USSR DONATES EQUIPMENT TO YOUTH ORGANIZATION

THE Soviet Young
“Communist Lea-
gue has presented
a duplicating ma-
chine, duplicating
papers, volleyballs
and nets, totalling
about $10,000 to
the National Youth
Organising Com-
mittee (NYOC).
Making the presenta-
tion on behalf of the
League in Accra yester-
day, the second Secre-
tary of the Soviet Em-
bassy, Mr Alex V. Dimi-
triev, expressed the gra-
titude of a delegation of
the League which visit-
ed the country recently
to the government and
people of Ghana for the
hospitality given them.

He described the gifts
as a modest one which
marks the beginning of
a more fruitful co-
operation between the
Soviet youth and their!
Ghanaian counterparts.
The chairman of the
NYOC, Mr Kwasi Adu,

cso: 3400/20

received the items on
behalf of the commis-
sion and thanked the °
government and people
of the USSR for their
kind gesture.

He said since Ghana’s
struggle is a class one, it
looks to all its allies in
similar struggles for
help and encourage-
ment.

Mr Adu said the items
will be fully used by the

‘Commission to promote

the current struggle,
and he asked the PNDC
to stand firm and remo-
ve all civil servants sa-
botaging it from office.

“ A state cannot recon-
cile classes. The PNDC
should therefore stop do-
ing that now. The old
class oppressed the mas-
ses, so if power has been
won by the masses, it
should have its interest
served” he said.

He expressed shock at

12

reports that the PNDC has
invited the IMF for talks
on the economy and said
the December 31 revolu-
tion was supposed to
have brought an end to
the manipulation of the
country’s economy by the
IMF because the history.
of the Fund has clearly
indicated that it has never
helped any country to de-
velop.

Mr Adu said while it has
not been possible to fi-
nish processing a $10
million loan offered by the
Soviet Union for the pur-
chase of industrial equip-
ment, a seven-million
dollar loan for grain pur-
chases from the U.S. has
been quickly signed.

“We recognise that
those officials who are not
making it possible for the
Soviet-Ghana loan agree-
ment to be signed are
enemies of the revolution
and this makes the
people's struggle a more
difficult one” he said.

SIGNIFICANCE OF NEW FRG GOVERNMENT FOR SWA

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 20 Sep 82 pp 1, 3

[Editorial]
[Text]

WHAT will a change
of government in West
Germany mean to the
SWA situation?

The answer is very lit-
tle if anything for the
short. term but could
have considerable
implications for the long
term.

In the short term all
indications are that Free
Democrat leader Mr
Hans-Dietrich Genscher
will remain Foreign
Minister. His’ party
holds the balance of
power and is switching
its support from the
SPD to the CDU.

Mr Genscher, know-
ing full well that. he dif-
fers considerably with
his new CDU allies on
SWA, can be expected to
either evade the issue
and/or allow __ the
Americans to continue
taking the lead.

cso: 3400/12

It is certainly most
unlikely that he would
push a_ well-publicised
and vigorous pro-Swapo
line or again publicly
toast Swapo’s successes
in say Bonn.

In the longer term,
however, the CDU
could be voted into

-power hands down and

the Free Democrats
could then be pushed
completely aside.

The latest polls sug-
gest that the CDU com-
mands 53 percent of
support and the Free
Democrats four percent.

It is anyone’s guess
‘who would emerge as
Foreign Minister under
those circumstances but
the name of Franz-Josef
Strauss certainly cannot
be ruled out.

In fact, he is regarded
as a very likely can-
didate in some quarters.

33

Mr Strauss has made

‘no secret of his leanings

towards the DTA and
Mr Dirk Mudge in par-
ticular and has also
made no. secret of his
reservations about
Swapo as a desirable
and potentially reliable
West German ally.

For one, he believes
that it is far too marxist
in-orientation.

The full impact that
Mr = Strauss . could
therefore make within
the Western Contact
Group and on the SWA
situation per se could be
considerable.

Indeed, it will be most
interesting to see what
unfolds during the next
12 months afd it can
only be for the better of
the moderate parties in
SWA.

Swapo in turn has
much to be concerned
about.

Possibly the’ most significant military event of the month was the setting
up of a regional headquarters in the northern province of Zambezia.

Thus far, Zambezia, the biggest and wealthiest province of Mozambique, had
been kept out of the hostilities.

The Zambezia front opened up with a big bang. More than 1,000 guerillas are
reported to be in action in the Morrumbala area alone.

It was here that the RNM scored one of its biggest hits by capturing six
Bulgarian engineers working for Frelimo under a co-operation agreement
between their country and Mozambique.

FINANCE MINISTER DENIES DEVALUATION REPORTS

Victoria NATION in English 17 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

SEYCHELLES was the only
country in the world to really
contro} its inflation rate this
year, Finance and Industry
Principal Secretary Guy Mo-
rel has said in denying re-
ports that the Seychelles Ru-
pee is to be devalued.

“There is absolutely no rea-
son for devaluing the Rupee.”
Mr. Morel said on Wednesday,
“even if the 15 per cent re-
valuation in March 1981 has
caused some problems as in
export prices.”

He claimed that Sevche'les
was the only country in the
world that had been able to
really control and bring down
its inflation rate during 1982.

“This was the result of a
very courageous decision by
the Seychelles Government as
it was a very serious step to
take,” Mr. Morel said.

cso: 3400/10

The move had since been
justified, he continued, in that
it had reduced the cost of liv-
ing tremendously by bringing
prices tumbling down and
and making imports cheaper.
Correspondingly, there had
been less demand for wage
increase by workers who had
suddenly found they ‘could
afford to live much more com-
fortably.

The Finance Principal Se-
cretary added that had Sey-
chelles not controlled inflation
this year, 1983 would have
been a very “poor” year for
the country, especially when
it would come to “aid nego-
tiations overseas”.

THAI RICE DONATION--The Government of the Kingdom of Thailand is yet another
friendly government to respond to the president's international appeal for
assistance following the July 30 events, One hundred tons of rice have been
donated to the Gambia, the consignment which is reported to arrive soon.
[Text] [Banjul THE WORKER in English 22 Sep 82 p 1]

REEXPORT OF SUBSIDIZED RICE--Government has again made strenuous efforts to
obtain another consignment of rice for local consumption. We underline local
consumption to emphasise the fact that the rice is not meant for re-export,
and that certain unscrupulous middlemen must take cognizance of this fact.
The Gambia's staple is rice. The people systems and eating habits, best diet
all gravitate over rice. Little wonder therefore, when rice is scarce for a
couple of days people run panic and clamour everywhere for the foodstuff.
This ought to convince everyone, certain middlemen included, that to deprive
the people of their basic foodstuff is totally impermissible. Whatever the
price of rice in any neighbouring country, the people there can afford it
considering their earning capacity. There is a genuine reason for government
to subsidize the price of rice. But in the past, and even perhaps of late,

a handful of businessmen made void such subsidy by re-exporting the rice
meant to feed the local population. With greater vigilance, it is hoped
that such a trafficking will halt. [Text] [Banjul THE WORKER in English

they had a lukewarm re-

were hoping for a com-
mon front before the is-
sue is discussed with the

Botha, and the Minister
of Constitutional Devel-

There were also strong
suggestions at the confer-

PW'S GUIDELINES A PHONY DEAL, SAYS SUZMAN

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 29 Sep 82 p 8

[Text]

SUPPORT for the Prime
Minister’s guidelines for
constitutional change
amounted:-to “collabora-
tion in a phony constitu-
tional deal”.

This was said by Mrs
Helen Suzman, MP for
Houghton, at’the launch
of the Progressive Feder-
al Party’s campaign for
the Johannesburg North
“by-election last night.

Mrs. Suzman said the
PEP rejected the propo-
sals because they meant,
in effect, a National Par-

ty-elected Executive
President who could
nominate a Cabinet

“whose members: may or
may not be MPs without
any safeguards and the
exclusion of 70 percent of
the population — the
Blacks.

Support for the propo-
sals would also imply tacit
acceptance of the Gov-
ernment’s basic solution
to the racial problem —
independent homelands
—and the “excision from
the population statistics
of millions of the coun-
try’s citizens,” she said.

POLICE TAKE NAMES--Police took the names and addresses of some white people
sitting in the public gallery of the Cape Town Supreme Court at the trial
of Mr Oscar Mpetha last week, who is appearing with 17 others on charges of
terrorism and murder. A lecturer in economic history at the University of
Cape Town, Mr Martin Nicol, said he was one of several people approached by
a police constable in the public gallery. "Shortly after we entered the
court, a policeman approached us and asked for our names and addresses,"
Mr Nicol said. "He could not give me a reason for the request so I
refused to give him my particulars. Later the trial was adjourned and the
same policeman approached myself and two other persons and asked us to
accompany him to an office." Mr Nicol continued: "He then asked for our

MAJORITY RULE INEVITABLE--White South Africans would "do themselves a
favour" by accepting majority rule as inevitable, the editor of Frontline
magazine, Mr Dennis Beckett, said yesterday. Addressing students at Rand
Afrikaans University, Mr Beckett said Whites should face up to the fact
that they represented a minority group in Africa and that the extension of
democratic rights to other races could not be avoided forever. "It may
take a very long time for change to come to this country, but come it will,"
he said. "The time when we could draw frontiers to protect us has passed.
In the long run there's no chance of a diminishing society holding sway
against a growing majority. We must be clear what we are talking about--
it's Black rule in this country and fooling ourselves by giving small
concessions to Blacks like homelands will not stop it. The National Party
is doing itself a disfavour by creating bogus escape routes from the real
issue. By telling Blacks they can run their own affairs as long as they
don't interfere in ours a continual and growing level of distrust is being
created." Mr Beckett said South African Whites should grant power to the
Blacks in the same way that British monarchs had given authority to the
commoner. While not an easy solution to South Africa's problems, it was
undoubtedly a far safer one than bloody revolution, he said. It was also
the only way to accommodate a "daunting magnitude" of Black expectations
and demands. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 28 Sep 82 p 8]

PARK APARTHEID ROW LOOMS IN PRETORIA
Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 28 Sep 82 p 8
{Article by Keith Abendroth]

[Text] The Pretoria City Council is planning a special meeting early next
month to defuse the powderkeg of the city's escalating parks apartheid
controversy.

The Citizen learnt yesterday the matter would not be discussed at the
normal monthly meeting of the city council on Thursday this week.

Instead it has been decided to hold a special meeting to end the row
which has been building up over the past three years.

It is understood a survey of the 36 city councillors' feelings on whether
Pretoria's parks should once again be closed to non-Whites, is now in the
hands of the city's management committee.

Pretoria's parks were declared "open" to all races during the 1973 South
African Games when there were indications that the Herstigte Nasionale Party
was planning to embarass the city internationally by demanding enforcement
of apartheid in the parks.

The old by-laws ruling that Pretoria's parks were open to Whites only
dated back to the days of British colonial rule.

In late 1979 and 1980, various Rightwing organisations, with the backing
of conservative councillors in the city council, agitated for the original
by-laws to be reintroduced, claiming that Blacks were "taking over the
city's parks."

Now the matter has been brought to a head by the appearance in the new city
council of Herstige Nasionale Party councillors.

The Opposition of six HNP councillors have stated they want a clear ruling
on the issue--with each councillor being called on to make his stand for
or against the issue.

The matter is seen as a particularly thorny one as the majority of the
city's councillors are Federation of Ratepayers Association candidates
officially, but personally representative of either the National or
Conservative Party.

Its operation is such that

the load shedding will not
take place until the time in-

shed, no shedding will take
place until this value either
equals or exceeds the next

NATION APPEALS TO CANADA TO AID TRC REHABILITATION

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 15 Sep 82 p1

. Ottawa, Tuesday.
TANZANIA has appealed to
Canada to assist fully in the
rehabilitation programme of the
Tanzania Railways Corporation
(TRC) services’ in order to
accelerate the realisation of the
Structural Adjustment Pro-
gramme (SAP) objectives in the
transport sector.

The appeal was made yester-
day by the Minister for
Communications and Transport,
Ndugu John Malecela, at the
opening session of a_ joint
nieeting between Tanzania and
Canada on the strengthening of
TRC’s services.

“Indeed the formulation and
adoption of the SAP prepared
under the auspices of the World
Bank, has re-emphasised the
importance of making maximum
use of the railways system not
only as the least cost mode, but
also as a way of reducing
pressure on the over-burdened
and more expensive road
transport system,” the Minister
said.

cso: 3400/19

“It is perhaps appropriate at
this juncture to appeal to our
Canadian friends'that in view of
SAP, we should approach our
discussions with an open mind
and flexibility to allow for
accommodation of other
projects which will assist greatly
In ‘the realisation of SAP
objectives in the transport
sector,” he said.

The fact that SAP has to be
accomplished in a period of three
years dictates that the time scope
for implementing impotent
projects which would facilitate
increased efficiency of the
railways transport in Tanzania
must, as far as possible, confor
with the SAP time schedule, the
Minister said. .

Under a five-year rehabilita-
tion programme of the railways
covering 1982/87. the Canadian
International Development
Agency (CIDA) has committed
over one billion shillings to
finance the programme.

The revitalization of the rail-
ways services will cover critical
areas in telecommunications.

track relaying and ballasting to,
include quarry plants, :
equipment and ballast wagons,
staff housing, overhauling of
locomotives and spares and the
setting up of a concrete steel
sleeper plant.

The programme will also cover
development of human
resources within the framework
of technical assistance.

Ndugu Malecela also thanked
the Canadian Government for
the assistance it gave under
phase one of CIDA’s assistance
which cost about 420 million/-.

Under the phase one CIDA
assistance, Tanzania received 15
locomotives 205 wagons of
various types, 152 miles of rails
for relaying the central line and
the construction of an ultra
modern facility for the
maintenance of locomotives at
Morogoro. which came into
stream early this year. -

Tanzania’s delegation to the
meeting includes the Chairman
of the Board of Directors of
TRC, Ndugu Henry Limihagati,
TRC General Manager Tom
Mmari, the Assistant General

ZAPU MEN CALL FOR MORE UNITY AMONG PEOPLE

Harare THE HERALD in English 20 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

: BULAWAYO.
‘THREE top ZAPU leaders
yesterday called for more
unity among the people of
Zimbabwe in order to
remove what they called
“the dark cloud hovering
over the country”.

