, membership in the Multinational Agency. to guaran-
tee investments against noncommercial risks -- meaning nationalization --
deconfiscation of goods following upon the holding of raw materials, the
bracketing of entry duties between 5 and 60 percent, elimination of the 2-
percent tax on diamond and gold mining: All incentives to help the economic
operator.

Unfortunately, the feedback is none other than a slow takeover of our economy,
a tendency toward renewed‘ inflation. The’ Executive Council notes with great
bitterness that efforts made in 1984 and appreciated both nationally and
internationally thanks. to that communion of spirit and thought have not been
followed up. Already in 1985, the inflation rate was 30 instead of 15 percent,
according to estimates, compared with 17.7 percent in 1984. Exports are down
and fraud and smuggling are in full swing. In the rural areas where the
recovery is to begin, the people have turned their backs on agriculture, the
pillar of our economy, preferring to serve the poachers and gold smugglers.

What is even more serious, some of them are behaving as if they were in the
Old West, even taking the law into their own hands. The example in Goma on
18 August 1986, involving a Belgian family and an OFIDA [Customs and Excise
Office] technical assistant, tells us a great.deal. Actually, Hoffman was
attacked at the Masques Hotel for having demanded, in the line of duty, that
the Gilles family pay-the customs duties on an automobile imported from a
neighboring country.

We are also informed.in Bukavu that persons arrested in the park with a large
quantity of elephant tusks reportedly offered judges 1 million zaires in an
attempt to make them hand down a friendly verdict. So much for our border
cities.

Spare the rod and spoil the child, they say, especially when it is a matter
of halting economic banditry, especially when it is the welfare of the people
that is at stake. The first state commissioner has announced a series of
measures: elimination from the commercial record, a ban on credit-and
licenses, exile to one's: native village’, revocation, rehabilitation, deporta-
tion from Zaire, and so on, all negative punishments. Compensation for all
revolutionary elements reporting authentic cases of those undermining our
economy. They will receive positive sanctions.

In the meantime, other administrative provisions have been drawn up: making
the subcommittees on price structures operational, the agreement with SITEX
stipulating that any ivory tusk imported should bear the stamp of its native
country and that no plane may illegally carry the tusk, under penalty of
paying damages and interest to the country concerned, the inspection of the
origin of goods at stores, warehouses and markets, and so on.

"If subjects to be studied are of an ideological or political nature, so

be it. If they refuse history, so be it. To us the present education is

a ghetto education. Our people are not free to compete on the international
scene," said Mr Tsele.

Mr Khanyile said it was ironic that many people talked so much about
politicising education, but black children were taught National Party
politics, "we want to move to a holistic education."

He added that they could not do away with the present matric. certificate
under the prevailing circumstances, but hoped in the future to introduce
a certificate which would cover a broader range of interests.

With regard to a possible boycott of classes in opposition to the recent
closing of certain schools, Mr Khanyile said he knew of no official
boycott, .but it was possible students would take action.

A boycott would be contrary to wishes of their organisation, the parents
and the students themselves.

He added: "It is impossible in the circumstances in this country to call
a meeting in Soweto or anywhere in the country to discuss the crisis with
community members."

BOPHUTHATSWANA MINISTERS DEPLORE LACK OF RECOGNITION
MB110446 Johannesburg SAPA in English 2015 GMT 10 Sep 86

[Text] Mmabatho, 10 Sep (SAPA)--The refusal of the international community
to recognise Bophuthatswana as an independent territory was like passing
the death sentence without a fair trial, as required by international law,
the foreign minister, Mr Thate Molatlhwa said today.

He was replying to a question by visiting West German journalists in
Mmabatho today, and said the country was not internationally recognised
as being independent from South Africa, even if it was by choice.

Mr Molatlhwa told the journalists that the United Nations was, in a way,
discriminatory, because it had decided not to recognise Bophuthatswana
shortly before independence, and added that it was one of a few nations in
Africa that had an entrenched bill of rights in its constitution.

The minister of manpower, Mr Soly Rathebe, said financial assistance
received from South Africa amounted to about 6 percent. He stressed
Bophuthatswana was not entirely dependent on the republic as rumoured
overseas, and that military and financial aid received was no different
to that Third World countries received from the United States or
European countries.

Local government minister, the Reverend S.M. Seodi said lack of recognition
was a handicap, economically and diplomatically, but it was a great
challenge to the country's development.

During this same period and also in the first half of this year, the
individual peasants were provided with more than 27,000 kilograms of regional
corn seeds, as well as calahare, garden crops and macunde beans.

In the opinion of Agostinho Ferreira, the low rainfall in the province of
Namibe has limited the potential of certain areas such as Virei and Chingu,
although he added that seeds for short-season vegetable crops are being sent
to these zones.

The DNACA director said that the supply of production tools provided to the
peasants is satisfactory, and that in the year in question, members were
provided with 19,821 axes, hoes, hatchets, and other tools.

All of the measures implemented by the ENCODIPA to make the association
movement more dynamic have been well received by the members of the
associations and cooperatives. Their organizational level is rather high,
this official explained, adding that with the increase in world marketing,
everything has contributed to an increase in farm production in the region.

The director of the DNACA concluded that the establishment of more
associations and cooperatives in other parts of the province is dependent on
the development of those presently existing in various areas, and on the
dynamism of the effort made to resolve the difficulties hindering the
incorporation of more peasants in the associative movement in the rural
sector.

HEUNIS DISCUSSES SITUATION IN SOWETO

MB040538 Johannesburg SAPA in English 2003 GMT 3 Sep 86

[Text] House of Assembly, 3 Sep (SAPA)--The government would have
approached a call for the appointment of a judicial inquiry into last
week's deaths and injuries in Soweto differently if the situation was
one of calm, total stability and order, the minister of constitutional
development and planning, Mr Chris Heunis, said today.

Rejecting the call, made by Mrs Helen Suzman (PFP [Progressive Federal
Party] Houghton) in a special debate, he said the climate was revolu-
tionary, as the state of emergency clearly indicated.

He moved an amendment to Mrs Suzman's motion, proposing instead that the
house condemn and reject any form of unlawful violence leading to the

loss of life, damage to property and the creating of situations of disorder
and lawlessness.

The house should also give its support to. lawful actions by all government
institutions, organisations and individuals which were aimed at countering
loss of lives, preventing damage to property, and to maintain a situation
of order so that normal civilian life could continue.

Mr Heunis, who said the government was well aware of the conditions the
people of Soweto lived in, rejected claims from various quarters that the
primary cause of the violence and unrest was inadequate housing, education,
unemployment, a rejection of local government institutions by blacks, or
the lack of facilities such as transport and health.

If these were the reasons why did certain blacks--"by name the UDF
[United Democratic Front]. comrades"--burn others houses down, he asked.

"If it is the so-called poor education system, then we must accept that
is the reason why the ears of children who want to go to school are cut off."

If it was unemployment then it had to be accepted this was the reason why

people who did not want to participate in stayaways were sentenced to
30 strokes in a so-called "people's court."

P.W. BOTHA DEFENDS ISSUING CERTIFICATE FOR SADF MEN
MBO20510 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1904 GMT 2 Sep 86

[Text] House of Assembly, 2 Sep (SAPA)--The four SADF men whose prosecution
for murder was halted on his authorisation earlier this year had been

acting in good faith and "for the purposes of the prevention and suppression
of terrorism in an operational area," the state president, Mr P.W. Botha
said today.

Replying to a question from Mr Peter Gastrow (PFP [Progressive Federal
Party] Durban Central) on a certificate issued under the defence act
halting the prosecution, he said he had been of the opinion that it was
in the national interest that the proceedings not be continued.

The proceedings had been instituted in the ondagwa magistrates court
against D.F. Esselen, J. Fernando, C.J. Harmse and F.J. Herps.

The certificate had been issued by the SWA cabinet on his authorisation,
after he had considered a report submitted to him by the minister of
defence.

Before he gave the authority for the issue of the certificate two senior
legal officers of the legal sections of the SADF and the SWATF had discussed
the matter with the attorney general [AG] of SWA and requested him, in

view of the provisions of the defence act, not to continue the proceedings.

The AG had not complied with this request.

Mr Botha also said the SWA cabinet had asked that the law be amended

"so that authority to issue such a certificate would in future no longer
be granted to the cabinet but to another functionary, inter alia because
the powers relating to the operational activities of the South African
Defence Force do not vest in that cabinet."

This request was under considération.
In a supplementary question Mr Gastrow asked whether, if newspaper reports
that the deceased had died as a result of being kicked were correct,

Mr Botha regarded it as being in the interests of justice that the
certificate be issued. °

MILITARY CHIEF OF STAFF SPEAKS IN KUANDO KUBANGO
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 19 Jul 86 pp 1, 12
[Article by Carlos Miranda]

[Text] Kuando Kubango--In a speech delivered yesterday in Menongue, the
capital of this province, Col Antonio Franca (N'Dalu), a member of the
Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the MPLA~Labor Party and chief of
the general staff of the People's Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola
(FAPLA), confirmed the decision and determination of the Angolan people to
continue, despite the difficult economic situation existing in the People's
Republic of Angola, to defend their revolution and the conquests won after
harsh years of struggle against the international imperialists.

This representative of the party and the FAPLA, who has come to this region of
our country in connection with the campaign to explain to the people the
austerity measures for economies and savings on all levels, in view of the
drop in the price of oil and the aggravation of the military situation,
stressed that these measures are necessitated by the imperialist maneuvers
seeking to hinder our development.

Speaking about the political-military situation, Colonel N'Dalu emphasized
that “our people have always fought and struggled for their independence, and
today they are resisting heroically,” since "they have moral strength and
historic reasons enough to resist not just for 10 years, but indeed for 200
years more.”

The head of the general staff of the FAPLA further stated that although they
were oppressed by the Portuguese colonial regime, the Angolan people have not
lost their great qualities of intelligence or their tremendous capacity to
resist and sacrifice, particularly when it is a question of defending their
freedom and independence,

In this connection, this Angolan leader described the people of Kuando Kubango
in particular as "faithful witnesses" to the war waged by the racist regime in
South Africa and its supporting force, the UNITA. He noted that the people of
this province are participating directly in the defense of the fatherland and
the Angolan revolution. Turning to the austerity measures approved by the
vanguard party, Colonel N'Dalu described them as "precise directions” for

‘THE National Mo-

A revised crash pro-
gramme to replace the 198

drawn up, Commodore

Commodore Obimpeh
explained that “the review
has become necessary be-
cause of the over-
ambitious character of the

coupled with apathy, ne-
glect and blatant lack of
co-ordination amongst the
various sector activities as.
well as problems militating
against the achievement of
the aims and objectives of

Speaking at the closing
session of the second na-
tional delegates conference
of Regional Liaison Offic-
ers of NMP in Kumasi at
the week-end, the Secre-
tary said the revised pro-
gramme places emphasis
on the use of loca! initiati-
ve, resources and mobis-
quads to achieve higher
production levels in all
sectors of the economy,
particularly agriculture.

"The new programme he
pointed out, wilt be easier
te implement than the
ambitious 1983 one, be-
cause agriculture is the
firet priority and -the cor-
neratone of economic reco-
very and-national cons-
truction and as such the
thrust of the NMP remains
on agriculture.

‘He gave the assurance
that Ministry of Agri-
culture. will closely work
with the National Mobili-
sation Committee in an ef-
fort to achieve the national
objective of self-sufficiency
‘in agricultural production.

In this respect, Commo-
dore Obimpeh said he
mobisqu: concept whic
was evolved by the NMP
to offer assistance and also
provide cheap labour must
be sustained and improved
upon.

He commended the
NMP, Regional Liaison
Officera and mobisquads
for the modest gains
achieved so far in the fields
of agriculture and rural
development since the in-
pon of the NMP.

while, a resolution
adopted at the end of the
conference called on the
Ministries of Education
and Culture and Informa-
tion to intensify political
education in the rural
communities.

It further stressed the
need for ‘co-operation

The government was not going to ignore transgressions of the act, however.

"I want to warn that I can act administratively and that I will do so,"
he said. :

“Acting administratively means that I can sell a person's property. I
have already given notice that property will be sold."

Church organisations were also major. transgressors right across the country
while it was their Christian duty to obey the authorities.

"I ask them for their cooperation so that I am not forced to sell their
church property."

Earlier, the leader of the OFS [Orange Free State] national party,

Mr Kobie Coetsee, intervened when speakers from'the fllor disagreed about
motions calling for the "unaltered" retention of the Group Areas Act and
the rejection of grey areas.

He pointed out that the congress had already approved federal congress
motions dealing with the subject and. then read an extract of the speech
by the state president, Mr P.W. Botha, in which he indicated that the law
should be made more flexible.

The federal congress motion in effect meant that the accent was not on
retaining specific laws but rather that certain principles and fundamentals
were retained.

Mr Coetsee offered a compromise motion that the matters be treated in the
spirit of the decisions of the federal congress and in terms of motions
already agreed to by the OFS congress earlier today and yesterday.

The situation had reached a
point where things were left to

already started saying that the
Government - was being too
harsh on those involved in the
GAPEX scandal when it opened
legal charges against them after,
it had sacked them.

The President said leaving
such people scot free after sack-
ing them was tantamount to let-
ting them to enjay the ‘money

was to..prosecute them, in the
courts of law. - n a

GDR FIRM'S TRUCK EXPORTS, COOPERATIVE EFFORT DESCRIBED
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 22 Jul 86 p 12

[Text] Luanda--The total number of vehicles exported to Angola in the 10
years since it won independence by the GDR firm Transportmaschinen Export-
Import comes to 12,000 trucks of the IFA-type and 700 Robur trucks and
automobiles.

These figures were provided to the ANGOP by Karl-Friedrich Scharfe, the
engineer who heads the IFA department in Angola and represents that
enterprise. He added that the People's Republic of Angola is among the most
reliable partners and is one of the nations on the African continent to which
Transportmaschinen exports the largest volume.

