the high cost of building lots, delays in the development of new townships
and the high standard of housing required.

Even though, thanks to the work of the Advisory Committee on Housing Affairs,
the situation has been substantially improved with regard to uniform town de-
velopment procedures, charges are still being made that there are not enough
housing lots available at reasonable prices.

Problems concerning the completion of private town developments within a rea-
sonable amount of time and the subdivision of land under existing ordinances
are mentioned. The high price of housing lots is also attributed to the pur-
ported lengthy delays.

In order to pay renewed attention to these problems, the government decided to
appoint an investigative committee.

Botha Calls for Calm
Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22
{Article: "Prime Minister Requests Calm for Reforn" ]

[Text] Prime Minister P.W. Botha said yesterday that he hopes the country
will remain calm in order to give the government the opportunity to meet its
responsibilities in terms of the constitutional reform.

The prime minister said during the third reading debate on the budget bill
that the National Party [np] congresses will to a large extent influence the
government's decisions on the Presidential Council proposals concerning a new
constitutional allocation. Afterwards, the final proposals will be considered
by the House of Assembly.

Proposals

The Constitutional Committee of the House of Assembly may also discuss the
proposals. The government has given the assurance that any proposals on con-
stitutional reform will be studied by the committee.

In response to a question from Mr Vause Raw, leader of the New Republic Party
[rp], Mr Botha said that the Presidential Council itself was a first step
allowing whites, coloreds and Indians to deliberate and consult with one an-
other. The NRP participated in this.

Consultation

The government is now consulting with the leaders of population groups which
have not been consulted yet. After having done this, it also has an obliga-
tion toward its own party. The government will consult with the leaders and
congresses of the NP, and the congresses will to a large extent influence the
government decisions.

leavers to get jobs) have become fairly cpen in
criticism of the system. However, so far unem-
ployment has not posed a serious problem. Rural-to-
urban migration has started, but a policy of
developing smaller rural towns and of giving
productivity incentives to small farmers, promises to
keep unemployment manageable.

The MCP is one of the most embracing parties in
Africa. Operating through the usual system of local,
area, district and regional committees, the MCP
hopes to soon have the membership of 75% of the
population. We understand that the present 50
tambala annual membership subscription is due to be
increased to 150 tambala when the MCP holds its
annual congress in the north later this year. Using the
Malawi Young Pioneers* (who are often unem-
ployed, poorly educated teenagers, some of whom
are coopted as informers for the Special Branch, or
as full-time employees) as its strong-arm, the MCP is
wearing thin on the growing number of educated
Malawians who can perceive it as Banda’s personal
system rather than as a national movement. The
insecurity of some senior MCP officials lends a
theatrical air. As the MCP rules and regulations
specify, somewhat ominously in the section dealing
with access to the life president: ‘‘members of the
National Executive Committee are advised to be
careful as to who they send or bring to the Life
President”’.

If Banda dies in office (and it is unlikely that he
will relinquish the presidency otherwise), the MCP
constitution dictates that the secretary-general
summons within three days an emergency meeting of
the National Executive Committee, which then elects
two of its members (providing they are in the cabinet)
to serve with the secretary-general on a presidential
commission. An MCP annual convention is then to
be called as soon as possible to elect a new president.

To what extent those who have popular backing
such as Gadama of the central region would prevail
in the power vacuum over party potentates whose
reputation was based on association with Banda, is
not a totally open question. Popular expectation for
change would probably preempt the chances of the
latter category, which includes Tembo and Newiri. If
the three-man presidential commission followed the
constitutional procedure and was made up of cabinet
ministers only, it could probably rule for some time
without public criticism, especially if it was com-
posed of Matenje, Gadama and either Chimango or
Bwanali — all of whom are popular figures.
(Gadama and Matenje are also respectively
parliamentary chief whip and deputy chief whip).

It appears therefore that the key question is
whether Banda’s dictatorship continues long enough
to fuel popular frustration to the point of instability
before he dies. If there is a rudimentary but passive

CALL FOR AFRICAN-ARAB COOPERATION
Nairobi MSETO in Swahili 6 Jun 82 p 5

[Text] The committee for carrying out the Great Meeting of Arabs and Africans
has the pleasure of celebrating Africa Day, 25 May 1982, and having the African
Peoples fight for their independence and development and against imperialism,
Zionism and opposition to development.

We want to remind you of the importance of the cooperation between the Arabs and
the Africans, without forgetting the announcement of the Great Meeting of Arabs
and Africans held in Luanda, Angola, in December 1981. That meeting was held
under the watchwords: "Palestine, Namibia and South Africa are the true roots
of the fight of Africans and Arabs." The announcement of Luanda made firm the
unity of the African and Arab fight and the need for unified efforts in opposing
imperialism, Zionism and opposition to development.

On Africa Day, we salute the battle of the People of Africa and their groups
fighting against the enemies of unity. We want to remind you of the importance
of the cohesion between the Arabs and Africans, for this cohesion is the only
way to save the Africans and Arabs from the problems in front of them.

To help the people of Palestine, Namibia and South Africa are the very important
roots in the fight and the sign of its truth.

And now because the enemy, Zionism, continues to occupy the land of other Arab
countries and also continues to oppose the violence of the whole world and to
warn that hostility [violence] is the way for the people of Palestine to seize
their rights to return to their homeland and to set up their own free government
under the leadership of the PLO, the legal and only Party. It is also the way
for making the City of Jerusalem [Bayt al-Muqaddas] and the Golan Heights part
of their country. The Government of Zaire'’s cooperation with Israel is a dan-
gerous action, not because it is an action against brotherhood and the coopera-
tion between the Africans and Arabs, but because it is an action that was done
under the burden of imperialism, Zionism and segregation.

The announcement of Luanda said in its fifth section that the fights of the
Africans and the Arabs are one and the same. Thus, the tricks of the enemies
should not be allowed to ruin the unity of action or weaken the cooperation that
now exists between the Africans and Arabs.

POLICE TESTIMONY DENIES PURPORTED AGGETT COMPLAINTS

Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 2

{Article: “Aggett Never Complained of Being Assaulted" |

[Text ] Johannesburg -- A captain of the Security Police testified yesterday
in magistrate's court that in November of last year, he had taken two warrants
to a house and had taken Dr Neil Aggett into custody for promoting the aims
of the African National Congress.

Several books and documents relating to his political activities were also
seized.

Captain Jacob C. Strauss testified that on 27 November he received a search
warrant and a warrant for the arrest for interrogation of Dr Aggett.

About 6:15 that evening, he and other members of the police department went

to a house in Crown Mines, where he found Dr Aggett and his friend, Dr Elzabeth
Floyd.

Documentary Evidence

"I told him that I was taking him into custody for promoting the aims of the
ANC. Afterwards we went to a residence at 420A Foxstraat. In the presence

of Dr Aggett, I seized several pieces of documentary evidence which would be
used later on in the prosecution."

He had questioned Dr Aggett in the car with regard to his activities with the
ANC and the unions, but he "refused to answer any questions."

In response to a question from counselor D. Kuny, lawyer for the Aggett fami-
ly, Captain Strauss admitted that the warrant had been for detention and not
taking into custody. However, he did take him into custody.

Counselor Kuny: "On what charge did you take him into custody?"

Captain Strauss: "For promoting the goals of the ANC."

Counselor Kuny: "Was he ever brought before a court within 48 hours on this
charge?"

GOWASEB INCIDENT TRIGGERS THREAT, SECRET MEETINGS

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 23 Jun 82 p 3

[Text]

CONSIDERABLE
intrigue was added
yesterday to the reports
this week of the alleged
abduction and
manhandling of Adver-
tiser reporter, Mr Karl
Gowaseb.

Mr Gowaseb was al-
legedly abducted by
Nature Conservation of-
ficials at the Okaukuejo
guest camp in the Etosha
Reserve, sworn at, as-
saulted and then dropped
in the veld after having
been accused of miscon-
duct.

The matter is presently
being handed over to the
Police to handle.

Yesterday morning the
Editor of the Advertiser,

“Mr Leon Kok, received an

anonymous call warning
him that if he encouraged
“kaffirs to visit Etosha”, he
would be the next victim.

Shortly after he received
yet another. strange call
from a person who refused
to .be named, but re-
questing that Mr Kok go to
a city hotel where he would
hear certain “things” about
the entire incident. He was
given 10 minutes to get
there.

The person also re-
quested that Mr Kok bring
a camera and R50.

Mr Kok went to the
hotel concerned, waited at
the reception and then was
quietly called across the
room. Mr Kok was accom-

28

panied by The Advertiser
photographer, Mr Dirk
Heinrich.

Mr Heinrich recognised
the person concerned as a
government official; the
two had met on a previous
occasion.

After pleasantries had
been exchanged by this
person and Mr Heinrich,
this person demanded that
a photograph be taken of
himself and Mr Kok
together.

He then talked in circles,
as Mr Kok described it,
and Mr Kok asked Mr
Heinrich to leave.

The person then im-
mediately got on to the
subject of the alleged ab-
duction, manhandling and
assault of Mr Gowaseb
and gave a limited amount
of information, claiming
that he had intimate
knowledge of it.

FULL REPORT

He then insisted that he
could say no more, but if
Mr Kok got him a hotel
room, he would go upstairs
and write a full report
which would be complete
and handed to Mr Kok at
7.30 last night.

He said he would also
include details of
widespread corruption in
the White Administration.

Mr Kok, though reluc-
tant to meet this strange re-
quest but nevertheless keen
to acquire further informa-
tion on the Etosha incident,
agreed. He also informed

INDIAN TEAM EXPRESSES OPTIMISM ABOUT NATION'S FOOD SUFFICIENCY
Dar es Salaam SUNDAY NEWS in English 27 Jun 82 p 1
[Article by Mkumbwa Ally]

[Text] Timely distribution of agricultural inputs, farm implements and better
quality of seeds will enable Tanzania to attain food sufficiency in the next
two years and produce surplus for export in the near future.

This optimism was expressed in Dar es Salaam yesterday by a three-man team
of Indian agricultural scientists led by the Vice-Chancellor of Haryana Agri-
culture University, Dr. D. R. Bhumbla.

The experts, following-up an earlier visit by the famous Indian agricultural
scientists, Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, who toured the country last April at the
invitation of President Nyerere, visited agricultural industries, training
institutes and villages for the last one week.

Dr. Bhumbla told reporters yesterday after discussions with Agriculture Min-
ister John Baptist, Machunda and other ministry officials that Tanzania had
excellent soils and water resources which, with appropriate technology, would
raise agricultural output.

"One of our observation is that Tanzania is capable of feeding itself, not
only in the distant future but in a year or two if appropriate plans are imple-
mented. The country would also produce a surplus for export in the near fu-
ture," he said.

The scientist said emphasis should be on higher yield per acre, adding that
research should be conducted to establish better quality seeds, fertilizers
and farm implements.

Small rather than large-scale irrigation schemes, mainly those using hand-
driven pumps should be started, he said. He explained, however, that research
must be conducted to determine the extent to which these would be spread.

He said available data showed that the country imported only 10 per cent of
her food requirements which mainly went to the urban population.

Yoruba NPN Leaders

Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 3 Jun 82 p 3

{Text ]

PRESIDENT Shehu Shagari is
not likely to face any opposition
from the Yoruba leaders in the
NPN if and when he files his
renomination papers.

This is because the NPN
leaders from the Yoruba speak-
ing areas have resolved not to put
up any candidate against the
President.

Investigations conducted by
the New Nigerian revealed that
the Yoruba leaders met at a
house in Apapa last week to
decide on the issue.

At the meeting, were represen-
tatives from all the senatorial
districts in the Yoruba speaking
areas and those in the party’s
hierarchy in the areas.

The New Nigerian source also
revealed that although all those
present at the meeting agreed
that President Shagari should be

allowed to run for a second term
without hinderance, the leaders
wanted an assurance that the
Yorubas would not remain in the
cold, come 1987.

As a result of the meeting, one
of the presidential aspirants from
the area was instructed to phone
the President on the spot to in-
timate him with the decision not
to file any candidate from the
Yoruba speaking areas against
him, which the person concerned
did at once.

Our source did not however
state the President's reply to the
telephone call.

Efforts to contact those present
at the meeting failed but a top
member of the party confirmed
that the meeting was held.

He however declined to give
details of what transpired at the
meeting.

PPP Official's Statements Scored

Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 5 Jun 82 p 3

[Text]

KADUNA State Directorate of
Nigerian Advance Party (NAP)
has condemned the utterances of
the Kaduna State PPP Director
of Research and Publicity, Mr.
C.S. Ayashim.

This was in reaction to the
recent statement credited to Mr.
Ayashim in which he claimed
that NAP was registered to split
UPN. in the five states controlled
by-it in favour of the NPN.

NAP also denied Mr. Ayashim’s
claim that it had no office in
Kaduna State and some other
states in the country, but yet it
was registered and this Mr.
Ayashim said was contrary to the
provisions of the electoral law.

In a statement, Alhaji Ibrahim
Yakubu of Kaduna branch of
NAP urged Mr. Ayashim to

35

direct his attention on nursing
wounds sustained by his party as
a result of its non-registration by
FEDECO.

Alhaji Ibrahim Yakubu further
urged ‘‘all well-meaning citizens
to reject completely the so-called
People’s Progressive Party”
and, ‘“‘the meaningless Pro-
gressive People’s Alliance’’,
which, according to him lack
substance, aims and objectives
“except to destabilize the
existing unity and peace of this
nation”.

He then called on the general
public to come out en-masse and
support NAP for the interest of
peace and stability.