The three — Cde Josiah
Chinamano, ZAPU vice-
president; Cde Stephen
Nkomo, a member of cen-
tral committee and MP
for Matabeleland South,
and Cde Thenjiwe Lesabe,
also a member of central
committee and MP for
Matabeleland North, were
addressing a ZAPU rally
at the White City Stad-
ium. ;

Cde Chinamano said
peace in the country could
only come about with the
unity of all people in the
nation. .

“We want to see a Zim-
babwe that is better than
Rhodesia or Zimbabwe-
Rhodesia,” he said.

Cde Chinamano said
there was division among
the people because the
major parties that staged
the Jiberation struggle
had decided to go in dif-
ferent directions,

“But why is this so?”

CSO: 3400/8

he asked, when all the
people who had died while
liberating the country had
done so united. “Right
now they should be curs-
ing us in thelr graves for
they did not want this to
happen.”

In an apparent reference
to the dissident problem in
Matabeleland, he said the
only solution was a dia-
logue between ZANU
(PF) and ZAPU.

He appealed to the
people of Matabeleland to
support the development
programmes being under-
taken by the Government
in their respective areas.

‘These projects were for
their benefit and sup-
ported by public funds.

Cde ‘Chinamano ap-
pealed to ministers,to ad-
dress “national rallies” as
one way of bringing about
unity.

Cde Stephen Nkomo
said there was only one
Government in the coun-
try. ZAPU accepted that
this Government was

_chosen by the people. “But

this Government showld
work in direct consulta-
tion. with the people.”

Wf anything went wrong,

68

the Government should
ask the people what was
wrong.

Cde Lesabe said that
fot the sake of peace and
unity, people who know
dissidents should expose
them.

She said ZAPU would
not do anything to frus-
trate Government plans
but jf would point out any-
thing it thought was going
wrong. “We will go
any lengths to try and
find a solution to the prob-
lems the country is facing
at the moment.”—Herald

WE DON'T WANT WAR WITH ZAPU, SAYS PRIME MINISTER

Harare THE HERALD in English 20 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

ZANU (PF) does not want war with ZAPU or any other party in the
country, the Prime Minister, Cde Mugabe, aaid at the weekend,

Cde Mugabe's message
repeated at several meet-
ings during his two-day
tour of Matabeleland, was
that the Government,
though led by

(PF), was a Government
of national unity because
it included members of
other parties.

The ZANU (PF) pro-
gramme to develop the
country was not intended
to advance the interests
of the party but that of
the country as a whole..

He said the ruling
party was firmly commit-
ted to peaceful co-opera-
tion with other parties in
waging a “new war” for
the development of the
country,

But while ZANU (PF)
was strongly in favour of
a united. effort to pro-
mote the interests of the
nation it would meet fire
with fire in cases where
people resorted to acts of
violence and banditry as
an expression of their
views.

“Let me make it clear:
Those who wield the
sword will perish by the
sword,” he told a cheer-
ing crowd at Filabusi.

At the City Hall in
Bulawayo, Cde Mugabe
said ZANU (PF) had no
objection to other parties
or groups expressing con-

cso: 3400/8

structive criticism of Gov-
ernment policies provided
they did so within the
constitutional framework.

The Government, in its
efforts to track down and
capture - unruly elements
like dissidents and spies,
occasionally picked up
suspects some of whom
were later found to be
innocent. He assured the
people that such actions
by Government would not
have been arbitrary but
based on information re-
ceived. -

If the information was
found to be wrong then
the suspect would be re-
leased immediately. No-
body in Zimbabwe should
live under fear of arrest
unless he or she was “a
dissident or supporter of
the bandits”.

At Filabus! Cde Mugabe
drew cheers when he said
the only war everybody in
Zimbabwe must embark
on was that of develop-
ment and reconstruction.

He said this war against
underdevelopment was na-
tional and demanded a
united people in order to
fight it. The unity. Zimba-
bweans had shown ip
fighting Ian Smith and
his military might during
‘the colonial days was the

67

kind of unity needed now
‘to fight the new enemy:
underdevelopment.

Some district council-
lors had refused to co-
operate in certain projects
because the Government
was that of ZANU (PF)
and any co-operation they
rendered would advance
ti interests of the ruling
party,

But Cde Mugabe stress-
ed this view was wrong
because ZANU (PF)’s
policies of development
transcended party, ‘tribal
or racial interests.

The Prime Minister was
shown two women victims
of the recent spate of
beatings ard burning as
a@ result of political witch-
hunting in Beitbridge dis-
trict.

The two women, Mrs
Tiribali Dube and Mrs
Siyayi Siziba, were brought
before the Prime Minister
who closely examined the
scars'on their arms.

Also examining the
huge scars were his wife,
Cde Sally and the Min-
ister of Home Affairs, Dr
Herbert Ushewokunze.

The women said they
had been beaten and burnt
with plastic by a gang
of thugs after they failed
to produce ZAPU cards
because they were ZANU
(PF) members.

WHEAT IMPORTS PLANNED TO BEAT HARVEST SHORTFALL

Harare THE HERALD in English 18 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

ARRANGEMENTS to im-
port wheat to maké up
for the shortfall from this
year’s coming harvest are
being made, Deputy Min-
ister of Trade and Com-
merce Mr John Landau
said in the House of
‘Assembly yesterday.

The wheat would come
in from more than one
source, he said.

An inter - ministerial
committee had been set

up to look into ways of
finding additional supplies
to alleviate the shortage
and stretch existing sup-
plies.

Mr Landau had been
asked by Government
Chief Whip Cde Naison
Muroyiwa | whether _ he
would consider allocating
more flour to bakeries
catering for the rural
areas, rather than to the
urban areas.

Mr Landau replied that
the supply of wheat is-
sued by the Grain Mar-
keting Board had been
rationed by slightly re-
ducing supplies to millers,
to make the existing
stocks of wheat last until
October ‘or November,
when the winter-wheat
crop was harvested.

The large bakeries sup-
plied bread to both rural
and urban areas, and thus

cso: 3400/8

received the largest share
of the supply of flour.

He also told Mr Dennis
Divaris (Ind., Kopje) that
the ministry was tully
aware of bakers using
thelr flour allocations to
produce highly priced and
more profitable “fancy
loaves”.

Steps were being taken
to rectify the matter.

In Mutare, the Grain
Marketing Board manager
there, Cde Elias Chiwa-
raidze said a substantial
increase in the Middle
Sabi wheat crop was ex~-
pected this year.

As harvesting and dell-
veries of wheat began
this week, Cde Chiwa-
raidze said a crop of up
to 350000 bags (31000
tonnes) ‘was expected.

The figure was 85000
bags above last year’s
crop which was afflicted
by disease and produced
low grades,

‘The wheat being deli-
vered this season was of
excellent quality,

The general manager of
the GMB, Mr Bill Long,
said: ‘We are expecting a
good crop from Middle
Sabi, but it only accounts
for about 17 percent of
the total expected crop of
185000 tonnes.

70

“We believe that the
total demand for wheat
is about 250 000 tonnes, so
there is a 65000 tonne
shortfall.”

Middle Sabi, however, is
not only producing plenty
of wheat, The region has
doubled its soya output to
63804 bags. — Ziane-
Herald Representative,

So far, in the six years since it was founded, the RNM has followed the
practice of releasing its prisoners without holding them to ransom or
trying to make political capital out of them.

This time the situation seems to be different. In Lisbon RNM spokesman
Dr Evo Fernandes announced that the prisoner will be released only in
exchange for political prisoners held by Frelimo, most of them since 1975.

The prisoners are part of a 500-strong contingent of Bulgarian
"Co-operantes" (collaborators) sent by their government to Mozambique to
help in development projects.

The six are road building engineers. Four men and two women are included
in the captive group. Their names have been given as Necelline Marino (49),
Rumania Vamova (34), Crene Batrola (39), Dimetre Coevde (37), Gradamai
Diamov (28) and Nokolatodo Rovdko (23).

According to a communique released by the RNM department of information,
the Bulgarian engineers were captured in the last week of August 120 km
out of Milange, in the Zambezia province.

The Bulgarians were engaged in the construction of a tarred road linking
the rail terminal at Mocuba to the border town of Milange, just across
from Malawi.

Dr Fernandes is reported to be in contact with the International Red Cross
to arrange for an exchange of prisoners.

Although it is not known whether the prisoners are still alive after seven
years of incarceration, the RNM is trying to secure the release of at least
some of the 240 democratic leaders rounded up and jailed by Frelimo at the
time of the Portuguese collapse.

RNM's track record in the treatment of war prisoners had been impeccable
according to reports by men released from detention in RNM bush hideouts.

The Amazons

Everything a man can do, they can do better. So goes the thinking among
the young Annie Oakleys of the Mozambique bush.

An AK47 is second nature to them. But when it comes to posing for pic-
tures their feminity shows through the toughness.

And they lead a tough life indeed. And a dangerous one, too. As with
guerilla armies anywhere, they are kept on the move most of the time, with-
out having a hut they can call home.

The women-soldiers of the Resistencia Nacional Mocambicana undergo a period
of military training to learn how to handle a gun.

USSR DELEGATION OFFERS SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Accra GHANAIAN TIMES in English 21 Aug 82 p 4

[Text]

HE ‘recent visit of 4 three-
member delegation of the
U.S.S.R. Committee of Youth
Organizations, has opened up
new vistas for. co-operation
between Ghanaian Youth and
their Soviet counterparts, in
the struggle against all forms
of exploitation and domina-
tion.

According to Comrdde.Mo-
rdzov Andrie, a membér of the
delegation; they came to Gha-
na to! learn about the work of
the National Youth Organizing
Commission. (NYOC). with a
view to evacuating, its _pro-
blems as a factor tor deter-
mining the extent of Soviet
assistance, to it.

> ‘Furthermore, the. delegation
aimedTM at strengthening the
already cordial relations that
exists between the youth of
Ghana and their Soviet coun-
terparts, based on the princi-
ples of anti-imperialism, peace
and international brotherhood.

Comrade Morozov told re-
presentatives of the Ghanaian
Mass Media in Accra on Fri-
day, August 13, 1982, that

“our delegation is highly im-
pressed by the level of parti-
/cipation of the Ghanaian youth
‘in the on-going revolutionary
process.

“With effective mobilization,
under the vanguard of a unifi-
ed and dynamic National
Youth Movement, the young
people of your country will
work tirelessly to ensure the
success of the process of

democratization”.

Within the one week’stay of
the delegation in the country,
it met representatives of ihe
National Youth Organizing
Commission, the Ministry of
Youth and Sports, leaders of
the Ghanaian revolution and
some youth leaders.

In discussions with the
Ministry of Youth and Sports,
the delegation expressed the
commitment of the Soviet
Youth and people to the prin-
ciple of each nation having a
right to determine its own
destiny without external inter-
ferance.

The delegation was happy,
that the Ghanaian people
have embarked on the road to
the building of an independent
national economy, under the
banner of the December 31
Revolution.

HEIRS

Comrade Matiykhin Badin,
leader of the delegation told a
meeting with officials of the
Ministry of Youth and Sports
that, the youth as dependable
heirs of the revolution, ought
to be given political and social
education, to enable them
play active roles in it.

He announced that the USSR.
Committe of Youth Organiza-
tions, has offered sponsorship
to eight Ghanaian Youth to
study on Soviet educational
institutions.

The delegation expressed
solidarity with the Ghanaian
Youth and people in their
struggle against the vicious

designs of imperialism, to.
block the forward march of
revolutionary process.

On the international situa-
tion. both sides agreed that
the work of the international
peace movement which has
grown from strength to
strength, after World War Il.
deserves the active support
participation of all progressive

forces, as a means of
avoiding the wastage
of the world's material
and human resources on
senseless wars.

The struggle agaliist apar-
theid, racism and zionism and
for national independence,
adherence to the policy of
peaceful co-existence and the
principle of international peace
were questions on which both
sides agreed on the need for
fruitful consultations and co-
operation.

Mr Kwasi Adu, Chairman ot
\izing
Commission summerized
everything in these words "co-
operation between the youth of
Ghana and their Soviet coun-
terparts shall be based on the
commitment of both sides to
the struggle against imperial
ism".

In evacuating the visit of
the Leninis Youth delegation,
it becomes imperative to
look at the historical ties that
exist between the Soviet and
the Ghanaian people.



CULTURAL IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGES STRESSED

[Article by Deepchand Beeharry:

The Ministry of:
Education will next
week, in conjunc-

seminar to give all
those interested,
an opportunity to
express their views
on the future of

their relevance to
the development of
a «national cons-

to put up important reforms in the field
of education and apparently relies to
a great extent on the findings of that
seminar to go ahead.

Ramduth Jaddoo, the Education
Minister, having been a teacher ever
Since he left college, is not unaware of
the many springs of our educational
system and the problems of languages
facing the Mauritian child and his
parents. Languages which, by the way,
the Minister has a command of, whether
it is English, French, Hindi or créole.

