SLUMP CLOSES FURNACES--ISCOR has shut down one of its Newcastle furnaces and
will put another out of production at the end of this month. The country's
giant iron- and steel-producing corporation has been badly hit by a world-
wide slump in demand for the products. The resulting drop in market prices
has made it unprofitable for some blast furnaces to stay open. Iscor's general
works manager at Newcastle, Mr Hans van Vuuren, confirmed yesterday that one
blast furnace had already been shut and another, leased to Samancor for the
production of ferro-mangagese, would close at the end of this month. Both
will stay closed indefinitely. Management is also considering closing one
ancilliary plant soon and the third of Iscor's four Newcastle blast furnaces
might also go out of action. "The economic situation has really hit us badly,
particularly in the past few months," Mr Van Vuuren said. The market started
slumping at the beginning of the year and it's just been getting worse and
worse. There comes a point when plants simply have to be shut two maintain

a semblance of profitability." Mr Van Vuuren said local iron and steel needs
would still be met by Newcastle. There were enough stocks of both steel and
pig iron at the centre to keep production stable. The closures had not af-
fected staff, he stressed. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 17 Aug

MOZAMBIQUE

REPORTAGE ON ELECTRICITY LINES EXTENSION
Limpopo Line Project
Beira DIARIO DE MOCAMBIQUE in Portuguese 19 Aug 82 p 4

[Text] Drafting of the definitive design for the 110-kilovolt power
transmission network that will connect Maputo to Chokwe, Xai-Xai and
Massingir will be completed by the end of this year.

According to a reliable source, its main purpose is to electrify the valleys
of the Incomati and Limpopo rivers with power originating at the Massinger
hydroelectric plant.

The overall cost of the project has not yet been fully determined since it
will depend on the technical solutions to be adopted on the basis of the

design drawn up. However, it is envisaged that it will be around 800 million
meticals.

The increasing demands for electric power to supply pumping stations for
irrigation, particularly in the Chokwe, Xai-Xai and Massingir regions, led
to facing the problem of creating an energy infrastructure in the southern
region of the country. Construction of this network will make it possible
to connect Maputo with Massingir, thus utilizing the hydroelectric energy
existing there and appreciably improving the quality of service.

The design for the lines and the substations is being drawn up by the
Agrocomplekt Enterprise of the People's Republic of Bulgaria and is expected
to be completed in September and December of this year.

At the same time, the definitive design for the Massingir hydroelectric plant
and associated substation to connect to the 110-kilovolt network is almost
completed.

When finished, this power plant will be equipped with three generator groups
of 20 megawatts each. In the first phase, only two groups will be installed.

The energy produced at this hydroelectric plant will be transmitted to the
Lionde and Xai-Xai substations.

The definitive design is being drawn up by the Portuguese Consulting Company
(COBA), and is expected to be delivered to Mozambique Electric soon.

GUINEA

RELATIONS WITH FRANCE ASSESSED ON EVE OF SEKOU TOURE VISIT

London WEST AFRICA in English No 3547, 13 Sep 82 p 2328

[Text]

cso

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that President
Sekou Touré is finally to make his long
awaited visit to Paris on September 16 and
17 is at the very least of historical signifi-
cance. For this will be his first ever visit to
the French capital in all the years since
Guinea pronounced its famous “no” in de
Gaulle’s referendum of September 1958,
24 years ago. this month.

Relations between France and its former
West African colony. have been difficult
ever since that famous event. In the 1960s
there was a period of open hostility, when
broken diplomatic relations were followed
by charges that de Gaulle’s France was
engaging in systematic destabilisation. The
total cut-off of aid and other relations by
France helped drive Guinea into a corner,
and its economy (potentially one of the
richest. in West Africa) into a disastrous
situation.

Slowly, in the 1970s, Guinea has worked
its way out of its isolation, and, especially
with the help of a few sympathetic friends in
the West, obtained the investment and the
openings needed to develop its minerals.
Although insisting on its non-alignment,
the shift in Guinea’s international position
has become more and more apparent,
especially this year, when we were treated
to the unlikely spectacle of the erstwhile
extreme radical Touré consorting with the

4700/1953

il

ultra-conservative Reagan, during the for-
mer’s official visit to Washington.

France has been much slower. to benefit
from Guinea’s opening to the West. Presi-
dent Giscard, in power in the mid-70s saw
the opportunity and went on a visit there
himself, but the visit was never recipro-
cated, partly because of the Guinea presi-
dent’s fears for his own security, due to the
large number of opponents resident in
France. Relations with Francois Mitter-
rand, excellent during the 1960s became
bitter in the late 1970s because of the
human rights issue, which the French
Socialist leader belatedly took up
(although the major complaints against
Sekou Touré date back to the days when
the Mitterand-Touré honeymoon was at
its height). Thus, when Mitterrand came to
power, where other African socialists re-
joiced, the Guinea President found himself
alongside Mobutu and others, nostalgic for
the non-socialist Giscard. The anti-Touré
campaigns, such as those of the wives of
Guineans who have disappeared, are likely
to receive much: publicity during the visit.
But, as with France’s view of President
Mobutu, “reasons of state” in this case
benefiting from Guinea’s mineral bonan-
Za, seem uppermost. Alas, socialist solidar-
ity has little to do with it.



A report from Zanzibar had earlier blamed fuel suppliers in Dar es Salaam for
delaying oil supplies, saying that it took too many days for the suppliers
to deliver the fuel. The suppliers mentioned were Agip Tanzania Limited,
and BP Tanzania.

But the Managing Director of Agip has said that his company does not supply
fuel to Zanzibar as such.

He said his firm only supplied fuel to the Zanzibar Government Shipping Com-
pany (Zagoshico), and there were no outstanding orders fo the company.

He said his company had enough stock for suppying Zagoshico with all their
requirements.

In an interview with Staff Reporter Attilio Tagalile in Zanzibar, the Zanzibar
Shipping Agencies Operations Manager, Ndugu Jabir Mwalimu cited a recent example
of a vessel despatched to collect fuel from Dar es Salaam last week, Thursday
and reported that the ship had not been loaded until a week later.

The ship, he said on Tuesday, was expected to have returned to Zanzibar on
Wednesday.

The manager said despite the fact that the two tankers belonging to the Zanzi-
bar Government were undergoing repairs outside the country their absence should
not have been felt that much. The tankers, with a capacity of 3,000 tonnes,
sailed away two months ago for repairs.

However, he said efforts were being made to provide vessels for carrying fuel.
Under the emergency fuel operations three vessels have been detailed for the
task.

According to Ndugu Mwalimu, at least two of the vessels have been hauling be-
tween 200 and 300 drums of fuel.

Because of fuel shortage, some supplies have landed into the hands of unscrupu-
lous racketeers who reportedly sell it at 250/- per five litres, occasioning
a steep rise in taxi charges--from 20/- to over 50/- per trip within the town.

The Zanzibar government has already warned that it would severely punish those
found racketeering in petroleum and its products.

Mr Chris Heunis, Minis-

possible so ‘‘that lost time

questioning the Govern.
ment’s three-tier system
on the basis that Muslims

result that one person
could not be a member of
two power-bearing bodies
simultaneously.

The government pro-
posed the new policy
guidelines because it be-
lieved its proposals were
the only way to prevent
domination by one group
of another and also the
only way to uphold stan-
dards.

“Qur purpose with the
new system is to entrench
peoples’ rights over mat-
ters which affected them
personally and, at the
same time, to establish ef-
fective government to-
gether with the retain-
ment of standards.””

Mr Heunis told the con-
gress that the Govern-
ment’s constitutional
plans would not require a
referendum and the pro-
cess of converting them
into legislation could be-
gin with the next parlia-
mentary session.

He believed the propo-
sals would gain the sup-
port of a large sector of
Coloured and Asian
people.

He agreed with Mr Dick
van der Ross, the Rector
of the University of the
Western Cape, that a sig-
nificant number of
Coloured people was pre-
pared to accept the Prime
Minister’s constitutional

plans.

Mr Heunis was asked
what would happen to the
plans if the Coloured and
Asian population refused
toaccept them.

The 1977 proposal had
been rejected, he replied,
because it was a White
plan and it contained ele-
ments unacceptable to
other population groups.
The Prime Minister’s pro-
posals, however, were
based on those of the
President’s Council which
were the result of consul-
tation between the three
population groups con-
cerned.

“The government did
not come to the congresses
before consulting with
these population groups
and their leaders. Thic
does not say that there
was total acceptance

ever, acts reasonably,

A mothership-cum-trawler

The vessel which has been
named ‘Mama Tafico’ will serve
as the hub of the prawn fishin;
project by supplying fuel, fres!
water and ice to other TAFICO
boats at sea.

The vessel which is equipped
with processing, grading and
freezing equipment will greatly
help in preserving sea products
and thereby maintain their
quality and commercial value.

Prawns tend to deteriorate
with easy shortly after capture
because of bacteria and
endoenzymes. The presence of
the vessel will greatly help in
preserving prawns in good
conditions.

The multi-purpose vessel will
also collect prawns from
fishermen in the Rufiji and carry
the product to shorebase.

‘Were Not Terroristic'

THE fact that.a person
might unwittingly help a
conspiracy did not make
him 2 party to that con-
spiracy, Mr D Kuny, de-
fence counsel for Mr Alan
Morris fine, argued at Mr
Fine’s terrorism trial yes-
terday.

Mr Kuny’s argument is
that Mr Fine was unaware
of apy alliance between
the South African Con:
gress of Trade Unions
(SACTU) and the banned
ANC,

He submitted in argu-
ment in the Johannesburg
Regional Court yesterday
that the State was not in
possession of the evidence
needed to show the exist-
ence of a conspiracy be-
tween Sactn and the ANC.

“All the acts alleged
against Mr Fine are acts
performed on behalf of a
lawful organisation.

“There can be no doubt
that the accused’s acts
were not per se acts of a
terroristic nature.”

Mr Fine should be
judged on his own acts
alone and certainly not on
the acts of an organisation
(the ANC) which allegedly
had aligned itself in a con-
spiracy with another orga-
nisation,

A conspiracy might well
have existed but the State

31

had to prove that Mr Fine
had intended to further
this conspiracy. This
proof alone would be
proof of his guilt.

The law relating to ter-
rorism was so wide,

an assault on an official,
for example — could be
taken to constitute an act
of terrorism:

“Mere association with
and the furnishing of in-
formation to SACTU
could not constitute taking
part in the activities of the
ANC.”

that there had been evi-
dence of Mr Fine com-
municating information
on everyday labour mat-
ters im South Africa to
persons in Botswana in a
secretive manner.

“While this may create
an aura of illegality and
suspicion a clandestine
communication does not
indicate a guilty mind on
the part of the accused.””

TEAM PROBING SIDO INDUSTRIAL ESTATE CONFIRMS IRREGULARITIES

THE three-member team for-
med by Minister of Industries
Basil Mramba five months

Organisation (SIDO) in-

some irregularities in project
allocation at the estate, it was

the team chaired by retired

firmed that a grey sheeting
unit at the estate was
dubiously given to a director-
igeneral of .a public cor-
poration. |

A statement issued by the

yesterday did not identify the
executive but it said the
project was allocated to him
“contrary to the leadership
code”.

“It said the probe team also
confirmed that a canteen at
the SIDO estate was given to
a relative of a senior official
of the organisation contrary
to laid down procedures. The
official was. not named.

The statement said the
committee failed to prove
several other allegations of
favouritism and corruption at
Tanga and other SIDO
estates but that it recom-
mended a .number of
measures regarding the
claims and, the general
operations of the
organisation.

The statement said the
probe team could not gather
convincing evidence on claims
that a senior SIDO official
retained some of the projects
under the guise of relatives
and close friends and that he
demanded up to 50,000/-
bribes from aspirants for the
projects.

A Tanga resident calling

himself Abdallah Mwen-
dapole whose reports to the
press prompted the probe had
also claimed that at least two
other SIDO officials owned
projects which they run
through relatives.
The ministry statement said
the committee identified
projects run by relatives of of-
ficials at the Tanga estate but
that it could not establish the

Chiv Chimombe, said that
if their resolutions get the
support of African gov-
ernments there could soon
be a new science curricu-
lum for the continent.

Zimase organised and
hosted the first confer-
ence of Fase, which took
place at the University of
Zimbabwe last week.

‘The Harare conference,
Mr Chtmombe said, had
put forward more than 10
recommendations for &
science curriculum that
would be relevant to the
needs of Africa.

Two of the recommen-
dations passed at the
meeting had been:

The need for a science
technology applicable to
a country undergoing
transformation from &
rural to a monetary
economy, and formulation
and implementation of a
strategy for persuading
parents, governments and
industries that there could
be no functional education

unless everyone under-
stood Its purpose.
WRITING
Mr Chimombe. who is
the headmaster of Fletcher
High School, said that in
Zimbabwe, members of his
association were already
attempting to write
science textbooks,

“We are using foreign
science textbooks, and as
science teachers, we know
what is wrong with these
books and we must there-
fore write what is rele-
vant to our students.”

‘They had already ans-
wered part of the chal-
lenge to bring im a science
curriculum relevant to the
needs of this country by
the introduction of sclence
booklets to back up the
Zimsei projects of the
Ministry of Education and
Culture, he said.

“The writers are there,”
he said. “All we need to
do ts to get them together
and give them the assign-
ments and they will start
to write.” .

The next Fase con-
ference is to be held in
the Zambian capital. Lu-

at the moment. In the third place,
what is assumed is that these
workers must simply go back to the
rural areas and quietly disappear or
die of hunger.

We want to question this kind of
leadership, which is reminiscent of
Marie Antoinette before the French
Revolution, who is alleged to have
said that the masses should eat cake
when they were crying for bread.

The economic climate today in the
final analysis is created by political
management and mismanagement.
The Government and all its sur-
rogates are responsible for a highly
and extremely wasteful system of
duplicating facilities and everything
else in the name of an ideology.

We should also note that the geological laboratory which has just been turned
over to Zaire is reputed to be one of the best in Africa. It has several
pieces of sophisticated equipment, including a spectrometer, an X-ray
diffractometer, an atomic absorption device, and precision weighing equipment.

With the help of this high-quality scientific equipment, experts will be able
to perform all kinds of analysis of rocks, metals, sites and soils.

NAMIBE PORT DIFFICULTIES--The acting coordinator of the provincial party
committee and the deputy provincial commissar of Namibe visited the commercial
port recently where they observed various irregularities relating to the
handling of goods bound for Huila, Cunene, Kuando Kubango and Namibe provinces.
In fact, the two officials discovered that large quantities of cans of
vegetable oil arrived at the Namibe port completely crushed, leading them

to believe that this was the work of dishonest workers at the Luanda port
from where the goods came. Later, at Namibe's commercial port, the officials
were informed that about 80 percent of the 500 tons of wheat flour bound for
this province had arrived in a state of deterioration and that steps were
underway to identify those responsible. Another aspect which was brought to
light during the visit was the manner in which sugar was unloaded; more than
2 tons were lost because the bags arrived torn. [Text] [Luanda JORNAL DE

HSRC RESEARCH INTO TV BROADCASTING REPORTED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 15 Sep 82 p 8

[Article by Dave Spiro]

[Text]

cso

ONE of the findings of an

analysis of the mass media
in South Africa was that
all population groups
were portrayed very posi-
tively on TVI.

The - analyses of the
mass media in South Afri-
ca was compiled by Dr D
P Conradie of the Institute
for Communication Re-
search of the Human Sci-
ences Research Council.

The survey has been in
progress since 1974 and
has found that, in addition
to the positive portrayal of
all race groups, the por-
trayal could have nothing
but a constructive effect
on the opinions various
population groups have of
one another.

Dr = Conradie also
found, when one consider-
ed the various occupa-
tional roles that occurred
in TV broadcasting, that
Whites were usually por-
trayed as “athletes,
sportsmen and sports of-
ficials.”
on could be attributed
mainly to the sports
broadcasts on television.

On the other hand,
Blacks mostly appeared as
‘heads of state and politi-
cal leaders’ mainly be-
cause of the high incidence
of news programmes
which interviewed Black
leaders from other coun-

4700/1939

phenomen- *

tries.

From the available data
it was clear that 89 per-
cent of identifiable indi-
viduals on TVI_ were
Whites and about 10 per-
cent Blacks. In news pro-
grammes it was found that,
about 83 percent of the
people featured — were
White, 15 percent Black
and two percent other
population groups.

The survey also found
that about one-quarter of
local programme time was
occupied by Afrikaans-
speaking Whites, about
the same amount of time
by English-speaking
Whites, while about two
two percent was set aside
for Blacks.

The remaining time was
allocated to nature pro-
grammes and other
scenes. Males were found
to be the dominant sex
featured on television.

Dealing with the ques-
tion of aggression shown
on TV, the report found
about five or six scenes
picturing aggression were
shown cach hour.

Despite this relatively
high figure it was also true
to say two thirds of the
total programmes broad-
cast contained no apgres-
sion whatsoever.

38

SOUTH AFRICA

It was also found that
the incidence of aggres-
sion was usually slightly
higher on the English ser-
vice than on the Afrikaans
service.

In surveying radio pro-
grammes, tle — report
found that both the Afri-
kaans and the English ser-
vice devoted most of their
time to music program-
mes before and after the
introduction of television.

The only changes in the
radio programmes broad-
cast was a swing to more
informative broadcasts
early morning and late
afternoon on both ser-
vices.

This change coincided
with the majority of work-
ers being at home during
these types of program:
mes.

In a content analysis of
samples of South African
newspapers, the report
found that an average of
three-fifths of total news-
Paper space was usually
devoted to advertisements
while one-fifth of the
newspaper was devoted to
purely informative func-
tion.

It also found that the
Afrikaans Press devoted
more space to informative
function and less space to
adverts than — English
newspapers.

TANZANIA

MINISTER SAYS FUEL SUPPLIES TO ZANZIBAR HINDERED BY TRANSPORT LACK
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 3 Sep 82 p 1

[Text] THE Minister for Water and Energy, Ndugu Al Noor Kassum has said that
normal fuel supplies to Zanzibar have been affected mainly by lack of adequate
transport.