Alhaji Ibrahim Yakubu praised
President Shehu Shagari for his
effort to revamp the nation’s
economy.



electoral districts to get these two NP members elected to the House of Assem-
bly. They have trampled on these people's trust, said Mr Botha, who partici-
pated in the third reading debate on the budget.

Mr Botha singled out Mr Van Heerden, who ran over to the KP on Monday, and no-
ted that Mr Van Heerden had told him (mr Botha) in the presence of a witness
that he supported the NP after the original break away of the 17 KP members.

"T leave him with his conscience. His conscience is in the pocket of his
pants," said Mr Botha.

At Saturday's joint caucus. meeting of the NP he asked beforehand for absolute
secrecy from those who were present, and gave those who could not comply with
this the opportunity to leave the hall. During the meeting, Mr Van Heerden
did not ask a single questions and at the end he only said that he could not
support the NP.

Thus, Mr Van Heerden must have decided before that time that he would not go
along with the NP. And when he (Mr Botha) told reporters from English speaking
newspapers after the meeting that there was only one negative vote, they knew
immediately that it was Mr Van Heerden who had voted against the guidelines,
stated Mr Botha.

The National Party in Kuruman and De Aar is strong enough to survive this cri-
sis. The voters will reject these two members.

"They will show you what one does with turncoats."
Coloreds Should Purchase Land

Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22

[Article: "Coloreds Must Buy Land for Homeland: KP" ]

[Text ] Coloreds and Indians must be given full rights to self-determination
within their own areas and if these areas are to be consolidated, then the
coloreds and Indians should themselves buy the land necessary for this conso-
lidation, said Dr Ferdi Hartzenberg (KP, Lichtenburg) yesterday during the
third reading debate on the budget.

Dr Hartzenberg noted that his party supports this policy, because the KP rejects
all forms of political integration and division of power at all levels.

The areas within which the coloreds and Indians should be given the right to
self-determination, should be such that a maximum number of these groups can
be settled within them.

Earlier in his speech, Dr Hartzenberg noted that the difference between the
Presidential Council proposals and what the government will ultimately adopt,
will be due to the existence of the KP. "If it weren't for the Conservative
Party, the government would adopt all the proposals from the Presidential
Council."

CAPRIVI LAKE COULD SUPPLY WINDHOEK WITH WATER

NAMIBIA

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 2 Jul 82 p 6

[Article by Franz Krueger:

[Text]

~~ A virtually” unknown
lake, a river that can
flow both ways and a
weed that may infest the
future water supply of
the rest of Namibia:
these are some of the
fascinating things Water
Affairs officials deal
with daily in the Caprivi.

The Caprivi strip is a
“historical freak — which
reaches right across the
sub-continent to touch not
only Zambia and
Botswana, but Zimbabwe,
too. Over 1200 kms
separate Katima Mulilo
from Windhoek, and its

connections with the
Namibian capital are
tenuous.

region experienced a severe
drought during the late for-
ties, during which the
marsh was burnt by, the
local population. *

“Slash and burn
agriculture” which is still
much used in the region,
involves
vegetation of a tract of
land before planting. Not
only is it a simple method
of clearing the land, but the
burning also puts a lot of

"Caprivi:

burning the”

nutrients into the soil, en-
suring a good crop.

However, it is a highly
wastful method; after the
nutrients introduced ar-
tificially into a burnt piece
of ground have been ex-
hausted, it takes a long
time for the ground to
recover.

The drought provided a
good opportunity to use
land otherwise not accessi-
ble, since it was too wet,
and so large parts of the
marsh were burnt, and
crops planted there.

The drought ended when
particularly heavy rains fell
in the early and mid fifties.
The typically marshy
topography of the area had
in the meantime been
changed by the burning,
however, and so the lake
was formed in place of the
marsh.

Scientists are not sure
why the lake then
remained, and did not dis-
appear again. Some believe
earth movements caused
barriers to develop, which
prevented the water from

But it is the plentiful sup-
ply of water, before ail else,
which makes the region
strange and foreign to

stretching clear to the
horizon seems like a fata
morgana to Namibians
whose concept of water is
limited to taps, boreholes,
rivers that flow once in a
blue moon and _ brief,
glorious showers. in the
socalled rainy season.

Lake Liambezi is 100
square km in extent, with a
further 200 square km of
marsh adding to the water
surface. It lies along the
southern border of the
eastern Caprivi with
Botswana. It cannot be
found on any but the
newest of maps, since it
has only existed since
1958.

On older maps, the area

_ Row covered by the lake is

running off. Others believe
reeds washed away by the
sudden rush of water
formed barriers, which
silted up and gradually
turned into permanent bar-
tiers.

Whatever the reason, the
lake remained. In the early
stages, it still had a very
unbalanced ecology. The
nutrients introduced into
the soil by the burning
process made the water
very rich, and led to a
proliferation of weeds.

In time, however, the
ecosystem stabilised, and is
now almost identical to



Mr Botha noted that this was exactly the task which had been assigned to the
Presidential Council. Drs Treurnicht and Hartzenberg accepted full responsi-
pility for this. Dr Hartzenberg even helped with the appointment of Dr Joggie
van Oswegen to the Presidential Council.

They are now driving about the country and accusing their former colleagues of
digressing from NP policy. Dr Treurnicht portrays himself as the one who
stands for the preservation of the Afrikaners and of white rights.

Mr Botha quoted extensively from Dr Treurnicht's speech at the Transvaal con-
gress following the election. In it, among other things, Dr Treurnicht attack-
ed the right. He said that if people do not have better principles, they
should not manufacture differences. They should not chase people, who belong
together in terms of principles and policy, into different camps.

Within a few months, however, Dr Treurnicht made a turn about and is now doing
everything he said people should not do, said Mr Botha.

The prime minister stated that many people in the past had tried to force the
NP to its knees and had not succeeded. Dr Treurnicht will not succeed either.

Start To Count Heads

Dr Treurnicht uses his (Mr Botha's) statement, in which he clarified a healthy
distribution of power, as an excuse to explain why he and his fellow KP mem-
bers broke away. However, this is not the real reason. KP members had decided
to break off long before that statement was made and weeks earlier they had
begun to count heads. Furthermore, Dr Treurnicht also refuses to say what di-
rection he wants to go with South Africa.

He made it clear in his statement that his interpretation of the concept of
distribution of power differs greatly from the interpretation attached to it
by the PFP. The leader of the opposition, Dr Van Zyl Slabbert, agrees, said
the prime minister. However, he himself prefers the idea of joint responsibi-
lity, which is a form of healthy distribution of power without violating the
right to self-determination of the population groups involved, stated Mr Botha.

The records.also indicated that the country produced enough maize and millet
but that these were not widely consumed because of selective eating habits,
he pointed out.

He said small agro-industries should be established at the village level to
enable villagers manufacture basic requirements. "Things like hoes, ploughs
and seed oil should be made locally by villagers," he suggested.

Dr. Bhumbla said Tanzania needed an agriculture university to offer technical
guidance and advice on agricultural development. His team would ask the Indi-
an government to assist in establishment of such institution, he added.

The experts who were expected to leave for home last night met President Nyer-
ere, the Prime Minister, Ndugu Cleopa Msuya, Finance Minister Amir Jamal and
the Minister for Water and Energy, Ndugu Al Noor Kassum.

They also toured the Ubungo Farm Implements factory and a hydrology laboratory
in Dar es Salaam, the National Milling Corporation, flood areas in Kyela Dis-
trict, Dakawa and Mbarali state farms and Nyegezi Agricultural Training Insti-
tute in Mwanza.

The other members of the team were chief hydrologist and member of the central
ground water board, Dr. B.D. Pathak and Dr. D.P. Misra from the Indian National
Research Centre for Groundnuts.

are "contacts among brothers" with the purpose of establishing close relations
between Senegal and his organization. The organization's international
administrative headquarters is in Geneva. Its purpose is to carry out finan-
cial operations in accordance with the provisions of the Islamic Shari'a.

PRESIDENT MOI'S SPEECH ON SELF-RULE DAY
Nairobi MSETO in Swahili 6 Jun 82 pp 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8

[Lead article by MSETO reporter: "KANU Be Alert--Moi"; text of speech by
President Moi on the occasion of 19th anniversary of Kenya's gaining internal
self-rule]

[Text] President Danial arap Moi this week authorized the branches of KANU,
the ruling party, to be alert to judge those intending to disturb the peace in
the country.

President Moi gave this authorization while addressing a crowd of citizens in
Nairobi at the celebration of the 19th year since this country gained internal
self-rule.

President Moi took this opportunity to sharply scold people who are not content
who call themselves "revolutionaries" and he advised them to use their efforts
to help build up the nation rather than to stir up the citizens.

He warned that he will not hesitate to take severe measures against those who
intend to cause disburbances, even if they are members of parliament, and he
wants citizens to help in this effort. Also, President Moi warned university
students rot to think of themselves as better than others in the country. He
warned that the government spends much money each year to run the university
and therefore the students should remember their studies with determination.

The complete text of President Moi's speech given on the occasion of the cele-
bration of Self-Rule Day follows:

Kenyans, My Friends,

At this time of celebration of the holiday commemorating 19 years of self-rule
I greet all Kenyans, both in the country and away. The greeting is not out of
a necessity of the celebrations, rather it is a message from a cheerful heart
fully discovering that we are all together to remember the uprightness and de-
velopment of our nation. We have this thought, it is the same to say that,
although this is a day for celebration, this time is also to be used ina
peaceful way.

we must add: organization of the coming elections, higher education, the

Mr Diop said also that 29 billion will be needed to consolidate the external
debt, and 10 billion additional will be used to cancel the liability of the
former ONCAD [National Office of Cooperation and Assistance for Development].
Deputy Diop said: "We will seek foreign loans to assure financing of the
second phase of the sixth annual plan." For this reason, and to meet a number
of other requirements, the draft budget proposes empowering the head of state
to contract loans up to a total of 116 billion.

The committee chairman affirmed his optimism about the upcoming budget year:
"It will mark a decisive turning point on the internal front."

TEARGAS FIRED AT MARCHING STRIKERS

TONGAAT. '— Police
fired teargas cannisters
into a group of march-
ing strikers as they en-
tered Tongaat, on the
north coast, on -Thurs-
day.

About 2 000 workers
from’ the Tongaat’s
group’s David White-
head- Factory marched
from the factory to a
meeting at a Tongaat
Hotel. Women workers
were taken there by the
union by bus.

The police who fol-
lowed the marching
workers, blocked off a
side-street and then
fired three teargas can-
nisters into the crowd.

Workers streamed up
another side-street in
an attempt to escape
the gas. .

Brigadier John -Vis-
ser, Port Natal’s Divi-
sional Commissioner,
confirmed that “a few
teargas cannisters” had
been used because
workers “failed to com-

to disperse”.
A spokesman for the

FUEL SHORTAGE AFFECTING ATC OPERATIONS, FLIGHTS

AIR Tanzania Corporation (ATC) is making arrangements to

import some-chemicals for water methanol

irom Madagascar

to cep its Fokker Friendship fleet in the air.

ATC sources said in Dar es Salaam yesterday that the
airline was trying to import sulphuric acid and caustic soda
which BP Tanzania badly needed to make the available
methanol usable for Fokker Friendship planes.

The Managing Director of BP
Tanzania, Mr. N. Callander said
that his firm had the 'methanol
but it lacked sulphuric acid and
caustic soda normally imported
by another firm whose identity
he declined to, disclose.

The sources said until
yesterday the airline was still
Operating 50 per cent of its fleet
— two Boeing 737, three Fokker
Friendships and one Twin Otter
— because of fuel shortage and
non-availability of water
methanol.

Although the airline had cut
down on its operations, the
sources said none of the regional
routes were affected except last
Sunday when the Seychelles
flight had to be cancelled.

‘he airline wuld continue to
operate to’ Harare, Blantyre,
Lusaka, Bujumbura, _ Kigali,
Seychelles, Muscat, Djibout,
Tananarive and Moroni, they
said.

Mr. Callander said his firm
would be supplying aviation jut
fuel to both Air Tanzania and
international airlines meeting 55
per cent of their demand until

uly 14 when BP expects another
umpover from the Tanzania-

talian Petroleum Refinery
(TIPER).

Tanzania Petroleum
Development Corporation
(TPDC) officials said the current
fuel shortage in the country
resulted ‘from ‘TIPER’s low

refinery capacity.

The sources said TIPER’s
small capacity in relation to the

country’s demand forced the.

Government to import some
refined oil products which
consumed lot of _ foreign
exchange.

As early as June, this year,
etroleum = companies were
forced to reduce supplies of all
petroleum products by about 50
per cent.

