It is easy to understand the problem fac-

The Government’s plan offers reform.

The questions they ask themselves are:

Do we accept the plan with qualifications

LESOTHO

SOUTH AFRICAN SUPPORT FOR MOKHELE CHARGED
MB251312 Maseru Domestic Service in English 1130 GMT 25 Aug 82
[Station Commentary]

[Text] The South African newspaper, GOLDEN CITY PRESS, of the 22nd of August
1982, says Ntsu Mokhele (head of the Lesotho Liberation Army] is staying in
South Africa, where he is waging a war against the Lesotho Government. The
newspaper says through its investigations, it was told that Mokhele operates
from Welkom Vereeniging and Soweto under heavy guard. The newspaper also
says the South African security police are aware of the LLA activities.
Security police are not only aware but they also provide the LLA the logistics
of the (?army).

At this juncture, it is important to note that this newspaper, GOLDEN CITY
PRESS, has openly stated that Mokhele is living in South Africa and his LLA
men have bases in that country from where they mount the attacks on Lesotho.

Some South African papers have repeatedly avoided this fact and cowardly
stated that Mokhele lived on the Lesotho-South African borders. The same news—
paper, GOLDEN CITY PRESS, has also clearly stated that the South African
security police are aware of the LLA activities.

Armed with this information, it would be foolish of any sober minded South
African not to believe repeated accusations of the Lesotho Government that if
it were not because of the support the LLA receives from the South African
Government, it would not be existing and mounting its attacks on Lesotho from
the South African soil.

It is gratifying to note that some South African newspapers are beginning to
write the truth that Lesotho has consistently spoken. The newspaper story
confirms that Mokhele operates from South Africa--with full knowledge of the
South African authorities--to destabilize Lesotho by murdering the Basuthu
people and black South African political refugees living in Lesotho.

GOLDEN CITY PRESS further reports that one Basuthu Congress Party contact in
South Africa said the LLA was receiving its military training in Zambia. It
would be stupid of anybody to believe this story, moreso because Mokhele was
expelled from Zambia because of his sinister activities against Lesotho, and

CAR STRIKES PUT WHITES ON WELFARE

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN

[Text] ‘THE National Auto-
mobile and Allied
|Workers’ Union is to-
day meeting all
union members em-
ployed by Ford, the
Port Elizabeth motor
company which laid
off 507 workers last
Friday.

Main topic of the
meeting, due to start at
10 am and continue un-
til mid-day, will be the
lay-offs. A NAAWU
spokesman said yester-
day that possible
courses of action that
might be taken against
Ford would also be dis-
cussed.

Ford laid off the
workers when they col-
lected their weekly pay
packets, telling them
that the country’s
worsening economic
situation was the
reason for. their dis-
missal.

A statement issued
by the company said
that a marked decline
in sales of new motor
vehicles was expected
and that avoiding lay-
offs through shorter
shifts was no longer’
possible.

Ford has been closed
because of production
disruptions since last
Tuesday and will re-

open its plants on Fri-
day of this week.

Meanwhile hundreds
of white workers have
been made the “unfor-
tunate victims of cir-
cumstances” by con-
tinuing wage disputes
at the Eastern Cape's
three motor giants.

Mr Henry Ferreira,
deputy chief secretary
of the white Iron, Steel
and Allied Industries
Union, said his mem-
bers had found them-
selves in an impossible
situation in which they
had played no part.

“They want to work
but are prevented from
doing so. They are suf-
fering through no fault
of their own.”

These workers had
been without income
while the factories have
not been producing,
and this had caused fi-
nancial hardship for
many families, Mr Fer-
reira

Many _ hard-pressed
families have turned to
welfare organisations
for aid.

Dr M H Vorster, di-
rector of Social work
services of the Christe-
like Maatskaplike
Raad, Port Elizabeth,
said yesterday that fa-
milies of motor com-
pany employees had
come to them for help.

“We have had to help
these people with food,
paying their lights and
water bills and, in some
cases, their home rent-

als. There most certain-
ly has been an increase
of people from motor
firms asking for Lelp
since the start of the
dispute.”

His organisation was
concerned that last
week's lay-offs by Ford
would result in more re-
quests for aid, he said.
“When we budgeted for
this year we obviously
did not know there
would be these prob-
lems at the motor
plants. I don’t know if
we have allowed suffi-
cient funds,” Dr.
Vorster said.

tails, but Dublin news-

MacArthur, son of a

of Cambridge Universi-
ty, was also charged

SOUTH AFRICA

with an armed break-in
near Dublin two weeks
ago. He was granted
legal aid and is due to
appear in court again
on Thursday.

The row comes at a
difficult time for Mr
Haughey, whose minor-
ity Government this
week faces a crucial



Chase Manhattan Bank so that Touré could put his
views to managers of 100 US multinationals. (Earlier
Touré met with Ronald Reagan).

Attempts have been made since 1978 to liberalise
the highly bureaucratic economic structure by allowing
private traders to open up retail and wholesale shops
for most products except basic foodstuffs. There is now
a far better supply of goods, and a once flourishing
black market, largely based on trade with Liberia, Sierra
Leone and Gambia, has been much reduced.

Agriculture, however, is in sad shape. Farmers totally
lack incentives and collective farms are hopelessly in-
efficient. Low producer prices, coupled with favourable
trading opportunities on the local black-market and in
neighbouring countries, have resulted in only a small
share of Guinea’s agricultural production passing
through the official distribution system. The national
currency, the Syli (Elephant), is practically worthless
and is traded at up to four times its official value against
the CFA franc and US dollar. Guinean authorities say
that they aim to make eventually the Syli fully
convertible — a suggestion which should not be taken
seriously.

One of the major brakes on the economy is institu-
tionalised corruption, a means by which the élite
develop and maintains its political and tribal clientéle.
Sometimes, however, things go too far. Last spring,
Touré promised to pursue vigorously a government
clean-up campaign by cutting back on overstaffed
state enterprises and pushing through inquiries into the
operations of such concerns as Jmportex, the state
export-import monopoly. The staté mineral exporting
body, Prominex is now to reduce its staff and submit
a detailed account of all minerals shipped through the
port of Conakry. The biggest surprise involved the
sacking of Touré’s half brother, “Abraham Kabassan
Keita, minister of public works. He was accused of using
for the construction of his own villas building materials
destined for the OAU facilities. Several junior officials
were also axed.

The affair was clearly only the tip of the iceberg. The
issue is extremely sensitive because it directly involves
the Touré far ‘ty clan. The government is largely a
family matter. In fact, one of Keita’s faithfuls tried to
assault Touré in his palace, the third assassination
attempt against him in the last three years. The two
clans of the extended presidential family are kept happy
with retainers in Conakry and in the hinterland.
Basically, the two clans include Touré’s half brothers
and his brothers-inlaw. In the first category is

cso: 4700/1767

Abdoulage Touré, foreign minister; Ismael Touré,
minister of mines; and Siaka Touré, minister of
transport. The second clan is composed of Sékou Chérif,
minister of the interior; Moussa Diakité, minister of
housing and urban development; and Seydou Keita,
minister of youth.

It is an open secret that President Touré’s wish is to
make an official visit to Paris, thereby consolidating the
rapprochement with France. Former president Giscard
d’Estaing made a trip to Guinea in 1978, and Touré was
supposed to repay the visit last year. However, Frangois
Mitterrand’s election placed unexpected obstacles on the

path of the Franco-Guinean rapprochement, for Touré
had lashed out at the socialists when one of their mem-
bers wrote a critical book on Guinea’s political system,
focusing on the poor human rights record of Touré.
We understand that Touré had to cancel a planned
trip to Paris last spring when the Mitterrand admini-
stration refused to muzzle the vociferous Guinean
opposition in France. The trip could be rescheduled
for early autumn, but hiccups still exist. The French
are requesting a reply to an official note from Paris
stating that a dozen or so missing Guineans with French
nationality have died in prison. Touré’s trip may be
scuttled unless Guinean diplomacy is convincing. Other
difficulties exist too:- if France has again become
Conakry’s chief commercial partner, French aid remains
very limited because Touré refuses to deal with what he
calls the “neo-colonial” minister of development and
cooperation, maintaining relations only with the Quai
d’Orsay @

THREE NEW CITIES LIKELY BY 2000, SAYS EXPERT

Harare THE HERALD in English 7 Aug 82 p 6

[Text]

CSO:

THREE new cities: with a total population of more than 1,5 million
could rise in Zimbabwe before the end of the century, a Zimbabwean

academic believes.

‘The director of the Uni-
versity of Zimbabwe's re-
gional and urban planning.
centre, Mr Peter van
Hoffen, said in an inter-
view that hundreds of
small towns should be es-
tablished but few of these
would have the potential
for rapid growth into
cities.

“The small centres at

wth points are needed;
the Government must be
seen to be active, But I
don't think many of them
will grow beyond about
2.000 people.”

Such towns would have
& post office, police post,
schools, shops, crop depots
and people ‘like  black-
smiths, leather workers,
bicycle repairers and peo-
ple making building ma-
terlals.

To become a big city
quickly, a growth point
needed good communica-
tions, a hinterland, a lot
of people living ‘nearby
and @ very close source of
lay for bricks, among

other factors,

“There are not that
many places Zimba-
we.” Basically there was
an arc north of Harare
stretching from around
Karol east ‘to the border,
parts of the Midlands and
south of Bulawayo with
other patches here and
there,

The three areas which
could support a new big
city were: Around Bikita,

4700/1764

either Rusape or. Mutare,
and either Shamva or
Bindura, said Mr Van
Hoffen.

A town like Hwange
was unlikely to grow into
@ great city. “It hasn’t
got a hinterland; very few
people live around ‘there

‘and the climate isn’t the
best.”

But if, three new cities
were to rise then a great
deal of planning, hard
work and resources were
needed, he said.

He thought many of the
houses in the small towns
could be built by the
people themselves, with
responsible authorities and
the Government surveying
stands and providing ser-
vices.

The - potential _ elties
would need more. Houses
and facilities would have
to be provided before large
workforces moved in and
industrialists could be
attracted.

‘The chief executive of
the Confederation of Zim-
babwe Industries, Mr
Tony Read, agreed. “To
attract workers, skilled
or unskilled, to a growth
point you must have all
the facilities and the
infrastructure.”

TRANSPORT

This meant houses,
schools, shops, roads, hos-
pitals and sports facilities
had to be in the area from
the beginning. They could
either by provided by the
developing agency, or, if

123

it was made worth his
while, by the industrialist.

‘Transport was also vital
for the industrialist. Big
centres had to be con-
nected to the road and
rail grid by good roads
and some of the centres
could be set up along
branch raflway lines.

Zimbabwe's industry
was already decentralised,
compared to many other
African. countries. “But
what we are talking about
cow are h points.
Our industrialists are
very open to developing
these.”

Mr Reed said the CZI,
fm its many discussions
with the Government, had
talked about the indus-
trialisation of growth
points;

COUNTRY'S FUTURE OPTIONS EXAMINED

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 13 Aug 82 pp 1-2

{Editorial]

(Text ]

Negotiations for a
UN-supervised election
continued this week in
New York and
elsewhere at a swift pace
‘wut the prospects of the
election actually
materialising become
dimmer by the day.

And SA is not the
prime reason; the issue
has become too complex
to draw ‘such a simple
conclusion.

Moreover, the days
are over that the Nami-
bian issue can be treated
in absolute isolation; it is
now more intensely in-
ternationalised than
ever, the super powers
are playing an in-
creasingly bigger role
and the SWA and
Angolan issues have

become inextricably
linked.
Lets look at the
basics:

@ The SA Government
is not prepared to agree
to the election unless the
Cubans withdraw. The
reason is partly strategic

and partly because PM
Piet Botha does not
want to be seen to be sel-
ling the Whites in SWA
down the river;
@ The Soviet Union
which has a bigger say
in Luanda than is
generally appreciated
would be most reluctant
to allow the MPLA to
agree to. such a
withdrawal;
@ And the MPLA can-
not afford to buck either
the Soviets, Cubans or
East Germans, and even
if it did, it would make
itself most vulnerable to
a palace revolution and
a terrific onslaught by
Unita which already oc-
cupies the greater part of
Angola’s south-east.

This situation is made
even more complicated
by the Americans giving
tacit support to SA’s
etand, and certainly not
least because of the US's
own interests in the mat-
ter.

The US is naturally
anti-Soviet and as such

27

is not particularly well-
disposed towards or
sympathetic to a Soviet-

influenced and perhaps
controlled marxist
regime in Luanda which
in any event has limited
popular support and
which is opposed by a
strongly Western group,
namely Unita.

Moreover, the Ford
Republican Administra-
tion gave Unita con-
siderable moral support
in the 1975 Angolan
civil war and Unita
leader Dr Jonas Savimbi
presently has fairly easy
access to the highest
echelons of the US and
other Western govern-
ments.

The Reagan Ad-
ministration indeed
would be much happier
with Dr Savimbi in
power in Luanda; the
US’s political += and
economic leverage in
Angola would be sub-
stantially greater, its in-
terests in Zaire, SWA
and SA would be better

NAMIBIA

assured and its muscle in
Africa at large would be
largely consolidated.

Also significant in the
background to the pre-
sent Namibian settle-
ment process is that the
political and economic
situation in Angola has
become so volatile that
Angola may lend itself
to major upheavals in
the near future which
could’ change the entire
direction of the Namj-
bian settlement process.

What does this add up
to? Simply this: Unita
could rise to power in
Angola, the Western in-
itiative on a SWA settle-
ment could collapse
once and for all and
Swapo might find itself
out in the cold without a
formidible base to direct
its military operations
into SWA.

These developments
could then also prove
extremely icy for Zam-
bia and Zimbabwe.

So what are the op-
tions for SWA then?



DODOMA WATER SHORTAGE TO CONTINUE

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 9 Aug 82 p 3

[Text]

cso:

RESIDENTS of Dodoma will
continue to  experien-
ce water shortages until the
whole water distribution
network is replaced, Shihata
reported.

The Water Department and
Capital ; Development
Authority (CDA) officials said
this when briefing the
regional anti-cholera com-
mittee on problems of water
supply in the new capital over
the weekend.

Earlier on, the committee
viewed concern that unless
the urban water supply at
Dodoma, improved, frequent
outbreaks of communicable
diseases would continue.

The officials said the
present water supply in
Dodoma- was inadequate
because of a worn out
distribution system laid out
over 50 years ago when
Dodoma’s population was
below 10,000.

Since 1973, when the old
Dodoma town was proclaimed
the new national capital, the
town’s population has grown
fron. about 30,000 to over
90,000 people. The borehole
sources feeding Dodoma give
only five million gallons of
water a day.

It is now estimated that
Dodoma’s population growth
rate is about 13 per cent per
year and has pot been sup-
ported by a corresponding

4700/1761

provision of infrastructure
» services such as water.

Presenting the 1982/83
estimates in the just-ended
Budget Session of National
Assembly, the Minister of
State in the President’s Office,
Capital Development, Ndugu
G. Kahama, said “‘it’ is only
after completion of the
current infrastructure
programme that Dodoma will
be relieved of its ever
recurring crisis of water shor -
tage”.

Electricity and water sup-
plies at Dodoma are two in-
terlinked problems. The
Government last year set up a
task force from Ministry of
Water and Energy to find best
ways of solving the problems.

SETTLEMENT SEEN INCHING ALONG

NAMIBIA

London AFRICA CONFIDENTIAL in English 4 Aug 82 pp 4-5

[Text]

Hopes of achieving a viable Namibian settlement will
hang on developments in the next two weeks. Western
diplomats remain optimistic that the South Africans
will not back off at the last moment, and the imminent
arrival of a South African military team in New York to
discuss cease-fire arrangements augured well.

But the much-vaunted proximity talks which started
on 6 July in New York (AC Vol 12 No 13), have
proceeded erratically and not at the foreign minister
level which the Western contact group had suggested
would be appropriate. They have been in recess since the
end of the month to enable a contact group team to visit
Namibia to brief the internal parties on the outcome of
the consultations to date.

South Africa has not formally stated its position on
the remaining key issues: namely the type of electoral
system, the composition and deployment of UNTAG
troops and ceasefire arrangements. Bilateral talks
between Brand Fourie, South African ambassador in
Washington, and, Riaan Ecksteen, former UN ambassa-
dor, have taken place primarily with US officials. At
least this avoids some of the more fatuous arrangements
necessary if the SWAPO and South African delegations
were to meet in the same building.

Not surprisingly these arrangements have, however,
fuelled suspicions by SWAPO and the front line states
that private understandings have been reached to which
they are not party. SWAPO’s Hidipo Hamutenya, the
organisation’s Luanda-based secretary for information,
claims that “there is no tangible evidence to show that
any progress has been made on the Namibian negotia-
tions over the last two months”. Hamutenya, one of
SWAPO’s younger and most articulate and pragmatic
senior leaders, has been heading the SWAPO delegation
to the talks in New York, together with UN representa-
tive Theo Ben Gurirab.

SWAPO is certainly worried by the emphasis placed
by both the US and South Africa on the need for Cuban
troops to be withdrawn, and South African insistance
that their withdrawal is now a precondition for
Pretoria’s compliance with a Namibian settlement.
SWAPO also resents being left in the dark over the
bilateral talks between the US and Angola and South
Africa and the US.

The desire of SWAPO and the front line states to have
a more formal negotiating framework in which South
Africa directly participates, is motivated principally by
the fear that there are now so many amplifications,
interpretations, explanations, and modifications to the
original settlement plan that even in the case of uncon-
ditional acceptance by all parties, it is doubtful whether
they would agree on the terms they had previously
agreed to. This is highlighted in the case of the cease-fire
arrangements. Western diplomats now say that it would
be unrealistic to expect a cease-fire to take effect from
day one of the arrival of a UN military force. Instead a
cease-fire would have to be established before imple-
mentation began.

The deployment of UNTAG, whose final composition
has to be determined by the UN secretary-general, could
in any case not take place by 15 August, the provisional
date for a cease-fire. However it has been agreed that it
will exclude contingents from both the contact group
and front line states. So determination of its composi-
tion is not regarded as a serious obstacle. South Africa is
clearly not willing to sign a formal cease-fire with
SWAPO, as it would regard this as tantamount to con-
ferring the legitimacy on SWAPO it has so strenously
opposed. This will mean that there will be no outside
body to monitor an initial cease-fire until UNTAG is

Looking beyond the first superficial impression there was, of course, not

total agreement with his rule. But those who opposed could do little to stand
up to the king's might. When radical opposition became threatening, King
Sobhuza suspended the constitution in 1973, a mere five years after independence
from Britain, and resorted to oppressive actions like detention without trial.
Yet, in spite of all this, his governing still remained relatively benign.

That this was so, and that King Sobhuza continued to enjoy the veneration of
his people, was due to a number of factors such as: His long-established role
as a national unifying force; his talent for reconciliation allied with the
lack of victimisation or erstwhile enemies; his brilliance in managing simul-
taneously to continue much of traditional rule and customs while yet encour-
aging a fair amount of economic development.

Now there is uncertainty, beginning even with the method of choosing the next
king.

South Africa has an obvious interest in what happens in our neighbouring coun-
try. Pretoria will no doubt be hoping for perpetuation of conservative rule
and the continuance, at the very least, of the present formally distant but
still friendly relations. On the other hand, any swift growth in radical
opposition with possible upheavals are bound to have effects here.

While these matters might lie somewhat in the future, the Ingwavuma land deal
is an issue of the moment. On Swaziland's side it must be doubted whether any
new king will be able to persuade his subjects, as King Sobhuza would have
been able to do, that they should assimilate nearly twice their number as
citizens. On Pretoria's side, whatever hopes, there must be anxiety about
Swaziland's future role.

There must therefore be a shared interest in holding back. Taking into account
also the intense anger elsewhere about the land deal it should now be called
off.

-aside from minor inac-
curacies I was more than
right in my allegations.”

Turning to the present
government system in
Namibia, Mr Lang said
“While the sins of 32 years
of National Party govern-
ment are now catching up
with us, the bungled
change-over to’a new dis-
pensation under AG 8 has
led the partial breakdown
of sections of the govern-
ment machinery.

“Severe —_understaffing,
the appointment of
political cronies _ not
qualified to fill their posi-
tions, running battles on
different government levels
and an increase in corrup-
tion have undermined large
sections of the
bureaucracy.”

This was tantamount to
the Territory’s political
leaders “fiddling while
Rome burns,” he charged.

Several questions need
to be asked, according to
Mr Lang.

These are:

@ Why does the Govern-
ment hide some of the
statistics on the economy
— mining in particular?
Contrary to official
reasons that vital informa-
tion would “benefit our
overseas enemies”. Mr
Lang argued that “the
brunt of the statistical han-
dicap is borne by the op-
position in the country and
the business community
that is trying to plan its in-
vestments within a data-
vacuum.

@ Why does the Govern-
ment allow the dangerous
understaffing of the
Auditor-General’s _ office
and that of the Receiver of
Revenue at a time when
the country’s finances are
in chaos? .

@ When will Government
introduce legislation and

cso: 4700/1768

create investment instru-
ments designed to en-
courage the reinvestment
of profits for local
development?

@ Why does the Govern-
ment not sit down with the
SA Government and de-
mand the redefinition of
the trading relationship as
one of equal partners?

@ When will the Govern-
ment face up to the fact
that the agricultural com-
munity is not viable in its
present form and stop
maintaining this unviable
state with _ ill-conceived
subsidies?

Mr Lang called for
creative governments plan-
ning for the long term “as
if we had independence
already or as if in-
dependence will never
come — both scenarios
need a valid economy.”

The productive reinvest-
ment in physical and social
infrastructure of the Ter-
ritory could have led to the
more equitable redistribu-
tion of wealth and the crea-
tion of a middle-class —
“the only effective bulwark
against communism,” ac-
cording to Mr Lang.

A “dent”

Another Nationalist newspaper, in an edi-
torial, says it is possible that the far
Right parties “will make a dent.”