Commenting on reports from the Isles that the fuel situation was far from ade-
quate, the minister said in Dar es Salaam yesterday that the two oil tankers--
mv Uhuru and Ukombozi--supplying fuel from Mainland to Zanzibar were currently
undergoing repairs in Madagascar and Mombasa.

However, Ndugu Kassum said every effort was being made to find alternative
means of fuel transport to the isles. "We have resorted to other mans of fer-
rying oil and its products to areas covering Zanzibar, Mtwara and Lindi."

He said there was adequate fuel for all these areas and that the only snag
was lack of transport facilities.

The British Petroleum (BP Tanzania) Managing Director Norman Collander affirmed
in Dar es Salaam yesterday that due to lack of transportation, supplies to
the isles--usually about 1,200 tonnes a month--were now at much less quantities.

He said BP was now being forced to supply fuel in drums, carried on passenger
vessels to the isles, the southern regions and Tanga.

As part of the move to normalise fuel supplies to the Isles, a barge belonging
to the Tanzania People's Defence Forces (TPDF) had also ferried tanker trucks
full of fuel to Zanzibar.

"But really in the absence of mv Uhuru and Ukombozi, supplies have been extreme-
ly strained", Mr. Callander said, adding that there was no other suitable way
for oil transportation to these areas.

He explained that it was an involved process to get fuel into the drums, includ-
ing washing them and transporting them to and from the filling places. This,
he said, could cause delay in finally sending the fuel to the affected areas.

Mr. Callander said, however, that at the moment there were no drums awaiting
to be filled with oil destined for Zanzibar or the other areas.

AGREEMENT WITH ANGOLA ON WATERWAYS BEACON SYSTEM
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 10 Aug 82 pp 1, 7

[Text] The Joint Zairian-Angolan Commission on Maintenance and Development
of the sea-level segment of the Zaire River has decided to introduce the new
international beacon system on the sea-level portion of the Zaire River,
following a meeting held recently in Kinshasa.

Use of the new beacon system, adopted by the International Maritime Beacon-
ing Association at its meeting in Tokyo in 1980, was recommended by AGPAOC
(Association of West and Central African Port Managers) for all member coun-
tries.

Contrary to past practice, the new beacon system involves placing red mark-
ing buoys on the left bank, and green buoys on the right.

Citizen Bukasa Mayela Odia, president-general delegate to the Shiplines
Administration (RVM) and acting president of the joint commission, told AZAP
[Zairian Press Agency] Monday morning that the Angolan side has agreed to see
that appropriate studies are made of Diego Cao Bay, at the mouth of the
Zaire River.

The president-general delegate of RVM lauded the spirit of mutual under-
standing and the close attention paid by the representatives of the two
countries to the effort to find ways and means of improving navigability of
the sea-level portion of the Zaire River.

According to the final report published at the conclusion of the meeting,
the general review carried out by the two sides showed that Zaire and Angola
are effectively cooperating in the field of maintenance and improvement of
the sea-level portion of the Zaire River.

The report notes the determination of the two countries to strengthen further
their cooperative ties in order to continue to carry out the policies of
Presidents Mobutu Sese Seko and the late Agostinho Neto, who were the signa-
tories of the special agreement that created the Joint Zairian-Angolan
Commission on the Zaire River

SHAKE-UP OF NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNED

Harare THE HERALD in English4 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

cso:

ZIMBABWE

THE Ministry of Transport hopes to introduce a national transport plan
early next year that will provide Zimbabwe with an integrated transport

system, the Deputy
Minister, Cde Amos
Mids, told the Assem-
bly.

Answering questions
that had been raised dur-
ing Thursday's debate on
the vote for the ministry,
he said consultations with
other ministries about the
plan were under way.

Mr Paddy Shields (Inde-
pendent, Bulawayo Cen

|) had pointed Put that
the country would not
beneftt if only main rail-
way Mnes were modern-
ised. Cde Midzi said
modernisation had to
start with the main lines
and then move on to the
branches and sub-lines.

Of the 87 steam locomo-
tives earmarked for re-
habilitation, 73 were al-
ready back in service and
the rest should be ready
by the end of the year,
‘These should last until the
syatem was completely
electrified. ‘

The ministry wanted to
move towards a cost
based tariff for the rail-
ways, but this was a com-
plicat-d process and could
not be done overnight.

Mr Richard Cartwright
(Independent, — Hatfield)
had asked about the road
motor services and Cde
Midzi said it was moving
towards profitability. The
deficit for this year
had been reduced to
$28 151 000.

4700/1948

Mr Cartwright had aleo
asked whether Mozambi-
que had asked for 220
wagons as reparation for
war damages and had also
seized some locomotives
during the liberation war.

Cde Midzi said the
wagons were in Mozambi-
que as part of an agree-
ment between the two
governments to benefit
both countries. At the end
of the war there had been
two electric diesel locomo-
tives in Mozambique and
these had been returned.
There had also been three
steam locomotives for
which hire charges had
been waived.

. Cde Midzi assured the
House that the Govern-
ment was satisfied there
were no more saboteurs in
the national railways al-
though soon after inde-
pendence, his ministry had
met problems “here and
there”.

Cde Matibenga (ZANU
PF, Midlands) asked the
ministry to consider con-
structing a railway line to
Gokwe, where he said,
people had problems on
the roads during the rainy
season.

Cde Midzi said tt would
be desirable to have as
many railway lines as pos-

104

sible, if not for constraints
of finance and route via-
bility.

Cde Midzi-agreed with
Mr Divaris (Independent,
Kopje) that Air Zimbabwe
should “spread its wings”,
adding that his ministry
was considering destina-
tions in South-East Asia,
Eastern Burope’ and other
parts of the world.

The deputy minister
told the House that while
the airlines jm the rest of
the world were in the dol-
drums, Air Zimbabwe was
“doing well” under the
circumstances.

Cde Midzi told Mr Tony
Berkhout (RF, Central)
that Air Zimbabwe's plan-
ning manager was en-
gaged in a study to see
if there was any justifica-
tion for a “milk run"
linking Mutare, Harare,
Gweru and Bulawayo.

Mr Berkhout noted that
the ministry had received
an approach from Mata-
bele Air about carrying
freight between the four
centres.

The problem was cost,
Cde Midzi said. The most
expensive parts of fiying
were the take-offs and
landings and therefore the
cost of the “milk run”
would be extremely high.

SUCCESS OF HARARE
Harare THE HERALD

FARM SHOW HATLED

in English 6 Sep 82 p

“THE best Harare Agricultural Show ever,” was
the opinion of the Show Society’s general
manager, Mr Alan Dawkins, after the number of
visitors was tallied at more than 179000 —

5.000 more than last

year.

But a vast amount of
rubbish remained to be
cleared up after Saturday’s
large turnout — the last
day of the show.

Mr Dawkins said a tour
of exhibits by senior show
officials and council mem-
bers found that all exhi-
bitors were very satisfied.
Many of them’ had done
exceedingly well in sales
‘and forward bookings.

Most of ‘the cattle had
been” removed by Satur-
day, but there were still
some cattle, pigs and
sheep which, he hoped,
would have been removed
by yesterday,

“My personal assess
ment is that, without any
exaggeration, it has been
the best show ever held
in Harare,” he said.

“This refiects the view
of all those who took part
in administration and
entertainment and exhibi-
tors in both agricultural
and commercial sectors,

“There was an orderli-

105

ness throughout the week
which enabled the public
and all those at the show
to: relax and enfoy the
festive nature of this
great event"

NATION SEEKING EEC INVESTMENT IN IRON ORE DEVELOPMENT

London WEST AFRICA in English No 3398, 20 Sep 82 p 2460

[Text]

Shada Islam writes from Brussels:

Senegal has joined the rapidly growing list of West African states who”

hope to persuade the European Community and European mining firms
to invest in the development and exploitation of their iron ore resources.

The formal request for EEC aid for the development of the Falémé
mines in eastern Senegal was made in Brussels, on September 7, by Cheikh
Hamidou Kane, Senegal’s Minister for industrial affairs and mines. The
demand comes at a time when the EEC development division is trying to
draw up an “EEC mining strategy” designed to persuade reluctant
European investors to take a stake in Africa's mineral resources.
Although the long-awaited strategy was expected to be unveiled in
autumn this year, indications are that a formal policy statement will be
put off until next year. For the moment, however, the development
division at the EEC commission will continue to encourage African
States to come up with viable mineral development projects.

The projected “mining policy” received a major setback following the
recent decision by the European Coal and Steel Community to invest an
unprecedented $600m. in the Carajas iron ore mines in Brazil.
Commissioner Pisani, in charge of the EEC’s special Lomé relationships,
failed in his attempts to torpedo the project, which he fears could tie up
EEC funds which could be used to invest in Africa. The EEC decision to
invest in Brazil also provoked vehement criticism in ACP circles in
Brussels, and prompted a number of Western African representatives to
make formal requests for EEC funding for iron ore projects.

The three major African projects being considered by the EEC
development division include the Mount Nimba iron ore mines in
Guinea, the Belinga deposits in Gabon and the Falémé mines in Senegal.
Indications are that the EEC commission favours the Guinea Projects
which, according to development experts, compares “rather well” with
the Carajas deposits in Brazil. The Guinea mines are only 285 km away
from ports in neighbouring Liberia and require total investments worth
$1,000m. to be able to produce approximately 15m. tonnes of iron ore
per year.

The Senegalese Minister stressed that he was “worried” by the EEC’s
“apparent ignorance” of the iron ore mining potential of the Falémé
mines. “We were surprised that the focus by the EEC was on Brazil and
Guinea, and that there has been no mention in recent discussions of the
Senegalese mining potential”, he told West Africa. According to the
Senegalese leader, the EEC is now considering a “positive response” to
his request for funding for the $900m. project which should allow
Senegal to produce up to 12 million tonnes of iron ore per year for 40
years.

26

SENEGAL


we dare to hope, the prices will be sufficiently remunerative. And as a
result of this liberalization, the peasants of the "Polygon" of gold mining
at Kabongola and Katshokolo, as well as other small villages and localities
surrounding the Punia and Ubundu zones will no longer be mistreated by the
industrial guards of SOMINKI as has happened for several months now in
Haut-Zaire [high-Zaire] and Kivu. The peasants living in that "polygon"
have been victimized by the actions of employees of that mining company;
these employees have been operating even beyond the boundaries of the en-
terprise's concession. And that is only one of a number of examples.

ZAIRE

REASSERTION OF GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 10 Aug 82 p 3
[Article by M. Osiok "Shaba: Peace With Neighboring Countries"]

[Text] As everyone knows, Zaire's foreign policy is based on three cardinal
principles: goodwill toward all countries, African unity, and noninterference
in the internal affairs of other states.

These three principles make it imperative for our people to live in peace
with all the peoples of the world.

Thus, Zaire insists on remaining a true-blue peace-loving nation. This is a
noble policy, when one realizes that men were created and destined to live in
perfect understanding and that peace is the only alternative for a better
world.

The [Shaba] regional government is consistently trying to implement this
policy in its own sphere of action.

In fact, Governor Mandungu--faithful to the line of action of the Mobutu
revolution as it concerns diplomacy--is sparing no effort to establish a
peaceful climate of relations between Shaba and the neighboring provinces
of this part of Zaire.

As is well known, a permanent regional Zairian-Zambian commission has been in
operation for some time. Its first action was the holding of two trade fairs
in the space of 2 months, one in Lumumbashi and the other at Ndola. The
attendance of the Zambian president at the last meeting of Zairian and
Zambian businessmen in Ndola only fanned the hopes that have been aroused by
this commission, whose basic objective is to resolve common problems shared
by the neighboring regions of our two countries, including establishment of a
security cordon on both sides of the border, in order to insure eternal peace
between the two countries.

The contribution made by Shaba's governor in this diplomatic undertaking is

well known. For he has always played a preponderant part in the working
sessions having to do with this Zairian-Zambian joint project.

GHANA

CYO, CHURCHES WARNED TO IDENTIFY STAND
Accra GHANAIAN TIMES in English 4 Sep 82 pp 1, 3

[Excerpt] Mr Zaya Yeebo, Secretary for Youth and Sports, has asked the Catho-
lic Youth Organization (CYQ) to purge itself of all counter-revolutionary
elements.

He said the PNDC would not hesitate to crush any corrupt youth organizations
and those which allowed themselves to be used by counter-revolutionaries.

"If you want to remain alive, you have to rid yourselves of corrupt elements,"
he told the 20th national management meeting of the CYO which opened at Cape
Coast on Thursday.

The theme for the week-long meeting is "The Christian youth on the march to
nation-building."

The secretary said it was time the churches clearly identified their stand;
whether they stood for those in whose interest the revolution was launched, or
for the privileged and corrupt elements in the society.

He regretted that though the top hierarchy in the churches preached virtue,
they practised vice and warned: "If you allow the church to be dominated by
'kalabule' elements in the society your aims and aspirations would be crushed."

On the destruction of lodges by demonstrators in Accra, Mr Yeebo said the
action was justified because "if the people decide that an institution stands
in the way of progress and must be destroyed, it will be done."

He, therefore, charged the CYO to identify the real friends of the church
from its enemies and find concrete solutions to problems.

"The days of theory are over. Concrete action is now needed for the mobiliza-
tion of the youth towards nation-building," he said.

In a welcome address, His Grace John Kodwo Asmissah, Archbishop of Cape Coast,

called on the participants to come out with ideas ways and effective means of
deepening love for their country.

ESCOM EMBARKS ON MASSIVE EXPANSION PROGRAMME

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 15 Sep 82 p 3

{Text ]

cso:

THE Electricity Supply
Commission (Escom) has
embarked on an expan-
sion programme for the
next 10 years which will
cost about R16 000-mil-
lion.

‘This Includes four ther-
mal power stations in the
Transvaal which will in-
crease Escom’s capacity
by 14000 mW. This is
equivalent to its maximum
generating capacity up to
1980 — when it used 22
power stations.

The cost of these power
stations will be between
R1 800-million and
R2 000-million each. They
will use coal as an energy
source, The first of these,
Tutuka, near Standerton,
is on line to be completed
by 1985. Every six months
after that the generating
capacity will be increased
by 600 mW.

Lethabo, near Vereeni-
ging, and Matiba in Ellis-
ras, Northern Transvaal
will use a different tech-
nique to the others. The
fourth, Lekwe is to be
built next to Lethabo.

Another two thermal
power stations will be
erected in the Eastern
Transvaal and Natal re-

4700/1939

gions.

The new Drakensberg
pumped storage scheme is
already complete and is
being switched into the
national network.

‘A spokesman for Escom
said it was hoped to have
part of Koeberg nuclear
power station in the Cape
completed by the end of
this year. The expansion
programme also includes
a new hydro-power sta-
tion in the Western Cape
which will be named
Palmit.

The spokesman said Es-
com was running at full
capacity despite the econ-
omic downswing. “We
cannot slow down. When
the economic climate im-
proves we have to meet
the demand and keep it
under control.’?

“The expansion pro-

there was an increased de-

ZAMBIA

IRISH GOVERNMENT MAKES WATER SUPPLY PROJECT GRANT
Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 9 Sep 82 p 1

[Text] THE Irish government has given Zambia K1.5 million grant for a water
supplies project in the Norther Province.

And Dublin has agreed to provide two water engineers, borehole drilling equip-
ment, transport and training for village water supplies to the province.

The project to be located in Kasama will be the Irish government's main con-
tribution to the "United Nations international drinking water supply and san-
itation decade."

The project will provide convenient primary water points through mill and bore-
hole construction and maintenance.

It is estimated that bythe end of the first phase, clean, safe, drinking water
will have been provided to more than 40,000 people.

Director-general for National Commission for Development Planning Dr Leonard
Chivuno, and director of the Department of Water Affairs Mr Chewe Kayombo have
welcomed the Irish government's choice of Zambia.

The Irish government is already involved in the operation of Kasama rural dairy.

According to an Irish embassy spokesman, the siting of the project, which would
begin at the end of this year, was a logical progression of the Irish programme
of development cooperation activities in Northern Province.

The spokesman said the project would have added a related health montioring
component with the aim of eradicating bilharzia and other water-borne diseases
from the village drinking supplies.

Training of Zambian personnel was envisaged.
In April Ireland gave Zambia K30,000 for the Kasama dairy farm. And in January

it gave Zambia K33,000 to improve the Mungwi water supply system in the same
province.

TANZANIA

MINISTER EXPLAINS DECREASE IN CASHEW NUT PRODUCTION

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 4 Sep 82 p 3

[Excerpt]

«ANZANIA is presently
producing an evarage of
40,000 tonnes of raw
cashewnuts per annum less
than half of the over 100,000
tonnes produced in the 1970s,
the Minister for Agriculture,
Ndugu John Machunda, said
in Dar es Salaam yesterday.

The Minister said this when
he was opening the cashewnut
industry convention at the
ministry’s headquarters. The
convention is being attended
by representatives from eight
cashewnut related * in-
ternational organisations.

Ndugu Machunda cited in-
stability of export prices for
cashew products as one of the
major reasons behind the fall
in’ the production, of
cashewnuts. .

The Minister explained
that instability was brought
about by domestic problems
by producer countries and the
attitude of the importing
countries, noting that on the
foreign front, forces at play
were actions ‘perpetrated by
speculators and falling and
rising demand.

Ndugu Machunda observed
that the ‘implication of such
instabilities to Tanzania as an
exporter was the creation of
uncertainty in foreign ex-
change earnings from this
commodity with similar fluc-
tuations in revenues obtained
by the Cashewnut Authority
of Tanzania (CATA).

4700/1936

He said the cumulative fac-
tors were responsible for
reducing CATA’s ability to
pay higher producer prices to
the farmers’ in a bid to
stimulate them for incréased
production,

Ndugu Machunda noted
that the farmers’ reactions to
such-. eventuality sometimes
led to abandonment of the
crop in favour of subsistance
crops such as cassava, maize
and. millets. A

ie convention would be
deliberating on the current
status of Tanzania cashew in-
dustry, basic operational
problems, alternative modern
packing methods and role of
commission agents.

