Flawed establishment of the control organs on the level of the regional agencies
and provincial directorates of the ministry and the state wholesale enterprises,
essentially due to the lack of qualifications among the workers assigned to

the area; ,

Lack of home trade district directorates in most of the districts;

Slackening of the activity of the district supply commissions and of the
control organized by the party and ODM [Mozambican Defense Organization] on
the various levels;

Lack of an organ to direct and coordinate the inspection on the national level;
Inadequate operation of the communications facilities;

Slackening in the enforcement of the laws and regulations approved with regard
to the repression of the crimes of speculation, hoarding and diversion of
products;

Increase in corruption and decline in ethics among individuals involved in, or
with responsibility for the control of distribution, both in the administrative
organs and in the organizations for people's control.

The consolidation and expansion of distribution control includes taking the
following action scheduled for 1985:

Assignment of responsibility to the national distribution enterprises (units
of the control and distribution directorate) for the products in their cate-
gories;

Consolidation of the control sectors on the level of the state apparat and the
enterprises;

Mechanical processing of the control data;
Introduction of planning and control of distribution in retail trade;

Creation of the inspection department and reorganization of the provincial
organs;

Combination of the methodology for control of the people's supply plan with the
workers' control by the distribution and marketing control commissions.

Reduction in the Marketing Margin and the Number of Middlemen

The results of this endeavor are closely related to the extension of provincial
wholesale activity to the districts, the development of the cooperative move-
ment and the policy on prices.

Our Provincial Wholesalers, E.E. ‘make sales even on the retail level and in
other sectors of consumption. This is so either because they have district

TANZANIA

BRIEFS

NYERERE CRITICIZES SUPER POWER AID--Oslo, 29 May (Shihata/PANA)-~
Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere has criticized the super powers for
pushing the New International Economic Order off the agenda of world
issues. Speaking at a state dinner in Oslo given in his honor by the
Norwegian prime minister, Kare Willoch, the president criticized the
attitude of the big powers to the plight of the people in Africa.

When the big powers meet, they express sympathy for the world's poor,
but make their economic decisions as if these did not impinge on the
declining standards of living of developing countries, President Nyerere
said, adding that the big powers have scorned the demand of developing
countries for aid. Nyerere praised Norway and the Nordic countries

in general for their understanding of the plight of the poor. The
diplomatic and practical support given by Norway and other Nordic
countries to the demand for international economic reforms is the more
appreciated because it is becoming increasingly a voice in the wilderness,
he added. [Text] [Dakar PANA in English 1017 GMT 29 May 85]

of education, we are waiting for the Education Unit to see if it is really go-
ing to think out education and let Mauritius know. We do not want an Education
Unit just for the sake of having one, just as we do not want an Island Council
just to make the Rodriguan shut his mouth.

We want to know the intentions of Mauritius as far as Rodrigues is concerned.
Are they intentions that will give Rodrigues an autonomous status or the status
of a district?

[Question] Do you have opportunities to explain all this to the government
to which you belong?

[Answer] It's a shame to have to say it. The minister of Rodrigues and the
outer islands says that Serge Clair belongs to a coordinating committee. But
that coordinating committee does not play the role it should. I have never
seen any serious work accomplished by a coordinating committee that can only
meet every 4 or 5 months.

As for the general policy applying to Rodrigues, I am sorry to say that we have
never been consulted. As leader of the OPR, I have never been approached by
anyone wanting to ask for my help or consult me concerning this or that policy

or this or that. project.

So what I am wondering is this: are not Rodriguan abilities being ignored?
Does anyone really call on Rodriguan skills? I wonder whether Mauritius is
not perpetuating a completely colonial mentality as regards Rodrigues and the
Rodriguan people. As leader of the OPR, I must say that I observe and do not
understand the government's attitude in not calling upon Serge Clair when it
comes to a policy for Rodrigues. I could have expressed the OPR's program,
the OPR's thinking, and so on through the projects involved.

[Question] Is the government's program a long way from that of the OPR?

[Answer] Government action is quite far from the OPR in the sense that in our
view, government action does not give Rodriguans the impression that they are
free to run their country and does not show them that there is some opportunity
for the Rodriguan people within the Mauritian nation. Mauritius still has the
attitude that it is going to bring about development for the Rodriguan people
instead of doing so through the Rodriguan people--that is, with their partici-
pation. The inhabitants therefore have the impression that they are cornered,
like they were before 1976.

[Question] Are you uncomfortable in the government?

[Answer] Uncomfortable when an effort is made to subordinate human and indi-
vidual conscience and freedom of expression on very specific issues to what is
called government solidarity. Uncomfortable when, after so many months of ob-
servation, I see that Rodriguan abilities are not taken into consideration,
that colonial and paternalistic relations are being perpetuated, and that con-
siderations of petty politics take precedence over service and the love that
one can have for one's country and the Rodriguans. The Rodriguan that I am

He said the migrant re-
cruiting figure did not
include commuters who
crossed the borders dai-
ly, or recruiting done on
behalf of the mining
houses.

The department had
not only improved the

_quantity of job opportu-

nities for the nation, but
it had endeavoured also
to improve the quality of
its recruitment and
selection processes.

They had achieved a
large measure of success
with the introduction of
behavioural courses and
“psychometric testing”
of as many workseekers
as_possible.

Dismissals and re-
trenchments would con-
tinue to plague Southern
Africa for some time to
come, and it would be
the black worker who
would bear the brunt of
these hard times.

os SECRETARY GENERAL DIS

SES MORK OF ORGANIZATION .. - aoe

Maputd polka’ in Portuguese 5 May’ 85 P 3 a

{Text ] Last week, the secretary general of the OJM [Mozambique Youth organiza
tion],° Zacatias Rupéla, “declared that Youth Week, which has taken place since
Saturday. throughout | the entire national territory, will enable all the people
"to reflect on ‘the 1 ‘years of our independence, and assess the conquests made
during this*périod by the armed struggle for national liberation." He was
responding to one of the questions put to him during the interview that he
granted to our weekly lication and to TVE,.in connection with the marking
of the beh “annive of ‘indépendence. :

He emp! asized tl at this “week "ig a time for. the youth to reaffirm its involve=
merit “in the “defense of the revolutionary conquests." He cited the conquests
pertaining to the youth in particular as: the fatherland, schools, occupational
training and employment, knowledge of the country and the releage of its. creative
initiative, among others.

He remarked: "Independence itself is a great, unprecedented conquest. It has
enabled us to win the fatherland which did not belong to us; the fatherland for
which the Mozambican people, and the youth in particular, yearned so much. To
have a fatherland is to be proud ‘of being Mozambican;‘it means being able to
live freely, study, work and move about in this vast’ territory, which we could
not do during the colonial period." .

Zacarias Kupela admitted: "We realize and know that not everyone ‘has tasted’ the
fruit of independence, but the opportunities for doing so which exist today are
greater, and the youth of today has a prospect for life.". In response to
another question, he also mentioned the areas in which the youth have most
participated in the national reconstruction tasks, stressing the defense ‘of ‘the
territorial integrity, production and-attaching value to our cultural heritage.

In this latter respect, the OJM secretary general said: “Assuming our tesponsi-
bilities for promoting the cultural heritage, we young people are ‘now engaged. in
activities ranging from dance, singing and poetry to literature,arts‘and crafts
production and even the publicizing of our country's realities, as in the case-
of journalists and writers. This cultural participation in education and'in .
conveying the world situation is particularly important in preventing the -youth
of Mozambique from living in isolation, rather enabling them. to become familiar
with their country and the world."

ECONOMIC PROSPECTS CONSIDERED BLEAK

[Text]

MORE HARDSHIP is

in store for

businesses and consumers alike in the
current quarter and there is little

Mr Steve Schofield,
General Manager of
Barclays Bank in .South
West Africa, said-the pre-
sent difficult circumstances
would continue until in-
terest rates came down
significantly.

- The Namibian economy
was being hit not only by
the effects of the drought,
low mineral prices and the
recession, but interest rates
as high as 32%.

“This is bound to con-
tinue to affect the man in
the street, the farmers and
businessmen,” Mr
Schofield said.

While it -was possible
that interst .rates might
drop slighily this quarter,
times would still be hard.
* The problem facing the

cso: 3400/328

Government ‘was that it
needed sto keep interest
rates high in order to
reduce the money supply in
the fight against inflation.

Because of the Govern-
ment’s tight monetary

ficient wage restraint in the

and interest rates did not

‘Mr Tony: Biehler, the

businesses were continuing
to feel the pinch and as the
remaining profit margin
became smaller and smal-
ler _ businessmen —_ were
wondering whether. the
squeeze on spending was
not going too far.

He said the Government
should perhaps put more
money into the economy,
-despite the effects _ this

would have on inflation.’

“Maybe this is just
something we will have to
accept,” he said.

Mr Biehler said_ there
was the chance of some

In its latest opinion sur-
vey,. the Stellenbosch.
University Bureau - for
Economic ,Research says
that with prices spiralling
ever upwards and busines-
ses unable to absorb price
increases, there was little
hope at the moment for a
drop in inflation.

Sapa reports that the
Bureau noted a decline in
almost all sectors of the
South African economy
during the first quarter of
this year compared with

the first quarter of 1984. ;

General expectations
were for a further relative
deterioration.

Manufacturers said in-
sufficient demand and the
high ‘cost of ‘working
capital hampered their
operations and wholesalers
and retailers both expected
their . average - purchase
prices’ to -increase -at a
faster ‘rate during the se-
cond quarter.

They were not prepared
to absorb “these’-cost in-
creases and they therefore
expected selling prices to
increase at a faster rate,

KATJIUONGUA DEFENDS TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 3 May 85 p 7

cso:

3400/328

THE PRESENT was

“dark, bleak and un-

compromising” but time had shown that a solution
for Namibia would never come “like manna from
heaven”, the leader of the MPC-aligned Swanu fac-
tion, Mr Moses Katjiuongua said.

He felt the proposed

MPC transitional govern-
ment offered a chance to
do away with the status
quo and improve the situa-
tion. :
“Anything that can take
us out of the present mess
and aims at offering
something more promising
is welcome.

“Iam not saying we
cannot fail but I’d rather
make mistakes from ‘try-
ing.” a

He had no interest in

participating in the tran-.

sitional government ‘otter

‘than to work for change

for “the broad masses of
our country”. ” i

“Péople” “like | |’ ° Mr
Shipanga and myself have
never been part of the past.
‘We are putting our heads
on the “block,” Mr Kat-
jiuongua ‘said.

“We are taking part on
the clear understanding
that SA will not interfere
and that our colleagues are
willing’ to be “part of
change”.

The part other: MPC
parties played would be
important.

“If any of my colleagues
proves to be a stumbling
block in working for
meaningful change in the
conditions of the
majority — the black
people — we will just have
to get out.” .

‘Mr Katjiuongua said he
felt a strange convuluted
form of nationalism was
developing and the MPC

“jnitiative would give a:cer-

tain. momentum’ to -the
political process.

“People are looking for
change and at. this. time
éyeryone should . unite in
this search, irrespective of
their. political beliefs: and

“background. ~~

“We ‘should ‘use every
method to induce South

“Africa to get out. of this

country without, in the
process, sacrificing our
right to rule ourselves or
the sovereignty of our
country in the long-term,”
Mr Katjiuongua ‘said.

COMMENTARY ON ROLE OF POLITICAL PARTIES
Durban POST NATAL in English 8-11 May 85 p 6
[article by Ameen Akhalwaya]

{Text]

HAT do you
think is the role
of a political

party? |

Do you believe it
should exploit unpopular
measures introduced by
the ruling party?

Do you think it should
use every opportunity,
for political purposes, to
latch onto grievances
such as an increase in
General Sales Tax, gen-
eral price increases,
higher bus fares in a
weak economy?

If you say, “of course”
you're in trouble.