Our own impression is that the Conserva-
tive Party will do very well against the
HNP, but may not beat the NP. The votes
cast for the CP, combined with those for

“the HNP, will be a good indication of
the strength of the swing to the Right
in Afrikaner politics.

The fight, not just in this by-election, is
between those who favour power shar-
ing, however limited, and those who want
a return to the apartheid of the 1970s.

Between Afrikaners who are prepared to
have Whites, Coloureds and Indians in
one Parliament, with three different
chambers, with a mixed Cabinet and an
all-powerful President, and those who
don’t want anything to do with what they
consider to be the beginning of the end of
White sovereignty.

The choice is an important one, since who

‘wins the fight p)timate)y .will determine.

DETERIORATING CASH POSITION MEANS NO DIVIDEND

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 6 Aug 82 p 3

[Text]

THE problems. facing Border
Timbers Limited, which were out-
lined in The Gazette last month,
have resulted in a deteriorating
cash position which is reflected in
the company’s annual report for
1982.

In his review the chairman, Mr
GA Carey-Smith recalled that last
year timber demand was bouyant
but towards the end of 1981 there
was a ‘sudden and dramatic fall’’
in demand for virtually all the
company’s products due to various
factors which he listed.

DISAPPOINTING

It was therefore disappointing
that the profit for the year ended
March 31, 1982, was $1 361 000
compared with $2 652 000 in the
previous year while the cash posi-
tion had deteriorated markedly,
and ‘the board had decided, with
great regret, not to pay a

The company investigated all
possible export opportunities fol-
lowing the changed situation but
high transport costs, the strong
Zimbabwe dollar and generally
poor economic conditions ‘else-
where made it imposible to gene-
rate significant business."

Then the. Government had an-

nounced that employees could not
be ‘made redundant except in
special circumstances, said the
chairman , .
. The’ company had already
closed the, Welgelegen sawmill and
reverted to single shift at Charter
but had found temporary work for
the employees concerned.

The result of the sales slump had
‘already led to an increase in the ti-
mber stocks, tying up $1 700 000

of available cash, and to a situa-
tion where surplus productive
capacity and labour were a serious
drain on financial resources.

The matter was discussed fully
with Government and it was
agreed in May this year that the
company could implement neces-
sary cutbacks.

“By that time our cash position
had deteriorated further and it has
been necessary to increase our
bank borrowings from $1 900 000
to $2 500 000," said Mr Carey-
Smith.

“A - further amount...” of
$1 750 000 has been borrowed as a
medium-term loan since the end of
the financial year."

He said that activities in the
forests had ensured that the
growing timber was in better con-
dition than for some years but the
drought had caused a high mortali-
ty rate among some new seedlings.

58% RISE

‘The wages bill on the estates and
sawmills had risen by 58% over the
previous year, partly die to an
increase in workers but principally
to minimum «wage _ increases
applied through all grades, while

maintenance and other costs: rose _

significantly.

Overall the cost of producing
Fough sawn timber and delivering
it to Mutare had increased by 23%
during the year. .

Mr_Carey-' i
wore arnt aig Mie tual
end and labour relations were
generally good. Following regula-
tions which restricted the discharge
of employees except with Minister-
ial consent, however,’ certain
production lines had experienced a

121

drop in production as a direct
result of this legislation. It was to
be hoped that the Government
would take appropriate action to
remedy this situation before the
country’s economy’ was adversely
affected by deliberate
unproductive practices.

Training schemes continued to
be increased with the direct cost
amounting to $200 000. With the
improved profitability during’ the
previous year the company had
started building fnore and better
houses for employees, said the
chairman's report. Disappointing-
ly however, the ~ housing
programme which had so far cost
$600 000 had to be stopped due to
the deteriorating finances of the
company.

NEW KILNS.

Other capital expenditure during
the year included a start on erect-
ing three new kilns at Charter saw-
mill at an estimated” cost - of
$700 000, of which only $64 000
‘was spent in the year under review.
An amount of $1 300 000 was also
spent on afforestation costs, but
the depressed demand for timber
and the following reduction in re-
venue has forced operations to be
streamlined. *

The company much regretted
that this had made certain em-
ployees redundant.

Mr Carey-Smith said that the
prime objectives in the current year
would be to maximise sales and
keep costs to a minimum in order
to conserve financial resources.

pay dearly for this ‘‘mistake’’. As Gover-

BRIEFS

SUBSTATION EXPLOSION--Sabotage was ruled out yesterday as the cause of an explo-
sion in a power substation on Sunday which cut off electricity supplies to 43
areas in Pretoria. The explosion took place on Sunday morning at the Koedoespoort
station in East Lynne, east of Pretoria, and caused damage estimated at several
hundreds of thousands of rands. Prompt action by the Pretoria fire brigade limited
the damage and prevented the fire from spreading to massive banks of expensive oil
coolers. In the initial explosion three coolers were blown up. A spokesman said
yesterday it was believed that overheating had caused the initial explosion which
caused a degree of concern among residents in the area--rushing outside their
homes to see a big pall of smoke reaching skywards. The area was immediately cor-
doned off by the police and the films of newspaper cameramen were confiscated.

The explosion occurred at about 9,22 am and the fire brigade had the fire under
control within 30 minutes. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 17 Aug 82

BPP BLAMES GOVERNMENT FOR ECONOMIC RECESSION

Gaborone DAILY NEWS in English 20 Jul 82 p 2

[Article by Mmoniemang Madikwe]

[Text]

THE PRESIDENT of the
Botswana People's Party, Mr
Kenneth Nkhwa has said that
the Government's lack of
foresight was responsible for the
current economic recession. The
speech marked the official
opening of the 22nd annual
conference of the BPP in
Mahalapye on July 11.

Ina speech read on his behalt
by the party’ Political Advisor Dr
Marlpe, because Mr Nkhwa was
not well had recently been
discharged from the Jubilee
Hospital in Francistown, Mr
Nkhwa said the government has
concentrated on mineral ex-
ploitation with very little effort to
encourage large scale agri-
cultural production and
modernisation of the rural sector.

The BPP President said it was
essential that much attention be
given to the production of food
for the nation and not depend on
other countries for essential
commodities adding that a nation
could not be free unless it fed its
people.

“This explains why we have
been urging the government over
the years to engage in large
scale irrigation schemes and in
running big production farms
from which a national granary
can be built for bad periods and
also for export,” Mr Nkhwa said

He also said that his party had
always advised government to
encourage individual farmers to
produce for sale and make rural
agriculture and ongoing industry.
"But the reply has been the

supply of donkeys," he added.

Mr Nkhwa said a BPP gover-
nment would ensure that rural
areas, where the majority of the
people live are developed to
ensure a balanced economic
growth of the country.

He said development must
mean an entire upward move-
ment of the entire social structure
and the determination that the
economy is not on “stilts”.

Mr Nkhwa was also in favour
of the decentralisation of
government. He said autonomy
should be given to district
councils to work on development
projects with people on the spot.

Talking about Batswana
working in the South African
mines, Mr Nkhwa said apart from
robbing the country ofits primary
resource (Labour), this has also
adversely affected the
development potential of the rural
areas from which the workers
are recruited.

Mr Nkhwa also added that his
party would like to see Batswana

living abroad, whom ne said were
estimated at 55 000 in 1977
brought back to replace ex-
patriates adding that no country
can ever develop properly when
its economy was being directed
by foreigners.

The BPP leader also slammed
the National Development Bank
(NDB) saying that it delayed
economic projects.

He alleged the Bank continued
to make it impossible for aspiring
Batswana businessmen to obtain
loans.

BOTSWANA

He claimed that the bank is
only interested in giving loans to
those well off.

“To those who have little, give
none, seems to be the policy of
the bank”, he said.

On education, the BPP
President said the BDP
government did not believe that
in order to be expansive they
must be adequetly educated and
paid in order to fit the needs of
the economy.

Dubbing automatic promotion
as “the peet and pass system”
Mr Nkhwa said it was responsible
for the large number of drop-

outs of the critical stage and
accoutes for hundreds of
unemployed youths in the
country.

He said the current educational
system produced cheap hands
at Standard Seven Level and
those students lucky enough to
go further look forward for the
civil service adding that a country
whose elite was in the civil service
was hardly to industrialise.

On national unity the BPP
leader claimed that unity did not
exist in Botswana.

“The unity that we have in this
country is nearly apparent
because other parties seem to
be preaching violence while other
ethnic groups are denied their
inherent rights.”

He said that all ethnic groups
in the country should enjoy their
cultural heritage equally. He said
there should be no domination
of one language over the others.

UAE TO GIVE $1 MILLION TO ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY
AB251133 Paris AFP in English 1123 GMT 25 Aug 82

[Text] Niamey, 25 Aug (AFP)--The United Arab Emirates will contribute one
million dollars to a solidarity fund earmarked for the Islamic University of
Say, under construction 60 kms (35 miles) from here on the banks of the river
Niger.

Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Sa'id Ahmed Kahlifa al-Suweidi made the
announcement during yesterday's plenary session of the Islamic Conference
Organisation meeting here.

Say University, when complete, will be the largest Islamic university in West
Africa.

Sheikh Khalifa al-Suweidi also said his country would give one million copies
of the Koran to Niger, hosting the 13th Ministerial Conference which runs
until Friday.

Abdelhai Boutaleb, director-general of a recently-formed Islamic cultural body
called on delegates to increase Islamic solidarity by ratifying the new initia-
tive.

Mr Boutaleb noted that ISESCO, the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organisation based on the United Nations body UNESCO, had been set up in Fez,
Morocco, in May to "establish Islamic cooperation and solidarity by developing
associations between cultures."

He said the organisation also aimed to "outline a common cultural policy for
Islamic nations."

ISESCO is to carry out a census of cultural and scientific institutions in the
Moslem world, including universities, scientific centres and libraries, in
order to coordinate their activities and define their needs.

ISESCO already publishes a review ISLAM TODAY in English, French, and Arabic,
and is to organise a conference of "top level Islamic thinkers" next January.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF SECURITY ASSOCIATION OPENS

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 19 Aug 82 p 5

[Text] THE Minister of Law

cso:

and Order, Mr Louis le

: Grange, said yester-
day he deeply re-
_gretted the deaths
that have occurred in
detention and that
every precaution was
being taken to pre-
vent them.

Opening the annual
national conference
of the Security Asso-
ciation of South Afri-
ca in Parktown, he
‘said SASA was a great
help to the South
African Police.

The main functions of
the police, he said,
were to preserve the
internal security of
the country and to
maintain law and or-
der by investigating
and preventing crime.

He added that although
the crime situation,
particularly in metro-
politan areas, was not
“a pretty picture”, it
was not as bad as the
public believed.

Statistics showed there

~ hhad been an overall
increase in crime in
South Africa of only
0,18 percent during
1980/81, while in Lon-
don the increase had
been 34 percent.

4700/1784

On terrorism, he said
that from July 1981 to
June 1982, 58 acts of
sabotage had been
committed in South
Africa.

‘Fifteen terrorists had
been captured and
nine killed, while 16
arms caches had been
discovered, as well as
a number of arms, am-
munition and explo-

sives.

The deaths that have
occurred in detention
were deeply regretted,
he said, and every pre-

tion was _ being

taken to prevent
them.

Several celis in John
Vorster Square had
been modified at a
cost of R43 000 in an
effort to prevent sui-
cides.

Mr Le Grange said he
was not insensitive to
the deaths.

Deaths in police custo-
dy, he added, were not
a phenomenon pecu-
liar to South Africa.

During the first six
months of 1982, 26
people died in deten-
tion. Eleven of these
were suicides. Statis-
tics showed that in
the United States 148
people committed sui-
cide in 1978 during
police detention.

The conference, which
continues today, con-
sists of six seminars
dealing with various
aspects of security as
well as an exhibition,
which opened yester-
day at Milner Park, of
security measures and
security systems.

not shown much sensitivity to
matters that touch us deeply.

‘We believe there are questions
that need to be asked, and urgently,
about the new regulations placed on
such funerals.

The first is we have never had
cause to believe that these so-called
political funerals in themselves lead
to social instability, or that attempts
are made there to deliberately
disturb the peace.

Admittedly there is a lot of
emotional stuff flying around but
one need only look at how other

j races conduct funerals that affect
| them so deeply, to see how unfair
; the Actis.

We know of no “political” funeral
where deliberate attempts were
made to break the law in the recent
past. There were attempts in the
past when over emotional students
tried to hi-jack vehicles and stone-
; throwing has been seen at such
“funerals. But one has to realise that
such emotional and sometimes
reckless acts are caused by certain
facts, amongst which we have to
report the presence of the police.

One wonders also where the line
.would have to be drawn if this
precedent becomes the norm. It
means that people who have died
under circumstances that involved
,acts of conscience will now have

their funerals prescribed by

magisterial action.

Disaffected Blacks

;, We wonder what is gong to
happen in the event that a Catholic
has to be buried from Regina
Mundi, which is a catholic church
and what action will be taken to
keep hundreds of people away from
a funeral that involves a well-known
leader of the people?

Apart from the political
implications affecting us, we blacks
treat funerals as very important
occasions, sometimes giving them
what could be seen to be too much
over-dressing. We have most of our
friends and relatives who travel long
distances to pay their last respects to
those who have died. You only need
to drive through any township over
weekends to see the scale on which
funerals are run.

Just as an aside we believe funeral
undertakers will soon be affected
adversely by regulations placed by
the Act.

We still insist that the closure of
all avenues for people to vent their
feelings is counter-productive. It
seems to us that if people are given a
chance to let off steam now and
again, this acts as a healthy conduit
and in a manner of speaking keeps
them out of trouble. By bottling up
the emotions one seems to see them
often exploding into something
fearful at times.

Once again, it does seem to us that
even those people who use these
funerals as political platforms do not
create that much trouble.

Finally, we believe this is another
assault on the civil liberties of
people. People should be allowed the
freedom to arrange their funerals in
whatever manner they so wish,
unless this becomes an act of
lawlessness. If such acts are
committed there are always scores
of policemen who are in any way
placed handily near such funerals.

ENGINEER SHORTAGE--About 45% of experienced engineers in the Ministry of Roads

and Road Traffic have resigned during the past 18 months, the Deputy Secretary for
the Ministry, Mr Mariyawanda Nzuwah, disclosed. Those who resigned have either
joined the private sector or left the country. The Deputy Secretary said the
shortage of civil engineers was hampering the Ministry's three-year development
programme. The programme, already approved by the Government, included the improve-
ment and construction of about 6 000 kilometres of road in the communal areas. "To
do that we need civil engineers. Many young Zimbabweans are studying to become
civil engineers and as a result, the Public Service Commission has approved the
recruitment of engineers from outside Zimbabwe," Mr Nzuwah said. The ministry

had written letters to Zimbabweans studying inside and outside the country urging
them to take up civil engineering. "There is always a vacancy in the ministry for
a Zimbabwean civil engineer or a civil engineering technician," Mr Nzumah said.

REGIONAL AUTHORITIES SMOOTH DISTRIBUTION OF STRANDED TRACTORS

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 9 Aug 82 p 3

[Article by Mike Sikawa]

[Excerpt] AUTHORITIES in various
regions yesterday reported
that a number of steps had
been taken to ensure smooth
distribution of the 34
Valmet-make tractors now
stranded in Dar es Salaam
awaiting collection.

The regional leaders,
however,' pointed out that
there could have been some
complications, including non-
navailability of funds by the
villages, lack of fuel and
some other important com-
ponents.

A survey conducted by the
Daily News revealed that the
tractors, part of a 60-tractors
éonsignment from Finland,

rived in the country in April
this years, but only a few had

been distributed to the
“regions for no clear reasons.

Two top officials of the
Tanzania Tractor Manufac-
turers (TRAMA) Ndugu Paul
Antila and Ndugu Raimo
Mononen. Technical and
Sales managers respectively
said that out of the 26 trac-
tors that had been paid for,
only 16 had so far been collec-
ted.

The officials éexpressed
concern over the delay in the
collection of the tractors,
stating that the capital in-
vested in producing the
machines could have already
been recovered had they been
put into production.

cso: 4700/1761

The tractor allocations for
‘the regions in 1981/82 is as

follows: Arusha, Tanga,
Iringa, Morogoro, and
Mwanza regions — 22 trac-

tors each; Rukwa — 10 trac-
tors; Mbeya and Dar es
Salaam — 5 tractors each.

Statistics released by
TRAMA revealed, however,
that the collection up by last
week was as follows: Arusha
and Kilimanjaro regions — 5,
Morogoro — 3, Mwanza —
nil, Iringa — 3, Dar es
Salaam — 5, Mbeya — 2, and
Tanga — one tractor.

Rukwa has paid for seven
tractors but the region has yet
to collect them.

Another consignment of 70
tractors from Finland is due
to arrive in Dar es Salaam
very soon, and TRAMA fear
that they would face storage
problems if the existing lot is
not collected before the
arrival of the new con-
signment.

When contacted, the
Morogoro Regional Party
Secretary, Ndugu Anna Ab-
dallah, said they learnt of the
tractors only recently but
villages and other customers
had all enough cash for the
purchase of the machines.

Ndugu Abdallah said in a
telephone interview that
arrangements were now being
made between her office and
district authorities on the
collection of the tractors.

104

The Tanga Regional Party
Secretary, Major-General
Tumaini Kiwelu, said
allocations had already been
made to villages and that the
names have been forwarded
to the districts for liasing with
the allocated villages and
other customers. ———

‘A spokesman for the Tringa
Regional Commissioner's of-
fice said the allocations of the.
tractors had been made to
villages, individual farmers
and government projects. The
three tractors allocated for
government projects had
already arrived._ oe

e spokesman reported
that the RDD’s office had in-
structed district officials to
report immediately villages
which were unable to buy
the tractors, so that alter-
native buyers could be found.

The Arusha Regional
Development Director, Ndugu
Emmanuel Mwambulukutu,
said the allocations in the
region were made about a
a month ago and now
arrangements were being
made by the villages for the
collection of the tractors.



DAMARA, COLORED LEADERS REFUSE TO JOIN 'DTA' CONFERENCE

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 11 Aug 82 p 3

[Text]

cso:

THE CHAIRMEN of
both the Damara and
Coloured Executive
Committees were
notable absentees at to-
day’s Socio-economic
conference in Windhoek.

In a statement issued
yesterday by Damara Ex-
ecutive Chairman, Mr
Justus Garoéb, Mr Garoéb
says he appreciates that he
was invited but he rejects
the political connotations
attached to the conference.

Another member of the
Executive Committee plus

4700/1768

a top Damara Government
public official were invited
along with Mr Garoéb, but
the rejection of the invita-
tion has been a blanket
one.

Mr Garoéb says “we ap-
preciate the spirit in which
we have been given
recognition, but we are
reluctant to be used for the
political ends of others.

“If the conference was
free of any politics and if it
was opened by a neutral
person such as the Ad-
ministrator General, then
we would fully have been
prepared to cooperate, but

25

under the circumstances
we reject the conference
with the contempt it
deserves.”

The Chairman of the
Coloured Executive, Mr
Barney Barnes, told The
Advertiser yesterday after-
noon that he felt much the
same as Mr Garoéb did
and that he was reluctant
to be part of the Ministers’
Council’s window dressing.

He felt that the con-
ference was totally
politically directed and was
intended to serve only the
interests of the DTA, and
not the country at large.

AIR HIJACKERS SEEK PAROLE--Thirty four of the mercenaries convicted on charges
relating to the hijacking of an Air India Boeing have lodged parole applica-
tions and could be free in a matter of weeks. All were sentenced to five
years in prison for jeopardising the safety of an aircraft at the Mahe Air-
port in the Seychelles. But the Maritzburg Court suspended 4 1/2 years of
their sentences. However, senior police sources in Pretoria said it was not
unusual for prisoners serving six-month sentences to be released within a
matter of weeks--or sometimes even days--of being admitted to prison.

PRESIDENT'S DICTATORIAL POWERS--The South African Parliament has defeated the ori-
ginal aim of parliamentary sovereignity by promoting sectional interests only and
by conferring arbitrary powers on the executive arm of government. This was said
last night by Professor Johan van der Vyver, Professor of Law at the University
of the Witwatersrand. Delivering his inaugural lecture at the university, he
said the present resolve to move away from the Westminister system of government
raised the question of alternative strategies for the protection of fundamental
rights and freedoms. "Parliamentary sovereignity was originally devised to give
Parliament, as the representative of the people, supreme power to protect the
rights and freedoms of people. "The idea of a South African Bill of Rights to
serve this purpose obviously commends itself. "The constitutional limitations of
the powers of government have become particularly urgent in view of the proposed
constitutional dispensation which would entrust the State President with dicta-
torial powers," Prof Van der Vyver said. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in Eng-
lish 19 Aug 82 p 4]

PRESIDENT'S 'NARROW BASE'--East London.--An executive president could only function
effectively if he had popular support, the leader of the Opposition, Dr Frederick
van Zyl Slabbert, said in East London last night. Addressing a meeting of the
border region of his party in East London, Dr Slabbert asked why the president,

as envisaged in the Government's new constitutional proposals, needed such extra~
ordinary powers with so little popular support. "If one looks at the way in which
the president will be elected in the Government's proposals, it is quite clear

that he has the smallest or the narrowest bases. "He can never know whether he

has the support of the other population groups involved, and he can never know
whether the changes he intends bringing about will be accepted and supported by
those who are going to be affected by them. "It places such a president in an al-
most impossible situation and, in fact, heightens the possibility of such an execu-
tive president going for totalitarian rather than popular support." [Steve Moller]

CP RUSH IN GERMISTON--There was a sudden rush of support for the Conservative Party
at the Germiston provincial by-election at 7.30 last night. This complicated the
calculation of the possible winner since it was turning out to be a closely-fought
context. Earlier, at 7 pm, the percentage poll was only 41 percent, including
postal and special votes. It appeared at that time the National Party had 43 per-
cent of votes, the Conservative Party 32, and the HNP 25. Thus the National Party
was maintaining a marginal lead in the crucial by-election. Nationalists were con-

GHANA

PAPER WRITES ON LOYALTY OF FORMER PNDC MEMBERS
AB220926 Accra Domestic Service in English 0700 GMT 22 Aug 82
[Press Review]

[Text] Writing under the heading "Revolution Thrives On Changes," the WEEKLY
SPECTATOR says with the replacement of some PNDC [Provisional National Defense
Council] secretaries followed shortly by the resignation of two members of the
council Ghanaians must actually be wondering what turn the revolution will be
taking now. And by turn the paper does not mean either to the left or the
right. Its concern is whether the changes are likely to strengthen the hands
of the PNDC in its efforts to bring about early and positive results. For the
spectator is of the opinion that some of the replaced secretaries have been
quite dynamic and enthusiastic about the revolution. Their insistence on
order, discipline and (?neatness) that prevail in the Ghanaian society today
cannot be refuted. The paper, however, concedes that changes there must be
and changes will continue to be in the ongoing revolutionary process if success
is to be attained. It says in the past few months there have been expressions
of dissatisfaction among Ghanaians with the performances of some of the leaders
of the revolution and the paper cannot fail to voice out its displeasure either
on obvious discrepancies in the utterances of some of the leaders of the
revolution. According to it, the revolution needs a firm political base
bringing together people who share the same ideas about the plight of the
people and how solutions can be found to them. Those people must act in
unison to lead Ghanaians to a well-defined goal.