In order to guarantee the maintenance of the type of vehicles the GDR markets
in the country, Karl-Friedrich Scharfe said, about 2,000 local technicians

have been trained in such specialties as mechanics, electricity, gear boxes,
injection pumps and others.

To this end, the chief engineer of Transportmaschinen went on to say, about 50
German specialists have been assigned to various cities in the country to
assist the Angolan technicians and laborers working with IFA-W50 and Robur
vehicles, within the framework of the agreements in effect between the
People's Republic of Angola and the GDR.

Along with the courses offered in Angola, others, for specialized training and
lasting 3 months, are being attended by Angolans in the GDR.

The IFA factory, which was built in the city of Berlin after World War II, is
now exporting vehicles to 40 countries today on all five continents, They
include the RDA, Ethiopia and Mozambique.

Moreover, the GDR Transportmaschinen Export-Import enterprise has established
an assembly line for motorcycles and bicycles through a contract signed by the
ministries of industry in the two countries.

According to Karl-Friedrich Scharfe, this line, put into operation a little

over 6 months ago, on 11 November 1985, to be exact, by the two nations®
ministers of industry, will assemble 10,000 Simson motorcycles annually.

Besides, Cameroon , which is a small producer of petroleum, is
looking right now at a kind of petroleum halt. Fortunately, Ca-
meroon never depended very heavily on oil to develop its economy.

NORD-SUD:Quite true: Cameroon has been an exemplary country on
that score...

Mboumoua: Our leaders were wise enough to view oil as a major as-
set, of course, but not as a panacea.

NORD-SUD: You have concentrated your development efforts on your
village communities and on your rural zones.

Mboumoua: We have centered our development programs on village
communities and on food-crops to the point where—and this is

one of our country's proudest achievements—we are now wholly
self-sufficient when it comes to feeding our people. and we are
determined to go beyond that and to become Africa's central gra-
nary and—why not?—that of other countries, and what that will
mean to us in the long run. We are confident that that enlightened
policy decision is what has put us in a less uncomfortable position
than a lot of other countries.

NORD-SUD: What do you expect, in practical terms, from a country
like Belgium? The Joint Commission that has just convened has
failed to reach a direct conclusion as to the root cause of a pri-
vate dispute (Belgavox), but I hardly think that will adversely
affect your relations with Belgium: do you?

Mboumoua: No. . One of Cameroon's principles is what. we call our omnidirectio- .-
nal cooperation policy. Belgium is a country with a colonialist
past, and therefore can come up with a number of solutions to some
of the problems faced by former colonies. We are therefore quite
disposed to cooperate with Belgium. And we are doing that in a
number of areas, including technical assistance and agriculture.
Belgian technical cadres helped us set up our Advanced Agronomy
School. And I believe that a number of [Belgian] instructors are
teaching at that school. Belgium right now is helping us build

a very large hospital at Yaounde. Of course, this is not a gift:
it is a financial arrangement, but Belgian companies are doing
the construction work. Belgium is involved in quite a few water-
supply projects for villages in several regions, but also in other
projects such as stadium construction...Belgium is a country just
about the size of Cameroon, population-wise. And we can work to-
gether without embarrassment.

I was in Belgium myself late last May, heading Cameroon's delega-—
tion to the Joint Commission. It went off quite well. First of
all, I co-signed an agreement with the Minister on maritime rights.
As for the rest of the points we intended to raise, I think that
the experts did a splendid job. There were a few minor glitches
there about the Belgavox incident—which I regret—but which, in
any event, I cannot go into in any detail. Nevertheless, I do

not believe there was any serious breach.

GHANA

RELATIONS WITH BULGARIA SAID CORDIAL
Accra PEOPLE'S DAILY GRAPHIC in English 11 Aug 86 p 1

[Text] The Governments of Ghana and Bulgaria have expressed "complete
satisfaction" at relations between their two countries.

This is contained in a report published in Sofia at the week-end to mark
Bulgaria's 25 years of diplomatic relations with Ghana.

The report noted that Ghana is one of the first African countries south
of the Sahara with which Bulgaria established diplomatic relations and
exchanged Ambassadors since 1961.

"For 25 years now, Bulgaria-Ghana relations have been developing effectively
on the basis of the two countries’ common interests and their support for
the struggle against colonialism and racism in Africa."

It observed that the friendly relations between the two countries are
complemented by active economic links characterised by the respect for
equality and mutual understanding.

"The mutual trust and friendship between the two countries have been
promoted through increasingly frequent exchange of visits in various fields
and at various levels.

The report made particular reference to the visit by Mr P.V. Obeng, PNDC
member and chairman of the Committee of Secretaries to Bulgaria in May last
year, in response to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Mr Graisha
Filipov's visit to Ghana a year earlier.

According to the report the visits helped to strengthen the already cordial
relations between the two countries.

It also made reference to the expansion of bilateral agreements which have
created better opportunities for the increased relations in the fields of
politics, economy, culture, education and sports and other areas to the
benefit of both countries.--GNA

NORD-SUD: —but there was no agreement, either...

Mboumoua: No, there wasn't. We did not sign the minutes of our
proceedings but I believe we will do so eventually.

NORD-SUD: Foreign Minister Tindemans doesn't think that anything
has been lost, What about you?

Mboumoua: Neither do I. Because, even so, relations between
States are far more important than the concerns of any private en-
terprise. If the political leaders on both sides start thinking
that way, then everything will fall back into place again.

NORD-SUD: In your address to the UN tribunal, you mentioned human
resources. But you went on to cite biotechnology, computers, and
telecommunications. Do you believe—and J am alluding here to
Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber's excellent "Global Challenge," that
Africa can make the direct leap into the age of information, and do
it without any transition period whatever?

Mboumoua: I think we have no choice but to do it. We are going to’
have to take two separate approaches. The first approach must be
to avoid selling our souls. By that is meant going back to probe
deeply into our roots, and draw whatever sustenance we can from
them as we contemplate our future. And, at the same time, we must
come to grips with what technology hath wrought. We cannot sit on
the sidelines: if we do, that gap will be hard to close in the fu-
ture. I believe we have to make an effort right now to embrace

both approaches.

NORD-SUD: The technocrats are poised to do just that. But what
about the people?

Mboumoua: Listen: Whatever research can give us in the areas of

biotechnology, genetics, or agricultural inputs, we can perfectly
well explain to the peasant farmer. It's all a matter of method,
of pedagogy. But I think it is altogether possible.

NORD-SUD: The Chinese have succeded in putting down the problem
of hunger. Why haven't the Africans done likewise until now?

Mboumoua: That is a very tough question...I think it is a human
resource problem. People have got to work. There is no other
solution. They have to have the means to achieve respectable le-
vels of productivity. Obviously, this is also a question of dif-
ferent inputs, but first of all, men have to want to work, and to
be made aware of the fact that there is work to be done. Once we
achieve that—and barring natural catastrophes—we shall start
getting better results.

NORD=SUD: What is Cameroon's position toward Marshal Mobutu's
campaign to establish a Black African League?

It was clearly not a struggle about power but for the seizure of power.

"The controlling communist element in the ANC knows that it cannot achieve
its aims around the negotiating table. What they want can be achieved
through violence alone."

Mr Botha said it was conceivable that the ANC had promised South Africa's
neighbor financial and economic compensation from its mineral wealth.
There could even be promises to form a mineral cartel.

CABINDA COFFEE HARVEST FORECAST--CABINDA--ANGOP has learned from the provincial
coffee trade union that the 11th coffee harvest in Cabinda, which began on

30 June, is predicted to be 590 metric tons as compared to last year's 634
metric tons, i.e., a decrease of 44 metric tons. Cabinda, the fourth-largest
coffee producing province after Uige, Kwanza~Sul and Bengo, now has 5,032
registered hectares planted in coffee according to the survey taken during the
restructuring of the national coffee sector, of which only 1,063 hectares are
now being harvested. According to the trade union, the province's total area
planted in coffee, 9,332 hectares, must be replanted soon in order to ensure
profitability. The regional coffee enterprise, Buco-Zau, which is so far the
only one to have been organized on the provincial level, hopes to regain the
same number of hectares as had been cultivated previously in the province.

TRAINING FOR TRUCK MECHANICS~-The first basic 9-month course for mechanics
specializing in the repair of DAF trucks. which was taught by Portuguese
technician Jose Santos at the main premises of the Porto base in Luanda, ended
yesterday. Eight of the nine students initially enrolled graduated, and a
ceremony was held to present their diplomas. The national director of road
transportation, Armando Manuel, attended as the representative of Angolan
Minister of Transport and Communications Bernardo de Sousa, a member of the
Central Committee of the party. During the ceremony, which was also attended
by the director of the central Porto base office, Manuel da Cunha, and the
representative of DAF Trucks in Angola, Roelanda Van Lohuizen, as well as
other officials from the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Armando
Manuel urged the new graduates to dedicate themselves industriously to using
the knowledge they have acquired, to ensure the technical maintenance of the
trucks of this brand, thus making the partial support of foreign technicians
unnecessary. The DAF representative, Van Lohuizen, for his part, emphasized
the fruitful cooperation between the DAF and our country in his speech. He
went on to add that "as the recently trained mechanics gain experience, the
DAF, working with the ENACMA and the Ministry of Industry, plans to make
preparations for the assembly of trucks of this brand in Angola and to
establish schools and general offices. If this is to be done, the number of
Angolan specialists trained in this subject must be increased,” he said in
conclusion. It will be remembered that the DAF is an enterprise which has
handled trucks of that brand in Angola since 1977. There are a total of 600
such units in our country now. [Text] [Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese

SOUTH AFRICA

EAST MAY AID AVOIDANCE OF SANCTIONS ON COAL
MB111733 Johannesburg THE STAR in English 11 Sep 86 p 1
[Article by Michael Morris, THE STAR Bureau]

[Text] London--Communist Eastern Bloc countries could provide South
Africa's coal industry with a secret passage to Western markets in the

event of a European Community ban.

Bulgaria and Romania are said to be among East European states willing
to provide a backdoor route.

In Johannesburg, THE STAR financial staff report that a South African coal
analyst said today he knew of one South African company which has sold
more than 100,000 tons of low-grade coal at the high price of U.S.$27
(about R64) a ton to these two countries for their own use.

When Mr Steve Ellis, chairman of Trans-Natal Coal, was approached for his
views, he said he was not aware of any company considering this route,
but it was possible.

He added that at the moment coal companies were concentrating on protecting
their markets by convincing customers it would be to their own detriment
if sanctions were imposed, since world prices would almost rise. [as
published]

British traders say South African coal is distinctive and would be easily
identifiable, ‘even in a blend of other coals, and discerning buyers who
are wary of the political risks would be unlikely to.buy supplies laundered
through Eastern Europe.

One coal trader said: "It is quite easy to identify the origin of a coal.
Each variety has a specific profile."

But traders agree that laundered stocks would reach the market through
buyers who are unmoved by ethics and unconcerned about the risks--as long
as the price suits them.

[Text] Johannesburg, 11 Sep (SAPA)—-The University of the North is in a
state of siege, claim three students who travelled to Johannesburg to
speak to the press today.

The presence of troops on campus was confirmed by the Bureau for Information,
who said "moderate students" had asked the Lebowa government to "get rid
of intimidators so they could get back to classes."

Lebowa police then asked South African Security Forces to patrol the
campus "for about a week" to make sure moderate students could return to
classes, the bureau spokesman. said.

The bureau denied students had been. wounded and bitten by dogs. The
spokesman said while "things may have become a bit rough during the week,
no beatings or dog attacks took place."

Copies of documents which the press had received from the vice chancellor
and rector of the Turfloop, Professor P.C. Mokgokong, read:

"All students must leave hostels before 7:30 am. Students found in
hostels or elsewhere on campus will be charged with trespassing and
disobeying a lawful order.

"Students with lectures and/or related programmes should proceed to their
respective lecture halls.

"All other students should proceed to the university great hall and wait
there for their respective lectures or practicals.

"Students should attend lectures or practicals then return to the hall at
the end of lectures until further notice."

The notice was sent out on 3 September.

The latest upheavals at Turfloop started when its about 3,000 students
boycotted lectures at the start of this term.

Parts of this report have been deleted to comply with the emergency regulations.

LESOTHO

LESOTHO MONARCH ADDRESSES NAM SUMMIT MEETING
MB050602 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1352 GMT 4 Sep 86

[Text] Harare, 4 Sept (SAPA)--The only effective answer to South African
destabilization activities against independent southern African states is
to strengthen SADCC in order to reduce economic dependence on the South
Africa government, King Moshoeshoe II of Lesotho said in Harare today,
the semi-official news agency ZIANA reports.

Addressing heads of state and government of NAM [Nonaligned Movement]
member countries, the king said there was enormous potential for the
Southern African Development Co-ordination Conference (SADCC) to upgrade
its transport and communications networks in order to divert goods from
South African ports to those of member states. He also said that although
South Africa was one of the principal trading partners in the region, the
SADCC could develop into a much larger market than the South African one,
and could therefore absorb many of the exports of member states. He
also pointed out that, ironically, the SADCC was the biggest market for
South African textiles and plastics, and this could be taken over by
suppliers in the SADCC countries themselves.

King Moshoeshoe, whose country is land locked and surrounded by South
Africa on all sides, claimed that studies had been commissioned by the
Pretoria government to investigate the most effective ways to destabilizing
his country. The studies had recommended the cutting off of all food
supplies and electricity to his country in order to cause maximum chaos
and suffering for his people, so that the Lesotho government would be
forced to toe the South African line.

Thus, the king said, his country was in a "unique position" and its
survival would depend on the amount of solidarity and material support
it got from NAM member states, according to ZIANA. He said that his
country was committed to the abolition of apartheid, and for its part
would do all it could to contribute to the development of the SADCC and
reduce its dependence on South Africa.