THEFT AT DAR ES SALAAM PORT--CCM members at the Dar es Salaam Port have urged
the Tanzania Harbours Authority (THA) to dismiss unscrupulous employees who
engage in theft. In a message to the THA management, 55 new members who were
presented with CCM cards at the Kurasini Harbours Club recently said that
theft, which has been thriving at the port for quite a long time, had tarnished
the image of the port within and outside the country. They noted that motor
vehicles, cloth and medicines were "vanishing" from the port and wondered
whether all the missing goods were "being destroyed by the sea water." "We
have discovered that a container was stolen from the port and a government
vehicle with registration number STC 154 was used in stealing sugar from the
Ubungo Shed Number XI. Since this is a shameful act, we suggest that the
culprits, should be dismissed," the message said. It also asked the Party
and JUWATA (Tanzania Workers’ Organisation) branches at the port not to defend
"these great enemies of the national economy." The members further observed
that there had not been fairness when meting judgement on senior officials
and the low-class employees found guilty of theft. Commending the good job
done by the Port Police, the CCM members appealed to the THA management to
provide the necessary assistance, including equipment, to the police to enable
them fight the thefts effectively. The ceremony was attended by the Dar es
Salaam Port Finance Manager, Ndugu Alison Xerox Sila, who promised to deliver
the message to the THA management. [Text] [Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English

SUGAR SALES TO EEC--TANZANIA is to sell some 10,000 tonnes of sugar to the
European Economic Community (EEC) during the 1981/82 season, the National
Assembly was informed yesterday. The Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Ndugu
Lumuli Kasyupa told the House during question-time that already some 8,100
tonnes had been transported from the Tanganyika Planting Company (TPC) in
Moshi to Dar es Salaam. Answering a question by the Moshi Rural MP Ndugu

A. Meena, the Minister said as a result Tanga, Arusha, Singida and Kilimanjaro
regions--the main consumers of TPC sugar--had less stock in their godowns,
and steps had been taken to subsidize them from Dar es Salaam. The Minister
said only TPC produced export quality sugar. Tanzania exports sugar to EEC
countries under the Lome agreements. [Excerpt] [Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS

MMM ELECTION VICTORY ANTICIPATED, FUTURE POLICIES VIEWED
Port Louis LE MAURITIEN in English 17 Jun 82 p 6

[Text] The road linking the airport to the capital city of Port Louis was
jammed with thousands of spectators. As politicians with loudspeakers offered
impassioned campaign promises, khaki-uniformed police quietly patrolled the
crowds, separating fervid supporters of the various political parties. The
final week of electioneering on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius had all
the tension of a neck-and-neck race. But if the national polls are even close
to the mark, the results are not at all in doubt: the long-ruling, pro-Western
Labour Party will be out and the youthful, left-wing Mauritian Militant Move-
ment (MMM) will be in.

The expected passing of the old guard is perhaps inevitable, but the new
guard's agenda portends changes that have U.S. officials on edge. The MMM
has pledged to "liberate" the atoll of Diego Garcia, the prime American naval
base in the Indian Ocean. Demands to return Diego Garcia to Mauritius are
unlikely to be backed with any military maneuvering along the lines of a Falk-
lands-style takeover. But some Western observers fear the MMM may offer Mos-
cow similar military facilities on Mauritius, a move that would add to the
Russian presence in the Indian Ocean, where Madagascar and the Seychelles
already welcome Soviet ships. MMM leader Paul Berenger dismisses such con-
cerns. "We will close our seaports to the warships of all major military
powers", he told Newsweek's Peter Younghusband. "We will fight democratically
and diplomatically to re-establish our sovereignty over Diego Garcia".

Nonalignment: Berenger's leftist party has other changes in mind--and clearly
Mauritius is ripe for change. Inflation runs at 23 percent. 50,000 people
are jobless and almost one-fifth of the island's 950,000 residents are trying
to emigrate. "From the day we take control", promises Berenger, "we will
direct our efforts to check the island's crippling unemployment". Berenger's
attacks on the Labour Party for "corrupation, mismanagement and stagnation"
have received a sympathetic hearing, as have his calls for a limited national-
ization of the sugar industry--the backbone of the Mauritius economy. If
elected, the party plans to introduce a socialist government along the line
of French President Francois Mitterand's. As to foreign policy, Berenger
insists: "We will be strickly nonaligned. Certainly Mauritius will be taken
out of the Western sphere, but it will not be moved to the Eastern sphere".

WHITE, BLACK MINERS EQUALLY CONCERNED OVER PAY
Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 1 Jul 82 p 4
[Editorial]

[Text] THE PAY of all black workers on
gold mines, collieries and some ©
platinum mines will be increased
from tomorrow, according to a
notice from the Chamber of Mines.

That may sound like good news
until you hear the appalling scales -
for black miners, underground and
. ‘on the surface. .

A statement issued by the
Chamber of Mines Public Relations
Department .gives the new cash:
minimum starting rate for novice
underground workers. as R129 a
‘month plus free board, lodging and
other benefits estimated to be worth
an additional R90 a month.

The new minimum starting rate.
for novice surface workers will be
R100 a month. This, the report says,
represents an increase of R10 or
about eleven percent over the
previous starting rate of R90 a
month for novice surface workers.

This startling revelation about the
abysmally low pay. given to black
mineworkers comes at a time when
there are moves to improve their lot
significantly, but it will take a long
time for them to get a decent wage
scale.

It also coincidentally happens that-
the Chamber is having talks with
white unions on. a new labour-
relations structure that includes the
relaxation of racial job bars — in

also recognize that their ability to use foreign languages and to do difficult
computations does not make them leaders or give them the wisdom to change their
society. Instead of that, it would be useful for them to use this ability as an
important implement in learning how to be a true Kenyan, in preparing themselves
to be of service to Kenya, and in defending our nation against the corrupting
influences of foreign countries.

These are the things I wanted to emphasize today about this important matter.
The government will continue with its efforts to expand the education system

and to make a plan that will be better able to stick to the needs of the country.
Concerning this, I want the nation to know that the whole education system, from
primary school through university, is being looked at and perhaps it will force
a large change to be made soon.

Kenyans, my friends, another think that I want to talk about today is that which
I touched on a little concerning the importance for the citizens and the govern-
ment cooperating in the efforts of development. While we are celebrating Self-
Rule Day this year, let us remember that it is the willingness of sacrifice for
your country and the unity of all Kenyans which enabled us to seize our indepen-
dence, not just great difficulties and many problems. In those years, we recog-
nize that to rely on oneself and give oneself as sacrifice were important in
seizing our independence.

Our nation must be developed with great effort which must be given, as in the
time of fighting for independence, honestly and in the resolve of self-sacrifice.
When I was talking on education here earlier, I pointed out how the citizens
themselves helped to advance education by their own voluntary efforts. Now I
want to emphasize that the efforts of the individual people along with the ef-
forts of unity in the spirit of Harambee, will continue to be the foundation of
the development of our nation.

Unfortunately, from time to time you will see in some section of our country
people expecting the government to do everything for the development of the
economy and society. But the truth is that, even if the government would es-
tablish factories, schools, health stations and build roads, there would be
very few things which could be carried out to improve our economy if the citi-
zens themselves do not work hard at their affairs, especially farming. There
are some sections of this country where there could be great development of the
economy and the society, and many opportunities for work are available, if only
the citizens will recognize the need to work hard on their farms. The develop-
ment of our nation must come from the citizens themselves while the government
gives help. This does not mean that the government is abandoning its responsi-
bilities to help the efforts of the citizens in all the affairs of the economy.
But the meaning of development is development of the citizens, and thus the
citizens themselves must be made to share completely, as individuals and as a
whole.

Moreover, in 1978, I told the nation that it is the small efforts and there is
no need for vast programs carried out by the government, that all as a whole
show where we have arrived in advancing our development aims. This is still
true today. And so I ask the citizens in every section of this country not to



In his colum, Dr Treurnicht complained that certain inhabitants of the Cape
(whose names are not mentioned) are still in the National Party, while the
smear writers were suspended. He also insinuated that supporters of "integra-
tion of the coloreds" are being tolerated in the National Party.

Dr Treurnicht, who was asked by Mr Vorster to become editor of the HOOFSTAD,
wrote among other things the following: "When some people get hold of the
concept of renewal or new, they see visions and grow wings... New standards
and principles can mean only one thing, and that is the rejection of Christian
ethics and of the morals and traditions which have been built on them over the
centuries. Is that what we want? No, thank you!"

Support for his position came in a public letter from 10 clergymen in which
they wrote, among other things: "The guarantee of our continued existence is
ever more seen in the unity of larger numbers of whites. And in order to place
larger numbersof whites under the same religious and cultural roof, our Chris-
tian principles must be stretched and twisted and ultimately even replaced in
order to bring all those who do not necessarily belong together out of convic-
tion, together anyhow."

Hence, it is clear that Dr Treurnicht's position was grist for the mill of the
radical right wingers. Later on, this article was also distributed as a pam-
phlet, which aroused violent reactions.

The internal fights within the National Party reached a high with Dr Albert
Hertzog's "Calvinist" speech in the House of Assembly in April 1968. This
aroused vehement reactions from, among others, Mr Vorster and Mr Ben Schoeman.
But Dr Treurnicht happily defended the Hertzog group in his newspaper. On

30 April he wrote: "The question is, who deviates from the principles of the
National Party and who rejects the Christian-National Party basis of our whole
social, educational, political and national life. Without being falsely pious:
Who stands by the Lord and His Word?"

Dr Hertzog and his followers were apparently convinced that Dr Treurnicht would
join them. He was coopted for the committee for party development, but he
declined. When some of them went to talk to him to find out where he stood,

he allegedly said: "Fellows, you do know that I agree with everything you say,
don't you, but can't we try another blow from the inside?"

On 10 October, he tried to defend himself in his column as follows: "As far
as I am concerned, if there is a need to fight against mistaken positions ta-
ken by some National Party members (not to mention the opposition’) -- and
there is definitely a need to fight -- then I want to do it within the National
Party. I am not in favor of a breaking away."

On 11 October, Dawie reacted in DIE BURGER by writing that, after hesitating,
Dr Treurnicht had made a noise which sounded like "no" to the top leaders of
the Hertzog group. "He said that he wants to continue to do within the party
what Dr Hertzog now perforce will have to do from without. Without mincing

Captain Strauss: "I don’t know. I only took him into custody."
According to Captain Strauss, Dr Aggett was never assaulted in his presence.

Adjutant Officer Walter McPherson, attached to the security branch at the John
Vorsterplein prison for people arrested by the Security Police, also testified
that Dr Aggett never mentioned to him that he had been assaulted.

On 4 January he complained of backpain. He wanted to send him to a doctor,
but Dr Aggett said that he wanted to take a pain pill.

He also testified that he had seen Dr Aggett nearly every day and that he had
not noticed any change in his appearance or behavior. He never caused any
problems and carried out all orders.

Key

Adjutant Officer Johannes Stephanus Marais, who was in charge at the police
station on the evening of 5 February, testified that he was entitled to use
the sealed duplicate key, which gives access to the cells of those arrested
by the Security Police, in cases of emergency. However he went without that
key to the cell after Sergeant James Achenbach told him that Dr Aggett was
dead in his cell.

Summoned

Yesterday, a statement by Mr Maurice Smithers, who was arrested together with
Dr Aggett, was presented to magistrate Kotze. He issued an order to the effect
that Mr Smithers must be summoned to testify.

The investigation is continuing.
Magistrate Kotze is being assisted by Professor L.S. Smith. Lawyers P.G.
Haasbroek and Andre de Vries are presiding over the testimony, and lawyer P.J.

African ~ lakes. Lake

“Liambezi is only one part

of the Chobe river system,
which takes on four dif-
ferent names before it joins
the Zambesi.

Coming from Angola, it
forms the border between
the eastern and the western
Caprivi: At a point where it
takes a sharp turn to the
north east, it becomes the
Linyandi, and then flows
into Lake Liambezi. At the
other end, it emerges as the
Chobe, which then flows
into the mighty Zambesi.

It is the Chobe which
can flow in both directions.
The gradient of the river is
very slight, while the water
level in the Zambesi_ can
change dramatically from
season to season.

In some seasons the level
of the Zambesi can rise to
as much as 10m, which is
much higher than the
Chobe’s: gradient. In other
words, the level of water in
the Zambesi is higher than
the highest point of the
Chobe, where it leaves
Lake Liambezi.

This means the pressure
of water from the Zambesi
is large enough to over-
come the slight gradient of
the Chobe, and water is

pushed'back into that river.
When this happens, the
Chobe simply turns around
and flows back into the

lake.

The whole river system
is linked to Lake Kariba
“threugh the Zambesi, and
it is this route that Kariba
weed, or Salvinia Molesta,
took to infest the ‘Chobe
‘river system.

If steps are not taken to
stop the further spread of.
the weed, it may reach the
Kavango system, threaten-
ing the Okavango swamps
and causing major
problems for the planned
water provision project for
central Namibia.

Long term planning by
the Dept of Water Affairs
sees water from the
Kavango ». reaching
Windhoek via a canal
which will take water into
the Omatako dam, from
there into the Von Bach
dam and into Windhoek’s
water supply.

The canal linking Groot-
fontein with the Omatako
dam is already being con-
structed. The weed could
foul up pumps and cause
blockages if it reached the
projected canal.

Although the Kavango
and Kwando/Chobe river
systems are separate, there
is a spillway which links
the two in particularly
rainy seasons. This is the
cylinder spillway, which
carries excess flood water
from the Kwando river
into the top of . the
‘Okavango swamp. ~~



SIERRA LEONE

CONTEH WILLING TO BE OAU SECRETARY GENERAL IF ASKED
Freetown DAILY MAIL in English 25 Jun 82 pp 3-4

[Text] The international respect and prestige of any country however big
or small is in most cases determined by the country's Foreign Minister or
Minister of External Affairs.

This is why these days Heads of state and governments engage in indepth per-
sonality-search to get highly respectable and dignified individuals to assume
the post of foreign Minister who in political jargons are nicknamed "the in-
ternational walking sticks of the Heads of State."

In almost all African countries and indeed all developing or third world states,
most of our Foreign Ministers are young people who must have acquired a wealth
of academic training abroad.

There are many reasons for this; the chief being that most times at interna~
tional conferences, the Foreign Ministers represent their Heads of State.

You will agree that in such circumstances, the Foreign Minister should not
only show political maturity, but he should command the respect which his
home country demands in the international scene.

Awards

History in fact will place on record that since independence, Sierra Leone
underwent the most crucial test of international political maturity between
1979-1982.

This period includes Sierra Leone's hosting the Organisation of African Unity,
OAU, the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS to name just two.