A look at the various

makes it clear that the
points at issue are
very delicate indeed
and that, however uni-

sharply divided on lin-

questions. May be it
was the knowledge of
such a division which,

CALL ON CEDI OVER-VALUATION--The PNDC and economic experts in the country
have been called upon to come out with a package solution to the problem
of over-valuation of the cedi. The Ghana National Association of Teachers
(GNAT) which made this call observed with concern that the inability of the
government to find a solution to the problem was further worsening the
nation's economic situation. It conceded, however, that the problem was a
very complex one which could not be solved by devaluation. Reading a memo-
randum in Accra yesterday, the Secretary-General of the Association, Mr T.A.
Bediako, said it was common knowledge that the value of the cedi was
unrealistic and that the current economic situation had been described as
one of imbalance between real resources and monetary demand. [Excerpt]

USSR DRUG DONATION--The Soviet Government has presented 60 cases of drugs
worth 25,000 dollars to the Ministry of Health at the Tema Medical Central
Stores. The gifts which included anti-biotics, vitamins, and anti-
diarrhoea drugs, anaesthetics and bandages were presented on behalf of the
Soviet Government and the Soviet Red Cross by the Charge d'Affaires of the
USSR Embassy in Ghana, Mr F. Faslov. Dr Charles Buadu, Acting Sectetary
of the Ministry of Health received them. Mr Faslov expressed the hope that
the drugs would benefit the government and the people of Ghana and noted
that it was the second time this year that the Soviet Government had
presented drugs to Ghana. Mr Faslov said that the first drugs which came
in February were worth $75,000 and expressed the hope that the drugs would
be distributed fairly all over the country. Receiving the drugs, Dr Buadu
expressed the gratitude of the Government of Ghana to the Soviet Govern-
ment. He said the Soviet Union had done a lot for the people of Ghana
since the launching of the revolution. [Text] [Accra DAILY GRAPHIC in

LIBYAN DRUG DONATION--The Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya would
never forsake Ghana in her struggle to redeem herself from social, political
and economic strangulation, a Libyan diplomat has said in Accra. "This
brotherly attachment is manifested in the fact that the two nations have a
common objective bringing total emancipation to the people," he said. In
order to actualize his numerous promises to give aid to Ghana, the Libyan
Leader Colonel Gaddaffi is backing his utterances with action, realizing so

But mostly they are engaged on more peaceful pursuits as nurses and teachers.
They also man communication posts and drive vehicles.

In the so-called "liberated areas" the women's detachments play an impor-
tant role in the running of camp hospitals and schools.

The Battlefront

Last month, strikes of the Resistance Nacional Mocambicana were reported

in seven provinces of Mozambique covering about 75 percent of the territory.
Most of the rebel activity, mainly sabotage actions and political kidnap-
pings, have been confirmed by Frelimo sources.

Military observers see a close similarity between the pattern of RNM's
tactics and strategy and that used by Frelimo in the months before the
collapse of the Portuguese army in 1975.

Rather than challenge the Mozambique Government forces, which boast
sophisticated weaponry supplied by the Eastern bloc, the rebels strike at

soft targets.

Their avowed aim is to disrupt the already badly shaken economy of the
country.

Mozambique's railway network has been especially hard hit. With the excep-
tion of the rail line running from the northern port of Nacala to Malawi,
all others have been attacked by guerillas.

In the period August 13 to August 16, trains were reportedly blown up at
Mavalane (Maputo-Zimbabwe line), Semacuesa (Beira-Malawi line), Vila
Machado (Beira-Zimbabwe line) and Doa (Dona Ana-Moatize line).

On August 16 RNM forces overran Inharrime, blowing up a train in the
southern province of Inhambane. The Dona Ana-Moatize line was hit again
on August 22.

Earlier in the month the rebels claimed to have sabotaged the Beira-Matare
(Umtali) pipeline at Xiluvo, in the Manica province.

They also claimed to have brought down on August 13 a section of the Cabora
Bassa transmission lines cutting off once again the power supply to South
Africa.

It is claimed that at Mocono, the rebels recovered a Russian-made B-10
heavy gun and 45 mortars.

During August the RNM high command announced the opening of two new fronts.
One, the Maputo military region, is said to be fully independent from the

central southern command at Gaza.

GHANA

DISADVANTAGES OF CONTINUED CURFEW RESTRICTIONS NOTED

Accra THE LEGON OBSERVER in English Vol 14, No 8, Aug 82 p 188

[Text]

Since Dec 31, 1981, the nation has lived
under a curfew. At first, it was a dusk-to-
dawn affair. Then, some weeks after it came
into force, it was progressipely changed to
10 p.m-to-5 am., where it remains.

No official reason has ever been given for
the curfew. But one can deduce from state-
ments here and there, now and then, that it
must have something to do with state secu-
rity—or, perhaps more to the point, the secu-
rity and stability of the new government. For
there used to be some fear of some invasion
from outside. If that is so, we venture to
say that the imposition has lasted rather long.
There is also fear of the possibility of a coup
in the dead of night, apparently. But. there
can be no lack of confidence in our security
forces to contain alien or local forces.

Whatever be the case, we can think of other
reasons why the curfew should be reviewed —
nay, lifted. Correspondents to this paper as well
as the national press have pointed to the
harm it is, undoubtedly, doing to the economy.
And we urge the authorities to give a serious
thought to this aspect of the matter, especially.

For one thing, a considerable amount of
economic activity — in the production of goods
and services — takes place at night, as in the
day. This is so everywhere in the world, not
Ghana alone. The effect of the curfew is to
curtail this almost completely. The curfew
also reduces the amount of hours of effective

cso: 3400/21

work ostensibly. and theoretically available
between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. Those who are
working in the evenings, such as some factory
hands, food sellers and so forth, stop early in
order to get indoors before 10 p.m.; and those
who would normally start out early (such as
farmers at 4 a.m.) are unable or uneasy to stir
before 5 a.m. The risk of instant draconian
punishment is too forbidding. All together,
then, productive work suffers.

Socially, it is awfully inconvenient. Travel
hours, time for social and family visiting and
related affairs, entertainment — all of these
suffer. It appears at one time the Chairman
of the PNDC was urged at a press conference
to say something about it. And he was reported
to have assured the public that it would soon
be lifted. And the Chairman’s word is not to
be doubted.

Lately, an addditional reason has been added.
following the sad incident of the kidnapping
and murder of four prominent citizens in
July. The feeling grew that if the friends and
relatives had not been constrained by the cur-
few, they could have moved about more frecly
to call for help in tracking the abductors or
at any rate raising alarm on a wide scale. That
feeling has not gone down. It persists, especial-
ly among certain categories of citizens. Per-
sonal safety is at stake. And, we believe the
way to allay people’s fears is to restore the
environment of freedom of movement to all the
people, all the time.

ZIMBABWE

LOAN AGREEMENT SIGNED WITH SWITZERLAND
Harare THE HERALD in English 18 Sep 82 p 3

[Text] Zimbabwe yesterday signed an $8.5 million loan agreement with
Switzerland.

The Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development, Dr Bernard
Chidzero, said the loan would provide mixed credit facilities from the
Swiss government and commercial banks for Zimbabwe to buy manufactured
goods from that country.

It would also assist Zimbabwe to import capital goods, some raw materials
and other essential commodities from Switzerland.

He said that with the present world recession and the monetary supply sit-
uation, it was very difficult for developing countries to tackle develop-
ment problems.

"It is my hope that the situation in Zimbabwe and the world will improve
and that Zimbabwe will be able to repay this loan promptly.

"The loan will add to foreign exchange allocations to the private sector
and boost productivity. It is indicative of the mutual understanding and
co-operation between our countries," Cde Chidzero said.

The Swiss roving ambassador and delegate for trade, Mr Eric Roethlisberger,
who signed the agreement on behalf of his government, said the Swiss
authorities were aware of the difficulties of scarce foreign exchange
facing many developing countries, particularly Zimbabwe.

He hoped that the mixed credit facility would help finance Zimbabwe's
development.

On behalf of the Swiss government, Mr Roethlisberger praised Dr Chidzero
for his dedication to the development of Zimbabwe and its people.

two shots hit the chief in the ribs and one in the shoulder. As the two

men grappled, two more shots were fired before the gunman ran off,

apparently having run out of ammunition. The chief managed to drive to the
local police college. He is now reportedly in the Releigh Fitkin Memorial
Hospital, Manzini. The next morning, a strong detachment of armed Swazi
police was seen in the area of the shooting. A number of incidents of
political violence have occurred in Mobeni flats over the last two years,
including the car-bombing that killed an African National Congress man and
his wife earlier this year. It is not known if any arrests have been made.--

CALL FOR FEWER NEWSPAPERS—-Bloemfontein--South Africa needed fewer and
better quality newspapers, especially fewer Afrikaans newspapers, Mr Hennie
Vandeventer, editor of Bloemfontein's Afrikaans daily Die Volksblad, said
yesterday. Addressing the Nellie Swart Women's Club, he said South Africa
had more newspapers in relation to its White population, than any other
country. It was absurd that in some South African cities up to eight news-
papers were available every morning, compared with New York's two or three.
This could not carry on unchecked, he said. At some stage economic forces
would have to bring about a rearrangement of the newspaper market. Circu-
lation areas would also have to be determined so that "outsiders" would not
be able to poach on a local newspaper's territory. The present situation
created extreme competition for news, readership and advertisements--a
situation in which no one dared relax.--Sapa. [Text] [Johannesburg THE

CALL FOR BOYCOTT--Soweto shopkeepers are to intensify their campaign against
the so-called "front" companies, their first target being a milling group
presently financing a black-run business in the township. The Soweto Cham-
ber of Commerce and Industry president, Mr Veli Kraai, said yesterday:
"Shopkeepers will ensure that no further orders come in from the company
after present stocks on our shelves have all been sold. Most shopkeepers
have thrown their weight behind this campaign." The SCCI resolved last
weekend to prevent all shopkeepers in the townships from making further
orders of the company's products. The company is financing a giant super-
market in Jabulani. He said the organisation would in future "screen"
businessmen seeking financial help from white companies. Only after con-
sultation with the businessmen's organisation would blacks be allowed to
run white-financed concerns in the townships, he added. Mr Kraai urged
black businessmen to "come together" so that they could form companies.
This, he said, would ensure that all businesses in the townships would be
black-owned. Among the targets of the businessmen's organisation is the
off-course tote in Dube, which the body has pledged to "fight out of
Soweto." [Text] [Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 27 Sep 82 p 3]

ANGOLA

RICH MINING POTENTIAL, OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES SURVEYED

Paris AFRICA AFP in English 17 Sep 82 pp 18-19

[Text] Luanda, September 16--Production in Angola's mines is poor consid-
ering the potential and must be developed in order to lead Angola to
economic recovery, according to a statement published after the ruling
MPLA's first party congress.

"We must give priority to oil, diamonds, iron, phosphate, mica, natural gas
and ornamental stones, in order to get a healthy economy going," the
statement said.

According to reliable sources, Angola is rich in rare minerals such as
uranium, platinum, cobalt and nickel.

But the Angolan mining industry is presently almost inexistant with the
exception of oil and diamonds, and the infrastructure set up after the
MPLA established the people's republic of Angola in 1975, does not work
properly.

Diamond production dropped last year to 400,481 carats, 8,500 less than the
previous year. The figures were officially attributed to a lack of trans-
portation, high absentee rates and increased smuggling.

Oil, diamonds and iron made up 95 per cent of Angola's total production
prior to independence from Portugal which neglected the country's remain-
ing mineral wealth.

Mineral Resources

Small operations were spread throughout this vast country of 1.2 million
square kilometres (800,000 square miles) and there was no systematic
prospection for mineral resources.

After independence, these small operations were nationalised and the
Industry Ministry created the Geology and Mining Industry Directorate
(DNGIM) and a cartography agency.

NEW ELECTRIC POWER LINE OPENED IN ARUSHA
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 13 Sep 82 p 3

[Text] The 132 kilovolt electricity transmission line from Kiyungi, Moshi
to Njiro Hill in Arusha whose construction began in 1980 was commissioned
and energized last Wednesday.

The Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) said in a statement in Dar es
Salaam yesterday that the line designed to relieve the overloaded power
carrier between the two towns would supply electricity to industrial
centres at Themi Estate, Unga Limited and Corridor areas in Arusha.

The 70-kilometre line which cost 69 million/- would also provide power for
domestic consumption in all areas around Arusha town, the statement added.

The project undertaken by a French firm--Cgee Alsthom-—-includes a step-
down sub-station at Njiro Hill. It has the capacity to bear 90 megawatts

of power.

According to the statement, industrial and domestic power demand is esti-
mated at 40 megawatts by the year 2000.

The foreign component of the project cost--56 million/- came through a
suppliers credit from the French firm which also provided project materials
and equipment.

The project in the Northeastern extension of the National Power Grid is
part of Tanesco's efforts to improve electric power supply throughout the
country.

The statement also said three-quarters of the 280 kilovolt power line from
Kidatu to Mufindi in the south-west extension has been completed. The
extension of electricity from Kidatu power station is destined to Mbeya
through Iringa.

Surveys on the extension from Mufindi to Mbeya has been completed and con—

struction work estimated to cost 230 million/- is expected to be completed
later next year.

63


The Kidatu-Mufindi portion of the project has been contracted to a Yugoslav
firm--Energoinvest of Sarajevo. It would cost 300 million/— on completion,
225 million/- of which is in foreign currency.

The north-west section of the National Grid would carry Kidatu power from
Iringa to Mwanza and Mara through Dodoma, Shinyanga and Tabora.

A 220 kilovolt line would carry the power up to Mwanza and down to Tabora
while 132 kilovolt transmission would channel power flow from Mwanza to
Musoma.

The extension would also utilise power from a planned hydro-power station

at Mtera, north of Iringa Region whose construction is expected to start
early next year.

MAURITIUS

GOVERNMENT ACCUSED OF FUELING COMMUNALISM
Port Louis THE NATION in English 19 Sep 82 p 3
{Article by G. L. Magnum]

[Text] The actual government's fight against communalism has been widely
applauded and appreciated by the whole Mauritian nation. Probably this
was the unmatched weapon that had annihilated the Labour party and its
allies, in the last general elections. However, any fight against this
scourge implies primarily the elimination of its major underlying causes
and any practices that promote it.

I wonder whether the actual government has up to now taken the right track
and the most effective weapon to combat this plague. For, what we have
seen and heard before and after the general election illustrates clearly
that the now ruling body, instead of fighting it as pretended, is fuelling
it and giving it a new and different dimension.

The following points will be crystal clear to you:

(i) Having a look at the list of candidates of the MMM-PSM for the last
general poll, it can be found that the choice had been done essentially on
a communal basis not to mention colour, race, prejudice and the famous cast
system.

(ii) Our Prime Minister and vice Prime Minister are of Hindu origin and
surely our future President will be another one!