The spectator says as much as it cannot hold brief for those who are now out
of government it can at least say their loyalty to the revolution was not ques-
tioned, not to its notice anyway. It expresses the hope that they will con-
tinue to play a worthy role in the revolution wherever they may find them-
selves, for after all that is what it means to be a revolutionary.

He said it was “para-
mount that journalists
potray political develop-
ment as politicians see it.””

“Where there is a dif-
ference of opinion it would
be right and proper for
journalists to check their
facts with politicians and
their officials.’”

Journalists Speak

SWAZI journalists face a
continuous dilemma as they
go about their daily duties.
While desiring to carry
balanced and constructive
reports about developments
in the country, government
officials hold back informa-
tion and the media are fore-
ed to run stories with facts
from unofficial sources.
This is what journalists
told the head of the Civil
Service, Mr. Shadrack Siba-
nyoni during discussions
organised by the Swaziland
National Association of
Journalists last week.
Journalists told Mr. Siba-
nyon} that most govern-
ment department heads
become irritated when
reporters approach them
with facts collected about

their departments and ask,
for comments.

cso: 4700/1765

He concluded:
“Swaziland journalists
should view what I ‘have
said with a proper, balanc-
ed and critical mind as the
country needs all of us as
far as its development is
concerned.”

Up

Sometimes reporters are!
thrown out or the depart-
ment heads find themselves
too important to tik to
them.

‘When the officials see the
headlines the following day
they become angry and
whatever reactions they
make are emotional. When
the emotional outbursts are
published, they deny they
made the comments making
the problem a continuous
one.

The journalists said that
local officials were more
willing to grant interviews
to foreign correspondents
than to talk to journalists at
home. At the same time the
government expected the
focal media to portray a
favourable image of the
country.

What happens next is
that reports about impor-

tant issues in the country
appear in foreign media and
all the local media can do is
publish defensive state-
ments from officials.

‘What the local journalists
are asking for is that our of-
ficials give us the facts first
and the foreign media later;
otherwise they will con-
tinuously be issuing defen-
sive statements against what
has already been published.

Mr. Sibanyoni said this
was an unfortunate situa-
tion because government
policy was that every
department head should
speak to the press.

ESSENTIAL THAT PEOPLE SAVE FOR OWN HOMES, SAYS KOORNHOF

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 19 Aug 82 p 4

[Text] tr was essential that

cso:

people of all walks of
‘life learnt to save more
for their own homes,
the Minister of Co-oper-
ation and Development,
Dr Piet Koornhof, said
yesterday.

Dr Koornhof was ad-
dressing a number of
foreign and South Afri-
can delegates at the
opening of the 8th In-
ternational South Afri-
can Building and Con-
struction Exhibition
(Interbou) at Milner
Park.

The idea had devel-
oped among certain
groups that they were
entitled, practically by
birthright, to a house
from the Government,
the Minister said.

But “a person’s own
home is probably the
most valuable asset he
will ever be able to ac-
quire and unless he
positively makes provi-

4700/1784

sion, through saving,
for that ultimate goal,
it may never material-
ise.”

With the housing
ptoblem at its present
critical stage Dr Koorn-
hof.said the state was
in the process of assist-
ing the individual by
making more stands
available in Black
townships by the pro-
vision of infrastructure
and services.

By these means a per-
son could, with his own
financial resources and
assistance from finan-
cial institutions, build.
his own house.

The private sector,
due to the increase in
population and urbani-
zation, would also have
greater responsibility
for providing housing,
particularly for Blacks,
he added.

Dr Koornhof pointed
ut that in he past the

70

private sector had pro-
vided 87% of all White
housing in South Africa
and this provided a
strong case for the in-
volvement in the provis-
ion of Black housing.

Focussing on the
building and construc-
tion industry, which is
between the 6th and 8th
largest industry in the
country, Dr Kootnhof
said there were two
main problems.

The first was the tra-
ditionally fluctuating
nature of the industry
and to combat this a
“mechanism” whereby
these fluctuations
could be reduced or
even eliminated was
needed.

“Such a course of ac-
tion would require close
collaboration between
the industry and the
Government at all le-
vels,” Dr Koornhof
said, “and I believe such

SOUTH AFRICA

a dialogue should be en-
couraged.”

The second problem
for the industry lay in
unity, according to Dr
Koornhof.

“The building indus-
try is essentially a frag-
mented industry,” he
said,” and while there is
no doubt that the de-
gree and effectiveness
of communication be-
tween the various sec-
tors had improved con-
siderably over the last
20 years, considerable
benefit could be gained
from closer contact and
collaboration.”



ISLANDS’ ROLE IN RELATIONS WITH SA ASSESSED

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 13 Aug 82 pp 6-7

{Article by David Pieters:

[Text]

"Namibia's Future

A DOZEN tiny islands strung along
Namibia’s southern coast and which are
claimed by SA as its sovereign territory,
are expected to play a prominent role in

future relations
countries.

For, just as SA’s Walvis
Bay enclave has its own
territorial and fishing
waters along the sea front,
so each “of these islands
have their own territorial
and fishing zones.

Mr Dormel  Vosloo,
Director of Walvis Bay
said in a recent interview
that eacti island had its of-
fshore rights, and the
whole question “could
become interesting in the
future.”

A spokesman for the
Fisheries Division of SA’s
Department of Agriculture
and Fisheties, commented
from Pretoria: “There can
be no doubt that the
islands belong to SA, and
that each has its own

claims to territorial and

fishing rights.”

And SWA’s Secretary
for Economic Affairs Piet
‘Kruger clarified the pre-
sent position.

‘Since éach island falls in-
side SWA’s 13 sea-mile

between the two

territorial zone, _ inter-
nationally agreed formulae
have to be applied to
resolve conflicting claims
and rights.

The SA Admiralty is in
possession of ocean charts
tracing out the precise out-
lines of each island’s zones.

There are two zones — a
territorial off-shore zone
and a fishing zone which’
theoretically stretches the
full 200 sea miles — as in
the case of the rest df the!
Namibia coast.

The International
Conference of South East
Atlantic Fisheries is also in
position of charts fixing the
exact boundaries of the in-
terweaving water zones,
calculatéd ‘along _inter-
national principles of
maritime law.

In effect, SA has a
sovereign claim to 20 per-
cent of Namibia’s waters
within 200 miles off the
coast, south of Swakop-
mund (where Walvis Bay’s
northern boundary lies),
but only a seven percent of

31

Falklands?"]

the Territory’s waters from
the Cunene to the Orange
rivers, taken as a whole.

DISCREET

On the charts, each
island has its specific
zones, but for practical
Teasons these discreet
zones are not being en-
forced by SA. Instead they
are regarded as part of
Namibia’s territorial and
fishing waters for the pre-
sent, Mr Kruger said.

His view was confirmed
by SA’s Department of
Agriculture and Fisheries
as well as Mr Vosloo.

But after Namibia’s in-
dependence, the situation
will have to be negotiated,
they all agree.

Mr Kruger explained the
application of ‘e
quidistance’ which was
used to fix each island’s

"The oil industry has generated vast revenues but this has been so managed as to
generate rapid inflation and the aspects of the industry that could actually trans-
form the economy have been neglected," he said.

According to him, between 1970 and 1978, the industry's total capital expenditure
amounted to about 2.5 billion Naira of which 1.7 billion Naira was spent on impor-
ted goods and services.

"Thus, we earned our oil revenue only to use it to keep foreign farmers in employ-
ment and foreign industries going," he remarked.

He, however said that to guarantee the future of the nation's oil industry, a criti-
cal review of the present arrangement of joint venture operations was in the offing.

Mr. Amu added that this was necessary to get Nigerians involved in key decision-
making in the operating oil companies.

‘Mr John Carter Chairmai; Deita.Corporation

‘| THINK the success of” the
Budget depends on how well the
Government can control its own |
expenditure,” Mr. Carter said,
“and indeed the Minister of
Finance himself had some very
direct words to say about this.
“Overall, I was agreeably sur-
prised when the Budget news was
announced, bearing in’ mind the
serious economic position we are”

Mr Carter said that the present
situation was likely to persist, as it
was felt overseas that the move-
ment out of the worldwide
recession would not begin until the
middle or end of 1983. It could be_
up to two years, before Zimbabwe
felt the beginning of any interna-:
tional recovery, Mr Carter said.

Turning specifically~ to the

increases in excise duty, Mr Carter
said, ‘It. will certainly. curtail
volume growth in the lager beer
industry, However, we were glad
that the increase was confined to
lager, and not extended to tradi-
tional beers or soft drinks which
have not yet recovered from the
heavy excise increases last year. If
there had been increases in these
areas, it would have been very
serious for us, I am afraid.””

Mr Carter said his company had
anticipated the excise’ increases,
but was disppointed that at the
same time they had not received an
increase in the manufacturers’
price. ‘We have been negotiating
for an increase for some time and
it would have beem much easier
for the consumer and the industry

“to: have had an increase which
combined the 3 cents excise duty
and an element for the manufac-
turer.”
~ Mr Carter said that over the last
two years the excise duty on a
375ml bottle of beer had increased
13 cents while the manufacturers’
price had risen by only 0,75 cents.
“In real terms, the manufacturers’
price is 25% less than it was five
years ago," he said. .

“We were vety pleased that

‘Government has decided to retain
the © 100% "initial allowance’,
commented Mr Carter. This would
be a significant boost.to new in-
vestment, he said, and would cer-
tainly help his group. However, he

isaid that there would be con-
;Straints on this investment until a
price increase had been negotiated
with Government. ‘We can
‘commit capital expenditure only

on essential work at present,” he

said. ‘

On the general taxation pro-
posals, Mr Carter said that the
Minister's treatment was under-
standable and ‘“‘was the best way to
handle the problem. Businessmen
did not underestimate the difficul-
ty of this particular situation”, he
sald. :

The rise in the rate of sales tax
‘will undoubtedly affect the group’s
investment in the furniture indus-
try through its subsidiary, Spring-
‘master. There was a fall off in de-
mand about a year ago which
shows no signs of recovery. ‘This
is of great concern to us and un-
doubtedly the higher sales tax on
consumer durables will affect de-
mand.”

Increases ‘in petrol and diesel
would affect the operating costs of
the group's transport fleets,
cularly in-the beer and soft drink
sectors, Mr Carter said, ‘‘we have
rationalised our beer distribution
with the creation of rural depots,
but the. present serious bottle
shortage has forced us to increase

the frequency of some journeys in

order to bring empty bottles back
into circulation as soon as possi-
bie.”

Mr Abner Botsh
President of ACCOZ

ASPECTS ‘of the budget, par-
ticularly some effects of the
removal of consumer subsidies, are
still being studied by the Asso-
ciated Chambers of Commerce of
Zimbabwe.

WAITING TO SEE

While congratulating the Minis-
ter of Finance and Economic
Development’ and Planning, Dr
Bernard Chidzero, for determina-
tion to finance recurrent expendi-
ture from revenue and “his
obvious awareness of the extreme
severity of the economic circums-
tances in which Zimbabwe and the
international community” find

112

themselves, a_ statement from”
ACCOZ this” week expressed
concern at the sharp increase in
recurrent expenditure.

The statement commenting ‘on
the budget was ‘issued by the
ACCOZ ° president, Mr Abner
Botsh. He said the organisation
felt that unless drastic measures
were taken to keep skilled man-
power and other expertise, the
capital budget “may well be too
ambitious.”

“I am not convinced at this
stage that customs duty will lead to
a more effective allocation of
scarce foreign resources and fear
the inflationary aspects of this,”
he said. :

“I was waiting to: see what-in-
centives would be offered to the
business community to, boost
exports in light of our foreign
exchange constraints and am dis-'
appointed that this was ~not,
‘enlarged upon. I am also disap-
pointed at the lack of specific
incentives to attract foreign invest-
ment and to boost foreign currency
earnings.”

Mr. Botsh said that while the
reintroduction of the special intial
allowance was welcomed, he
would have wished to see a more
long term view for the allowance to
have “meaningful impact” on new
investment.

He said it was realised that cer-
tain matters were being referred to
a Commission of Inquiry into
Taxes, which was to be appointed.
He urged that the appointment be
made soon. .

Mr Botsh added that in making
these comments, ACCOZ was
fully appreciative of the Minister's
formidable task. .

Mr Roy Lander
President of the
Chamber of Mines

THE Government's ‘gesture’
of setting aside $50 million to
help industry, particularly the
stricken, mining sector, Is un-
likely to be of much help.
Chamber of Mines president
Roy Lander explained that the
assistance would be through
loans or guarantees for loans,
whereas thé mining industry
desperately needs subsidising.



The answer is to inflict havoc and devastation on Abyssinia, just as the
Somali Democratic Republic constantly does in self-defense.

Therefore, we advise the Kenyan public to protect their sovereignty and be
prepared to confront naked provocations by the forces of Addis Ababa, Moscow
and Havana.

BRIEFS

JAMA'ATU VERSUS IZALA--Kaduna state governor Abba Musa Rimi called upon the
Jama'atu Nasril Islam organization to search for ways to resolve the disagree-
ments and the absence of a shared viewpoint that continue to prevail between the
Darika and the Izala factions. Alhaji Abba Musa Rimi issued this appeal in a
congratulatory message that he sent to last week's meeting of the Jama'atu
organization here in Kaduna. Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki of Sokkoto, who is secretary
of the Jama'atu organization, read the message of congratulations on behalf of
governor Abba Musa Rimi. In his opening speech the mallam of Borno who chaired
the meeting, Alhaji Mustapha Umar El-Kanemi, denied rumors that the Jama'atu
Nasril Islam organization endorses the Izala organization. He said that the
Jama'atu organization is for all Muslims. Therefore it is above any religious
bickering and intrigue. The mallam of Borno added that the reason for holding
an Islamic religion summit meeting was precisely the division among Muslims.

All Muslims should aspire for unity. After all, he asked, isn't God one and
aren't we his seryants? That being so, it should be realized that troublemakers
are not true members of the social fabric. [Excerpts] [Kaduna GASKIYA TA FI

ENERGY CRISIS--Nearly 200 of the world's top fuel scientists are among more than

Pretoria yesterday. A spokesman for the SA Institution of Chemical Engineers

said yesterday the worldwide energy crisis had focused international attention on
coal as a resource for the production of synthetic fuels as well as other important
products. The conference would be a "think tank" held under the auspices of the
institution and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. Delegates at-
tending the opening ceremony yesterday came from as far afield as Holland, France,
Germany, Great Britain, America Canada and Japan. The spokesman said more than

20 papers would be presented by some of the world's leading figures in the field of
coal conversion. The main areas of discussion would include direct as opposed to
indirect coal conversion; coal hydrogenation and coal liquid, the methanol, ace-
tylene and ammonia routes; gasification; and catalytic syngas conversion. Dele-
gates would also make technical visits to Sasol Two and Three, the AECI ammonia-

WORKERS FIRED--Durban.--By the end of next month nearly 600 workers will have been
retrenched by two New Germany, Natal, companies as the economic downturn continues.
CI Industries have laid off about 200 workers and Barlows Communications will re-
trench 382 employees by the end of September, it was confirmed yesterday. Mr Rob
Haywood, managing director of CI Industries, said 45 workers had been laid off
after the completion of a factory construction project, 45 from the commercial ve-
hicle section and more than 100 from another section after a cutback in government
spending and orders. This cutback had resulted in a six-month lull. Mr Haywood
said that it was "a bit crazy" that a section building park homes had been forced
to cut back production when there was a critical housing shortage. The cutback
comes at a time when the Durban City Council has agreed to allow mobile homes to
be erected in special parks. The managing director of Barlows Communications (Pty)
Ltd, Mr A J Ellingford, said that, in the light of the present economic situation,
"we have no alternative but to reduce cpaacity in our operations which regrettably

GONGOLA STATE SPEAKER GIVES REASONS FOR RESIGNING
Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 3 Aug 82 pp 1, 13
[Article by A. B. Tapidi]

[Text] Mr. Paul Wampana, Speaker of the Gongola State House of Assembly has quit
both his post and the Great Nigeria Peoples Party, (GNPP).

He has also resigned his membership of the state House of Assembly with effect
from the 12th of this month, when the House would resume from the mid-year recess.
He thus became the first speaker to voluntarily resign his position since the pres-
ent administration came to power in October 1979.

Mr. Wampana said he took the action because the government of the state was no
longer "the type that would satisfy the wishes and aspirations of the people".

Briefing newsmen in Yola yesterday, Mr. Wampana said the executive arm of the gov-
ernment had "lost the high hopes, the goodwill and the confidence" that characteri-
sed it when it came to power in 1979.

He further told newsmen that after a sober reflection, he had come to the conclu-
sion that the government lacked purposeful direction, leadership and the will to
take action on important matters.

Mr. Wampana said he had presided over the House for three years and had concluded
that the legislature was "hardly compatible with the executive in view of the fail-
ure of the government to implement simple legislation from the House".

The speaker said: "We will continue to fail to live up to expectations of the elec-
torate unless the leadership of the state reorganised itself".

He said there was widespread mistrust within the hierachy of the party and the
government.

Mr. Wampana said when the Great Nigeria Peoples Party (GNPP) came into power in
1979, it had the goodwill, confidence of the people, the civil service and the
traditional institutions, but "now, I do not know if the situation which was
transparent then, is still the same".

Although Mr. Wampana refused to say whether he would be joining another political
party, political observers in Yola yesterday speculated he had his eyes on the
governorship of the state on the platform of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN).

TAX PROPOSALS HAVE REVERTED TO PRE-INDEPENDENCE TRENDS

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 6 Aug 82 p 7

[Article by Alexander Katz]

[Text]

WHAT is most noticeable about
the taxation proposals this year
(‘the year of transformation”) is
how in important aspects they have
reverted to the position and trends
of pre-independence.

Sales Tax has been restored to
15%, and in the case of capital
goods advanced to 18%. The spe-
cial capital allowance to miners
and depletion allowance on min-
erals produced have been restored.
At least in the case of a surviving
spouse estate duty liability will
commence only at $60,000 as be-
fore. The 100% allowance on caj

tal expenditure has been fully res-

tored.

The last mentioned reflects the
extent of the commitment of the
present Government as the last one
to the encouraging of a capital in-
tensive economy, despite the
country’s enormous under-utiliza-
tion of labour, the shortage of
foreign exchange for the impor-
tation of the capital equipment and
fuel to operate same, and the
shortage of technicians. In effect
this binds the country to Western
technology and its multi-national
corporations, notwithstanding the
rhetoric against the latter. Rather
computers than clerks: rather
heavy road-building . equipment
than masses of workmen. .

One can also expect to see a re-
vival of the rush by hardpressed
executives and professionals,
whose rates of tax will now rise to

60% to buy cars and airplanes
qualifying for 100% allowance,
once again pushing up the prices of
these items in short supply.

The possible resulting combin-
ation of low or negligible tax for
companies claiming high capital
allowances, and high tax rates for
management, with legal limits on
salary increases, will result in other
anomalies.

Despite the~ 20% tax on
dividends, it will once again pay to
distribute these heavily from com-
panies free of tax liabilities. Since
the rate of company tax is still
limited to $1,75%, the 20% tax on
the distributable portion of the
Profit will not result in an overall
tax rate on that profit of more than
61,4%, only slightly more than the
maximum tax on personal remune-
ration. :

For individual taxpayers in the
highest tax bracket, who are not
fully utilising tax-free Post Office
savings accounts, it will no longer
pay to loan money even at the
highest legal rate of interest, 18%.
The nett yield after tax of 7,2% is
less than the yield from any type of
Post Office saving.

In the year of transformation
there is still no indication of any
change in the administration of the
tax department that will make it
more responsive to the needs of the
public. The banning of publication
of the Commissioner’s Annual Re-
Ports since 1974 still remains in
force. Still unchanged by Treasury

117

are the many backward procedures
inherited from the colonial period,
despite professional representa-
tions even during those times.

Tax forms are not available until
July, more than three months after
the tax year-end. Copy forms are
also ‘available for a fee only then
and in limited quantities. Notwith-
standing this three month delay the
Commissioner wants returns to be
submitted in 30 days. Nevertheless
they may take as long as a year to
assess, even when @ prompt assess-
ment is requested.

REFUND | “S

This assessment may result in a
refund, again delayed as long as a
year. No interest is paid for this
delay. Yet when the taxpayer is in
arrears, he is charged 124% p.a.
interest. Contrast the above with
the practices of one western capita-
list society, the USA.

1, By the tax year-end forms are
available free at all post offices.