Suffice it to mention that between this period, Sierra Leone's foreign Minis—
ter, Dr. Abdulai Osman Conteh, excelled himself admirably.

Indeed if anything praiseworthy should be attributed to the Foreign Minister,
it is but fit and proper to firstly say well done to no less a person than
President Siaka Stevens, the man who exposed the hitherto unknown Dr. Conteh
to international light

44



conclusions as 'an unacceptable coup d'etat.' With this he also turned against
the church leader Dr A.J. van der Merwe, who played an important role at
Cottesloe."

When the NGK Synod of the Cape met 10 months later and, at the suggestion of
Dr Koot Vorster, did not associate itself with Cottesloe, Dr Treurnicht also
participated in the debate. He said that the origins of race tensions were

reported one-sidedly and incompletely in the Cottesloe declaration, and that
the uncertainty among South Africans is the result of liberalistic pressure.

Professor W.J. van der Merwe, from the Seminary of Stellenbosch, pointed out
that Dr Treurnicht was 4 member of a study committee which prepared the docu-
ments for the Cottesloe deliberations, and that many of the conclusions were
derived from the study report which Dr Treurnicht helped prepare.

Thereupon Professor Van der Merwe said that it was a pity that "he did not
then enrich us with his knowledge as he did this afternoon."

The writers of the book then continued: "That which Professor Van der Merwe
put into words was frequently obvious later, like the fact that after the fact
Dr Treurnicht would covertly or rather openly attack.decisions and statements
made by fellow National Party members, about which he originally kept silent,
including within policy making bodies... That which happened after Cottesloe
also happened in other cases: that in due course Dr Treurnicht would turn
against people or institutions with which he_walked together a good way. The
leaders of the Refounded National Party [aye], with whom he refused at the
eleventh hour to hang together, provided the most bitter comments of all on
Dr Treurnicht's 'opportunism.'"

However, the Cottesloe episode assured Dr Treurnicht's rise. In 1965, he be-
came assistant chairman of the Cape Synod and in 1966, assistant chairman of

the General Synod of the NGK.

In 1967, he accepted the offer to become editor of the HOOFSTAD in Pretoria.
Shortly before leaving Capetown he said that he would not feel flattered to
be referred to as ultra-conservative, but it soon became clear that his news-
paper quickly became the focus of ultra-rightist groups. Not only did the
HOOFSTAD teem with far-right statements and neo-conservative propaganda, but
Dr Treurnicht himself began to act as spokesman for and protector of the
Hertzog group within the National Party, at a time of severe internal fights
about the undermining of the then prime minister, Mr John Vorster.

In Agust 1968, Mr Vorster decided to expel Dr Hertzog from the cabinet, and
the executive committee of the NP in Transvaal also took disciplinary steps
against seven individuals, who were known as the "smear writers" against Mr
Vorster. The action against the writers played a role in a controversial
column which Dr Treurnicht wrote on 3 January 1968 in the HOOFSTAD. This was
interpreted as an attack on Mr Vorster and on the government.

Dr Treurnicht wrote that too much is expected from the Afrikaners in order to
obtain political cooperation from English speakers.

In our "MEET YOUR MINISTERS" series today, I introduce to you for the first
time in these colums Dr. Abdulai Osman Conteh.

Born on August 5, 1945 at Pepel, northern Province, Dr. Abdulai Conteh is
the youngest person to be appointed Foreign Minister in this country's history.

The appointment followed his nomination as unopposed representative for Kam-
bia West constituency, for the 1977 General Elections.

He was also returned unopposed for the same constituency in the General Elec-
tions in April 982 and reappointed Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Dr. Conteh was educated at the Sierra Leone Muslim Association, AME Boys High
School and the Albert Academy. He entered King's College London University
in 1966 and obtained the Bachelor of Law degree with honours in 1969.

Post graduate studies took him to Lincoln's Inn, where he obtained the Bar-
rister at Laws in 1970; London University from where he graduated Master of
Law in 1971, and King's College, Cambridge where he read for and obtained
the Ph.D in 1974.

Dr. Conteh returned to Freetown in 1974, and was appointed State Counsel at
the Law Officers' Department.

From 1975-77, he was a teaching fellow at Fourah Bay College, University of
Sierra Leone, during which time he was also engaged in private practice.

Dr. Conteh has had several awards including National Scholar 1965; Common-
wealth Scholar 1966-69; Harold Porter Prize for Land Law, King's College,
London University 1969.

Cambridge University Athletics Blue 1970; and United Nations Fellowship in
international Law, 1976.

He was awarded the order of the 'Ngwa Ngwa' by the Republic of Korea in May,
1978.

In November 1979, he was decorated with the award of Commander of the National
Order of the Peoples Revolutionary Republic of Guinea by President Sekou Toure.

In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the state and in particular
for his work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Conteh was awarded the
Officer of the Order of the Republic of Sierra Leone (ORSL), Sierra Leone's
Premier award in the New Year's Honour's list, announced by President Siaka
Stevens.

Dr. Conteh presided over the General Asembly of the United Nations in 1978

as one of the Vice Chairmen for the Thirty Third Session of the General
sembly and in 1980/81 was Chairman of the OAU Council of Ministers.

“the final consolida-

ment and he did not
know if Venda would
at some stage in the fu-
ture lay any further
claims to South Afri-
ean land including
Louis Trichardt and

Messina.
Addressing a Press con-
ference on the final
tha, in whose parlia-
mentary constituency
the affected land falls,
said South Africa was
to receive a total of
48 000 ha from Venda
while Venda was to re-
ceive 53000 ha from
South Africa. ~

22-7 Retain

‘Venda was also to retain
another 20 000 ha of
land which had been
in dispute.

This last piece of land is
the only part of Venda
not linked in any way
ta the main body of the
State. It is separated
by a White corridor of
land which includes

. Louis Trichardt.

Mr Botha said Venda ©

had agreed to give a
strip of land on its.

northern. boundary
known as the “Limpo-
pe Corridor” to South
Africa.

Militarised
The Limpopo Corridor,
he said, was a milita-

rised zone and it was ‘

right on the Zimbabwe
border and was com
pletely uninhabitable.
In exchange Venda
was to receive the
Nwanedzi farms — an

- area of 50 000 ha witha

well developed infra-
structure.

All White farms in this
area had been expro-
priated over the years.

The only two: White
farms affected by the
consolidated _ plans
were on the western
side of Venda and were

. called “Lukin and Sa-

laita.”
Bought-

Mr Botha said these
farms would have to be
bought. Right in the
south of Venda, the
farms in the Elimkop,
Bandelierkop and
Seekmekaar areas
which had previously
been expropriated for
Venda are now to be
returned to South
Africa.

Farms in this area
would be advertised in
the normal way and
sold to South African
farmers, Mr Botha
said. .

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DISCUSSES DRAFT BUDGET
Dakar LE SOLEIL in French 2 Jun 82 p 3

[Text] At the budget session of the National Assembly, Christian Valantin,
reporter for the finance and economic affairs committee, made some general
remarks on the draft budget, following the report by Hameth Diop. Mr
Valantin analyzed the international and national context in which the
economy had developed during the preceding budget year.

In regard to developments abroad, he referred to the negative effects of
the rise in the dollar value, the devaluation of the French franc, American
policy in interest rates, and the recession in the OECD countries.

Internally, the bad agricultural year of 1980-1981 and the estimated 5.7 per-
cent decline in the construction and public works sector contributed to
worsening the situation.

The trade balance showed a deficit of 136.5 billion in 1981. To deal with
this development, the government continued its effort to rectify the economic
and financial situation and undertook to correct the important balances
through a plan for economic and financial recovery. The rectification in-
volved settlement of the government's outstanding payments and refinancing of
the public debt, while for the foreign debt a rescheduling was arranged with
the Paris Club. A national effort was also made to progressively reduce
prices of certain basic commodities. At the same time, rural incomes were
increased.

The draft budget totals Fr 230,207,750,000 compared to Fr 211,412,199,000
for the previous period, for an increase of 9 percent. The operating budget
is Fr 51,373,750,000. In regard to revenues, no new taxes or tax increases
are planned. Discussing expenditures, the reporter pointed out that for this
realistic budget the operating budget had been adjusted to take into account
students leaving training schools, ministerial department needs which had
been underestimated in previous years, and higher government contributions to
international organizations.

The proposed investment budget is Fr 23 billion.

country had also failed to
deliver to the peasants the
much-needed advice on
proper agricultural skills, he
pointed out. .

“There has been little develop-
ment in the agricultural sector
since 1972/73", he said.

He underlined the realities of
embracing drought -resistant crops
to overcome food shortages when
he told the House that whereas
maize, wheat and paddy produc-
tion had been fluctuating, the
countrywide output of cassava,
sorghum and millet had increased
satisfactorily every year.

Millet and sorghum production
increased to 970,400 tonnes in the
1980/81 season from 277,300 tons
in 1972/73. Cassava production in-
creased from 891,000 tonnes to
1,658,300 tonnes, he added.

The production of cash crops
was varied, with some increases

and. decreases. Coffee output in-
creased fram 47 517 tame int

1972/73 to 63,500 tons in 1980/81

Botha Attacks KP Leaders
Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22
[Article: "People Behind Dr Treurnicht Forced Him Out of Cabinet" |

[Text] Prime Minister P.W. Botha said yesterday that Drs Andries Treurnicht
and Ferdi Hartzenberg did not freely resign from the cabinet but were, in his
opinion, forced out by the people behind them.

Mr Botha responded, during the third reading debate on the budget, to a speech
made by Dr Treurnicht earlier in the debate, and noted that Dr Treurnicht has
already had three opportunities to outline his direction in the House of Assem-
bly. "I don't know anyone, except for him, who knows where he is heading.”

Signatures

"He was a member of my cabinet. I appointed him to that position. I would
like to tell him that he has disappointed me for the umpteenth time."

The prime minister -- who said that he was not speaking in a spirit of bitter-
ness toward Dr Treurnicht -- confronted the leader of the Conservative Party
with statements he made when he was still leader of the Transvaal National
Party.

While Mr Botha spoke, the KP leader for the most part stared fixedly ahead and
wrote something on a piece of paper.

Mr Botha stated that it is a pity that Dr Treurnicht is now contributing to

the damaging of the party which he once helped lead. Dr Treurnicht has, to-
gether with other party leaders, signed certain documents, such as the election
manifesto of the NP and the action program.

“We have made commitments toward the country with our signatures."

Dr Treurnicht now boasts of the 18 members behind him. They got to where they
are under the banner of the NP,

While they were in the NP they did not tell the country that there were things
they had doubts about -- they did, however, wisper and count heads following
the first brief session of parliament last year and at other times.

The prime minister quoted from the program of principles of the NP in which
it is said, among other things, that the party endeavors to achieve justice
for all population groups in the country.

Turn About

Dr Treurnicht also signed the action program. In it, it is said that the NP
stands for the distribution of power among whites, coloreds and Indians within
a system of consultation and joint responsibility, where it touches on common
issues.

SOUTH AFRICA

NEW BOOK PROVIDES INSIGHT, BACKGROUND FOR TREURNICHT'S BREAK WITH NP
Insight in Treurnicht's Career
Johannesburg RAPPORT in Afrikaans 30 May 82 p 10

[Article by Louis Oosthuysen: "He Changed Colors Right Before Important Deci-
sions"

[Text] A remarkable story about how Dr A.P. Treurnicht
changed colors several times at moments of decisive decision-
making, is being revealed in a chapter on his career, which
is part of the book "Quarrel Among Brothers," which deals
with the split of the National Party [ne | earlier this year.

A discussion of the book follows.

In the chapter about Dr Treurnicht's career, under the title "From Piketberg
to Waterberg," the story is told of the role he played as editor of DIE
KERKBODE at the time of the Cottesloe deliberations. This is followed by the
role he played as editor of the Pretoria afternoon newspaper HOOFSTAD during
the Afrikaner squabbles of the sixties and how he played cat and mouse with
Dr Albert Hertzog and his followers.

After having served in the administration of various municipalities, he was
appointed editor of DIE KERKBODE in 1960, the year of big storms in South
Africa.

As far as church life is concerned, this was the year of the Cottesloe deliber-
ations, following the stormy disturbances organized by the PAC [Pan African
Congress | and the Sharpeville shooting which followed. In the aftermath of
Cottesloe, Dr Treurnicht played a role which assured his rise within the church
hierarchy, and which probably led to his landing in politics later on, because
of his reputation for "conservatism."

The book notes: "Dr Treurnicht was a member of one of the study committees of

MINISTER DISCUSSES NATION'S ENERGY PROSPECTS, PROJECTS

_of the plant

THE Government is to spend
some 4,565 million/- for con-
structing the proposed am-
monia and urea plant at
Kilwa in Lindi Region for
utilising the natural gas reser -
ves at Songo Songo, the
Minister for Water and
Kassum, told the National
Assembly in Dar es Salaam
yesterday. :

Presenting the 1982/83
estimates for his Ministry,
Ndugu Kassum told the
House that efforts were now
underway to identify the sour-
ces of financing for the
project whose production is
scheduled to begin towards
the end of 1985.

Ndugu Kassum said his
Ministry had now confirmed
sufficient gas reserves at
Songo Songo to satisfy
requirements of the proposed
ammonia and urea plant,

He said surveys were now
being carried out in order to
select the site for the erection
capable of
producing about 345,000 ton-
nes of ammonia and 520,000
tonnes of urea a year.

“My Ministry believes that
the 41 billion cubic metres of
gas so far confirmed at Songo
Songo, plus anticipated future
discoveries at Kimbiji, the
Zanzibar Channel and along
the southern coast of Tan-
zania, could provide sub-
stantial quantities of natural
gas”, Ndugu Kassum said.