(iii) Bhojpuri is second to our mauritian "patois." News are still being
cast in Bhojpuri, members of the Parliament are now allowed to speak this
language in the Assembly and Parliamentary works are reported in the same
language on TV and radio.

If some are of opinion that the reason is because Hindus form the majority,
then the war against communalism is already lost. According to MMM-PSM
magic words "Ene Sel Lepep Ene Sel Nation" [one single people, one single
nation], we must be one... but not two nations. We have all decided to
promote mauritianism and believe in it, but we are not prepared to be
divided anymore. If we want a true mauritian nation to be born, then we

SPOKESMAN CLAIMS RESETTLEMENT HIT BY LAND SHORTAGE

Expropriation Possible

Harare THE HERALD in English 20 Sep 82 p 1

[Article by Mike Overmeyer]

[Text]

LAND redistribution plans
are being seriously ham-
pered by a critical short-
age of land on offer, lack
of money and the growing
squatter crisis, a Govern-
ment spokesman said ‘in
Harare yesterday.

He said it mignt become
necessary for the Govern-
ment to acquire land by
force or expropriation,
because of shortcomings
in the willing-buyer, will-
Ing-seller system agreed
to at Lancaster House
more than two years ago.

‘The deputy secretary for
lands in the Ministry of
Lands, Resettlement and
Rural’ Development, Cde
Mark Paraiwa, said in an
interview that the Govern-
ment had already bought
two million hectares of
land for resettlement but
was finding it difficult to
buy more.

One reason for this was
that farmers who have de-
cided to stay in Zimbabwe
were reluctant to sell
their land.

‘The Government plans
to buy up to nine million
hectares of commercial
farming land to resettle
162 000 within three years
at’ an estimated cost of
roughly $600 million.

So far 14000 families
ave been resettled,

Zimbabwe's 5000 com-
tmherclal farmers own more
than 14 million hectares of
the best agricultural jand.

Cde Paralwa said:
“Land that was on offer
earlier is no longer avail-
able.”

He added that a major
point of discussion at
Lancaster House was that
the British government
understand — that . land
would be obtained whole-
sale and given to the peo-
ple with ‘the dawning of

majority rule.

“One consideration was
that there be no compen-
sation for’ this land but
the British government
was not amenable to this
idea and later agreed on
a _willing-buyer. — willing-
seller system to be fund-
ed by them.”

A major consideration
in the resettlement plan
was to allow families to
earn an tncome from’ the
land they were given.

“This means that each
family has to get enough
land to meet thelr sub-
sistence needs estimated
at about $400 a year at
vurrent prices,” said Cdo
Paratwa.

Because of -this, he
added, the Government
may not be able to re-
settle the number, of
people in need of land.

7h

“We have realised, there-
fore, that land redistribu-
tion ts not the panacea of

all Zimbabwe's economic
problems, We have to
examine opportunities in
other sectors of the eco-
nomy as well. ’

“In a way, there 1s
really no question at the
moment of the Govern-
ment ‘solving the land
question completely. Our
priority is to resettle
people who are really
desperate like war refu-
gees, displaced and un-
employed,” he said.

He added: “If we could
move at a_ sufficlenily
quick pace fo get these
people on the land: and
make it more productive,
the Government would
have achieved the original
objective of alleviating
Jand hunger.”

Cade’ Paraiwa said the
re-planning of the com-
munsl lands would prob-
ably cost more than the
resettlement programme.

“But at the moment we
have no problem with
trying to put unused land
to good use.”

Land squatters, he add-
ed, ‘were increasing in
number and spreading
throughout the country,
especially In Manicaland
where the squatting was
serious,

PRC-ASSISTED AGRICULTURAL PROJECT HANDED OVER

Accra DAILY GRAPHIC in English 28 Aug 82 pp 1, 4

[Article by Lee Accorley]

[Excerpts]

THE first phase of the 23 billion dollars Afife Irriga-
tion Project constructed with Chinese technical ai
has been formally handed over to the Government of
Ghana at an impressive ceremony at Afife.

The project which started in 1970 and completed
in July, this year, is capable of producing 6,800 fons
of rice annually.

Before the symbolic handing over of the project,
Brigadier J. Nunoo-Mensah, Chief of Defence Staff
who deputised for the Chairman of the Provisional
National Defence Council (PNDC), Fit-Lt. J. J.
Rawlings yesterday, thanked the Chinese Govern-
ment for the assistance especially at this time when
agriculture had been placed on the priority list.

He paid glowing tribute to the Chinese and Gha-
naian workers who in the spirit of co-operation
worked together to realise what he described as
“our dreams at Afife.””

Brigadier Nunoo-Mensah asked all genuine
friends of the country to take a cue from the Chinese
example of international co-operation and ‘help
Ghanaians to create the necessary infrastructure
that would enable them to,improve on the economy
and bring justice and progress to the people.

cso: 3400/20

He disclosed that the
protocol agreement bet-
‘ween Ghana and China
for the construction of the
second phase of the pro-
ject would soon be sign-
ed.

The second phase
covers the rehabilitati

of dams built by Soviet
experts, abandoned since
1966, the construction of
ten hectres of fish ponds
and the reclamation of
additional hectres of land.

In his __ welcome
address, the Charge d’At-
fairs of the Chinese Em-
bassy, Mr Dong Xuelin,
disclosed that last year
150.5 hectres of reciaim-
ed land yielded 3.81 me-
tric tons of rice per hectre.

He expressed the hope;

that Ghanaians in their
|wisdom would be able to
add beauty and grandeur
‘to “this flower watered by
a mixture of the sweat of
the People’s of China and
‘Ghana.”

INTER-AFRICAN AFFAIRS

WORRIED AFRICAN NATIONS FORM FINANCIAL BODY

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 17 Sep 82 p 5

[Text]

. AFRICAN countries, concerned

with the problem of balance of
payments, have formed a con-
tinental financial instituticn, the

African Monetary Fund (AMF)-

aimed at mobilising financial re-
sources for their nations.

The formation of AMF is a re-
sult of a three-day symposium on
balance of payments, problems of
African countries organised by the
Aftican centre for monetary stud-
ies held in Blantyre, Malawi, from
August 16 to 19 and attended by
about 30 countries.

Zambia was represented at the
symposium by Bank of Zambia
(BOZ) assistant director of Resear-
ch Mr Ernest Mwila and Standard
Bank of Zambia chairman, Mr
Luke Mwananshiku.

The AMF was conceived as an
institution which will address itself
to the peculiar monetary issues as
well as the balance of payments
problems of African economies.

Four topics were on the agenda
of the symposium including the

cso: 3400/8

nature and size of the balance of
payments problems of African
countries, the financing of deficits.
the adjustment problems and stra-
tegies for a better performance of
the balance of payments.

The delegates drawn mainly
from central banks ‘of African
countries noted that their states
had very severe economic pro-
blems.

DEBT BURDEN

Between 1973 and this year, the
deficit on current account, the debt
burden and the debt service ratio
of African countries have increas-
2d dramatically. :

The symposium noted that, in
view of the size of the problem,
nothing Short of inflow resources
‘on generous terms will help solve
the problem, hence the need to
press for more official aid and in-
ternational assistance.

“This action should be supple-
mented by a package of appro-
priate and. effective fiscal and
monetary measures, but at times,

had adverse effects of
¢ not only their develop-
ment programmes but also the
jevel of the economic activity,” the
conference resolutions said.

According to the symposium
2 seems to be a crisis of evono-
theory in Africa and the Afri-
can entre for monetary studies
was asked to look into the pro-
blem.

‘The IMF was asked to give more
assistance to African countries
while these countries~were also
asked to introduce measures to
contain the balance of payments
problem. i?



On the other hand, the Government must release itself from
‘some of the shackles of the Lancaster House Agreement in which
clauses were inseried, in our view, to prevent speedy land re-
distribution. These clauses were inserted by parties who do not
have to deal with the problems of land.

When the policy of'land resettlement was first formulated, the
problem of squatters was not envisaged. The ministry concerned
seems to have not been consistent in dealing with that particular
problem. Or may we ask why the treatment of squatters in
Matabeleland has been more harsh than those in Manicaland?
We have a national problem which we feel requires a national
solution. And not just a piecemeal solution.

KENYA

MAGUGU DENIES IMF SUSPENDS STAND-BY LOAN
AB041521 Paris AFP in English 1459 GMT 4 Oct 82

[Text] Nairobi, Oct 4 (AFP)--Kenya today denied that the IMF had suspended
a stand-by loan agreement with Nairobi, as reported in the LONDON FINANCIAL
TIMES last week.

Kenyan Finance Minister Arthur Magugu said a team of IMF officials arrived
here a week ago to discuss with Kenyan authorities the continuation of the
programme, and negotiations for the second part of the 162 million dollar
loan agreement were already underway.

Mr Magugu described the FINANCIAL TIMES report of October 1 as "hostile,
uncalled for and damaging in the eyes of the international community,
particularly the donor countries to Kenya."

Sources said Kenya has already drawn 96 million dollars out of the programme.

Mr Magugu also denied reports that the arrival of the IMF officials in
Kenya [was] unexpected. They had promised to come to Nairobi around this
time during last month's IMF meeting in Toronto, Canada, he said.

"The government would like to stress that the relations between Kenya and
the IMF are very cordial and very friendly," Mr Magugu said, noting that
any dealings between the Kenya government and the IMF were always preceeded
by a formulation of clear policies of agreement.

The minister pointed out that difficulties with the balance of payments
continued to pose severe constraints for Kenya, but he added that response
had been encouraging to President Daniel Arap Moi's emergency appeal for
balance of payments support.

Mr Magugu also said that despite a difficult economic period for the
country it continued to meet all its financial obligations on time. He
also assured donor countries that a proper management of funds they pro-
vided would be instituted.

Following last August's coup attempt Kenya made emergency appeals to

foreign embassies here for financial assistance to help reconstruct the
economy and repair damage from the abortive uprising.

BRIEFS

TOWNS RENAMED--Three towns which were renamed earlier this year have been
renamed again. A statement from the Prime Minister's Office said that
Nyanda (formerly Fort Victoria) will now be known as Masvingo,
Mandidzudzure (formerly Melsetter) is now Chimanimani, and Chipuriro
(formerly Sipolilo) is now Guruwe. The renaming of Fort Victoria to
Nyanda was a controversial one which was widely debated in public and
resulted in representations to the Government. The name changes will be
gazetted in due course, the statement said. [Text] [Harare THE HERALD in
English 21 Sep 82 p 1] :

RIO TINTO SACKINGS--The president of the Associated Mineworkers' Union,
Cde Jeffrey Mutandare, yesterday said his union was "deeply concerned"

for the future of more than 1,000 miners who may lose their jobs at Rio
Tinto. The giant mining group recently gave notice to the employees say-
ing it could not afford to keep them as the mine was running at a loss.
"There are negotiations going on between the Government and the mine at
the moment and we hope an amicable solution to the problem will be found,"
Cde Mutandare said. He said while these "serious negotiations are in
progress" it was unthinkable for anyone to make wild statements about the
situation. "We don't want to jeopardise the outcome of the negotiations,"
he said. [Text] [Harare THE HERALD in English 21 Sep 82 p 3]

RICE FROM N. KOREA--The 6,600 tonnes of rice imported from North Korea to
offset the shortage in Zimbabwe, is likely to be in shops by the middle of
November, says the general manager of the Grain Marketing Board, Mr Bill
Long. In an interview he said: "The rice is expected to be docked by the
middle of October and then it will be transported by rail into the country.
I don't know how long this will take but I think it should be in the shops
by the middle of November." The GMB imported the rice at the Government's
request. It would await directions from the Ministry of Trade and Commerce
on how the rice would be sold and at what price, he said. Rice was not a
controlled product like maize marketed by the GMB and all the negotiations
on the deal had been done by the Government. "This was undertaken by the
Ministry of Trade and Commerce. We will only be responsible for bringing
the rice here and then selling it," said Mr Long. The shortage of rice had
been caused by drought in Malawi, Zimbabwe's main supplier. The average
consumption of rice was about 12,000 tonnes and it was unlikely the demand
had gone up. [Text] [Harare THE HERALD in English 21 Sep 82 p 1]

ANGOLA

BRIEFS

CASSINGA MINES TO REOPEN--Lisbon--Angola hopes to resume iron ore production
in 1983 after a seven-year break despite South African bombing raids on its
southern mines, says a report in the official newspaper, JORNAL DE ANGOLA.
Angola has signed a contract with an Austrian firm to revive its Cassinga
mines in the southern province of Huila. The projected annual production

is 1.1-million tons of high grade hematite, the report says. Iron ore
exports in 1973--the last year of normal production before Angola's
independence from Portugal--reached 6.3-million tons, mostly to Japan and
West Germany. An official report said mining operations were paralysed by
a South African bombing raid in May which damaged the railway station at the
mining terminal and put the Cassinga power station out of action.--Sapa-
Reuter. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 24 Sep 82 p 11]

cso: 3400/21



Deposits of copper, phosphorous and materials that could be used for con-
struction have been discovered in western Angola. In central and southern
Angola there is much iron ore and in the east there is coal and bauxite.

Observers note that the problems of the national iron company Ferrangol
illustrate the current situation. Ferrangol has two mining concessions,
in northern Angola near the Cuanza River and in southern Angola near
Cassinga and Jamba in Huila Province.

In 1981 the government decided to reopen the Cassinga mines whose reserves
were estimated at 100 million tonnes, and annual production was set at
1,200,000 tons of iron ore annually.

But the deterioration of the infrastructure, such as railways--and a lack
of vehicles, problems feeding workers and raids by South Africa, all con-
spired to prevent the target being reached.

Only 150,000 tons of iron ore were exported from the south Western port of
Namibe (formerly Mocamedes) this year, just over one tenth of the original
target.

According to well-informed Angolan sources, it is theoretically possible
to solve the balance of payments deficit on the strength of Angola's mining
industry alone.