Last week, the Minis-
ter of Law and Order,
Louis le Grange, in con-

_ demning the United
‘ Democratic Front, ac-
cused the UDF of using
every opportunity, for
_ political purposes, to
ilateh onto grievances
;such as GST increase,
: general price increases
{andsoon. .
i ‘The Minister’s accusa-
"tion followed attacks on
‘the UDF by State Presi-
ident PW Botha. .
} Mr le Grange made se-
‘yous allegations against
ithe UDF, among them,
}that it was an internal
‘wing. of the outlawed
African National Con-
{ gress and the SA Com-
* munist Party. And he ac-
‘cused the UDF of being

at the head of the unrest
in South Africa.
. Let’s leave that aside
for a moment and look
instead at Mr le Grange’s
accusation that the UDF
is exploiting grievances
\olitical purposes.
The attack on the UDF
is not the main issue
here; rather, it is the
principle.
- People who have long
memories will tell you
that prior to the 1948 all-
white general elections,
the National Party fully
exploited the fears and
the grievances of Afri-

kaners.

The United Party was
then in power, and its
leader, General Jan
Smuts, had become an in-
ternational statesman for
his role on the side of the
Allies against Hitler’s
Nazis.

General Smuts also
was an inspiration in the
launching of the United
Nations.

84

That didn’t stop the
Nats. They exploited the
grievances of the poorer
Afrikaners during the
post-war economic
slump. They exploited
Afrikaner fears about
being swamped by blacks
and exploited by the Eng-
lish.

If the Nats had not ex-
ploited those grievances,
if they had sat back and
talked about- government

‘by consensus, they

wouldn’t have ‘taken con-
trol of the country (and
we might all have been
better off).

Exploitation of griev-
ances is the legitimate
tactic of any group in a
multi-party system. It is
so self-evident, yet the
Nats, having been in
power — and having
abused it — for so long,
seemed to forget it.

Presently, the
Progressive Federal

Party in the white as-
sembly is exploiting
grievances for political
purposes. It attacks the

Government for its hand- .

ling of the economy, for
its handling bf black af-
fairs, for tax) and cost of
living increases and
other measures (far more
potently, incidentally,
than’ do parties in the
other two parliamentary
chambers).

Does the Government
threaten action against
PFP leader, Van Zyl

Slabbert, or for that mat-

ter, any other PFP MP?
If the Government is
really looking for people
who are exploiting griev-
ances, it might well take

a look at the activities of .

some Herstigste Nasion-
ale Party or Conserva-
tive Party Members.
‘They unashamedly ex-
ploit grievances of white.

manufacturing factory in

maintained its workforce of
120 workers even though itis
going through a particularly
difficult period.

“. On-a positive note he

disclosed that he had struck
amarket in South Africa and

. the second in Britain even

though Zimbabwe still
remained the largest importer
of Image's products.

Speaking In an interview
with BOPA, Mr Fernando
Ricardo, Manager of Infinity
Textile Factory here, said his
firm had already retrenched
30 workers because of
dimished production due to
market scarcity.

Mr Ricardo stated that he
was left with 11 employees,
and warned that if the market
situation did not improve,
‘more workers could lose their
jobs. °

The Manager of Associated
Industries Mr Abdul Mottiar

. Iitformed BOPA that the delay

in'the approval of costings

by Zimbabwe for his firm
was Causing concern.

Like other textile
companies, Associated
Industries has laid off 10
workers. It could lay off 10
more if the situation does not
improve.

Mr Mottiar disclosed that
last year he had 40employees
and now he has only 18. He
promised that if his firm's
costings are approved then,
he would engage more
workers. He howeversaid that
if things got worse they could
even close down. -

Another local firm whose
manager was not available
for commentwas said to have
given its workers one month
notice to enable them to find
other places of work, as the
firm faces a possible closure
unless markets opportunities
show an upward trend.

Employees of the firm
confirmed that they had been
told that the firm might close
down atthe end of the month.

PRETORIA'S LACK OF LONG-RANGE PLANNING FOR COUNTRY DISCUSSED

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 3 May 85 p 3

[Article by Max Du Preez]

[Text]

JOHANNESBURG: Namibian independence elec-
tions under UN supervision could start in the next
18 months. But it is equally possible that it could
take up to three or more years.

The reality is that there
is no Namibian blueprint in
Pretoria. For that matter,
Pretoria does not even
have a blueprint for South
Africa’s own future. Policy
changes are made ad hoc,
depending on what. crisis |
they have on their hands at
that moment.

It will pay Namibian
politicians and busines-
smen to keep in mind that;
their Territory is not only

agenda, it has shifted to:
near bottom on Pretoria’s
agenda. As the Mozambi-.
que resistance movement.

Few serious analysts in
government really believe
that the MPC will ever
beat Swapo in an election,
but at least they could stop
Swapo from getting a two
thirds majority and form a
strong opposition.

The transitional govern-
ment is also a device to
mark time while it is
politically inconvenient for
SA to have a UN election

MINISTER SAYS LABOR IS CISKEI'S MAIN EXPORT COMMODITY

East London DAILY DISPATCH in English 10 May 85 p 4

[Text]

BISHO — Ciskei’s plenti-
ful supply of labour
remained the country’s
main export commodity,
the Minister of Manpow-
er Utilisation, Mr G. M.
Mpepo, said yesterday.

Delivering his policy
speech in the National
Assembly he said that in
order to “sell” their pro-
duct, a sophisticated re-
cruitment and market-

ing network was essen- ‘

tial.
His department had
assisted numerous em-

ployer organisations ;
within Ciskei to find =

suitable employees.

He said he was!

pleased that several
foreign investors in Cis-
kei had complimented
them on.the calibre of
worker they had pro-
vided and on their abil-
ity to learn new indust-
rial skills quickly.

Mr Mpepo said his de-
partment’
also been directed at the
South African labour
market, which was high-
ly competitive. With a
few exceptions, their re-
lationship with South
African employers had
grown from strength to
strength. .

“We have provided the
required labour expedi-
tiously and remain in
touch as far as possible
with our citizens, so as to
ensure that they are con-
tented and well tre-
ated,” he said.

“In fact, we have re-
ceived praise from the
RSA Government for the

's efforts had :

70

efficient manner in
which we have honoured
the labour agreement
between our two coun-
tries.”

He said this was a
sound foundation upon
which they intended to
build in the future, so as
to provide even more job
opportunities for their
eager workers.

Officials ‘from his de-
partment had made
numerous visits to
various parts of South ,
Africa last year to seek ;
out employment oppor-
tunities. 5

Discussions were held |
with 76 employer orga- |
nisations and this re-/
sulted in additional em-
ployment being found
for ‘about 1000 workers. '

Mr Mpepo said that de-,

.spite the recessionary
period they had been ex-
{periencing, their total
migrant recruitment fi-,
gure for 1984 compared |
very favourably with the:
preceding year and ab-;
out 22000 Ciskeians!
were assisted n finding
| employment in South
| Africa, resulting in an’
estimated income of R55
‘million or an average
R250 per month per!
worker. !

Successful agreements |
-had been concluded;
with numenous em--
_ployers to remit a por-,
tion of such earnings!
back ‘to Ciskei on a|
‘voluntary basis, and the |

CAPE TOWN. — A
‘veteran Afrikaans-lan-
guage campaigner, the
‘Reverend Dr P J
Loots, has objected to
the invitation of

Coloured and Indian ©

MPs to acommemora-
tion service at the
‘Paarl Taalmonument
next week. ©
Members of all three
; Houses of Parliament
Shave been invited to the
* function at the Taalmonu-
pment next Tuesday to
commemorate the 60th
year of official recogni-
tion of Afrikaans.
Dr Loot's criticism of
the presence .of the
~-mixed-race. Parliament
‘and President’s Council
*— more than 400 mem-
bers — casts a shadow
* over the event.
He first voiced his criti-
cism at a public meeting
} he called in Paarl recently
to discuss the administra-
tion of the Paarl Taal-
_ monument funds.
“Afrikaans was per-
fected only by White
Afrikaners and therefore

3400/297

no other races should be
admitted to this event,”
said Dr Loots, a founder
of the original committee
and fund which built the
monument, and former
chairman of the Afri-
kaans Taalmonumentko-
mitee.

Dr Loots, formerly of
Paarl and now living in
the Strand, said he “con-
siders. it a great scandal
that all three Houses of
Parliament were invited
to the events.”

“It was the White Afri-
kaner who perfected Afri-

- kaans”, he said.

“The Coloured and
other races merely
adopted it as their lan-
guage, but did not con-
tribute anything signifi-
cantly new to Afrikaans.

“Therefore, it is a scan-
dal that the chairman of
the fund has invited all
three’ Houses of Parlia-
ment to attend the
event,” he said.

The ceremony will be
addressed by the State

_ President. Mr P W Botha.

Mr Sybrand van Wyk,

event — the first such of-
ficial function at the

+ monument since its inau-

guration about 10 years
ago — was organised by
the Department of Nat-
ional Education and his
committee.

Mr Van. Wyk said he
was “picking up a bit of
flak from the more old fa-
shioned, let’s say ver-
krampte, elements in
Paarl, who would prefer
to, commemorate _ this
event with only White

. Afrikaners attending.

“They will simply have
to accept that we are now
Jiving m a different. era,
and that we must recog-
nise. the fact that Afri-
kaans is spoken by a great

many South Africans of

“all colours.”

‘Mr Van Wyk said Afri-

kaans “might have been

the only Afrikaans lan-
of Germanic ori-
gin, but it was definitely
not only the Whites who
developed it.”


Prominent among the various speeches were those of:

Aurelio Silva (owner of the CORSIL oil lamp factory ): For over .6 months he has
not been provided with the material used.to manufacture oil lamps. He was
already an exporter, but now he cannot even meet the needs of the domestic
market. When there is imported material, the manufacturers are not consulted,
and often they are forced to use raw material that does not have good quality,
at prices substantially higher than those that could be paid if the importing
had been direct. He proposes that permission be given to make imports of what
he needs directly, reactivating exports, with which to pay at least partially
for the imports.

Mario Cajada (cattle raiser in the Magude area); He had a high production rate
until 1980, and still manages to have very good quality cattle acclimated to
Mozambique. However, the lack of backing is jeopardizing the knowledge acquired
over many years, and he suggests that this information be gathered and that
more support be given. ‘He criticizes the conduct of some soldiers stationed
in the area, regarding it as improper.

Juliao Cossa (hog raiser and farmer): He is struggling with problems, with a
lack of feed and.of transportation. He asks to be granted a means of trans-
portation, whatever it may be, at least a bicycle, in order to be able to
continue producing. He says that he had a truck, which was destroyed by the
armed bandits who were attempting to destroy his work, but without success.

Alice Rosa (manager of the Third Congress Consumer Cooperative): She says that
"The cooperatives have come to be viewed as the enemy of the people," because
they are not receiving the proper support from the suppliers. She mentioned
the lack of transportation and the high cost of it to carry the small amounts
of products distributed, and the lack of a regular supply of products which,
moreover, are not sufficient for all the members.

Martinho de Almeida (hog raiser): He criticized the fact that the state enter-
prise which controls and distributes the feed is also a hog producer, and
asked that they start making the purchases directly at the factory. He
remarked: "I want to lead a good life and I am now living better than during
colonial times. Then, I suffered from hunger. Now, they say that they don't
want rich people in Mozambique. I think that what is wanted is for everyone
to become rich."

Aida da Silva (flower grower): She needs to invest in growing anthuriums that
are being raised in Matola. She claimed that, in working, she likes to have
profits and that "no one works for the exercise." She says that, if she makes
the investment, within 2 years she could produce 5,000 flowers per month for
export. She remarked that she needs transportation and cement to finish the
projects on her property.

Joao Dionisio Santos (poultry raiser): The prices of chicken and eggs have not
changed for nearly 8 years, and they are quite out of date. The legal price

NEW SYSTEMS FOR PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OFF TO SHAKY START

The announcement of .