‘Vhe Minister stated that’ in or-
der to ensure the nation derived
maximum benefit from its gas

97

resources, a separate study on the
utilisation of gas is being
prepared,

“We will then be in a position to
make a choice for future develop-
ment on the basis of the options
that the study will provide”, he
said.

The Minister further informed
the House that the Tanzania
Government, through the Tan-
zania Petroleum Development
Corporation (TPDC), holds 74 per
cent in Kilwa Ammonia Company
Limited, (KILAMCO), and
AGRICO Overseas “Investment
Corporation (of the United States)
has the remaining 26 per cent.

In the area of oil exploration,
Ndugu Kassum said phase one of
the Songo Songo Drilling
Programme was completed in Oc-
tober last year. He said this was
a two-well operation designed to
appraise the hydrocarbon poten-
tial of the Songo Songo field.

This was financed by the World
Bank under a 30 million dollar
(283m/-) credit to the Government
through the International

Development Association (IDA),
he said, adding that one of the
wells, (SS.6) onshore was aban-
doned on technical grounds.

Ndugu Kassum further ex-
plained that the other well (SS-5)
was successfully drilled to its ter-
minal depth and will be converted
to a gas producer well for
KILAMCO project.

He told the House that due to
the encouraging results of phase
one, the World Bank, together
with the Organisation of
Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC), and the European In-
vestment Bank, agreed to co-

finance the second phase of the
drilling operation with a US 40
million dollars (about 378m/-)

credit to the Government.

TANZANIA


network of opposition’? members in the country, it is
unlikely that it could organise anti-government
demonstrations or strikes. As Banda has doubtless
feared for several years, any threat to the last years of
his rule would almost certainly come from within the
cabinet, possibly by more than one individual.

Banda’s difficulties on this score are in danger of
being greatly increased by the failure of Mozambique
to manage its railways and its two ports, Beira and
Nacala, upon which Malawi depends almost entirely.

In July last year, Mozambique and Malawi
established diplomatic relations. Although for
several years Malawi Railways has had an office in
Beira, in addition now to the Malawian diplomats in
Maputo, practical relations with Mozambique ap-
pear to be minimal. Mozambique has not yet
established its own diplomats in Lilongwe, and ef-
forts by Malawi to negotiate rehabilitation of the
railways and ports, with the help of the Southern
African Development Co-ordination Conference
(SADCC), have so far come to nothing other than a
promise of Canadian financé for repairing the
railway to Nacala.

At present we understand that there are over 1,500
Malawian containers at Nacala awaiting transport to
Malawi. But at present the Mozambicans have only
one fork-lift truck (two others appear to have been
canibalised) and one inoperable gantry (a new one is
waiting there to be assembled). As a result it appears
that not more than 15 containers can be moved per
day. Whenever there is heavy rainfall the piles of
containers sink into the mud, the railway floods and
subsides and Malawi’s container traffic comes to a
complete standstill. At the beginning of this month
the Mozambican minister of public works and
housing, Julio Carrillo and the minister of ports and
land transport, Alcantara Santos, went to Nacala to
“familiarise themselves with the situation’’.

The problem is management, not finance or
technicalities. In the short-term — and Malawi
cannot wait long — the obvious solution is for
Malawi Railways to negotiate a management con-
tract for the Blantyre-Beira and the Liwonde-Nacala
railways and at least the Nacala container terminal.
But this suggestion immediately meets a political
hurdle: the association between Malawi and South
Africa in the context of the MNR. Mozambican
authorities believe that MNR guerrillas have at times
used bases in Malawi to receive weapons and supplies
from South Africa, an allegation denied by Malawi.
Banda obviously is not averse to the weakening by
the MNR of his marxist neighbour. But with the
MNR jeopardising Malawi’s lifeline (apart from the
bad effect it has on Mozambique-Malawi relations, it
has both blown up the railway and reportedly fired
on Malawian trucks travelling across Mozambique to
the ports), he cannot now afford to encourage it in
any way. The only alternative to the Mozambican
transport route is the railway via Chipata in Zambia
to South Africa, via Zimbabwe. It has limited
capacity and is twice as expensive as the Mozambique

22



organisations have also been dismissed or shuffled.

The return to Malawi of Orton Chirwa, leader of
the. banned opposition Malawi Freedom Movement
(Mafremo), in controversial circumstances on
Christmas eve last year, has now further complicated
political equations. After leaving Malawi in 1964 he
was based in Dar es Salaam. There are then a number
of versions about events leading up to his return: —

1) Chirwa wrote to Banda saying that he wanted to return to
Malawi to spend his last years in his native land. Banda was then
successfully persuaded by European friends to reply to Chirwa in
fairly conciliatory terms. After further correspondence, perhaps at
times chanhelled through western diplomatic intermediaries, it was
tacitly understood that Chirwa would be allowed back, discreetly
and without fanfare. He then left Dar for Lusaka, where his wife,
Vera lectured at the university. Shortly before Christmas he drove
with his wife and son to Chipata and from there to the Mchinji
border crossing, where he understood that he would be taken
discreetly, on the strength of the ‘‘arrangements” he had made
with Banda, to a safe house somewhere in Malawi.

2).Chirwa was determined to return to Malawi in almost any
event. It was arranged with his Mafremo colleagues inside Malawi,
possibly with some help from the Zambian Special Branch, that he
would be secretly infiltrated into Malawi before triumphantly
announcing himself in the hope that. Malawians would rally to his
support.

3) Chirwa and his family went to Chipata to reconnoitre a
clandestine return to Malawi. Tipped off by Zambians, the
Malawian Special Branch abducted him from Zambia.

What is fairly certain is that.having spent-several
weeks in detention he was transferred with his family
to a house, probably somewhere in ‘the’ central
region. According to ¢lose ‘associates, the Chirwas
were treated: well in comifortable surroundings. In
April there were unconfirmed but ‘independent
reports that he:had been seen ‘in his home: town ‘of
Mzimba (Chirwa is a Tonga) in the northern region
and that he had been taken with an official escort on
a tour of Malawi. (One report referred to-a Police
Mobile Unit escort). If these reports are broadly true,
Chirwa must have been pardoned by Banda.

There are a number of deductions and ‘partially
confirmed reports to’ support this thesis:- a) it’ is
unlikely that Chirwa would have taken his wife and
son to Malawi unless he-had been: assured of safety
once there — it is unconceivable that Mafremo could
have smuggled him back without Malawian security
soon finding out b) ‘shortly. after his arrest. we’ un-
derstand that Banda called a ‘cabinet meeting to
discuss the episode. Unconfirmed reports say that
John Ngwiri, who as secretary to the ‘cabinet is
closely involved with Special Branch affairs; received
presidential rebuke for Chirwa’s highly publicised
arrest c) as a former minister of justice and attorney-
general, Chirwa is one of the’ few. Malawian
politicians educated to a standard of Banda’s liking
d) it is not uncharacteristic of.-Banda to be
magnanimous on rare occasions — the gist being that
Banda would have the satisfaction of showing his
former, long-exiled colleague how successfully
Malawi had developed in his absence. And‘e) ‘nor is it

MINISTER OUTLINES STRATEGY TO ENABLE FOOD SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 30 Jun 82 p1

[Article by Isaac Mruma]

[Text]

THE MINISTER for
Agriculture, Professor John
Baptist Machunda, yester-
day outlined an elaborate
strategy to enable the
country attain self-
sufficiency in food crops
production. .
President the multi-
pronged strategy in the
National Acsembly,
Professor Machunda
stressed the need for
proper farming methods,
the utilisation of ap-
propriate technologies for
'farmwork and keeping
down production costs to
enable peasants profit from
their undertakings.
Failure to do this would
frustrate national efforts to
meet the objectives of the
Structural Adjustment
Programme (SAP), he told
the House when tabling his
Ministry’s estimates for the
1982/83 financial year.
Professor Machunda ad-
mitted that little change had
been achieved in Tanzania’s
agricultural practices ten

years after the much-
publicised directive to
revolutionise farming

methods throughout the coun-

try.
The strategy includes the
establishments and

strengthening of farm centres
throughout the country to
distribute fertiliser, seeds,
pesticides and other im-

101

plements such as hoes, ox-
ploughs and spares and com-
ponents.

Already, there were 22 such
centres in the country but that
there was no co-ordination
among the various authorities
on their use, something that
would be emphasised during
the coming year, he said.

The Minister said efforts
would be made to increase the
number of animal drawn farm
implements for culvitation
and farm transportation. He
said lack of spares and com-
ponents had reduced the num-
ber of ox-ploughs which were
in use during 1980/81 from
159,152 to 127,461.

Professor Machunda said
existing tractors would be
rehabilitated and used for far-
ming especially in areas
where ox-cultivation and the
use of tractors had shown
promising results.

There would also be great
emphasis on the use of fer-
tilisers and manure in farms,
the latter in livestock areas,
the Minister explained.

The use of improved seed
would be encouraged and the
research institutions would
continue undertaking trials
on better seeds which

produced more per unit area.

He further said the ministry
would continue coordinating
and controlling all
agricultural research ac-
tivities in the country.

Efforts would be directed at
fighting pests and vermin, and

DIA ASKS GOVERNMENT TO SET JA TOIVO FREE

WINDHOEK. — The
ruling _ Democratic
Turnhalle _ Alliance
of South West Afri-
ca-Namibia is going
to ask the South
African Government
again to free Her-
man Toivo Ja Toivo,
a founder member of
Swapo who is im-
prisoned on Robben
Island.

The vice-president of
the DTA, Dr Ben Afri-
ca, confirmed yesterday
the DTA would be mak-
ing such a request in
the near future.

The general = sec-
retary of the DTA, Mr
Johan de Waal, said
there had been several
requests to free Ja Toi-
vo in the past.

He said the feeling of
the DTA was that cer-
tain people had made
stronger statements la-
tely than. those for
which Ja Toivo and Ger-
son Veii — who has
since been released —
were convicted.

It is not known if the
South African Govern,
ment made any official
reaction in the past
about the DTA’s re-

4700/1545

quests to free Ja Toivo.

Mr John Viall, Chief
Director of the Admin-
istrator General’s of-
fice, said yesterday it
was stipulated in Resol-
ution 435 that when an
agreement had been
reached in South West
Africa, within six weeks
of the implementation
date so-called political
Prisoners must be re-
leased.

He added that if an
agreement could be
reached in South West
Africa an arrangement
would have to be made
so that people like Ja
Toivo and prisoners be-
ing held by Swapo in
prisons in Angola and
Zambia could be re-
leased to participate in
the election.

Mr Viall said that at
this stage there had
been no indication that
the five Western coun-
tries would send their
representatives to
Windhoek to see the in-
ternal parties,

The chances of an
agreement being reach-
ed depended on the re-
action of Swapo, the

30

NAMIBIA

front-line states and
Nigeria after the West-
ern powers had. com-
pleted their dis-
cussions, he said.

The discussions begin
today in Washington,
where a South African
delegation was consul-
ted last week.

In Windhoek, news-
Papers are. speculating
over what will happen if
an agreement is reach-
ed and the election date
is set for March next
year.

A March date will
mean that the election
machine will have to
start moving into ac.
tion in August.

The Republican,
mouthpiece of the DTA,
reported recently that
the Windhoek Show
would not be able to
take place as the Unit-
ed Nations would need
the Showgrounds.

Another report said ~

the Berg Hotel, trans-
formed into offices for
the Administrator-Gen-
eral, who has since
moved to South West
House, would be the
UNO’s headquarters
during an election.

BRIEFS

NEW HQ FOR POLICE--BUILDING consultants should be engaged to design a new
headquarters for Harare's 550-strong municipal police force, a council com-
mittee has recommended. The exact site for the new building has not yet been
decided but it would be somewhere on Gaul Avenue where the present headquarters
are, Harare's director of works, Mr Les Mitchell, said yesterday. About 250
ex-combatants have been integrated into the force since the council decided

to employ them last year. More than 250 are still to join. Mr Mitchell said
the present headquarters were not large enough for the expanding force and

it was probable that the Dairy Marketing Board would take over part of the

old headquarters. The council estimated last year that the building would
cost $200 000 but this figure was expected to increase because of rising costs.

RICE IMPORTS--RICE will be imported into Zimbabwe and should become available
towards the end of August, a spokesman for the Grain Marketing Board said yes-
terday. The GMB has been appointed as the Government agent to import, handle
and sell the rice. But, the spokesman said, there was no indication yet of
the basis for selling or the price. However, some of the usual conditions

of sale were applicable and the minimum quantity sold would be one tonne in
any transaction. Although no orders were being taken yet, inquiries about
the rice could be addressed to the local sales manager, the GMB, Box 8014,

BRITISH HAWK JETS--LONDON--The Zimbabwe Air Force is to take delivery on Tues-
day of the first batch of Hawk advanced trainers. The handing over ceremony
has been arranged by the manufacturer, British Aerospace, and will be attended
by various dignitaries including the Zimbabwe High Commissioner here, Mr R. T.
Zwinoira, the Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, Dr S. T. Sek-
eramayi, and the commander of the Air Force, Air Marshal N. Walsh, and other
dignitaries. It is understood that four aircraft will be handed over with
another four in the pipeline to make up a full squadron. Further aircraft
will be made available if required to keep the squadron up to strength. The
Hawk costs about 43 million and the cost of the four aircraft, spares, train-
ing and maintenance forms part of a UK credit package. Although designed as
an advanced trainer the Hawk can easily be adapted to a variety of configura-
tions to transform it into a highly effective ground attack aircraft. [Text]

Officials Investigate Housing, Towns
Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22

[Article: "Members of Parliament and Provincial Council Members Investigate
Housing, Toms" |

[text] Prime Minister P.W. Botha announced yesterday that bottlenecks rela-
tive to housing and the whole question of town development will be investiga-
ted by a committee,

The committee, which will be made up of members of parliament and of provin-
cial council members, will investigate the following:

- Procedures and proposals to quickly establish housing lots which are within
the means of people who want new housing by paying special attention to sus-
tained calls for the simplification and acceleration of town development.