But the lack of qualified managers, the war in southern Angola against the
South-African backed UNITA guerrillas, problems in the bureaucracy and
transportation difficulties are a powerful brake to developing the mining
industry of one of southern Africa's potentially richest countries. (A.F.P.)

SWAOU-TO TIES--The Suidwes Afrikaanse Onderwysers-unie (SWAOQU), and the
Transvaalse Onderwysersvereniging (TO) have decided they have enough in
common educationally and philosophically that they will in future co-
operate closely in regard to their common aims. A spokesman for the TO said
yesterday that its general secretary, Mr Koos Steyn, and its chairman,
Professor Hennie Maree, attended a SWAOU congress in Windhoek recently.

The two Transvalers felt there was a strong unanimity between the TO and
SWAOU regarding their direction with a view to White Afrikaans education.
The TO spokesman said the TO was of the opinion that it was crucially
important that the Afrikaner in SWA should remain there for stability.

For this reason the TO believes it should be made possible for White
Afrikaner teachers to remain in SWA enmass. In order to keep them they
would have to be given strong assurances regarding their continued sal-
aries and pensions should a party like Swapo, for example, take over. The
TO also believes that White Afrikaans teachers could, educationally, play a
major role in a new political dispensation in the territory and the spokes-
man yesterday promised the TO's continued moral support to its counterpart
in SWA. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 28 Sep 82 p 3]

NAMES CORRECTED--A report in the SOWETAN on Friday stated that an anti-

would launch a campaign to stop the execution of three condemned
prisoners, and gave their names as Anthony Bobby Tsotsobe (26), Johannes
Shanbangu (27) and David Moise (26). The names should, in fact, have
been Marcus Motaung, Jerry Mosololi and Simon Mogoerane. [Text]

UNION, STUDENTS SLAM BARLOW--The National Union of Textile Workers and
the Wits Student Representative Council have strongly criticised the giant
Barlow Rand organization of unfair labour practises at one of its com-
panies, Velspun, where hundreds of workers have been fired. In a statement
to the SOWETAN the union says Veldspun has violated Barlow Rand's employ-
ment code and also calls for a boycott of white shops in Uitenhage in the
Eastern Cape. The Wits SRC has also criticised the company, whose execu-
tive chairman, Mr Mike Rosholt, is the chancellor of the university. The
company has also refused to send a representative to address students on
this issue. The dispute at the company started after more than 1,000
workers were fired after striking in protest against the retrenchment of
certain workers. [Text] [Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 27 Sep 82 p 3]

GUNMAN SHOOTS SWAZI CHIEF--Mbabane--An unknown gunman tried to assassinate
a South African Swazi chief who supports the move to incorporate Ka-Ngwane
into Swaziland, it was reported here. The Swazi police have imposed a news
blackout on the incident, which occurred last weekend, but Chief Solomon
Ngomane is said to be in the intensive-care unit of a Manzini hospital,
suffering from three bullet wounds. A front-page report of the Swazi
Observer says the chief was driving in the Mobeni flats area of Matsapa on
the night of Friday, September 17, when a car behind him flashed its lights
for him to stop. Thinking it was the police, the chief stopped and got out.
The occupant of the car behind--a yellow Cortina with a Swazi registra-
tion--approached him and fired a revolver. According to hospital sources,

STOCK FEEDS SHORTAGE CALLED CRITICAL

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 17 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

THERE is a critical shortage of
stockfeeds in the country due to
the drought, and with demand in
the Harare area alone up 100% on
jast year, the situation is unlikely
to improve until December, the
vice-president of the Commercial
Farmers’ Union, Mr John Laurie,
has disclosed.

In an interview with The Gazette
yesterday, Mr Laurie said Matabe-
leland and the Midlands were the
worst-affected areas, and although
the millers were working to capa-
city to meet the demand, the
shortage of raw materials had
worsened the situation.

“The demand for dairy feed
from National Foods in July this
year was 40% more than during
the same month last year, for
concentrates the figure was $2%
up on last year’s figure for July,
and the demand for beef feeds in
May this year was 207% up on the
figure for the same month last
year.

“Due to the drought, there is a
serious shortage of raw materials
like soya and cotton seed. The
cotton hull is also in short supply.
The other problem is the shortage
of wheat in the country, which has
resulted in the shortage of wheat
offal.

SUPPLY PROBLEMS

“There is also the problem of
the milling plants’ capacity to
supply, and the legistical problem
of moving the raw materials to the
milling plants and moving the
finished product,” the vice-
president said.

cso: 3400/8

Mr Laurie said there was an
added problem for the millers
because there was a big demand
for roller meal in the country. The
roughage content of cottonseed
hull, was also critically short.

He said all three categories of
stockfeeds, dairy feed, blocks and
cubes for maintenance rations for
beef livestock, and concentrate for
pen feeding were in short supply.

‘The vice-president said there was
a huge backlog in supplies from
the millers, especially National
Foods in Bulawayo, and due to the
shortage of ingredients, the situa-
tion had become difficult.
~ Saying the farmers in Matabele-
land were relying on ‘parthacd
feed to maintain their livestock,
which was costly, Mr Laurie said:
“Everything that can be done has
to be done to help these farmers to
maintain their livestock, If nothing
is done we might have to face a
beef shortage in the years to
come.””

The vice-president, however,
admitted there was no solution at
present. He said the CFU would
meet the various representative
bodies to discuss the shortage.

CLOSURE

The supply position for oilmeal
had been further aggravated by the
closure: of United Refineries in
Bulawayo for a major overhaul of
machinery:-Mr Laurie said the
Blue Ribbon plant would be
coming back into production on
September 27.

77

“However, even if the plant
comes back into production, we
do not expect the situation to
improve very much because they
have a huge order to supply the
Cold Storage Commission, and
there are other standing orders
which they have to fulfill first,’’ he
said.

The chairman_of the National
Association of Dairy Farmers, Mr
Ted Kirby, told The Gazette that
this was a seasonal time for higher
demand for stockfeeds, warning
that if the rains were delayed this
season, the country would be faced
with a disastrous situation. Mr
Laurie had earlier hinted that even
if the rains came, the grazing was
so poor that it would take time to
improve

The seriousness of the stockfeed
shortage was also highlighted by
Mr Harry Smith, the NADF Mid-
lands, branch chairman, who said
feed blocks could not be bought
because of the non-availability of
cotton seed meal.

Mr Smith was recently quoted
by the Farmer magazine as saying
beef producers feeding for the
CSC were in difficulties, and were
being forced to change their feed-
ing programmes, which upset the
animals.

PROGRESS REPORTED AT MAPUTO, BEIRA PORTS

MOZAMBIQUE

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 17 Sep 82 p 3

[Text]

‘THE- Mocambique ‘Government
and railway officials have taken
steps to improve facilities at the
Beira and Maputo ‘ports including
container handling, rail links and
telex facilities to Maputo.

‘According to the trade bulletin
issued by the Confederation of
Zimbabwe Industries to members
this month, action has been taken
to improve previous low produc-
tivity at Maputo which was said to
be affected by indiscipline and low
motivation.

Until recently labour had been
‘on a casual basis. But permanent
work is now guaranteed and any
labourer who does not report for
work for more than 10 days in a
month will be taken off the
Tegister.

Regular, spaced pay-days have
been introduced. A productivity
bonus scheme for bulk and pre-
staged cargoes handled for a given
number of trucks is offered, speci-
fic gangs are allocated to each shed
or wharf and a new two-shift sys-
tem is planned. to alleviate former
delays in starting or reporting for
work, said the bulletin.

On the Chicualacuala line rail-
way officials have said that the last
60 km, where frequent derail-
ments have occurred, will be relaid
by the end of this year. Protective
measures are being taken to over-
come security problems on the line
and the CFM rail authorities said it
was a top priority to provide a re-
gular service when the problems
have been overcome.

cso: 3400/20

CFM is also studying proposals ~

to provide a bagging plant at ‘H’
shed for bulk fertiliser, grain and
other suitable commodities. The
bulletin said it was believed that
the intention is to proceed with this
project.

It reports that the CFM has
largely sorted out confusion at the
container park. Investment in the
container terminal for portainers
and management contracts would
be worth $10 million and the Port
of Liverpool authority was under-
stood to be preparing proposals

for management of the terminal.

A contract had been signed with
an Italian company for the supply
of two portainer cranes capable of
handling 20 ft and 40 ft containers
and these should be in location this
month. Spare parts needed to re-
pair“thé cranes at the deep water
berth had been arranged and it was
believed the:cranes should soon be
operational again.

The CZI trade bulletin‘also said
that the telex link with Maputo was
working satisfactorily following
renovation of the telex exchange.

‘At the port of Beira four 25-
tonne forklifts were “fully opera-
tive’, believed to be more than
enough for the container volume at
present handled.

The Beira/Mutare rail line was
in reasonable condition after rebal-
lasting was completed. The bulle-
tin said that,CFM maintained that
four trains per day (two each way)
could be operated given sufficient

2h

traffic, but only three trains per

* week were running at present and

the slow turn-round of wagons
back to Zimbabwe was attributed
by CFM to.lack of import traffic.
Measures were being taken to alle-
viate security problems on the line,

* said the bulletin,

In general the port of Beira was
said to be “‘considerably’’ under-
utilised. It had spare capacity for
more traffic but up to what point it
could cope with additional traffic
was difficult to tell, the report
said.

SUSPECTED TERRORISTS DIE IN BLAST
Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 29 Sep 82 pp 1, 2
[Article by Louise Botha]

[Text] Two suspected terrorists died in Boksburg on Monday night--one was
blown to pieces by a hand-grenade while the other was shot dead by a police-

man.

In the incident a tree was uprooted and fell on a bystander, seriously
injuring him. A motorist was also slightly wounded in the shooting.

The suspected terrorists were driving down Commissioner Street, Boksburg at
about 10.30 pm when they were seen by Warrant Officer Solly Bredanham of
the East Rand Dog Squad, who was acting on information received.

Warrant Officer Bredenham followed the suspects, who were driving a stolen
car with false number plates, for about a kilometre. Eventually the car
stopped at traffic lights at the corner of Kruger Street and Commissioner
Street.

The police liaison officer for the East Rand, Major Blackie Swart, said:
“Warrant Officer Bredenham stopped behind the car and approached the two
Black men who were in it. He stood on the driver's side of the car and
saw that each man was holding a hand-grenade.

"The passenger in the car threatened the warrant officer with the hand-
grenade and when he turned away, the car drove off at high speed."

W/O Bredenham then fired several shots at the car and hit the driver in
the head and shoulder.

The car left the road and collided with a tree in Commissioner Street.

The impact detonated hand-grenades in the car and the other suspect was
killed.

Mr Dirk Coetzer (46) of Commissioner Street, ran out of his house when he
heard the shots.

Wa



must all, whether we be Hindus, Muslims, Creoles, Chineses, or Whites,
unite under the same umbrella for actions and forget about majority and

minority.

It is this that gives communal problems their special poignancy and any
solution that leaves this intact is a wrong one. This is why small measures
that are actually being taken by the actual government--however admirable
in themselves will never in the long run be enough. Unless "le gouvernement

du changement" itself changes, rethinks its values, its purpose and its
direction, otherwise, after five years time, it will content itself with

winning a battle and losing a war.

NATIONAL YOUTH FESTIVAL REACHES CLIMAX

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 23 Sep 82 p 1

[Excerpt]

TANZANIAN youths yester-
day pledged support for the
Party constitutional amend-
ments adopted early in the
year, adding that CCM
leaders elected under the
1982 Constitution should
become fully aware of the
separation of Party and
government roles.

In a message to CCM
Chairman Mwalimu Nyerere
during celebrations to mark
the end of the Uhuru Torch
race at Mkoani, Pemba, the
Tanzania Youth Organisation
(Vijana) commended the
Party extraordinary con-
ference for endorsing the con-
stitutional changes.

The youths said leaders
voted in during the on-going
party elections must grasp the
aims of abolishing dual
responsibilities (kofia mbili)
among Party and government
leaders and that they should
live up to the people’s
socialist aspirations.

Mwalimu received the
Torch from the leader of a
six-member youth team which
raced it for 111, days
throughout the country,
Ndugu Godfrey Tondo.

cso: 3400/19

The end of the ‘Torch race”
marked the -climax of the
National Youth festival.

The torch, the symbol of
Tanzania’s independence, was
lit on June 4 in Iringa by the.
Party Chief - Executive
Secretary, Ndugu Daudi
Mwakawago. Iringa was
picked as the starting point
for the race in com-
memoration of the Party
policy on agriculture (Siasa ni
Kilimo) which was adopted
there ten years ago. af

Vijana said in the message
that better farming im-
plements should be adopted
in the rural areas and that
agricultural experts should’be
sent to advise and work with
villagers on improved produc-
tion. i

‘The message said ten years
of _Siasa ni Kilimo had not

provements in peasant) far-

{ming, ‘addigg that agriculture
was the backdone for rural
transformation.

They said the only hope for
better performance lay in
phasing out the hand-hoe in
favour of oxen-drawn ploughs
and other better quality im-
plements..

They pledged to spearhead
efforts ‘to rehabilitate the
national economy, including
a crackdown on economic
saboteurs.

The message urged youths
on the Isles to heed the call by
the Chairman of the Zanzibar
Revolutionary Council Ndugu
Aboud Jumbe, to form
brigades which would track
down ‘smugglers, commodity
rackéteers and corrupt in-
dividuals in public in-
stitutions.

The youths reaffirmed sup-
port and solidarity to
Polisario and urged that the
Organisation of African Unity
(OAU) should not split on
the pretext of the admission
of. the Sahrawi Arab
Democratic Republic (SADR).
i They appealed to African
Feaders to renew their com-
jnitment to African unity and
‘ensure continued existence, of

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HOUSING SCHEME PLANNED

ZIMBABWE

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 17 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

THE biggest satellite city housing
project yet to be developed in Zim-
babwe is the four-phase site and
service scheme now under way in
Harare’s western area of Fontain-
bleau and Parkridge. It will even-
tually cost about $100 million and
contain 12 800 stands to cater for
up to about 100.000 people when
complete.