, Other issues expected to be
discussed at ‘the convention
are standardisation of sales
contracts, procedure for filing
quality claims, retention
money and other general
issues.

Organisations represented
at the convention are Seaco
International Limited of
Canada, 20th Century Foods
of Singapore, International
Emporium of West Germany
and Catz International
of. Holland. ‘

Others are J.H,. Rayner

SUDDEN RESIGNATION, DEPARTURE OF DE CRESPIGNY CREATES SUSPICION

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 15 Sep 82 p 6

[Editorial:

{Text ]

"Mystery Man"]

WE HAVE had some mysterious people in
this country, and one of them is Professor
Anthony de Crespigny, who resigned from
the President’s Council and left the country
suddenly in August.

A member of the now-defunct Liberal Party,
he was Professor of Political Science at Cape
Town University. He described himself to
the Steyn Commission on the media as a “lib-
eral in the old English tradition.”

In South African terms, however, he was a
conservative, supporting the Government's
policies and proposing, as far back as 1978, a
system for Whites, Coloureds and Asians —
excluding Blacks — based on the theory of
consociational democracy.

This became the essence of the President's
Council's constitutional reform plan.

There are suggestions now that he worked for
the African National Congress or the British
intelligence service, MI 6, or both.

Though double agents are not unknown in the
murky world of espionage, we doubt whether
he could have acted at the same time for such
disparate organisations as the ANC and MI
6.

His own denials are of no consequence, since
the last thing he would do is admit that he
was any kind of spy.

The best thing he could do would be to return
to South Africa and face his accusers, but he
appears reluctant to come back — certainly
at this point in time.

So we are left to ponder why a man who had
made a major contribution to the constitu-
tional future of this country should suddenly
upand go.

From the Government side, the chairman of
the President's Council, the Vice-State Presi-

Conspiracy by Reds 'A Myth’

DURBAN. — South Afri-
ca’s security legislation
existed to instill fear in the
hearts of ordinary people
who might otherwise feel
inclined to voice their op-
position, Mr Arthur
Chaskalson, director of
Johannesburg’s Legal Re-
sources Centre, said.

“It is not because South
Africa is the object of a
worldwide communist
conspiracy which has been
conducted so effectively
that the entire world has
been misled in regard to
the true situation obtain-
ing to this country,” he
said.

“That is a myth, and its
propagation is an insult to
our intelligence.”

Mr Chaskalson was de-
livering the opening ad-
dress on Wednesday at a
conference at the Univer-
sity of Natal in Durban to

examine detention and se-
curity legislation.

The security laws en-
abled the State to contro!
the flow of information, to
prescribe political opposi-
tion and to break up orga-
nisations - which might
have been seen be gain-
ing popular suy >ort, par-
ticularly within the Black
community, he said.

“This country is ruled
by White South Africans
who have organised it in a
way designed to ensure
that wealth and privilege
vests in them.

“Attempts within the
Black population to mobi-
lise support against White
domination have been
broken up, repeatedly,
and peaceful methods of
protest have been cur-
tailed.”

Mr Chaskalson said this

had led to violent resist-
ance and the Black popu-
lation, excluded from
power within South Afri-
ca, had sought allies out-
side the country and had
found them.

“Today, their cause is
recognised by the whole
world and White South
Africa stands isolated, de-
fending itself behind a net-
work of security legis-
Jation and military power.
“But a society’ which
depends for its survival on
harsh security laws will
inevitably collapse.
“Laws which frustrate
the aspirations of a major-
ity of the population are
divisive, and to contain
the divisions, the laws
have become increasingly
repressive. that in turn
hardens attitudes and stirs
up revolt,” he said.

No Protection for Detainees

DURBAN. — There is
very little within present
security legislation which
provides any degree of
protection for detainees,
a Johannesburg attorney,
Mr Raymond Tucker,
said yesterday.

Addressing the deten-
tion and security legis-
lation conference at the
University of Natal, Mr
Tucker said the
“Pages of legislation have
created a valueless appa-
ratus of review and an il-
lusion exists that the de-
tainee is protected and
still has certain rights.

“The truth is that what
rights still remain only
tend to illustrate the ex-
tent of the loss of rights
and the remedies pro-
vided only highlight the
absence of any meaning-
ful protection.”

Later in the confer-

ence, Professor John Du-
gard, director of the
centre for applied legal
studies at the University
of the Witwatersrand,
urged that all judges be
given equal opportunity
to hear trials under the se-
curity laws.

From_a study of the 25
security trials held in the
Transvaal recent years,
he said, these cases were
tried by 12 judges out of
the 45 who sat in the
Transvaal.

Prof Dugard said there
was no evidence to sug-
gest that judges who had
heard political trials en-
joyed any greater exper-
tise on the subject than
those who had been over-
looked.

“On the contrary, sev-
eral of the judges so over-
looked did have some ex-
perience in this field of
law.”

The spokesman said there were an estimated 15 000 people in the docks at any
one time during the week--7 000 Railways and Harbour employees, 7 000 private-
enterprise employees and 1 000 people who went to the docks daily on business
connected with shipping.

He recalled the Suez crises of 1956 and 1967, when at times there were 40
and more ships waiting out in the bay for berths, and he added:

This could happen again at any time--and we've got to be prepared for this
or any other eventuality that could suddenly put pressure on the port."

MIGRANT WORKERS--WRAB DODGES BLAME, UNIONS ANGRY

Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 15 Sep 82 p 6

{Article by Sam Mabe]

[Text]

THE chairman of the
West Rand Administra-
tion Board Mr John
Knoetze yesterday
blamed the country’s
economic recession for
the new Government di-
rective to refuse contract
workers permission to
change their jobs.

Mr Knoetze said the
criticisms which have
been levelled against
Wrab for “the clamp-
down on migrant work-
ers” was unjustified and
unfair

- The directive. given
by the Chief Commis-
sioner for the Witwa-
tersrand will now make
it impossible for con-
tract workers who have
lost their jobs to be em-
ployed elsewhere —
even if they have found
anew job.

At the end of their
contract. or if their em-
ployment is terminated
before the expiry of the
contract, they will have
to return to their
“homelands” where a
Government labour offi-
cer will decide whether
they can be registered in
another job.

Mr Knoetze said this

has not been brought
about by a new law or
regulation. He said his
board had always been
bound by the same law
that applied to all other
urban areas throughout
the country.

~The difference is just
that my board has used
its discretion in applying
the law in cases where
circumstances so per-
mitted. But it surprises
me to find that we are
condemned by people
who know what the law
says about the position
of contract workers.

“When a worker en-
ters into a contract with
an employer. that con-
tract remains valid only
for the period that the
worker is in the em-
ploy of that specific
employer. The contract
cannot be transferred to
another emplover.

“But we are con-
cerned about the cre-
ation of job opportuni-
ties for people in the ju-
risdiction of the West
Rand Board and we
have been quite accom-
modating because ‘we

PRECIOUS STONES TRADE LIBERALIZED
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 5 Aug 82 p 4

[Article by Obotela Osega-Bioto: "Plans to Liberalize Possession, Traffic and
Trade in Precious Stones"]

[Text] In the relatively near future, all those Zairians interested in
mining or trading in precious stones or materials, such as diamonds and gold,
will be able to "come out in the open." Such persons will be authorized

to extract, hold and sell their products freely at sales counters set up for
this purpose all around the country. In other words, there may be a decision
to liberalize the laws governing possession, trade and traffic in precious
stones in our country. This decision would follow the decisions taken by the
Executive Council in July 1981; they had covered selective decontrol of prices
(except for strategic materials) and liberalization of SAD [not involving
purchase of foreign currency] importations.

The possible liberalization was announced on 29 July 1982 by the state
commissar for the national economy, industry and foreign trade, Citizen Pay
Pay Syakassighe. The disclosure was made during his speech on "Current Di-
rections of the Zairian Economy and the Institutional Mechanisms Created for
Economic-Social Recovery," addressed to the attendees of the most recent
session of the Party College which was held in the great hall of the People's
Palace. This program, which embodies the philosophy of a liberal economic
system guaranteeing the free play of economic forces, will put an end, once it
is adopted, to fraud and clandestine exploitation of our mineral resources.
It is of course understood that this liberalization will not affect the
mineral concessions of the companies which extract and trade in precious
stones; thus no one will be able any more than in the past to go look for
diamonds on the Miba concessions, or under or on the SOMINKI [Mining and
Industrial Company of KIVU] and Kilo-Moto lands. The laws and regulations
now in force are clear on that point.

By liberalizing trade in precious stones throughout the country, a trade
which must remain exclusively in the hands of Zairians, the Executive Council
is making life easier for all citizens who live in the zones and regions
where these riches lie. So every citizen will "work" his land, and he will
be able to sell the product of his labor over the counter; legally, and

with no qualms; no one will be tempted to go across the border; because,

SOWETO'S PROPHET PREDICTS DROUGHT, WAR, FARMINE

SOUTH AFRICA

UNLESS Mrs Lilian Mo-
koena fasts real hard we

-are in for famine, war
and the end of the world,
she says.

Mrs Mokoena, in case
you don’t know her, is
the woman who prophe-
sied Soweto would go up
in flames in 1975. When
it did a year later, dur-
ing the 1976 riots, she
proudly said “I told you
50”,

“The Madonna and
child” is how she prefers
to be called, but “The
God of Goddesses of
Soweto” will also do.

Speaking in her not so
humble flag-lined abode
in Klipspruit, on the Old
Potchefstroom Road,
she proclaims God’s
wrath is upon us.

“T have the power to
intervene for the people
of Soweto who are big
sinners,” she says.

Again and again she

aks of the evil in
weto.

During the 1976 riots
she was stoned by Sowe-
tans offended by her
prophecies.

“You remember I had
to go and pray at the
Mountain View Koppie
to ask God not to destroy
the world? :

“Had I not prayed,

4700/1937

Soweto would have been
wiped out and a new
township renamed So-
hiatown built. I fasted
for three years — I was
so thin, I looked like a
ghost,” she says.

While most Sowetans
think of her as eccentric
others believe she has
supernatural powers.

Asked why she was
one year out on the
Soweto riots, she says: “I
never specified a time
— reporters did. From
that time onwards I had
problems. People hurled
abuse at me, stood in
front of my gate and
called me names. Some
threw stones, but I kept
quiet, fasted and prayed

to save us.”

Mrs Mokoena claims
she has a direct line to
God and maintains
doom and destruction
would follow if it wer-
en’t for her prayers.

Her latest predictions
are world famine and
war which will reach an
apocalyptic end in 1986.

“There will be no rain,
countries will be at war
and there will be no
food. No country will be
able to send food and re-
lief to another — what

39

happened in 1976 will
look like small mat-
ters,” she says with a
laugh.

She started praying
and fasting to avert this
on Monday.

A widow and mother
of six, she earns her liv-
ing from her herbal mix-
tures and prophecies.

_“I pray for inspira-
tion. If a person comes
to me for help — I first
pra , then the treatment

administer is revealed
to me”.

While she wears long
dresses, capes and doeks
typical of those worn by
the African Independent
churches, she also
adorns her neck and
arms with African beads
worn mostly by African
herbalists.

can kill me just like
that,” she says and snaps
her fingers.

‘I am not of this

“However, we have our
finest asset and are ex-
tremely blessed and for-
tunate in those who serve

Senator Norman said he
viewed agriculture as the
surest vehicle for rural
development. “

In its efforts to boost
productivity, he seid, the
Government would not
neglect any of the *oun-
try’s farming sectors.

Commercial, communal
and resettlement sectors
were equally important
and needed assistance and
promotion to meet the
country’s growing de-
mands. .

“Inevitably,” Senator
Worman said, “with this
promotion will come i

“However, I believe that
within a short space of

“It is a recognition of

in trying to ensure that
the Increasing food

next decade are met.

“This recognition places
a further responsibility
upon all of us connected
with agriculture and re-
emphasises that we can-
not afford to relax or be-
come complacent.

“Indeed, it poses yet one
more challenge to our
ability and our expertise
— a challenge I am happy
to accept on your behalf.”

THERE was nothing
alarming in Zimbabwe's
economy and any prob-
lems being experienced
should be seen as the

“usual pains and pres-

pendent state, a senior

Mr Asghar Jafri, gen-

of Credit and Commerce

as a Third World bank
accustomed to the prob-
lems: of developing coun-
tries, “we have every

‘The Bank of Credit and

established in Zimbabwe
14 months ago, has a Gov-

ing of 47 percent, while
53-percent of the shares
are held by the parent

try," Mr Jafri said.

‘Within the next six

Official figures made available to the Cape Times this week by SA Transport
Services and the Cape Town Chamber of Commerce show that while there has been
an increase in the overall tonnage of cargo handled at the port--most of it
in containers--there has been:

--A 50% reduction in the number of ocean-going vessels using the harbour
over the past 10 years; and

--A huge drop of more than 20-million gross registered tons in the volume
of shipping handled by the port in the five years since the Southampton-Cape
mailship service came to an end.

The official figures show that in 1972 a total of 3 480 917 tons of cargo

of all kinds was handled in the harbour. Last year this figure had risen

to 6 073 727 tons--but this was about 52 000 tons less than the volume handled
at Port Elizabeth.

South Africa's main port, Durban, handled 21 792 464 tons in 1981, and East
London 5 051 701 tons.

The most dramatic trends reflected by the official statistics are those for
Richard's Bay, which was officially opened as a port in 1976, and Saldanha
Bay--both of them now major ports for the export of ore and other bulk cargoes.

While in 1977 only 674 tons of general cargo were handled at Richard's Bay,
that port had by far the highest figures last year, with 30 251 174 tons
handled.

And while only 1 225 tons of cargo were handled at Saldanha Bay in 1977, the
figure for this port had soared to 13 182 343 tons last year--double the volume
handled at Cape Town.

The citrus industry recently decided to switch from Cape Town to other ports—-
mainly Port Elizabeth and Maputo--because of the withdrawal of the 40% rail
rebate export assistance and also because of the tariff increases announced
in the SA Transport Services budget.

The Deciduous Fruit Board has as a result found itself the sole "customer"
of the pre-cooling stores in the docks, and has embarked on a R10-million
scheme to rationalise the fruit storing facilities there and to run them more
economically.

An SATS spokesman said last week that in spite of the fall-off in shipping
handled by the port, there was no question at present of relinquishing quay-
space for other purposes or of handing over certain functions of the harbour
to private enterprise, as was mooted last year.

He added that Table Bay harbour was being maintained as a 24-hour port and
harbour staff were not being laid off. "We have a full staff on each shift
at each of our two-shift quays, so that we are constantly ready to provide
service when it is needed."

he left for the GDR on a familiarisation tour of universities and colleges
where Zambian students are enrolled. Originally the agreement was based on
sending Zambian students with Form Three certificates to the GDR for technical
training, but now these courses had been upgraded to cater for Form Five school
leavers. Mr Chilimboyi is expected to sign the ammendment in Berlin with his

Large-Scale Hydroelectric Survey
Beira DIARIO DE MOCAMBIQUE in Portuguese 20 Aug 82 p 3

[Text] Mozambique Electric, with the support of the Noroconsult Company,
is proceeding with the inventory of the hydroenergy resources of the whole
country, having already made a preliminary study in Nampula and Zambezia
provinces.

According to a company source, these activites will make it possible to get

a detailed energy picture of the main rivers of Mozambique, making it possible,
in the face of eventual increases of consumption, to determine wisely the

best solutions to adopt.

Within the framework of this project, more detailed work was carried out in
Niassa Province with a view to installing a hydroelectric plant that will
supply the city of Lichinga.

Benefits for the Farm

Implementation of this project is the first step in a larger plan aimed at
supplying the rural areas with hydroelectric power produced by small
hydroelectric plants.

The fact is that the socialization of the farm and the designation of the farm
as the basis of the country's economic development demands efforts in order

to bring electric power to the farm which is essential to the improvement of
the social well-being of the people.

The electrification of the farm will mark a break with undevelopment. It will
result in the lighting of homes, the streets and communal villages; the
possibility of pumping water, operation of the grinding mills, establishment
of a handicraft industry; the holding of night classes in the rural schools;
sterilization of surgical instruments in rural hospitals and maternity wards,
and the conservation of foods, among many other things.

Similarly, and on the basis of an agreement signed with Stork-Werkspoor Diesel
(SWD) of Holland, the company is proceeding with the expansion of the thermal
power station of Nacala, which in the future will have an installed power

of about 28 megawatts. The contract signed between the two companies is
estimated at about 225 million meticals and is part of the plan of financing
by the Dutch Government to the Mozambique People's Republic.

SOUTH AFRICA

FINE PART OF PLOT TO OVERTHROW GOVERNMENT, CLAIMS STATE

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 15 Sep 82 p 4

[Article by Sandra Lieberum]

[Text]

TRADE unionist Mr
Alan Morris Fine had
joined a conspiracy to
overthrow the South Afri-
can Government and
should -be convicted
under the Terrorism Act.

This submission was
put forward in the Johan-
nesburg Regional Court
yesterday by Mr J A Swa-
nepoel who is appearing
with Mr W J J Hanekom
for the State in the terror-
ism trail in which Mr Fine
has pleaded not guilty.

The allegation is that
Mr Fine sympathised with
and is or was a member of
the South African Con-
gress of Trade Unions
(SACTU), which tried to
organise workers in South
Africa to play a militant
role in’a revolution in the
country and to change the
social, economic and pol-
itical systems by crippling
or prejudicing industries
inthe Republic.

While admitting that he
passed on information
about labour matters, Mr
Fine has denied knowing
that SACTU still had an
alliance with the banned
African National Con-
gress and that informa-
tion passed to one would
be used to further the
aims of the other.

Kt-has been admitted
that communication was

carried out by means of
“dead letter boxes” and
codes.

In argument yesterday
the prosecution submitted
that if Mr Fine did not in-
tend his information to be
used by the ANC, he for-
saw the possibility that it
could be used, and was
reckless as to the possibil-
ity. .

Mr Swanepoel said Mr
Fine had claimed he was
unaware of the alliance,
but literature found in his
possession referred to the
alliance. Nowhere in the
literature was it indicated
that the alliance had been
terminated.