This could be done by eliminating or streamlining obstructive statutory regu-
lations, measures, procedures and practices;

- Procedures to transfer land to authorized institutions or any other mea-
sures in case the town development process does not progress as desired;

- Procedures to promote the use of land by, for example, permitting subdivi-
sion or the building of more than one housing unit on a lot or plot whenever
circumstances allow it; and

- Any other procedures which could promote the supplying of a sufficient num-
ber of housing lots and reduce their costs.

Mr Botha said that general complaints are being heard about the availability
of housing property. Accusations are being traded back and forth about red
tape and stumbling blocks being put in the way of the public at large in terms
of obtaining housing, irrespective of efforts made by the government.

The government felt that it wanted to carry out a thorough investigation.

Mr Botha noted in his statement that an investigative committee determined
5 years ago that the most important bottlenecks in the area of housing were

It is our belief that the journalists masquerading as super newsmen even when
they are little known in their countries are something else. We suspect that
some of the foreign journalists who come here are spies for terrorists and
their financers abroad.

That is why the government must keep the nut tight [;] the guidelines for
foreign journalists accreditation here issued by the Minister of Information
and Broadcasting early this [?year deserves] the support of the [?people of
this] country.

Time will come when we shall also ask the government to make it a rule that
all foreign media that want to be represented here should recruit local journ-
alists to do the job, for after all the courtesy and openhandedness we have
shown to these ungrateful newsmen is only putting our national interests at
peril.

THE United Nations Development Programme

(UNDP) has contributed a sum of 611,000 US dollars
towards the launching of communal water points pro-
ject at Dowa Boma and Mponela to provide clean
water around these areas.
The availability of funds from UNDP were com-
municated to members of the-District Development
Committee here at the Malawi Correspondence Col-
lege at Mvela in Chief Chiwele’s area. :

The Nominated Member of
Parliament from Dowa, Mrs.
Elizabeth Chowa, thanked the

acquire the funds for the project
geared at providing clean water
to the rural people.

She assured the members,
who included a senior official
from the Department of Lands,
Valuation and Water, who brie-
fed the DDC on the project,
that the community involved in
the project would comply with
the project’s requirements, for
its success.

The official said the Govern-
ment had acquired the money
from the UNDP in an effort to
supply clean water to the rural
population. .

He said the initial work on the
pilot project, was expected to

said in Pietermaritzburg yesterday. He said the Natal Provincial Administra-

ly. The present culling programme in the reserves would continue until the
handover. The Parks Board was excited about the prospect of developing new

ANTI-MULTIRACIAL BEACH CAMPAIGN--DURBAN--A massive campaign is to begin in
Durban soon to unseat Durban city councillors with Progressive Federal Party

this month to go ahead with the idea of a multiracial beach and a multiracial
swimming bath in the Snell Parade area on the beach front. The campaign will
get under way with a public meeting in the Durban City Hall on Monday night
under the umbrella of the "South Africa First Campaign" organisation. A rate-
payers' association will be formed at the meeting. Durban city councillor

Mr Cornelius Koekemoer revealed yesterday that he had thrown his full weight
behind the campaign to "break the super-liberal clique" who, he claims, con-
trols the council. He said people of all political affiliations, apart

from the PFP, had agreed to join the campaign. There had been great support
for the move to get rid of the super-liberals who were hell bent on integrat-
ing amenities in the city without caring for the conservative people and also
the city's holiday trade, which was a great money earner. Already thousands
of pamphlets advertising the meeting have been distributed in Durban. The
pamphlet says: "Don't let the PFP trample on your rights." Mr Koekemoer
said that when the city council elections were held later this year candidates
would be put up to oppose the "liberal candidates" who were forcing through
unpopular integration measures over the heads of a strong body of conservative
opinion. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 7 Jul 82 p 11]

Thus, we must always remember that there were many people who gave their lives
before self-rule was proclaimed. This can be seen as normal. But it is useful
for us to remember that, while I am giving this speech today and while you are
celebrating, about 60 percent of the people of Kenya were not born before the
beginning of self-rule on the first of June 1963. Thus, these youth, who indeed
are many in the country, do not know the truth concerning what went on before
self-rule. Because of this, it is important that those among you who have the
information about those former days make useful programs to make sure that the
youth are instructed on the efforts which were made by Kenyans to get democracy
and freedom of our nation. These efforts absolutely must not be forgotten. I
would like to say that I am grieved when I see that our youth seem not to re-
spect the order of the government and democracy they are enjoying, and which
have their foundation in the rule of law and respect for the rights of man. Our
freedom which remembers democracy to protect and extend the rights of man must
not be scorned. All these things, therefore, must be fully remembered in every-
thing we do.

It is because of things like this that the day of self-rule, as I have said,
must be a day on which we as a nation must take a careful look at events of the
past, present, and future. We must make sure that we learn from those things
which have already happened and those which are happening now and prepare our-
selves for those things which will happen. Moreover, this is a business which
must be carried out uprightly and in a manner which reminds us of the true mean-
ing of self-rule. Today, like the last time, I will follow the customary plan;
and, to do this, I remind you that, during the last few years, I have debated
with many of you concerning our skills to be relevant in the future. Today I
will talk about two questions which we must keep in mind while we continue to
strengthen our patriotism and prosperity in the aims we seek.

The first question I want to discuss with you today is that of preparing our youth
for their duties in the future. Our youth, young men and young women, whatever
they do and wherever they are, are very important. The future of our nation de-
pends on uprightness and how they understand the nation today and its needs and
how they give of themselves to arrive at these needs with honesty and effort.

This means that, for these youth to be able to confront their duties as they
must, their education must continue to be watched with care.

And to do this, we have to understand that this education for the youth comes
from two directions. First, there is the normal education in school, the trade
schools, the universities and other places of education. The second place where
education is found is that in which parents and family as a unit fulfill an im-
portant responsibility.

Now there is no doubt that, as far as the program of ordinary education is con-
cerned, our country has developed a long way since we took over the rule of the
country. There has been much growth in primary and secondary schools, in trade

THE first shots in the
Germiston __ district
provincial by-election
have been fired, with
Rightwing parties

claiming a “massive”

anti-Government vote
is looming.

Nomination day is on
Thursday and the by-
election is already shap- -
ing up into a battle of
the Right, with the Nat-
ional‘ Party, the Her-
stigte Nasionale Party
and the Conservative
Party likely to be the
only parties to contest
the seat.

So far all three par-
ties have announced
their candidates. .

It is unlikely that the
Progressive Federal
Party or the New Re-
public Party will enter
the by-election.

The NP_has nomi-
nated Mr Flip van der __
Walt, the HNP Mr Jack
Myburgh and the CP Mr
Willem Guy. ~
._ By nominating candi- :
dates the HNP and the
CP have squashed all
talk of a possible pact
against the NP.

Senior HNP officials

claim they have had
1 001 signatures accept-
ed by the electoral re-
turning officer, against
about 600 ‘accepted
from the CP.

The HNP forecasts a
total HNP vote of about
3.000 and a CP vote of
about 1 500. The result-
ing “anti-Government”
vote of 4500 will land

‘the NP

“in deep
trouble,” HNP officials
say.

The NP had little

more than token resist-
ance in the seat from
the old United Party in
1974 and the PFP in
1977.
In 1981 Mrs Bessie
Scholtz was returned
unopposed as the Nat-
ional Party Member of
Parliament and Mr Ben
van den Berg as NP
Member of the Provin-
cial Council. -.

But Mrs Scholtz has
since joined the CP. The

GUINEA-BISSAU

G-2 SAID TO BE MOST EFFICIENT ELEMENT IN COUNTRY
Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE in German 29 Jun 82 pp 5, 7
[Article by Guenther Krabbe]

[Text] The "Fourth Independence"--A Moderate Police State
a la Lusitania, Viera Attempts Detachment from Eastern Bloc.

Bissau, 28 June--The military secret service functions best of all. Nothing
remains hidden from it, and it is even better than the political secret

police. This statement comes from a Western dipiomat in Bissau. In what was
formerly Portuguese Guinea, the GDR has also taken over state security; its
almost 50 years of uninterrupted experience goes back to the Gestapo. In
Ethiopia and Mozambique, also, the GDR state security people have been success-
ful. In Angola, they still have some catching up to do. In another African
country, Somalia, they were so successful that the secret political police
still functions exceedingly well, although President Siad Barre changed from
Eastern to Western orientation 5 years ago, and expelled the GDR advisers.

It appears as if Guinea-Bissau will also remain a police state, albeit
Lusitanian moderate, even if the country has gained its fourth independence.
The small country of 36,000 km2~-approximately the area of North Rhine~
Westphalia--has already undergone three kinds of independence. Its citizens
are still not free. The fourth independence, also, will not yet mean democracy.

It all started on 24 September, 1973, when the news was spread that a people's
congress had assembled in the liberated town of Madina do Boe, and had de~
clared the independence of the overseas Portuguese province. Self-styled
progressive forces everywhere, including the Western world, cheered this
alleged victory of guerrilla fighters of the "African Party for the Independence
of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands" (PAIGC) over the Portuguese
colonial troops. This legend, put into circulation at the time of Communist
supporters of PAIGC, is being nurtured and believed even today by otherwise
enlightened German development aid volunteers in the country. Actually, there
never was such a town. The hamlet of this name, consisting of one administra-
tive building of stone and concrete and some twenty round adobe huts, had al-
ready been abandoned, destroyed and mined in 1971. If a PAIGC "people's con-
gress" ever took place, then-it- definitely was not there. The entire Madina
district is so infertile, uninviting and lonely that an attempt by the new
government to establish a regional school for the children of semi-nomads was



UGANDA

PRESENCE OF FOREIGN NEWSMEN IN COUNTRY SCORED
Kampala UGANDA TIMES in English 29 May 82 p 4
[Editorial: "Why Do These Foreign Newsmen Come Here?"]

[Text] FOREIGN journalists who want to come to Uganda should not think they
are worth more and therefore they should have the right to trample on our
laws and sovereignity. The government has not refused to allow foreigners,
even those who have made their occupation a habit to come to Uganda to smear
her name abroad, to come and carry out their devilish work here.

President A. Milton Obote has always said that they are free to write what
even if it is not the truth. It is no secret that they have often come here,
interviewing government leaders but when they returned to their countries,
they preferred to write about bandits whom they feed and glorify.

They should not and must not be mistaken to think that we shall allow them

to come here and trample on our laws, as did some two western journalists
recently. If the two so called newsmen were people of some sense, they should
have known that no where in the world can a foreigner of whatever description
just walk in a military barracks and demand to interview its commander.

That act by the two journalists, whose credentials we have continued to doubt
each day that passes, was both an indication that some foreigh so called news—
ment who come to this country think they are so important and have the freedom
to act illegally.

Only recently the western media, after seeing that the World Bank was organis-
ing a donor's conference in Paris thought that the best way to make that con-
ference fail was to ask terrorists to issue fabricated stories that were in
turn flashed across headlines of foreign media to make the whole world believe
that Uganda was not a country worth helping. We are not just beggars but
rather partners in development. We want to be helped so that we can also
play a vital role in the development of mankind.

As for foreigners who come here with their shirt collars up, they should not
be mistaken that they are above the laws of this country. If they want to
write about the country, then they must go where the law allows them to. Every
country has laws and foreigners are the last people expected to go against
these.

sor of African Politics at
Rhodes University, Prof
Nancy Charton, has de-
scribed the Bill as the re-
action of a small, fright-
ening elite feeling

_ thréatened by a build-up
of opposition.

“A government which
is very vulnerable and
weak should be building
up legitimacy among the
people, but a measure
like this is only going to
alienate all the people
from the homeland sys-
tem.

“It is highly short-
sighted to rely on the
force of arms.” she said.

Prof John Dugard, of
the Centre of Applied
Legal Studies, said the
Ciskei Bill showed the

clear influence of the ,

Rabie Commission re-
port and the South Afri-
can Internal Security
Act which meant that
~ the laws were being
modelled on the “re--

pressive laws of thé’;

Republic”.
“Surely the South Af-

rican Government, -

which claims to be. in-
fluenced by Christian,
Wester values, could
set a better example to.

done.”: and

. Whether'the crit-

tion of 666 000-odd peo-
ple — a position he
could never have dreamt.
of when. he joined the

cso: 4700/15

South African Police
Force in 1957.

Charles Sebe has had
a career which can only
be described as extra-
ordinary, He served in

‘both ‘the uniformed and

security branches of the
South African Police
Force before becoming
a founder- member of
the Ciskei Central Intel-
ligence Services in 1977.
He has maintained a
close link with-his South
African counterparts
and the two still work in
close co-operation. His
tise through the ranks of
the police force in Ciskei
has been rapid and to-
day, after five years, he
holds the rank of major-
general. ~~
Charles Sebe has de-
voted his life to fighting

“communism in whatever

form he may see it. “I
know the communists
are after my blood, but I
cannot be killed by hea~
thens. God has spoken’
to me. He won't kill me
until communism is
eradicated from South
Africa.”

He said recently:
“Without fear of doubt
in my mind I believe
that we will overcome.”

His communist fight
includes vetting the
work of poets Jest a mes-
sage be hidden between
the lines.