2. The taxpayer has 15 weeks in
which to submit a return, longer if
he is overseas. . .

-3. He can phone any income tax
office for assistance in completing
the form from any part of the
country toll-free.

4. The taxpayer who is too small
to afford the services of a tax con-
sultant can call for assistance from
specially trained staff of the tax
dept, other than his own assessor.

5, Even large taxpayers can sub-
mit tax schemes for prior



“With the present state of the

timber was in better condition than
it was a few years ago. The prime

it better profitability‘and so more

a memorandum aimed at fur-
ther cooperation in various
activities related to housing,
building and planning.

The memorandum was
signed in Sweden late last
month by the Swedish
minister Mrs. Birgit Friggebo
-and her Tanzanian coun-
terpart, Ndugu Mustafa
Nyang’anyi.

Ndugu Nyang’anyi had led
a four-man deiegation to

the invitation of Mrs.
Friggebo.

In the memorandum, made
‘available to the Daily News

sides underlined the im-
portance of increasing scien-
tific cooperation on all levels
concerning housing, building
‘and planning.

During discussions, the
ministers stated their in-

SIGNIFICANCE OF GERMISTON BY-ELECTION NOTED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 16 Aug 82 p 6

{Editorial: "By-Election"]

[Text] pHE GERMISTON DISTRICT by-election
on Wednesday will be an indicator of
what is happening in Afrikaner politics
since the breakaway from the National
Party of Dr Treurnicht and his followers
and the formation of the Conservative
Party.

If one were to believe a poll commissioned
by an English Sunday newspaper, which
claims that the Conservative Party is
stuck at a negligible 5,8 percent of the
electorate, the by-election will be a walk-
over for the National Party. .

The newspaper also claims that two out of
every three Whites support the Prime
Minister's constitutional reform plans,
or believe that they do not go far enough.

Pinch of salt

However, if we take these findings with a
pinch of salt, it is because a poll in May
commissioned by an Afrikaans Sunday
newspaper suggested that the Conserva-
tive Party already had 18,3 percent of the
vote, the Herstigte Nasionale Party 2,7
percent, and the National Party had
fallen from 48,1 percent to 43 percent (a
poll conducted at the same time for a
Durban Sunday newspaper suggested
that NP support had fallen from 52 per-
cent to 44 percent of the electorate).

Such a disparity between the May polls
and the one announced this weekend
suggests that one can update Mark
Twain’s comment, “There are three
kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statis-

- tics” by adding “and opinion polls.”

Most Nationalist newspapers are, in fact,

~ cautious about the by-election outcome.

The exception is a Nationalist newspaper

. which quoted an expert on election re-

sults as saying that the NP will receive at

least 1500 more votes than the Conserva-

tive Party and the Herstigte Nasionale

Party combined. .

But he relied for this outcome on the large
number of English-speakers in the con-
stituency who, he claims, will support the
National Party. He says that 2 500 of the
more than 6500 people with English

“names will vote, 2 000 of them for the NP.

Of the 8 000 Afrikaners on the roll, he esti-
mates 6 000 will vote, 3 000 of them for
the NP (which means the CP and HNP
will take the other half of the Afrikaner
vote). :

Other Nationalist newspapers are more

* cautious, preparing their readers for a
possible setback.

The editor of one forecasts that Dr Treur-
nicht’s party will beat the Herstigtes in a
way that will give Mr Jaap Marais and his
lieutenants cause for deep thought about
their future.

‘The NP will beat the Conservative Party,
but “its majority will be rather one of
encouragement to hard work!”

As excuses for the possibility of a not-so
convincing win by the National Party,
the editor refers to the fact that the new
Leader in the Transvaal, Mr F W de
Klerk, has just taken over after a split
and that the Government’s new policy
has still to filter through to people.

But he omits the fact that as a new party,
the CP is at an even worse disadvantage.

EA211714 Mogadishu Domestic Service in Somali 1115 GMT 21 Aug 82

{Excerpts] The forces of the fascist Mengistu regime have once again engaged
in provocations against the Kenyan people. This is the topic of our commen-
tary, which is written and read to you by (Muhammad Umar Khayreh):

The fascist Abyssinian regime and its forces have of late been roaming around
in the Horn of Africa with weapons and [word indistinct] received from their
masters in order to hamper peace and stability in the region.

When their aims and objectives failed in Somalia the regime and its cohorts
diverted to creating chaos in neighbouring countries such as Kenya and Sudan,
which they viewed as opponents of the Kremlin's policy.

The latest provocative attack by the regime against her neighbors was the one
that its senseless forces launched on the northeastern part of Kenya, killing
civilians and looting livestock and other property.

This attack on Kenya sparked anger and a strong protest was conveyed to the
Abyssinian regime, with the demand that they explain the attack on Kenya.

The Kenyan Government is fully aware of the unprovoked aggression by Addis
Ababa and her collaborators in the Horn.

For a long time the press of that country has warned of the dangers and
insecurity that the presence of Cuba, Russia and Libyan troops poses to the
peaceful country of Kenya.

However, today's events are just another step adding fuel to the fire blazing
in the Horn of Africa.

The question is: What should the Kenyan people or the Kenyan Government do to
avoid the spilling of further blood caused by the provocations of Abyssinian
troops and their cohorts. It is known that Abyssinia has always propagated
false statements to the effect that they would live in peace with their neigh-
bours while at the same time they prepared themselves for war and provocative
attacks. .

The airline has introduced a flight connecting Tanga and Zanzibar from Dar es Sa-
laam on Wednesdays. This could be an additional one to that of Thursdays, he said.

A direct flight--Dar es Salaam/Tanga/Dar es Salaam--has been introduced on Thurs-
days, Fridays and Sundays by Fokker Friendship plane.

Two additional flights on the Dar es Salaam/Zanzibar/Tanga/Dar es Salaam route
have been included in the time table. The Dar es Salaam/Pemba/Tanga/Dar es Sa-
laam flights have been increased from two to four in a week, he said.

Ndugu Mwapachu said that the Twin Otter services between Dar es Salaam and Mafia
have been increased from seven to nine in a week. The two additional flights
would be on Saturdays and Sundays.

He said lake services operated by a Twin Otter between Mwanza and Bukoba would be

13 in a week. The Lake services which were suspended last month because of fuel
shortage are expected to start today.

He said that flights between Musoma and Mwanza have been increased to three--on Tues-

days, Fridays and Saturdays in addition to a flight between Dar es Salaam and Mu-
soma by Fokker Friendship.

Zambia have friendly and cordial relations. The allegation is merely intended
to mar these relations. We have seen through it.

It is strange that Ntsu Mokhelem as commander of the LLA, should be living in

South Africa while his army is allegedly in training bases provided by Zambia
from where he was kicked out.

LANG ACCUSES GOVERNMENT OF DECEIVING PUBLIC

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 13 Aug 82 pp 3, 9

[Text]

THE SA Administra-
tion is guilty of “selec-
tively hiding and dis-
torting the economic
statistics vital to a
proper assessment of the
‘Namibian economy and
violating the fundamen-
tal democratic principle
of “informed consent of
the citizens.”

This accusation was
levelled by -Windhoek
businessman Eric Lang
when he addressed the
economic conference in
Windhoek this week. He
suggested the conference
was “designed to defuse
criticism, not to find solu-
tions.”

Mr Lang said the SA
Government, with the as-
sistance of the SWA Ad-~
ministration, has “stunned,
not promoted,” the Ter-
titory’s development in its
own and foreign business
interests.

This has been the case

since the inception of the
Mandate and “contrary to
all its pronouncements,”
Mr Lang said. ‘
He went on to list
several indicators sup-
porting his claim:
@ In 1980 SA produced
approximately R600 worth
of minerals per capita
while Namibia produced

only R630, despite its
much smaller population;
@ Between 1946 and
1981 CDM generated after
tax profits of approximate-
ly R4,7 billion on sales in
the region of R16 billion at
current prices;
@ The Territory’s
agriculture is still “a mere
adjunct of the SA cartel
and subject to all the
socialistic malpractices
that SA politics have im-
posed on the industry”;
@ With the exception of
fish and meat canning and
the smelting of copper,
none of Namibia’s raw’
materials extracted are of
benefit locally. .
@ And the Namibian
fishing industry remains
mainly in the hands of SA
cartels, except for one fac-
tory, with SA being one of
the leading ‘foreign’ ex-
ploiters of the Territory’s
fishing resources. 4
Because nearly -all the
profits from the major sec-
tors of the economy left the
country to be invested in
SA and _ elsewhere,
Namibia was today
“dependent on SA han-
douts because none of our
administrations over the
past 60 years insisted that.
at least a portion of the bil-
lions in profits are re-
invested in Namibia.”
“Had we done this the

29

accumulative effect would
probably have, created a
GDP double of ‘What it is
today,” reckoned Mr
Lang. 7

“I am convinced that the

facade of official bluff is
crumbling and that the
citizens of this country will
judge this government
harshly in any future elec-
tions,” Mr Lang warned.

IRONIC

“It is not ironic that the
government of the day is
calling a conference to dis-
cuss the very problems it
has inherited and is
perpetuating.”

‘Mr Lang listed recently

published policy _ state-
ments by the SWA
Development Advisory
Committee, and said each
one was: “consistently
violated.”

These are:

@ Namibia should come
first in all economic deci-
sions;

@ Socio-economic
benefits must. be spread
across the whole popula-
tion.

@ The economy must be
market oriented;

© A close watch must be
kept on the forming of
monopolies, evironmental
pollution, erosion, over-
exploitation of resources,

NAMIBIA

especially by foreign in-
terests; and
@ A close watch must be
kept on “every cent” of
Government spending.

Mr Lang disclosed that
he had launched a private

investigation into
Namibia's economic
system.

However, he “ran into
official barriers wherever I
turned and was eventually
forced to use informal
channels and unorthodox
methods of enquiry.”

He continued: “Along
the way I discovered to my
relief that there are still
enough government of-
ficials who are not
prepared to be part of a
government cover-up and
who still have the interests
of the nation at heart.”

MINOR
ERRORS
~Referring to certain al-
legations he made earlier
this year concerning the
economy — mining in par-
ticular — Mr Lang said he
had to date réceived “no
convincing refutations, ex-
cept a few minor factual er-

rors.”

Satisfactory answers
from the mining authorities
have also not been given,
he added.

“Subsequent —_ research
has convinced me that



BRIGADES COULD KILL BUILDING INDUSTRY, SAYS MAYOR

Harare THE HERALD in English 10 Aug 81 p 1

[Text] BULAWAYO.

cso:

BULAWAYO'S Mayor,
Councillor Naison Ndlovu
has said the Government
was “killing the building
industry with the planned
iniroduction of the build-
ing brigades without a
pilot scheme to ascer-
tain their efficiency”.

Addressing a luncheon
of the Lions Club of Bula-
wayo, held in a city hotel
on Thursday, Cllr Ndlovu
said the Government had
“rushed to impose building
brigades on councils with-
out study, research, test
and proof of their work-
ing ability and the effects
it would have on the
building industry”.

Although the council
was obliged to implement
Government policy, he felt
that some degree of con-
sultation between the
Government and the city
councils should have taken
place.

“It is useless to in-
troduce overnight change
for the sake of change or
to appease thoSe who as-
pire for change without
the knowledge of how
harmful drastic change
is to the smooth running
of a body or organ-
isation,” he said.

The mayor said it could
be agreed that the in-
troduction of building
brigades would reduce the
spiralling costs of building
houses, but it could be in-

4700/1764

valid as long as the cost
of. building materials re-
main at the same level
and salaries continue to

rise.

He described the bulld-
ing industry in Bulawayo
‘as a major employer with
more than 143000. people
tn gainful employment.

On November 8 last
year, Cllr Ndlovu sald
tenants in the ultra-low
cost houses should form
building brigades to
facilitate extensions of
thelr homes.

“the mayor who at that
time was addressing a&
meeting of the Luveve
Residents’ Association in
Beit Hall, said through
these brigades _ people
could invite each other to
help extend thelr core-
houses.

The mayor appealed to
service organisations to
extend thelr services to
the western areas.

He said Africans tend
to align such organisation
with political activities.

Cllr Ndlovu assured his
all-white audience that he
personally would render
any help needed to estab-
ligh such organisations in
the western suburbs,

“I know that these
organisations were €x-
clusively for whites in the
past, but with in-
dependence today we

should be able to accom-
modate everybody,” he
sald. ’

NRP SPLITS OVER PW'S CONSTITUTIONAL PROPOSALS

Opposition to accept-

from Mr Adrian Ral,

tive” aspects but, equal-

Mr Raw said that “at

He emphasised that
these guidelines could
be changed at the vari-

ous National Party con-
which are to be

held in Natal and the

Mr Raw said that de-
spite the exclusion of
non homeland Blacks
on Parliamentary level,
which he described as a
“serious _ deficiency”,
the NRP should accept
the plan as the “start of
@ process towards our

vision for the new Re-

tinue.”

He said that many of
the Government’s pro-
posals conformed with

included the extension
of political rights to

TEA COMPANY MANAGER NOTES TEA PRODUCTION, SALES
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 11 Aug 82 p 1
{Article by Daniel Mshana]

[Excerpt] Tanzania expects to produce 21.2 million kilogrammes of tea in the
1982/83 period--22 per cent of which would be consumed locally and 19 per cent ex-
ported, the General Manager of the Tanzania Tea Blenders, Ndugu George Nyongo, said
in Dar es Salaam yesterday.

Speaking at a short ceremony held at the company's premises to welcome the visiting
three-man delegation from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), Ndugu
Nyongo said the 41 per cent--22 for the domestic market and 19 per cent for export--
was the amount his company would consume during the period.

He disclosed that the company would build a new modern tea blending factory in
Dar es Salaam. A plot had been secured at Vingunguti on the outskirts of the city
for the purposes.

The manager explained that domestic sales of packed tea amounted to 91.4 million/-
in 1981/82. He added that instant coffee fetched 25 million/- while sales of
roasted coffee amounted to eight million/-.

During the same period, the company exported 44 million/- worth of tea, Ndugu
Nyongo said.

However, he explained that during the 1975/77 period, tea prices in the interna~
tional market fell by 25 per cent.

He added that the present world prices had not stabilised, and the company's
strategy was geared towards securing added value which could only be boosted by
increased domestic consumption as well as sales of tea products to neighbouring
countries.

However, he said domestic sales had been affected by the current shortage of su-

gar, since increased sales of tea and coffee products depended on the availability
of sugar on the local market.

COAL-BASED FUELS CONSTITUTE BUFFER FOR OPEC DISTURBANCES

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 17 Aug 82 p 12

[Article by Jill de Villiers]

[Text] SOUTH Africa needed

cso:

liquid fuels from coal to
protect itself and its
economy from further
disturbances in crude
oil producing countries,
M J C Hoogendoorn,
head of research, ener-
gy studies at the Rand
Afrikaans University
said yesterday.

In his opening ad-
dress to the Internat-
ional Coal Conversion
Conference in Pretoria,
Mr Hoogendoorn said a
number of companies
have made submissions
to the Government on

future coal-based liqui’
fuel plants.

According to Mr Hoo-
gendoorn, a Govern-
ment committee was at
present studying the
various proposals and it
was expected that
guidelines would be
published towards the
end of this year. |

The establishment of
liquid fuel plants was
essential to the econ-
omy of the country. It
would save foreign ex-
change and create job
opportunities for the
fast-growing working
population, he said.

He warned, however,
that prospective com-
panies, who would use
Government assistance
in establishing such

4700/1762

plants, should take the
technical risks and fi-
nancial penalties for
those risks upon them-
selves, as well as the fi-
nancial responsibility
fer overrunning the es-
timated _ investment.
They should also be re-
sponsible for finding
markets for their prod-

ucts.

Commenting on Gov-
ernment financing for
such projects, he said fi-
nancial assistance
should not differen-
tiate between different
processes but should be
equal for all on an ener-
gy basis. No-one would
like to see large scale
technical experiments
financed with the tax-
payers’ money.

On the more practical
aspects of coal conver-
sion in South Africa he
said a decision to build
a large coal conversion
plant would not be a
jump in the dark as it
would be in other coun-
tries. South Africa had
close to 30 years, ex-
perience in the conver-
sion of coal into liquid
fuels and chemicals.

The country had coal
reserves of 150 billion
tons, he said. Consider-
ing the present coal
production, which
stood at approximately
125 million tons per an-
num, coal availability
would be no problem.

SIBANYONI ASSURES NEWSMEN OF COOPERATION

Mbabane THE SWAZI OBSERVER in English 7 Aug 82 p 1

[Text]

cso:

THE Director of Personnel Management and
Head of the Civil Service, Mr Shadrack Siba-
nyoni, has assured journalists that his office
would ensure that Government officials, includ-
ing Cabinet Ministers, co-operated with the

Press in Swaziland.

Mr Sibanyoni was ans-
wering questions at an open
lecture where he was guest
speaker at the invitation of

e Swaziland National
Association of Journalists.
The lecture was held at the
Swaziland College of Tech-
nology on Thursday night.

Mr Sibanyoni said lack of
communication between
the various media organi-
sations in the country was
making the work of the
Press difficult. This some-
times resulted in reporters
publishing unbalanced
news items.

The Director had been
asked to comment on the
practice by some Govern-
ment Ministers of failing to
give answers to written que-
stions. The example of one
senior . Cabinet Minister
who had said one of the
newspapers should never
publish anything about his
Ministry had been brought
to Mr Sibanyoni’s atten-
tion.

4700/1765

In his main address, Mr
Sibanyoni said journalists
should avoid sensational
reporting because this was
destructive to develop-
ment, @specially in a dev-
eloping country like Swazi-
land.

He said in developing
countries, journalists shou-
Id see “eye to eye” with the
politicians, particularly in
dealing with stories of a
political nature.

He said some of the news-
papers in Swaziland had
fallen into the hands of
journalists who were biased
and prepared to see dev-
elopment crumble.

Mr Sibanyoni said the
media in a developing coun-
try should be conscious of
its responsibility to project
development projects so
that people were made awa-
re of what was being done to
improve their lives.

Mr Sibanyoni declined to
discuss a complaint from
the floor that local journ-
alists were expected to effe-
ctively present Swaziland’s

89

case on the current border
adjustment talks with Sou-
th Africa, while they were
not being given enough
facts.

The Director said this
matter was exclusively en-
trusted in the hands of His
Majesty and it would end
there. No one else was com-
petent to talk about that
subject.

was down 20,4 percent
to R36,6-million (R46-
million). Transfer to
the reserve for expendi-
ture on mining assets
was R36,5-million (R46-
million).

Impala managing di-
rector, Mr RC Bovell,
says metal markets in
general have suffered
from reduced demand
and depressed prices.

Platinum had been
no exception, although
demand from the Japa-
nese jewellery industry
had remained strong,
‘he said. In spite of the
gloom of depressed
economies everywhere
in the world, business
was still continuing, al-
beit at reduced levels.

“Impala has experi-
enced reductions in
offtake by customers in
line with contract con-
ditions, but total sales
remained at a reason-
able level,” Mr Bovell
said.

Because of the close
liaison with customers
these decreases in deliv-
eries were accommo-
dated by an “orderly”
curtailment of produc-
tion.

It had proved neces-
sary during the second
half of the year to fur-
ther cut the platinum

82 p 22

production rate to the
present level of 680 000
ounces per annum. In

the __ circumstances,
“certain capital pro-
jects” had been de-

ferred and capital ex-
penditure for the year
to June 30, 1983 was

now estimated to be off
the order of R21-mil-
lion.

Mr Bovell said the
very low level of tradi-
ition industrial offtake
of platinum from the
free market had re-
sulted in the platinum
price falling substan-
tially below the produc-
er price.

Until there was an
improvement in the in-
dustrial demand the
free market price of the
metal would continue
to follow the movement
of the gold price rather
than reflect the total
supply demand posi-
tion.

Mr Bovell painted a
grim picture for the
outlook of Impala. He
said it was unlikely that
results for the current
year would match those
for the 1982 year be-
cause costs were con-
tinuing to rise and an
improvement in de-
mand for platinum
from current levels

NO NEWS ABOUT MISSING COSAS MAN

cso:

Saturday, Black student
“leader Siphiwo Mtim-
kulu disappeared from
the Livingstone Hospital
in Port Elizabeth with no
money, and walked in
pain with a stick. He in-
tended returning home
after treatment and wore
slippers and light cloth-
ing.

Mr Mtimkulu spent
five months in detention
last year, was released
by Security Police in Oc-

severe pains in his legs,
and stomach.

When he disappeared
he was suing the Minis-

R150 000 for alleged
poisoning while in police
custody. .
Siphiwo, an active
member of the Congress
of South African Stu-
dents (Cosas), disap-

4700/1784

peared on April 14 after
being seen in Liv-
ingstone Hospital by a
doctor who recognised
him, sent him to collect
his file, and told him to
return for medication.
He never returned to’
the doctor's office.
Immediately after he
vanished rumours began
that Siphiwo was in Le-
sotho. Some were
prompted by suspicious
phone calls, always to
friends of Siphiwo, al-
ways, apparently when

they were not at home.
The callers left mes-
“sages saying: “Tell them
this is Siphiwo, that Iam
in Lesotho, and that I
am safe.”

The rumours were re-
inforced by finding a
car at Tellec Bridge,
near the Lesotho
border. The car was
owned by Mr Topsy Ma-
daka, who has also not
been seen or heard from
since April 14.

A cali was received by
Mrs Winnie Magwadi, a
domestic worker who

:knew Siphiwo, but did
not recognise the voice
on the phone. When she
challenged the caller,
the phone was slammed
down. .

One rumour sug-

“gested that Siphiwo had

been re-detainted by the
South African Security
Police, but this was de-
nied by Lieutenant-
General Johann Coet-
zee. foo

Another rumour that

he was held by Transkei
Police, has not been
proved or disproved.

Mrs Di Bishop, who is
the PFP MPC for Gar-
dens, and Mrs Mtimkulu
went to Lesotho on Fri-
day, June 11, to try to
find Siphiwo.