The king said that NAM member states had to give each other moral, political
and material support, and warned that the movement would lose its

meeting of the service staff reported that apart from the western division
which experienced grasshopper infestation brought at the beginning of the
rains, all regions of Gambia have had good rains and good crop performance.
The meeting was convened to discuss farmers' problems in adopting

reviewed the newly-launched training and visit system of extension, and
decided that the timely arrival of inputs and mobility of village extension
workers and their supervisors were vital to the success of the new

The PAC official expressed belief that in the present political climate
in southern Africa no African state could or should have any contacts
with entities that openly (?collaborate and) strengthen the South African

racist regime.

{Word indistinct] surprised by the close military nuclear, economic and
other forms of collaboration that exists between the Zionist {as received]
and South Africa because they are two sides of white settler colonialism
in South Africa, he pointed out. Mr Ebrahim said that the holding of

the 8th NAM [Nonaligned Movement] summit. in Harare has already had its
impact on the South African regime as demonstrated by its increased
repression of the people and its [word indistinct] media propaganda,

The PAC official described the summit as a source of encouragement to our
people inside the country who now know that the 101 countries of the world
constituting the overwhelming majority of human population support the just
struggle.

He said the world knew that the racist regime would act violently against
the oppressed majority in the country and the Frontline States but this
only demonstrates the kicks of a dying horse.

Mr Ebrahim, formerly PAC representative at the United Nations, was recently

appointed secretary for foreign affairs by the PAC central committee at
its meeting in Tanzania. He is now based in Dar es Salaam where he spent

many years before going to New York.

He replaces the current PAC chairman Johnson Mlambo.

The draining of puddles and ponds is also planned to minimize or eliminate
breeding places.

Dr Leite also mentioned a campaign against the adult mosquito to be imple-
mented by spraying in and around residences, preferably using 95% Malathion.

Dr Leite identified the Golfe, Petrangol and Cazenga neighborhoods as high-
risk areas due to poor garbage collection. He also stressed that this cam-
paign, which will depend on participation by the entire population with
resoluteness and optimism, will make it possible to reduce the number of
malaria cases, the disease endemic to Luanda causing the most sickness.

Jose Vicente, senior sanitation technician from the Sanitation Sector, spoke
about the multifaceted range of activities that he is directing in the areas
of garbage collection, drainage of standing water, the anti-mosquito campaign
and the supplying of drinking water. With regard to stagnant water, this
official mentioned the deficient performance of the Luanda sewage system and
the poor functioning of the storm sewer system.

He identified the area around the Senate, City Hall (near the Fort), Boa
Vista, Samba and Terranova as having the greatest drainage problems.

He also explained that a general sewer plan for Luanda drawn up by the Con-
struction Ministry has been approved and international bids are now being
sought.

In speaking about the garbage situation, which revolves around removal, collec-
tion and treatment, he said that the filth seen in various places is due to the
deterioration of the transportation system, which thus constitutes a detriment
to public health.

Finally, for this large undertaking, which demands enormous sacrifices and
appeals to all the inhabitants of the capital, Jose Vicente praised the
dynamic role of the Provincial Commissariat, which has undertaken intensive
clean-up and beautification efforts in the last several weeks.

The collaboration between Angola and Cuba in the educational sector is
expanding still further. As a result, plans for the near future include the
training of Angolan teachers through postgraduate courses, the pursuit of
studies by Angolan teachers at Cuban normal training centers, and joint
pedagogical training work using Cuban teachers working at the Agostinho Neto
University.

There are also plans for drafting teaching materials within the context of the
collaboration treaty recently signed. It provides that Cuba will publish 60
texts for the Angolan university. Also, joint research will be developed in
the economic, engineering and scienctific fields.

According to a report read by a Cuban professor during the ceremony at which
medals were presented to teachers in the Agostinho Neto University contingent,
from which the information given here was taken, the number of professors of
Cuban nationality who will teach at that university during the next school
year will be 80, representing an increase of 20 over the year just ended.

The cooperation between Angola and Cuba is cooperation between sister
countries whose mutual goal is the liberation of the peoples from the
imperialist yoke and the creation of societies of technically and
ideologically educated men capable of building socialism.

At 9:15 am pupils without cards said they had been instructed to go into
their classes, where teachers would take a register.

The return to school followed a meeting between the Inter-denominational
African Ministers Association of South Africa (IDAMASA) and the deputy
minister of education and aid, Mr Sam de Beer 2 days ago.

The East Cape Students Council .(ECASCO) had also. endorsed the appeal to
pupils to go back to school.

Mr Patrick Pasha, secretary-general for IDAMASA, was surprised at the
decision by the DET to close some eastern Cape schools. "They never told

us at the meeting about their intentions to close some eastern Cape schools,"
he said.

This would create problems of trust and credibility.

Mr Pasna was shocked to hear pupils at Ithembelihle had been asked for
identity cards.

"Mr Der Beer had promised that identity cards would not. be demanded from
the pupils and Mr Bill Staude, the regional director of education in PE,
had said other people interfering with education would be asked to leave

the premises.
"This included security forces," he said.

Mx Pasna said IDAMASA would make representations on behalf of the closed
schools in the Eastern Cape to be re-opened since pupils in the province
had now shown willingness to return to school.

[Text] Benguela--The production indices achieved in the various realms of
socioeconomic life during the first quarter of this year in the province of
Benguela are gradually moving closer to the goals for the contribution it is
hoped this important center of the country's development can make,

According to the report of the provincial commissariat approved at the 16th
session of the Provincial People's Assembly, which ended recently, obstacles
nonetheless continue to exist, despite the efforts made to resolve the
difficulties. In particular, the low level of material and technical supply
and irregularities in the supply of electrical energy and water are problems.

The document provided to the ANGOP emphasized that in the industrial sector,
the food branch achieved rather substantial figures. The most encouraging
indices were obtained in the production of edible oils (107 percent), ordinary
salt (77 percent) and wheat flour (75 percent), while in the light industrial
branch, only two products reached satisfactory levels, They were textiles,
with plan overfulfillment of more than 60 percent, and cigarettes, with 100
percent fulfillment.

In the heavy industrial branch, according to the document made available to
the ANGOP, there was a slight improvement in the indices, mainly for the
production of acetylene and compressed air, with overfulfillment of 8 and 57
percent, respectively, while the other enterprises did not achieve more than
30-40 percent of the planned goals.

The provincial commissariat report concluded with the farm sector. During the
quarter in question, special attention was devoted to following the
cultivation of corn in the municipalities of Ganda and Cubal and the placement
of means of production in the nine municipalities in the province, in addition
to the recovery of an area of 60 hectares in Hanha do Norte, for the purpose
of increasing banana plantings.

As to the planting campaigns, overfulfillment was achieved in the plans for
raising sorghum, sweet potatoes, beans, bananas and corn, while the plans for
table fruits and sunflowers were not fulfilled.

BRIEFS

OFFICIAL ON TRADE WITH MOZAMBIQUE--The South African trade attache in
Mozambique, Mr Theo van der Merwe, says there are definite trade possi-
bilities in Mozambique for South Africans. He was speaking at a trade
fair in Maputo which was attended by a group of businessmen from the
lowveld. Although South Africa is not represented at the trade fair,
about 30 South African companies are exhibiting through their Mozambican
representatives. Mr Van Der Merwe said South Africa's exports to
Mozambique in 1984 had been valued at about 70 million rand. The president
of the Mozambican Chamber of Commerce, Mr Americo Magaia, said he had no
doubt that there could be closer liaison between Mozambique and the South
African lowveld. He said they shared the same climate and facilities such
as a connecting rail link, communications facilities, and Maputo harbor
could be utilized more advantageously by the two areas. [Text]

EFFECTS OF SANCTIONS ON AGRICULTURE EXAMINED
MBO10900 Johannesburg SAPA in English 0846 GMT 1 Sep 86

[Text] Pretoria, 1 Sep (SAPA)--Mr Kobus Jooste, president of the SA
Agricultural Union, today earnestly appealed to farmers in the United
States to take a strong stand against the imposition. of sanctions against
South African agricultural products. Opening Ford SA's new tractor plant
in Pretoria, Mr Jooste said that U.S. farmers, like farmers in South
Africa, are in dire financial straits.

"It is not in our interest as farmers here or in the United States that
reciprocal trade in agricultural produce between our countries becomes
an issue," he said. "If SA cannot export its agricultural products, it
would hardly be able to continue importing, when necessary, certain
agricultural products such as maize and wheat, or importing on an ongoing
basis important inputs such as tractors and machinery, chemicals and
fertilisers. This hard economic fact could furthermore harden. the attitude
of SA farmers against certain imports. It is clear that farmers of the
world and their workers will eventually have to pay the price for ill-
conceived decisions made by politicians. Decisions farmers in SA or in
the United States can ill afford."

Mr Jooste said that the maintaining of open trading channels is of great
importance to businessmen all over the world, irrespective of the industry
they are involved in. "If the principle of free trade is violated by the
imposition of sanctions, it must be accepted that parties on both sides
will be affected and not only those on the receiving end. It is therefore
in everybody's interest that the international business community make a
stand and do everything in their power to prevent such developments,"

Mr Jooste said.

He stressed that the SA agricultural industry is particularly dependent
upon export markets for its healthy existence. "I am especially concerned
about the possibility of sanctions by the United States against SA agricul-
tural products. For certain of our commodities and for certain regions,

it is absolutely vital. Sanctions could threaten the livelihood of many
farmers as well as that of more than one million workers and their approxi-
mately five and a half million dependents," he said.

Mr Jooste said the union would have an interview tomorrow with the minister
of agricultural economics and of water affairs, Mr J.J.G. Wentzel, to
urgently discuss the whole issue. "The union will consider further actions
after the meeting," Mr Jooste said.

PRESIDENT URGES MORE DISCIPLINE FOR PARASTATALS

Dar es Salaam TANZANIA DAILY NEWS in English 27 Jul 86 p 1

[Article by Mkumbwa Ally]

[Text]

PRESIDENT Mwinyi has directed principal sec-
retaries and heads of parastatal organisations to
enforce. work discipline and improve efficiency in
their institutions. instead of merely complaining

about poor performance. :
He told the executives at the Institute of Finance Manage-
ment (IFM) in Dar es Salaam yesterday that complaining and

- the shifting of blame reflected failure in duty.

The President said the public officers must cut out the flippancy
and apply financial and establishment regulations strictly to improve
the performance of the public sector.

Those who will continue complaining instead of acting will be
regarded as failures and the President will come in handy to help
them retire.

“The whole nation is now complaii

ing about inefficiency, indiscip-

line and poor supervision in the public sector... (board of directors)
chairmen; general managers; doctors; college principals; ministers;
principal ‘secretaries and, sometimes, even the President complain

that all is not well, observed Ndugu Mwin'

The President said he would henceforth expect government and parastatal
executives to invoke the legal powers imposed on them and enforce standing
regulations to achieve the objectives of their respective institutions,

le said civil service regulations were clear on the role of principal sec-
retaries as the chief executives of ministries.

Government Circular Number Four of 1980 outlines the responsibility of
parent ministries and boards of directors in the operations of parastatals, he
added. _o

Ndugu Mwinyi said the Presidential Standing Committee on P:
Organisations (SCOPO) Directive Number 39 of 1978 assigned speci
40 the paren: ministries. boards of directors, general managers and their aisis-
tants. .

There was. therefore. no excuse for government and parastatal executives
to hesitate in executing duty or to operate by fluke.

He said all the good things done by government departments and parastatal
orgnisations would be credited to the executives but stressed that they will be
held responsible for failures and punished for misdeeds.

The President said the public sector had been operating on a laissez-faire
attitude contrary to governing procedures, Some public institutions were
being run like personal property. he pointed out.

Concerning the activities of the economic police in the municipalities, the
director expressed regret that this important agency has branches only in the
capital of the province and in Kaala because of the limited number of
employees. There are only 14 persons on the staff.

This official further explained that in addition to other activities, plans
for this year call for stepping up activities in the rural marketing sector
and strict control of the goods private merchants bring into the province.
The training of investigation technicians to facilitate the work is another of
the goals to be achieved this year, since, this same source said, the economic
police need trained cadres in the investigative sector.

WHITE EDUCATION MINISTER ON PRIVATE SCHOOL SUBSIDIES
MB291645 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1625 GMT 29 Aug 86

[Text] House of Assembly, 29 Aug (SAPA)--Private schools will be eligible
for subsidies as long as the total of pupils of the community for whom the
school was formed was larger than the minorities put together, the minister
of education and culture in the House of Assembly, Mr Piet Clase said today.

"We cannot trust that the school will maintain the character of the
community it serves if the minority of the children are less than the other
groups put together."

Replying to the second reading debate of the Private Schools Bill (House
of Assembly) Mr Clase said the government remained true to the principle
that education was an own affair.

The same principle applied for private schools that fell under the
administrations of the other houses and this view was shared by his
counterparts there.

Mr Dave Dalling (PFP [Pzogressive Federal Party] Sandton) asked whether
there would be regulations governing the racial composition of schools.

Mr Clase said regulations, which would explicitly state that the service
be rendered according to the principles of the constitution. and thereby
preclude any school in which the racial majority did not reflect the
community it served, would follow soon after the bills enactment.

The bill was read a second time with the objections of the CP [Conservative
Party] and HNP [Reformed National Party] being noted.

In the food industry sector, Minister Ismael Martins said, Brazil may
participate in the programs for producing meat, grains and leguminous crops by
providing more advanced technology adapted to tropical conditions.

The Angolan leader also said that PETROBRAS, the Brazilian oil enterprise, is
prepared to expand prospecting in Angola, as well as to participate in
petrochemical and fertilizer production projects based on crude oil.

Brazilian participation in programs for the repair of the machinery and
equipment existing in Angola was also taken up in the meeting with the
Brazilian authorities and businessmen, the minister said. The programs
discussed include the repair of elevators and household appliances.