Charles Sebe takes
pains to emphasise that
he is only a professional
security man and not a

politician. Often he will
refuse to comment on an

77

issue which has political
implications as, “I am a
security man”.

As a true professional
his telephone interviews
are short and abrupt and
often end with “roger”
as in two-way radio con-
versations.

THE AXE

Despite portraying the
intelligence officer
image, it is well known
that Charles Sebe wields
considerable’ power in
the Ciskei Government.
It, is rumoured that he
played a leading part in
the axing of former advi-
sor to the President,
Rowan Cronje, earlier
this year.

He also has a say in
the allocation of houses,
employment, school en-
trance and many other
basic issues in Ciskei
and deals with potential
industrialists and finan-
ciers.

Charles Sebe, wiry
and athletic and always
on the go, had to work
from home for a week
recently owing to poor

«health. Last week, how-

ever, he looked per-
fectly fit barring some
bad acne spots. “My
-doctor says I am the
“Healthiest tan in Cis-
kei,” he said.

Ciskei’s new Bill has
drawn no response from
the ordinary citizen.
Many are too intim-
idated to. talk openly.
Others believe the Bill
will have no significant
effect.



MINISTRY DIRECTS CROP AUTHORITIES TO REDUCE OPERATING COSTS

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 30 Jun 82 p 3

[Text]

cso:

THE Ministry of Agriculture
had directed crop authorities
to reduce operating costs, in-
cluding laying off their em-
ployees who are in excess of
actual demand.

The Minister for
Agriculture Professor John
Baptist Machunda told the
National Assembly yesterday
that the ministry had also
directed the leaders to;

© Reduce the amount tied
to transportation and the run-
ning of vehicles,

© Finding cheaper ways of

‘transporting crops,

@ Sticking to their
recurrent and development
budgets and to ensure that
they were carefully worked
out.

© Keeping clean accounting
records.

Professor Machunda said
the decision to reduce costs,
was in response to President

4700/1543

103

Nyerere’s call earlier this year
when he opened a tea
Processing factory at
Mwakaleli, Rungwe.

The minister said the crop
authorities had financial
problems and some of them
incurred losses every year due
to high production costs
which outstripped earnings.

The minister said the fall
in world market prices for
agricultural crops, com-
petition with synthetics and
administrative overheads con-
tributed to an increase in the
costs of production compared
to earnings.

Ndugu Machunda asked the
House to approve a total of
153.8 million/- for recurrent
expenditure and 574,586
million/- for development ex-
penditure:for the ministry and
its departments and
parastatals.

TANZANIA


Shortly before this, however, Phillip and Danie had been at the home of friends
in town, where they had seen the suspected terrorists in a news program on te-
levision. The unarmed Phillip had recognized one of the men and stopped to

ask where they were going.

The fact that the terrorists said they were heading for Commondale, but that
they were not at all on the right way, further confirmed Phillip's suspicions,
and he offered them a ride in the back of the pick-up truck.

Vanished

"My son wanted to bring the terrorists to our house in order to take them into
custody there," said Mr Scheepers. "When he got home, he told them that they
would have to wait a minute by the pick-up truck, while he asked me whether he
could take them to Commondale."

However, the terrorists has suspected trouble, and when Phillip and his father
returned, they had vanished.

The night watchman, who takes care of the farm store, saw what direction the
terrorists had disappeared in. With Mr Scheepers and Danie in the cab of the
pick-up truck and Phillip and the night watchman in the back, they went to
look in the same direction.

After they had driven three times back and forth along the road in vain, Phillip
told his father that the terrorists would probably just wait until they dis-
appeared before coming out of their hiding place. Phillip then suggested that
he and the night watchman jump off the pick-up truck while his father drove

on. As luck would have it, they jumped off barely 15 meters away from the
hiding place of the terrorists.

One of the terrorists had suddenly opened fire with his AK-47 and Phillip had
to fall flat. "The Nkosana has been shot," the night watchman anxiously cried
out and ran fast into the veld.

One of the terrorists had apparently heard him and lifted his head. Phillip
started shooting with his Ri rifle and hit the terrorist with three bullets
in the head.

His companion started firing back, but was hit.

The police arrived on the scene a few minutes later and found two AK-47 auto-
matic rifles, two hand grenades, four magazines full of ammunition, roughly

5 kilograms of plastic explosives and several ANC pamphlets in their posses-
sion.

Because such a comprehensive negotiation process must take place, the govern-
ment has said that people should be careful and not confuse everything by ta-
King a premature stand.

When all the negotiations have taken place, then the House of Assembly and the
Provincial Councils can give final consideration to the proposals relative to
matters which affect them. All final proposals will have to be discussed by
the House of Assembly and when this takes place the proposals will receive the
attention of all the parties in parliament.

Mr Botha commented that he does not believe there is a fairer position on the
matter.

Black Settlement Bill Introduced

Free Market Economy Studied
Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22
[Article: "Presidential Council to Study Free Market" ]

[Text] The Presidential Council will be asked to investigate the measures
which limit the functioning of a free market economic system in South Africa,
Prime Minister P.W. Botha announced yesterday.

The study will take into account the plural composition of South Africa's po-
pulation, Mr Botha said during the third reading debate on the budget.

Factors which will be taken into account are:

- Proceedings through which it will be possible to make the advantages of the
system known more widely to the benefit of the less sophisticated consumers;

- Proceedings through which it will be possible to convey consumer informa-
tion primarily to the less informed and less sophisticated consumers;

- The furnishing of adequate services and an acceptable level of trade commo-
dities in the various communities; and

- Steps through which potential entrepreneurs can be identified, motivated
and equipped in order to make a greater contribution to economic development,
especially for groups who have a small share in the economy.

He just felt that he could not associate himself with the manner in which Mr
John Vorster had handled the information scandal, especially after Mr Botha had
heard the story the previous days from lawyer Rit van Rooyen and, on top of
that, had to find out that Dr Connie Mulders would probably be subpoenaed to
testify before Judge Anton Mostert, who set up an investigation into alleged
currency violations.

Mr Botha was persuaded not to resign. Mr Ries possesses the only copy of that
letter.

Another interesting fact which is only coming to light now is that, in a letter
addressed to Mr Louis Nel, member of parliament for Pretoria-Central, Dr
Treurnicht offered to apologize for the Bols joke which he told in a restaurant
in Bloubergstrand in 1979.

Mr Nel was so upset by the joke that he objected in a letter addressed to Dr
Treurnicht -- and distributed copies of the letter among members of parliament.
As a result of this, he landed in so much trouble that he was ultimately sus-
pended as member of the National Party. It took several months before he was
reinstated.

On the day he received Mr Nel's letter, Dr Treurnicht also wrote a letter to
Mr Nel. It reads:

"Dear Louts,"

"I received your letter. You are the very first person to have seen an inde-
cent reference to male sex organs in the joke in question -- and I have told
that old joke many times. I have never thought about it in those terms and I
don't pretend to be any more innocent than any other person. This is simply
not an association for me. My wife knows the joke and she has never yet wamed
me that it is indecent, for the simple reason that we do not quite make that
connection."

“As for my reaction to the speech by Minister Fanie Botha, I have expressed
my full appreciation of it and also explicitly denied a few negative referen- :
ces. Precisely because I was and am aware of the fact that some sensitivity
may exist on the matter, it was consciously not my intention to strike a dis-
cordant note."

"T don't think that it is necessary to respond to the remainder of your letter.
Colleagues have congratulated me of their own accord for my words, and the
first person to whom I mentioned your reaction was dumbfounded."

"Nevertheless, I am willing to offer an apology and, as a matter of fact, I
will start by offering it to Minister Fanie Botha."

"Greetings,"

“Andries Treurnicht."

government, in the economy and in society and made firm, hopeful foundations on
which to grow.

The second thing that has to be noted is the importance of good government in
countries which are flourishing. As we know, the political parties in flourish-
ing countries should be as a line in front advancing development plans and shar-
ing these plans with the citizens. This is just what is being done by the rul~
ing KANU Party now. Our country is among the flourishing nations in the world.
The things needed by flourishing countries are development movements for the use
of every citizen instead of political arguments.

We believe that if there were many political parties in this country the aims of
carrying out development plans will be made light of because politicians will use
much of their time in political arguments. Without a doubt, this kind of thing
was seen when this country had more than one party.

Again, it needs to be understood that, at that time (before independence), this
country had reason to have several political parties. I mean we were fighting
for independence. Now we are independent and we want to fight for development
more in this country and also strengthen the faith and unity of the whole nation.

Those who think that a government with only one party cannot be democratic are
very mistaken. The Boer Government in South Africa has several parties, but who
in the world does not know of the disgraceful segregation of color in that
country.

This example is sufficient to shut out any idea of wanting other parties in this
country.

Every citizen knows that the Government of Kenya has a more democratic leader-
ship than many governments in the world having many parties. In Kenya, we have
a better way of getting the desires of the people to the government than using
the service of opposition parties.

This plan begins in the councils of the villages and the districts where the
councilors, who are chosen by the citizens themselves, meet and discuss all the
important matters concerned with the development of the citizens. These coun-
cils make decisions and judge important matters without the intervention of the
central government. Beyond that, we have a better system of judges to settle
the disputes of the citizens.

Also, we cannot forget the tools of the newspapers which make the demands of the
citizens heard by the government very deliberately. There are many workers
parties with various clubs which are agents of the citizens’ demands. With all
of this, what need is there for many parties to carry out the development?

IN future the authority of the police should not only be known of but should
be. clearly felt at all points.

NO one whatsoever should be given leeway to act above what we all accept as
the legitimate law.

THAT was what caused a good deal of the trouble in affected areas:

INFLUENTIAL persons simply took upon themselves the role of Kingmaker, mus-
cled in to voting stations and terrorised everyone in sight in an attempt
to ensure that their candidates made it

SUCH situations got to the point they did in the first place only because
the police security was not adequate enough and because some security personnel
lamely accepted that these were "big" men.

THE Bye-Elections in those constituencies were certainly better conducted,
which indicates that we are prepared to swallow ourbitter pill and learn from
experience.

UNQUESTIONABLY, campaigners throughout the entire Elections period freely
vented out their feelings--to the point that the most private and unspeakable
events of many a candidate personal life came up for public knowledge while
songs that could not be considered as palatables at dinning tables of a good
number of contestants continually rent the air.

WHAT is important to note is that the most democratic system anywhere could
become the most oppressive depending on how it is run just as seemingly
bigotic systems can be seen to work in a peoples interest depending on who
and who wields power.

The MEAN between extremes lies primarily in the adequacy of checks and bal-
ances in the particular arrangements (Electoral or otherwise) in focus.

SIERRA Leone will do well by sapping the best from such truisms.

Question: The situation in the Western Sahara still continues to be a hard
nut to crack.

With the OAU summit in Libya round the corner, do you think a peaceful settle-
ment is foreseeable in the short run?

Answer: Perhaps not in the short run in the Western Sahara itself.

We hope at the summit in Libya, the seeming split within the OAU would have
been settled.

But more importantly we hope the OAU will face the problem four squares.
It is not an easy problem, Alhaji Kabba.

It requires the goodwill of all the parties concerned in consonance with the
people's right to self determination.

Question: There is an opinion in political circles not only in Sierra Leone
but throughout the continent, that this country is putting you up as a candi-
date for the post of OAU Secretary General.

Could you confirm this?

Answer: In consultation with President Stevens’ colleagues--African Heads
of State and governments, it is contemplated to proffer my candidature for
the post of Secretary General of the OAU.

I am prepared to serve in whatever capacity the government and the people
deem necessary, whether at the domestic or intenrational levels.

For I believe education afterall is for service and service is its only reward.

Question: What as a Ministry do you see as the objective of this country's
foreign policy in a nutshell?

Answer: Principally our objective as a country in terms of foreign relations
is to make friends and to broaden areas of contact to strengthen bilateral
and multilateral areas of understanding.

In this process to garner the fruits of international understanding and co-

operation either bilaterally or multilaterally to help our development process
as a country.

that we want actions, not just empty words.

This will continue to be the foundation of our program for development. Also,
useful steps will be taken to make sure that the government workers, especially
in the farm areas, remember the efforts of development and that they do their
work with cooperation and good systems. Here it is necessary for them to change
their ideas. The government workers in these areas must understand that they
are servants of the people and not their overlords. Moreover, the government
workers must not use the time and money of the masses traveling around the dis-
tricts and regions like tourists. The government workers must work shoulder to
shoulder with the citizens in all their efforts at development. And the citi-
zens themselves must not put up with officials who are currupt or are not carry-
ing out their duties as they should. People like these must be revealed, and no
person must fear that he will be persecuted if he gives information about offi-
cials like those. He will be protected completely, while it is clear that the
corrupt one will be punished as should be done. We as a nation must recognize
the importance of discipline in all places and in all our affairs. Under the
influence of Nyayo, discipline is the foundation of everything.

Kenyans, my friends, I want to conclude my speech today by saying a little about
the state of the economy as it confronts us in total. And to do this I want to
remind you that I believe in telling the truth, and I try to see that the citi-
zens are not kept from any of the truth. Expressly, it is my firm intention to
make sure that the matters that confront us are discussed with the citizens
themselves, since they are represented in the parliament.

The first thing I want to say is that we as a nation absolutely must not make
light of the problems of the economy that are in front of us. The situation
continues to be difficult, very much because of the economic problems of the
world, and the continuing rise in the price of goods we must buy from other
countries. Because of that, we have problems with many things, this along with
giving sufficient opportunities for work, and getting foreign funds to help our
development plans. Even so, we absolutely must take useful steps to confront
these problems. As I said before, the important thing we must do is understand
exactly the situation of our problems; then we solve these problems and, if we
remember we have been united through volunteerism, we will win. As one example,
I remind you that 2 years ago we were confronted with a great problem of a
shortage of food. I called on the citizens of Kenya to make more efforts to
increase the food supply while I made useful efforts to add to whatever food we
had by ordering food from other countries. Today I am happy to say that we have
no problem of food. The people of Kenya answered my call in the true spirit of
volunteerism.