Mr Brian Bishop, a
member of the Catholic
Justice and Peace Com-
mission, had a letter to
the archbishop of Ma-
seru, requesting cooper-
ation.

! They met the archbi-

‘shop and it was agreed
that the office of the
United Nations high,
commission for refugees
could help, and an intro-
duction was arranged.
Later the UN rep-
_resentative said Siphiwo
had never entered Leso-
tho, Mr Bishop said:
“His office had checked
UN and state records
and interviewed rep-
resentatives of a South

The search, ‘continues
— throughout South Af-

one that Siphiwo is be-
ing detained in Trans-
kei.

Questioned this week
Major G van Rooyen,
head of the Port Eliza-
‘beth branch of the po-
lice directorate of public
relations, said no search
for Siphiwo was orga-
nised from Port Eliza-
beth because his disap-
pearance was never re-
ported to them.

The office of the com-
missioner of police.
however, has written to
the PFP MP for
Walmer, Mr Andrew
Savage, to say charges
of leaving the country

documents were being

JAPAN TO PROVIDE ELECTRONICS INSTRUCTOR, MACHINERY TO CENTER

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 11 Aug 82 p 1

[Text] _sapAN will provide an elec-

cso:

-tronics instructor and ad-
“ditional machinery to the
Matsushita Training Centre
in Dar es Salaam.

The visiting Assistant
General Manager of the Cor-
porate Overseas Management,
‘African and Middle East
department, a subsidiary of
Matsushita Electric Company
of Osaka, Japan, Mr Yuzo
Koyama, said in the city
yesterday that it was his com-
pany’s strategy to ‘conduct
feasibility studies in
Developing countries to see
possible areas of assistance.

Mr. Koyama, who toured
the training centre at
Mikocheni, pointed out that
Matsushita had not invested
much in Africa. Tanzania is
the only country where Mat-
sushita has the biggest
business undertaking in the
continent, he said.

He said the holding com-
pany in Japan would continue
to provide raw materials for
the Tanzania Matsushita
Electric Compay in Dar es
Salaam.

Mr. Koyama. said his
delegation had “friendly
talks” with the Minister for
Finance, Ndugu Amir Jamal,
the Minister for Trade, Ndugu
Ali Mchumo, the Principal
Secretary in the Ministry of
Industries, Ndugu Fadhili
Mbaga, and other Govern-
ment officials.

He said they also met Bank
of Tanzania officials and
discussed the possibility of
Japan giving some suppliers
credit on some unpaid
balance. He did not elaborate.

However, Mr. Koyama said
his delegation told the bank

officials that Japan would
like to import more Tan-
zanian goods, such as coffee.

Mr. Koyama commended
Matsushita company workers

Managing Director, Mr. M.

contributed a lot to. the com-
pany, especially in export

Trend Set

Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 19 Aug 82 p 5

[Article by Sam Mabe]

[Excerpts] FUNERALS of people
whose deaths are con-
nected in one way or
another with the coun-
try’s security laws, may
never be the same again.
The trend was set when
Mr Ernest Dipale, who
allegedly hanged himself
in a cell at John Vorster
Square, was buried last
weekend.

The green, black and
gold flag which had be-
come a prominent fea-
ture at. most political fu-
nerals in Soweto, was
not hoisted. Only hymns
were sung at the funeral
service. There was no
shouting of revolution-
ary slogans. Freedom
songs and political
speeches were not
made.

No pamphlets were
distributed and there
was no singing and danc-
ing in the street with the
deceased’s coffin carried
shoulder high and
clenched fists waved in
the air.

Mourners did not
march to the cemetery
and neither was the cof-
fin ferried on horse-cart.
The funeral procession
did not attract much
public attention and it
did not in any way cause
much disruption to the
flow of traffic.

. The funeral was a sol-
emn affair over which
prevailed a tense atmos-
phere. It was unlike
Steve Biko’s, Mangaliso
Sobukwe's or that of
Fannie Mafoko. one of
the three ANC guerillas

killed during the Silver-
ton siege in 1980.

To those who at-
tended any of these fu-
nerals or many others of
their kind, there was no
doubting that something
was missing at Dipale's
service.

Dipale was buried the
way he was because the
authorities wanted him
to be buried that way.

Lieutenant-General
Johan Coetzee. deputy-
Commissioner of Police
and Chief of the Secu-
tity Police. recently said
that the aims and ob-
jects of banned organi-
sations were being fur-
thered at some of the fu-
nerals.

And to put this to an
end, a Johannesburg
magistrate. Mr J P Du-
venhage, did what has
never happened in
South Africa before. He
set into operation Arti-
cle 46 of the newly legis-
lated Internal Security
Act Number 47 of 1982,
in terms of which a num-
ber of things could not
be done during Dipale’s
funeral service. oy,

stions has been closed.

The history of the

that blacks were also

cieties.

CROCODILES TERRORIZE LIVESTOCK OWNERS

Mbabane THE SWAZI OBSERVER in English 7 Aug 82 p 1

{Excerpt ]

LIVESTOCK owners along Usutu River belo
terrorised by crocodiles which have destroye

past two years.

SWAZILAND

ww the Siphofaneni Bridge, are being
d more than 100 of their goats in the

People in the area reported that there was alsoa man-eating crocodile on the western side of the
bridge. According to the residents the crocodiles struck when the water level on the Usutu River
was high during the rainy season.

“There’s a lull now bec-
ause its winter, but come
and cheek when the water
goes up,” one woman said.

17-year-old Clement
Gamedze said his friend,
Absalom Khumalo, was all-
eged to have been caught by
the crocodiles. He was
never found but his clothes
were seen floating near the
bank of the river the foll-
owing day. .

Another unidentified
man was alleged to have
been caught and later disco-
vered with a leg and arm
missing. :

Mr Mgcashula Gamedze,
Clement’s father, said he
had lost more than 100
goats during the past two
years to the crocodiles.
They caught the goats when
they went to drink at the
river, he said.

“We have known about
the existence of crocodiles
invour river for a long time,”
he said.

cso: 4700/1765

, “But over the last two
years, they seem to have
liked goat’s meat.”

Mr Gamedze said he had
tried to trap one trouble-
some, crocodile early this
year by tying a goat next to
the river bank. When it
came for the goat he shot its
nose, he said.

“I was hoping to at least

blind it,” he added.
He said he had seen some of
the reptiles measuring
more than four metres,
basking on a sand bank in
the river.

“Unfortunately, we have
been warned that killing the
beastly things is a crime and
we cannot get rid of them,
Mr Gamedze said.

One day a crocodile cau-
ght more than three goats.
“It was catching one, cro-
ssed with it to the sand bank,
on the other side of the
river, and then came back to.
catch another,” he said.

Other families who clai-
med to have suffered the
same fate with their goats

were Hhandeka Mavim-
bela, Mfanukhona Tsab-
edze and Sgwili Shongwe,
who all claimed losses of
more than 10.
victims but the number was
negligible. .
“We are tired of keeping
live&tock just to fatten
these crocodiles,” they
said.

At the weekend the NRP’s leader, Mr
Vause Raw, asked for qualified accept-
ance of the plan.

“If you oppose blindly and totally because
everything does not conform to what you
want, you-are withdrawing to become a
protest Opposition. You are standing on
the sidelines.”

However, Mr Nigel Wood, the MP for Be-
rea, warned that if the NRP went along
with the Prime Minister, the party could
be seen to be “hanging on his coat tails.”

If that happened, “we might as well pack
up and go home right now.”

Didn’t like...

®he congress, which took no final deci-
sion, was united on what it did not like
about the proposals — the exclusion of
non-homeland Blacks, the virtual exclu-
sion of Opposition parties from constitu-
tional procedures, the scrapping of the

‘provincial government system, the ab-
sence of a single joint decision-making
forum and inadequate safeguards in
curbing the proposed executive Presi-
dent and President’s Council.

One can see the NRP’s dilemma — to reject
the plan out of hand would place the
NRP in the same category as the PFP,
namely, a party that always says “No.”
To accept the plan without demanding
changes would be to capitulate to the
Government on crucial aspects of policy.
But running through it all is the NRP’s
hankering for reform, with the plan as
the “start of a process towards our vision
for the new Republic,” as Mr Raw put it.

How to resolve the dilemma is a matter
still to be decided.

The PFP has an even worse problem.

It wants reform, and some of its more
moderate members can see the benefits.
of starting off a process which may well
lead, in time, to even wider reforms in-
volving the Blacks.

But to accept the plan at this point with-
out any provision in it for the Blacks is
anathema to the party’s Left. - +

The PFP’s problem is compounded by the’
fact that the section of Big Business
which supports it is dead keen on reform,
any reform, as.long as it offers hope that
in the long run it will bring about the end
of the present apartheid system.

The PFP may lose the support of moderate
Blacks if it does not continue the battle

cso: 4700/1763

to get Blacks into the new power-sharing
dispensation, but on the other hand it is
in danger of losing a great deal of its fi-
nancial support if it continues its boycott
attitude towards the Government.

Neither the NRP nor the PFP can avoid
dissension because some members will
say an outright “No” and others will say
“Yes,” with reservations, to the Govern-
ment’s plans.

But if the truth be told, both will in any
event lose support as the Prime Minister
moves into the centre.

. More dangerous

The more dangerous rift is within Afrika-
nerdom, which.has held the reins of pow-
er since 1948.

Here the Conservative Party and the Her-
stigte Nasionale Party are in no doubt
where they stand — they completely op-
pose the constitutional plan.

In the ranks of the ruling party there are

still many people who doubt the plan’s

wisdom, and powerful Afrikaner inter-
ests are also against it.

defence minister said earlier this week that US military
facilities in Egypt may well become Politically
impossible to retain at the same level).

This year’s US Foreign Military Assistance (FMS)
programme for Kenya consists of $22m of credits and

$10m of grants. (Compared to a total of $90m since
1950). The aim of the programme is to give the airforce
a credible defence (and strike) capability with F-SEs
with Sidewinder missiles, and to greatly enlarge and
improve anti-tank capabilities by setting up the army
with about 40 Hughes S500MD Defender helicopters
equipped with anti-tank guided weapons. So far this
year Kenya has taken delivery of 32 of the above heli-
copters and two F-SF trainer aircraft. (Plus equipment
for the ongoing F-5 support programme and various
navigational aides etc).

Early reports spoke of damage to installations, and
equipment at Embakasi and Nanyuki. If a large part of
the airforce was involved in the coup attempt, the F-5
programme could obviously go on ice for a time.
Alternatively, if it were politically desirable, it may be
possible to increase the US International Military and
Educational Training (IMET) allocation for Kenya in
order to re-staff hastily the airforce.

Much depends on how the Kenyan government
reacts — whether it will give those units of the armed
forces which are convincingly loyal, a mandate to take
a much more prominent part in the running of the
country, or whether, conscious of a need to preempt
the growing current of popular dissatisfaction with
government, it will become more liberal. In the follow-
ing issue we will examine the post-coup ramifications in

NIGERIA

FUTURE OF OIL INDUSTRY SAID BLEAK
Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 3 Aug 82 pp 1, 13
[Article by Omafume Amurun]

[Text] The future of the nation's oil industry is uncertain. Mr. L. A. Amu, the
Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), has said.

"The logical implication for Nigeria is to undertake a major review of its national
plans and priorities so as to make a judicious use of the dwindling revenue from
oil", he said.

Mr. Amu was speaking to a selected audience drawn from the armed forces and top
public servants in Lagos yesterday on "Nigeria's Oil Industry."

He supported his assertion with the annual growth rate in the world oil demand
which had dropped from seven per cent between 1950 and 1973 to less than three per
cent in 1978 and a negative growth rate of about 1.1 per cent in 1980.

Mr. Amu pointed out that the share of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Coun-
tries (OPEC) oil both in absolute and percentage terms of total world oil supply
had persistently dropped illustrating continuous displacement of OPEC oil through
substitution of other energy sources and by non-OPEC oil.

The NNPC managing director noted that the net impact of these developments for the
nation's oil industry had been traumatic adding that the country's traditional cus—
tomers had walked away from their contracts.

"For a nation that has totally become dependent on crude sales, this is a worrying
development and the frightening aspect of this development is that it is likely to
be a permanent feature and there is little hope of recovery in sight", Mr Amu said.

He therefore called for a sound economic investment rather than poorly conceived
and politically motivated projects.

The NNPC chairman lamented that the country's main expectations from the oil indus-
try had turned out to be mainly to generate foreign exchange and revenues for the
coffers of government with inadequate concern for industrial transformation of the
economy.

SOMALI DEFENSE MINISTER CLAIMS ETHIOPIAN DESIGNS FRUSTRATED
EA201714 Mogadishu Domestic Service in Somali 1115 GMT 20 Aug 82

[Summary] The First Vice President and Minister for Defense, Challe Lt Gen
Mohammed Ali Samatar, last night attended celebrations at the National Theater
in Mogadishu marking the 10th anniversary of the formation of the victory
guards.

"Challe Mohamed Ali Samatar said that recently the Abyssinians and their allies
have been carrying out continuous provocative attacks on the Somali Democratic
Republic but have met with defeats and humiliation, that they will never forget.
The Somali armed forces have frustrated their designs.

"The first vice president and minister for defense pointed out that in addition
to protecting the fruits of the revolution, the victory guards have taken part
in the defense of Somali soil. He said the Somali people love peaceful
coexistence and are not given to provocations, but they never tolerate external
provocation. Those supporting Abyssinia in its attacks on Somalia should know
that the people of Somalia are courageous and have self-confidence.

"The vice president noted that the war started by Abyssinia and its allies is
still going on, adding that we have confidence in the capability of our forces
and in the support of the public and have no doubt about the final result."

SECURITY LAWS USED T0 CONTROL FUNERALS

No Politics
Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 16 Aug 82 p 1
[Article by Sam Mabe]

[Text] 'A SOWETO priest was booed by mourners at the weekend

while giving a graveside commital at the funeral of Mr Ernest
Dipale, who allegedly hanged himself in a cell at John

Vorster Square.

The mourners booed when the Rev G J Shongwe said the Dipale
family had told him that the most Christian thing to do in a situation
similar to the one facing them was to forgive.

Our mourner was heard saying: “We are forgiving nobody — who

forgives us?”

There were more than
300 mourners who at-
tended the quiet and
simple funeral, at which
black traditional cus-
toms were not observed.

The funeral differed
from other politically o-
rientated funerals as it
was conducted in
accordance with orders
issued in terms of the
new security laws.

Freedom songs, slo-
gans and political
speeches were not heard
at the one-hour service
held at the Dipales’
Dube home.

In an order signed by

a Johannesburg magi-
strate, which said the re-
Strictions were to pre-
vent the funeral service
from posing a threat to
public peace, it was
‘stipulated that:

© No political party or
any other organisation
may be supported or at-
tacked during speeches,
prayers, songs cr in any
other way;
®@ No posters, banners,
pamphlets or flags may
be shown, carried or dis-
tributed; -
@ The body may be
transported only in a
hearse;
©@ The gathering at 942
Salmon Street must re-
main a bona-fide fune-
ral; :
© The procession from
the house to the burial
ground may use only
mechanical transport;
© A specific route
(which was detailed in
the order) must be fol-
lowed.

The service, which
Started at 8am, was kept

under the watchful eye

of the Security Police,
who took photographs
of all mourners arriving

SACKS MADE FROM BANANA FIBRES

[Text] An interesting experiment

in Somalia

A small sack filled with
about 5 kg of sorghum —
together with the soccer
films — was the main at-
traction at the German
stand at the Internatio-
nal Tarde Fair Somalia
in Mogadishu.

At first sight, the exhi-
bit looked just like any
other jute sack, but clo-
ser look at the inscription
revealed that this sack
was made from 100 per
cent Somali banana fi-
bres.

For years, the <bana-

Ruck, has doggedly been
pursuing his goal of ma-
king Scmalia the first
country which not only
harvests the edible fruit
of the banana but also
other useful parts of the

tree, above all its fibres.

So far, the problem has
been the isolation of the
fibres from the trunk of
the banana tree, which
has a 3 to 4 per cent fibre
content. Numerous ex-
periments have been car-
ried out all over the
world, but Consul Ruck
is so far the only person
to have been issued with
a patent for the machine
he developed for extrac-
ting the fibre (Patent

The essential part of the
invention is a special and

DROP IN METAL PRICES OVERSHADOWS INDUSTRY'S FUTURE

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 19 Aug 82 p 24

{Article by Pat McLoughlin]

[Text] IN THE Present cii-

CSO:

mate of world economic
recession — which had
resulted in a fall-off in
demand for minerals
and caused a drop in
metal prices — it was
hard to be enthusiastic
or optimistic about the
future of the South
African minerals indus-
try.

This was one of the
major points raised by
Professor A N Brown in
his presidential address
to the annual meeting
of the South African In-
stitute of Mining and
Metallurgy yesterday.

“We have no other
option than to be opti-
mistic because this
country finds itself to-
day where the minerals
industry has brought it
and will be tomorrow
where the minerals in-
dustry has taken it,”
Prof Brown said.

The “vexing” ques-
tion was whether there
would be adequate
manpower and, in par-
ticular, engineers to
meet the challenges of
developing the country

4700/1784

for the benefit of all.

Recent studies con-
ducted by the Depart-
ment of Manpower U-
tilisation and FSPE in-
dicated an increase in
demand for engineers
in general. But a se-
rious situation existed
because only 50 percent
of the demand was be-
ing supplied — and the
situation was getting
worse.

In the minerals in-

dustry, which had al-
ways suffered from an
undersupply, only one-
third of the demand
had been met in the
past.
‘It seems neither
right nor wise that the
country’s premier in-
dustry should not have
an adequate supply of
engineers,” Prof Brown.
said.

There was a danger
that without enough
trained engineers plan-
ned mining expansion
programmes would be
most difficult to meet
within the limits of
time and cost. Research
efforts would also be
starved.

Prof Brown said the
coal mining industry

had emerged from be-
ing the Cinderella of
the minerals industry
to become its most ex-
citing future prospect.

“It is destined to be-
come the most import-
ant mineral commodi-
ty,” Prof Brown said.

Since the 1973 oil cri-
sis, vast expansion pro-
grammes had been
planned. An increase in
coal exports to an ener-
gy-hungry world would
reach 44 million tons in
1985 and grow to 80 mil-
lion tons by 1990.

Examining the fu-
ture of South African
gold production, Prof
Brown said the metal
had been the backbone
of the economy for al-
most a century.

Predictions had been
made that gold produc-
tion would fall steadily
over the next two
decades as present re-
serves were depleted.
But some of these pre-
dictions dated back to
before the upward
trend in the gold price
and as the metal be-
came more scarce the

67

SOUTH AFRICA

price could be expected
to rise in real terms.
“This would encou-
rage the extraction of
ore which is presently
considered to be sub-
grade and considerable
reserves do exist in
wide low-grade reefs.”

The concept of the
super mines such as
Driefontein and Vaal
Reefs could ensure min-
ing large tonnages of
low-grade ore at rela-
tively low cost.

Depth and the at-
tendant high stresses
could be a limiting fac-
tor affecting the ex-
traction of wide reefs
and also mining in
ground fractured and
disturbed by previous
mining operations.

The scarcity factor
could be expected to in-
crease as demand for
industrial use exceeded
the rate of production
of newly mined gold.

“Hence, it is expected
that gold production
will persist for many
years at levels above
the decline predicted in
the past, Prof Brown
said.

PE DOCK DISPUTE WORRIES INDUSTRY
Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 17 Aug 82 p 8

[Text] Port Elizabeth.--The Midland Chamber of Industries has called for a delega-
tion comprising a city council representative and labour relations experts to find

a solution to the dispute between the South African Transport Services and Port
Elizabeth dock workers.

The chamber's call came after about 600 dockers signed a letter calling on the

port manager to open discussions with the workers’ committee by next Monday at the
latest.

The letter said 10 months of efforts by the General Workers’ Union to negotiate
with SATS on "work-place” issues had failed.

"If the SATS administration does not agree to the workers' request they will be
forced to conclude that there is no point in further efforts to initiate discussions,"
the letter said.

While the workers were not seeking a confrontation with SATS, such a confrontation
would undoubtedly draw in GWU stevedore members in all four South African ports and
would get support from members of the International Transport Workers' Federation.

"A conflict on this scale would inevitably spill into the already tense black town-
ships of Port Elizabeth," the workers' letter added.

"We call on the leaders of the city and all those concerned with Port Elizabeth's
economic and political well-being to intervene urgently in this conflict to try to
persuade the SATS administration to negotiate a solution to this potentially dan-
gerous conflict."

The chamber's executive director, Mr Brian Matthew, said today: "The chamber is
concerned that the entire labour situation seems to be deteriorating."

To protect industrialists in the area, a delegation should meet SATS and the union
concerned in a bid to find a solution to the problem, he said.

Industry could not play a direct role in such dialogue as it had a vested interest
in the outcome.

SATS confirmed receipt of the workers' letter and reiterated that approaches to its
management had to be conducted "through the correct channels.

Possibly the most serious post independence challenge to traditional authority
came in October 1977 when thousands of schoolchildren demonstrated in support
of teachers' pay claims.

The spirit of rebellion that materialised then is unlikely to have gone com-
pletely.

With King Sobhuza gone, presure may increase, particularly from the young for
a greater decision-making role for the people but this is likely to be some
time in coming.

He accepted South African refugees and allowed South African nationalist organi-
sations to set up a peaceful presence.

But, he was quick to crack down on groups such as the African National Congress
and the Africanist Congress if evidence were found that they were carrying
weapons in Swaziland or using Swazi territory as a springboard for attacks on
South Africa.

The new constitution announced by the king a few years ago gave Swaziland a
semblance of Western democracy but did not change the real power structure.

The parliament and senate are, in the main, nominated by consultation with

the nation's elders but it is clear that no decision of national importance

is made without the approval of Conarch.