This huge scheme is being fund-
ed with the help of American aid
loan funds for about 50% of the
estimated total cost, with the other
50% to come from local and
central Government and possibly
from other fund sources.

The total project under the
Ministry of Housing is scheduled
to be completed in three years
time. It will then become an inte-
gral part of the Harare Munici-
pality by 1985.

Apart from providing serviced
stands, The Gazette learned this
week that loans are to. be made
available to purchasers of the sites
and may be granted up to as much
as $2500 for each home owns
This loan finance will be admii
stered by the municipality and is
part of the overall cost of fina-
neing the housing development
project.

CHEAP LOANS

Plans are also being made to
provide building material depots
‘on the site to be administered by
the municipality. Individual build-
ers and the various building bri-
gades which the Government is
setting up will be able to draw
necessary building materials from

these stores against the loans
granted as cheaply as possible.

Already the first phase of the
project is well under way. Roads,
water and sewerage connections
are being !aid down in the South-
east part of the estate near the
Bulawayo road. Within, a few
weeks the first of the newly-
formed building brigades are expe-
cted to move in to build the houses
as cheaply as possible, as part of
the Government plan to. bring
down the present high cost of
building and materials.

The project managers and con-
sultants for the entire project,
under the Ministry of Housing, are
Jot Burrow and Partners (Zim-
babwe) and the first contractors,
Construction Associates, are
working to complete the first phase
of 4 135 serviced stands ty Janua-
ry or February next year.

Prospective registered home-
owners may then view the sites
next year and either choose to
build their own houses based on

prepared plans for nine different |

model core houses and extensions,
or use the services of the new
building brigades to erect their
homes.

AID GRANTED

A United States aid loan of
USS25 million has already been
granted for this first phase of the
project which should be completed
by April-May 1983.

‘A further release of American
loan funds for the same amount
will then be released in 1983 to
build the second phase of 3 260

78

stands. The third and fourth
phases wi!l follow in turn during
the next three years until the total
of 12800 serviced stands and
houses are complete.

The stands at present being
developed are 200sq metres or
312,2Ssq metres in size. But it is
possible that a number of double
stands of 400sq metres linked to-
gether will be available as the
Government is said to want 300sq
metre stands as a minimum.

The construction firms will soon
move on to the site of the first
phase to put up a demonstration
housing centre. Plans for other
permanent community centres and
schools designed for the first phase
of the estate project have been
completed and building then may
start in January.

It is hoped the actual building of
individual core houses and exten-
sions by home-owners or building
brigades will begin just after the’
rainy season next year.

The provision of water and
sewerage facilities presents no ini-
tial problems, according to the
construction firms’ The Crowbo-
rough sewerage system will serve
the area and the Marimba river
west of the city will provide water
for phase 1, 2 and 4 with the Bluff
Hills water system serving phase 3
of the projeci. Electricity supplies
are believed to be adequate’, for
phases 1 and 2, but it is likely that
a major sub-station will have to be
built for the later phases 3 and 4.

LAND redistribution is not being held
up by a shortage of land for sale, the
president of the Commercial Farmers’
‘Union, Mr Jim Sinclair, said yesterday.

He was seeking urgent clarification
on certain statements made by the
deputy secretary for lands in the Min-
istry of Lands Resettlement and Rural
Development, Cde Mark Paraiwa, at the

“The union does not accept that land
redistribution plans are being held up

union knows of some farms on offer to
the Government which hsve not yet

bought by Government are not yet

“In fact the squatter problem on

"National Problem"]

IN yesterday’s edition, we reported on the greedy and chaotic
land-grabbing in Manicaland Province. According to Mutare Rural
Counci!’s district administrator, Cde Peter Mahuni, there are
more than 90 000 squatters in the province. .

We are told that the squatters have settled on fully opera-
tional commercial farms and dense indigenous forest land in
the picturesque Vumba mountains, especially set aside for no
development;' and that they have also begun moving in and
cutting down timber in the Bunga Forest Reserve. -

There are obviously thousands of our people who need
land. But now there appears to be a new breed of so-called
squatters who do not need, but just WANT land. These elements
deserve very prompt and ruthless Government action.

HIGHER WAGES—-Subsidies are being phased out because of the distorted
economic picture they give and because of the higher wages of most workers,
the Minister of Trade and Commerce, Cde Richard Hove, said yesterday. The
Government was committed to raising the standard of living of previously
low-paid workers by legislating for minimum wages. It was therefore "only
reasonable" to phase out subsidies to end the artificial gap between pro-
ducer prices and those paid by consumers. "I would not speak of a time
limit on the programme, but we have already removed subsidies on edible
oils and fats and action has been taken to remove subsidies on super
refined maize meal." Speaking on ZTV's The Nation, Cde Hove said the
subsidies were absorbing 11.5 percent of Government revenue. This could
not be sustained. He. said efforts had been made to impress on emergent
black businessmen the foolhardiness of relying on imported manufactured
goods. On shortages, the minister said the Government had inherited a
position where the country produced more than its requirement of basic
consumer goods. Greatly increased demand since 1980 and the continued
use of obsolete machinery had eradicated the surplus. [Text] [Harare THE

It appeared, he said, as if Mr Botha was prepared to attempt a new experi-
ment, but as long as he was going to place identical restraints on the new
government he envisaged, the history would invariably repeat itself.

Mr Kaura said that the Turnhalle Alliance could not be used as a whipping
boy in order to pacify the reactionary forces in South Africa.

The people were demanding a more comprehensive and full explanation from
him. Mr Kaura warned that there would be no return to the bantustan and
apartheid systems of the past. He would like to assure what he called
the "fascist diehards" that no matter how loud their outcries would be,
the country would not return to those ideologies.

He said that the peace-loving people of SWA would be left with one option
to them--to search for freedom with their blood.

"I challenge the South African prime minister to sacrifice the aspirations
of the Namibian people who aspire towards true independence for the sake
of appeasing a few white reactionaries, and the politically destitute gang
of five, and the bushwar is going to shift from the Angola border to
Keetmanshoop," Mr Kaura said.

He called upon Mr Botha for he was owing it to give the people of SWA a
full explanation about his "surreptitious activities." He said that if
those negotiations to find an acceptable settlement plan for SWA should
once more land in a cul-de-sac, then it would be incumbent upon the
people of this country to decide what to do from then onwards.

Questioned after he had addressed the newsmen, Mr Kaura said in response
to questions put to him that 'we' no longer deal with the South African

government. He considered NUDO as an organisation to fight for the total
liberation of the country.

WORKERS URGE RIO TINTO TO ACCEPT LOAN OFFER

Harare THE HERALD in English 20 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

THE workers at Rio Tinto have asked directors
of the mining group to reconsider their attitude
towards the Government offer of a- $4,7

million loan and have
promised to improve
productivity.

The chairman of the
Rio Tinto HQKA workers’
committee in Kadoma, Cde
Emmanuel Simbi, said in
a statement that the
group should not demand
too much from the Gov-

eroment.

The Minister of Mines,
Cde Maurice Nyagumbo,
said at the weekend that
Rio Tinto had almost cer-
tainly decided to turn
down the Government's
offer made the week be-
fore to try to save the jobs
of more than 1000 miners
in the Kadoma district.

If the deadlock between
Government and Rio Tinto
is not broken, 1096- min-
ers at Empress Mine
alone will be out of work,
while another 350 miners
from five other mines will

be made redundant at the’

end of this month.

According to a report
in The Sunday Mail yes-
terday, the mining group
had agreed to the terms
of the loan, but said on
Friday they hed “now
realised they were not
going to be able to repay
the amount”.

Cde Simbi urged the

group to bear in mind

cso: 3400/8

that it required the per
mission of the Govern-
ment to lay off workers
and he charged that Rio
Tinto would have accept-
ed the Government offer
if. whites faced the loss
of their jobs.

-The committee was
“very much aware” of
the current world econo-
mic recession which had
knocked the bottom out
of mineral prices and
placed the group in its
present predicament, But
employers should not re-
gard workers, “especially
blacks”, as profit-making
instruments that could be
discarded when profits
were ‘not realised. a

Cde Simbi said Rio
Tinto management had
not given consideration to
the workers’ proposal of a
four or five-day working
week, a change he claim-
ed would only reduce
wages and not affect pro-
duction.

He “hoped and prayed”
that the group would come
up with a “more pala-
table” solution to its diff-
culties to save the jobs of
the workers.

KISSINGER, CARRINGTON SEEN IN CAHOOTS WITH SWAPO

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 20 Sep 82 p 4

[Text]

THERE should be no
“doubt that former US
Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger has been hired
to assist SWA’s in-
dependence under
Swapo rule, and that he
has in turn appointed
former British Foreign
Affairs Secretary
Lord Carrington to as-
sist him.

This is the view expres-
sed in the latest issue of the
locally-published rightwing
pamphlet, Die Stryder.

The article,. highlights
the connections between
Dr Kissinger’s recent visit
to Namibia, SA Foreign
Affairs Minister Pik Botha,
and Chairman of . the
Anglo American empire
Sir Ernest Oppenheimer.

It concludes by warning
Whites in Namibia not to
be frightened of the new
“formidable enemy (Kis-
singer) who ignored the
two White political parties
— NP and HNP — when he
visited the Territory two
weeks ago.

sO: 3400/12

Dr Kissinger this year’
reportedly formed a con-
sultancy firm specialising
in advising multinational
investors on’ political mat-
ters, Die Stryder writes.

It also points out that
Minister Pik Botha is an
Honorary Chairman of the
SA_ Institute of  Inter-
national Affairs, of which
Sir Ernest Oppenheimer ‘is
Chairman.

Anglo and its Namibian
affiliate CDM ferried Dr
Kissinger around the Ter-
titory while he was brought
to the subcontinent at the
invitation of the SA In-
stitute. .

The —Institute’s _ con-
ference in Johannesburg,
which was addressed by

32

Dr Kissinger, was _alter-

-natively chaired by Dr

Anton Rupert of
Rembrandt who recently
had a senior team of direc-
tors visit the Territory.

Die Stryder refers to
speculation in financial
reports that Dr. Rupert
might be interested in in-
vesting R800m in Réssing.

It also points out that Dr
Kissinger’s » newly-
appointed adviser Lord
Carrington, is a Director
on Rio Tinto Zinc, which
controls Réssing Uranium
Ltd.

Concluding its tour
through the web of
linkages which it terms
“The Kissinger Connec-
tion,” Die Stryder writes:
“Let us have no doubt: Dr
Henry Kissinger was ap-

NAMIBIA

pointed to bring SWA to
independence under Swapo
rule and-he was in his turn
appointed Lord Carrington
to assist him in the task.

It is argued that SA has
shifted its emphasis on the
Cuban question, from that
of demanding a total
withdrawal prior to final
implementation of UN
supervised elections to a
softer line which provides
for a reduction in Cuban
strength in Angola during
the implementation
process. a

“It is clear that the sharp
differences (between the
negotiating parties), must
be slowly filed down to
create more (diplomatic)
room for _ Kissinger,”
according. to Die Stryder.


END OF APARTHEID NECESSARY, SAYS PROFESSOR

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 29 Sep 82 p 8

[Text]

‘“FOR South Africa to
survive, apartheid must
die,” Professor Arrie van
Rensburg of the Depart-
ment of History at Pre-
toria University told
members of the Barclays
Executive Women’s Club
at a luncheon in Johan-
nesburg yesterday.

In posing the question
whether South Africa had

.4 chance to survive in
Africa, Prof Van Rens-
burg examined the poli-
cies and personalities of
those African leaders
who, he maintains, have a
direct influence on the fu-
ture.

He has travelled widely
in Africa and he based his
analysis on his meetings
and friendships with most
of the leaders of Africa
south of the Equator.

Africa’s importance in
the context of world pol-
itical power lay in the fact
that it had 52 countries
represented in the United
Nations. This gave them
half the votes there.
“They are using this plat-
form to get at South Afri-
ca and it would be naive
to dismiss the importance
ofthis,” he said.

He named the most im-
portant leaders in“ Africa’
today as President Shaga-
ri of Nigeria, President
Mobuto. Sese-Seko ~ .of
Zaire and President Felix

cso: 3400/17

Houphouet-Boigny of the
Ivory Coast.

“Prime Minister Ro-
bert Mugabe of Zim-
babwe is, however, the
best qualified.

Prof Van Rensburg re-
gretted that Mr Mugabe
should continually receive
a bad Press in South Afri-
ca.
“Mugabe was never a
Marxist. Nkomo was the
man the Russians sup-
ported.”

He felt that Mr Mugabe
prevented a Marxist take-
over in that country. But
should it occur, “there
will be a further swing to
the right in South Afri-
ca.”

Until, South Africa
changed its attitude to
discrimination, it would
never survive in Africa.

“We are sitting on. a
keg of dynamite which
will go up unless we
change our attitudes. We
must learn ‘to accept
Black people as human
beings — to see the per-
son behind the skin
colour.”

If this change of atti-
tude could take palce, he
said: “quality, qualifica-
tions and merit will be the
cornerstones on which the
new South Africa will be
built.”

people must have rea-
soned it out for them-
selves that no govern-
ment in the world, un-

less it is totalita-
rian, military or dic-
tatorial, would go

to the length of snuf-
fing out a language,
voire a culture, because
of sheer political supe-
riority. Governments
are for five years,demo-
cratically speaking,and
languages and cultures
are for ever. One of

the rights. Amnesty In-
ternational or such like
humanitarian organisa-
tions have never left off
fighting for the free-
dom of speech and the
freedom of choice.
Countries or govern-
ments which rely or
look up to the interna-
tional community: for
assistance and friend-
ship are usually chary
of tampering with the
rights (cultural, social,
political or religious)of
their citizens to avoid
censur2 at the UNES-
CO or at the United
Nations Human Rights
Commission. Thanks
to a decision taken in
Luxemburg against
Britain for her shabby
treatment of her racial
minorities, Mrs That-
cher’s government is
seriously examining
ways and means to
make available to
the children of the
Asian and Afri-
can immigrants the
history of their herita-

ge, «of their cultural
authenticity».
Mauritius is one of
the few countries on
the planet where world
known religions and
cultures run parallel
and sometimes even
mingle, where ethnic
groups coexist; and
complement one ano-
ther’s endeavour to
mould a national whole
vertically, if not hori-
zontally. This is what
makes it the attraction
of tourists and the
wonder of our foreign
guests. It would have
been so easy to turn
this country into ano-
ther melting pot as
they have tried else-
where. Would that
have prevented people
of such a melting pot
from harking back to
their roots ? In Ameri-
ca and nearer home, in
Reunion, slowly but
surely ethnic groups
are once more digging
up their cultural past
without which they
feel lost like a boat
without its moorings.
The languages spo-
ken here translate the
cultural journey each
group has made over
the centuries to achieve
civilisation or to deve-
lop an identity of its
own. French, English
and Hindi or each of
the other Oriental lan-
guages have been sha-
ped by centuries of re-
search ancestral values
and quest for what bri-

20

ngs individualstogether
and leads to their har-
monious development.