‘represents a big step
forward in
Government thinking.
But with black unrest
still raging, the new
plan is off toa shaky

start.
Most black leaders

_ the new local
government system,
_and businessmen who
“are expected to
finance it have
. expressed strong
reservations.
Soweto Civic

Dr Nthato Motlana
said the new system
had no chance of
working.
“In a country with a
three-tier system of
government,” he
added, “blacks will
only have
participation on the
lowest level of local

“Power devolves from
central authority and

black participation at

MAURITIUS

OPR LEADER ADVOCATES AUTONOMY FOR RODRIQUES
Port Louis LE MAURICIEN in French 4 May 85 pp 5-6
[Interview with Serge Clair, OPR leader; date, place not given]

[Text] Internal autonomy, economic independence, and devel-
opment of Rodrigues with rather than for the Rodriguans:

~ those themes by Serge Clair provide a good summary of the
approach taken by the Organization for the Rodrigues People
[OPR]. And they have not changed since the OPR was founded
in 1976. According to Serge Clair, who is the only politi-
cal leader with whom we have not yet met in our series of
interviews on independence, those themes are still just as
valid today. In an interview granted to us, the OPR leader
talks about the desire of the Rodriguans to be less depend—
ent on Mauritius and to participate in the development of
their country. He deplores the lack of dialogue between
the OPR leader and the government concerning the big prob-
lems of Rodrigues and announces that if the next government
assigns a cabinet post to the OPR, it will be the OPR's
assembly of delegates that chooses the minister to fill
that post. .

[Question] Looking back today, how did the Rodriguans react to the independ-
ence of Mauritian territory?

[Answer] Rodriguans voted for the first time in 1967. The purpose, unfor-
tunately, was to choose between association with Great Britain and independence.
For the people of Rodrigues, it was a poor start in that those elections did
not mark the start toward a certain dynamism for taking charge of their own
development, and that was what perpetuated a “public dole mentality" in
Rodrigues that needed to be corrected. The struggle for independence in
Rodrigues was not carried out with the Mauritian people. I have the impression
that the struggle by the Rodriguans always missed its mark, because the policy
coming from Mauritius was a much more colonial policy. The structures existing
on the island were and still are colonial. That is the atmosphere in which the
Rodriguans have evolved, and.it is in that same atmosphere that they have not
succeeded in integrating with the Mauritian nation in a certain way. And since
they voted against independence, they have said to themselves: "We do not form

Rossing Uranium should close, the company's public affairs manager, Mr Clive
Algar, said this week. He was responding to a call by Swapo's president, Mr
Sam Nujoma, for multinational companies to quit the country because their taxes
supported South African control of the territory. Mr Nujoma, who named the
Rio Tinto Zinc and Anglo-American groups, said in Nairobi that South West
Africans were paid subsistence wages and would not suffer if those companies
ceased operations in the territory. Mr Algar said the average pay of semi-
skilled workers at Rossing was between R500 and $1 000 a month. They also re-
ceived company housing at nominal rents and First World fringe benefits such as
pension schemes, life assurance and medical aid. Rossing spent about R150m
annually inside the country on the purchase of goods and services and pay, he

‘NAMIBIA RAVAGED by drought,

the people demoralised and engaged in a

civil war — that is

one picture. which

But it is not the only picture and by

For despite the doom

Nobody believes the

in the way of

progress, not least the
chronic division among the
ethnic groups -of the
country.

For some, the Tran-
sitional Government
proposed by the
Multiparty Conference, of-
fers a new beginning for in-
ternal rule by the people of
Namibia and a chance to
provide the stability neces-
sary for economic
improvement.

For others the only way
out of the current problems
is the speedy implementa-
tion of the United Nations
independence plan for the
Territory.

The proposed govern-
ment is going to face an
uphill task and both on the
political and economic

“fronts will’ have to make
changes to satisfy the peo-

ple.

According to controver-
‘sial economic “watchdog”
Eric Lang, and several
black businessmen canvas-
sed, the government is to
blame for the economic ills
of the country and the new
administgration will have
to do something in the
economic field to prove
itself.

NEW TWO-WAY RADIO ATTRACTS FOREIGN ORDERS

A NEW synthesised mobile
two-way radio, designed, de-
‘veloped and manufactured in
South Africa, has been suc-
cessfully launched on the
overseas market.

The Servitek MR30 is the
creation of the Group Five
specialist electronics com-
pany Servitek.

Following its appearance
last week at an international
exhibition of two-way radios
in the United States, orders
have already been received
from clients in a number of
countries — with follow-up in-
quiries reaching the firm’s
Elandsfontein head office
daily.

Locally, the MR30 has al-

“ready been field-tested and
-ordered ahead of its South
sAfrican launch by a major

para-Statal organisation.

The MR30 was launched in
‘South Africa on May 9.

Servitek chairman, Joe
Grobler, said the launch was
the culmination of work
which began more than 20
years ago.

The mobile radio was pre- _
ceded by a range of VHF por-
tables which were successful- :
ly introduced to the local and
international markets over a .
year ago and are now in great
demand.

The firm has also just re-
ceived an order worth over
Ri million for the supply of
1500 VHF portables to an im- ;
portant Government agency. ;

This is believed to be the
largest order yet placed for
South African manufactured ;

ANC and the SACP.

If that were the case,
why doesn’t the Govern-
ment charge such high
profile people as Bishop
Desmond Tutu and Dr
Alan Boesak, who are,
after all, backers of the

“UDF; hence, by extension

according to that logic,
the ANC and the Commu-
nist Party?

Is it afraid that an in
ternational uproar would
ensue and the pressure
for sanctions might in-
crease? Or is it afraid

that such a charge won't —

stand up in court, even in |
terms of Pretoria’s all-
embracing security
laws?

The latter seems the
most logical explanation.
And therefore, the at-
tacks on the UDF could
be a prelude to its ban-
‘ning, again by-passing
the courts.

Similar attacks were
made on Azapo and other
black organisations about
four or five years ago.
They weren't banned,

The Minister has also
singled out the National
Forum Committee — of

. which Azapo is a mem-
ber.

He has listed the chief
“resistance organisa-
tions” as the ANC/SAPC
alliance and the “non-col-
laboration groupings” —
the Forum, the UDF and
its affiliates, and “radical
trade unions”.

It sounds ominous. Big
Brother seems to be on
his way again.



There is one other possi-
‘ble scenario: Internal tur-
moil (in SA) can become
so. serious and external

‘ pressure so strong that
! Pretoria might decide the
. only solution is to do

something dramatic to buy
some time and goodwill.
What better thing to do

than to let Namibia

US refusal

: ‘tHe TRANSITIONAL. government planned for

Namibia was a fact which would intrude into the
reality of regional politics irrespective of the lack of
international recognition at this stage, according to

: a political analyst in Windhoek. .

With the emphatic refusal of either the US or any
other Contact Group members to regard the MPC
as a player in the negotiations over the future of the
Territory, it was quite clear that in the international
context the MPC was irrelevant in terms of the in-
ternational obligations of South Africa. :

Although South Africa could not pass its respon-
sibilities on to the Transitional Government, “in the
regional context the fact of its existence will change
polities subtly inside the country and in the

» region.”the analyst said

On UN resolution 435 he pointed out that both
UN ‘officials ‘and senior members within the:
Western Five governemnts had conceded the pos-

, sibility. of amendments.

An assistant Secretary General of the UN, Mr
Brian Urquart, had said for example that 435 was
“not ‘a holy cow” and could be changed.

In the House of Commons last month, the
British Foreign Office Minister, Mr Malcolm
Rifkind, said: “Security Council Resolution 435
represents the -best prospect for for an inter-
nationally ‘recognised independence for Namibia. ;
‘We have always made it clear that if-all the parties :
in Namibia — Swapo and internal parties —: were‘
to come forward with improvements pr change’ on ‘
which ‘they could ‘all agree, it would not be the |

: business of the rest of the world to stand in the way

of.any change. However, that must be on the basis
of the agreement of all parties.

The analyst said core elements of Resolution
‘435 -were UN supervision, the involvement of
‘Swapo in an election, and the ceasefire and
withdrawal procedures.

These would quite clearly at this stage not be
open to discussion in any international forum.

On the-other hand a willingness by the signifi-

‘cant Nambian parties to negotiate directly over the
‘terms of 435 should “throw the whole complex.

open to discusion‘and amendment.”

SWAFT KILL 26 SWAPO INSURGENTS

WINDHOEK. — Security forces in Northern South
West Africa have shot dead 26 Swapo insurgents in the
last 19 days, bringing to 275 the number of Swapo com-
batants “neutralised” in battle since January 1, the
SWA Territory Force'announced in Windhoek yester-

_ day.

In the same period one membér of the security forces
was killed in a skirmish, the SWATF statement said.

In the corresponding period last year, security forces
in the territory killed 222 Swapo insurgents.

“Several incidents of terror and intimidation (against
civilians) were Teported in the last two weeks,” the
statement said.

.“A civilian from Ongenga, Mr Shoombe Sam, was
shot cold-bloodedly by a Swapo terrorist in the veld
near the border between Ovambo and Angola on May
12.

“The terrorist fled the scene on a bicycle.”

The statement said there had also been several mor-
tar attacks by Swapo on civilian kraals in Northern
SWA.

Three people were injured in an attack on the kraal

: of a headman near Oshikuku on May 5.

Three more people were slightly injured on Monday
when Swapo insurgents bombarded the area around
Oshakati. ‘Reports, about 25 mortar bombs were fired
but none fell on the town.

On Saturday, Swapo insurgents fired mortars at the
kraal of a headman at Tsandi in SWA, but no one was

- hurt.

On May 5, Swapo insurgents abducted seven Ovam-
bo-speaking civilians from a spot nine kilometres east
of Okalango in SWA.

pity of Bishop Tutu in
«the talks.

Since the contro-
«versial visit to South
: Africa this year by

United States Sen-
‘ator Edward Ken-
nedy, Azapo has ac-
cused Bishop Tutu of
siding with the UDF.

Bishop Tutu is a
supporter of the BC-
oriented NFC and
patron of the UDF.
At one. stage it ap-
peared like the
Bishop was going to
be an issue at the
“talks — about — the
— talks”. But both
organisations ami-
cably settled for Fa-
ther Lebamang Se-
bidi to chair the
talks.

“T am just a stage
prop which attracts
people,” Bishop
Tutu said acknow-

-ledging that the idea
-to have a peace
prayer service came
from Father Sebidi.
Bishop Tutu‘ad-
saitted that the Ken-
nedy visit was a fac-
tor in the conflict.

Before the talks
organisations in-
volved in the peace
talks were presented
with a peace package
which included:

@ A commitment
‘by the organisations
that they will - disci-
ipline their members.

' @ A_ commitment
to publicly denounce
the violence that has
engulfed the organi-

cso: 3400/294

sations and
@ A willingness to

{ be in the talks will all
“affected organisa-
, tions.

The organisations
agreed to the propo-
sals, although Azapo

‘earlier maintained

that it was not “at

war” with Inkatha.

Policies
—
Both the UDF and

" Azapo have “stand-

ing policies” not to
negotiate with orga-

* nisations “that oper-
ate “within Govern- :

ment created structu-

res.” Inkatha’s presi-
dent, Chief Gatsha |
Buthelezi, is also

leader’ of the Kwa-
Zulu homeland.
“We were placed

‘in’ an invidious posi-
‘tion of having to
* share a platform with
‘Inkatha, however
“our reconciliatory

sign of statemanship
and honest commit-

‘ment'‘to peace dic:

tated that we partic-
‘ipate,” Azapo said
about the Regina
Mundi meeting.

Both Azapo and
the UDF have
blamed the “system”
for the pamphle-
teering and a recent
spate of petrol bomb
attacks. This itself
could pave the way
for “sense to prev-
‘ail.”, The UDF has
-accused the SABC of
being party to a well-
orchestrated ‘plan by

98

the Government to
‘confuse the people
who look to the UDF
and Azapo for politi-
jeal leadership. Both
‘organisations are
‘agreed that decisive
ifactor in the peace
{talks would be inter-
nal effort by both or-
ganisations exercis-
ing internal disci-
ipline.
i “Declarations
could become mean-
ingless ‘if. not sup-
ported by resolute
action against disrup-
tive elements,”
Azapo President Mr
‘Ishmael Mkhabela
said, calling for se-
rious steps to be
taken against those
, known to be respon-
sible for the breach
‘of peace.

“We need to iso-
‘late the enemy and
‘make it impossible

for it.to exploit our
differences,” he said.