In order to guarantee the technical-material supply of Angolan enterprises,
the possibility of establishing a Brazilian trade warehouse in Angola was also
discussed. In the long run, Brazil might also participate in the production
of auxiliary and spare parts for local enterprises in Angola.

The Angolan minister of foreign trade explained to the ANGOP that these ideas
discussed during his visit to Brazil are to be analyzed in detail at the next
session of the mixed commission, which will be held in Luanda, and
subsequently converted into specific cooperation programs.

Ismael Martins said that “Angola regards Brazil as one of its most important
partners.”

He said the disregard for financial and establishment regulations had led to
embezzlement of public funds, outright theft and negligence. .

Yesterday's meeting followed a similar forum last Sunday at which the
President called on ministers and regional commissioners to restore discipline
in the government and parastatal sectors.

He told the principal secretaries yesterday that as accounting officers they
would be held responsible for failure by ministries to abide by budgetary ceil-
ings.
He directed relevant authorities to immediately recover 171m/- imprests
which were outstanding in ministries. regions, parastatals and government
departments in 1983.

He said the 11.12] employees to which the iniprests were advanced should -
be sacked if they failed to account for the money. It was unfortunate that the
law did not provide for legal action against such people. “and we have made
no effort to amend the law,” he said.

The President pointed out that one employee at the Capital Development
Authority (CDA). had accumulated imprest of 984.044/- which
was not accounted for'while two others were yet to retire the account of
expenditure for 380.052/60 and 360.881/25. respectively. .

“Imprest is now being used as capital for investment in private projects,” he
observed. .

Ndugu Mwinyi further decried embezzlement of funds in parastatal organi-
sations and the flouting of contract law as well as tendering procedures.

He told'the government and parastatal executives, for example, that one
parastatal hired a Peugeot saloon car for 19 months between 1984 and 1985
and paid a total of 944,994/10. an average of 49,736/50 every month. “Let us
ask ourselves if we could use such a large sum of money as such if it came from
our private accounts,” the President said, :

He said the director-general of a certain parastatal issued.a tender to his
own private company registered under the name of his eight-year-old-child,
for which he paid 4,863, 150/-. ~ “

Ndugu Mwinyi told the executives that clean financial’ performance and
higher efficiency in the public sector were vital for the success of the three-
year economic recovery programme launched this year.

Conclusion

The first state commissioner has also-, by virtue of this inspection tour,
undertaken a far-ranging task of renewal, moralization and law enforcement.

Renewal, meaning that nothing must. ever again be as it was before. The eco-
nomic operator must féel increasingly concerned and aware of his status as
an agent of production. During this period of recovery, he must fully play
his role for an effective new beginning.

There must be mobilization, to the extent that the action of awareness must
be constant and continue relentlessly for-a positive participation of every
individual in the economic and social recovery effort. -In other words, this
observation of deceit must push MOPAP‘to reconcile the useful with the
agreeable by in-depth actions reaching the rank-and-file communities.

Finally, there must be*law enforcement because punishment must be meted out.
If there are Christians on this earth, it-is because they know that Hell
exists, to paraphrase the first state commissioner. The punishments exist
and the prisons exist for the purpose of: correcting those without a civic
spirit, the purpose being to consolidate the achievements of ‘1984 and’ ensure
that we will have a strong and prosperous’ economy.’ ‘ °

Zaire is indeed rich and great, but let us recall the story about the fly
which, once inside the elephant's trunk, can kill it. It is a real challenge
that must lead to a true change in thinking. That is the price of the coun-

try's future.

PARTY WARNS OF INTERNATIONAL DISINFORMATION DANGER
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 7 Aug 86 pp 1, 12

[Text] The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the MPLA-Labor Party
issued a communique in Luanda yesterday concerning the disinformation
campaigns seen in the international press recently concerning the People's
Republic of Angola.

The following is the full text of the communique:

"The winning of independence by the Angolan people under the leadership of the
MPLA and the late president, Dr Antonio Agostinho Neto, on 11 November 1975,
dealt a profound blow to the imperialists, who were seeking by every means to
avoid the establishment of progressive and revolutionary regimes in the

southern part of Africa.

The establishment of the People's Republics of Angola and Mozambique destroyed
the old imperialist dreams of hegemony and eternal domination, since the
independence of these territories which had been the vanguard of colonialism
in Africa, along with opening up new prospects for the liberation struggle of
the oppressed peoples in southern Africa, changed the balance of power in the
region and challenged the resulting monopolization of strategic resources and
economic potential by the industrialized powers of the West.

The clear and definite choice of the path of socialist development by the
Angolan people made the People's Republic of Angola into the main target of
the imperialists, and for this reason it has suffered armed attacks,
infiltration by puppet gangs and mercenary commando units and massive
disinformation campaigns, designed solely to destroy the stability and cause
the downfall of its revolutionary government.

The Second Congress of the MPLA-Labor Party, held in December of 1985,
represented an undeniable triumph for the Angolan people, who are united from
Cabinda to Cunene in support of the ideal of building a socialist fatherland.

The success which crowned the holding of this event served to undo the last
illusions nurtured by the mentors of counterrevolution, who hoped to see
serious splits develop within the party during this gathering. They then
gained an even sharper awareness of the need to add a new dimension to the



barred from talking to the school principal. A police spokesman at the
Lamontville police station said it was an order from authorities that
reporters should not be allowed inside the school premises. Mr Buys declined
to expand on the recent statement issued by DET that the department was
planning to close some schools because no effective education was taking
place there. Meanwhile a stay-away by pupils at senior schools in Kwamashu
entered its second day today. The stay-away began yesterday in protest
against the execution of three African National Congress members. [Text]

Development: Internal Problem

All nations in the world achieved development thanks to discipline imposed
domestically. They understood that development is above all a national af-
fair in which every individual must contribute to the national development

effort.

Regarding its institutions, the government relies on-its own resources, mean-
ing its budget, in order to carry out its program and executing development
plans. Particular stress is placed on the sense of civic spirit and self-
sacrifice. The people approve of the government's directives through their

support of the action programmed by it.

In this specific case, illegal commerce is a form of disapproval and prevents
the Executive Council from having the means for its policies. Using what
money can the president order the construction of hospitals or schools? With
what money can the president and founder of the MPR instruct the Executive
Council to improve the roads, means of communication and telecommunications,
and provide safe drinking water in rural: areas when the economic operator does
not pay his taxes and when the civil servant misappropriates public funds?
How is the Executive Council to provide its share to enable the Kiliba Sugar
Mill to carry out its projects? Now that it is a matter of repaying that
enterprise's loans and if the Executive Council should assume the risks , would
it be capable of doing so if the treasury should be in difficulty? SODIMIZA
[Industrial Development and Mining Company of Zaire], which is a productive
enterprise, needs major financing to stimulate its activities with the dis-
covery of new ore deposits. Could it rely on the Executive Council? Regard-
ing the 5-year plan, the 1985 package. amounts. to some 261 billion zaires,
or $5 billion at a rate of $1 billion a year. When the underminers of our
economy seek to destroy the state, what will become of it?

This pronounced emphasis on getting rich quick cannot serve the community
and enable the superstructure in this period of economic revival to rely on
certain development strategies capable of improving the standard of living of
our people. The government's means, its certain financial resources, are
direct and indirect taxes. Must it be deprived of them?

Lancing the Abcess

It is said that desperate ills call for desperate remedies. No one has the
right to mock a people, a government, for a comprador bourgeoisie. We there
fore agree with the first state commissioner that harsh measures should be
taken with the recalcitrants. Impunity harms the national development effort.
Obliviousness sets in and reduces performance to zero.

How is one to understand that an economic operator opens gold and diamond
counters in Zaire and closes them after a time, invoking fallacious pretexts
so as to reopen them in a country that does not produce such minerals? How
can one allow a party leader who took an oath of loyalty to the president

to serve the republic unconditienally to violate that oath while continuing to
chant party slogans? Can a foreigner operate impudently in a country of law
without being bothered?

NECC SAYS GOVERNMENT CANNOT RESOLVE "CRISIS"
MB120534 Johannesburg SAPA in English 0527 GMT 12 Sep 86

[Text] Johannesburg, 11 Sep (SAPA)--The National Education Crisis Committee
[NECC] said today the government was not in the position to resolve the
present black education crisis on its own and control of black schools
should be handed over to the community.

Mr Vusi Khanyile, a NECC spokesman told a press conference in Johannesburg,
the committee--representative of black parents and students--viewed the
minister of education, Mr Gerrit Viljoen's refusal to negotiate with it
as a "serious snub."

He said the state was incapable of ensuring that black children received
education and the time had come for the government to hand over its control
of black schools to community members who were better able to ensure that
plack children get "education central to our well-being and future."

Mr Khanyile said the government had responded to the situation with
“tough tactics" and reduced the possibility of resolving the present

"endemic" education crisis.

"To close schools will not solve the problem but will only compound the
problem. Closing one school will lead to the closure of many more schools.
Despite Dr Viljoen's snubbing and despite what our members have been
through in the past few months we would still like to discuss the handing
over of schools to the community and that no schools should close in the
country and that no child should go without education, which we regard

as very important."

The Rev Tsele, publicity secretary for the NECC, said that if the administra-
tion of black schools was handed over to them, they would be committed
to a higher standard of education.

He added that they were involved with "people's education" and that the
black community had the right to define what this meant.

MINISTER UPHOLDS EDUCATION ‘BY WHITES TO WHITES'
MB291441 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1437 GMT 29 Aug 86

[Text] House of Assembly, 29 Aug (SAPA)--The government stood by its
"deep basic philosophy" that education should be given "by whites to
whites," the minister of education and culture, Mr Piet Clase, said today.

Replying to debate on the second reading of the National Education Policy

Amendment Bill, he said Mr Pat Rogers (NRP [New Republic Party] King
Williams Town) had urged that if a community wanted a particular form of

education it should be allowed it.
"The question is, who is the community?" said Mr Clase.

Was it the parents of a particular school, or was it the entire town in
which the school was situated.

If only 20 percent of the community of, say, King Williams Town voted for
schools to be open to all races, was that to be taken as a community
decision?

And should parents in a particular year decide what was to happen in future?

"Then we would have to have a referendum every 2 to 3 years," said

Mr Clase.

It was very easy to call for a local option of this nature in education,
but not so easy to implement it.

Referring to the Federal Teachers Council, and to the objection of

Mr Horace van Rensburg (PFP [Progressive Federal Party] Bryanston) that
the body was for whites only, Mr Clase said other races had had the
opportunity to create their own teachers registration bodies but had chose
not to.

This was their right.

HIGHER FOOD YIELD PREDICTED FOR 1986
Accra PEOPLE'S DAILY GRAPHIC in English 5 Aug 86 p 1
[Article by Joe Bradford Nyinah]

[Text] The eight Under-Secretaries for Agriculture in the regions yesterday
met the Secretary for Agriculture, Commodore Steve Obimpeh and gave indica-
tions of a good harvest this year despite the unreliable nature of the
rainfall pattern in certain parts of the country.

Mr Adam Kaleem, Northern Regional Under-Secretary said he expects a good
harvest of yams and rice, at least above the normal production level but
added "I must say emphatically that I am cautiously optimistic because of
the irregular nature of the rains."

However, as he was expressing concern about the nature and distribution of
rainfall he was informed that a radio message from his region indicates that
the highest rainfall in the region was recorded on Thursday.

All the Under-Secretaries have been in Accra since Thursday to participate
in the "Pork Show '86."

Mr Eddie Nettey, who is in charge of Greater Accra announced an expected
shortfall of about 40 percent in maize production in his region but said
the prospects for pepper and cowpeas was very good.

On the fish supply situation in the region, Mr Nettey explained that it is
not abundant on the market because women in the region have caught up with
the coldstore system and are therefore not flooding the market with all
their stock.

He explained further that the "Chorkor Smoker" is being extensively used
to preserve the catch. This, he explained, accounts for the absence of
abundant fish on the market as it used to be in times of bumper catches.

Mr E. Amua Oboh of the Central Region said he had expected 40 percent

increase in maize harvest as compared to last year but the rainfall
results at the end of June has whittled expectations to about 10 percent.

Dr F.P. Jantuah, Principal of the Co-operative College in Kumasi stressed
the need for the NMP to make optimum use of the co-operative concept as an
effective tool to mobilise the people at the grassroots for development.

Mr P.A. Addo, Ashanti Regional Director of the Department of Social Welfare
who chaired the function, called for a collective instead of individualistic
approach to rural development and advised liaison officers to build confi-
dence and faith in the rural people to enable them to transform the rural
communities themselves.

Some 416 students at different levels in the second, third and sixth interme-

End of School Year at Viana Party School

The eighth year of political, cultural and ideological training, which lasted
for one year at the Luanda Party Provincial School located in Viana, also con-
cluded yesterday with a ceremony chaired by Francisco Vieira Dias, a member of
the Central Committee of the MPLA-Labor Party and second secretary of the
Luanda Provincial Party Committee.

During the course, which ran for one year, students from Luanda, Bengo, Malanje
and Kwanza-Norte received instruction in political disciplines such as philo-
sophy, Marxism-Leninism, political economics, history of the MPLA, and the
theory of scientific communism. Cultural classes included Portuguese, mathema—
tics, biology, physics and world history.

Taught by Cuban and Angolan teachers, the program had an initial enrollment of
94 students, of whom 78 graduated. According to the school principal, there
were seven failures, two of which were due to failure to take final exams, and
the remainder of which were due to poor performance on the part of the stu-
dents. aid

In a message read by the group's representative, the program's importance was
pointed out in connection with the need to strengthen the Party's cadres in
the area of better explaining the revolution's advances to the masses. “Study
as a way to improve our culture level is one of socialism's requirements," the
students pointed out in the document read on this occasion.

Jose Chivala, principal of the Luanda Party Provincial School, pointed out suc—
cesses achieved during the program and also listed some of the difficulties
which the party school is facing, such as the lack of certain technical facili-
ties which would make our teaching system more effective.