Mr Fine has testified
that he did not believe
that by working for SAC-
TU he would be con-
travening any law, but Mr
Swanepoel claimed Mr
fine said he suspected two
of his contacts in Bo-
tswana of working for the
ANC.

Mr Swanepoel sub-
mitted that a summary of
evidence by Major Craig
Williamson, who infii-
trated the ANC as an
undercover agent. was
uncontested or not dis-
proved by the defence
and should be kept in
mind by the court.

In this summary Major
Williamson said: “The

30

ANC was regarded as the
leader of the revolution-
ary alliance which consists

+ of the ANC, the South

African Communist Party
and the South African
Congress of Trade
Unions .. .

“To organise the revol-
utionary process the alli-
ance felt the Black work-
ers of South Africa had to
be organised into some-
thing which went beyond
trade union consciousness
and was more in the line
of a revolutionary class
consciousness.”

On December 17, 1977,
at the ANC Heroes’ Day,
an address was given by
the president of SACTU.
With him on the stage was
Joe Slovo, who represen-
ted the revolutionary
council of the ANC.

If this was not sufficient
evidence that the two
worked together there
was also an instance in
March 1978 when both
SACTU and the ANC
were represented at a
meeting of the United
Nation’s special commit-
tee against apartheid.

At one stage the ad-
dress of the ANC head-
quarters in London was
used by SACTU.

THE resettlement areas are now open to master farmers in
communal areas because most resettled people do not know how
to farm, the Minister of Lands, Resettlement and Rural Develop-
ment, Cde Moven Mahachi, said yesterday.

Addressing delegates to the congréss of the National Farmers’ Associa-
tion (for master farmers), Cde Mahachi said the Government appealed to

members to co-operate

in the new exercise.

A spokesman for Oggendblad told The Citizen that not a single person had com-

an yet another, "Carry on and don't allow yourself to be gagged". According

to the spokesman many of the people who phoned from places such as Cape Town

SUCCESS OF COOPERATIVE FARMING REPORTED

THE co-operative movement is gaining a strong foothold in
Zimbabwe, the Minister of Agriculture, Senator Denis Norman,
said yesterday.

To this amount should
be added another $13.8

It was also interesting
that only $74,8 million in

Involved as builders are the French-Italian consortium SAI-CGEE Alsthon,
Cogelex (installer) and the Swedish Swedpower, supervisor of the whole
project in coordination with Mozambique Electric.

The general project of the Center-North Line encompasses essentially four
important phases characterized by identical parameters two of which are
gaining great momentum at the present time, namely, the line that links the
zones of Songo, Caia, Nicoadala, Quelimane, Mocuba and Alto Molocue.

At those places more extensive activities are being carried out which
characterize the first and second phases, with the construction of transmission
lines and their respective substations, including the final supervision of

the projects according to the work timetable set by the central organs of

the Ministry of Industry and Energy.

Thus, within the framework of the two first phases underway, there is the
extension of a Songo-Caia double line (practically completed at this time);
with reference to the Caia, Nocoadata, Quelimane and Mocuba line, it is a
single line in the implementation phase.

As for the Tete and Caia substations, the status of the civil construction

projects is considered relatively positive, almost 90 percent having already
been completed.

The Nocoadala substation will be ready by the end of this year even taking the
development of some civil construction projects into account. In the case

of Mocuba, the projects are 70 percent completed and their installation and
final supervision phase are being implemented at the present time.

According the the project timetable, the period for the completion of this
vast activity is scheduled for the end of December but there is still the
possibility of extending it in order to compensate for the interruptions
caused by the constant torrential rains that hit Zambezia Province.

Coordination of the Phases

It is evident that in the course of the implementation of the Center-North
Line one may note a likeness, which can be considered useful as regards the
utilization of ‘our material and human resources.

However, their characteristics are different since the work is being carried
out according to a previously programmed timetable.

Thus, a specific time period was set for implementation of the second phase
with the doubling of the Caia-Mocuba transmission network and later, already
in the following and third phase, with the implementation of the Caia-Luabo-
Marromeu draft project, with the doubling of the Caia station.

Finally, in the later period, the so-called fourth phase is going to be
implemented, which includes extension of the Alto Molocue, Burue and Cuamba
network, with substations under construction in Nampula, Angoche, Ocua,
Pemba and Montepuez.

cils from building conventional
housing units and tried to
encourage home ownership
resulting in the mushrooming
of shanty townships.

The minister hit out at the
Zambia National Union of
Teachers (ZNUT) whose offi-
cials described him as
“retrogressive’’ for —_ the
remarks he made on the
housing mortgages offered to
teachers by managing director
of ZNBS Mr Simon Mwewa.

Mr Hapunda had said that
Mr Mwewa’s offer would not
give a lasting solution to the
teachers’ housing problem and
what was needed was a loan
to help build conventional
houses.

Yesterday, Mr Hapunda
maintained that housing
‘mortgages would not provide a
lasting solution to the problem
and described it as *‘cosme-
tic”.

It took a long time for an
individual to complete a house
on a mortgage adding: “‘It
can even take two or three
years for a minister, who is in
a privileged position to build a
house on mortgage."”

He wondered how ‘“‘all of a
sudden”, the housing mort-
gages could be a lasting
solution when it had always

4700/1935

been there for all Zambians.
“Is it new now because it has
been given publicity?”

Administratively, he said
the houses buiit on mortgages
would present ‘‘very serious
problems” to the ministry
which would find it difficult
to transfer teachers.

“Apart from being a pro-
blem to extract a housing
mortgage from the society
especially for lowly paid
teachers houses built on mort-
gages would cease to benefit
the ministry once the owner
died or was transferred.

“But I am making my-
self very clear. As Mini-
ster of Education I have no
right to stop a teacher from
building a house on mortgage.
What 1 am saying is that it
can’t provide a lasting solution
to the teachers’ housing
problem.”

Asked to comment on the
minister’s remarks Mr Mwewa.
yesterday declined to say
anything and referred all
enquiries to his martgages
manager Mr Patrick Lungu
“whom I have given all the
details’’.

Mr Lungu confirmed that
he was compiling a list of
teachers who wanted to secure
mortgages.

THE Ministry of Trade has
taken measures to clear potatoes
reported to be piled up in Iringa
Region, the Commissioner for
International Trade, Ndugu S.
Mwambu. said in Dar es Salaam
‘yesterday.

Immediate negotiations would
be undertaken with  Iringa
regional authorities on the
setting up of more than six
potatoe selling centres in

jjombe, Makete and Iringa
districts as part of the measures.

Company and the General
Foods Company (GEFCO), the
main buyers of the Irish

tatoes, will collect the crop
From the centres on a specific
schedule. GEFCO is based in

produce to the centres for speedy
selling to the two companies. he
added,

Ndugu Mwambu said the two
companies would at the same
time be duty bound to arrange
transport for — the potatoes to
their regions while the Iringa
regional authorities would
ensure the servicing and
availability of diesel for the
vehicles ferrying the potatoes.

The commissioner further said
that TAZARA _ authorities
would be approached for the
possibility of allocating more
wagons to collect the potatoes
from Chimara Makete District
and Makambaku in Njombe.

A Shihata dispatch from Iringa
early this week said that the
Iringa Regional authorities were
seeking. markets for 55,290
tonnes of Irish potatoes.

To this end, the two delegations proposed a series of interrelated measures

on beaconing and hydrographic studies. With regard to dredging operations,

the two sides agreed the work is proceeding well and in accordance with pre-
vious instructions.

The participants in the seventh meeting of the joint commission decided to
hold their next meeting 12-19 December in Luanda.

Toward Real Improvement of Navigation in the Sea-Level Portion of the Zaire?

The sea-level portion of the Zaire River, the furthest downstream link in the
national transportation system as well as its "gateway," is much more easily
and safely navigable than in the past, said the president-general delegate
of the RVM.

In fact, thanks to the active cooperation between Zaire and Angola as well as
to its own efforts, the Shiplines Administration has increased the load-draught
capacity of the segment from 22 feet in 1977 to 30 feet in March 1982, the
greatest increase in depth since 1960.

These results were made possible by the establishment of a dredging system
called "directed dredging" in the rambling region of the maritime stretch
“downstream from Boma, and by the permission given the Administration to
dump the dredgings in Angolan waters and on Angolan shores."

Reactivating the beacon lights on both sides of the maritime stretch has
made it possible to reopen the segment to nighttime navigation between Boma
and Banana, which was interrupted in 1977.

With respect to protecting the improvements, the RVM is scheduled to get, as
part of the Mobutu Plan, a suction force-pump which will not only increase in
dredging capacity but will also be able to straighten out the winding stretches
of the portion of the navigation channel in the waters of the rambling

region of the maritime stretch.

The RVA has also planned to purchase a dredger with grappling capability,
which is needed for the cleaning out of the ports of Banana, Boma and Matadi.

ALL-AFRICA MEDICAL SCHOOL PLANNED

Harare THE HERALD in English 6 Sep 82 p 1

[Article by Davison Maruziva]

cso:

INTER-AFRICAN AFFAIRS"

FREE Africa could soon have its first medical school for post-graduate
students if recommendations made in Harare last week are pursued by

all African
ments.

govern-

‘he plan was put for-
ward by the 18-year-old
Association of Medical
Schools in Africa
(AMSA), which held a
conference for the first
time in Harare last week.

The association's presi-
dent, Nigerian Professor
Adesanya Ige Grillo, said
after the conference that
if the task of raining

tgraduate medical ‘stu-
Jents was left to individ-
ual countries, some would
not be able to afford it.

“Ig a country had to
wait to do this, even the
few young doctors it had
would be forced to leave
for Europe. Instead the
decision to set up an all-
Africa medical training
centre will enable the
young doctor to train ia
an environment which
takes the needs of the
continent into account.”

The establishment of the
training centre, Professor
Grillo said, would. stim-

4700/1948

ulate the development of
better medical education
in Africa.

“As far as AMSA 1s
concerned, it wants to
push ahead with the es-
tablishment of a medical
training centre for Afri-
ca soon. The details will
go to the World Health Or-
ganisation, which . will
make the appropriate
modifications and submit
them to the governments
of African countries.”

AMSA's recommenda-
tions on undergraduate
education say that the role
of African medical schools
and health science cen-
tres in achieving health
for all by the year 2000 is
to seek to involve medical
students in working in
communities.

“They should be acti-
vely involved from their
early twining ia the col-
lection and analysis of
data from communities,
Such data should be used
for action in health care
programmes,” Professor

Grillo safd.

Medical students, it had
been agreed, should learn
skills of communicating
with other health workers

from the beginning of
their courses.
Professor Grillo said

that medical students
learnt best through prac-
tice and that the opera-
tion of an effective prim-
ary health care programme
would therefore be only.
done on the defined health
needs of the community.

On postgraduate medical
training, it had been
recommended that to avoid
a medical brain drain. and
unprofitable investment,
governments and aca:
governmental bodie
should not encourage spe-
cialisation abroad.
Recommendations _on
research had resolved that
medical schcols and
health institutions should
actively pursue research
that had relevance to the
health needs of Africa,

ducing enough food for
the country and the
SADCC region.

Cde Banda sald that the
truck whicl dumped
their load outside, would
take his staff of 45 men
less than 30 minutes to
unload.

‘They were handling
about 1000 bags of grain

taken in 286084 baga ac-
cording to figures entered

-were that this year they

were going to exceed the
513.345 bags taken in at
the depot last year.

But Cde Banda felt that
if they had a welghbridge
scale they could speed up
the process.

Senator Moyo said his
main fear was that the
rains had already started
and this would damage
any grain left outside,

Cde Banda said that he
had =mnde “seven big
extensions” to the depot.
There would be a crisis If
sufficient tarpaulins to
cover the 800.000 hags al-

“Right now,” Cde Banda

said, “I do not have any
tarpaulins to cover the
grain here, J asked my

head office and was told
that they did not have
any.

“I have rome left from
Jat year but_ my main
worry Ja what to do If the
rains come pouring down
today.”

Problem number two, he
sald, was how to further
expand the depot if this
year’s grain remains there
as happened last year.

Senator Moyo sald that
things at the depot only
improved after the Prime
Minister visited it and
heard the grievances of
the people in the area.
There was need for a high
level Goterriment — deleg-
ation to visit the area this
year to ensure that opera-
tions at the centre were
speeded up.

He also felt that. per-
haps more people should
be employed to ensure all
the grain was delivered
before the onset of the
rains,



INDONESIAN AGREEMENT SIGNED--INDONESIA and Tanzania have agreed to form a tech-
nical co-operation team, consisting of highly trained personnel in marine
services, to be assigned to the Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) and the
Tanzania Harbours Authority (THA). The Minister for Communications and Trans-
port, Ndugu John Malecela, told reports on arrival from Jakarta, Indonesia,

on Friday that an agreement to effect the co-operation team was signed in
Jakarta last Thursday. The minister, who returned to Dar es Salaam on Friday
night statedthat the team would carry out pilotage and other related duties

in THA, rendering advisory services in the development management, and improv-
ing the organisation and administration of ports.- The team would also carry
out the management operation and maintenance of TRC vessels on the Tanzanian
lakes. Training of local personnel in the field of operation and maintenance
of the vessels would also be undertaken. Ndugu Malecela said Indonesia had
agreed to train Tanzanian personnel in the field of management, operation,
maintenace of Tanzania shipping and harbour activies including hydrographers
and on-the-job training in the field of aircraft maintenance, computer appli-
cation and management services. [Text] [Dar es Salaam SUNDAY NEWS in English

GOLD MINING COOPERATIVE TO OPERATE IN MAKAHA

Harare THE HERALD in English 8 Sep 82 p 1

4700/1950

A GOLD mining co-operative for ex-combatants
in Makaha, Mutoko, is set to start operating on

Monday, a spokesman

said yesterday.

The co-operative is made
up of 65 former Zanla men
aged between 18 and 22
years old, The initiative
for the project came from
the Mining Commission,
which received informa-
tion from the people in
Mutoko that there were
good prospects for gold
mining in the Makaha
District.

An investigation by the
Mining Commission con-
firmed this and the infor-
mation was passed on to
ZANU_ (PF)'s  head-
quarters.

‘The co-operative’s secre-
tary for production, Cde
Sam Muzaminda, said the
$5000 capital to start the
scheme, and equipment
worth $16000, had been
Joaned by the Ministry of
Mines. The repayment
terms had still to be
worked out.

In addition, the members
had decided to inject
$3 000 of their demobilisa-
tion pay into the co-
operative.

All members of the pro-
ject were formerly unem-

103

ployed, their education
had been interrupted by
the war. They had been
selected at the ZANU
(PF) provincial level.

Cde Kennedy Chiminy,
assistant administrative
secretary at the party's
offices in  Machipisa,
Harare, said most of those
chosen were people with
previous mining experience.

The treasurer of the
co-operative, Cde Amos
Musvipa (22), worked
part-time in a Chegutu
mine during his school
holidays before crossing
the border imto Mozam-
bique in 1978.

“Although I was not
able to continue with my
education, it is a conso-

“lation that I can use my
skills now,” he said.

The slump in mineral
prices did not worry the
men.

“What is important is
that most of the men who
were unemployed have
been given a chance to
work. Our aim is to secure
our future and that of our
children. The price of gold
will rise one day,” Cde
Muzaminda said.

NIEC MAKES PRE-TAX PROFIT DURING FISCAL YEAR 1981/1982

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 4 Sep 82 p 1

4700/1935

THE National Import and Export Corporation group
of companies made a pre-tax profit of more than K9
million during the 1981/82 financial year.

Chairman Mr Ignatius Mu-
changwe says in a report
released yesterday that the
K9.3 million was an increase
from the K6.6 million made
the previous year.

This was an impressive perfor-
mance in view of the poor
state of the economy.

“The foreign exchange situa-
tion deteriorated and_ the
anticipated recovery of the
country’s economy did not
materialise. In real terms,
the growth rate for the
economy in 1981 in terms of
Gross Domestic Product was
an insignificant 0.7 per cent.

“After adjustments for
adverse terms of trade, the
growth rate in 1981 was
probably negative. Inflation
is unofficially estimated at
between 15 and 20 per

- cent.”

He painted a bleak business
outlook for Zambia saying
the foreign exchange situa-
tion was likely to worsen.

Mr Muchangwe urges the
group's management and
workers at all levels not to
get discouraged but to
redouble their efforts to
boost services to the public.

On the group’s turnover for
the year under review, he
says this was K212.6 million
as compared to only K187.2
million the previous year.

The figures excluded inter-
company sales within the
group which amounted to
K8 million and K12 miliion
respectively.

Giving the breakdown of the
group's operations, he says
it had 122 retail outlets and
41 wholesale depots through-
out the country.

nounced the details of the issue. It consists of four different loans. The
first loan is for a period of 5 years and carries a rate of 16,0 percent.

The loan will be issued at par and the yield of the loan will also be 16,0
percent. The second loan is for a period of 11 years and will also be issued
at par. The yield of this loan is 15,40 percent. The third loan is also

a considerable strain on the financial resources of the university. The costs
of research facilities had sky-rocketed during recent years and the salaries
of both academic and administrative staff had increased considerably. He

BOURGEOIS ACTIVITIES SEEN FACTOR IN LOWER LIVING STANDARD
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portugues 25 Aug 82 p 3
[Editorial by Machado de Graca: "Combat Against Bourgeoisie"]

[Text] The party leadership has decided to intensify its battle against the
bourgeoisie in our country, particularly in the city of Maputo, against the
already existing bourgeoisie and against those who daily attempt to begin
their career of exploiting the people. The workers were alerted to this
combat in a recently published document from President Samora Machel.

The gravity of the problem is apparent to all of us in our daily lives. Even
a superficial examination of our economic situation indicates that there is
a great deal of money in circulation in relation to the goods we produce and
those we can import. Hence the rise in many prices. Hence the speculation
and profiteering.

This situation has a different effect on those who live on the product of
their labor and those who live off the profits of business activities.

Our country's legislation, specifically Decree No 4/80, seeks to introduce
a first correction in the abovementioned imbalance, regulating wages,
promotion of workers and wage increases. It is one of the apsects of the
policy which should be complied with.