Maybe Mr Sebidi
Swas right when he
* said: “We are not try-

Hing to bring about
Lideological homoge-
“neity. That is impos-
‘sible and unneces-
sary. What we want
to see is operational
unity, which I be-
lieve, is very possi-
ble.”
Fears
—-

There are fears in
some quarters that
there is a burning de-
sire’ by one’ of the
groups to force the

other out of existence
— territorial domi-
nance.

If that happens
then the peace talks
would have been in
vain and a waste of
time, a member of
Azapo said.

Condemning the
violence in the East-
ern Cape Azapo
called “on all respon-
sible leaders in our
community to join us
in condemning this
infantile political
banditry committed
in the name of the
liberation struggle.
; We echo the concern
ithe clergy that the in-
“ternicine fights and
; the struggle for terri-
torial influence and
‘ hegenomic ambitions

: will only subvert and
retard the liberation
struggle.”

; - Azapo says the sys-

‘tem is very unhappy
that peace talks’ be-

“tween Azapo and the

;UDF are in good

; Progress. “It is said
and to be regretted
that certain elements
within the black com- ;
munity are hell bent ;
‘on pleasing the sys-
tem by their actions.”

“; The encouraging ©

‘factor that emerged
this week is that both
organisations still see
the possibility of last-
ing peace between
,them, despite the
/eracks — ‘and some-
times wide open
chasms Of the past.


agencies or because they are doing so directly in the provincial capitals. But
the expansion to the district did not occur, because of the large number of
private district warehouse owners who have assumed the status of middlemen,
and who cannot be immediately integrated into the state. enterprise for several
reasons, noteworthy among which are the following:

The fact that they have not achieved a good organizational capacity;
Meager transportation capacity;
Meager capacity for management and on the cadre level.

But the Provincial Wholesalers, E.E., maintain relations with the district
warehouse owners in terms of a commercial discount on sales that they make,
and they are in a position to report,.with a certain amount of analysis, the
purchases made by the latter, with a view toward determining the sales volume
and providing control of taxes.

As has been noted, the goals can be attained only over the medium and long
term.

In the area of the. products in the plan, there was merely a freeze on increases
in prices which have been designated on the basis of scheduled prices.

In the instances wherein the Provincial Wholesalers, E.E. are extended to the
districts, the number of middlemen has declined.

People's Supply
The main causes for the reduction in the supply of food products are:

Significant declines in production and, consequently, in distribution of sugar,
and edible oil. Despite the increase that has occurred in grains, generally,
this has caused an overall reduction in the value of the supply of products
considered amounting to 14 percent, as well as a failure to make imports of
food called for in the 1984 PEC, particularly of peanuts, beans and meat for
the city of Maputo.

Despite the fact that the overall reduction is 14 percent, we can say that
other action not stipulated in the plan, which was taken throughout the year
to raise production of green végetables on the outskirts of the cities, has
had a very positive effect on the food balance, partially offsetting the
reductions occurring in edible oil, sugar, peanuts and beans.

The situation is different for non-food products. There was an overall increase
of 43 percent in the supply, with positive repercussions in the rural areas.

We can claim that a great effort was made to combat nakedness, because the

6 percent increase in textiles and the 110 percent increase in ready-made
clothing had a good effect. This was due to the widespread introduction of
imported used ready-made clothing, on which the little money available for

In 1983, Maputo Province, with two district agencies;

In 1984, Zambezia, with direct distribution in the city and district of
Quelimane.

Also created were:
In 1981, the Maputo City Supply Enterprise;
In 1984, the Beira City Supply Enterprise.

The plan to create wholesale enterprises among all the provinces and to extend
them to the districts has not yet been fulfilled.

From an economic standpoint, the results of this activity are helping to
finance the General State Budget. In numerical terms, it represented, as a
whole, an increase in marketing amounting to 2.8 million contos in 1983, over
the 1982 figure, and an increase of 1.2 million contos in 1984, compared with
1983,

From a social standpoint, it represents an expansion in the organization of the
state home trade activity and its increasingly more direct link with the people.

There have also been difficulties, such as the pace of the training of cadres,
which is ‘still insufficient for expanding the commercial system.

It is anticipated that, by the year 1987, the state wholesale control will be
extended to the provinces of Nampula, Tete and Inhmabane.

The plan for creation of enterprises will not be carried out in the other
provinces, owing to the fact that the minimal human resources and material
bases for their establishment are lacking.

Privileges of the Consumer Cooperatives

The consumer cooperatives benefit from the following resources, among others:
Ifa and Saviem trucks, construction material, sewing machines, scales, cash
registers and motorized vehicles.

Nearly all the donations from the GDR, USSR and U.S. were sold by the coopera
tives. The latter also have a monopoly on certain nationally produced and
imported items.

The process to train cadres and instructors has already begun, for the purpose
of creating a center for training management cadres.

Courses in basic accounting and for those in charge’ of sales stations have been
promoted, to improve the work.

However, there are situations that ‘have delayed development, such as:

“We consider the Second Conference of OJM an important time in our country's
existence, because it will be a time when the youth will make a complete,

the organization in the new tasks that the revolutionary process imposes on
us."

Concerning the Mozambican youth's participation in the 12th: World Festival of
Youth and Students, soon to take place in Moscow, the OJM secretary general
remarked that it would be typified by activities of a political, cultural,
sports and recreational nature. :

“our delegation, consisting of 100 young people, will take the message from

the Mozambican people, particularly our youth, as a means of contributing to the
strengthening of the broad anti-imperialist youth front. Our delegation will
also describe in Moscow the real situation and the complexity of our country,
which is a target’ of imperialist aggression; and we shall also convey our
message of solidarity with the youth still struggling for independence, demo-

fundamentalists but is official acknowledgment. of
the new fervour shown by Christian sects in fighting
what they see as a Muslim campaign to institutional-
ise Islam throughout Nigeria. The Catholics in par-
ticular have voiced their views on religious freedom,
as have other Christians. The most recent emphasis.
is on the role of Rotary clubs. These were the target.
of Muslim wrath in Sokoto a few weeks ago. There.
is much talk in southern states of the new political
role of the church while those in the middle, with
determined Muslim and Christian groups, are. now.
frequently on the alert over religious clashes. 7

These developments are seen as having underlying
political implications. There have been large-scale
retrenchments among judges. This followed a com-.
ment by the Chief Justice, George Sowemimo, dur-
ing a session of the supreme court in Enugu: the
Anambra state judiciary, he said, was ‘sick and.
required urgent surgery. This comment was probably
justified, but the legal retirements which came in its.
wake were analysed for political content. One judge,
a former senator, was retired because it was alleged.
that he had been appointed in a ‘“‘questionable way’’
by the now illegal Unity Party of Nigeria, which.
formed the government in his state. As no equivalent.

,8ackings took place among appointees of the former

ruling party, the NPN, the removal of discredited
judges has become a discredited exercise @

KANYE TO DEVELOP INTO MAJOR RURAL INDUSTRIAL CENTER

Gaborone BOTSWANA DAILY NEWS in English 3 May 85 p 1

{Article by Bapasi Mphusu]

[Text]

KANYE: Kanye is to be
developed into a centre to
attract Industries and achieve
an employment rate that is
more in accordance with the
population distribution,
according toa draft paper on
an industrial site approved
by a special council meeting

here yesterday. .
The paper, which describes

Kanye asa fast growing rural
industrial centre in the
Southern District, was
prepared on the new
industrial site formedium and
large scale industrial
activities in the village.

The site is located
alongside the Lobatse road,
and according to the District
Physical Planner, Mr K.
Njornberg, it will be serviced
with roads and drainage,
water and electricity next
year.

The draft paper outlines
the development standards
which will be implemented in
order to get a well planned
and appropriate utilised
industrial site.

The standards deal with
land use, plot development,
type of activity, procedure
for obtaining development
approval, leases and rentals.

According to the paper,

csO: 3400/341

priority will be given to
industries with big service
requirements and those with
high employment and
moderate land use.

Examples of such
industries are engineering-
/welding business using
power tools/machinery,
carpentry workshops using
power equipment, large scale
bakery, printing company,
large scale garment
manufacturing, footwear
production of a reasonable
scale.

Second priority will be
given to businesses with full
use of services but with
medium employment and
possibly larger land
requirements.

Industries falling within this
category are garage/motor
repairs, panel beating,
blockmaking (using electrical
cement mixers), it states.

A mixture of industrial
activities is desirable and
different kinds of businesses
will be given priority, says
the paper.

itadds that industries using
local materials create
additional employment and
will also be given priority.

Activities excluded from the

rural industrial site, according
to the paper, include
agricultural activities like
poultry, piggery and others,
wholesalers, government
depots and scrapyards.

With regard to plot
development, the paper
advises that construction of
industrial buildings should
seek to provide a useable,
healthy, safe and
economically viable industrial
plant.

The establishment must not
affect neighbouring land uses
immediately or in the future,
it further advises.

Construction must begin
within one year after
allocation of land, says the
paper, and it warns that if

not, the land board may!

withdraw the lease and anew
application will then be
required.

The business is to become
operational within two years
from the date of allocation or
the plot will be forfeited.

However, the paper
mentions that exceptions can

be made if the applicant has :

acceptable reasons for the
delay. Rentals are payable
with effect from the date of

commencement of business.

GABORONE: Botswana's
20-man youth delegation is
to attend the 12th
International Festival of Youth
and Students in Moscow,
USSR, to be held from July
27 to August 8 this year. The
delegation comprises
members of the Botswana
Democratic Party, Botswana
National Front and the
Botswana Peoples Party
youth wings.

There will also be
representatives from the
Students Representatives
Council (SRC) of the
University of Botswana. A
statement from the BDP’s
Youth Wing Secretariat said
it was highly regretted that

3400/341

owing to the limited
composition of the
delegation, it had not been
possible to include the
Botswana Independence
Party, Botswana Progressive
Union and Botswana Liberal
Party wings.

The 12th International
Festival of Youth and students
is regarded as a very
important event in youth
movement as it is expected
to increase the political
awarenes of all the young
people throughout the world,
especially that it takes place
during the International
Youth Year, the statement
added.

The Festival is expected to
develop cultural and social

relations amongst the youth
of the world. Some of the
highlights of the festival will
be Cultural activities, sports,
political discussions and
solidarity meetings with the
oppressed peoples of the
world.

A committee comprising
members from the BNF, BDP
and BPP youth movements

has been formed to organise !

a joint fund-raising concert
on June 29 in Gaborone. Itis
hoped that this concert wiil
rouse a lot of interest since it
will be the first time that
young people from the
different political parties
would be working together
for a common purpose.


WORKER TRAINING IN CISKEI TO BE EXPANDED

East London DAILY DISPATCH in English 10 May 85 p 4

3400/294

BISHO — There was a
preference for trained
workers compared with
unskilled ones, the
Minister of Manpower
and Utilisation, Mr G. M.
Mpepo, said in his policy
speech yesterday.

About 75 per cent of
all trained workers had
no difficulty in finding
work in the open labour
market.

The significance of the
Themba training centre
at Mdantsane would be
fully appreciated once
the expansion which was
now being, undertaken
there was completed.
The centre was able to
train 786 Ciskeians in
the various trades last
uyear.

He said most of these
trainees were placed in
employment without dif-

‘fieulty or returned home

to practise their newly
acquired skills for their
own benefit. .

A R3-million loan
igranted by the Develop-
ment Bank of Southern
‘Africa would enable an
extensive. expansion
;programme to be under-
taken, and on comple-
tion of the first phase at

108

the end of this financial
year, it would be able to
cater to a large extent
for training require-
ments of Region D.

An interesting innova-
tion was the introduc-
tion of mobile units
whereby training could
be taken to rural areas.

Mr Mpepo said his de-
artment now had three
large units catering for

masonry and brick-
laying, plumbing and
electrical work, and a
smaller unit for carpen-
try training. .
These units would
shortly be deployed in
rural areas on a district

“basis.

Great emphasis was
also being placed on
home economics
courses.

He said that an in-
teresting new develop-
ment was the possiblity
of training black seamen

for the fishing industry -

and a major fishing com-
pany in the Cape was

‘prepared to assist their

‘aining with expertise.

‘This would be a break- :

through in the labour
field, he said.