In his speech at the closing ceremony, Francisco Vieira Dias expressed his
pleasure with the results obtained this year since, as he said, "it was cha-
racterized by a higher level of internal organization, greater support by
vocational institutions and greater sensitivity and support by local govern-
ment agencies."

“The task of reforming the school's infrastructure should be a real short-term
concern in order to increase student enrollment and realize more effectively
directives issued at the Second Congress of the MPLA-Labor Party, where the
fundamental objective of your effort, i.e., the ideological task, is to make
Marxism-Leninism a guide, a lantern for thought and practical action on the
part of every citizen," said the official.

This member of the Central Committee said the school's evaluation system was
positive. It made it possible to remove students promptly for poor scholastic
performance, prolonged absences from classes or deficient political understand-
ing, which shows the level of control exercised by the teachers."

FOREIGN MINISTER INTERVIEWED ON NATION'S POLICY OPTIONS
Brussels NORD-SUD in French Jul-Aug 86 pp 11-13
[Interview conducted by Sylviane Cannio]

[Text ] At the conclusion of the UNGeneral Assembly called to con-
sider the economic situation in Africa, William Eteki Mboumoua, Ca-
meroon's foreign affairs minister, spelled out the options open

to Cameroon in the international arena.

NORD-SUD: Mr Minister, just what can this special UN General As-
sembly on the African economic situation do for a country like Ca-
meroon?

Mboumoua: You know, I think that there are at least two sets of
interests at. issue in this meeting. .The first is ours, as Afri-
cans, because it has forced us to order our thinking on the major
problems facing the African economy. That, in and of itself, is
no minor undertaking: we have at last defined our approaches and
our priorities, and even weighed and measured what we can do over
a given period of time. I am alluding to the 1986-1990 recovery
program. Working from these priority analyses, each State must
make up its mind about what it must do.

The other interest, as we see it, is topersuade the international
community to face up to its obligations. We do not ask others to
do everything for us: our document says quite clearly that part
of the responsibility is ours, but we live in a context of inter-
dependence, and several factors are particularly unfavorable and
they are not of our making: monetary problems, fluctuating ex-
change rates, and unpredictable variations in the price of raw ma-
terials. None of this is attributable to anything we have done,
and therefore should evoke some interest on the part of the inter-
national community and among the industrial nations which are in-
deed responsible for quite a lot of things.

NORD-SUD: What, specifically, bothers Cameroon?
Mboumoua: Cameroon produces cacao, cotton, coffee, and timber.
The decline in the monetary value of these products is dangerously

and very seriously affecting the country's economy, sapping the mo-
rale of our peasant farmers, and adversely affecting our budget.

Insofar as political initiatives are concerned, here again, we side
with the OAU. We have allowed the President of Congo to establish
an agency for national research and reconciliation , and we are
prodding the Chadiens to do likewise. We are working closely with
President Sassou Nguesso and President Bongo to help the Chadiens
back onto their feet. Nevertheless, reconciliation with the Cha-
diens is not an easy matter, because—let's face it—Libyan claims
on Chad dangerously complicate the peace process. And so, with no
wish to take spectacular initiatives, we are involved in working in
depth at the level of Chad's current leaders and we are supporting
the other process at the OAU level. The time may come when Cameroon
is forced to do something else. I do not see—for the moment—that
we can do anything else, but, if the situation demands it, we shall

shoulder our responsibilities.

NORD-SUD: Following Ivory Coast's example, would this not be the
propitious time to renew your relations ith Israel? In the settle-
ment of the Middle East conflict , would it not be helpful to esta-
blish good communications with Israel, specifically in order to
reach a better settlement for several problems, including the
Palestinian problem?

Mboumoua: I find no incompatibility between the stubborn defense po-
sition we have taken on the Palestinians' problems and whatever co-
operation we may achieve with Israel.

Relations among States can thrive perfectly well without embassies.
Conversations can take place. The doors are not closed. Hence,
all initiatives tending toward a solution to the Palestinian prob-
lem, including what we are doing in the OAU, as well as in the in-
ternational community, lead us to believe that we are staying on
top of the problem. As to whether or not there are other initia-
tives that might be taken outside of special relations with Israel,
I don't believe that would be absolutely indispensable.

FRAUD, SMUGGLING SAID TO IMPEDE ECONOMY
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 27 Aug 86 p 2
[Article by Monsa Iyaka Duku]

[Text] We continue the publication of commentaries by our contributor on
the first phase of the inspection tour of the first state commissioner for
the regions, specifically, the harmful effect of fraud and smuggling on the
evolution of our country's economy.

Complicity and Ingratitude

The sore spot is the complicity enjoyed by these so-called merchants, whether
it be from an element of the local population or officials in the public
departments. There are those who are no longer clean. The ordinary citizen
accommodates the dishonest operator: the civil servant validates falsified
documents or quite simply closes his eyes to flagrant cases so as not to

see them.

In Shaba, cobalt does not leave the plant without an internal contribution.
Automobiles fraudulently imported are registered without a proper preliminary
inspection. Or license plates come from Kinshasa to foil the vigilance of
regional authorities.

In Upper Zaire, certain elements of the public agencies allegedly escort
large convoys of poachers who kill elephants for their ivory tusks. If we
are to believe our sources, certain lukewarm party cadres reportedly give
their blessings to such actions that devastate our economy. The seriousness
of the problem is indicated by the fact that fear of the police, said to be
the beginning of wisdom, no longer exists. Exchange values have become
virtues.

The trouble begins when foreigners residing in our country take advantage of
our hospitality to ruin our economy. .Using incredible maneuvers, some of them
contract marriages of convenience in order to be in a better position for
their illegal smuggling activities, becoming "more Catholic than the Pope."
We have already referred to the traffic in influence that is common currency
in the Kivu region. These are demobilizing attitudes characterized by the
lack of patriotism and commercial banditry.

successfully facing up once again to the critical economic situation
prevailing in our country. He went on to say that despite everything, the
Political Bureau has recommended that the people be guaranteed essential
supplies was recommended by the Political and it has ordered, among other
things, that an increasing number of greenbelts be created around the cities,
that rural marketing be improved, and that the New Supply System be rigorously
implemented.

Worthy Participation by the People

However, despite the difficulties experienced in the province of Kuando
Kubango on all levels, rather active participation by the people in Menongue
was visible yesterday.

By means of both political and cultural exhibits, the local population
enthusiastically converted the ceremonies into a real demonstration of
dedication to peace and tranquillity.

The meeting was attended by the alternate and active members of the Central
Committee of the MPLA-Labor Party, Simao Pedro Chihinga and Maj Mateus Pedro
Angelo, respectively, in addition to the provincial commissar and first
secretary of the provincial.. committee of the party, Manuel Francisco Tuta
(Battle of Angola), a member of its CC.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT FUND TO BE SET UP

Accra PEOPLE'S DAILY GRAPHIC in English 6 Aug 86 p 1
[Article by Kwaku Nehemia]

[Text] The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development is working
out a programme under which a percentage of the national budget will be set
aside to establish a fund to help finance development projects initiated
by the rural communities themselves.

The proposal is to be submitted by the Ministry to the PNDC for consider-
ation.

This was announced by Mr Kofi Acquaah-Harrison, Secretary for Local Govern-
ment and Rural Development at the second national delegates conference of
regional Liaison Officers of the National Mobilisation Programme (NMP) in
Kumasi yesterday.

He said the setting up of the fund has become necessary in view of the fact
that a number of development projects initiated by the people themselves have
had to be abandoned for lack of adequate funds.

With the establishment of the fund, the Secretary said substantial amounts
will be given to rural communities which have been able to raise funds
themselves to undertake development projects.

He advised the regional liaison officers to fashion out strategies and
draw up programmes aimed at tapping the latent talents of the rural people
to speed up the transformation process.

He stated that liaison officers of the NMP by the nature of their work should
always be in close contact with the people at the grassroots, educate and
involve them in the effective implementation of government policies and
programmes.

Mr Acquaah-Harrison disclosed that the ministry is considering placing the
Department of Rural Housing under the Ministry of Works and Housing and
advised the liaison officers to make serious efforts to provide decent
houses for the rural people.

PRESIDENT OFFERS DAR ES SALAAM PORT TO FRONTLINERS FOR SANCTIONS

Addis Ababa, Wednesday.
‘TANZANIA has offered to put
the port of Dar es Salaam at
the disposal . of landlocked
Frontline states if they apply
sanctions against racist Sout

The offer was announced
here today by President Ali
Hassan Mwinyi in an interview

Ndugu Mwinyi said Tanzania
would put the port of Dar es

he said. ~

He said since there was a
consensus among African
countries over the necessity to
impose comprehensive and

what was now required was for
every African country to put the
resolve in practical terms. .

Asked whether sanctions

South Africa, President Mvvinyi

SUCCESS OF HUAMBO ECONOMIC POLICE ACTIVITIES REPORTED

Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 5 Aug 86 p 3

[Text] Since the first quarter of 1983, the province of Huambo has had a
section of the economic police, which, as is generally known, is the agency
responsible for the inspection and checking of all economic branches in the

country.

In a statement made by the head of that office, Julio Salussinga, he explained
that “inspections are made at enterprises, while checks are made at the most
visible locations (such as markets), as well as the smallest. Accounting,
distribution and fulfillment of plans by the enterprises are covered. There
is also a sector within the agency which is little known, and which
investigates the source of products appearing on the markets at exorbitant
prices, as well as illegal trade and the target sectors of criminal activity."

Julio Salussinga also explained the norms used by the economic police in
pursuing certain processes. "When the investigation of a case is completed,”
he said, "it is referred, depending on its seriousness, to the court, which
analyzes it and subsequently penalizes the violators.” The product involved
is returned to its source. In other words, if it came from a factory, it goes
back there, and if it was diverted from the domestic trade network, it is also
returned.”

Concerning the number of violations in the province, the director of the
economic police said that "the level is rather high, based on the number of
persons arrested, the majority of whom are domestic trade workers.” Last year
this agency seized about 80,000 kilograms of products at crime sites (markets
and premises where criminal activities occur), with the value of the goods
being estimated at 329,500 kwanzas. Moreover, the fines imposed for simple
crimes brought in 143,325 kwanzas, which the courts ordered returned to the

general state budget.

The policy regarding the black market is to use every means available to
combat and eliminate it. The main problem is that the origin of the products
is not known. Julio Salussinga said: "We will work jointly with the communal
commissariats and the People's Vigilance Brigades to increase the awareness of
the people in this connection."

NEWSPAPER PROPRIETOR FINED FOR ‘FALSE' REPORTS
4B292155 Monrovia Radio ELWA in English 1710 GMT 29 Aug 86

[Text] The proprietor of the STANDARD newspaper has been fined $1,000 by
the Ministry of Information for publishing false and misleading reports
based on rumors in a front page article captioned: Is Kpoleh Dead in Jail?
The STANDARD newspaper, in its yesterday edition, quoted rumors circulating
in Monrovia and parts suggesting that Mr Kpoleh, standard-bearer of the
Liberia Unification Party, LUP, who is presently in detention at Camp Belle
Yeallah is dead. Information Minister S. Momolu Getaweh, yesterday said
the fine was to be paid into government revenue by noon on Monday,

1 September 1986 and a [word indistinct] receipt exhibited to the minister.
He said if the STANDARD newspaper did not pay the fine on the deadline, it
would be banned until payment is made.

Meanwhile, the proprietor of the STANDARD newspaper, Counselor (Che Chipoh),
has said that Ministry of Information has no legal right to impose an
excessive fine on any news agency in this country without any due process.
Speaking to reporters in Monrovia today, Counselor (Che Chipoh) noted we
are taxpayers and citizens who own this country. We have not sold this
country to any particular group of people for them to run it like their
farm. Counselor (Chipoh) said if he had done anything wrong he should have
been given due process of law and that the fine imposed on his paper was
illegal. He said, therefore, his paper will not pay the fine.

Counselor (Chipoh) explained further that, in fact, he had attempted to
pay the fine out of courtesy but the board of directors of the STANDARD
newspaper had instructed him not to do so. The board, according to

Mr (Chipoh), said the corporation will not pay any fine because it will
set a bad precedent for other media institutions in the journalism
profession. Counselor (Chipoh) stressed that in the situation, it is
only the court that can punish a man for any criminal offense.

According to Mr Portuphy, as the communal spirit catches up with the masses
there is the need to identify and give prominence to priority projects as
they all compete in demand for scarce construction materials available.

The NMC, he said, has identified Mobisquads as the embodiment of rural
development since they have helped to arrest the rural-urban population
drift by organising the people to engage in community improvement projects.

JMPLA YOUTH GRADUATE TO PARTY MEMBERSHIP
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 13 Jul 86 p 3

[Text] CAXITO--Manuel Antonio Prata, first provincial secretary, told ANGOP
that ninety former JMPLA youth graduated into the ranks of the Party between
1983 and 1986.

Prata said that Bengo Province has 1,437 party members, of whom 874 are men
and 563 are women, organized into 138 provincial cells performing services in
various areas.

The JMPLA first secretary, speaking of the youths' contribution to production,
said that the organization he directs has contributed to the mobilization of
its members, which has greatly facilitated increased production and producti-
vity.

In order to take advantage of free time, scheduling and implementation of
plans during student holidays are envisioned in the area of volunteer labor,
recreational and cultural activities, meetings, plans for the masses and the
coffee harvest. The province is already benefiting from four (4) camps, of
which one (1) is nation-wide, two (2) are interprovincial, and the others are
inter-city at territorial coffee enterprises.

In political and ideological education, Prata said the youth organization's
participation was to be expected granted after workshops on political and
ideological training of its cadres and members in general.

Asked to say a few words on the provincial meeting of the Intermediate School
Students' Association (AAEM), he said that a reorganization effort will be
carried out in second- and third-level schools where review meetings had been
held and organizations had already been started in the various grade levels.
School meetings in Dande and Kibaxe have already elected their delegates and
nominees for the congress and national council.