A significant attempt to force change was led by the leader of the banned opposi-
tion Ngwane National Liberation Party, Dr Ambrose Zwane, who was jailed in

early 1978.

He escaped from Matsapha Prison and fled to Mozambique and then Tanzania.

But Zwane apparently got little sympathy and no support from Presidents Machel
and Nyerere:and returned to Swaziland, a sick man with a royal pardon.

The army, in many countries a prime source of potential presidents, has largely
fallen from power and popularity because there is almost nothing for it to do.

Effectively Swaziland's is a single-party tribally-entrenched system, a method
of government shared by most African countries in Africa.

Anxiety Over Future Role
MB241124 Johannesburg RAND DAILY MAIL in English 24 Aug 82 p 8
[Editorial: "Death of a King"]
[Text] King Sobhuza II ruled for so long that a sense of something close to
unchangeability attached to him and to his country. While restlessness and

turmoil became the order of the day in much of the African continent, Swazi-
land remained tranquil and at peace, at least on the surface.

Motivated by this understanding, they called for immediate withdrawal of all
foreign troops from Lebanese territory in order to enable its people to resume
political control of their territory under the guidance of a national and
effective government.

They reaffirmed the right of the Palestine people to self-determination and
establishment of an independent state of their own in the region.

6. The two presidents reviewed, in depth, the latest developments in the
southern region of Africa and reaffirmed their total support to and solidarity
with the people of Namibia in their just struggle against the illegal occupation
of their territory by racist regime of South Africa.

To that effect, they commended the effort of the western contact group in their
search for a just and lasting solution to the problem of Namibia and reaffirmed
the inalienable rights of the people of Namibia to accede to sovereignty and
full independence on the basis of U.N. Security Council Resolution 435.

They strongly condemned the South African regime for its policy of apartheid
and unreservedly supported the people of Azania in their struggle to free
themselves from this inhuman system.

President Chon paid high tribute to the various initiatives undertaken by
President Moi in his capacity as the chairman of the Organization of African
Unity, aimed at attaining the goals of political understanding and economic
cooperation among the African countries.

7. President Chon, reviewing the situation on the Korean Peninsula, explained
in detail the efforts of the government of the Republic of Korea in trying to
achieve the reunification of the peninsula by peaceful means.

He particularly emphasized that the only realistic way to achieve eventual
reunification is by holding direct talks between the highest authorities of
South and North Korea.

President Moi, appreciating the efforts and initiatives of the Republic of
Korea, assured President Chon of continued Kenyan Government's support of the
dialogue as advocated by the Korean Government.

8. The two presidents reviewed the current trends in the world economic
situation which adversely affects their efforts towards faster and sustained
economic development. They agreed that the question of the North-South dia-
logue, aimed at restructuring the present international economic order is one
of the most pressing problems that the international community needs to resolve.

The two presidents appealed to the developed countries to abandon their uncom-
promising position so that the proposed global negotiations could be launched
as soon as possible with a view to contributing to the establishment of the
new international economic order, taking into account the special needs and
interests of the developing countries.

‘and

‘SA's 12 islands off Namibia’s coast. There

are 17 islands in total. Long Island is
regarded as one. The dotted line is Namibia's
20 km territorial off-shore zone. Each island
has an imaginary triangular shape of water
around it, forming its own territorial and
fishing waters. Waters on the landward side
of each island are equally divided between

the two countries.

This is a result of the

method of caiculation.
IMAGINARY

Basically, the method in-
volves dropping imaginary
perpendicular lines from
each island onto the beach,
both sides of the island
(north and south).

From the points of in-
tersection, two lines are
projected out to sea in such
a way that at any point on
each line, the distance to
the coast — again on both
sides of the line — are
equal.

What this boils down to
is that the shape of the
coastline is taken into ac-
count with each island.

Fears that SA’s Seal and
Penguin Islands in
Liideritz Bay would seal
off virtually all access from
the -harbour to. the sea,
were . dispelled by Mr
Kruger, on detailing these
calculations.

This is because an island
inside a bay lands up with
off-shore rights shaped in a
triangle with its apex
pointing out to sea. The
bay therefore dominates
the island’s waters.

Hollandsbird, Mercury,
Halifax, Long, Possession

and Plumpudding islands —

also fall into this category.
SA islands lying next to
Capes are Albatross,
Pomona and _ Sinclair's
island (previously called
Roast Beef Island).
Islands off capes have
triangular-shaped off-shore
zones, with the base widen-
ing out to sea, giving the
island .a bigger off-shore

“area of fishing rights, until

32

the boundaries end at the
200-mile fishing limit.

Mr Kruger,
acknowledged, however,
that theoretically, if poor
relations did arise between
an independent Namibia
and SA, the latter could ex-
ploit its strategic off-shore
claims to the islands and
make things difficult for
Namibia. This applies es-
pecially in the case of
Liideritzbucht — the Ter-
titory’s -only alternative
harbour at this stage.

But Mr Kruger was
quick to point out that in-
ternational law also re-
quired the right of access
by each country in areas of
adjoining territorial waters. ©
_ Interestingly, the Kudu
gas concession off
Namibia’s southern coast,
also involves these islands,
and their adjoining waters
bordering on Namibia’s.

Without disclosing any
strategic - details, Mr”
Kruger said most of the
gas concession area falls
inside Namibian waters.

TENSION

Some tension might arise
here too, if the mining
company one day decided
to sink a production well in
a SA triangle of water.

Namibia would then lose
out. -

There is also a diamond
concession on some of the
islands. The concession,
according to Mr Walvis
Bay’s director, belongs to a
company called Island
Diamonds, and is
presumably from the De
Beers fold.

scraping concessions are

got a mixed reception and was not fully debated as the Bishop of Natal, the Right
Reverend Michael Nuttal, indicated that it should be at least 10 years from the
death of any candidate before possibly including his name on the calendar of saints.
The synod nevertheless passed the motion that in view of the witness made by Mr
Biko and Mr Mabija to the social implications of the word of God, and also in view
of the fact that they died in the hands of a repressive system, the Episcopal Synod
of the Church of the Province of SA should be asked to examine their lives with a

PAPER APPROVES CEILING ON LOANS TO STATES

Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 5 Aug 82 p 1

(Editorial:

[Text]

ALHAJI! Lateef Jakande, Governor of

Lagos State. says he ‘‘cannot unders-
tand the logic’’ of the 200 million
Naira ceiling on external loans
for state governments. Alright. what
about the economics of the measure?
As at April this year. (see NN of 1/4/82)
external borrowings by state govern-
ments were: Anambra 238.3m_Naira:
Bendel. 174.6m Naira: Benue. 264.2m
Naira: Borno. 162.1m Naira: Kaduna.
102.1m Naira: Kano. 93.1m Naira: Kwa-
ta. 21.5m Naira: Lagos. 75m Naira:
Niger. 111.4m Naira: Imo. 366.9m Naira:
Ondo. 234.1m Naira: Oyo. 335.9m Naira:
Gongola: 26.1m Naira: Sokoto. 324.7m
Naira: Bauchi. .213.3m Naira: Rivers.
158.8m Naira: and Ogun. 91.6m Naira.
According to the Minister of Finance.
Mr. Victor Masi. these amounted to
3.742 billion Naira. Since then other
state governments. notably Benue and
Plateau states have secured more
external loans. :
_ tf you add the interests ac-
Cruing on these loans alone, it becomes
difficult-for anyone not to understand
the “‘logic’’ of the Federal Government
action in placing the 200 mihion Naira
ceiling. Obviously, at the rate the states
were going, if the Federal Government
had not acted, it would have been
disastrous for the country’s economy,
even if the logic of their action was
unimpeachable. . . .

Curiously, Alhaji Lateef argues that

-the external loans by state governments

*.....have no direct bearing on the cur-
rent financial situation,’” but admits
that ‘‘they could have an effect on

"200-Million Naira Ceiling"]

future repayments''. His last point alone
is a major source of worry. We can all
understand the ambition of the political
leaders to fulfil their so-called elec-
tioneering campaign promises. But
teasonable, and even desirable, as this
is. should it be done at the expense of
the economy of this country now or in

the immediate future? Would it be fair to-

allow one set of political leaders, most
of whom are long in the theory of
political development but short on
sound economic management, to sad-
dle successive regimes in the states
with external loans, much of which ap-
pears to have ‘‘missed’’ their way into
private pockets rather than the public
iN?

What worries Governor Jakande is
what he regards as unfairness on the
part of the Federal Government in taking
the measure. He argues that while the
Federal Government had allowed a state
to borrow as much as 334 million Naira.
others are now limited to 200 million
Naira only. Explanation: there was no
ceiling then. He is also wrong to argue
that since the Federal Government ‘‘has
all the freedom in the world.....in its ac-
quisition of external loans’’. it has no
right to restrain the states. .

Were we not operating a unique
federalism. the state governments
woutd not ‘‘scramble’’ as they do for
foreign loans. The Federal Government
guarantee for these loans shows clearly
that the states are not in themselves
competent to borrow externally.

We think the Federal Government
made a ‘‘mistake’’ in allowing the state

SPECULATION ON FUTURE OF SWAZILAND
Changes Expected To Be Slow
MB241159 Johannesburg THE STAR in English 23 Aug 82 p 15

(Editorial: "Royal Power Weaker But...Swazis Will Be Slow to Change," by
Brendan Nicholson, THE STAR's Africa News Service]

{Text] The death of the shrewd and pragmatic King Sobhuza II is not likely to
affect relations between Swaziland and South Africa immediately.

But, in the long term, the passing of the world's longest reigning monarch
will almost certainly lessen the absolute power of the royalty in the tiny
kingdom.

The immediate questions for which answers will be sought in South Africa are
whether the king's death will affect the move to give Swaziland Ingwavuma
and Kangwane and whether it will weaken Swaziland's refusal to support ANC
activities.

One of the world's few surviving monarchies, Swaziland is a tranquil
anachronism that works. But a significant ingredient for dissatisfaction with
the system is a lingering nepotism.

Many of the "bright young men" of the Swzai public service are quietly bitter
at being blocked from promotion by superiors who hold their positions because
of their tribal seniority.

Mbabane sources suggest that the resultant frustration has much to do with
drinking during working hours and other abuses by public servants.

Although concessions have been made to the 20th century, the tribal structure
is still entrenched.

It remains to be seen how much Swazi royalty owes its hold on the nation to
the strength of character of the Ngwenyama (lion), King Sobhuza.

He demonstrated clearly that he was absolutely in charge when in 1973, he
renounced the Westminister-style constitution and ruled by decree.

KWELE NOW HEADS 'PROGRESSIVE UNION’

Gaborone DAILY NEWS in English 30 Jul 82 p 1

[Article by Johannes Pilane]

[Text]

cso:

“HARLDY four months after being sacked from

Cabinet, the former Assistant Minister of Local
Government and Lands, Mr Daniel Kangangwani Kwele
Is now leading a new opposition political party - the
Botswana Progressive Union (BPU)

Mr Kwele, who resigned
from the ruling Botswana
Democratic Party (BDP)
following the cabinet sacking,
Is also a former president of
the opposition Botswana
National Front (BNF).

The registration of the BPU,
now the fifth political part In
Botswana was confirmed by
the Ministry of Home Affairs
this week.

Its aims and objectives are
spelt out in a 10-page
constitution.

The other leaders of the party
are Vice President, Mr G.E.
Molake the former Senior
Subordinate tribal authority for
Mahalapye, Chairman, Mr G.G.
Bagwasi, Secretary General, Mr
R.K. Monyatsiwa, and the
Publicity Secretary is Mr M. G.
Sebolao.

The names of the BPU
leadership were released by the

Ministry of Home Affairs.

Briefly, it aims to harness the
natural and human resources of
“our country for the total
economic emancipation of our
country in order to work for the
advancement of our people in all
directions of human
endeavours.”

Inits preamble, the BPU states
that it was convinced that the
party in power has become

4700/1766

politically bankrupt and
incapable of formulating policies,
which can provide, relevant
solutions to Botswana political,
economic and social problems.

It adds that the survival of the
nation was to stake, and
condition for peace and
tranquility within the Republic
were becoming highly con-
taminated.

The alternative, it is stated in
the preamble was to establish “a
vigorous political vanguard to
offer an alternative government,

to prevent the situation from
further deterioration.”
Other aims and objects of the

-new party are:

w.to provide for a system of
education relevant to our needs
but with due regard to freedom
of conscience and the prevention
of human wastage.

..to work for the creation of
ideal conditions for peace and
social progress by tirelessly and
constantly endéavouring to
eliminate inter-tribal mis-
understandings which have
hitherto bstructed the total unity
f our people.

to work with other nations
and organisations for the
abolition of racial oppression,
imperialism and its twin
instruments of colonialism and
neocolonialism.”

The BPU also aims to adjust
the exhibiting political and
economic institutions in order to.
render them capable of
sustaining the burden of
independence.

Some of the institutions which
will be changed by the BPU
include the House of Chiefs.

The house will be restructured
and modernised to suit “the

prevailing conditions rather than
to symbolise a museum of
antiquity.”

Under the BPU, the local
administration agencies (district
councils, tribal administration
and tribal land boards) will be
amalgamated to form an
‘amalgum which could be referred
to as local government.

The motto of the party is
“Peace - Kagiso, Social Progress
- Tswelelopele.’

The BPU will be officially
launched with a political rally at
Mahalapye at which everyone is.
invited on Saturday August 7th.

A source close to the party
said it was expected that Mr
Kwele will deliver his first
Presidential speech which is
expected to reveal ideological
base and direction. BOPA

MUSLIM GROUP URGED TO PREVENT VIOLENCE, RECONCILE MUSLIM GROUPS

Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 9 Aug 82 p 16

[Text]

cso:

THE Jama’ atul Nasril Istam
(JN!) has been urged to find a
way to put an end to the per-
sistent clashes between the
Izala_ and Darika muslim
groups.

The Kaduna State Gover-
nor, Alhaji Abba Musa Rimi,
made the appeal in a goodwill
message to the meeting of the
JNI which opened in Kaduna
at the weekend. -

‘The address was read on his
behalf by the JNI Secretary-
General, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki,
Baraden Sokoto. .

Alhaji Abba: said this unfor-
tunate development in the
behaviour of muslims was not on-
ly a threat to peace but also a
ridicule of the Islamic communi-
ty in the “ eyes of other Nigerians
who had succeeded in conducting
their religious activities

cefully inspite of their dif-
Rrences.

The governor expressed
dismay at violent clashes among
muslim brothers in the past mon-
ths and added “‘that the pity of it
all is that many of those involved
did not understand what they
were actually fighting for and
those who led them into it were
never caught.”’ :

The commonest causes of
‘unrest, he said, had been, the
widespread use of abusive
language, the forced exclusion of
‘one group from certain places of
worship, removal of Imams and

4700/1758

constant disputes over land for
mosque building purposes.

Alhaji Abba said the govern-
ment had tried to contain all the
incidents but advised that unless
the JNI intervened urgently and
effectively, there was the
possibility “that the situation
might get out of control which
would allow the crooks and
criminals to further their ac-
tivities under the guise of
religious freedom.

Speaking earlier, the Shehu of
Borno, Alhaji Mustapha Umar
El-Kanemi, who presided over
the meeting of the council dispell-
ed the rumour that the JNI was
maintaining close links with the
Tzala sect. . °

He explained that the JNI was
created to propagate the cause of
Islam and therefore, for all
muslims.

He advised that the main objec-
tive of the council was to ensure
that peace and unity reigned
supreme among the muslims and
urged vatious religious sects to
help achieve this goal.
~ Alhaji Mustapha El-Kanemi
also appealed to all eligible
voters in the country to turn out
and register during the forthcom-
ing registration of voters.

The meeting was attended by
traditional rulers including the
emirs of Daura, Zaria, Gwandu,
Katsina, Kano, Etsu. Nupe, Etsu
Pategi and leading muslim
scholars. .

PEOPLE WARNED NOT TO EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM SADCC

Gaborone DAILY NEWS in English 30 Jul 82 p 2

[Editorial]

[Text]

cso:

GABORONE was a
remarkable venue for last
week's summit of the Southern
African Development Co-
ordination Conference,
SADCC.

Being next doorto Pretoria,
virtually everything that was
either consumed or used at
the summit, came from
apartheld South Africa

This did not go unnoticed.
Detractors of SADCC
sniggered over this fact. But
progressive-thinking persons
noted that the venue helped
to underline the basic
philosophy of SADCC. This
Is that the future development
of the majority-ruled states
of Southern Africa must alm
at the reduction of economic
dependence, not only on the
apartheld South, but also on
any single state or group of
states.

Southern Africa Is at
present, dependent on the
Republic of South Africa a:
focus of transport and
communications, an exporter
of goods and services and as
Importer of goods and cheap
labour.

The nine-member states of
SADCC - Angola, Botswana,
Lesotho, Malawi, Mozam-
bique, Swaziland, Tanzania,
Zambia and Zimbabwe - were
In varying degrees, dell-
berately Incorporated by

4700/1766

metropolitan powers, colontal
rulers and large corporations
Into the colonial and sub-
colonial rulers and large
corporations Into the colonial
and sub-colonial structures
centring in general, on the
Republic of South Africa.

The development of
national economics as
balanced units, let alone the
welfare of the people of
Southern Africa, played no
part In the economic In-
tegration strategy.

Its not surprising therefore,
that southern Africa is today
fragmented, grossly exploited
and countries like Botswana
subjected to an unhealthy
dependency on the
apartheld-ruled Republic.

Last week's summit afforded
the leaders of Southern
Africa's majority-ruled states
to review the progress of
SADCC projects, almed at
lessening this dependency
since SADCC was formed
three years ago.

From all accounts, the
summit was a success. The
leaders expressed satisfaction
at the rate of progress in the
formulation and imple-
mention of projects, most
noticeably transport and
communications.

For example, of one
hundred and six projects,
three have been completed,
forty-elght are being
Implemented and others are
‘on the drawing board.

tn addition, from the almost
‘one billion US dollars pledged

by donor countrie:
agencies, eight hundr
seventy million dollars worth
has been committed to the
projects In the transport and
communications sectors. And
the fact that the tota! funds
committed to projects In this
sector now exceed the
amount pledged at the
japuto Conference In 1980,
is another indicator that the
struggle for economic
IIberation Is beginning to
make headway. Other donors
have given afirm commitment
to assist, and In addition,
SADCC's permanent Se-
cretarlat will soon become
operational in Gaborone.
These are praiseworthy
achlevements. But while every
Motswana Is proud to be
ociated with them,
Batswana should be careful
not to develop a crisis of
expectation over SADCC
activities.

Batswana must not allow
themselves to expect that
SADCC will rescue them trom
all the country’s economic
ills, like manna pouring down
trom heaven.

The Southern African
Development Coordination
Conference, Is after all, a

deployed. It could provide Pretoria with a pretext for
refusing to go through with implementation on the
grounds of SWAPO violations of the truce.

Other elements of the settlement do however appear

to have fallen into place. The impartiality issue has been
resolved (AC Vol 23 No 13). It has also been accepted
that a small part of the UNTAG force will be deployed
in Angola and Zambia to ensure the restriction of armed
SWAPO personnel there to base. The unwieldy
Demilitarised Zone concept has been dropped — another
concession by Angola, whose late president Agostinho
Neto first proposed it in 1979. A comprehensive step-by-

reduction of South African troops in Namibia was first
worked-out by the UN secretariat and South African

cso:

near Bulawayo and the disappea-

told The Gazette this week that
hotels not only in the affected

Both the Zimbabwean public,

Hoteliers are especially concerned
about the forthcoming August

the industry is worried that ‘the

strained during these’ important

Also of great concern is the ef-
fect the situation is having over-
seas, where there have been inci-
dents of serious misreporting and
several sensational stories which
were completely untrue.

The Spanish, for example, have
been told that a civil war is raging

tial fright”’ dissipated, there were
many _re-bookings. _ National”
Parks’ camps are ‘‘not quite fully
booked” for the holiday period, he
said.

Mr Moore confirmed that simil-
ar cancellations have been received
from a number of countries, but
said that this had been only for
reservations for the next month or
so, indicating only a short-term
worry about security which the
tourists expect the Government to
rectify in time, Mr Moore said that
there have been no cancellations

for periods beyond the next few
months.

At least for the local population,
the effects of the present #tuation
are almost exclusively localised to
the Inyanga district and the area
around Victoria Falls. Ironically,
said Mr Moore, although the kid-
napping incident took place closer
to Bulawayo than the Falls,
attention had been focused on the
Victoria Falls road, and this had
led to cancellations- He. pointed
out that there is nothing at all
wrong with air links to the resort.

For overseas people, on the
other hand, it is the entire country
that is affected, again the result of
irresponsible reporting. Mr Moore
said that an incident in which a
receptionist at a Victoria Falls
hotel was shot, has been linked by.
the overseas press with the k
napping, as further proof that a
wide-spread revolution against the
Zimbabwe Government is taking
place.

_ In fact, said Mr Moore, the
receptionist was shot during a
totally unrelated armed robbery.

‘Mr Moore said that he had been
assured by security authorities ‘‘at
the highest level”? that there is no
reason for other tourists to be
concerned. They advised alll travel-
lers to take normal precautions,
such as not driving after dark.

The damage to Zimbabwe's
tourist industry, said Mr Moore, is
immediate and short term. He said
he supported the Minister of
Tourism, Mrs Chitepo, when she
said that Zimbabwe's reputation as
a tourist country should not be
greatly affected in the long term.

“People tend to have short
memories,”’ he said, and the sitia-
tion would be enormously helped
by Government assurances that the
incidents have been taken care of.

Mr Moore is in very close
contact with the Government de-
Partments concerned, and he is
confident that such assurances will
be made shortly.