Kano’s military governor, Air Commodore Hamza

which he associates with “necessary complaints’’.
Most of these complaints are directed at the return

northern areas under the civilian «regime, largely

‘because. Kano, Kaduna and Borno, the northern-

most states, were run by parties in opposition at the

The Buhari government’s increasing reliance on
traditional elites, . particularly the northern chiefs;

has led to the reimposition of. these levies and has

made the military unpopular even in the north.

At the end of March the Sultan of Sokoto, Abu-
bakar III, northern: Nigeria’s spiritual leader and,
until recently the source of secular power, pledged
his support for Buhari and Buhari replied by identi-
fying the aims of his administration with the justice

one body with the Mauritian people." But at the same time, they accept every-

thing that comes from Mauritius. The heart of the problem is that Rodriguans,

who constitute a separate identity 350 miles from Mauritius, have never carried
out that struggle together with the Mauritian people.

Besides all that, there has been the policy coming from Mauritius, and it has
been a "public dole" policy. How is it possible to struggle alongside the
Mauritian people when for years, there has been a policy leading the Rodriguans
to believe that they are dependent on Mauritius--that they are welfare cases
and incompetents?

They cannot be blamed today if they act differently. Instead, it must be seen
that those responsible are on the Mauritian side.

[Question] Do you feel that Rodriguans are more aware of their responsibili-
ties today?

[Answer] To bring Rodriguans to feel that they are not welfare cases and that
they can run their country themselves, we have felt that since it is policy that
has harmed Rodrigues and led Rodriguans in the wrong direction, we want to make
them realize that there is another policy and that it is up to them to assume
their own responsibilities. It is up to them to run their country. It is up
to them to work out a policy that is strictly their own and to plan their de-
velopment. It is from that point of view that Rodriguans will be able to ac-
quire the mentality of independence that is possessed by all independent peo-
ples who manage to stand on their own feet.

The OPR engaged in information work: it was necessary to inform the Rodriguans
of Rodriguan realities, Mauritian realities, and international realities. We
did good work that enabled Rodriguans to look straight at themselves. I am
not saying that Rodriguans are looking straight at themselves today, but they
have begun to look at themselves and to tell themselves that they must learn
to rely on themselves first: that the solutions to the problems of Rodrigues
lie in Rodrigues, not in Mauritius.

The bulk of the OPR's work has been concerned with making the masses aware and
educating them. Despite that, there have been political parties coming from
Mauritius--as always--to thwart our work of making the masses aware and to con-
tinue a paternalistic and colonialist policy.

The OPR's contribution has been positive from the standpoint of making the
Rodriguan people aware as regards their responsibilities, the future of their
children, and the political, social, cultural, and economic future of Rodrigues.

The OPR has not instilled a mentality of political independence in the Rodriguan
people since 1976, but it has shown them how not to rely on Mauritius on the
social and economic levels. There is no political independence if there is no
economic independence--although some people tell us it is not possible for
Rodrigues to be independent of Mauritius. But every people must aspire to its
economic independence. There you have the big task of the OPR. In my opinion,
we have been successful.

SWANU'S RUKORO EXPRESSES PESSIMISTIC OUTLOOK--After almost six decades of
"gouth African stewardship", the state of Namibian nation could only be de-
scribed as bleak and the future "ominously dark", the Secretary-General of the
left-wing faction of Swanu, Mr Vekuii Rukoro, said yesterday. "A general
deterioration is prevalent in the political, economic and social fields," he
said. And the recent announcement by the SA Government to "resort to rule by
proxy as a dress rehearsal for UDI during the second half of 1987 did not offer
any hope or optimism whatsoever. "as far as the immediate future is concerned,
I see a hopelessly mismanaged economy, rising inflation and growing unemploy~
ment, as well as the wholesale violation of human rights," Mr Rukoro said. All
of this could result in the war of liberation being escalated. "In short, the
Namibian revolution has just begun," he said. [Text] [Windhoek THE WINDHOEK

imports was spent. Among the non-food products, the major concern regarding
supply is for soap, the national production levels for which are still
declining.

It should be noted that there has been a considerable impact on the increase in
volumes of non-food supplies by the donation of $15 million made by the USSR,
for textiles, shoes, household supplies and other items, the distribution of
which affected mainly the provinces north of the Zambeze River and the city of
Maputo.

The increment that has taken place in the national ready-made clothing industry
also contributed largely to the growth occurring in the ready-made clothing
sector. :

During 1984, in the area of priority supplies to the workers, the following
action was taken. Directed distribution of household electrical appliances
(freezers, stoves and irons); starting the directed distribution, particularly
of clothing for the workers in the city of Maputo, as well as of the donations
received; priority given to supplies for the social centers, especially those
of the strategic enterprises; priority given to supplies for the prepared food
factories; organization of supplies for the large projects and major enter-
prises located in the rural areas; preparation of the overall system for
organizing distribution, which is in the discussion phase on the home trade
system level.

The main difficulties encountered in the area of work on supplies are: the
great weight carried by social consumption (defense, health and education)
in the country's overall consumption, for many products amounting to over 50
percent of the total available supplies, and as a general average, nearly 30
percent, causing a large reduction in the consumer goods available for direct
sale to the population.

Despite the instructions given by the party and the MCI, there are still
instances of large-scale diversions of the products which reach the districts
for the state apparatus cadres and others on the district headquarters level,
often with the consent of the top-ranking district authorities.

The coordination between the Ministry of Agriculture and SEILA, although it
improved during 1984, is still defective, particularly with regard to the
establishment of priorities for production and the distribution policy.

In a message from the Mobilizing Group of the Communal District of Malanga,
read last Saturday, the importance of this Commerce Week is stressed. We

implements were distributed. It is estimated that 49 percent of the marketed
products come from the family sector, with the greatest emphasis on corn,
peanuts, seasoning oil, cashew nuts, sunflowers and beans.

To complete this task, which comes under the Provincial Governments Director—
ate, the MCI took the following principal action:

Guarantee for continuity and expansion of the program to import and distribute
work clothing for the areas most important to production and the marketing of
surpluses as a means of giving an incentive to production and combating
nakedness;

Judicious assignment of resources made available by the national industry
(aluminum utensils, plastic, enamel, textiles, canvas and plastic footwear,
salt, radios, batteries, matches) to the areas with better marketing prospects.
This action assumed particular significance owing to the arrival of but few
import goods;

Selling of items in the areas with priority;

Execution of projects to back rural development and marketing, with foreign
financing, in local areas. Through these projects it was possible to
acquire and distribute material for carpentry, textiles, ready-made clothing,
decorative items, materials for arts and crafts and other items; -

Creation of the organ for coordination of the cashew nut marketing campaign,
and action taken to mobilize, organize and give incentives, with a view toward
maximizing the marketing of cashew nuts in 1985;

Organization of the human, material and financial resources for marketing in
every province and district.

Also promoted was greater participation by the private. sector from the rural
areas in the marketing process, accruing highly positive results from this
involvement, especially in Cabo Delgado,Gaza and Nampula.

Problems and Prospects
Despite the growth shown in the agricultural marketing during 1984, that growth
might have been greater if there had not been certain problems, specifically,

the still limited supply of consumer goods for the bartering in the rural
area.

To cope with these problems, it is necessary:
To keep up the effort to concentrate the international financial aid in the

sectors of light industry, agriculture,and road and ocean transportation,and to
rehabilitate the commercial system, particularly that of transportation.

17



The economic forecast is
that there will be no
improvement until interest
ratres come down and this
will only happen when
South Africa believes it
politically expedient and
the balance of payments
improves. .

The third quarter is
given as a possible time for
these changes to take
place,

A ray of hope has been
held out by the Secretary
for Finance, Dr Johan
Jones, who says there is
foreign capital waiting on
the sidleines to take up new
investment opportunities

-and fill gaps left by slack
existing businesses.

On the other “hand

‘political leaders such as

Hidipo Hamutenya of
Swapo and Vekuii Rukoro
of Jeftwing Swanu believe
there is no real hope for
economic . improvement
while the country’s civil
war continues and in-
dependence is delayed.
They also believe the
MPC will be unable to do
anything of consequence
for the country and will be
rejected not only by the in-

: ternational community but

cSO:

3400/328

by the Namibian people.

Swapo’s public position
is that it is not prepared to
compromise over the
United Nations — in-
dependence plan for the
country and it rejects any
notions of “internal” or
“regional” settlements.

Political analysts believe,
however, that South
Africa’s emphasis in its
negotiations on Namibia
are beginning to shift away
from Resolution 435 and
towards attempts at a set-
tlement based on agree-
ment between South Africa
and its ‘neighbours,

Analysts also warn the
MPC that they will have to
embark on a programme of
reform if they are to gain
the necessary support to
oppose Swapo,

Mr Dirk Mudge, the
Chairman of the MPC,
and tipped to be the new
Minister of Finance, says
however,- that no-one
should expect miracles of
the Transitional Govern-
ment.

He hoped that the’ es-~

tablishment of the new ad-
ministration would have a
positive - effect on the

34

economy. Participation in a debate on

State of the Nation next organisations or — in-
week and would welcome dividuals from all sectors.



Another powerful northern chief, the Shehu of
Borno, Mustapha Umar El-Kanemi, called on the
state’s population to pay cattle tax (jangali) if they
wanted any amenities. Clashes with nomadic Fulani
herdsmen in the state have been blamed on the
reintroduction of this form of revenue and in-neigh-
bouring Gongola- state tax riots have been officially
acknowledged this year. Gongola and Cross River,
adjoining the Cameroun border, have been the scene
of considerable unrest. 8

Army manoeuvres, so intensive that the authorities
had to deny the outbreak of war, are taking place
in Cross River for reasons that are not entirely clear.
The official explanations are contradictory, but the
security situation certainly involves: violence across
internal state boundaries, involving Cross River,
Benue, Bauchi-and Imo states. . .

In a visit to the Cameroun border, Buhari spoke
of the continuing ‘illegal cross-border ‘traffic. The'10
northern: governors - whose renewed: regular mee-
tings denote a special relationship that is reminiscent
of the old dominant Northern Region - have expres-
sed their concern about the persistent smuggling into
Niger-and Chad. Gen. Magore, minister of internal
affairs, complained that Nigeria-had the most porous
borders in the, world: although the report ofdered
by the government,on commercial relations’ with ‘its
neighbours has, been submitted, no action has been
taken to reopen the borders. Urgently needed‘ food
aid for Niger is reportedly. still held:up ‘in Apapa
docks,. although Buhari-gave-his. personal assurance
to a United States representative that it would be
allowed: through border posts. - +.) - ae

While this concern about ‘illegal traffic ispartly
related ta the, need: for. economic safeguards (huge
losses are sustained. particularly through: the: smug-
gling .of subsidised: refined: oil products), the main
worry relates to the influx of religious fanatics:from

Private Retail Sector

The private retail sector is arranged in three areas: the urban, suburban and
rural zones.

In the urban zone, the tendency caused by the retail sector is to reduce the
number of stores, because of the maladjustment of the commercial system with
respect to the number of residents in the area of activity. It should also
be mentioned that the store of goods is not in keeping with the volume of

business in the stores, and therefore the financial results are for the most
part negative ‘for the storekeepers. a

The opening of commercial establishments has been frozen on the city level,
and those which are in a state of transfer are being analyzed.

In the suburban zone, provisions have been made for opening new stores, based on
the area's population density. :

In the rural zone, up until the present more attention has been given to the
reconstruction of establishments destroyed or’shut down as a result of direct
and indirect bandit activity.

AGRICOM E.E., through its fixed stations and mobile brigades has responded. to
the needs for supply and marketing in the areas with difficult access. -This”
activity also applies to the areas where the commercial system is weak, and
hence does not meet the marketing requirements.

The following criterion was devised among all the provinces for the opening of ..
new stores: zones with a large amount of agricultural marketing, and other
zones with shortcomings from the standpoint of the commercial system.

The destabilizing effect of the armed bandits has prompted.merchants. to give up»
their commercial activity because of seeing their assets destroyed, on the one

THE ESTABLISHMENT of a transitional govern-
ment gave Namibia something to look forward to
and would have a positive effect on the country,
but Namibians should not expect miracles, the
Chairman of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance,

Mr Dirk Mudge, said.