Other activities, such as youth trips to Lunda-Sul, Benguela and Cunene pro-
vinces, as well as a commitment to the long-term vaccination campaign for
measles, poliomyelitis, tetanus and sleeping sickness also deserve assistance
from party youth at the Bengo provincial level, Prata concluded.

The head of the Transportmaschinen office in Angola further explained that the
Ernst Thalmann factory, working through the enterprise he represents, is
assembling the Simson $51B2 model in Angola, There is no contract with
Fabimor for the assembly of two other types of the same brand, although
Scharfe said that one of these is recommended for the rural sector.

To complete the formalization of this contract, Transportmaschinen is
expecting Fabimor to make a formal request at any time now to start the
immediate assembly in Angola of the Simson S51E and S70C models as well.

In the meantime, 10 Angolan workers have been trained in the FRG in
assembling the Simson $51B2 model, and they are now turning out a daily
average of 40 of these units.

A number of German technicians are also assisting in the assembly of
motorcycles, while on the other hand, plans call for the training of five more
Angolan technicians in the FRG in 1987, Scharfe said.

In conclusion, the chief engineer of Transportmaschinen Export-Import
announced that his enterprise will participate, as in previous years, in the
next Luanda International Fair, scheduled for next November, and will display
"a real novelty,” the MZ-250 motorcycle, which is very popular on the European
continent.

MINERAL RESOURCES LAWS PUBLISHED

Accra PEOPLE'S DAILY GRAPHIC in English 4 Aug 86 pp 1, 9

[Text] The Government has published two important legislations for the
control and efficient management of the country's vast mineral resources.

One of them, the Minerals and Mining Law, 1986, modifies eight existing
Enactments relating to the country's mineral resources.

The other law--the Minerals Commission Law, 1986--shall, among other things,
formulate recommendations of national policy on the exploration for and
exploitation of mineral resources with special reference to establishing
national priorities having due regard to the national economy.

The Minerals and Mining Law says all minerals in their natural state in
Ghana shall be the property of the Republic of Ghana and shall be vested
in the PNDC for and on behalf of the people of Ghana.

According to the Law, where any land is required to secure the development
of utilisation of a mineral resource, the PNDC may acquire the land or
authorise its occupation and use under any existing applicable enactment.

The government shall have the right of pre-emption of all minerals raised,
won or obtained in Ghana and from any area covered by territorial waters,
exclusive economic zone, or the continental shelf and of products derived
from the refining or treatment of such minerals.

Furthermore, the government may by an Executive Instrument appoint any
statutory corporation to act as its agent for the exercise of the right of
pre-emption conferred by this Law.

Any person who obstructs the government or its agent from exercising its
right of pre-emption in respect of any minerals or products under this

law commits an offence and shall be liable to fine not exceeding ¢500,000 or
to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both.

The Law made it clear that except as otherwise provided in its provisions or
any other Enactment, no person shall export, sell or otherwise dispose of any
mineral unless he holds a licence granted by the Secretary responsible for
Lands and Natural Resources.

CUBAN INTERNATIONALIST LEADER DESCRIBES WORK IN NAMIBE

Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 24 Jul 86 p 12

[Text] The provincial party officials in Namibe assign great value to the
contribution made by Cuban internationalists in various sectors of economic
and social activity, the head of the Cuban civilian mission in this province,
Luis Antonio Valerimo, said.

In an interview granted to the ANGOP in this city, Luis Antonio said that 53
Cuban internationalists are working in this province in the education, health
and domestic trade sectors. Their experience has made a crucial contribution
to overcoming the innumerable difficulties still being encountered in these

areas.

Recently, members of a group of Cuban internationalists in the Che Guevara and
Frank Pais Brigades who have been working in basic and secondary education for
2 years, were awarded Internationalist Worker Medals because of the great
spirit of sacrifice evidenced in the performance of their duties.

According to Luis Antonio, a medical brigade of eight experts has been
assigned to this province. They are working at the central hospital and their
contribution to the training of Angolan health personnel is satisfactory.

He further stated that the Cuban medical brigade is planning to collaborate
with doctors of other nationalities in medical inspections of various
neighborhoods on the periphery of this city on weekends and holidays, in an
experiment which may eventually be extended to other parts of the province of
Namibe.

Luis Antonio said in conclusion that all of the Cubans who have visited this
province have been unanimous in terming the support of the party and
government structures satisfactory, as is moreover the case in all parts of
the country. This has led the internationalists to dedicate themselves still
further to their tasks.

If it was health services, why did people burn down clinics, the minister
asked.

"It is clear that we are not dealing with.a spontaneous revolt, and
dissatisfaction with poor conditions, because the comrades actions against
law-abiding citizens who want to lead a normal life have no relation to
the reasons dished up so readily.

"We are dealing with an attempted revolution," Mr Heunis said.

Referring to the 22,000 housing shortage mentioned by Mrs Suzman, he said
there were 23,000 plots sold and ready for development unless the comrades
disrupting construction work as they had already done in other places.

On the claim that the threat of evictions for non-payment of rent had been
a cause of last week's violence, he said only seven defaulters had been

evicted so far by the Soweto Council, which was operating under very trying
circumstances.

Mr Heunis said that in March, 79,6 percent of the total rentals had been
collected, with the figure dropping’ to 83.1 [number as received] percent
in April and 65.3 percent in May.

In June, "and take note of this month," only 6.1 percent of the total rent
had been collected.

It was clear from these figures the council was not heartlessly throwing
every renter out of his house for every minor infringement.

Also, defaulters were given 5 to 6 weeks notice of an impending eviction
and requested to make arrangements for the payment of their rents.

The comrades and certain other radical organisations had openly announced
a boycott of rent and services fees at.the start of June and demanded
that the council resign before the end of September.

It was known that people who wanted. to pay their rents were threatened
with physical violence, and even death.

"It is not surprising that the amount collected in June dropped to only
6 percent," Mr Heunis said.

Referring to the deaths last week, he said notices of rental arrears had
been served on renters in Jabavu, a Soweto suburb, on 25 August. No
mention of eviction had been made and the defaulters were encouraged to
make arrangements to pay the arrears.

"During the day radicals spread rumors that the SA police and mmicipal
police were going to summarily evict these people.

GIFT FROM SOVIET WOMEN--A donation of 280 kilograms of medicines and books was
presented by the Soviet Womens' Committee yesterday to the national committee
of the Organization of Angolan Women (OMA) in a gesture of solidarity in
connection with the Sixth Panafrican Womens' Congress to be held this
September in Luanda. This gift was presented by the privy counselor at the
USSR diplomatic mission in Angola, Valdimir Kolmakon. It consisted of
aspirin, neomycin, tetracycline, sulfaguanidine, analgens, chloramphenicol,
multivitamins, gases and books on Soviet women and others of a general
cultural nature. On this occasion, Kolmakon said that the Sixth Congress will
be an event of overwhelming importance not only to the lives of Angolan women
and African women in general, but also those throughout the world. Referring
to events in the southern part of the African continent, Kolmakon urged the
immediate imposition of sanctions against the vile regime in South Africa. He
described the relations between Angola and the USSR as excellent. The
secretary of the National Administration and Finance Committee, Maria dos
Anjos, then expressed the thanks of the regional committee of the OPM for
southern Africa and the national committee of the OMA for this gesture, an
evidence of the sympathy and friendship Soviet women feel for the women of

HUILA CATTLE FIGURES--Lubango--About 1,400,000 head of cattle are currently to
be found in the province of Huila, according to the statistics of the
prophylactic animal health sector. An official source said that it has not
yet been possible to achieve total animal health coverage for the entire herd,
although an increase in coverage figures was seen between 1984 and 1985, In
1984, the vaccination campaign covered 20 percent of the animals, and in 1985,
34 percent of the animals were vaccinated. Livestock activity in this
province has been limited to the small-animal categories in the state sector
and prophylactic treatment of cattle owned by the peasant shepherds and other
private owners. Again in 1985, cattle-~beef for slaughter to be sold for
food--accounted for 17 percent of the cattle vaccinated. The low vaccination
rate, this source said, is due to the shortage of material and human resources
in this sector in the past 2 years, in addition to the political-military
situation existing within some municipalities. Concerning the marketing of
cattle, the reasons given for failure to fulfill the plan were the lack of
goods of first necessity and of securities for use as counterparts for the
peasant shepherds by the marketing structures. [Text] [Luanda JORNAL DE

Mr Botha said Mr Gastrow should learn not to base his point of view on

The fact was that the SADF had its own machinery to deal with people who

GOVERNMENT BODIES RECLAIM COCOA FARM ACREAGE
Accra PEOPLE'S DAILY GRAPHIC in English 5 Aug 86 p 1
[Article by Boniface Ablekpe]

[Text] The National Mobilisation Programme (NMP) and the Cocoa Services
Division (CSD) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) were able to reclaim
46,800 hectares of cocoa farms by the close of the first phase of the
Economic Recovery Programme (ERP).

They were also able through the Mobisquads to increase production of non-
traditional crops and encouraged the people to engage in self-help develop-
ment projects. Apart from this, the NMP received and settled 1.2 million
Ghanaian returnees.

Mr Kofi Portuphy, acting Chairman of the National Mobilisation Committee
(NMC) announced this at the second national delegates conference of the NMP
in Kamusi yesterday.

He said under the second phase of the ERP cadres should strive hard to help
the masses by providing them with a new conscience, new awareness and
cultural identity to enable them to appreciate the fact that they can achieve
things hitherto considered impossible.

He stressed the need for equitable and improved input distribution to
farmers as well as opening of more local and external markets for the sale
of farm produce.

Mr Portuphy said as the revolution matures and gets consolidated, the national
effort must be directed towards satisfying the demands of the people in
terms of food, clothing and shelter.

He announced that concrete agreements have been arrived at with the Ministry
of Works and Housing to train educators in brick technology at Adenta near
Accra.

These educators will after the training go back to the districts to supervise

PIK BOTHA VIEWS SANCTIONS EFFECTS WITH JAPANESE MINISTER
MB041109 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1103 GMT 4 Sep 86

[Text] Cape Town, 4 Sep (SAPA)--Six of the 26 countries on the United
Nations emergency food aid list had economies that were strongly linked
with and dependent on South Africa's economy, the foreign minister,

Mr Pik Botha, said today.

According to a press statement containing points raised in Tokyo. today
by Mr Botha during talks with the Japanese foreign minister, Mr Tadashi
Kuranari, he said it was noteworthy that the six countries were also
members of the Commonwealth which was at the forefront of the economic
sanctions campaign.

Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zaire, Zambia and their neighbors
would pay the price together with South Africa of sanctions.

People in distant countries whose livelihoods depended on doing trade
within the southern African region would suffer.

Thousands of white unemployed workers in Western countries would find work
at the expense of thousands of black South Africans and their families
who will be exposed to starvation.

Mr Botha, who is on a private working visit in Japan, said the advocates
of sanctions were in pursuance of a cunning political. objective.

It was fallacious to believe South Africa would change because of the
pressure of sanctions. The. government had already proved it had changed
of its own accord.

The government was responsive to domestic needs and conscious of right and
wrong.

"The government is committed to a programme of reform. We will not be
pushed. We cannot accept that persons who rule over many of the oppressed
and downtrodden people on this earth should prescribe to us what is right."

It was also a fallacy that economic sanctions were a peaceful instrument
of persuasion.

500 HEAD OF CATTLE PURCHASED BY DISTRIBUTION AGENCY
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 25 Jul 86 p 3

{Text]} Benguela--The National Cattle Products Distributing Company
(DINAPROPE) in Benguela purchased about 1,489 head of goats, cattle and swine
toward the end of the first half of this year, the ANGOP was informed by its
provincial director, Telmo Alexandre.

He said that the volume of livestock purchased during the half of the year
just ended allowed the enterprise to sell about 327,550 kilograms of meat to
the consumer public in the province, representing 47 percent of the half-year
plan.

The cattle purchases by the DINAPROPE during this period with the greatest
impact on the peasant sector included 905 head of cattle and 122 head of
swine, while the number of goats came to about 462.

It should be noted that the domestic trade sector, through the retail
enterprise (EREMISTA), provided the DINAPROPE with about 865 head of cattle,
swine and goats purchased in the course of the rural marketing campaign in the
first half of this year.

The director of the DINAPROPE added that with the establishment of the rate of
exchange with the peasants at 100 percent in various goods, the domestic trade
sector obtains a greater profit than the DINAPROPE, which sells the cattle
against 50 percent payment in cash and 50 percent in kind.

He nonetheless emphasized the contribution made by the EREMISTA and he
explained that competition between the two bodies would be more useful and
economical.

The ANGOP further learned that the marketing is being carried out in two
phases, during the second and third quarters of each year, in which periods
the enterprise production reaches its highest level.

It should be noted that the enterprise employs a total of 293 workers and has
five slaughterhouses and 27 butcher shops, 18 of them private, distributed in
the municipalities of Benguela, Lobito, Baia Farta, Chongoroi and Ganda.

In distributing meat, the DINAPROPE, apart from its sales to the public, also
supplies military, hospitals and student institutions and social
organizations.

All of the Angolan people, united around President Jose Eduardo dos Santos,
must pursue energetic actions in defense of the revolutionary conquests
already won, promptly identifying and denouncing all of those among us who

The Political Bureau of the MPLA-Labor Party reiterates its profound

entire Angolan people in other instances of rejection will also be the best

this campaign of struggle in defense of the territorial integrity of our

offensive being waged in the field of disinformation and psychological
warfare, in order to realize their previously frustrated goals through more
subtle, but more corrosive and effective, means.

As a result, the actions of the imperialists in the ideological sector are
focused on a priority basis on very specific goals, among which we emphasize
the following:

1. To weaken the internal cohesion of the party, to create mistrust and to
create schisms within the top leadership, by describing one group and another
as very different political factions, in order to undermine their ideological
unity.