GUINEA

TOURE TRYING TO CONVINCE WEST HE IS NO LONGER IN RADICAL LEADERS' CAMP

London AFRICA CONFIDENTIAL in English No 16, 4 Aug 82 pp 7, 8

[Text]

President Ahmed Sékou Touré, doyen of African
heads of state, has his sights squarely set on the OAU
summit conference scheduled to take place next year in
Conakry. Not least it may smooth some misgivings over
the unexplained disappearance in Guinea some years back
of retired OAU secretary-general Diallo Telli. Then Touré
is keen to host the 1985 summit meeting of the “non-
aligned” group of nations. In any case, work is
going forward on the infrastructure needed to host the
affair. A lavish Cité de I’OUA, including 50 villas to
house African leaders, a congress centre and new hotels,
are being built, and most of Conakry, a backwater town
which has hardly been developed since independence, is
to get a thorough facelift. Great efforts are being made
to ensure that electricity supply functions without
interruption and that the water supply is plentiful. A
new telecommunications system is also to be installed.

Much of the funds involved for the refurbishing of
Conakry come from Arab donors (AC Vol 22 No 17).
Touré continues to stress Guinea’s Islamic tradition in
order to woo Arab Gulf states, where he has been a
regular visitor over the past few years. He is a member
of the Islamic Commission’s Jerusalem Committee and
recently allowed a Saudi-funded bank, Dar al Maal al
Islami (the House of Islamic Funds) to be the first
private banking institution to set up shop in Guinea.
Touré has even encouraged the establishment of Islamic
committees in villages, as much to counter the local
branches of the sole political formation, le Parti
Démocratique Guinéen (PDG), as to propagate the
prophet’s faith.

Touré, who also refers to himself as the Guide
Supréme de la Révolution, has not ignored the west in
the drive to restore his image abroad and convince all
that he is no longer in the camp of radical African
leaders. Once the enfant terrible of the continent he has

been in the “moderate” camp since the mid-1970s. Like
conservative Ivory Coast, Zaire, Senegal and Gabon, he
fully supports Morocco’s cause in the Western Sahara
against Algerian-backed Polisario. Touré is an African
nationalist of the older generation, and is ideologically
far from the “Marxist-Leninist” regimes which have
emerged in Ethiopia, Angola and Mozambique. If he
still like to give the verbal stick to “imperialism”, he
has no qualms about opening the door to western multi-
nationals to exploit the country’s immense mineral
wealth. The bauxite industry, which accounts for some
95% of export revenues and a third of gross domestic
product is firmly in the hands of foreign interest: the
Friguia consortium is composed of American, French
and British firms, the Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée
is dominated by the Halco consortium of American,
French, Canadian, Italian and West German companies,
and les Bauxites de Kindia is a Soviet affair.

Now Touré is wooing American and European banks
and governments to invest in second-generation bauxite
mining schemes as well as an iron ore mining venture.
The capital expenditure is so great for power generating
facilities, ports, railroads and mining equipment that
most backers have got cold feet. A serious blow to
Guinea’s development plans for the Mifergui-Nimba
iron ore deposit was the recent Common Market
decision to back financially a competing scheme in
Brazil. The Nimba mine project, potentially the largest
in Africa, will probably have to be shelved, as the out-
look for iron ore consumption is not promising during
the next decade. The future of new bauxite mines and
an aluminium plant are also in doubt. The country’s
foreign debt is approaching $1.5 bn. and private banking
institutions are reluctant to boost their exposure in the
country, despite the New York conference and recep-
tion organised in early July by David Rockefeller and

TEMKE PEASANTS ASK GOVERNMENT TO CONSTRUCT FEEDER ROADS

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 9 Aug 82 p 1

{Article by Attilio Tagalile and Rose Kalemera]

(Excerpt]

PEASANTS in Dar es

{Salaam’s Temeke District

have called on the govern-
ment to construct feeder
roads in the district to
smoothen transportation of
agricultural produce.

The call was made through
a message to the CCM Chief
Executive Secretary, Ndugu
Daudi Mwakawago at yester-
day’s climax of the second
siasa ni kilimo competition
at Tumaini village.

Kimbiji division was cited
for illustration, as having fer-
tile villages which were inac-
cessible during rains.

Replying to the message,
Ndugu Mwakawago observed

that good feeder roads would
be meaningless if they were
not adequately used. He
called on the peasants to
make use of animi-drawn
carts for transporting ‘’‘.ir
produce instead of depending
on vehicles which were ex-
pensive to run.

CSO: 4700/1761

Earlier, the Dar es Salaam
Regional Party Secretary,
Ndugu Ibrahim Kajembo,
assured the peasants that ef-
forts were underway to con-
struct feeder roads and
bridges in the district.

He said by the end of the
year, all roads traversing the
district would be completed.
On durable houses, Ndugu
Kajembo said the ministry of
Lands, Housing and Urban
Development was presently

conducting a study on
possible utilization of local
building materials for ten
villages in the district.

UNIONS HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT NEW REGULATIONS

Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 19 Aug 82 p 6

[Article by Joshua Raboroko]

[Text] \1OST trade unions have mixed feelings about the dramatic streamlining
of mechanisms for settling labour disputes as announced by the Minister
of Manpower, Mr Fanie Botha.

cso:

According to the draft
abour Relations
smendment Bill . pub-
shed last week. existing
cgislation would be
mended so as to:
© Allow labour organi-
sations, including unre-
istered unions and em-
loyee organisations.
.ccess to the machinery
or settling disputes:
© Speed up the concilia-
n process,
* Give the president of

tion of court decisions
Fosatu’s spokesman.
Mr Chris Dlamini. has
expressed his reserva-
tions about the propo-

tween management and
workers and are not in-

4700/1784

terested in this type_of
machinery brought from
outside.

~The only type of
machinery we are inter-
ested in is that set up by
the workers and man-
agement themselves.

He fears that manage-
ments could use this
outside machinery to
their advantage. and
said that only a mediator
elected by the workers
would be trusted by
them.

Referring to the In-
dustrial Court. he said
that it was not his
union’s aim to take their
cases there. and “we are
not really interested in
changes to its work-
ings.”

The new machinery
might eventually prove
itself acceptable. but he
remained suspicious of it
at this stage. °

However, the Bill ha
drawn a positive re-
sponse from the general
secretary. fo the Trade
Union Council of South
Africa (Tucsa), Mr Ar-
thur Grobbelaar.

He said that the idea
of speeding up.the con-
ciliation machinery and
of extending the provi-
sions to include unregis-
tered unions was neces-
sary.

Mwasa’s acting presi-
dent. Mr Goba Ndlovu.
said that it would appear
that stricter labour laws
were in the pipeline.
The Government is
going to force unions to
make use of industrial
councils. he said.

“We do not see our-
selves working with the
Industrial Council.
Mwasa has an arbitrator
in case of deadlock with
management and we do
not have a conciliation
board.” he said.

Meanwhile. numer-
ous strikes and labour
disputes have been re-
ported in the country.
despite the proposed
Bill's aim to settle la-
bour disputes.

FRANCE OPENS OFFICES IN GABORONE

Gaborone DAILY NEWS in English 16 Jul 82 p 1

[Article by Bapasi Mphusu]

[Text]

cso:

THE RELATIONSHIP between
Botswana and France were boosted
on Wednesday evening with the
opening of France's Trade
Commission and Consultate offices
and Alliance Francaise in Gaborone.

President Dr Q.K.J. Masire has
also been invited to visit France by
President Francois Mitterrand. It is
not yet known when Dr Masire will
undertake the state visit.

Alongside these, the French
Ambassador to Botswana, Mr Jacques
Gasseau has announced that his
government was to give Botswana
some 2,000 tonnes of wheat for the
Drought Relief Programme. The
consignment will arrive in Botswana
in the near future. No definite date
has been announced.

The French Trade Commission and
Consultate offices are on the second
floor of the Gaborone Hardware -

right in the heart of Gaborone Mall.

The inauguration of the French
Trade Commission and Consulate
service coincided with the celebrations
of France's national day - which was
celebrated in Botswana for the first
time on July 14 at the President
Hotel.

Speaking at the opening ceremony
the French Ambassador, who is based
in Lusaka Mr Gasseau stressed the
importance of establishing strong
relationships with Botswana by
opening an embassy in Gaborone.

He said: “It proved very difficult
to establish bilateral relations while I
could only come from time to time,
travelling from Lusaka, a two and a

4700/1766

half day drive away, or a five hour
flight away, with only three weekly
flights.”

Mr Gasseau pointed out that the
small French community felt
abandoned and the Botswana

authorities could not make suitable
arrangements before their departure
for France, due to the non-existence
of a consulate.

He said that beyond these bilateral
relations, Botswana's specific position
within the Frontline States whilst
politically, as well as geographically
land-locked and due to its crucial
role within the SADCC, and France's
more and more active presence in the
contact group, the opening of the
Franco-African dialoque to non-
French-speaking countries warranted
that France should be represented
directly in Botswana not from a
neighbouring country.

The Minister of External Affairs
Mr Archie Mogwe spoke in French
when he was invited to speak at the
reception marking both the French
national Day and the opening of the
Trade and Consular mission.

He said that France had remained

the only permanent member of the
United Nations Security Council
without a resident mission in
Gaborone.

Despite this shortcoming, bilateral
political, economic and technical
relations between France and
Botswana continued to grow to the
advantage of the two countries and
peoples, Mr Mogwe said.

He added: ‘I have always thought
that if France had a resident mission
in Gaborone these relations could be
‘more fruitfully strengthened.”

The French Government has now
opened a Trade and Consular mission
as a first step to establish a resident
diplomatic mission, said Mr Mogwe.
He expressed the hope that a full
fledged chancery would be opened in
the not too distant future

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE URGES GOVERNMENT STREAMLINE SYSTEM

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 12 Aug 82 p 3

[Text]

cso:

STAFF REPORTER
- SWA should scrap
the second-tier system of
government and keep
government in general to
a minimum.

This is the view of
leading Windhoek businés-
sman and member of the
Chamber of Commerce &
Industry, Mr Larry Krit-
“zinger.

He was addressing the
Socio-economic conference
in Windhoek yesterday on
behalf of the Chamber.

“We feel strongly that
the country cannot afford
either politically or finan-
cially, the present system
of second-tier govern-
ment’s” he said.

“The rumours of mis-
management, poor record-
keeping and corruption are
frightening to say the least.
The whole system of
government must be
simplified and streamlined.
‘The Chairman of the
Ministers’ Council, Mr
Mudge, has gone on record
that his policy is one of
‘minimum —_ government’.
We heartily agree with
those sentiments and look
forward to the earliest pos-
sible realisation thereof,”
he said.

“Like the rest of the

4700/1768

private sector and no
doubt the State. itself, we
are disappointed with the
1982 Budget. We warned
in 1981 that we were living
above our means and now
we have to pay the price.
The cost of government,
together with the exorbi-
tant drought subsidies
granted to farmers, have
cost us dearly.”

Turning to taxation, Mr
Kritzinger said that in
general the new tax laws
were condusive to long
term investment, but the
Chamber of Commerce
and Industry was disap-
pointed that the State saw
fit to levy the five percent
and 10 percent surcharges
on company and personal
taxation so soon after the
previous rates were an-
nounced.

“Actions such as these
confirm the suspicions in
the minds of the: private
sector that tax rates will
continue to _ increase,
whereas it should be
Government’s stated
policy to keep reducing tax
rates to lower and lower
levels to encourage
enterpreneur savings and
so. create development
capital,” he said.

“The surcharges are
even less justifiable when it
is considered that they will
produce merely Rim for

24

the Central Government
revenue and R4m for the
second-tier | government
(which has the least need
for it.)

“The Chamber's
members are disappointed
that there are no fiscal
measures to encourage
education, training and ex-
ports.

“In order to keep our tax
laws simple, we are of the
opinion that such measures
should: be the preserve of
the department concerned.
We would therefore like to
see the Department of
National Education
granting subsidies’ to
worthy training and educa-
tion schemes embarked on
by the private sector, in-
cluding the mining in-
dustry.

“Similarly, the Depart-
ment of Economic Affairs
must be geared to stimulate
exports by granting cash
allowances in appropriate
cases,” he said.

SOBUKWE 'OUT OF CIRCULATION'--The late Robert Sobukwe, former head of the banned
Pan-Africanist Congress, was "out of circulation" and was either dead or in deten-
tion, a member of the Security Police said in court last week. This was said by
Warrant Officer B Bezuidenhout, a Security Police investigating officer in a ter-
rorism trial in Zwelitsha. The two accused in the trial are Miss Jane Ntsathe

(25) and Mr Laurence Peter (21) who are charged with participating in terrorist
activities. Mr Peter is also charged with trying to leave the country illegally.
They have pleaded not guilty to all charges. The State alleges they incited people
to join the ANC, recruited them to undergo military training, for being office
bearers of the ANC, that they distributed ANC propaganda and were in possession

of banned publications. Under cross-examination by defence counsel, Mr T K
Moerane, Warrant Officer Bezuidenhout told the court he was not an authority on
African National Congress activities. He told the court that in November last year
he and some other members of the Security Police searched Miss Ntsathe's house
where they found ANC and PAC material. Asked if he was sure Sobukwe was in deten-
tion, Warrant Officer Bezuidenhout said he was not sure as Sobukwe was out of
circulation. He presumed he was dead. The trial continues today. [Text]

SWAZILAND

LAND DEAL ADVOCATES TO DECIDE KING'S SUCCESSOR
MB250845 South Africa RAND DAILY MAIL in English 25 Aug 82 p 3
[By Patrick Laurence, southern Africa editor]

[Text] Mbabane--Four top Swaziland politicians in favour of incorporation of
Kangwane and Ingwavuma into Swaziland will play an important role in choosing
the successor to King Sobhuza II of Swaziland.

The four politicians are all members of the Liqoqo, or inner council, which
will have a decisive say in the nomination of a successor to King Sobhuza,
who died at the weekend. They are Mr R.V. Dlamini, Swaziland's foreign
minister and a vocal proponent of incorporation; Dr S.S. Nxumalo, Swaziland's
roving ambassador; Dr George Msibi, an advisor to the late king; and Mr P.M.
Dlamini, minister of justice and the longest standing member of the Swazi
Cabinet.

The exact composition of the Liqoqo is not known but it is the supreme policy
making body in Swaziland. Its influence is rated above that of the Swaziland
National Council, the Swaziland Parliament and, according to some observers,
even the Swaziland Cabinet itself.

The question of who will succeed King Sobhuza remained a matter of speculation
yesterday. King Sobhuza is said to have sired about 400 sons who range in age
from 12 to more than 50.

One salient factor stands out in the complex process leading to the choice of
a successor: the influence of the pro-incorporation lobby will be significant,
if not decisive.

The mystique surrounding the dead king would seem to favour a successor tilted
toward incorporation.

Meanwhile flags, pendants, banners, portraits of King Sobhuza and decorations
were taken down from the streets of Mbabane and Manzini yesterday. They were
put up less than a month ago to commemorate the king's 83rd birthday. Their
removal marked the official start of an indefinite period of mourning. Events
which were cancelled or suspended included the 1982 trade fair, the reed dance
and the hunting dance.

GOVERNMENT TO PROBE TCA DEMAND FOR BRIBES FROM COTTON GROWERS

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 10 Aug 82 p 1

Government 1
investigate jegations that
Tancania Cotton Authority
(ca) officials in Igunga

istrict, Tabora Region, have
been demanding bribes from
cotton growers before delivering
cash for buying the crop.

The investigations would be
led by the Principal Secretary in
the Ministry of Agriculture,
Ndugu David Masanja, who
would be accompanied by the
TCA General Manager,
Ndugu M. Mdope now on a
routine tour of Lake regions.

According to Tanzania News
Agency (SHIHATA) reports
which appeared in a_ local
newspaper on Monday, the TCA.
district officials’ refusal to
release money to village
governments in the area had led
to cotton pile ups in Migongwa,
Jogoya and Imalanguzi villages.

In‘an interview with the Daily
News yesterday, the TCA Acting
General Manager, Ndgu G.
Mpondela, said that they
contacted the Shinyanga Region
TCA Manager, Ndugu Alois
Mtui, — who the
allegations.

fdugu Mpondela said that

Ndugu Mtui, who admitted to
have heard the allegations long
before the press reports on
Monday, travelled to Igunga
District where he discussed the
issue with District Party officials.

According to Ndugu Mtui,
when the TCA Zonal Manager
took the money to Manonga
cotton buying centre, he found

the safe for keeping it had been
taken to a court building far
away from the centre.

Ndugu Mtui is quoted to have
reported that the village cashier
was in possession of the two keys
to the safe, contrary to TCA’s
financial regulations — which
stipulate that the two keys
should be kept by two people.

Under this circumstances,
Ndugu Mpondela said, the zonal
manager decided to go back with
the money. He noted that the
delay could thus be attributed to
financial management
‘technicality’ rather than a move
geared toward soliciting
corruption.

Ndugu Mpondela_ observed
that the Authority did not see
any point of doubting Ndugu
Mtui's explanation that he saw
district Party officials who
agreed with him that the
allegations were false.

le, however, said that owing
to the seriousness of the
allegations “which have also
shocked us”, the Government
would be ‘making its own
investigations on the issue after
which a statement would be
released.

Other allegations’ ~— made
against the Authority were the
regional TCA officials’
reluctance in taking action on the
allegations in spite of feeding
them repeatedly with reports.

The TCA is also blamed tor its
failure to pay the five cents
bonus per kilogramme for grade
‘A’ cotton, a regulation which is
normally applied for cotton sold
in the first four weeks beginning
June 28 when the buying season
started. *

OVERALL FEELING

He told The Gazette: “The
overall feeling, from talking to
people throughout the
industry, is that we are not
looking for loans, even if it has
been difficult to borrow from
the banking sector.

“We have already borrowed
up to the hilt and our problem
now is one of needing subsidy.
The Government may well find
that companies may, in fact,
have to reject this kind of sup-

port, which would be sad.””

In a prepared statement Mr
Lander said the mining sector
was appreciative’ of the
‘gesture’ made by Government
to help firms in ‘severe finan-
cial difficulties’ by- giving: the
$50 million in loan form.

NOT ATTRACTIVE ..

But he. continued: ‘‘Regret-
tably this form of assistance
will not be attractive because it
carries with it extra costs.in the
form of interest and the need to
repay the principle sum in due
course, These constraints may
be regarded as too burdensome
by some organisations.””

The statement also ‘stated:
“The mining industry is. pleas-.
ed to note that the capital
redemption or allowance and
the depletion allowances have
been reinstated, albeit for the
time being.

“ “We are concerned at the
impact on our costs with the in-
creased sales taxes and imports
duties.”

‘With regards to the ‘overall
budget Mr Lander said that,

personally, he felt it was a
ophisticated document which
required careful analysis. “My
major concern is the massive
increase in Government spend-
ing,"” he commented.

Mr Stourton told The
‘Gazette that his company was
negotiating with the Govern-
ment for increases in the price:

nary costs. .

“If we don’t get the increase,

said.

He said the company import-
ed cigarette paper, filters, foil
tissue and other items used in
the manufacture of cigarettes
and the increase in import
duties would mean increased
production costs.

Commenting on the
increases in excise duty on ciga-
rettes, Mr Stourton said his
company was still assessing the
impact of the increases on the
consumers.

Mr Kenneth Gunn,
Managing Director
of Rothmans

AN Increase in the price of
cigarettes is necessary if the
cigarette industry is to remain
viable said the managing direc-
tor of Rothmans, Mr Kenneth
Gunn.

He said the company had
faced rising production costs
and had made an application
for a price increase before the
besinning of this year, but
however, the increase had not

yet been granted.

“The past costs we had,
coupled with the increase in
import taxes, (announced in
the budget) will hit us most if
the price increase is not grant-
ed,’ Mr Gunn said.

He expected a slowdown in
sales figures for a couple of
months due to the increase in
excise duty for cigarettes.

spending and the resultant 30% in-

will mean'more external and inter-
nal borrowing and an increase in
Infistionary pressures, a banking

The economist told The Gazette
that the amount needed by the
Government ($958m) in increased
expenditure will push the deficit up
by $154m, and though some of the
increases would be covered by in-
ternational aid, the ‘pressures on
the country’s economy would
nevertheless be great, leading the
Government to taking more than
the economy can provide.

NO DETAILS

“There are no details at the
moment on how much the Govern-
ment is going to borrow or from
where the money will come from.
But inevitably there will be exter-
nal borrowing which will in turn
mean more external debts. I also.
think the Government will go for
long-term borrowing from the
public through the Reserve Bank,
and borrowings from the POSB,
he said.

The economist said external bor-
rowing also meant further teduc-
tions in foreign exchange for im-
ports because of the high interest

rates that would have to be paid.
~The result would-be the economy’s
reduced productive capacity,

He said the main problem for
the business sector was the in-
crease in costs. The Government
shad increased the tax on imports to
raise an estimated $74m and this
would mean importers costs would
go up by the same amount. .

The economist predicted a ‘“‘tug-
of-war’”’ situation between manu-
facturers “and distributors, who
wanted to pass these incteaséd
costs onto the consumers, and the
Government, which wanted to
cushion the consumers and encour-
age the manufacturers and distri-"
butors to absorb the costs.

‘The increase in diesel and petrol-

Prices would hit distributors as
they would be required to absorb
the increases. The economist said
distributors could help themselves
cout by increasing charges for the
distribution of services but manu-
facturers could not increase their’
prices because of increased distri-
bution costs.

shave been flocking to the area in droves.

CSO:

Now seven families
live rammed into a
store-room next to the
local Wrab offices —
temporarily — waiting
to be allocated homes.

This has led a member
of the Alexandra Liai-
son Committee The
Reverend Thomas Mo-
lepo to declare that “A-
lexandra is too good for
‘its own good”.

“We can't simply
chase these people
away, but most of them
ido not even ‘qualify’ to
‘be in the area,” Mr Mo-
lepo added.

The Alexandra “hous-
ing frustration” has even
led to a man hanging
himself this week. Mr
Thomas Ndlovu (31),
hanged himself after his
family was evicted from
a stand in the township
and housed at the store-

| room — “temporarily”.
| The SOWETAN went
‘to the store-room to
speak to the families
about their housing
plight. There are seven

+ families who stay in a

hall and who use furni-

‘ture to partition their

“rooms” for privacy. The
store-room is divided by
a wall into two big halls.