The other aspect is control--equally strict--of the prices of products that
reach the market, and very strict control to see that all the products which
are present capabilities permit reach the market.

The law against crimes that harm our economy and the offensive against
speculation are some of the basic items in this second aspect.

It is the responsibility of popular vigilance and the state law enforcement
agencies to see that this second aspect is implemented and, in a general way,
the first aspect as well.

Otherwise, we will see prices continue to rise as a result of speculation,

profiteering and excessive profits which, if not illegal, are certainly
immoral.

NATAL UNIVERISTY HOSTS DETENTION, SECURITY CONFERENCE

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 17 Sep 82 p 9

(Text ]

DURBAN. — Any de-
tainee’s confession pro-
duced under conditions
of solitary confinement
was “hopelessly
tainted” and no modern
court of law should ever
accept it, an internat-
ionally renowned psy-
chiatrist, Dr _ Louis
West, said in Durban
yesterday.

He was speaking at the
detention and security
legislation conference be-
ing held at the University
of Natal.

Dr West, who has stu-
died the psychological ef-
fect of solitary confin-
ment on prisoners for 30
years, described these ef-
fects as DDD — debility,
dependency and dread.

Debility involved the
physical wearing down of
detainees through meth-
ods such as sleep depriva-
tion. This generally in-
duced misperceptions of
reality and extreme sug-
gestibility. -

The process by which
the prisoner began to de-
pend on the interrogator
began. almost immedi-
ately he said, especially if
the prisoner were isolated
from others.

“The prisoner will be
forced to identify with his
captor as he is the only
person with whom he can
communicate,” Dr West
said.

Feelings of dread were

induced in many ways.
These included the fear of
permanent incarceration,
the threat of physical in-
jury and concern for
loved ones outside the
prison.

Against this back-
ground, Dr West said, in-
duced confessions were
always unreliable unless
“they can be substan-
tiated by objective physi-
calevidence.

“It is possible for the
captor to create an elab-
orate tissue of lies and de-
ceit out of absolutely
nothing by inducing a
confession from a detai-
nee in this way,” Dr West
said.

Symptoms of _ stress
were also listed by Dr
Graham Tyson of the
Witwatersrand University
Psychology School, when
he addressed the confer-
ence.

They were psychologi-
cal effects of detention
which included delusions,
hallucinations, insomnia,
withdrawal, difficulties in
concentration and depres-
sion.

Dr Tyson said the pshy-
chological response to de-
tention was basically the
same as the response of
other very stressful situa-
tions such as motor acci-
dents, combat, rape or

43

prisoner-of-war camps.

The level of stress re-
sulting from solitary con-
finement was increased
by ignorance, little of no
Preparation and unex-
pected sequences of even-
ts.

Being kept in isolation
was also extremely
stressful, he said, because
fear and uncerzainty cre-
ated a need for the com-
pany of friends who
would be able tu help the
detainee cope.

Dr Tyson said reports
of detainees showed they
had experienced feelings
of intense fear, helples-
ness, loss of control and
threat of annihilation.

Even detainees who
had been released still
showed classic _ stress
symptoms, including re-
experiencing the event, a
numbing of responsive-
ness to or involvement in
the outside world, insom-
nia, difficulties in concen-
tration and depression.

Ex-detainees could also
suffer from changes in
their physical health, he
said.”



SOUTH AFRICA

DECLINE OF TABLE BAY HARBOR LAMENTED
Johannesburg RAND DAILY MAIL in English 30 Aug 82 p 9

[Text] TABLE BAY harbour, one of South Africa's major ports and once a lively
Tavern of the Seas of international repute on one of the busiest of ocean
routes, has been reduced to a ghost of its former self--by radically changed
trends in shipping and cargo operations and by depressed economies around

the globe.

The effects of long spells of near-emptiness in a large part of the harbour
that once bustled with the colourful comings and goings of passenger and cargo
liners from all parts of the world, have been felt throughout the economy

of the Western Cape.

And it has changed the social and business character of Cape Town--in which
the harbour was once a pivotal point--in much the same way as the removal

a decade ago of the once-thriving cinema district in the St George's/Riebeeck
street area turned Cape Town into a dead city by night.

The general public are becoming less and less a part of the harbour scene,
and in spite of the efforts of conservationists and others, no move has yet
been made by the authorities to return to the public of Cape Town some of
the considerable expanse of the Table Bay shoreline that has been devoured
by harbour developments over the years.

The fall-off in shipping has hit helicopter and launch services, ship-chand-
lers and other maritime-oriented businesses particularly badly, and because
there are fewer sailors spending less time in port, activity at seamen's clubs
and homes--at least one of which may close soon--also reflect the slump.

The busiest part of the harbour is the relatively new seven-berth Ben Schoeman
Dock, which handles containerised cargo, while a greatly-reduced number of
break-bulk cargo vessels use the 11 commercial quays in the Duncan Dock, com-
pleted in 145 in a massive reclamation scheme.

Foreign fishing craft--mostly from the Far East~-are now among the main pa-

trons of the Duncan Dock, while the old Victoria Basin with its four commer~-
cial quays is also being used primarily by fishing interests.

the procurement of tools and building materials for the construction of a
new lighter as an integrated part of the training programme. The programme-
to be financed by the Norwegian International Development Agency (NORAD)--
would be a joint venture between THA and a Norwegian firm, Mantra A/S. The
NORAD is financing the expansion of the dry-docking facilities at the Dar

es Salaam port to enable it build small sea craft and service vessels of up
to 1,500 tonnes dead-weight. At a short ceremony at the Ministry of Finance
headquarters in the city, the Norwegian Ambassador to Tanzania, Mr. Ola Dorun,
signed the agreement on behalf of his country while the Deputy Principal Sec-
retary in the Ministry of Finance, Ndugu A.H. Mshangama, signed on behalf

of Tanzania. [Text] [Dar es Salaarm DAILY NEWS in English 8 Sep 82 p 1]

DAR ES SALAAM PORT PILEUP--OVER 800 tonnes of cargo worth millions of shillings
are piled up at the Dar es Salaam Port for over five years, something which
port officials have described as "failure by owners to collect them". The
goods include hoes, plough wheels, machinery and construction materials in-
cluding nails. The Port Operations Manager, Ndugu A.S. Lupatu, said yesterday
that the Tanzania Harbours Authority (THA) has decided to auction the goods
in a month's time if owners did not turn up to collect them. He said the
goods, some of which have been at the port since 1975, have been unclaimed,
resulting into storage problems at the port. "We have been moving these goods
from one place to another and they are now in a condition that owners cannot
be identified because labels are missing", he said. Ndugu Lupatu, however,
declined to give estimates of losses incurred by the Authority as a result

of such pile ups of inclaimed goods. He said advertisement reminding the
owners to collect the goods had been put up in Tanzania and Zambia, but nobody
had come forth for the goods. He said the Authority will auction the goods

to recover storage and customs duties. [Text] [Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in

ZANZIBAR FOREIGN LANGUAGE INSTITUTE--THE Zanzibar-based Institute of Kiswahili
and Foreign Languages has introduced course for interpreters and translators
as well as in Spanish and Portuguese languages. The institute's Academic
Officer, Dr. A. S. Nchimbi told Shihata in Zanzibar recently that the insti-
tute, which offers Kiswahili courses of higher standard and practical value

to local and foreign students, already imparts linguistic skills in English,
French and Arabic. So far, he said, the institute had trained nationals of
more than 20 countries as well as international organisations, including United
Nations personnel. Organisations whose personnel have been trained by the
institute include the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) and

the German, British, American, Danish, Finnish and The Netherlands volunteer
organisations, the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation and foreign diplomats
based in Tanzania. The institute was established in 1979 with the main ob-
jedctive of offering courses in major international languages. It also pro-
vides facilities for research in Kiswahili language and literature and works
to establish and foster closer co-operation with institutions of higher learn-
ing in and outside Africa to develop Kiswahili as an effective African lin-
guistic tool for international communication. [Text] [Dar es Salaam DAILY

Parents who are not in favour of this decision would be allowed to withdraw

she opened a workshop of Akan Orthography for tutors in higher institutions
in Accra.

The workshop was organized by the National Consultative Council for Ghanaian
Language (NCCGL) under the theme "Unified Akan Orthography."

Giving her address in flawless Fanti, she explained that the Government's
decision was necessary for a link-up between the children generations since
it will help to gather wisdom, information about the past and present and
communicate easily and better with their own people.

Before the programme is launched, she said, the Government would ensure that
there were competent teachers and enough books to carry through the programme.

She regretted that though the Ghana Institute of Languages did not teach a
single Ghanaian language informative materials written in the local languages
had all vanished from the markets.

For a meaningful implementation of solid language policy, Ms Ata~Aidoo called
on the Ghana Publishing Corporation to exhume all the scripts on Ghanaian
languages and publish them as a matter of urgency.

In his welcome address, the chairman of the NCCGL, Owura Kwadwo Opare,
suggested that Ghanaian languages should be presented for the Common Entrance
and Middle School Leaving certificate examination to change the negative
attitude towards the subject.

NEW MINE DISPUTE DECLARED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 14 Sep 82 pp 1, 2

{Article by Jentje Knuppe]

[Text]

THE Mine Surface Of-
ficials’ Association
(MSOA) has declared a
dispute with the
Chamber of Mines over
the payment of annual
increases and intends
taking the matter to the
Industrial Court.

The dispute is the sec-
ond to be declared by the
MSOA in less than two
months and centres on a
decision by the chamber
to delay this year’s annual
increment for compulsory
MSOA members by a
month.

Compulsory members
of the association — who
constitute about 90 per-
cent of the MSOA’s
stronz7 — Were granted
an annual increase of 13
percent with effect from
July 1 this year, a month
after the increment date
for voluntary members
and members offthe
Underground —Official’s
Association and the SA
Technical Official Asso-
cation.

The MSOA believes
the discrepancy in dates
amounts to unfair labour
Practice by the chamber
and has filed an applica-
tion with the Department
of Manpower for the ap-
pointment of a concilia-
tion board as a first step
towards taking the case to

51

the Industrial Court.

The application was
made on August 31 and,
in terms of labour legis-
lation, the chamber has
until tonight to forward
its reply to the application
to the department.

By late yesterday it had
not advised the Divisional
Inspector of Manpower in
Johannesburg of its com-
ments but a spokesman
for the chamber said this
would be done before the
deadline.

Explaining the
MSOA’s position yester-
day, the association’s gen-
eral Secretary, Mr Rob-
bie Botha, said the
withholding of annual in-
creases to compulsory
members of his organisa-
tion was an act of “chas-
tisement” and “vindic-
tiveness” on the part of
the chamber.

The MSOA first de-
clared a dispute with the
chamber on July 1 after
wage negotiations ended
in deadlock. The associa-
tion had found the
chamber’s offer of a 9
percent annual pay in-
crease unacceptable.

On July 8, after the
chamber granted Council
of Mining Unions mem-
bers a 12 percent in-
crease, the MSOA was

spares manufacturing potential with a view to
bringing together all the innovative minds and en-
couraging them to make good ideas on manufac-
turing substitute components locally.

And MMMTC, expressly established to become one
of the nuclei of the country’s basic industries, just
about provides the most conducive environment for
the purpose.

Therefore, every effort must be made to realise
the tremendous potential existing at Mang/ula, en-
suring that it is properly manned, its services are
made known to all concerned and its products must
find use in our needy firms.

(tm this way, Mang’ula will become more than a
mere landmark on the Great Uhuru Railway. It must
help in the internal efforts towards economic
rehabilitation and self-sufficiency.

In Pemba, expansion of the thermal power station will make it possible to
expand the current capacity, which is 3 megawatts, through the installation
of two electric generators of 2 magawatts each, burning heavy fuel.

This undertaking, which is estimated at approximately 150 million meticals,
will contribute to the economic development of Cabo Delgado Province.

The electric generator units to be installed come mounted on platforms

to facilitate being moved to any other place in the country as soon as Pemba
benefits from the energy of the Cahora Bassa hydroelectric plant through
the Genter-North Line.

Expansion of the Nacala power station, whose nine generator groups are also
mounted on platforms for the same purpose, will permit the centralization of
electric energy production in that coastal city, thus seeking to conserve the
scarce available human and material resources, in combination with the
implementation of the Nacala-Monapo-Nampula line.

Cahora Bassa Energy Distribution
Beira DIARIO DE MOCAMBIQUE in Portuguese 19 Aug 82 pp 8-9

[Text] The Center-North Line, which represents the backbone of the Cahora
Bassa power distribution network, is the largest and most modern electric
transmission system in all of Africa, in the opinion of Engineer Ronaldo
Lyrio Borgo, director of the office of the project underway, the headquarters
of which is in Quelimane, the capital of Zambezia. The project is going to
guarantee high-tension electrification to supply enterprises of great economic
importance including industrial, agricultural and mining units (some underway,
others still under study) and to improve the efficiency and capacity of the
port and railroad systems of the People's Republic of Mozambique.

That director told our reporters that the equipment to be utilized for the
construction of both the transmission line and the respective substations is
regarded as modern in almost all the world, capable of maintaining a more
economical, renewable energy in a useful life of more than 50 years although
the investments are extremely high.

According to the same source, in the long term, the Center-North Line project
will guarantee the continuity of electricification without costly expenditures
while the present thermal power stations in the provinces consume an
astronomical quality of fuel, in addition to the fact that they expend foreign
exchange as imports.

Projects
At the present time, all the projects included in the Center-North Line are
being coordinated through an executive office which, as we mentioned earlier,

has its headquarters in Quelimane, where all the consortium associates
participating in the project are gathered.

23



According to earlier reports, the line from Mufindi to Mbeya required at least
some 230m/-.

SAE of Italy was earlier earmarked for the laying of the 220 kilovolt line
to Mbeya and a substation at Mbeya. The main consumer of power at Mbeya would
be the Mbeya cement factory, with a capacity for 250,000 tonnes a year.

The national power grid has been formed as part of the strategy to lessen de-
pendency on diesel-generated electric power.

Meanwhile, Ndugu Mosha said in Mang'ula yesterday that the Mang'ula mechanical
and machine tools complex and Ifakara township would get electric power next
February.

At a joint meeting between the TANESCO management and the complex authorities,
Ndugu Mosha said his own company would supply electricity from Kidatu power
station.

The general manager of the complex, Ndugu Lucas Mkoka had said that the Man'gula
workshop would double production of industrial spare parts and other machines
if it had enough power.

MINISTER NOTES INCREASE IN NUMBER OF SQUATTERS

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 4 Sep 82 p 1

[Excerpt]

THE number of people living
in squatter areas in Tan-
zania’s towns has increased
from 750,000 to 900,000 over
the last eight years, the
Minister for Lands, Housing
and Urban Development,
Ndugu Mustafa Nyang’anyi,
said in Dar es Salaam yester-
day. .

Ndugu Nyang’anyi said
10,000 squatter units were put
up in urban areas in 1980
alone. He told an inaugural
meeting of the Architectural

‘ Association of Tanzania

(AAT) that 45 per cent of
housing developments in Dar
es Salaam sheltering 60 per
cent of the city’s one million
population were squatters.

.The Minister challenged
the association to assist the
government in instituting
planned land development in
urban areas. The squatter
problem was also conspicuous
in Arusha, Tabora and Mbeya
towns, he explained.

He lamented that only 10
per cent of housing land

cso: 4700/1936

59

developments in the country
were undertaken by public in-
stitutions which applied ar-
chitectural services and other
technological ‘assistance from
Professional experts.

“The remaining 90 per cent
do not use the services of ar-
chitects either because of lack
of awareness or because the
fees involved are highly
prohibitive,” he said.

Ndugu Nyang’anyi said
AAT should influence ar-
chitects to reduce charges to
encourage more developers to
use their services.

“I am ‘told that ar.
chitectural fees are based.on
the total estimated cost of
construction.... the profit

motive must not override the:

need to make more people use
the service,” he pleaded.

He said the association
should also direct attention to
the rural areas * where -“ar-
chitectural services are not
mown” although most of the
country’s population is
housed there!

GDR TO PROVIDE MULTIFORM TRAINING TO 6,000 YOUTHS
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 23 Aug 82 p 10

[Text] "During the discussions, both parties indicated their desire to
expand cooperation in the area of professional training," Labor Secretary
Antonio Carvalho Neves told our reporters last Saturday, moments after the
signing of a working protocol for bilateral cooperation between our country
and the GDR.

"We signed a plan of activities for 1982," Neves said, "covering the
professional training of specialists in geological surveying, cement,
civil construction, electricity and automobile mechanics."

According to Neves, over 6,000 young people are now in the GDR for
professional training, 200 of whom are on scholarships granted by the GDR,
and the number of youths should be increased next year.

The signing of the protocol was the culmination of the discussions with a
GDR dlelgation led by the secretary of state for professional training, held
at the end of a visit to our country. The discussions were based on the
common assessment of bilateral cooperation by the joint economic commission's
subcommittee on professional training and manpower.

"We found a sincere and continuing commitment on the GDR's part to maintain
its cadres, both in an advisory and professional training capacity. Under

the terms of the cooperation, professional training centers will be established
in the textile, electrotechnical, mining and metalworking sectors," Neves

said.

Training centers will function in the companies themselves, and a need was
also seen to complete the training centers for electrical technology,
agriculture and the textile industry.

Meanwhile, 62 youths who have completed their courses will return to the
country next year, along with another group of about 400 who have been
temporarily employed in companies for practical training.

"The discussions went well and took place in a climate of mutual understanding,
in a cordial atmosphere in which each of us sought to understand the realities
in both our countries," Neves concluded.

dent Mr Alwyn Schlebusch, has denied that
any State institution has brought any press-
ure to bear on Professor de Crespigny to re-
sign from the President’s Council or leave the
country. .

Professor de Crespigny had informed him that
he had been forced to resign from the council
for “pressing personal and family reasons,”
Mr Schlebusch said.