~The couptry had come
to a standstill, economical-
ly and politically, the peo-
ple had to put up with a
one-man-government and
there was no progress on
international ‘negotiations

on Namibia’s in-
dependence.
“That’s why I believe the

establishment of a tran-
sitional government. is go-
ing to have a positive effect
on the country,” Mr
Mudge said.

He warned against false
hopes, however. “I am
afraid that once we gain
control, people will think
we can solve everything.

“We should be in control
of our own destiny, but
people must not be under
any illusions — no miracles
will happen.”

“Of greatest importance
were human relations and
tespect for each other’s
dignity.

Mr Mudge called on
people to make up their

uminds whether they would

41

make Namibia their
fatherland, stay in, the
country, © invest and
develop their farms and not
to sit on the fence-and wait
for things to happen.

He said he was not op-
timistic about an. economic
upswing in the near future,
but believed if people
showed the necessary
determination, motivation
and sincerity, it would have
a positive effect on the
economy.

There is no doubt in our minds about the
authenticity of our findings for the just
concluded sub-regional Conference on Sea
Fishing held in Dakar, Senegal, under the
auspices of ECOWAS and other internation-
al agencies, confirmed that the NNFC’s
operations ran aground soon after it took
delivery of six distant water fishing vessels
from Norway. ~

The reasons advanced by the company’s
authorities for this abject failure are that
neighbouring African countries were not
willing to grant fishing rights and a reason-
able quota to the NNFC. This, they claim, was
because the company’s vessels and equip-
ment could threaten their own operations.

But it is regrettable that for one reason or
the other, Nigeria was not represented at
that conference where one of the issues
discussed was the harmonization of fishing
in the region. This was in spite of the fact
that the appropriate ministries were fully
informed, according to the ECOWAS secre-
tariat. How, one may ask, can Nigeria's
fishing vessels threaten the ‘hbouring
countries when over half of the total haul in
the region in recent years was made by
foreign countries like France, Italy, Greece,
Japan, the Soviet Union and Spain, among
others?

We call on the Ministry of Commerce and.
Industry to institute an immediate enquiry
on the causes of the dormancy of the Nige-
rian National Fish Company and come out
with recommendations on ways and means
of revitalising it and making it commercial-
ly viable. The suggestion by the company’s
workers’ union that the fishing vessels and
equipment should in the interim be rented
out to companies with international fishing
permits should be seriously considered.

If, as a result of a careful study, the NNFC
is declared a white elephant, it should be
sold to the private sector without further
delay.

avoid being overtaken
by imminent events and

’ presented a constitution

“Both the protagonists

as its detractors, have
equally faced up‘to the

* impediments of such in-

dependence as well as
‘enjoyed’ what fruits
flowed from such inde-
pendence.

“Tt remains only for the
starry-eyed to be de-
ceived and believe that
independence for Trans-

aspirations of the black

“The political aspira-

“The opposition has,

no bones about our

belief in a unitary South
African multiracial
state.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY DIFFICULTIES DESCRIBED
Gaborone BOTSWANA DAILY NEWS in English 6 May 85 p 2.
{Article by Jowitt Mbongwe]

[Text]

GABORONE: A new hostile
industrial. climate
‘characterised by continuous
retrenchments and
uneasiness ‘of textile
industries is hovering over
Botswana.

. “According to a spokesman
‘of the Ministry of Commerce
and Industry, Botswana and
Zimbabwe aré locked in
negotiations to attain better
trading relations which

- feached rock bottom when
Harare declared new
prohibitive rules on the
originality of goods imported
from Botswana.

Zimbabwe which is the
main importer of textiles from
Botswana, enacted a law
which made it difficult for
local textile industries to
export to that country in 1984.

One of the requirements of
this new legislation, said the
Chairman of the Botswana
Clothing Manufacturers
Association (BCMA) Mr
Watkins is that textile
industries here have to send

in their costings for
consideration by the Customs
and Excise authorities in
Zimbabwe.. °

If these costings indicate
that the products do not
comply with the rules of origin
which went into effect in
January this year, the
company is barred from
exporting to Zimbabwe.

Mr Watkins story was grim.
He told BOPA that in 1982,
the Zimbabwean
Government, without
consultation with Botswana
decided to place restrictions
onclothing exports from here.

The restrictions were
removed two months later
after negotiations between
the two countries. But during
the interim period the
revenues of local companies
were monked by a big slump.

The BCMA Chairman
added that as a result the
ability of these firms financing
future operations was made
extremely difficult.

Mr Watkins said from 1982
up to present day, “there was

a gradual erosion of
employment in the textile
industry.” In 1982 there were

. about 1 200 people employed

in the'‘industry. Last year the
figure was dropped to 900.
Out of the 20 textile

industries which were in |
operation last year, only two ;

have so far been | approved
under Zimbabwe's” tough
import laws.

The ‘costings of other |
manufacturers are still being ©
considered. As aresult about |

400 people have lost their

jobs. A further number of 80 !

is presently on unpaid leave
pending the outcome of the
costing exercise submitted
to the Zimabwean
Government.

He warned that if '

negotiations between
Botswana and Zimbabwe do
not bear fruit more and more
workers would have to walk
streets, Even worse still some
factories might be forced to
fold.

Dr Abrahams said he

“Powerful regional

GABORONE: Prospects for
a. brighter future in the
diamond industry in
Botswana may be expected
in the second half of this
year, disclosed the Resident
Director of Anglo-American
Corporation Mr Louis
Nchindo in an interview with
BOPA today.

Whether Botswana's
diamond sales later this year
increase or decrease depends
on the strength of the US
Dollar and general market
conditions, said Mr Nchindo.

He mentioned that raw
diamonds for jewelery ‘are
still being sold impressively
because, “women are still
buying them at retail level.”

Mr Nchindo intimated that
the diamond stock has
become very low, hence
dealers and manufacturers

3400/341

must start buying new stock.

Botswana still stockpiles
large amounts of large
diamonds because the market
is not favourable for selling
them as itis for smaller ones,
the Resident Director stated.

Meanwhile the country's
diamond production has
stabilised at 13 million carats
per annum and the situation
is likely to remain the same
for some time.

In 1984 Botswana earned
about P554 million from the
sale of diamonds.

According to the 1984
Report of the De Beers
Botswana Mining Company,
a total of 4 515 workers were
employed in Debswana mines
by the end of last year.

This represented an
increase of 344 over the 1983
figure and was attributable

_to.additional apprentices, new

graduates, manpower
requirement increases and
other factors.

The report disclosed that
4 122 or 91 per cent of the!
workforce employed were!
citizens, adding that a five-'
year localisation focus was!
adopted last year for the
Jwaneng Mine and registered ,
with the Department of;
Labour.

The forecast, said the:
report, was agreed upon in’

It is difficult, in a few words, to give a complete idea of all the action
taken in 1984 to fulfill the economic and social directives approved at the

Fourth Congress.

Hence, I shall present only a very brief summary of the action taken, the
difficulties encountered and the prospects for 1985.

Generally speaking, we could say that for home trade 1984 was a year when
there was growth both in the supply area’ (11.4 percent) and in the agrarian
marketing area (34 percent).

During 1984, many internal reflections were.made concerning areas to be
corrected within the context of the directives devised by the party for the
sector, which made it possible to start 1985 with greater prospects for
advancement from an organizational standpoint.

Let us begin by discussing agrarian marketing. In this respect, the task
indicated by the economic directives is:

To organize the proper dynamic marketing in the rural areas, ensuring the sale
of farm implements and industrial consumer goods regularly used in every area.

In this sector, during 1984, there was a 34 percent increase for products..of
the MCI [Ministry of Home Trade] area, amounting to 60 percent for grains.

For example, 201,550 tons were marketed, compared with 149,588 in 1983, for
a group of 11 products. As for production tools, nearly.1.5 million farming

Since 1976, there had been an awareness in the population of a return to the
land--toward economic and social independence--but at the government level,
there was not that desire for renewal that would seek to set up new structures.
The OPR used to be an opposition party outside Parliament, and no one listened
to us. Not until the OPR became part of the government in 1982 were those
structures set up. Today, with the projects that are being carried out in
Rodrigues, structures are in place for allowing Rodriguans to develop with them.
It is unfortunate, however, that the great majority of Rodriguans are still
outside those structures. We are not going far enough.

[Question] Isn't it true that all those big projects are situated in a coop-
erative framework?

[Answer] That is where I question the government. Is there a guiding policy
for Rodrigues? The OPR has one based on community development, small companies,
and cooperatives. Let us take the case of the Fishermen's Enterprise. We know
that it has been built and that it has its own cold storage, but what do we see?
The government has given a private company a development certificate to do the
same work as the Fishermen's Enterprise. Is it not true that by granting a
certificate to that private company, which will export fish and “ourites" to
Mauritius, the government is pushing the cooperative and community effort of
the fishermen into the background?

As far as cooperatives are concerned, they must be reviewed from the standpoint
of Rodriguan society, and Rodriguans distrust cooperatives. If we are going
to take the cooperative route, we must find the right people: we must invest
in the management of those cooperatives. That is another of the government's
shortcomings. ‘If the government is choosing social, economic, and cultural
development and so on, let it go all out. I have the impression that every-
thing is in chaos at the moment. Fortunately, we have the EDF [European De-
velopment Fund] project, which is trying to set up the cooperatives. There
are many initiatives in that area, but those initiatives must be supported by
government incentives. The government must show clearly that it is assigning
priority to the cooperatives.

[Question] Are Rodriguans convinced today that the solutions to their prob-
lems éxist in Rodrigues?

[Answer] That has become a belief. Unfortunately, while Rodriguans believe
that the solutions to their problems are in Rodrigues, the necessary structures
must be set up to enable them to take action. It is not enough to believe.
Organizations must be set up so that Rodriguans can accomplish what they. con~-
sider necessary. But what do we see? I have the impression that we have al-
most gone back to the days before 1976, when each minister concerned himself
with his own ministry in Rodrigues, and that the Ministry of Rodrigues and

the Outer Islands has lost its role. The Ministry of Rodrigues and the Outer
Islands has never been defined in such a way that it can play its role as far
as Rodrigues is concerned.

People say: "Okay, we want to accomplish things, but give us the means to do
so." Today, however, everything is still planned in Mauritius. In the field

hand, and to abandon their property as a result of the indirect action of the
bandits, on the other.

The material and equipment for the reconstruction of facilities’ are in very
short supply.

We obviously intend to find a solution for this problem. So we have pledged
that, as a priority, we. must mobilize the population, so as to organize them
into consumer cooperatives and mobilize the private retail sector to assume its
role in the district, whether or not they have been stricken by the armed ban-
dits; giving them an incentive with transportation facilities, construction
materials and other equipment. We intend to reinforce the capacity for the
AGRICOM workers' military training, so that they may be able to operate more
efficiently in the areas abandoned by private commerce. During this phase,

the experience of the mobile brigades which organize fair-type sales, primarily
in the districts with difficult access, ensuring the supply and marketing of
the population's surpluses, is a necessity.

Control of Supplies As a Means of Improvement

4n improvement was made in the methodology for controlling the people's supply
plan, an integral part of the national statistical information‘system, through
the introduction of more suitable and simplified models for the MCI's complemen-
tary system arrangement.

This makes it possible to carry out the operational, statistical and forecasting
control of national production, agrarian marketing, commercial imports and
donations; the distribution made by national, provincial and district wholesale
enterprises; the stocks of the wholesale commercial system and the production
units; and the ocean, rail, highway and air traffic of supply products.

The control of the distribution exercised by the different types of consumption
benefited, supplies for defense, social consumption (education and health);
indirect consumption (hotels, lodging places and restaurants), incidential
consumption (special events, weddings and funerals) and the population's direct
consumption is also carried out in this way.

With a view toward introducing the implementation of the distribution plan by
the retail system in the districts, an analysis and systematization of planning
experiences and distribution control were undertaken, with emphasis on the role
of the party and state structures and organs, and the democratic mass organiza-
tions, on the district, local and circle level.