2. To malign the socialist path of development chosen by the Angolan people
and to discredit the revolutionary government of the People's Republic of
Angola by inflating its errors and problems.

3. To instill doubt in the people about their leaders and governing
officials, seeking thereby to create a chasm between the leadership and the
people.

In fact, the volume of reports which are distorted or written in bad faith
which are daily being directed against the MPLA~-Labor Party, the People's
Republic of Angola, its leaders and achievements from all quarters--radio,
newspapers, television and the news agencies--in innumerable Western countries
and their allies is all too well-known.

In the majority of cases, this is an effort directed and efficiently organized
within the framework of the systematic false propaganda campaigns which
constitute a veritable attack on the sovereignty and independence of the
People's Republic of Angola, based on slander and lies about the Angolan
people, their revolution and government. It is symptomatic that these
campaigns are in most instances directed at specific strata of our people,
such as students, workers, intellectuals, young people, combatants, etc.

The Political Bureau of. the MPLA~Labor Party exhorts all the members of the
base organizations of the party and party youth to exercise the greatest
vigilance, and appeals to all of the people generally to strengthen their
ideological and revolutionary convictions, combating rumors and taking into
proper account the profoundly anti-Angolan and reactionary nature of these
agencies and newspapers, periodicals and other publications of this sort, for
example a certain AFRICA CONFIDENCIAL, which is published in Portugal.

All of the members of the party, party youth, the combatants, intellectuals
and students, the workers in general within the framework of the mass and
social organizations and our defense, security and internal order bodies, must
assume an active combat position against the ideological aggression of which
our people are the victims.

All of the people must remain on a permanent state of alert concerning the
reactionary nature of these publications and must block their entry and

[Text] Namibe--A grandiose gathering for explanation of the economic and
financial situation existing in the country as the result of the drop in oil
on the international market was held yesterday in Namibe, with Lt Col
Francisco Magalhaes Paiva (Nvunda), a member of the Political Bureau of the
MPLA-Labor Party and head of the National Political Office of the FAPLA,
presiding.

At this ceremony, which was attended by First Secretary of the Provincial
Party Committee and Namibe Provincial Commissar Fernando Faustino Muteka, as
well as other representatives of the party, the JMPLA-Party Youth, the mass
and social organizations and various provincial bodies, thousands of people
representing the entire population of Namibe were also present. The ceremony
was held in 1 May Square.

The meeting was inaugurated by Faustino Muteka, who after the presentation of
gifts gave a brief summary of the importance of the gathering, which was held
pursuant to a measure approved by the Political Bureau of the MPLA~Labor Party
during a period of considerable reduction in the price of "black gold," one of
the main sources of foreign exchange for the People's Republic of Angola.

This leader took the opportunity to introduce the present members of the
executive board of the provincial and municipal party committees. He urged
them to work steadfastly to carry out the tasks assigned to them, basically
those pertaining to the resolution of the multiple problems which are plaguing
the people.

This highest provincial leader denounced those who devote themselves to
sabotaging the assets of the people and encouraging the black market, thus
hindering the revolutionary process which is under way, and he appealed to
those present for the exercise of greater popular vigilance.

This official began his address to the gathering by thanking the local people

for the warm reception given his delegation, and he emphasized that he was
instructed by the party leadership to pass on its concern, in particular about

HOSPITAL ACCESS PROVIDED BY AGREEMENT WITH CUBA
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 18 Jul 86 pp 1, 12

(Text] Havana--Angola and Cuba signed an agreement pertaining to the health
sector in Havana on Monday. It provides for medical care of Angolan patients
in Cuban hospitals.

Manuel Pedro Pacavira, a member of the Central Committee of the Party and the
Angolan ambassador to Cuba, signed on behalf of Angola, while Dr Jorge Atelo
Perez, first vice minister of public health, signed for Cuba.Under the terms
of the agreement, Cuba undertakes to accept Angolan patients for care in Cuban
hospitals on its territory, except in the psychiatric sector.

Treatment is to extend for 45 days, and in exceptional cases, when on medical
orders or for reasons of treatment the stay must be prolonged, Cuba will act
on the basis of instructions received from Angola through its embassy in
there. Cases regarded as “relatively urgent” will be dealt with in a special
way, with the requirement that the Angolan party submit a specific request in
this connection and dispatch the pertinent medical report.

This agreement, which went into effect as of the date of its signing, calls
for annual aid to 200 patients in groups of 10 during an initial period of 1
year. It will be regarded as automatically renewed for a similar period if
neither of the parties has filed an objection at least 60 days in advance.

During the speeches made by both parties following the signing of the
document, Manual Pedro Pacavira praised the agreement, expressed his thanks to
the Cubans and noted that this change represents “the search for a vigorous
political and ideological tool for the education of our people.”

Atelo Perez, in turn, stressed the decisive capacity of the Angolan
government, “It moves more rapidly than we do,” he said. "Only now are we
seeking specialized care in the socialist countries.

"Previously we went to the capitalist countries, but this costs a great deal
more," he emphasized in conclusion.

DEFENSE MINISTER SPEAKS AT CEREMONY FOR TROOPS
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 9 Jul 86 p 1

[Article by Joaquim Ambriz: "FAPLA Internal Discipline Deserves Party Apprecia-
tion"]

[Text] Yesterday at the official ceremony marking the ninth anniversary of the
Troop Service Department, which reports to the FAPLA general staff and super-
vises the conduct of the Angolan army's fighting men, Defense Minister Col
Pedro Maria Tonha ("Pedale"), member of the Politburo of the Central Committee
of the MPLA-Labor Party, stated that "All armies are subject to rules and regu-
lations that provide necessary order and set forth the rules of conduct for
army officers, sergeants and soldiers in order to carry out their assigned
missions successfully."

The ceremony in honor of the nine years of existence of the ST [Troop Service
Department] took place at the Service's national offices and included demon-
strations of parachuting, karate-do, gymnastics and judo, a parade and a
message from the Ingombota JMPLA-Youth Party Municipal Committee.

The defense minister visited the Troop Service Department offices at length
and pointed out that from the earliest years of the struggle for national
liberation, the issue of internal order and discipline of FAPLA units was one
of the Party's main concerns. "Without order and discipline, actions against
Portuguese colonialism and new victories would not have been possible."

Therefore, FAPLA, tempered during the hard years of struggle against colonial-
ism and imperialistic aggression, has been able to defend the revolutionary
gains of the Angolan people and maintain its readiness to repel new attacks
with commitment and valor," the defense minister said. Continuing, he pointed
out the fact that throughout its nine years of existence, the Troop Service
has made a “positive contribution" and shown a high awareness of responsibi-
lity" in implementing its noble duties. He further pleaded for greater stress
on properly maintaining and caring for arms issued to the fighting men, since
a good part of the country's resources are spent on them and the country is
now trying to reduce costs.

Col Pedale pointed out the attempts which the imperialists are making to ex-
plain their difficulties in Southern Africa and the use of the racist Pretoria
regime and puppet bands as their proxies to mow down defenseless civilians and

{Excerpts] Namibe--The secretary of the Central Committee of the MPLA-Labor
Party for agrarian policy, Santana Andre Pitra (Petroff), visited the province
of Namibe yesterday to study marketing activities in the rural sector in
connection with the needs for the new farm year.

According to Petroff, this visit revealed a need for an increase in livestock
production, as the only way of facing up to the difficult economic and
financial situation the country is experiencing.

This member of the Central Committee of the party will hold further talks with
a wide variety of bodies involved in agriculture and the process of rural
marketing.

Support for Peasants

The National Directorate for Agricultural Cooperativization (DNACA) in this
province has put its faith in the improved organization of the peasant
associations as a way of increasing their production.

In the entire province of Namibe, this office has currently checked on 27
peasant associations and one cooperative with a membership of 1,289 peasants.
They have produced more than 180 tons of various farm products in 1985.

According to its director, Agostinho Ferreira, the DNACA is also checking on a
large number of individual peasants, who sold 2,117 head of cattle, 1,249 hogs
and 10,805 goats to the ENCODIPA and DINAPROPE.

Some of the 27 associations are involved in forest exploitation, and during
this period they cut more than 13,000 tons of firewood and produced 282,595
kilograms of charcoal.

The efforts of the DNACA are currently oriented toward educating the members

in the rational cutting of trees to avoid creating an ecological imbalance in
a province which desert dominates the area.

Firstly, there was the avenue of inquests into the deaths, where the

The magistrate could also decide to hold the inquest in public, and those
interested. could have legal representation.

A second avenue was through the normal legal processes which could be
initiated independently or could result from the findings of the inquests.

unions which involved themselves in dubious political activities, the
minister of manpower, Mr Pietie de Plessis, said today.

Speaking at the opening of the congress of the Iron, Steel and Allied

leant itself to abuse by people who wanted to use trade unions for
political purposes.

It was deplorable that the labour field should be used in this way, but it

that trade unions are taking part in pure politics or are striving towards
dubious (duistere) political goals, sutable steps will be taken to prevent

different race groups was essential for sound labour relations. Contact
between workers of different races occurred on the factory floor more than
anywhere else.

"It is, however, also true that factory floors in South Africa are an
example of cooperation between people of different race groups and mutual
trust and deserve more attention than exists. at present."

TEACHER'S UNION HEAD CRITICIZES BANTU EDUCATION
MB311650 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1523 GMT 31 Aug 86

[Text] Johannesburg, 31 Aug (SAPA)--The government has still to make
amends for the damage apartheid education has done to black people,
Mr Leepile Taunyane, president of the 33,000-strong Transvaal United
African Teachers Association (TUATA), said at the weekend.

He was addressing more than 400 teachers at TUATA's 80th annual conference
held at Malebo High School in the Northwestern Transvaal.

The theme of the conference was "South Africa's Apartheid Education—-
Problems and Solutions."

"The fabric of education has been all but destroyed in many areas and it
is not overstating the case to say that the environment in major parts
of the Transvaal where our schools lie is not conducive to learning,"
Mr Taunyane said in his presidential address.

The roots of his sad situation went back to the foundation of bantu
education and "the authorities have still to come to terms with the deep
hurt and damage we suffered through this betrayal of the true nature of
education and human development," he added.

Dr Gerrit Viljoen, minister of education and training, had come close to
officially repudiating the architect of bantu education, Dr H.F. Verwoerd,
by publicly disassociating himself from the "rotten" foundation of "bantu
education."

"However, Dr Viljoen and his government have yet to move from acknowledging
the grievious fault of apartheid education to making amends for the scars
in our people's minds and hearts," he said.

Mr Taunyane said he aligned himself with the view that there could be no
sound education in South Africa while the country was ethnically or
racially fragmented.

said the decision to close the college is a result of the meeting held
recently by the board of trustees, administration, and faculty as well
as the board of managers of the institute. The board has also suspended
all students at the junior college for the rest of the academic year and
has appointed a committee to study the (2viability) of the college for the
next academic year. According to the release signed by the president of
the Baptist foundation, Reverend Walter D. Richards, all junior college
students would be required to reapply for admittance at Riggs Institute,
if it were reopened next year. Meanwhile, the elementary, junior, and
senior high division of Riggs Institute will reopen Sunday, 7 September,
at 3 pm and all parents are requested to accompany their children to the
campus for a meeting with the faculty, administration, and board of

Later on he explained that "the country does not have funds enough to cover
certain expenditures and implement certain plans drafted on the basis of the
decisions approved at the Second Party Congress. Therefore," he emphasized,
“the government must adjust the plans on the basis of the financial resources
available to us.

“The philosophy of this emergency policy which the party has drafted is based
on adherence to the strictest possible savings and wise management and

rational use of the available financial resources,” Francisco Magalhaes Paiva
said.

The priority assigned to supplying the people with essential goods was
described by Lieutenant Colonel Nvunda as a necessity, as is the strengthening
of defense, the guarantee that the People's Republic of Angola will continue
to exist as a free and sovereign nation.

At the conclusion of his speech, he encouraged the people to increase
production in order to diversify the country's exports, and he wished the new
executive board of the party elected at the Third Provincial Conference
success in carrying out the tasks assigned to them

After the political ceremony, Lieutenant Colonel Nvunda visited the commercial
port of Namibe and the salt pits.

CUBAN COOPERATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION EXPANDING
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 24 Jul 86 p 2

[Article by Osvaldo Goncalves]

[Text] The bonds of cooperation between the People's Republic of Angola and
Cuba, based on a spirit of proletarian internationalism, are strengthening
steadily in all spheres of life.

Unlike what the propaganda machine of the imperialists is trying to make the
world believe, the cooperation between our country and the first free state in
America is not based on strictly military considerations. Our two peoples are
pursuing cooperation in all sectors. It reaches its highest point in the
realms of health, construction, and above all, education.

Noteworthy in this last connection is the valuable contribution being made by
the Cuban professors who, on all educational levels and in every corner of the
country, including the zones on constant alert against the enemy, are passing
on to young Angolan students their knowledge and, above all, their experience
as citizens of a country in which the people have faced up to and triumphed
over imperialism.

In higher education, the 1985-86 academic year just ending provides proof that
major steps have already been taken toward more profound Cuban collaboration
on this educational level in Angola.

As a result of the high level of its contribution, the contingent of Cuban
professors involved in higher education this year (which includes about 60
individuals) has has won the Internationalist Worker Medal awarded by the
Cuban Council of State.

Nine individuals in the group mentioned are full or assistant professors, the
highest ranks in the Cuban higher educational system. These are titles
granted for distinguished pedagogical and technical work by teachers. Five
are also candidates for scientific doctorates.

The Cuban professors have also contributed to the solution of bibliographic
problems through the writing of new teaching materials and have engaged in
joint Angolan-Cuban research projects.