The Minister of Constitutional Development,
Mr Chris Heunis, has stated that he knows
“nothing of any government action against
Professor de Crespigny”’. ;

However, newspapers at the weekend claimed
that the professor had been questioned by a
security agent only days before his sudden
flight. ;

A purported list of ANC members contained
the name “De Crespigny” followed by the
same initials and date of birth as the former
President’s Council member.

Professor de Crespigny has denied that he has
ever had radical Left-wing allegiances and
says he knows nothing of the alleged ANC
document.

He has also denied that he was ever a member
of the Congress of Democrats, though his
former wife, Caroline, joined the organisa-
tion some years after their divorce and was
detained for a period.

He also told a newspaper: “I know there ha-
been unending gossip about my departure,
including rumours that I worked for MI6, the
CIA or the KGB. I know nothing about
these agencies.”

Nevertheless, reports persist that Professor de
Crespigny was suspected of having been an
agent of MI6 and it was for this reason that
he was questioned by NIS.

Like our readers, we find it all mystifying.

For if Professor de Crespigny had any links
with the ANC or MI6, or had been suspect in
any other way, he should never have been
appointed to the President's Council.

If, on the other hand, fhe allegations about
him are part of a plot to discredit the Prime
Minister, the easiest thing would be for the
Government to put paid to all the rumours
by saying who Professor de Crespigny really
is, what his background is, and how much
faith the Government places in him.

As it is, there is a big question hanging over
Professor de Crespigny and the sooner the
matter is cleared up, to everyone's satisfac-
tion, the better.

For if the professor is not absolved of any in-
volvement in underground or spying activi-
ties, his presence in an influential position in
the President’s Council will reflect on that
body as well, :

And nobody wants that to happen. + «+ «+

RESERVISTS AIRBORNE--SOUTH African police reservists have taken to the air.
The officer in command of the reservists, Brigadier Manie van Zyl, said in
Pretoria yesterday there was great interest in the Air Wing of the Reservist
Force. He said 31 reservists were qualified pilots an 21 owned their own air-
craft--three of them helicopters. Since this wing was established some time
ago, the reservists had been used only to patrol highways over long weekends
when traffic was heavy, but it planned to use these aircraft in all fields

of [word illegible] prevention and [word illegible]. The progress of the Re—
servist Force had been astonishing since it was established in 1960 and 20 237
members had joined. More than 50 percent of them were active. Since it was
decided to recruit women and schoolboy reservists, 300 women and 480 juniors
had joined. In the Northern Transvaal, Witwatersrand, East Rand, West Rand and
Far North divisions, 3 572 active reservists had served at various police sta—
tions in April 1981, working a total of 387 940 hours or more than 16 000 man
days, Brigadier Van Zyl said. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English

USSR CONSUMER COOPERATIVE TRAINING
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 20 Aug 82 p 10

[Text] The USSR Central Union of Consumer Cooperatives [TSENTROSOYUZ] will
grant three scholarships to the National Coordinating Commission for Consumer
Cooperatives, admitting Mozambican cadres to the Faculty of Economics of

the Cooperative Institute of Moscow. The information came to us from an
official connected with the cooperative movement in our country.

According to the same source the scholarship grants are the result of
discussions in Moscow between a TSENTROSOYUZ delegation and a delegation from
the Mozambican National Coordinating Commission for Consumer Cooperatives.

A cooperation accord was signed at the conclusion of the discussions. Notable
among the various questions discussed was the annual assignment of 10
cooperativists to that socialist country to participate in a 10-month
training course.

TSENTROSOYUZ in responsible for coordinating the activities of the cooperative
unions of the 15 republics, and will assist its Mozambican counterpart in
the creation of a cadre training center.

"Under the terms of the accord, practical implementation of the signed
documents should begin in 1983 and continue for 2 years. It is also noted
that the two organizations should exchange information on the development
of the cooperative movements in the two countries," the official said.
Regarding support to cadre training, he added that "materials on methodology
and such will be sent for use in the training courses."

KAUNDA SAYS US-ZAMBIA RELATIONS NORMALIZED

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 1 Sep 82 p 1

[Excerpt]

4700/1935

THE relations between Zam-
bia and the United States
which ,were strained last
year have now been norma-
lised, President Kaunda
said in Lusaka yesterday.

He did not elaborate, but it
was a reference to last
year’s incidents which led to
‘Zambia declaring two Ame-
rican diplomats persona
non-grata.

American public atfairs officer
and director of the then
International Communica-
tion Centre, now United
States Information Service
(USIS) Mr Michael O° Brien,
and first secretary for politi-
cal aftairs Mr John Finney
were told to leave the coun-
try tor their alleged involve-
ment in CIA activities.

‘Ihe President was speaking
when he received creden-
tials from new US ambassa-
dor to Zambia Mr Nicholas
Platt at State House.

America and Zambia should
now work together in har-
mony and ensure that the
Southern Atrican problems
were solved peacetully, Dr
Kaunda said.

President Kaunda said South-
ern Africa had problems of
immense dangerous pro-
portions and Namibia was a
source of conflict in the
region.

He reiterated his appeal to
the Reagan administration
to help in finding a quick

solution to the Namibia
problem as the US was the
most influential member of
the Western contact group
of five,

If forces of peace coordinated
their efforts, it would be
easier to reach a solution
acceptable to all and he
warned that time was run-
ning out.

On the rural development, the
President said most Zam-
bians were peasants and the
Party and its Government
was determined to improve
their standard of living.

In reply, Mr Platt said he had
personally been involved in
finding a solution to the
Namibia problem over the
years and was deeply in-
terested in its success.

He said while in Zambia he
would do everything to
strengthen cordial relations
between Lusaka and Wash-
ington.

He promised to follow the
course initiated by his prede-
cessor Mr Frank Wisner
and continue to secure US
aid for Zambia particularly
for agricultural develop-
ment.

Zambia and the US have
worked out food aid, com-
modity imports, and assist-
ance to help develop Zam-
bia’s planning, research,
extension and marketing
capabilities.

IMPACT OF BREAD PRICE HIKE ON POOR BLACKS REPORTED

Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 15 Sep 82 p 4

[Editorial]

[Text]

IN TIMES of depression, the poorer
sections of the community are hit
hardest, but there is no reason for
officials to give specious reasons for
some of the measures, which are
purely discriminatory, that they
effect.

This is today strikingly being
illustrated here with the hike in the
price of bread and the introduction
of legislation that is going to lead to
black people feeling the brunt.

Bread is a staple food for many
poor people — white or black. Still,
more blacks are in that portion of
the population that will suffer most.
Many elderly people, pensioners
and children, both sickly and
healthy, are going to suffer. Most of
our school-going children eat bread
at lunch-time and in the rural areas
malnutrition has been staved off
because bread was cheap and filling.
Now this is to change.

There is a welcome and even
heartening outcry from masses of
people who can see the cruelty in
these measures, particularly after
the recent shock increase in General
Sales Tax (GST). _-

A member of the Black Sash
reports in today’s paper (page 2)
that thousands of black pensioners
could spend about a quarter of their
R40-a-month income on bread after
the increases, That leavés them with
next to nothing to fight through two

40

months.

In Durban it is reported that the
increase in the bread price would
cause the malnutrition rate to go up.

Doctors there will ask Cabinet
Ministers to stop this increase from
going ahead in a desperate move to
prevent a sharp rise in malnutrition
deaths. With two babies dying from
malnutrition every day at Durban's
King Edward VIII hospital, doctors
fear this figure will soar drama-
tically when the price of bread goes
up.

So the poor and the underfed will
not only suffer but actually die from
deprivation. That is cause enough to
stop officials from going on with this
move, at least at this time.

In the meantime, Mr John
Knoetze of the West Rand
Administration Board has made a
startling admission concerning the
board’s ‘forced decision to stop
migrant workers from changing
jobs in this area. Mr Knoetze
blamed this inhuman act on the
present recession, a specious kind of
adniission that needs to be im-
mediately shot down.

In the first place, the workers
cannot be made to suffer because of
the country’s poor economic

: performance. ‘In the second place, ~

labour will always be needed in
urban areas. even if jobs are scarce



With regard to Angola, one should note the visits made by Governor Mandungu
to the province of Moxico.

During this trip, the two governors--Chinyama and Mandungu--accompanied by
their staff were above all searching for ways and means to arrive at an
eternal alliance of peace between their two provinces, and thus between the
countries of Angola and Zaire.

Thus the bridge of that peace which must exist between Angola and Zaire has
been firmly built.

However, it is important for those relations to take the form of broad

cooperation in every domain, in order to consolidate the peaceful relations so
sincerely desired by both sides.

and thousands of workers, especially blacks, are facing large-scale unem-
ployment. Mrs Nicholson said that when the new prices came into effect black
pensioners would be the "hardest hit" because the money they got from the
Government would "just make it impossible for them to live." The pensioners
could find themselves spending R10 a month just on bread, she said. "The
effect on their health will be devastating,” she said. She said that when
one considered that these pensioners also paid house rentals, fed and clothed
their children and had to face the escalating cost of living, it was "just
unthinkable" how they were going to manage. Other consumers interviewed on
the price hike have said that it would affect their budgets drastically.

SRC DECISION SOUGHT--THE executive of the Pretoria University Students
Representative Council - due to meet last night--is now expected to meet to-

non-Whites to the campus. It ws learnt yesterday that there is growing anger
among conservative students at the university over the "stalling" of the SRC
to ratify the second main motion accepted at last week's mass protest meeting
of students. This motion, put by conservative students, accepts the admission
of students of other races--but as an "interim measure" and demands a reassur-—
ance that the university will once again become Whites only when alternative
tertiary education facilities become availabe for the non-White students.

BPC FOUNDER IN COURT--A WELL-KNOWN Johannesburg articled clerk, Mr Chris Modo-
ditoa, yesterday made a brief appearance before a magistrate on a charge of
being in possession of banned literature. Mr Mokoditoa appeared with Mrs
Mayttah Rachidi, wife of the banned former leader of the Black Peoples’ Con-
vention (BPC). Both were arrested at their homes in Soweto by the Security
Police early yesterday morning. The two spent most of the day sitting in

the court corridors while the police tried to arrange a court-room for them.
They were only called into the dock late in the afternoon and the case was
postponed to November 10. Mr Mokoditoa is a founder member of the BPC and

was the vice-president until it was banned in 1977. Mr Mokoditoa was also
secretary-general of the Univeristy Christian Movement (UCM), which has now
disbanded. UCM gave birth to the South African Students’ Organisation (Saso),
which was also banned by the Government in 1977. Mr Mokoditoa was banned

in 1973 and spent seven years as a listed person. He was refused permission
by the Government to work for a company of lawyers, Shun Chetty and Associates,
while serving his banning order. [Text] [Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 15 Sep

FRG FURNISHES GEOLOGICAL LAB
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 12 Aug 82 p 9

[Article by Nsenga Mopepe: "Fruit of FRG-Zaire Cooperation: The Republic
of Zaire Receives a Laboratory for Geological Analysis"]

[Text] The FRG has just turned over to the Republic of Zaire a laboratory
for geological analysis. The handing over and acceptance by the FRG and
Zaire thus mark the official completion of the execution of the terms of the
5-year convention signed by the two countries. The convention expired on

1 July 1982.

By the terms of the convention, the Zairian laboratory was put in the hands of
German experts, who were first of all to equip it with geological equipment
and chemical products, and then to train the young technicians from the uni-
versity in applied geological research.

To carry out the training of the young Zairian university technicians
(training which cost a total of DM 2,674,000), several missions were carried
out in Bas-Zaire, [lower Zaire] in which German experts carried out prospect~
ing of the sulphide deposits of Bamba Kilenda, as well as certain minerals on
the outskirts of Kinshasa (this latter work was carried out at the behest of
the Marsavco, Brikin and Boukin firms). This prospecting involved exploring
for kaolin.

As a further part of the training, several scholarships were given to young
Zairian technicians desiring to specialize in chemistry or petrography.

Early in 1981, at the meeting of the Select German-Zairian Committee, the
Zairian Government had asked for a prolongation of the training provided
by the German Geological Service.

In addition the Zairian Government had asked the German experts to prospect

for nonferrous metals between the South-Kivu and the North-Shaba. This project
is of great importance, because it ds targeted on tin-bearing substances,

with the aim of discovering all the tin deposits capable of being exploited,
given the importance and strategic position this metal has on the world market.

European experts point out the apparent “disadvantages” of the mine
which is situated at a distance of 700 km from Dakar. The deposits,
estimated at 300 million tonnes, are also considered “modest”. They
recognise, however, that the ore is of “excellent quality” and that the
sums to be invested are “reasonable”. The Senegalese Minister adds that
the feasibility study which should allow for work to begin on the mines
should be ready by the end of the year.

The emphasis on-developing Senegals mineral sector is part of the
Government's plans to ‘‘diversify the economy which has depended
excessively on the agricultural sector”, said Hamidou Kane. Other
countries in the Sahel were probably following the same course, he
indicated. The Minister denied, however, that this could lead to
overproduction. “It is true that the iron ore market is not bright today,
but we have studies showing that the market should pick up towards the
end of the decade and be able to accommodafe Brazil and two or three

_-Sther iron ore projects in Africa”, he said.

MILL OPERATION PARALYZED--The CIMOR mill in Matala, whose principal activity
is the production of corn meal, is on the verge of being shut down due to a
shortage of raw material and bags. According to Nelson Lopes, state
representative of that joint production facility, with two-thirds of the
capital in the hands of the Angolan government, when there is a normal supply
of raw material and the mill is operating at full capacity, the CIMOR mill
could produce about 3,600 tons of corn meal per month. Nelson Lopes said
that domestic production of corn meal in no way uses all the productivity
capacity of the mill and, in addition, the facility is in need of an
independent system of electrical energy. This situation, he stressed, added
to the fact that of the 604 workers only 5 are qualified, is not making it
possible to fulfill the established production plans in the near future.
Meanwhile, it is to be noted that the CIMOR mill has been in operation for
about 2 years on an experimental basis. [Text] [Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA

BANKING NEEDS COMPETITION, SAYS HORWOOD

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 17 Sep 82 p 21

[Text]

HONG KONG. — The
Minister of Finance, Mr
Owen Horwood, yester-
day officially opened a
representative office of
the Trust Bank of Africa
in Hong Kong.

The opening function
was attended by promi-
nent businessmen and
banking communities of
Hong Kong.

In his address, Mr Hor-
wood referred to the ten-
dency for financial institu-
tions in South Africa to
“cluster together” in a
few large groups.

He stressed the con-
tinued importance of the
“independent banker.”
and the need for adequate

.competition -within the
banking system.

“As a sufficient num-
ber of independent
groups have emerged
from the rationalisation
process in South Africa,
there still exists a fair
measure of competition
and the formation ‘of
groups has created a more
sound and less vulnerable
financial system,” he
said.

The official attitude to-
wards banking develop-
ments in South Africa,
Mr Horwood said, was
consistent with the ge!
al philosophy of encovr-

cso0: 4700/1939

aging economic growth,
but always subject to the
requirement of proper fi-
nancial discipline.

Financial discipline
does not require prohibi-
tively restrictive controls
over the system. In South
Africa, the objective is to
create greater compe-
tition among _ financial
institutions within the
market place.

The abolition of the
ceiling method of credit
control, the lifting of de-
posit and other interest
rate controls and the lib-
eralisation of the foreign
exhange market in recent
years are examples of
steps taken by the author-
ities to encourage compe-
tition among the banks
and to improve the effec-
tiveness of the market
system.”

Mr Horwood said it re-
mained the objective of
the Government even-
tually to abolish exchange
controls applicable to
South African residents.

rapidly with this program-
me.

He expressed satisfac-
tion with the way in which
the South African spot
foreign exchange market
had developed over the
past two years.

The same progress has,
however, not been made
with the development of
the forward foreign ex-
change market and more
attention will now be fo-
cused on this area of the
market, “he said.

The more fiexible ap-
b ss to

South African banks en-
abled them to make an
important contribution
towards financing of the
country’s balance of pay-
ments deficit.

During the past 18
months,. Mr Horwood
said, they had borrowed
about $2-billion overseas
to supplement their
liquidity — an amount
they could raise with ease
because they had started
from a position of almost
“zero” foreign liabilities.

He said Foreign com-
mitments of South Afri-
can banks were still very

recently that 50 percent of the rural and city public transportation vehicles
in the province are not operating due to a shortage of spare parts, fuel,
batteries and tools. According to the provincial commissar of transportation
and communications, half of the 44 state vehicles in the province are totally
out of circulation, with the inter-city sector being hardest hit due to a
shortage of tires. "In this sector," Augusto Morais said, "the situation is
truly serious, since the production of the only company supplying tires

MUGABE'S DISENCHANTMENT WITH MEDIA EXAMINED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 15 Sep 82 p 6

{Article by Aida Parker]

[Text]

MR ROBERT Mugabe’s
love affair with the inter-
national media ‘is cer-
tainly fizzling out fast.
The first signal that the
initial ecstasy was begin-
ning to fade came in Feb-
ruary, when Dr Hans
Germani, Africa corre-
spondent for the giant
West German Axel
Springer publishing
house, was booted out of
Harare _and declared
“an enemy of the
people’’.

Dr Germani got clob-
bered on a number of
counts.

He had written a series
of articles exposing the
growing links between
Prime Minister Robert
Mugabe and the USSR.

He had presented facts
proving that the contin-
gent of North Koreans in
Zimbabwe was not just a
handful, as claimed, but
comprised 100 or more
military advisers and in-
structors, a matter the
Marxist Government ap-
parently wished to con-
ceal.

There was also dissatis-
faction about the fact that
he had sought an inter-
view with Mr Joshua
Nkomo, then still Minis-
ter of Home Affairs. For
this, he was accused of
“meddling” in domestic

Zimbabwean politics.

But the major accusa-

tion was that his disclo-
sures had embarrassed
the Zimbabwean Govern-
ment and it was probable
that these had caused the
complete cut-off of poten-
tial West German private
investment in the territo-
ry. ,
_ Then came a not-so-
subtle hint that should he
be prepared to play bail,
to co-operate, to disclose
his sources of informa-
tion, his case would re-
ceive more sympathetic
treatment. On refusal, he
was hastily hustled out of
the country, told never to
retum.