The experience gained will make it possible to determine distribution policies,
standards and criteria to be observed by the enterprise system associated with
distribution and by the home trade provincial and district organs.

The following problems and difficulties have cropped up in controlling commer-—
eial activity and distributing on the various levels:

COUNCIL OF MINISTERS DISCUSSES SUPPLY PROBLEMS WITH PRODUCERS

Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 4 May 85 p 1

[Text] Yesterday, members of the Council of Ministers, manufacturers, farmers,
breeders of cattle and small livestock, merchants and other businessmen,
as well as members of production and consumers' cooperatives, met for 4 hours
in Maputo and took the first steps in the search for solutions to the serious
problems that constitute obstacles to the production of goods and equipment
needed to supply the people and for export. In this way, the last day of
Commerce Week, associated with the marking of the 10th anniversary of national
independence, was spent.

The government delegation was headed by the minister of the presidency for
economic affairs, Jacinto Veloso, and was present at that meeting ordered by
President Samora Machel. It cousisted of the minister of construction and
water, Julio Carrilho; the minister of home trade, Aranda da Silva; the
minister of agriculture, Joao Ferreira; the governor of the Bank of Mozambique,
Prakash Ratilal; the vice minister of foreign trade, Daniel Gabriel; the vice
minister of finance and president of the BPD [People's Development Bank] ,Eneias
Comiche; and the vice minister of agriculture for the family and cooperative
sector, Francisco Pateguana. Also participating in the meeting were several
state secretaries and both national directors and directors of management
units.

The most important topics discussed were, among others, the bureaucratism,
ineffectiveness and lack of dynamism and aggressiveness in the state apparat;
the need to eliminate middlemen, who only complicate the working mechanisms
both in the acquisition of . parts and means of production and in the sale
of products, and raise the prices of these same products unnecessarily; the
importance of giving producers a greater financial capacity, especially in
foreign currency for importing parts and means of production; the question
of exporting quality products; the revision of the prices used by producers
now considered incompatible with production costs, since they only harm the
producer in the legal circuit; and the tax system applied to enterprises.

The members of the Council of Ministers promised to study the issues brought

up at the meeting, and immediately set a new meeting, so as to convey the
responses to the concerns voiced, indicating the courses of action to be pursued
to solve the problems that have cropped up.

BRIEFS

TWO NEW SHAFYS-~Iwo Anglo American Free State gold mines will sink new shafts
because of the higher gold price. Western Holdings is to start full-scale
sinking of Irfdeel No 2 main shaft. Free State Geduld is preparing to sink

No 10 shaft pending approval of the Minister of Mineral and Energy Affairs.

The Erfdeel No 2 Shaft was previously sunk to pre-sink depth and the headgear
and ancillary works were completed so that sinking operations could be started
at short notice. It is expected that the shaft will be brought into production
in 1993. Erfdeel No 1 main shaft and ventilation shaft have been sunk to their
final depths, Production is scheduled for April 1987 and the design capacity
for the mine with both shaft systems operating will be 225 000 tons a month.

» THE South African
» economy lags 50 years
‘behind the US in the
+ drive towards becom-
; ing a fully established
; information age econ-
; omy, the Chairman of
; the President’s Coun-
} cil, Dr Piet Koornhof, '
; said yesterday. y
Opening the South
African Computer Faire
tin Johannesburg, Dr
| Koornhof said a year-long
study had established this
fact and also that whereas '
the American economy ;
;has been a post industrial
economy for the past 30
years, for South Africa
ithe move into the infor- |

{mation era had just!

istarted. i
7 He said that in five
more than two mil-
lion people would be in-
}formation workers. Cur-
rently 53 percent of all
4 economically active
| Whites were employed as
information workers, but
for other race groups it
‘was five percent.
F In 1990 information
} workers would take home
i an estimated R70-billion
| in salaries and in line with

3400/288

claimed productivity gain

against this salary bill

would mean saving of

R14-billion.

“The impact that com-
puters ‘will have and the
role that information pro-
cessing will play in the fu-
ture well-being and devel-
opment of this country

ishould therefore not be
i underestimated,” Dr
*Koornhof said. i
Most recent projec-
‘tions on the size of the
\South African computer
vindustry show that ‘it
‘would grow from an esti--
[mated R1,7-billion ‘to
» pearly R4-billion in'1990-

A real 18 percent annual

compound growth rate

could be expected over
the next five years.

The top 15 computer
vending companies last
year sold in excess of R1-
billion in equipment and

| of that amount South.
African financed compan-
ies were only responsible
for 16 percent.

While that figure was
still low the strengthening
of the position of South
African-owned comipan-
ies marketing computers
was a strategically import-

62

ant trend for the country.
The Government was in-
tent on strengthening this
growing trend.

Dr Koornhof said the
Government's electronics
industry strategy rested
on two pillars:

@ The mobilisation of
the buying power of the +
State to support an inten-
sified programme of local :
content and design in

* Government and parasta-
tal government buying of
electronic equipment and

@ Developing the
country’s potential to de-
sign electronic systems, if ;

je ty with State aid
in the initial stages.

He said the committee
for electronics believed
computer peripherals
would be the product
most suited to local
manufacture and at a lat-
er stage consideration

! should be given to manu-
: facturing microcomputers
and minicomputers.

South Africa had
already made progress in
establishing micro-elec-
tronics systems which
manufactures integrated,
circuits (chips), he said.

-meeds' to defend his dignity and the dignity of the Rodriguan people. It is too
«*sbad that Mauritius is continuing to hold archaic views of relations between the
two islands. If those views are not changed, there is a danger that relations
between the two islands will deteriorate. I see that little attention is paid

to my observations. As I have often said, Mauritius is behaving like a bad
colonizer: .A first step toward decolonization would be to recognize capable
3Rodriguans and invite them to participate as equals in the development of an
autonomous Rodrigues Island. For some time, however, according to our observa-
tions, the Rodriguan population has been feeling stifled, and to find a little
fresh air, it has been trying to find any solution it can to that suffocation.
In opposition to that desire and will of the Rodriguan people to work for the
good of Rodrigues, Mauritius is pursuing a policy of politicking and hesitating
to'¢lear the path for internal autonomy--a path that corresponds to the desire
ofthe Rodriguan people more realistically than a path leading to an extremist
solution, which is being proposed by some. In any case, I ask myself a lot of
quéstions about Mauritian policy toward Rodrigues and the Rodriguan people.

[Question] Does the OPR have a voice when laws concerning the entire territory
are passed in Mauritius?

[Answer] ‘As I have pointed out, I am not consulted as leader of the OPR. I
could say what I think. Even if I don't agree, I could tell the prime minis-
ter to his face what I think. I cannot speak out, no matter what I say,

without the prime minister being informed as to what I think.
[Question] Do you meet with the prime minister?
[Answer] I am going to see him.

[Question] Doesn't the minister of Rodrigues and the outer islands pass in-
formation on to the OPR?

[Answer] The minister provides information with respect to development work.

Work is too individualistic, even in Rodrigues. Not enough importance is as-

signed to community development. What is lacking is an organization that will
think out all the work in Rodrigues with competent people.

And that brings us to the structures in Rodrigues. We advocate autonomy within
Rodrigues with a regional council. I will say that we should go further and
have a regional council and a cabinet of ministers in Rodrigues. Instead of
going all the way and demanding independence and so on, there is a moderate
formula which, in my opinion, can satisfy the Rodriguans, and that formula says
that Rodriguan affairs should be managed by Rodriguans, except, of course,

when it comes to foreign relations, security, and so on. I believe that
Mauritius is going to have a lot of trouble in the future if Rodrigues is not
granted autonomous status.

[Question]. A message published by the OPR at the start of the year was inter-
preted as criticism of the minister of Rodrigues and the outer islands.

To keep up the effort made in 1984 to procure donations of consumer goods for
the rural areas;

To reinforce the organization and management of marketing enterprises, because
it is they which ensure the commercial exchanges in the rural areas;

To reinforce the backing for installation and reopening of cooperative and
private stores in the rural areas; requiring a guarantee, on a priority basis,
for means of transportation for the commercial system in the rural areas.

A great deal of action was taken during 1984 to procure financing for this
group of activities, which will have positive repercussions in 1985. We
cite in particular:

Utilization of the French financing to support the marketing of cashew nuts
which, in addition to having allowed for the entry of various consumer goods
into Nampula Province, will, for the first time in the last 10 years, make it
possible to distribute nearly 30 trucks among those merchants in this province
who have distinguished themselves in agricultural marketing;

Utilization of the integrated copra and cashew programs, which will make it
possible to ensure a minimum amount of. consumer goods for supplies, for the
first time guaranteeing the financial means for this to occur in a timely
manner, in addition to the distribution of a certain number of vehicles for the
private and cooperative consumer merchants of Cabo Delgado, Zambezia, Gaza

and Inhambane;

Reduction of the action of the armed bandits in Gaza and Inhambane, which has
already allowed for a certain amount of reactivation in the commercial system of
those provinces, thus decreasing the need for primary marketing functions to

be discharged by AGRICOM [Agricultural Products Marketing Company].

Expanding State Control of the Wholesale Sector

The Ministry of Home Trade has three state national distributing enterprises
under its jurisdiction, COGROPA [Wholesale Trade of Foodstuffs], ENCATEX
(National Textile Enterprise] and PESCOM [Mozambican Fishing Enterprise],

which are organized into a system of regional warehouses and provincial agencies.
The latter are being converted into state provincial wholesale agencies, one of
which is private (ZUID). In the distribution area, the system manages nine
national distributing enterprises, under the jurisdiction of other ministries
(GAPECOM, AVICOLA, SOGERE, three tobacco enterprises, TRADIMEX, HORTOFRUTICOLAS
and PETROMOC).

In this context, the following provincial wholesale enterprises were created:
In 1982, Cabo Delgado, currently with 10 district agencies;

In 1983, Niassa, with five district agencies;

SATS TRANSFERS R2,000-M ASSETS TO TERRITORY'S CENTRAL GOVERNMENT

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 11 May 85 p 5

[Text]

WINDHOEK. — The
Minister of Transport Af-
fairs, Mr Hendrik Schoe-
man, signed an agree-
ment in Windhoek yester-
day to transfer ownership
of South African Trans-
port Services assets of
more than R2 000-million
in South West Africa to
the territory’s central gov-
ernment.

cso: 3400/329

The agreenient was co-
signed by the Adminis-
trator-General, Dr Willie
van Niekerk, who con-
trols the central author-
ity.

In terms of the agree-
ment, South Africa re-
nounced its right of own-
ership of all fixed proper-
‘ty and rolling stock used
in the SWA road and rail
transportation network,
excluding the harbour
and harbour services in
the Walvis Bay enclave.

Mr Schoeman said at
the ceremony that the
agreement provided for
the continued operation
by SATS of the transport
services in SWA, on a
contractual basis.

The arrangement
would apply until the
SWA government was in
a position to assume con-
trol of those functions.

Until that time, the ter-
Titory’s authority would
assume financial responsi-
bility for the management
and operations by SATS
of both the road and rail
services in the territory,

and the harbour services
of Luderitz.

“In order to relieve the
financial burden of the
takeover for the territory,
SATS will, for the first
three years, carry 30 per-
cent, 20 percent and 10
percent respectively of
any operational losses,”
Mr Schoeman said.

The general manager of
SATS, Mr E Grove, said
the estimated loss in the.
1983/84 budget for SATS
in SWA amounted to
R90-million, but because
of various savings the ac-
tual loss amounted to
R66-million,

Indications were that

the operational loss for -

the last financial year
would be less than R40-
million. .

Mr Schoeman said
SAA would continue its
usual services to SWA
and no requests had been
received for landing rights
in the territory by other
international airways ser-
vices.

SATS personnel in the
territory would remain on

47

the payroll of South Afri-
ca and their conditions of
service would be un-
changed.

“The Government of
the Republic of South
Africa trusts that the gov-
ernment of SWA will util-
ise effectively these trans-
port assets to develop and
Tealise the physical and
human potential of
SWA,” Mr Schoeman
said.

Dr Van Niekerk said in
his speech that favourable
financial and other ar-
rangements had been
concluded with South
Africa for the continued
operations of transport
services in SWA.