Mboumoua: I think it is a little bit too early to reach an opinion.
Mobutu has launched an idea, but we do not as yet have any notion
as to its content. It is true that there is a shared cultural base
among Black African countries that perhaps enables them to get to-
gether more casually, in the tradition of Black African palavers,
to find solutions for some of their problems. And, structures
apart—the League is already a structure—we might we might enter-
tain the concept of frequent understandings' being reached in that
setting. At present, once the idea has been spelled out, people
may want to set up something like the Arab League or a kind of
Sub-Saharan OAU...I shall keep my response to myself for the moment
«+. because there are already far too many organizations that do
not work. But I can readily understand that one might consider

a framework of specially concerted action at the Black African level,
even though the Black-African dimension continues to elude defini-
tion. How far will it reach? To the Antilles, to Jamaica, into the
United States, to Morocco? All that has yet to be clearly spelled
out.

NORD-SUD: . Could the League be designed in such a: way that it would
not be perceived as a redundant clone’ of the OAU?

Mboumoua: We must avoid redundancy! This is why I keep insisting
that we refrain from imposing rigid structures right off the bat.

NORD-SUD: Do you think Cameroon can play a crucial role in the
search for a solution to such fratricidal conflicts as those in
the Western Sahara and in Chad?

Mboumoua:- Insofar as the Western Sahara is concerned, Cameroon
tends to side, on the whole, with the OAU's position. We are not
playing an isolated or separatist role. We do not cherish that
particular ambition. But we cling now and will continue to cling
to our position within the OAU.

Chad, on the contrary, is a problem that concerns us far more deeply.
Chad is right next door to us. One shot fired in N'Djamena echoes
in Kousseri. And ever since the conflict began, we have been shel-
tering large numbers of refugees. In any case, when you look at

the North or the far Northern portion of Cameroon, Chad becomes
almost a daily problem.

We have filled our humanitarian role in this problem. And we have
accepted the governments that were in fact in power in N'Djamena

as representative. We have dealt with those governme:ts. You must
not forget that Chad is a land-locked country. And if supplies to
that country are not allowed to flow through Nigeria, they must per-
force be allowed to flow through Cameroon. Accordingly, we allow
all the leeway in the world for that traffic, including shipments

of weapons. In so doing, we are shouldering still more responsi-
bility on behalf of this brother country.

OFFICIAL WARNS AGAINST CONTRAVENTION OF GROUP AREAS ACT
MB030911 Johannesburg SAPA in English 0910 GMT 3 Sep 86

[Text] Bloemfontein, 3 Sep (SAPA)--The deputy minister of constitutional
development and planning, Mr Piet Badenhorst, today warned landlords that
he could and would sell their properties if they continue to flagrantly

transgress the Group Areas Act.

Addressing the Orange Free State National Party Congress on two motions
calling for the retention of the Group Areas Act and the rejection of
"prey" areas, he also warned churches not to abuse the act and force him

to sell church properties.

He also warned estate agents that they were playing with fire by selling
houses in contravention of the act.

"People are going. to lose their houses," the deputy minister said.

He admitted that prosecutions under the Group Areas Act had been stopped
and said he could still act administratively against those people who were
flaunting the law.

The decision not to prosecute had been taken as a result of a supreme
court decision--Gladys Governder versus the State--in which the court
ruled that eviction was not an automatic consequence of a conviction under
the act and that this could only follow a separate application in which
factors such as alternative accommodation needed to be considered.

The attorneys general had found it difficult to prove that. alternative
accommodation was available and subsequently pointed out the futility of
prosecutions in terms of the act.

Mr Badenhorst said he had a report on the issue, which would be given to
the government for consideration, and pointed out that steps had been taken
to provide alternative housing, particularly for the Indian population,

as had been done in many urban areas in 1984.

foreign cooperative workers, and to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of the
foreign exchange which is indispensable to the harmonious development of the
country. He said among other things that this is all the result of a petty
bourgeois attitude. "Therefore we must demand and check rigorously on the
implementation of the resolutions of the Second Party Congress," he said.

This leader also noted the need to see to the regular functioning of the base-
level party organizations in the enterprises, above all in connection with
administrative management, so that they will pursue their tasks with greater
efficiency. He emphasized the importance of the role the trade union
commissions play in the enterprises and among the workers, as well as their
increased political awareness and technical-professional training.

Dishonesty in Imports

Kundi Paihama spoke of the continued high rates of interest in the import
sector at some priority enterprises, and he harshly criticized those officials
who, imbued with a petty bourgeois attitude, are profiting from their
positions to achieve personal goals.

“We are certain that the working masses support all of the restrictions
ordered by the party, because they are aware that it is not by means of
transfers or even foreign fairs that the problems we face can be resolved. It
is rather through austerity and assigning priority to that which actually
benefits all of us. The privileges mentioned above favor only a minority made
up for the most part of members of the reactionary petty bourgeoisie.

“However,” Kundi Paihama went on to add, "this same petty bourgeois stratum
prefers to ignore the clear and just measures promulgated by our party,
discrediting it in the eyes of the masses. From this point of view, we need
more than ever to combine theory and practice, in other words to move toward
action, and to face up to and correct the situation together.”

Kundi Paihama discussed the problem of imports in certain priority enterprises
and the irregularities found in import contracts. He denounced the actions of
the directors and officials on various levels who are receiving commissions
thanks to such fraud, most serious when what is involved is the purchase of

products the country does not need.

This member of the Political Bureau of the MPLA-Labor Party urged vigilance
and the approval of the harshest punitive measures for all of those who work
against the Angolan revolution. The meeting was attended by Maj Joao
Lourenco, a member of the Central Committee of the MPLA-Labor Party, the first
secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Benguela's provincial
commissioner, and representatives of the various ministries in the province
and the mass and social organizations,

NATIONAL PARTY SCHOOL ENDS ACADEMIC YEAR
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 13 Jul 86 p 1

[Text] The 1985/1986 school year at the Doutor Agostinho Neto National Party
School was officially concluded yesterday afternoon in a ceremony at the
school led by Candido de Almeida, Central Committee DEPPI director, represent-
ing Roberto de Almeida, member of the Politburo and secretary of the Central
Committee for ideology.

Also in attendance at the ceremony, in addition to other members of the party
directorate and government, were Antonio Jacinto, alternate member of the
Politburo of the Central Committee of the MPLA-Labor Party, Arnold Kalinin,
the Soviet Union's ambassador to the People's Republic of Angola, and members
of the diplomatic corps, as well as Joao Cunha, director of the school, and
students and faculty.

In his speech at the closing ceremony, Candido de Almeida said that the
courses completed are part of the general political, ideological and cultural
improvement educational system for members of the Party designed to enable the
students to interpret social phenomena, thus leading to the proper implementa-
tion of decisions issued by the Party.

Having discussed the school's operations, its capacity and the high level of
teaching skills of the faculty, and having pointed out the development of
study programs relevant to our reality, Candido de Almeida stressed the need
to fulfill the directives issued by the Second Party Congress on the medium-
term conversion of the institution into a higher Party school by the end of
the 1986-1990 five-year period.

Arnold Kalinin, ambassador of the Soviet Union to Angola, gave the school
2,000 books and other didactic material donated to the Central Committee of
the MPLA-Labor Party by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union.

On this occasion, Kalinin made a short speech expressing his desire and con-
viction that these materials will be an important means by which the students
can improve their knowledge of the revolutionary doctrine of Marx, Engels and
Lenin, whose influence has been well-known in contemporary world development.

The most outstanding workers and students of the past school year were also
recognized and awarded honors.

According to him, fish is cheap in Cape Coast because the cold storage
facilities are very far away from the landing base that most of the women
find it difficult to send their fish there.

From the Volta Region, Mr Atsu Ahedor promised a good crop yield whilst
Mr W.K. Nkrumah of the Brong Ahafo Region said he expected a shortfall in
grain production during the major season which could be made up in the

minor season.

Messrs Assibi Nahyi and Imoto Seidi from Ashanti and Upper-West Regions
respectively said there are good rains and saw the prospects of a good
harvest.

As at now there are no Under-Secretaries for Agriculture in the Upper-East
and Western Regions. Commodore Obimpeh however, gave the assurance that
appointment will soon be made for these regions.

He asked the Under-Secretaries to take effective control of agricultural
institutions and organisations and involve them in carrying out effective
agricultural programmes.

Commodore Obimpeh called on them to begin organising farmers fora and
stressed that the universities and research institutions are prepared to
help at such meetings.

One trader said: "You couldn't disguise South African coal in a blend with
coals from Eastern Europe, but if it was sold for the right price on the
basis of no-questions asked, there would be buyers.

"For us, it wouldn't be worth it. Most of the people we deal with have
specifically stated that they do not want South African products. It
would jeopardise our business.

"It's a question of whether you take something on board without asking too
many questions, or whether. you. are doing an honest job and not supplying
South African coal when it's made clear you should not be.

"We would adopt a cautious. approach, and check all stocks to ensure we were
not buying a blend which included South African coal."

A delegation of South African mining executives toured Europe recently in
a bid to persuade EC governments not to back a coal ban. It is not known
if they established contact with Eastern Bloc traders.

Several major British companies in other sectors of commerce have also
reported offers from East European.businessmen to set up a conduit for
British exports to South Africa.

The British Industry Committee on South Africa--a recently formed pressure
group opposing sanctions--has warned Britain's all-party Foreign Affairs
Committee earlier that sanctions will be ineffective because countries in
the Far East and Eastern Europe are willing to open secret trade links
between Britain and South Africa.

MINISTER WARNS OF SOUTH AFRICAN INVASION THREATS
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 8 Aug 86 p 1

[Text] Lubango--Col Pedro Maria Tonha (Pedale), the Angolan minister of
defense and member of the Political Bureau of the CC of the MPLA-Labor Party,
has told the ANGOP in Lubango that it is to be expected that "at any time, the
South African army may launch a new invasion of Angolan territory like what
happened recently at the port of Namibe.”

Colonel "Pedale,” who has been in Lubango since Wednesday on a visit to the
Fifth Military Region, described the military situation in the zone as
reasonable, taking the atmosphere of tension which has existed for some time
and the absence of direct clashes with the troops of the apartheid regime into
account.

He expressed concern about the concentration of South African army troops near
the southern frontier of Angola and the constant air and land incursions by
that racist army.

The minister of defense said that if a new invasion occurs, “our forces will
be able to respond promptly, consistent with their combat capability, because
they have been constantly alert for any development.”

During this visit, the minister of defense, who came to Lubango 5 days ago to
take part in the central ceremony commemorating the 12th anniversary of the
founding of the FAPLA, will analyze issues pertaining to the joint work to be
undertaken with the party and government authorities in the province.

The Fifth Region, which is located on the most advanced line in terms of the
defense of the Angolan territory, is ready to carry out the tasks assigned to
it on the political-military level, as well as combat training, according to
Colonel “Pedale.”

Even if a central registration body was established one day for teachers
of all races it would still be the right of white teachers to retain their
own all-white professional council.

This would not be in conflict with the all-race council.

He also said that while the bill provided for statutory representation on
provincial education councils. for specific bodies representing parents

such as school commissions and control councils, it left an opening on

the councils for other parent groups that were broadly representative enough.

The bill was read.a second time after a division in which the PFP, NRP,
cP [Conservative Party] and. HNP [Reformed National Party] voted against
the NP [National Party].

FABIMOR TO STEP UP MOTORCYCLE PRODUCTION WITH GDR AID
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 31 Jul 86 p 12

[Text] The general direct of the FABIMOR, Eng Rogerio Silva, told the ANGOP
Monday that the enterprise he heads has now signed a contract with
Transportmaschinen in the GDR providing for technical aid and the shipment of
motorcycle kits for Simson brand models 51B, 51 Enduro and 70 Enduro.

Rogerio Silva said that for the present, only the first of these models will
be assembled, and that 800 Simson 51 Enduro motorcycles out of a total of
4,000 which are to reach Angola by the end of the year have already been
shipped. Moreover, another thousand of the 70 Enduro model will also be
received this year. All of these shipments will come from the GDR

Concerning the assembly of bicycles, the director of FABIMOR explained that
bids are still being solicited for the rehabilitation of the installed
capacity with a view to the manufacture of an average of 30,000 bicycles a
year.

Eng Rogerio Silva made a point of stating that FABIMOR has asked for bids from
India, Brazil and Portugal to fulfill this need, and that responses are being
awaited and will be duly studied.

At present, Rogerio Silva said in conclusion, the bicycles assembled at that
unit, about 60 per day, come from India. This number will increase gradually
until October, by which time 150 units per day will be produced until the
total of 22,000 bicycles is reached.

PAC OFFICIAL IN HARARE DISCUSSES STRUGGLE
MB281452 Dakar PANA in English 1429 GMT 28 Aug 86

[Text] Harare, 28 Aug (PANA)-~The Pan-Africanist Congress [PAC] in
South Africa expects from the eighth nonaligned summit due to start in
Harare on Monday, pledges of material assistance for the intensification
of the armed struggle until the demise of apartheid.

In an interview with PANA in Harare on Wednesday, PAC Foreign Affairs
Secretary Goran Ebrahim said that the liberation movement was specifi-
cally going to ask the summit for increased material and diplomatic
assistance because its priority now is to arm the people.

He stressed that the people in South Africa have developed the struggle
from using stones to mixing a good Molotov cocktail, and now to using
small arms.

Mr Ebrahim said that the people in South Africa have rejected the new
constitution, the so-called urban councils and other cosmetic changes.
He added that his people have adopted a PAC policy of non-collaboration
with the racist regime or other institutions.

The PAC official said that in the past 24 months, the people in South~
Africa have set up parallel administrations in the country such as
street and community committees and people's courts.

He further stated that PAC declared 1980 the decade of the Azanian
revolution, adding, today all acknowledge that the day of liberation
is already beginning to dawn.

On the application of sanctions against South Africa, Mr Ebrahim said that
it was an important and concrete manifestation of solidarity with our
struggle.

He said that sanctions constituted a complementary factor to the armed
struggle. Although the PAC supports the measures so far taken, we will
continue to demand for comprehensive mandatory economic sanctions, he
stressed.