As languages and
means of Communica-'
tions,they have brought
together more men of
different climes and
cultures than any poli-
tical ideology or blue-
print. If as Jean Pierre
Cot put it, French is a
tool against imperia-
lism, English is the
spearhead of scientific
discourse and Hindi is
one of the direct des-
cendants of Sanskrit,
the mother of the Indo-
European languages.
Our efforts to evolve
a «national conscious-
ness» should certainly
take that in conside-
ration. Any other ap-
proach would be poli-
tically chauvinistic and
a hard blow to the
genius of our people
and reminiscent of the
irreparable harm na-
tionalism (so dear to
‘the Nazis) does to a
country. As for créole,
it is the language of
each and every inha-
bitant of this country.
Its growth should be
nurtured not by pole-
mics, but by under-
standing and its evo-
‘ution maintained by
sharing and not by im-
dosition. Everywhere,
m France, in America,
in Australia, there is
a growing concern for
aboriginal cultures as


© has to continue until all discrimination is re-
moved.

The fact that sport is almost integrated, and

, that we have just had a Human Sciences Re-
search Council probe that promises to end
the last vestiges of discrimination and at the
same time provide better funding and organi-
sation for sport for everyone, counts for
nought in the eyes of the boycotters.

To our mind, it is time our sports administrat-
ors took their gloves off and fought the South

| African Council'on Sport, as well as all the

¥ other non-White bodies that pretend nonra-
cialism but are bigots-in-reverse.

For while racialism has been almost complete-

*. ly removed from sport, these radicals are de-

* nying sportsmen, whatever their colour or
creed, the chance to compete internationally
because of a political system in this country
over which sportsmen have no control.

Just as sportsmen in Commonwealth countries
have no control over the policies of their gov-
ernments. +

“No normal sport in an abnormal society” is
the slogan of Sacos and other radical organi-
sations.

Our slogan should be: Down with Sacos and

< all who destroy normal sports contacts for
own political ends.

DODOMA REGION GROWERS EXPECT BUMPER GRAPE CROP

TANZANIA

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 23 Sep 82 p 1

[Excerpt]

GRAPEVINE growers in
Dodoma Region are likely to
break the grape production
record this year by harvesting
more than 1.3 million
kilogrammes of grapes worth
more than 7 million/- to the
growers.

The General Manager of
the Dodoma Wine Company
(DOWICO), Ndugu G. Mollo,
has told Shihata in Dodoma
that the highest production
figure of grapes reached in the
region was that of 1978 when
1.29 million kilogrammes
were harvested. - :

He said that most of the
purchased crop was Grade
One which fetched 6/- a

cso: 3400/19

kilogramme. Grade Two
grapevines fetched 5/-, he ad-
ded

He said that this was the
first time that grapes were
sold in grades. Before the
grading system became effec-
tive, grapes were sold at one
price which was 5/- a
kilogramme, he said.

Ndugu Mollo said that
most of the Grade One grapes
came from Mpunguzi Village
and some from Makutopora,
Chibelela, Mvumi and
Chipanga ‘areas.

Ten new wine processing
tanks would be installed at
the DOWICO plant in order
to. cope with the increasing

59

production of grapes, the
General Manager said.

The production of wines
has been ‘rising correspon-
dingly with the production of
grapevines by growers in
Dodoma Region.

CUBAN AID--Seychelles and Cuba are preparing to launch a small scale indus-
trial programme here following economic talks between the two Governments
in Victoria over the past two weeks. "All that remains to be done is for
both sides to formally endorse the plans drawn up during this and other
economic talks on Seychellois-Cuban development co-operation," a Planning
and Development spokesman said yesterday. The five-member Cuban delegation
led by Export Director Serrelio Rodriguez left for home on Monday after
working out the details of the industrial projects with a special

Seychelles Government team and in individual meetings with several Govern-
ment departments and parastatal companies in the fields of construction,
housing, commerce, finance, education, aviation and philately. Cuba, if
the final go-ahead is given as expected, will help Seychelles with the
expertise of finance needed. Projects under final discussion include small
factories to make coconut fibre boards, pre-fabricated housing panels, soaps
and detergents, with the emphasis being on the use of local raw materials.——

Featured inside are the progress made in Seychelles since 1977; the role
and intense activities by the units of the SPDF; main national events that
have occurred in the Republic recently and some international news that
aroused interest in Seychelles. For all sports fans: Africa and the World

‘THE Minister for Water and

‘Energy, Ndugu — Al-Noor’

Kassum, yesterday held talks
with the Director-General of the
Norwegian. Agency for Inter-.
national Development
(NORAD), Ndugu Borger A.

nth, on the possibility of
NORAD increasing assistance in
developing hydro-power
projects in Tanzania.

idugu Kassum said in an
interview after the talks which
were held in Dar es Salaam that
the fruitful discussions centred
on further Norwegian assistance
to the Ministry in developing
hydro-power projects and. in
petroleum exploration in. the”
country.

He ‘said they discussed at
length the development of the
Mtera hydro-power project and
other small power projects in
Rukwa and Kigoma regions.

On the Rufiji Basin, Ndugu
Kassum said they discussed the
need to embark on further
studies on hydro-power
potential in the Basin.

Ndugu Kassum said they had
identical views on the need to
develop the requisite
infrastructure for petroleum
development in order to
“monitor petroleum in the
country efficiently.”

PROFESSIONAL BODIES ASSOCIATION EXPRESSES UNCERTAINTY
Accra THE LEGON OBSERVER in English Vol 14, No 8, Aug 82 pp 173-175
[Editorial: "The Professionals"]

[Text] On July 21, 1982, the Association of Recognized Professional Bodies
held a press conference at which it read a Resolution (published in this
issue) which, among other things, urged the PNDC to hand over to a "Govern-
ment of National Unity" while making arrangements to return the country to
a constitutionally elected government by 1983.

This brings to mind a similar demand made of another military regime some
five years ago by the same body. In 1977, the military regime "did not
mind" the Professionals; and there is little chance that the PNDC will
hand over just because the Professionals say so. After all, as the PNDC
announced from the onset, there could be no handing-over of power which
now resides where it properly belongs: "with the people."

For their own reasons, some sections of the media are especially anxious,
it would seem, to present the Acheampong era and the present in the same
light. The suggestion is that in 1977, as at present, the regime was
seeking to establish new structures of mass-participation in government
which everybody liked--everybody, that is, except the Professionals. But
this is demonstrably false. Acheampong was an opportunist who staged a
coup in 1972, because he saw "even the little amenities" of the officer—
corps dwindling. He was one who bought support by dispensing favours in
the form of bank loans, import licences and outright cash hand-outs.
Every school boy knew Union Government was an after-thought which
Acheampong found appealing, because it had a convenient populist ring.
And it will be recalled that the campaign field was open only to "Friends"
to organise to obtain legitimacy for him, their benefactor.

In contrast to Acheampong for whom the Union Government campaign was only
a strategy for retaining power, the leaders of the present revolution
spoke, from the very beginning, of revamping the existing socio-economic
structures. In terms, specifically, of how we govern ourselves, the PNDC
held that the system under which less than two hundred citizens met at the
Castle or Parliament House to take decisions for twelve million others was
no longer tenable; we were to expect new structures in which all of us
would participate in decision-making, all of us.


SOUTH AFRICA

POSSIBLE SUSPENSION FROM COMMONWEALTH GAMES REPORTED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 29 Sep 82 p 6

(Editorial: "Hit Back"]

[Text]

SOUTH AFRICAN sport: is heading for
more trouble.

A special assembly of the Commonwealth
Games Federation has provisionally agreed
to a draft code of conduct and sanctions
aimed at strengthening the 1977 Gleneagles
declaration discouraging sports contacts with
South Africa.

If approved by a two-thirds majority at a gen-
eral assembly of the federation next week,
the code will make a country liable to suspen-
sion from the Commonwealth Games if it
breaches the declaration.

New Zealand, because of the Springbok rugby
tour, is cited as an example of what the or-
ganisers of this new boycott move have in

- mind when they talk of expulsion.

That the boycott organisers are hypocrites
goes without saying.

The Commonwealth Secretary-General, Sir
Shridath Rampal, comes from Guyana,
where East Indians, who make up about half
the million or so population, are repressed by
what a London paper called a “tinpot semi-
dictatorship.”

Another country which is a moving spirit be-
hind the ew sanctions move is Kenya, which.
is a one-party State and where a coup at-
tempt has just been put down.

Nigeria, with the blood of thousands of Biaf-
Tans conveniently forgotten, is also involved.
And there are other Commonwealth countries
which do not stand up to scrutiny, including
India, with its inhuman treatment of Un-
touchables; Zimbabwe, whose rulers once
engaged in a beastly terrorist war and are

~“fiow taking the country in the direction of a
one-party State; Zambia, for years a one-
party State, which brutally repressed a Black
religious sect, and Bangladesh, which came
into existence amid awful bloodshed.

All this is of no consequence.

South Africa is boycotted — and the track re-
cord of its accusers and the instigators of the
banis not considered relevant.

South Africa must be isolated — and the fact
that politics is dragged into sport, making a
mockery of the high ideals which are suppos-

;,ed to be part of sport everywhere, is con-
veniently ignored.

So, unless thére is any last-minute opposition
the code is likely to be approved next week.

It will still be possible for individual-sportsmen
and sports bodies to defy the ban.

The British Government puts pressures on
sports administrators not to send teams tc
South Africa, but stops short of banning the
players from coming here.

If this attitude is. continued, the British rugby
unions may still defy their Government’s
wishes.

Similarly, the rugby administrators of New
Zealand, when the time comes, may decide
to. stick by their principles and tour South
Africa.

The pressures on sports bodies, however, will
grow extreme if, by continuing contacts with
South Africa, they jeopardise their countries’
membership of the Commonwealth Games.

Meanwhile, at home, there is no likelihood of
sports integration being reversed despite

“ conservative opposition. Indeed, the process


CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM--Cape Town——Progress towards constitutional reform
would be influenced by the Government's success in convincing its voters of
the desirability of change, the Vice State President, Mr Alwyn Schlebusch,
said yesterday. Opening the convention of the World Council of Young Men's
Service Clubs in Cape Town, Mr Schlebusch said South Africa was currently
in the throes of far-reaching change towards a society where the dreams and
aspirations of all its peoples could be accommmodated. "But may I remind you
that government cannot be, but by the consent of the governed. In other
words, progress on our chosen path of reformation will of necessity be
influenced by the Government's success in convincing its voters of the
desirability of change." South Africans would have to be inspired to
accept that change was inevitable. "Our Government is cognizant of the
risk involved in sudden or forced change. One can therefore expect that
the formation of our new era of concensus will be a gradual process. How-
ever let there remain no doubt as to our intentions to work towards our
goal constantly and enthusiastically and with every fibre of our being.

We are aware of the view that time may not be on our side, but we are con—
fident of ultimately attaining our goals because we believe in our cause."

AZAPO MAN--Durban--Barclays Bank has reinstated a Black Consciousness leader,
Mr Bradley Potgieter, 20, who was dismissed because of the adverse publicity
his conviction for wearing a banned T-shirt brought the company. In a letter
yesterday the general manager of Barclays (Natal), Mr J. H. McKenzie, told
Mr Potgieter the bank would be pleased to have him back in its employ on

the understanding he would at all times comply with the standard rules
applicable to all members of the bank staff and at the salary level
previously applicable. The bank's decision to take Mr Potgieter back

comes a day before the deadline set by his attorneys after which the

matter would have been taken to the Industrial Court for arbitration.

Mr Potgieter, chairman of the Durban Branch of the Azanian Peoples'
Organisation, was fired on September 8.--Sapa. [Text] [Johannesburg THE

NUDO PARTY OFFICIAL ON SOUTH AFRICAN ROLE
MB221502 Windhoek WINDHOEK OBSERVER in English 18 Sep 82 p 12

[Excerpts] Windhoek--Bloodshed was not precluded from the future struggle
to bring South West Africa to independence, but should that come about,
then South Africa must be held responsible, said Mr Katnutire Kaura, the
publicity secretary of the political movement NUDO [National United
Democratic Organizaion].

The political party is probably the main prop of the Turnhalle Alliance,
and Mr Kaura, so often described as the alliance's rising star, convoked
the press conference in response to last Monday's statement by the prime
minister of South Africa, Mr P. W. Botha, who made it clear that there
must be a reshuffle in the interim government system in South West Africa.

Mr Kaura said that South Africa had shirked its responsibilities to guide
the people of South West Africa along the road of constitutional develop-
ment which should lead to full independence and sovereignty.

Instead, Mr P. W. Botha, had chosen to place the blame on the DTA [Democratic
Turnhalle Alliance] interim government. Mr Kaura described this as tragic
and said that in the long run this decision by Mr Botha would be disastrous
to him.

He told the press that South Africa was totally and entirely mistrusted
by the world. These latest movements by the prime minister were going to
aid the process of destruction of the credibility of South Africa.

He said for political expediency in what he called the "synthetic" temporary
games, Mr Botha had chosen to place the blame on the Turnhalle Alliance.