‘In reply to an inquiry,
the chief executive official
in SWA, Mr Jan Greebe,
said the territory had paid
no compensation to South
Africa for the acquisition
of SATS’ property, in-
cluding 148 diesel loco-
motive units.

South Africa took over
the railways in SWA 63
years ago. — Sapa.

Problems of the Youth

During the interview, there was also a discussion of some of the problems
affecting the youth in particular, such as the country's difficulties in
finding places for all young people in the schools, where they can study or
continue their studies; and the employment needs, based on the preferences

of each individual; as well as the. housing problem. As Zacarias Kupela
noted, these and other problems have been the subject of debate and discussion
at meetings sponsored by the OJM, with the participation of other democratic
mass and socio-professional organizations and agencies of the state apparat.

The OJM secretary general commented: “For example, we can state that no one
can complain of the lack of employment: We have the land that can absorb our
entire youth force. But because of material conditions, there is an influx
of youth from the rural areas to the urban areas, where there are stores,
footwear, movies, electric power and music. It is our job, along with other
agencies, to mobilize the youth and to create conditions enabling the young
person in'the rural area to enjoy the same conditions as those in the urban
center." He concluded by saying: "This is a difficult job, but it is not
impossible; it will take time."

Discussing the housing problem, which is one of the concerns of the youth,
especially when they want to set up a household, Zacarias Kupela claimed that
the solutions have also been easier in the rural areas, where it is possible
to build houses quickly, improved with brick for example.

The use of. spare time, one of OJM's priority activities, was also taken up in
this interview with TVE.and the weekly DOMINGO. In the first place, the
secretary general observed that, during these first 7 years of its existence,
the attention of the organization that he heads has been turned toward the
establishment of its structures. However, he said that there had been several
initiatives carried out, aimed at giving a response to that concern on the part
of our youth. As an example, he said that great attention is being paid to
recreation at present by all the OJM rank and file agencies:

"Excursions, dances and meetings among youth are planned and organized; visits
are paid to exchange views; and mini-cultural and sports festivals are being
sponsored. We are also concerned with the creation of mini-libraries; but we
realize that the work accomplished falls short of the needs of the youth.
There must be a pooling of efforts between the OJM and the state agencies with
that responsibility; because investment is required so as to hold recreational
activities in a proper, scheduled manner."

Second Conference of OJM
Zacarias Kupela mentioned the Second Conference of Mozambican Youth, scheduled

for the beginning of next year, stating that Youth Week "will also be a time for
actually starting the activities in preparation for holding it." And he noted:

30



[Answer] The message we published was a report on the OPR's activities. The
OPR criticized itself. If the minister and the administration believe that
they were the targets, they are mistaken. It was a matter of the OPR engaging

in self-criticism.
[Question] What about the future of Rodrigues?

[Answer] At the political level, we will see a number of parties come to life
in Rodrigues. It is absolutely certain that those parties will not be moderate
like the OPR. They will be parties favoring secession--independence--although
we believe that independence for Rodrigues, while it may be realistic, is not

in the cards in the near future.

As far as the OPR is concerned, the future lies in its new strategy. I am not
going to reveal details on that subject. But I can say right now that we are
going to give more power to our assembly of delegates. In other words, if a
government comes to power in the future and wants the OPR to be in the govern-
ment, and if that government gives the OPR a ministry, it is the assembly of
delegates that will choose its minister, Mauritius will not be able to decide
for us 5 years from now as it did in 1983, If Mauritius in the future does
not want to accept what the Rodriguan people decide, it will have to accept
responsibility for the consequences. We in the OPR are confident, but we are
watching the policy of Mauritius and its idea of the place of Rodrigues in

Mauritian territory.

WASTE OF FISHING EQUIPMENT SCORED

Kaduna THE DEMOCRAT WEEKLY in English 14 Apr 85 p 4

[Editorial:

[Text]

“Another White Flephant"]

IT is scandalous that while Nigeria imported
nearly 140,000 tonnes of fish with its scarce
foreign exchange resources last year, the
Nigerian National Fish Company (NNFC)
which was established 10 years ago for the
purpose of catching and processing fish for
local consumption and export has remained
inactive. The import figures for previous
years speak for themselves. In 1983, the

‘country imported over 238,854 tonnes of

fish and in 1982, more than 244,408 tonnes.
These did not include sardines, canned fish
and stock fish iniports, all but the last of
which the moribund company has the capac-
ity to produce.

At the same time, local fish output last

year declined by over 33 percent on the’

figure for the previous year. According to a
source interviewed for our front page story
of today, if the multi-million Naira-ships of
the company were operational, Nigeria
would by now have satisfied its local demand
and become a large-scale exporter of
fish and fish products. This would have
earned the country a huge amount of fore-
ign exchange.

Another dimension to the issue is that
NNFC ships and equipment, purchased for
millions of Naira with tax payers’ money, lie
idle at the ports at the mercy of the chang-
ing weather year after year. Worse still,
the ships constitute a danger to sea traffic
and even when docked they contravene
international maritime laws as their naviga-
tional lights and engines are said to be
unreliable due to lack of fuel. This carries a
stiff penalty because of the great risk of
collision with other vessels.

RESTORATION OF HWANGE POWER GENERATION NEEDED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 20 May 85 p.20

[Article by Daan de Kock]

[Text]

cso:

IT IS vital that the
Hwange power station,
which was put out of
action by a serious ex-
plosion, be restored to
its full generation ca-
pacity, the chairman of
Wankie Colliery , Mr
DD Kandenhe, says in
his chairman’s state-
ment.

“We chad planned on

. the basis that Hwange

3400/277

was to be used as a base
Joad station although we
realise that this cannot be
achieved immediately,”
he said.
He said power gener-
ation at the plant was
completely after
-the explosion iri the No 2
boiler. It started working
again on a small scale
only in August last year.
‘The result of this was
that the Electricity Supply
Commission took deliv-
ery of only 300 000 tons of
power station coal (HPS)

compared with 1 195000.

tons which has been esti-
mated.

Because of the accident
other power stations in
' Zimbabwe had to in-
‘crease their generating
capacity and 224 000 tons
of washed and dry coal
were sold"to these sta-
tions.

Mr Kandenhe says that
end February 1985 two
generating sets were op-
erating at the Hwange
station and a third is to be
‘commissioned by the mid-

"dle of this year. It is esti-
mated that Wankie Colli-
ery will be asked to sup-
ply 600 000 tons of HPS
coal in the 12 months
commencing March 1985.

“Once HPS coal deliv-
eries to Hwange reach

‘the levels originally con-

‘templated, the cost of the

‘coal will be competitive
with coal supplied to pow-
er stations in similar situa-
tions and the revenue
generated will facilitate

.the repayment of the
company’s outstanding
loans.

In the curent year and.
throughout 1986 we. will

° shave to face the disrup-

tion of the coke oven re-
build. The next two years
are likely to be difficult at
the colliery but I have no
doubt that our employees
will responde positively to
the challenges and that
the Government of Zim-
babwe will continue to
uphold the Coal Price
Agreement.”

Wankie’s share closed
at 26c on the JSE on Fri-
day. This is substantially

” better than the low of 15c

a share it reached during
the middle of last year.

Whether it will con-
tinue to improve will de-
pend somewhat on the re-
sumption of the supply of
HPS coal to Hwange and
the ability of the Zim-
babwe Government to
uphold the coal price
agreement.

The university’s first
black rector, Professor
William Kgware, said in
1980 that, in his opinion,
Government changes to
education had come too
late. He believed that
some of the 1976 vio-

lence could have been |
' avoided if changes had

been introduced 20
years earlier. His words
could prove prophetic.
Ironically, Professor
Kgware was always re-

garded by radical stu-

‘dents as. a puppet of “the

system”.

ANGOLA

SAVIMBI ON SWA INDEPENDENCE--Windhoek.--The Angolan rebel movement, Unita,

wanted to participate in the South West Africa independence process.

Unita's

leader, Dr Jonan Savimbi, was quoted as saying that Unita would pay any price
to ensure participation in the SWA process toward independence. Dr Savimbi

added that Unita could ill-afford a hostile government at its rear.

In a state-

ment issued at Jamba, the movement's headquarters in Southern Angola, Dr Savimbi
said Unita would attack and destroy Angola's economic infrastructure until Cuban
forces withdrew from the country. Unita had suspended informal contact with

the International Committee of the Red Cross. In future, foreigners captured

in Angola would be discussed with the Paris-based Doctors Without Frontiers
Organisation. According to the Windhoek report, Unita claimed at least 10 ANC
members and five civilian members of Angola's secret police had been killed in
an attack in Angola earlier this month. The Unita statement added that an in-
tensive campaign had begun in Unita's liberated areas to immunise people against
measles, polio and tetanus. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 22 May

* Suddenly ‘no-one

about *Toekomsgesprek’
(future conversation) and
those linked to it in Press

East Rand engineer Mr
Schalk (“Kallie”) van der

he said that no such orga-

In a Cape Town inter-
view, Dr Treurnicht told

“However,” he said,
“if the Broederbond mov-
¢s in the wrong direction,
it must expect other orga-

ing that do take the right

road.

“The Broederbond, the
Ruiterwag and any other

nicht.

The existence of the
new. secret organisation
which has close links with
the Conservative Party
and other ultra-rightwing
groups, were revealed in
documents which have
come into the possession
of a Johannesburg's Afri-
kgans newspaper.

it noted that Volkswag
had issued an official
statement strongly deny-
ing it was a front organi-
sation for a secret body.

The ‘leader of. the
Volkswag, Prof Carel
Boshoff, dismissed such
Glaims as “‘laughable.and
groundless.”

According to a’ docu-
ment dated February this
year, Toekomsgesprek’s
strategy was outlined in a
speech by its head named
by the paper as Mr “Kal-

“lie” van der Merwe — to

its executive council on
November 24 last year.

The paper said the
council acted as the ex-
ecutive body of the orga-
nisation, which reliable
sources said had a mem-
bership of about 500 who
were divided into banches
or cells called “‘conversa-
tion groups.”

BUSINESSMAN BLAMES GOVERNMENT FOR ECONOMIC CRISIS

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 3 May 85 p 5

[Text]

cso:

THERE was not a
snowball’s chance of an
economic _ recovery. in |
Namibia — now or
‘ever — unless excessive
government. — spending
was drastically curtailed
and kept in firm check.

This uncompromisising
prognosis comes from
business ombudsman Eric
Lang who, speaking from
his Swakopmund " Villa
yesterday said it was no
use government ‘casting
some of the resonsibility
back to business. :

“Government’s lack ‘of
contro! of the economy is
the cause ‘for our sorry
economic’ condition .- to-
day,""he'stid. |

“The cost of government
is hopelessly too high” and
the ‘overweight
bureaucracy’s .’ current
spending of 70% ‘of the
country’s GDP (60% on
current and the balance on
capital expenditure) was
“totally unacceptable.”

Mr Lang said he

welcomed the prospect of a
mew government : which
would be an improvement
on the. present. interim
system. *
. “It remains to be seen if
the incoming Multiparty
government can deal with
this situation, however.
The immediate future de-
pends on them.” © ~

Referring to the
economic decline of the
past few years, Mr Lang
said he saw no significant
recovery in agriculture
despite the good rains this
last season.

“This is because about.
40% of the commercial

farming community is’in-
solvent, based on :un-
realistic land values and in
terms of their productive
throughput .. on depleted
pastures.” .

The amount

of toan|

begun acting to counter
this, according to Mr
Lang, who said on these
grounds the sector could
not recover in the
foreseeable future.

The primary sector,
which was the country’s
“locomotive force”, had
also suffered _severe
damage in the mining sec-
tor where “the creaming
off of our natural resources
over the past years has
shortened the life-span and
profitability of — these
“resources.” .

“After many years of
‘eye-picking’” (intended
-recovery of high-grade
lineal deposits) I cannot
see a significant recovery
_ from what's left.”

“Now the chickens have
“come ‘home to roost and
the mining companies are
saddled with low-grade
; ores “and inflation-boosted
' production’ ~ costs. 7
‘wouldn’t attatch too much
‘importance to the sales
bonus resulting from the

“J am grateful to see a