The Ndlovu family,
whose son committed
suicide, were evicted
from their landlord's
stand and taken to the
store-room for tempo-
rary accommodation
while their papers are
being processed. The
family has been in the
store-room since March.

Mrs Josephine Nd-
lovu. the mother, said
they were taken to the
store-room after they
had been out on the
streets for two weeks.
She had been in Alexan-
dra since 1948.

Mrs Mildred Mohla-
lane, who is also stay-
ing in the store-room
“next door” to the Ndlo-
vu's. was also promised
a house.

Mrs Mobhlalane said

since 1942 her parents
had a house in the town-
ship. She then went to
stay at the Alexandra
Women's Hostel and
her parents died. She
now stays in the store-
room with her son
Lucky (22). who used to
sleep in the other parti-
tion with the now dead
man. Mrs Mohlalane
said she had been wait-
ing for a house since be-
ing offered this tempo-
rary accommodation in
April.

Other families. in-
cluding those of Mrs Eli-

Evelyn Mohlala were
“kicked out” by whites
from Witkoppen and
brought to the promised
land — Alexandra.
They also ended up in
the store-room. waiting
and hoping for a house.

Mr Molepo said there
had been a large influx
of people into Alexan-
dra since the 1979 re-
prieve. People who were
resettled in Tembisa.

“And we are accept-

9. President Chon explained the efforts of the Korean Government in promoting
cooperative relations among the developing countries and in particular the
role played by the Republic of Korea as a member of the African Development
Fund, aimed at participating in the economic and social development of the
African states.

In this context, he expressed his hope that Korea would become a member of the
African Development Bank in the near future, thus making greater financial
contribution and further strengthening the existing cooperation between Korea
and the African continent.

10. The two presidents expressed their shared conviction that cooperation
between the developing countries must be accorded as much importance as the
cooperation between developing countries and developed country.

They further concurred that the two countries should share the experiences
acquired in the course of their respective economic development, thereby,
enhancing the existing economic ties. In this context, the two presidents
agreed to broaden and accelerate technical and economic cooperation in the
fields of education, agriculture, livestock industry, fishing, manufacturing
industry, health, tourism, science and technology through the exchange of
experts and technicians.

The two presidents agreed on the need to further promote the expansion of trade
between the two countries and emphasized the importance of promoting joint ven-
tures between Kenyan and Korean private investors.

They also agreed on the need to maintain regular official consultations on
cooperation activities and exploration of further areas of cooperation,

1l. The Kenyan president extended his congratulations to the President of Korea
on the designation of Seoul as the venue for the 1988 Olympic Games and assured
of Kenya intention to participate in the games.

President Chon reiterated his country's desire to promote understanding and

SENEGAL

BRIEFS

ENERGY SELF-SUFFICIENCY--The government's target is to reduce oil imports by
half and to become self-sufficient in energy by the year 2000. Intensive re-
search is being carried out throughout the country, despite uncertainties as to
our energy resource potential. The results have been disappointing, but it is
not certain that they are correct. Up to now, only one thing has been certain:
the Diamniadio gas that is now being used in the Cap des Biches turbine. Since
its economy is largely dependent on oil, Senegal has given priority to research
on black gold. Prospecting permits were granted to international companies un-
til Petrosen got on its feet. This "oil" option does not in any way prevent
the pursuit of research on other resources, such as peat, lignite, gas, wood
and new or renewable energy resources. This is an ambitious program that re-
quires an investment of some 332 billion CFA francs, at the rate of 25 billion
a year for 18 years. These are enormous expenditures for high stakes, which
can be won if the political will is there and if lenders follow suit. [Text]

"BIASED' NEWSMEN ATTACKED

Mbabane THE TIMES OF SWAZILAND in English 9 Aug 82 p 3

[Articles by James Dlamini]

[Text]

AFRICAN leaders regard
journalism as a controver-
sial field,and journalists as
merciless rumourmongerers
who need to be tamed.

The head of the Civil Ser-
vice, Mr. Shadrack Siba-
nyoni, underlined this view
in no uncertain terms when
addressing journalists at
SCOT last week.

Mr. Sibanyoni described
discussions on journalism
as “difficult and controver-
sial’’ in his opening lines.
While appreciating the role
the journalist has to play
and his problem in Africa,
Mr Sibanyoni said they
have to toe the line of the
“powers that be.””

“Tam one of those peo-
ple who are critical about
how a journalist presents
his or her material to the
public and what that
material has for the benefit
of the people in their

economic
development.
“1 am here to point out
what I see to be the role of a
journalist in development.”*
He views African jour-
nalists as a “book copy” of
journalists in developed
countries. ‘One notices this
in the style of writing of ar-
ticles, particularly articles
which are politically inclin-
ed. Such writing is never
fair, but mostly biased.
Because of the copied style,

and social

readers read to support the
writer and fail to look at the
writer’s subject matter
critically,” he said.

He said African writers
should create their own
style of writing with the ob-
ject of feeding their readers

factual information.
is would help develop
critical reading in the minds
of their readers. To
scholars, such acceptable
styles would help them to
make those they train to
look, not for information
only, but whether or not the
style of writing is acceptable
to those who are pursuing
scholarastic careers.””

He observed that remote
areas gain a lot by hearing
different types of develop-
ment progress announced
every day through radio,
“and where possible TV
makes it more clearer as
communities are seen doing
their programmes of
development physically,
and for the busy man the
newspaper seals. the
coverage.”

He said he believed jour-
nalists ought to play a role
in the “selling of their
country to the outside
world.” He said people
might not know what is go-
ing on in a particutar
underdeveloped country.
“Journalists, though their
media can portray that

90

country
world.””

He argyed that this pro-
jection would help that
country to get donors for
projects. which may be
social or economnic.
“Journalism, as | see it is a
science to project the good
and the bad created within a
country for the benefit of
that country,” he argued.

He said they should be
there to permeate the whole
social spectrum of a coun-
try to deliver what the or-
dinary person might not be
‘able to get. He would like
them to cover, for example
development projects such
as health community,
development and would not
be in a position to know
what is happening around
them.

“Journalists, therefore
play a role in development
by getting information and
knowledge to people. They
fet the community know
what is going on around
and what there is a com-
munity can achieve if that
community copied the
knowledge of those of bet-
ter advanced areas around
them,”’ he said.

to the outside

“The basic question,
therefore, is how can jour-
nalists better development
in an underdeveloped coun-
try? Journalists who arel
usually a unit in themselves!

need coming together to see
how they can share com-
mon ideas and how those
ideas can be distributed by
through
ion or by
way of newspapers,” he
said.

He continued: “What
has been apparent these
days is the way journalists
work on the feelings of their
readers for journalists
undesirable sensational
ideas. Sensationalism is a
destructive element in
development. In order to
create an atmosphere of
economic and
political harmony for a
developing country, jour-
nalists should avoid
Sgnsationalism.

“An example of this can
be seen in newspapers we

readin Swaziland,
newspapers that have
disregard ofthe

independence of countries.

Those newspapers have
fallen in the hands of the
journalists who are biased
and are prepared to. see
development crumble in a
day.”

He stated that ciriticism
should be constructive and
not destructive. ‘If destruc-
tive, it tends to show that
journalists are people from
outer space and do not
value development.”

If that materialises,

COUP ATTEMPT COULD JEOPARDIZE U. S. RDF
London AFRICA CONFIDENTIAL in English 4

[Text]

With pockets of resistance still being mopped up by
govemment forces four days after the attempted
military coup, it is too early to draw conclusions. But
for at least one week before the attempt it was evident
that a plot existed among sections of the armed forces.
Logically, in order to maximise its chances of success,
the attempt should have begun a week later, when
President Daniel arap Moi would have been in Tripoli
with a contingent of ministers. We understand that this
was in fact the original schedule for the attempt. Why
the attempt was not stopped beforehand is another
question:

At this time it is most unclear as to which airforce
units were actively involved in the plot. Initially it was
reported that the air cavalry battalion formed the core
of rebellion. Kenyan military sources then denied it.
The arrival at Dar-es-Salaam airport of a Kenyan
DHC-5D Buffalo transport aircraft with four Kenyan
soldiers on board initially supported the cir cavalry
thesis: one of the four, according to the Tanzanian
government, was a Col. Odipo, said to be commander
of the air cavalry battalion. Certainly early on Sunday
moming at least two F-5 airforce planes flew over
Nairobi in apparent support of the rebels. Perhaps
significantly no word has yet been heard of Brig. Gen.
Peter Kariuki, airforce commander. By Tuesday it
appeared that the army and the General Service Unit
(GSU) had rounded up and put under arrest all the
airforce personnel they could find. But with rebel
resistance at airforce headquarters at Embakasi (which
is also the army’s aircraft base)and the other bases at
Eastleigh and. Nanyuki, the wholescale involvement of
the airforce began to look increasingly likely.

The execution of the attempted coup was obviously
a shambles. That would support the thesis that it was
almost entirely an NCO and junior rank affair. (About

EFFORTS

six more senior officers have so far been tentatively
nated). Apart from the taking of the radio station,
the brief encirclement of some key buildings, including
State House, and the apparent attacks (including mortar)
on houses of one or two politicians, the strategy for the
attempt is most vague.

Whether any prominent politicians have been hurt or
killed remained unclear for several days. At the first
cabinet meeting, 48 hours after the attempt, we under-
stand that Mwai Kibaki, minister of home affairs,
Munyua Waiyaki, minister of agriculture, Stanley
Oloitipitip, minister of local government, and Titus

Mbathi, minister of labour, were absent.

With reports of some servicemen discarding their
uniforms, it is clear that a military post-mortem will
take several weeks. If indeed the entire airforce was
party to the attempt, or knew of the plan, the govern-
ment has a formidable problem. If the air cavalry batta-
tion, which is dovetailed into the army command, did
play a prominent part, the problem is worse, not least
because traditionally Kenya has maintained fairly
small armed forces. During the Kenyatta era it was
commonly assumed that the paramilitary GSU (about
2,000 men) by itself could cut gun the army. That may
no longer the the case. But the total strength of the
army is still only 12,000, compared to the airforce
strength of just over 2,000.

The US response to the affair will wait until a solid
account of events emerges. With the US Rapid Deploy-
ment Force (RDF) bases in Africa nearly all looking
shaky, the Pentagon is greatly worried at the more
difficult prospect of safeguarding its RDF agreement
with Kenya, through which it is building up port
facilities at Mombasa and constructing other onshore
facilities. (RDF facilities in Africa consist of those in
Morocco, Somalia, Diego Garcia and Egypt, whose

SLABBERT PLANS TO WIN MORE SEATS

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 17 Aug

{Article by Murray McNally]

[Text] CAPE TOWN. — The

cso:

Progressive _ Federal
Party is aiming for 30
percent’’support from
voters — an increase of

eight percent — to give.
it the balance of power~

in Parliament after the
next Election. .

The party would con-
centrate its resources
on
throughout the coun-
try, the leader of the
-Opposition, Dr F van
Zyl Slabbert, said at a
Press conference in
Cape Town yesterday
when he outlined a new
countrywide campaign
for support.

Dr Slabbert said that
the campaign was being
launched at a time
when, despite the mov-
es by the Government,
it was clear that the
PFP’s support was
holding fast and that it
was evident that the
NRP was withering
away as a political fac”
tor of any significance.

Key queries

He said that during
the campaign drive in
the Cape Province, Na-
tal and Transvaal this
week he would high-
light aspects of the con-
stitutional proposals of
the government which
he found unsatisfacto-

4700/1762

“priority’ seats”

ry and unacceptable. By
posing key questions he
would encourage PFP
supporters to question
the Government on the
proposals.

He would identify
priority seats in each
region and urge sup
porters to concentrate
efforts towards improv-
ing the party’s position
in the next General
Election.

A nation-wide grass-
roots fund-raising cam-
paign would be launch-

Realignment

Dr Slabbert said that
the PFP would mount
stategy to consolidate
its position and to rep-
resent an alternative to
the White electorate.

It was clear that, in
the process of political
realignment, two poles
were beginning to de-
velop in White politics
— those who stood for.
effective reform on the

economic
those who were react-
ing to any reform.

He said that a poll
published by a Sunday
newspaper at the week-
end confirmed that the
government had con-
sistently overrated the
right-wing threat
(something which he
had stated during this
year’s no confidence de-
bate) and that there

56

82 p 2

was far more wide-
spread support for gen-
uine reform amongst
the White electorate
than the government
realised.

‘This should be ex-
ploited to good effect,

he said.

“rhe poll left him with
the overall impression
that there was support

and endorsement for
reform, rather than ac-
ceptance of the Govern-
ment’s constitutional
proposals.

There was a clear
warning to the Govern-
ment that the imple-
mentation of unwork-
able proposals would
lead to a rapid erosion
of support for reform.

Dr Slabbert identi-
fied four seats in the
Western Cape — Dur-
banville, Maitland, Hel-
derberg. and Simons-
town — as target seats
on which the party
would concentrate at
the next general elec-

vthe party would not
“make safe seats safer”
but concentrate on
making marginal seats
winnable and other
seats marginal.

Dr Slabbert said the
PFP would not try to
blackmail the Govern-
ment into implement-
ing its policies should it
succeed in attaining the
Parliamentary balance
of power.

SOUTH AFRICA

He shrugged off any
notions that his party
would become a middle-
of-the-road party be-
tween the Conservati-
ve/HNP factions and
the government.

Keeper. role

The PFP, he -said,
would maintain its view
that it was the keeper
of the balance of power
betweeb Black and
White political power
and he pledged that it
would continue to ar-
ticulate what the coun-
try’s Blacks would view
as real reform.

Dr Slabbert said he
did not want to close
down the constitutional
debate while the gov-
ernment itself admitted
that it was an on-going
process.

“We will be here to
highlight the inad-
equacies in the process
of constitutional
change,” he said.

“We will make con-
structive suggestions
how to improve them
and give greater legiti-
macy to them.

BRIEFS

NO RF SUPPORT--Bulawayo. The failure by the Republican Front to nominate a candi-
date from Bulawayo for the next Senate elections shows lack of support for the party
in the city. This was said by the Deputy Minister of Trade and Commerce, Mr John
Landau, in Bulawayo yesterday. The deputy minister said the RF party had shown
"insensitivity" to Bulawayo by nominating a non-resident Mr Geoff Klucklow, to
represent the city. Mr Landau who sits in Parliament as an independent, said his
colleagues, all of whom defected from the RF, were a "cohesive group who have in-
dependent thinking. They are not committed to any party". He said the independent
candidate for the Senate seat vacated by retiring Air-Marshal Archie Wilson, Mrs
Esmay Scott, was a result of Bulawayo and therefore "an ideal candidate to repre-
sent the opinions of Bulawayo and Matabeleland". [Text] [Harare THE HERALD in Eng-

BONUSES FOR EXPORTERS--Bulawayo. $50 million is to be set aside as bonuses for
Zimbabwean exporters, the Deputy Minister of Trade and Commerce, Mr John Landau
said yesterday, Answering questions after addressing a meeting of the Bulawayo
Chamber of Commerce, Mr Landau said the same sum had been set aside for the mining
industry and a similar figure would in due course be set aside for export incentives.
Asked why a devaluation of the Zimbabwe dollar had not been included in the recent
Budget, he said the only sector which had asked for a devaluation was the mining
industry. "They asked because they thought they would be able to sell more products
if the Zimbabwean dollar was devalued considerably." Many industries were finding
it difficult to export mainly because of the cheap rate of the South African

rand, he said. Asked how importers could be discouraged from importing items which
Zimbabwe did not produce, by the new import surcharge, Mr Landau said the surcharge
was designed to discourage imports, but Zimbabwe had to import because there were
some things it did not make. He reassured members that the Government did not in-
tend to miss out the July-September foreign currency allocation quota period.

"You will get your quotas for this period and the next and you will get your Janu-
ary quota, hopefully, a little earlier," he said. [Text] [Harare THE HERALD in

BUSINESSMEN SPEAK OUT ON NEW BUDGET

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 6 Aug 82 p 6

[Text]

Mr John Robertson
RAL Economist

THE trebled Customs surtax, up
from 5% to 15% for all imports,
will have a serious’ effect on the
commercial and industrial sectors
in Zimbabwe as well as on private
individuals, while increased fuel
costs will mainly affect agriculture,
transport and railway costs.

‘These comments on the budget
were made by Harare economist
Mr John Robertson this week as
significant factors’ which would
affect rising costs in all sectors of
Zimbabwe's economy.

Mr Robertson said that the in-
crease of ic in the price of petrol
(average 1%% increase) was
relatively small and would proba-
bly have to be absorbed although
petrol costs were already high in
Zimbabwe.

However, the 2c increase in die-
sel costs (an. average Sii%
increase) would affect. costs’ for
transport companies, the National
Railways and for all farmers who
were already facing higher -costs
for their fertilisers and insecticides.
These three sectors: used most of
the diesel fuel in the country, he
said.

As far’as the railways was co:
ncerned, it would probably add to
losses already being incurred and
30 would increase the pressures for
increased tariffs which would, in
turn, have a ripple effect on the
entire economy.

But an even more serious impact
in all sectors would be caused by
the increase in Customs surtax for
imports.

“It is not just a 10% increase as
some people have said. It is a
trebling fact or, from 5% tol5%
duty on everything importéd into
this country, on top of which there
will be increased sales tax to be a-
dded to prices,”* said Mr Robert-
son.

“This will affect everyone; from
householders buying imported e-
lectric light bulbs and other items
to commercial, industrial and agr-
cultural sectors feeding motor
spares, machinery, raw materials
and other imported items, unless
they can.claim a rebate for re-
exported goods.””

Mr Robertson said that these in-
creased input costs would in turn
increase pressures on thé prices of
all goods which had any imported
content — and almost everything
did have somewhere along the line
either in manufacture, : trans-
Port, packaging or material.

“VERY SERIOUS’

Regarding the Income Tax sur-
charge he said this would not have
“A very serious” effect on most
people but would affect those
whose skills or abilities were in de-

mand and who were relatively

scarce.
\ “People earning above $35 000
a year will have to pay an. extra
$1 000 or more tax. ‘This will not
make it any.easier to keep the skil-
Ted people we have in the country,”
he said,

“At present expatriates enjoy
terms of employment which are
usually more favourable than the
local skilled people so the extra tax
is not likely.to affect them in com-

KAIZER MOTSA, FAMILY DEPORTED

Mbabane THE SWAZI OBSERVER in English 7 Aug 82 p 1

[Text] THE manager of the Mba-

cso:

bane Tru % Price Store in
Allister Miller Street, Mr
Sindisile Erick Wana,
together with his family,
were deported from Swazi-
land yesterday, the Head of
the CID, Mr Sotsha Dla-
mini, confirmed.

Mr Dlamini said Mr
Wana, known locally as
Kaizer Bongani Motsa, had
been served with a deporta-
tion order after police inve-
stigations on his doubtful
Swazi citizenship had been
concluded and established
that he was a South African
citizen.

Mr Wana was escorted
back to South Africa by
members of the Royal
Swaziland Police through
the Sandlane Border post
before-lunch yesterday.

“Investigations by the
police were opened on Mr
Wana, alias Motsa, a month
ago after his return from
Botswana where he had
been arrested as a suspect
dealer in Mandrax tablets,”
Mr Dlamini said. *

He said Mr Wana retu-
med to Swaziland after
clearance by the Botswana
police before he was due to
appear in court.

Police in Swaziland
discovered that Mr Wana

4700/1765

was illegally using a Swazi
passport obtained under a
false name of Kaiser
Bongani Motsa of Manzini.

Mr Dlamini said police
established that Mr Wana
was born in Kimberly in the
Orange Free State in 1954
and only came to Swaziland
in 1977;

Mr Wana has been
working with his wife at the
Tru % Price Store which
was also illegal, he said.

“His wife comes from
Mafeking and holds a Bo-
phuthatswana _ travelling
document which she had

left at the Sandlane Border

post as the law requires,”
he explained.

After his arrival in Swa-
ziland in 1977, Mr Wana
was employed as a sales-
man by the Ellerines Furni-
ture shop at the Swazi Pla-
za. He later joined the Alli-
ster Miller Street Tru %
Price Store as manager
until his arrest early this
week.

The Swazi Observer inve-
stigating reporter visited
the Wanas’ flat at the Kuye-
hlela Mobeni Estates in

ng and discovered that all
their belongings had been

ATC INCREASES FLIGHT FREQUENCY BY 67 PERCENT
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 5 Aug 82 p 3
[Article by Charles Kizigha]

[Text] Air Tanzania Corporation (ATC) has increased its flight frequency by 67
per cent effective last Sunday following the availability of spare parts and sta-

bilisation of aircraft's maintenance programme, it was said in Dar es Salaam yes-
terday.

ATC General Manager, Bakari Mwapachu said increasing flight frequency meant utili-
sation of aircraft for more hours and this needed to have a stablised maintenance
programme and guaranteed supply of spares.

Ndugu Mwapachu explained that increased frequency did not mean that the airline's
fleet had increased but the availability of spares enabled the engineers to work
on the planes.

The General Manager said that the airline could have done better if lights were
installed in more airports.

He said the 67 per cent increase on the frequency included introduction of new
flights and additional domestic scheduled flights on existing routes.

He said the airline had introduced a Tuesday scheduled flight between Dar es Sa-
laam and Mtwara. Previously, Mtwara was served by the Dar es Salaam/Antananarivo
flight, he said.

He said that the Dar es Salaam/Kilimanjaro/Dar es Salaam flights have been increa~
sed from six to ten in a week. These would be on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays.

The Dar es Salaam/Mwanza flights have been increased from five to seven, and would
be served by Boeing 737, the General Manager said.

He said the Dar es Salaam Zanzibar flights by Fokker Friendship planes have been
increased to 13 in a week--on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