Mr Kaura said the statement by Mr Botha in which he said that the DTA
government was inefficient was not only shocking, but puzzling, in view
of the fact that the prime minister himself and the administrator general,
his representative in Windhoek, had forced the DIA to govern fettered,
with chians and restricting its ability to govern effectively.

The prime minister had made it impossible for the DTA to govern and he
should now place the blame of that inefficiency squarely on his own shoulders.

SQUATTERS OCCUPY LAND IN MUTARE

Harare THE HERALD in English 20 Sep 82 p 3

[Text]

MORE than 90 000 squatters are now occupying
land in the Mutare Rural Council, district ad-

ministrator, Cde Peter
Mahuni, has said,

The squatters have
settled on fully operation-
al commercial farms and
dense indigenous forest
land in the picturesque
Vumbsa mountains special-
ly set aside for no devel-
opment.

They have also begun
moving in and cutting
down timber in the Bunga
Forest Reserve.

Cde Mehuni said it was
difficult to remove the
‘squatters because the
exercise would involve
several] Government min-
istries and because the
people were well organ-
ised. “If you want to see
them you have to go
through party structures
before you can speak to
them,” he said. -

‘The squatters even sent
representatives to his
office asking for schools
and clinics, “I am now

used to meeting different’

delegations from different
areas bringing in their
grievances, Some even
leave with me their dona-
tions for the new ZANU
(PF) headquarters,” he
said.

Most of the squatters in
the Yumba area owned
houses in Mutare’s sub-
urbs of Sakubva and
Dangamvura, which they
leased to lodgers.

“Some of them work in
the industries here and
get easy transport to
town, or even walk to
their places of work,” he
said.

He believed a solution
would be found “soon”,
but did not elaborate. The
fina) decision rested with
the Ministry of Lands,
Resettlement and Rural
Development, he said,

@ All animals grazing op
two Government farms
on a temporary grazing
scheme in Gwanda should
be removed by the end of
October to allow for the
resettling of people on
the farms, the Deputy
Minister of Lands, Reset-
tlement and Rural Devel-
opment, Cde Mark Dube
has said,

He was speaking at &
district. meeting with
councillors in Gwanda.
The farms had been al-
locatead for temporary
grazing because people
there had said they were
not urgently ia need of
land for resettlement.

“You were allowed to
do thig on a temporary
basis. But now there is
no grass left, so please
remove your cattle from
the farms,” Cde Dube
‘said. \ ,

He said although peo-
ple had filled th resettle-
ment forms, ‘most of them

72

had been misted by coun-
cillors and ended up out-
ting “grazing” as their
reason for being on the
land. .

He said the importance
of cattle was not under-
estimated but since there
was do grass left on the
farms, the people should
remove their cattle and al-
low for resettlement to
start before the rainy sea-
son,

The councillors sald the
people had not yet brought
up the problem of being
settled. “What they want
is land for grazing their
cattle which are dying in
large numbers.”

They suggested that

As he stood on the pavement he saw the car careening towards him and jumped
aside. But the tree with which the car had collided fell on him and he
recovered consciousness in the Boksburg Benoni Hospital, having sustained
back and neck injuries. He is in a satisfactory condition.

One of Mr Coetzer's friends, Mr Manie Joubert (32), was on his way home
with his wife and family when he heard the shots.

He heard someone shout that there were terrorists about and his first
thought was for the safety of his wife, Elsa, and his children, Tiekie (8),
Nita (6) and Elsie (3). He bundled them into his car and drove off,
forgetting to switch on the lights.

W/O Bredenham, seeing the car being driven away at high speed without
lights, thought it also contained terrorists and fired at it, wounding
Mr Joubert in the left knee.

Mr Joubert, of Fless Street, State Mines, Brakpan, was admitted to the

Commander Andre looked and acted tough. But it was not an act as his men
were quick to point out. Their stories of his courage were unbelievable.

Two months later, near Vila Paiva de Andrada, while charging a Russian-made
tank single-handed, Andre was blown to pieces by the well-trained Cubans
manning the turret guns.

Dhlakama has since had the unenviable task of living up to the legendary
image created by his predecessor among the tough bush fighters.

He has survived the test and is now the respected leader of a well organised
guerilla army estimated to be about 14,000-strong.

Like Andre, Dhlakama, better known as "Jacamo," is a former Frelimo comman-
dant. Both shared a burning hatred of the marxist dictatorship imposed by
Samora Machel on Mozambique after the Portuguese surrender.

But while Andre was just a superb fighting machine Dhlakama is a level-
headed soldier and a shrewd administrator. Frelimo had been grooming him
for a high post in the military hierarchy.

Dhlakama enjoys the advantages of a higher education than Andre. Now in
his early 30s, he was educated at a mission school and the Zobue seminary
before enrolling at the Beira Commercial School.

Conscripted into the Portuguese army during the war against Frelimo he
defected to join the "liberation forces."

After the Portuguese handover to Frelimo in 1974, Dhlakama underwent a crash
logistics course and was promoted to quartermaster at the Beira headquarters.

There he met Andre, who was in charge of the engineering division of the
army. Strongly opposed to Machel's marxist policies, they defected together
to join the resistance bush fighters.

Last May, Dhlakama chaired the first RNM Congress “inside Mozambique," as
the Movement's president and commander-in-chief of its armed forces.

The Prisoners

Under guard--a member of the RNM stands watch over four Portuguese
prisoners being interviewed by Mr Orlando Cristina, secretary general of
the guerilla movement.

They have been released but the RNM has since taken six Bulgarians captive.
The Bulgarians were working for the Frelimo Government and the Bulgarian

charge d'affaires in Maputo, Mr Metodi Dikov, has confirmed the capture
but has not said what action is to be taken to secure their release.

FISH CATCH DOWN--A disappointing 1982 pelagic fishing season ended for
Namibia last week with catches down by one fifth over that of last year.
This emerges from figures confirmed by the Secretary for Economic Affairs,
Mr Piet Kruger, as final for the season which ended September 15 this year.
The value of the fish landed at Walvis Bay factories is down by R1,345m

or 58,000 tons (23 percent) compared with last year when some 253,000 tons
valued at approximately R10,120m were locally caught and landed. Mr Kruger
said this season was a disappointing one but there was hope that the sit-
uation might improve next year. During the last few days of the season,
local trawlers were forbidden to fish north of Swakopmund where large
pilchard shoals had made their appearance. [Text] [Windhoek THE WINDHOEK

TANZANIA and Zambia are
‘to work out a temporary
‘arrangement under which

7,000 tonnes of Zambian
cargo which have been lying

at the Dar es Salaam Port for
three years now would be
transported to Zambia.

A two-man Zambian
delegation led by the coun-

Tanzania, Ndugu M.M.
Liswaniso, yesterday visited
the port to assess the piled up
cargo which has been lying at
the port since 1980.

The delayed removal of the
cargo had been brought about
by Zambian importers’ failure
to make timely clearance of
their goods, according to the
Acting General Manager of
the National Shipping Agen-
cies Company (NASACO),
Ndugu D.A. Mwaikambo.

Zambian importers could
not clear. their goods from the
port ‘because they lost the
necessary clearing documents,
he said.

The arrangement, he said,
was designed to remove the
cargo without the necessary
clearing documents. -

He said it would be the
second time that the two

RESETTLEMENT OF SQUATTERS REPORTED

Harare THE HERALD in English 21 Sep 82 p 3

[Text]

INYOZANI farm, on which 146 squatter houses have been built, has room
for only 58 families the squatters were told yesterday.

The district administrator for Filabusi, Cde Philip Bhebhe, visited the
farm to name those who qualified for resettlement and to order the others to

leave.

Cde Bhebhe, who was
accompanied by the dis-
trict resettlement officer,
Cde Gilbert Nhamo, said
those who qualified for
resettlement but could not
be accommodated at Inyo-
zani would be sent to
other schemes elsewhere in
Filabusi.

He told the squatters
who pleaded with him to
be: allowed to stay, that
they had not bothered to
ask him before they
meres 2d good pleadia

“It's no pleading
with me to fave you here
because when you came
you did aot ask my per-
mission.”

Some squatters accused
Se: ; or Chief Kayisa Ndi-
wenl of misleading them
into believing they could
settle on the farm without
waiting for official sanc-

tioning.

Cde Nhamo said the
eriteria for resettlement
on ‘':e farm was that one
had to come from Fila-
busi district, and had to
be needy or a refugee.

‘The squatters were divi-
ded into three groups —
those from Filabusi who
qualified, those who did
not and those from out-
side Filabusi.

After the first screening
to find the 58 who may

stay on the farm, 45’were
chosen.

Cde Nhamo said the re-
settlement scheme for In-
yozani provided for a vil-
lage complex, land for
ploughing and a grazing
area,

He said all the squatters
— whether they qualified
or not — had to demolish
their homes to enable the
resettlement officers” to
put the plan into effect.

‘OUTSIDERS’ '

“Their present scattered
settlements fall outside the
resettlement plan,” he
said. He ordered all those
from outside Filabusi to
leave with their cattle.

“lm aware of the
statement by the Minis-
ter of Lands, Resettlement
and Rural Development,
but my instructions are
that this place must be
reserved for the 58 fami-
es who have qualified.”

He was referring to
Cde Moven Mahachi’s
statement at the weekend
that the squatters must
be treated as human
beings and that their
cattle would be left on
the farm because of the
drought,

The Prime Minister,
Cde Mugabe, said ia Bula-
wayo on Friday that the
resettlement of the land-
less must be done ac-

The moderamen told
the synod it raised the is-
sue last year with the
Prime Minister, Mr PW
Botha, and the then Min-
ister of the Interior, Mr A
L Schlebusch. .

‘The moderamen also
asked that:

© No furtiitr removais
of families should take
place from District Six in
Cape Town;

© District Six should be
seen as the traditional
residential area of the
Coloured and Malay com-
munity and should be
given to it for develop-
ment;

© Any portion of Dis:
trict Six set aside for busi-
ness should be open to oc-
cupation by: all races.

The moderamen also
asked Mr Botha to res-
cind the Mixed Marriages
Act and Section 16 of the
Immorality Act.

Tt was subsequently in-
vited to join the Anglican
Church in new  ap-
proaches to the govern-
ment for the removal of
both pieces of legislation.

Sendingkerk To Change Name?

‘ CAPE TOWN. — The NG Sendingkerk, a predomi-
nantly Coloured church, may change its name to give it
an identity that cannot be confused with the White NG
church.

This has emerged at the four-yearly synod of the
church. The meeting was told that because different
churches of the NG family might unite — a matter still
to be discussed at the synod — it would be unwise to
select a new name at this stage.

One of the new names proposed is the United Reform
Church. The present name — translated as the Dutch
Reformed Mission Church — is unpopular among some
members because the “‘mission”’ was.determined by the
NG Church in establishing a separate ethnic church for
“Coloured people” in 1881. — Sapa.

The support the PNDC has drawn
seems genuine enough. We do not recall
any protests by the Professionals against
the PNDC’s intentions for the country
when they were first announced. But
thus far, the new structures and processes
that were promised have not emerged.
This may well be what is causing unzasi-
ness among the Professionals: that omi-
bus participation is far from being the
case in the scheme of things currently ob-
taining; that the PDC Guidelines explictily
seek to exclude some; and now it seems
the murder of three judges and an ex-
army officer is nothing to fuss about, con-
sidering there have been other deaths,
both here and elsewhere, as cynically
remarked in press and radio commen-
tares.

Restiveness is to be detected also
in others besides the Professionals;
for instance, all those many people who
converge daily on the Passport Office. To
be sure, the desperate urge to leave the
country has been with us longer than
the PNDC has been in office, but
it seems to have intensified lately
rather than diminish. Could it be that the
new wave of emigrants does not have a
proper appreciation of the Revolution
yet? Or is it that it does not feel it is play-
ing a purposeful or satisfying role?

Even activists in the Revolution must
be somewhat confused on account of the
number of unresolved issues. For exam-
ple: “Enemies of the Revolution” — Are
they to be liquidated or not? Revolution-
ary rhetoric and denunciation, by spokes-
men of the Revolution, of recent fatalities
(whoever the culprits) are hardly
reconcilable. Another example: Masonic
Lodges — Are they compatible with the
Revolution? If not, as seems to be implied
by the revolutionary media, why was
Father Damuah, who has now reportedly
resigned from the PNDC, forever remons-
trating with those who see it as their duty
to descrate Masonic Temples?

Again: PDCs — Is it properly under-
stood that they are the bedrock of the
new democracy? Why then, do we pro-
voke protests by the PDCs and the
resignation of the Sercetary for Local
Government by proposing a four-tier
Local Government structure which
ignores the PDCs altogether? And
Ideology—Is the controversy disposed
of merely by the removal, in response to
PDC demands, of Mr. B. B. D. Asamoah
from the position of Secretary to the
PNDC? True, we have not had any more
anti-socialist rhetoric since Mr. Asa-
moah’s fall, but where does the issue
stand when the PNDC Chairman himself
only speaks of “commitment”? Finally,
are nationals and non-national residents
free to form clubs or societies to provide
for social interaction among members?
Some PDCs think not, and have proceed-
ed to place an embargo on the operations
of some clubs.

Not even the “June Four Movement”
(JFM) is altogether certain about what
the nation has embarked upon. In the
editorial of July 14 — 20, the Workers’
Banner, organ of the JFM, wonders whe-
ther, indeed, there is a revolution under
way or We are merely engaged in a “re-
form”, The Banner insists that, if we are
jn a revolution, we should be seeing
activity at the Teshie firing range, even
identifying, by name, possible targets.

The Professionals’ Resolution is pos-
sibly a reflection of a more widespread
feeling of uncertainty which is yet to find
general articulation. Precisely how wide-
spread is not easy to say now; and it does
not really matter. What matters is the
need to clarify the objectives of the Re-
volution and its processes in the light of
a state of affairs that no one can deny
is confused. It matters also to begin to
foster an atmophere in which co-opera-
tion from all and sundry in salvaging the
country can be expected; for, whatever