Next, in July, Dr Na-
than Shamuyarira, Minis-
ter of Information, an-
nounced that a
“blacklist” of foreign
journalists was being
compiled. This covered
correspondents consider-
ed to have “contributed
to the bad image of Zim-
babwe. .,. being projected
in some quarters of
Europe and America.”

Now, from this week,
comes the big clamp-
down: the announcement
of Soviet-style territorial
restrictions on newsmen,
under which foreign jour-
nalists will now be requir-

36

SOUTH AFRICA

ed to inform the Govern-
ment of any trips beyond
40 km of Harare and Bu-
lawayo.

This represents the
most severe restriction
yet imposed on free re-
porting in the new Marx-
ist state.

Undoubtedly, Zim-
babwe has earned some
exceptionally bad. expo-
sure over the past few
months. Examples:

Peter Taylor in the
London’ Sunday Tele-

h: “Zimbabwe —
Back to the Bad Old
Days? Increasing Unrest
in Mr Mugabe’s Troubled
Land.”

Jack Foisie in the Los
Angeles Times: “Zim-
babwe Faces Civil War
Threat. National Unity
Jeopardised by Widening
Mugabe-Nkomo Rift.”

Newsweek: “Zim-
babwe: On Brink of Re-
bellion.”

The influential Bavari-
an daily, Munchener
Merkur: “A New Hotbed
for War— Zimbabwe.”

Washington’s new con-
servative daily, the Wash-
ington Times: “The
Double Game of Mugabe
and his Soviet Advisers.”



Speculation begets speculation; for example, we see the prices in restaurants
rise to illegal levels on the pretext that they have also had to purchase
goods on the black market at illegal prices. At the end of this chain is
the nation's bourgeoisie, who have accumulated enough through these deals

to be able to pay the price demanded by their own class.

Those who live by their own labor, on a wage that is generally low and fixed,
daily witness more and more products and services exceed prices which they
can afford. In other words, they see their living standard declining.

Therefore, in an organized way and directed by the FRELIMO Party, we must
use the tools we already have--our laws, our police and inspection forces
and popular vigilance—-to force the bourgeoisie to stay within socialist
legality, thus preventing its unbridled growth, which can only be at the
expense of the exploited worker.

An I am certain that the workers do not wish to be exploited further.

GRAIN RUSH THREATENS SMALL FARMERS

Harare THE HERALD in English 9 Sep 82 p 1

[Article by Davison Maruziva]

[Text]

HUNDREDS of communal
farmers in Chipurlro could
lose a lot of money if
nothing is done. to enforce
strict regulations on grain
transporters, the area's
GMB depot manager, Cde
John Banda, said’ yester-
day.

Transporters were
being hired by the com-
munal farmers on con-
dition they would deliver
the grain direct to the
depot. But some  trans-
porters were — dumping
grain outside the depot
entrance and — waiting
some time before taking
it in, Cde Banda said in
an_interview,

Transporters were leav-
ing the bags outside, often
unattended, and rushing
back to pick up more
from the communal far-
mors because they wanted
to make more money.

While the move seems
to be aimed at increasing
the daily takings of the
transporters, Cde Banda
said that If the grain was
destroyed by ants, as hap-
pened last year when bags
were left outside for days,
or sonked wet by rains he-
cause they were un-
protected, the GMB was
not responsible.

“A lot of the gyain was
destroyed Inst year and
some of it became un-
acceptable. The GMB Is
not responsible for the
bags left lying outside he-
catise we make every ef-
fort to get in the maize,
soya beans and sorghum
brought to us dally. But

we cannot handle some-
thing left outside by
someone,” Cde Banda said

Senator Freddie Moyo
from the area said It ap-
peared that the communal
farmers were not aware
of the practice of the
transporters.

‘As a result of this dum-
ping, Senator Moyo sald,
bags were stolen or left to
rot. “Once the farmers
have pald the charges for
grain transport to the
depot they are not willing
to pay for it to be
returned because it has
been damaged while wai
ing to go. into the depot.

He said although there

were no figures to In-
dicate how many bags had
been left outside by the
transporters, the. com-
munal farmers had lost a
lot of money.

“There were many bags
dumped. and left. un-
attended for days or
over the weekends last
year, process s¢ems

again,” Senator Moyo
said.

Cde Banda sald that
they sometimes had long
queues of trucks, vans and
ox-driven carts delivering
grain to the depot, and
this took time to ‘clear,
But if the transporters
were patient there would
be no necd to dump bags
outside the depot.

LINE SUPPLYING POWER TO PAPER MILL TO BE COMPLETED NEXT MONTH

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 6 Sep 82 p1

[Article by Daniel Mshana]

[Text] THE 220-kilovolt transmission line from Kidatu, designed primarily
to supply power to the multi-million Mufindi pulp and paper mill now under
construction, is expected to be completed next month.

This was said here at the week-end by the Tanzania Electric Supply Company
(TANESCO) Managing Director, Ndugu S. Mosha, after an inspection tour of the
project.

Some 245 kilometres of the 280-kilometre route line have been completed.

The line to Mufindi is part of the south-west extension of the national elec-
tric power grid the hub of which is at Kidatu.

The extension includes supply of Kidatu hydro-electric power to Mbeya through
a line to be laid to Iringa, Mufindi and Mbeya.

Work on the south-west extension is financed by the African Development Bank
(ADB), the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Fund, the Com-
monwealth Development Corporation (CDC) and Italy.

The laying of the Kidatu-Mufindi line has been undertaken by a Yugoslav firm--
Energoinvest--of Sarajevo.

A West Germany company--Siemens--is building substations for the line at Kidatu,
Iringa and Mufindi. Each sub-station will have two transformers to be supplied

by a Swedish firm--Asean.

Ndugu Mosha said the substations were programmed to be completed next February,
the time when power would start flowing.

"The sub-station portion is seven months behind schedule due to financial dif-
ficulties", Ndugu Mosha said.

On the extension to Mbeya from Mufindi, he said the financial arrangements
were nearly complete and construction would start early next year.

MOZAMBIQUE

DANISH COOPERATION IN SHIP MAINTENANCE
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 20 Aug 82 p 10

[Text] Creation of ship maintenance centers in this country is currently
under study, our reporters have learned from circles linked to activity in
the sector. The study is being conducted by Danish technicians who recently
arrived in Mozambique for this purpose.

The purpose of creating naval maintenance centers in some provinces of the
country is to insure the repair of ships serving in the respective maritime
areas.

The current study is sponsored by the National Directorate of Sea and River
Transport. The Danish technicians are already in some of the coastal provinces
to observe and evaluate the existing [illegible] infrastructures in each of
the locations.

It is expected that the future naval maintenance centers could come to work
on other naval units from outside their respective maritime areas, according
to the needs and capacity of each center.

Because of the lack of properly equipped maintenance centers, many ships
serving various points on the Mozambican coast are currently out of operation.

The situation is further aggravated by the lack of spare parts and equipment
to supply the small maintenance shops at the country's various ports.

Sources linked to the maritime sector believe the future maintenance centers
will be installed in maritime administrations where small infrastructures
for this type of work are already in existence.

A technician in the sector allowed that the centers could be installed in

Maputo, Inhambane, Beira, Quelimane and, possibly, in Angoche, Nampula
Province.

TOBACCO BLACKMARKETEERING CAUSES ANNUAL LOSS TO GOVERNMENT

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 3 Sep

[Text]

cso

4700/1935

THE Government is losing
about K10 million worth of
tobacco through blackmar-
keteering every year, Tobacco
Board of Zambia (TBZ) com-
pany secretary Mr Victor
Mwaba said in Lusaka.

Mr Mwaba said about one
million kilogrammes of tobac-
co were being sold on the
black market annually and if
this crop was sold legally, the
Government could earn K10
million through duty charges.

If the same amount of
tobacco was exported, Zambia
would earn K2 million in
foreign exchange.

Mr Mwaba said the Govern-
ment had initiated plans to
make a cheap brand of tobacco
for the low income group as a
measure to curb the selling of
the crop on the black market.

He said the low income

82 p 4

earners preferred to buy tobac-

co from the black market
because of the cheap prices
compared to the manufactured
commodity.

If the low income group
could affort a cheap brand of
tobacco, black marketeering
could be curbed because they
were presently making the
illegal business lucrative.

The recently increased pro-
ducer prices of the crop for
next year was one of the steps
the State had taken to discour-
age selling the crop on the
black market.

Mr Mwaba_ accused the
police of not enforcing the law
against tobacco black mar-
keteering.

He explained that the law
tequired that tobacco be auc-
tioned on legal auction floors
but this was being shunned by
some producers.

THE! World Bank will give Zambia two loans totalling
K11.7 million for the development of the oil industry.

Th.e Africa Quarterly Review
released by the economist

two loans will cover a 20-year
period with an additional five-
year grace period.

The first loan of K6.6 million
will be used to partly finance
the K8 million cost of geogra-
Phical surveys to be carried
‘out by the geographical sur-
vey department.

The data will be interpreted
with the help of the World

attract oi! companies into the
exploration. .

Part of the loan will be used
sto reprocess and reinterpret
data collected under five pre-
vious surveys covering some
50,000 km line.

The second loan of KS.1
million will help finance a KS.8
million refinery modification
Project at the State-owned

Indeni Petroleum Refinery in

The refinery is designed to
ess Arabian light crude oil
y up to 25 per cent.

This has raised the econo:

LONDON REFUGEES ACCUSED OF ANTIPRESS CAMPAIGN
Accra GHANAIAN TIMES in English 9 Sep 82 pp 1, 3

[Text] Some self-exiled Ghanaian journalists in London are making frantic
efforts to sabotage efforts of the Commonwealth Press Union (CPU) to assist
the Ghanaian press with much needed inputs, notably newsprint.

This was disclosed by Mr Osei Poku, managing editor of THE PEOPLE'S EVENING
NEWS to the G.N.A. Correspondent shortly before he flew back home from London
after a month's visit.

It would be recalled that at the last CPU meeting held in London in June
this year, Mr Poku appealed to the union to come to the aid of the Ghanaian
press.

The managing editor pointed out that those journalists were destroying the
very profession they sought to champion since their actions would make most
of their colleagues at home lose their jobs if friendly countries denied
Ghana the assistance it needed now.

He said because these journalists had been granted the permission to live fat
on the sweat of the British people, they did not care what happened to their
colleagues back home.

"These journalists," he said, "would admit that the economic recovery made by
the British people over the past centuries, were not made by undermining each
other or out of envy."

Mr Poku condemned the activities of the self-exiled journalists, adding that
even though such actions were directed against the present government, Flt.-Lt
Rawlings and his colleagues do not suffer much harm but rather the country.

He, therefore, appealed to the conscience of those involved to desist from

their unpatriotic act, pointing out that "leaders will come and go, but Ghana
will always remain."

LACK OF TRANSPORT, MARKETS CAUSE CHIRUNDU CROPS TO ROT

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 4 Sept 82 p 5

[Text]

VEGETABLES and fruits rot every year in Chirundu
because farmers have not organised themselves into
a cooperative to find a suitable market.

Bananas and various types of
vegetables such as cabbage,
tomatoes and lettuce go to
waste, because of lack of
proper transport and marke-
ting facilities.

The most affected are the 42
farmers settled at Jordan
Kapulila village after com-
pleting an — eight-month
course in agriculture at the
nearby Zambezi training
farm.

Mr Smart Kapesa who comple-
ted his course in 1973 and
has been at the settlement
since then said although he
and his colleagues were pro-
ducing a lot of crops, they
did not have transport and a
suitable market.

“We are producing quite a lot
of crops, but we cannot find
transport. As a result our
produce rots here or it is
sold to the local people at
give-away prices."

Mr Kapesa said there was
need to form a cooperative if
the situation was to
improve.

“But efforts in the past to
form a cooperative have
been fruitless because some
of our colleagues are not
keen on the venture."

Another farmer Mr Bartholo-
mew Kondola supported the
idea of a cooperative be-
cause it would minimise
their transport and market-
ing problems.

At the moment he was expe-
riencing difticulties in trans-
porting his produce to mar-
kets and his bananas and

vegetables were rotting.

All the farmers interviewed
said they were satisfied with
the way their plots had been
serviced by the training
farm.

‘What we are complaining
about is lack of transport
and a market. Otherwise we
have excellent farming plots
with rich soil.’”

One of the instructors at the
training farm Mr Alberto
Farotto, a 2b-year-old Italian
volunteer who arrived in the
country two weeks ago,
supported the idea of farm-
ers forming a cooperative.

If they did that, it would be
easier for them tc acquire a
truck to transport their pro-
duce to markets.

The farmers also grow peas,
carrots spinach turnips,
green paper, squash, and
egg fruits.

PRC PREPARED ZANZIBAR TOWN MASTER PLAN PRESENTED
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 3 Sep 82 p 1
[Article by Habib Nyundo]

[Text] IMPLEMENTATION of the first phase of the Zanzibar town master plan
is expected to start later this year. The phase to be implemented up to 1986,
would cost 52,600,000/-.

The 20-year master plan which had taken a Chinese expert team 20 months to
prepare was recently presented to the Zanzibar Government for study and
adoption.

The Plan, which has cost 1.6 million/- to prepare, was presented to the Govern-
ment by the city planning team leader, Ndugu Qian Kequan during a Revolutionary
Council session at the People's Palace in Zanzibar.

The experts told the Revolutionary Council meeting under its Chairman, Ndugu
Aboud Jumbe, that the building of the new town would take 20 years to complete.

They recommended to the Government that the town, to cover about 3,560 hectares
and envisaged to accommodate 300,000 people, be built in four phases. Zanzibar
town presently occupies 1,850 hectares and is inhabited by 126,000 people.

The masterplan is expected to solve among other problems, prevalent in Zanzibar
town, the mushrooming squater areas, floods on depression, and allow the crea-
tion of sewarage systems.

The town centre forming an "L" shape, would accommodate the administrative
machinery, cultural and commercial centres.

Meanwhile, the experts suggested that the old town and 16 historical structures
be classified as a preserved zone. The master plan, the preparation of which

began in January 1981, was drawn by a team of ten experts from China under
an agreement signed between the Zanzibar Government and the Chinese Government.

PRC CONSTRUCTED MMMTIC'S POTENTIAL MUST BE REALIZED

Dar es Salaam SUNDAY NEWS in English 5 Sep 82 p 4

[Editorial]

[Text]

THE Mang’ula Mechanical and Machine Tools Com-
pany (MMMTC) in Ifakara, Morogoro Region, is a
child of the Great Uhuru Railway (TAZARA) con-
struction work.

For it dates back to 1969, at the decisive con-
struction stage of the all important railway linking
landlocked Zambia to Tanzania’s Indian Ocean port
city, Dar es Salaam.

The Mang’ula complex was built by the technical
team of the People’s Republic of China, which of-
fered — against many odds — to assist the two coun-
tries in constructing a railway long considered un-
viable by some industrialised nations.

During the construction period, the complex ser-
ved the Chinese engineers as a back-up repair cen-
tre for the heavy machinery used in the construction
of the Great Uhuru.

Mang’ula, handed over to the government of Tan-
zania at generous loan terms in 1977, came into
sharp focus this week when President Nyerere made
an intensive visit of the complex on Wednesday.

Mwalimu’s visit revealed the fact that amidst the
much publicised adverse national economic
position, there ,are brighter spots painting to what
can be done in taking care of the internal factors
standing in the way of economic rehabilitation.

Whereas most of the country’s industrial per
formance suffers from lack of spare parts, MMMTC
has ample capacity to manufacture some of the most
needed spare parts in the industrial, agricultural
and construction sectors.

Regrettably, narrow-minded industrialists have
tended to prefer imported spares claiming that
those manufactured at home were of inferior
quality. Hence the vague disregard for the services
offered at MMMTC.

This attitude must be confronted squarely. For a
country already faced with foreign exchange
problems, can hardly afford to allocate foreign
currency for the importation of materials which can
be found locally.

liMMTC, for example, can manufacture up to 30
per cent of Land Rover components. It would be un-
wise to import these items out of our already
meagre foreign exchange resources.

It also calls for serious study of the country’s

LESOTHO

BRIEFS

JONATHAN HITS PLAN--MASERU--The Prime Minister of Lesotho, Dr Leabua Jonathan,
has said in East Berlin he regretted that South Africa's so-called new consti-
tutional dispensation referred to power sharing and yet effectively excluded
the the Black majority from political participation. He said this would ag-
gravate South Africa's racial problems. Speaking at a dinner, Dr Jonathan

said Lesotho, like the rest of Africa, lacked the capital and expertise and

it was worse off as a result of a colonial policy which was calculated to

use it as a cheap labour reservoir for South African mines. He said Lesotho
was working for the reversal of this situation, by appealing to genuine friends
throughout the world and across ideological lines to assist with capital and
technical expertise. Dr Jonathan also said he regretted Lesotho was being
victimised by South Africa for giving humanitarian assistance to victims of
apartheid fleeing to Lesotho. South Africa was harbouring, training and arm-
ing the dissidents and quislings of the so-called Lesotho Liberation Army
under the false claim that Lesotho was providing training bases for ANC terror-
ists. He said, however, Lesotho would continue providing humanitarian assist-
ance to genuine victims of apartheid. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in

TRUCK drivers delivering sugar to appointed
agents on the Copperbelt will with immediate ef-
fect report to district governors’ offices to ascer-

tain the quantity.

This is one of the
measures taken by the
Copperbelt Contingency
Planning Committee
meeting to curb the
smuggling of sugar to
neighbouring countries.

Provincial political secretary
and chairman of the committee
Mr Pickson Chitambala said
in Ndola yesterday the mea-
sures would help reduce
smuggling in the province.

Sugar was the most smug-
gled commodity and to mini-
mise the incidence: all drivers
have to report to district
governors who would ascertain
the quantity and destination of
the consignment.

Police had been asked to
intensify checks to ensure
that the trucks carricd the
right commodity.

in the past smugglers used
empty 50 kg mealie meal bags
to carry sugar to other count-
ries and unsuspecting police

95

officers on patrol would let
them pass not knowing that
they carried sugar.

**Police can hardly tell the
difference when the bag is
labelled breakfast meal 50 kg
so the trucks are allowed to
pass.

Mr Chitambala appealed to
businessmen, _ organisations
and Party officials to be patrio-
tic and urged them not to allow
smuggling just because’ some
money was offered to them in
return.

The Party and its Govern:
ment was finding problems to
raise the much needed foreign
exchange.

“People caught smuggling
will be dealt with by the esta-
blished courts.”"

Early this week Mr Chita-
mbala expressed concern over’
the increasing incidence of
sugar smuggling in the provi-
nce and called on all district
governors to be vigilant to
curb the ‘‘evil practice’’.

NORWEGIAN COOPERATION IN MERCHANT MARINE TRAINING
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 24 Aug 82 p 10
[Article by Benjamim Faduco]

[Text] Internationally qualified merchant marine officers will be trained
in the People's Republic of Mozambique, starting next year, we learned from
a source at the Naval School of Mozambique in Maputo. This means that the
future officers graduated from this school will receive internationally
valid professional licenses.

The course, the first at this level to be given in our country, will have the
support of Norwegian cooperation; the first Norwegian technicians are already
in Maputo.

The rest of the Norwegian technicians will arrive here soon to take part in
organizing the course, which is expected to begin in February 1983.

Sponsored by the National Directorate of Maritime and River Transport, the
course will be conducted by Norwegian technicians persuant to an accord signed
in 1980. The course will also have the support of IMCO, an international
agency connected with the merchant marine.

The training of the future merchant marine officers will include three
specialties: pilot training, communications (radiotelegraphy) and mechanics.

The 3-year course will be broken up with periods of practical training,
either on ships belonging to the school or to the Mozambican merchant marine.

According to the same source, the course will be open to candidates with the
minimum of a 9th grade education. At the end of the course, the future
officers will have the equivalent of an 1lth grade in general education.

Various equipment is already being set in place to insure that the course
will begin on the scheduled date. A language laboratory is almost completed.

A communications station is also being installed, fully equipped to simulate,

on land, all the communications situations that occur in actual sailing
conditions.

LOW COPPER PRICES THREATEN NATION'S MINING FUTURE

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 9 Sep 82 p 1

[Text]

cso:

4700/1935

THE persistent low copper
prices on the world market are
threatening the future of min-
ing in Zambia.

Since all the high grade
copper ore have been exhaust-
ed and the mines were now
mining low grade copper ore it
could be uneconomic for the
industry.

Acting permanent secretary
for Mines Dr Eli  Mwana-
ng’onze said in Lusaka yester-
day that if the price of copper
kept sliding the life span of
copper mining in Zambia
would be reduced drastically.

The Zambian copper mines
were getting deeper and the
grade of ore mined is lower.

He said however, that
should the price rise consider-
ably on the market and main-
tain the trend, then Zambia
would mine even the lowest
grade of the metal and boost
the life span.

The current estimated life
span of the Zambian copper
mines was between 25 and 35
years. This meant that the
future of the industry was
dependent on “what happens
in the next ten years.’”

If copper prices rose, Zam-
bian mines could even expect
to remain in business for the
next 60 years.

“We have close to one
billion tonnes of .9 to one per
cent copper in Lumwana area
of the North-Western Province
which comes to the surface,
but under the present prices,
this deposit is not economic to,
mine because:

91

@ It is 250 km from_the
nearest smelter which is Chin-
gola and;

@ There is no railway line
linking Chingola and Lu-
mwana for use in transporting
the ore.””

On the cassiterite (tin) min-
ing, Dr Mwanang’onze said his
ministry had organised villag-
ers in the Choma-Kalomo area
where there was a huge cassite-

rite belt bearing rock into small]

groups for purposes of mining
licences and these had been
registered.

The ministry wanted to
deploy a mining engineer and a
geologist in the cassiterite min-
ing area to give advice to the
miners.

A problem which had been
experienced was that local
villagers only operated season-
ally since they had to farm
during the rains which affected
output during the period.

In Chingola, Zana reports
that transporters of copper
from Kansanshi mine in So-
Iwezi have been accused of
being careless in the way they
haul the ore.

Chingola Member of Parlia-
ment, Mr Denny Kapandula
said he had observed this when
he travelled between Chingola
and Solwezi by road.

Dumps of copper ore which
if collected could ‘fill three
trucks was left to waste by the
roadside.

He called on truck owners to
supervise their drivers to en-
sure the wastage was reduced.

MORE ATTENTION TO PARTY CELLS
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 20 Aug 82 p 1

[Excerpts] To enable the party cells to play a directing role at the rank

and file level in companies, without any hindrance, the FRELIMO Party
leadership will give greater attention to these political structures, according
to the most recent "Voz da FRELIMO" program.

The measure is in response to problems faced by the rank and file party
structures at work sites as a result of differences with the managing
directors.

The measure is also in answer to the need to reactivate the party cells to
properly conduct their work of recruiting workers in preparation for the
fourth congress.

According to the "Voz da FRELIMO" program, various operational problems and
shortcomings are preventing the cells from fully playing their directing role
at the rank and file level.

The incorrect view of party work in some sectors, along with incorrect actions
in certain enterprises and services, are seen as the major factors impeding
intensive party work at these locations.

In a meeting on 14 August with party cells and dynamization groups, led by
Jorge Rebelo, Central Committee secretary for ideological work, several cases
came to light in which party members had been persecuted, demoted and even
dismissed by company administrators solely because they had criticized or
reported irregularities.

"Voz da FRELIMO" further revealed that, in a certain company, it is known
that "the administrator demanded tape recordings of meetings of the party cell
in order to monitor its work and its plans. This attitude is a clear
illustration of the tyrannical action of some directors and an affront to

our class power."

RECORD WHEAT CROP FORECAST--THE first official estimate of South Africa's
1982/83 wheat crop indicates record production of 2,59-million tons, compared
with last season's revised actual output of 2,34-million, the Agriculture
Department says. The department said the estimate was based on conditions

at the end of August. The Wheat Board gave Reuters last month an unofficial
forecast of 2,37 million tons for the 1982/83 wheat crop, based on conditions
up to mid-July and reflecting exceptionally good weather inmain production
areas. The local wheat season runs officially from October 1 to September
30, but is complicated by different growing seasons in various regions. The
key Orange Free State crop is harvested in January. South Africa has imported
106 000 tons of wheat this season to satisfy local demand despite increasing
production. The Agriculture Department said it revised upwards 1981/82's
final official estimate to record actual output of 2,34million. Wheat Board
manager Denis van Aarde said earlier this year that a decision on whether

to import more wheat would be taken towards the end of 1982 or in early 1983.

MINISTER URGES PRIVATE SECTOR TO AID SMALL FARMERS

Harare THE HERALD in English 7 Sep 82 p 1

cso:

4700/1948

‘THE Minister of Agricul-
tare, Senator Dents Nor-
man, yesterday called on
the private sector to‘ help
emergent farmers facing
problems in the communal
areas. - :

Officially opening the
third annual congress of
the National Farmers’
Association of Zimbabwe
at the Domboshawa Train-
ing Centre, he said:

“If they accept this
challenge I am sure they
will fing it rewarding.

“More important, they
will be making a major
contribution to an area in
this country which badly
needs assistance.”

His ministry would give
full sapport to anyone who
came forward. and help-
ed cammunal farmers.

Nothing in farming was
easy and problems of the
past such as drought, pests
and diseases would keep
recurring. .

“However, the Govern-
ment is well aware of your
problems and I urge you

constantly to make ‘the’

‘authorities. aware of your
needs and requirements.”

‘The Government's main
agricultural thrust was
directed towards improv-
Ing communal areas but he
warned delegates not to
forget that the final re-
sponsibility for success de-
pended on them.

“agriculture is much
spoken about today, and
everybody Is talking about
gréater produetivify and
greater return from the
land.

“I am delighted and en-
couraged by the number of
farmers who have come

110

here today showing an in-
terest in agriculture. I
believe the time for greater
production is now, and
the time for talking’ about
it is over.

“First of all the war of
Uberation Is oven but the

vernmen dealing
with dissidents in certain
parts of the country, No
‘stone will be left unturned
in dealing with those who
try to sabotage the farm-
ing community.”

Research was now gear-
ed towards boosting pro-
duction in the communal
and small-scale sectors, he
said.

This emphasis was put
into operation since No-
vember last year when
Agritex began ‘to function
fully under one ministry. -

Senator Norman said
that tea and sunflowers
had now joined the group
of controlled crops whose
producer prices are re-
viewed annually.

He regretted that there
was a shortage of exten-
sion staff. Measures would
be taken to ensure that
those trained would not be
poached by the private
sector.

Pressure on land was in-
creasing. In 20 years the
number of farmers rose
from 395000 to 800000
and the figure would soon
pass @ million.

“If we are to remove
poverty and have a bet-
ter standard for all, this
can be done through in-
creasing production on the
land. To do this we must
increase training  facili-
ties and ensure that those
who qualify teach farm-
ers,” be said.

Government would use its
building branch to put up
teachers’ houses in tural
areas where private building
contractors would not venture.

The project is aimed at
minimising the teachers’ hous-
ing problems,

But speaking in an interview
in Lusaka yesterday, the
minister would not give the
exact figure of the loan his
ministry had secured from the
ZNBS with the Ministry of
Finance as the guarantor.

His ministry would spend
between KS million to Ki0
million from the loan yearly
until the housing problem had
been solved or reduced.

“We might be spending
more than K10 million a
year because according to this
gentleman’s agreement we
have reached with the ZNBS
the purchase and construction
of the housing units would
depend on the ability of the
ministry."

Waiting

Initially the ministry had
bought more than 100 houses
for teachers from several
district councils and the
National Housing Authority
(NHA) and it was waiting for
replies from other councils
from which more units would
be bought. The project goes
into full swing next year.

Giving a breakdown of the
houses the ministry had
bought, Mr Hapunda said ten
were in Chingola and were
bought from the NHA and
Kitwe and Livingstone coun-
cils had sold ten houses each
to the ministry while Ndola
council had offered 30.

“Lusaka council is selling us
40 houses and in addition the
council has given us quota-
tions for building more
houses. Mufulira council has
sold us seven teachers’ hous-
ing units.”

Mr Hapunda stressed that
the Government had made a
firm decision to try and
reduce the backlog of poorly
accommodated and unaccom-
modated teachers saying:
“Our aim is to reduce the
number of umaccommodated
teachers instead of allowing
it to escalate.”

He attributed the problem
of teachers’ housing over the
past years to Government
policy which inihibited coun-

PW LASHES OUT AGAINST PAPER, CP ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ISSUE

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 15 Sep 82 p 4

[Article by Jaap Theron]

{Text ]

THE Prime Minister,
Mr P W Botha, yester-
day lashed out at the
editor of the Pretoria
newspaper Oggendblad
as well as at memebers
of the Conservative Par-
y who were questioning
the Government's policy
of allowing freedom of
belief and of religion.

Reacting on the issue of
religion in a future three
chamber Parliament Mr
Botha asked “whether we
have now really reached
the point where we have
sunk so low that the Son
of God’s message has to
be protected by law”.

Mr Thuys Human, edi-
tor of Oggendblad, said in
a special front page edito-
rial that the congress
should realise that
Coloureds and Asians,
among whom are many
Hindu’s and Moslem’s
would have to use their
own prayers with those of
Whites in the combined
committee sessions. He
said the congress should
get clarity on the matter
so that it could know
exactly what its choice
should be. Mr Human
also said the congress
should realise that by ac-
cepting the new policy
proposals it would vote
away its right to have a
say inall future policies.

Mr Botha said he felt

34

sorry for Mr Human, add-
ing “we will remember
him in our prayers”.

The Oggendblad edi-
tor’s article was. in very
weak taste, he said.

Before Mr _ Botha
reacted to the Oggendb-
lad editiorial a large num-
ber of delegates had com-
plained about the article.

One delegate de-
manded that Oggendblad
be rejected and never
again be bought by Nats.

Others called it a
shocking report. Dr Stof-
fel van der Merwe, MP
for Helderkruin, said it
was not only a totally un-
asked for report, being
published during the con- -
gress, but he al-
so accused the
writer of not
knowing how pol-
itics worked in
South Africa.

Dr Van der Mer-
we said there was
no question that

Christianity would
fall away as basis
for the Govern-
ments policies in
the new dispensation and
neither would the NP
congress lose its right to
decide broad policy prin-
ciples.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE NEEDED TO IMPORT FERTILIZER AT SOUTH AFRICAN PORTS
Lusaka DAILY MAIL in English 6 Sep 82 p 1

[Excerpt] The Ministry of Agriculture and Water Development is battling to
obtain foreign exchange to bring in fertiliser worth K4 million which is ma-
rooned at South African ports.

Minister, Mr Unia Mwila, also expressed concern at the reluctance by the Bank
of Zambia to release foreign exchange to import "emergency" Pioneer seed to
keep the crop readily available in the country and avoid panic-buying in case
of drought.

Mr Mwila said at the weekend that the fertiliser was held up at South African
ports en route to Zambia because of K4 million needed for its clearance.

He said, however, that there was already enough fertiliser in the country most
of which has already reached districts throughout the country.

Mr Mwila said the Ministry had also ordered 20,000 pockets of Pioneer seed
maize from South Africa and Zimbabwe in case of a repeat of the last season's

drought.

He said, however, that this strategy had been sabotaged by the non-release
of foreign exchange to import the commodity.

He warned that there would be serious trouble if the drought which hit the
country last year is repeated next season.

The government has also distributed three tractors to each district throughout
the country to help farmers in their work.

Mr Mwila said the government will also import nine land clearing units to as-
sist farmers mostly in dense forest areas of Northern Province.

The minister also said the ministry had helped the Agriculture Finance Company
(AFC) to get K80 million for credits to farmers.

The Wall Street Jour-
nal: “American Investors
Wary About Zimbabwe.”

The Economist: ““Zim-
babwe: Not So Simple.”

France-Soir: “Zim-
babwe — Is Prosperity
Possible?”

Are such critical head-
lines, bound to have a
most adverse effect on
foreign investors, justi-
fied?”

Well, even the liberal
British Press;*initially so
charmed with Mr Mu-
gabe, is now showing
signs of having second
thoughts, of agreeing that
things appear to be going
from bad to worse.

For the British, one of
the most worrying aspects
appears to be the Mugabe
Government's increasing-

ly slender regard for the

legal niceties.

Such surprise is hard to
comprehend. After all,
Mr Mugabe showed his
true colours very early
on.

He always promised to
take power through the
barrel of a gun. This he
proceeded to do, in a vi-
cious shambles of an elec-

tion. .

Since shooting its way
to power, Zanla has again
and again demonstrated
its cynical indifference to
justice, law and order. -

The first and most dra-
matic evidence came in
1981, when the courts
convicted Edgar Tekere
on charges of first-degree,
premeditated murder.

But, in a blatant ex-
ample of judicial manip
lation, his lawyers in-
voked a section of the old
Indemnity Regulations.
To the fury and chagrin of
the Whites, this cold-
blooded killer strolled out
of the High Court, a free
man.

Sinct then, the qualifi-
cations for appointment

to the Bench have been
substantially reduced.

4700/193¢

The former Attorney-
General, Mr Brendan
Treacy, was forced by
Mugabe to make way for
a Zanla successor, one
Chidyausiku.

Almost immediately
after the appointment of
Chidyausiku, criminal
charges were withdrawn
against a number of
Zanu-PF officials, includ-
ing .six serious criminal
charges against the Zanu-
PF Mayor of Gweru,
Patrick Kombayi.

Kombayi, best known

‘for beating up Whites,

earned some distinction
when he first came to of-
fice by commissioning a
photograph of himself,
clenching a hefty iron bar
between his choppers.

The Press was then
duly requested to publish
this photographic master-
piece, with the slogan: “I
have teeth. Icaabite.” .

The next shock for the
Whites came when the
new Minister of Home
Affairs, Dr Herbert
Ushewokunze, promoted
14 very junior Police offi-
cers to senior positions,
replacing experienced of-
ficers who were not mem-
bersof Zanu-PF.

Ushewokunze, a
strange man said to have
named six of his sons. Her-
bert Ushewokunze in his
own honour, has perpe-
trated many other grave
breaches of the law he is,
theoretically, pledged to
uphold.

Defying an order by a
High Court judge, he re-
fused to release the York
brothers, men who have
since decided life would
be a lot safer in South
Africa. He personally or-
dered that a convicted
prisoner, Stephen Ber-
trand, be placed in leg
irons, despite advice from
the prison authorities that
such action was unnecess-
ary and unwarranted.

A White Parliamentas-

37

an, Mr Wally Stuttaford,
and a number of Black
suspects were held il-
legally, incommunicado,
with no charges and no
trial, for long periods.

Ushewokunze _per-
mitted, perhaps ordered,
the torture of these men.
. Earlier this year, he or-
dered the arrest and de-
tention of the Chief Im- ~
migration Officer at
Harare Airport for de-
laying the departure of
Mr Mugabe's aircraft
while clearing other pass-
engers.

Upon release, this offi-
cer was not permitted to
sue for wrongful arrest.

dence of violent crime in
Zimbabwe has increased
enormously over the past
year: but the percentage
‘Of successfully. investi-
gated crimes has declined
equally alarmingly.

In many cases, dockets
are either not opened by
the police or are hastily’
closed when it is found
that the suspects are
members in good stand-
ing of Zanu-PF.

Effectively, this means
that Zanla top brass, in-
cluding Cabinet Ministers
such as Eddison Zvobgo
and senior Army officers
such as General Rex
Nhongo and Major-Gen-
eral Tungimirai, can per-
petrate almost any crimi-
nal offence without fear
of punishment.

Just to make sure of
that, special legislation
was promulgated in July.
Under this, all members
of the Cabinet, Police and
Army (or any person or
official deemed to be act-
ing on their behalf) are in-
demnified against any
criminal or civil prosecu-
tion arising out of actions
deemed to be in the nat-
ional interest.

Which, lawyers agree
gives them a1] a pret-
ty free hand to do
as they like.