Those things we have done in this important area must be made clear to any per-
son who doubts that our economy is flourishing and that the citizens have been
busy preparing for their future, that he is twisted. And I say this because,
unfortunately, there are a few twisted people in the country who remember back-
ward ideas and use their time looking for mistakes instead of making meaningful
proposals. If you see anyone with ideas like that and who has to cast blame for



Background of NP Split
Johannesburg RAPPORT in Afrikaans 30 May 82 p 11
[article by Louis Oosthuysen: "A Look Behind the NP Fights" |

[Text] Numerous interesting facts and stories which occurred
behind the scenes in the internal fights of the National Party
since the first speculations started that Mr John Vorster
would resign as prime minister, appear in a book "Quarrel
Among Brothers,"* which is being published this week by

Tafel berg.

The book was written by two assistant editors of DIE BURGER. They are Mr Alf
Ries, who has been a member of the political team of National Newspapers since
1959, and who for several years already has been the senior reporter for Na-
tional Newspapers, and Mr Ebbe Dommisse, who has also been a long time member
of the political team.

The book attempts to tell in chronological order about the tensions and clashes
which have occurred recently within the NP, most of which has erupted to the
outside, but many details of what happened behind the scenes have never been
told.

The book is especially valuable, not because it is complete in all respects --
as a matter of fact, numerous documents and the experience of many people were
not available to the writers --, but because it provides better insight and
better understanding of where it all began, and how the whole undermining pro-
cess by the group which broke away earlier this year progressed, a process
which had actually been going on without interruption.

An objective and factual picture of Dr A.P. Treurnicht's positions since the

days when he was still editor of DIE KERKBODE, will be an eye opener for many
people. If they read the book, they will certainly better realize why news-

papers and politicians never really left Dr Treurnicht in peace about his ac-
tions and his statements.

As a matter of fact, it was easier for them to see his comings and goings in
perspective, something which was not always possible for the proverbial man in
the street. -

In addition, especially Mr Ries, as political correspondent for so many years,
was often personally present at what happened, for example, on the evening be-
fore the election of the top leader in September 1978, when Mr Pik Botha, in
his hotel room in Capetown, dictated a letter of resignation from the cabinet,
which he planned to hand to Mr John Vorster the next day.

* Quarrel Among Brothers, by Alf Ries and Ebbe Dommisse, published by Tafelberg
Publishers, Capetown. The price is 11.50 rand. The book is already avail-
able in bookstores.

CONFUSION OVER WHO IS NOW IN CONTROL OF INGWAVUMA

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 2 Jul 82 p 3

[Article by Tim Clarke]

[Text]

DURBAN. — Confu-
sion reigned in the
Ingwavuma area of
Zululand yesterday
as both the KwaZulu
Government and the

Department of Co-op-*

eration and Develop-
ment tried:to sort out
who in fact was now
in control of the area.

Mr E F Oltman, sec-
retary to the head of
the KwaZulu nation,
Chief Gatsha Buthelezi,

said yesterday in a tele-°

phone interview there

fusion” and at this
stage he could not say.
definitely which gov-
ernment adininistered

The confusion is a se-_

quel to the judgment
handed down by a full

bench of the Natal Su- :

preme Court in Pieter-
maritzburg on Wednes-

day night that a second -

ation by the

proclam:
State President, placing .

disputed area of
Ingwavuma under the
control of the Depart-
ment of Co-operation
and Development was
now invalid.

Yesterday, after the a

court ruling, the Kwa-

Zulu. Government in- _

structed health, wel-.
fare, agriculture,
forestry and works de-
partments to resume
work in the disputed

territory.
However, they held

back onTM sending’ the
justice official, a magis-
trate, to the town of
Ingwavuma itself, while
the confusion pre-
vailed. ~

According to the at-
torney for the KwaZulu
Government, the appeal
lodged on Wednesday
night by, the State
against upreme
Court decision, has sus-

pended the court's or.
‘According to. the

KwaZulu attorney, the
South African Govern-

ment is now back in

control in the area.
KwaZulu officials

who were interviewed

at Ulundi, the capital of

Zululand, said yester--

day the situation was
“ confusing.”

Mr Oldman said Kwa-
Zulu wanted to mini-
mise the effect the legal
wrangle was having on

the area.

The Department of
Co-operation and De-
velopment is believed to
have sent at least six
civil servants to Ingwa-

route. (In a forthcoming issue we will examine the
MNR in detail).

The cost of Malawi’s links with South Africa‘ set
off against Malawi’s dependence on its neighbours is
finely balanced. During the last two years Banda has
made an effort to persuade black southern Africa
that the South African connection is economic
pragmatism, not a political understanding. Below is a
brief summary of Banda’s strategy of personal
diplomacy in the region: —

Mozambique: (see above). Working relations between Banda
and Samora Machel are probably impossible and Malawi has no
leverage to exert over Mozambique. If commercially viable oil is
found in lake Malawi (there is oil but an estimate of volume and
production cost is not yet available), Malawi's two islands —
Chizumulu and Chipyela — off the eastern shore of lake Malawi,
would more easily be subject to territorial dispute with Maputo.
The islands’ few inhabitants are anyhow Portuguese speaking.
Tanzania: Banda met Julius Nyerere for the first time in many
years at the Commonwealth meeting in Melbourne last year. Oil
discoveries in the northern half of lake Malawi would certainly
spark off more serious dispute over Malawi’s claim to all of that
part of the lake.

Zambia: If Kenneth Kaunda’s relations with Banda are still cool,
they do have some mutual interests. a) Both are Chewa b)
Kaunda’s eldest son, Panji, visits Malawi fairly regularly. Panji,
who spends his time running the Kaunda family farm at Cham-
balakali in northern Zambia and his own haulage company, is
believed by some to own a farm in Malawi through a nominee, and
c) inter-dependency on maize is likely to be more important in the
future. Until now Malawi has had the surplus. But if Zambian
agricultural policy continues in the right direction (AC Vol 23 No
10), the tables may sometimes be turned.

Zimbabwe: During the Zimbabwean war, Banda backed Abel
Muzorewa, and made no secret of his dislike of Robert Mugabe.
Last year however Banda surprised many by going to the SADC
meeting in Harare, where he met with Mugabe

Footnotes

1. Inconsistent rainfall after the last planting season will probably
mean a total maize crop of about 1.6m tonnes, slightly lower than
last year, despite the greater acreage planted. The completion of a
South African-financed and constructed 180,000 tonne silo near
Lilongwe will in future enable the storage of one season's
marketed maize crop. The only recent food shortage to have
caused widespread comment was cooking oil, most of which had
been exported,

2. There are now an estimated 60 young pioneers in cach of the 24
MPC administrative regions.

3. The-four opposition movements are:—
The Malawi Freedom Movement (Mafremo), formerly led by
Orton Chirwa, now of uncertain leadership. Based in Tanzania,
‘The Socialist League of Malawi (Lesoma), led by Dr. Attati
Mpliakati, based in Maputo. Last year it is believed that Lesoma
cadres infiltrated the northern district of the central region.
Various armed skirmishes took place.

The Congress for the Second Republic, led by former minister of
education, Kanyama Chiume. Based in Tanzania.

The Peoples Democratic Party. Established by the late Henry
Chipembere, it is now thought to be practically non-existant.

_4. The only’ African state to have relations with South Africa,
Malawi has received South African finance for a number of large
projects, including the construction of the new capital of
Lilongwe. South Africans working in Malawi are allowed con-
siderable freedom, although the government was recently em-
barrassed we understand by an attempt by the South African
managers of a sugar project in the north to impose local apartheid.
It is believed that Malawi has a form of defence agreement with
South Africa, which may be complemented by Israel, with which
Malawi also has diplomatic relations. In a crisis of any kind South
Africa can be expected to promptly assist, as witnessed in 1979
when South African Hercules C-130 aircraft flew in diesel in 50

CABINET RESHUFFLE INDICATES BOTHA'S INTEREST

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 8 Jul 82 p 6

(Editorial:

[Text]

"The Cabinet"]

YOU NEED not have any doubt anymore.
Mr PW Botha is going ahead with re-
form. His Cabinet changes confirm this.

Mr Chris Heunis, the man who is generally
regarded as the architect of reform, has
been given the key post of Minister of
Constitutional Development.

He will now co-ordinate all matters relat-
ing to constitutional development, the
Prime Minister says.

The burden placed on Mr Heunis is a very
heavy one, because what he does will not
only determine the country’s constitu-
tional future but also the fate of his par-
ty and of the volk.

We can only hope that he acts wisely —and
with care.

We are pleased that the leader of the
Transvaal National Party, Mr FW de
Klerk, has been promoted to the impor-.
tant portfolio of Internal Affairs.

Mr De Klerk is an able administrator, and
in his new office he will be directly re-
sponsible for the dynamic development
of the public service, which at present is
suffering a serious staff shortage.

Mr De Klerk at the same time will have to
rebuild his party’s fortunes in the Trans-
vaal, where the Treurnichtite breakaway
has done the most damage and where
there is a Right-wing challenge both
from the Conservative and Herstigte Na-
sionale Parties.

Mr Hennie Smit, who has been known
more for his statement about the Blacks
having slow thought processes than for,
any particular achievement as Minister!
of Posts and Telecommunications, has;
been dropped from the Cabinet — and|

‘Dr LAPA Munnik, who as Minister of
Health also made some unfortunate

SOUTH AFRICA



Guildelines

"Hence, it is not surprising that conjecture has arisen that the government is
trying to find new work for the Presidential Council in a new allocation. It
almost appears that the minister of internal affairs could present a more com-
plete package in one afternoon than the Presidential Council could manage in
a year and a half."

The final government proposals should be judged within the following guideli-
nes:

- Do they increase or decrease the polarization between whites and blacks?

- Do they actually contribute to the elimination of discrimination? and

- Do they promote full citizenship for all South Africans -- whites, coloreds
and blacks?

"The guidelines convince us that an effective, peaceful constitutional develop-
ment can take place only if negotiations and discussions occur among all sec-
tions of the population. Therefore we believe that it is dangerous and short-
sighted to exclude blacks from the constitutional stipulations and to ensconce
the whites -- or any other predominant group -- in constitutional plans which
try to present the appearance of distribution of power."

The government will have to choose between an obstinate clinging to the status
quo or the introduction of a systematic reform.

"One thing is clear: it is impossible to appease the right wing and to reform
systematically. If the government tries to do this, it will not only destroy
itself but also the possibility of peaceful change."

Botha Attacks KP Members
Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22

[Article: "Prime Minister Attacks Hoon, Van Heerden -- KP of the Cape Has
Trampled on Trust" |

[Text] Prime Minister Botha said yesterday that the two Conservative Party [KP]
members from the Cape have trampled on their voters' trust and broken a solemn
promise toward the National Party under whose banner they came to parliament.

“The will have to live with their consciences."

Mr Botha made a scathing attack on the two dissident members, Messrs Jan Hoon
from Kuruman and Ferdi van Heerden from De Aar, and stated that, when they
were nominated as NP candidates, the two members had signed a solemn promise
to remain loyal to the NP and to submit to its discipline. This promise closes
with: "Therefore Gold help me to keep on the right track."

Those two will have to live with their consciences and go tell the voters what

they have done with that promise. These are people who made great personal
sacrifices, among which monetary ones, and worked hard in the two widespread

half, was for health reasons, not political reasons. On 7 April, he left Paris
for Peking, where he arrived on 9 April and spent 2 weeks. His reception there
was satisfactory. During 10 days of visiting, he observed that the Chinese are
really progressing toward socialism. Monja Jaona paid formal visits to Chinese
leaders: to the vice president of the Chinese Communist Party, to the head of
the department of foreign relations of the Chinese Communist Party, and to the
deputy minister of health. Bilateral relations were discussed during these
visits.

Chinese Mentality

Asked what he liked best about the Chinese mentality, Monja Jaona made the fol-
lowing remarks:

"The Chinese are real socialists. There are a billion of them, and not one
wears tattered clothes; there are no beggars haunting the streets, and everyone
has enough to eat. We calculate that the Chinese eat as much in 3 days as we
would need for a year! They know how to be solidary and disciplined. They are
hospitable and not bellicose. They bring their children up to love their coun-
try. All the Chinese are soldiers and patriotic peasants."

Elections, the North

Asked if presidential elections will be discussed at the next MONIMA congress,
Monja Jaona replied that MONIMA will soon hold a congress in Toliars. This
will be a "regular congress" and its dates will be made public later. All
journalists are invited to attend, so they will not become the victims of hear-
say. "I am a party man, and our position on the presidential elections will
emerge from this congress."

As for events in the north, the leader of MONIMA answered: "This matter was
the subject of a letter to the joint council of state. It was decided that the
letter would be a "state secret," but it was made public by JEUNE AFRIQUE. "In
this letter, I proposed a solution to this affair, but someone tried to stop
its implementation. However, there are no problems without solutions."

Regarding his "Paris press conference," Monja Jaona answered that this was
simply untrue: he did not hold a press conference in Paris; rather, journal-
ists followed him everywhere. "In Madagascar, we don't wash our dirty linen
in public," he said. "We do it at home."

One journalist mentioned a patriotic song sung at Monja Jaona's arrival which
speaks of a "piteous Madagascar." MONIMA's leader replied that this was an
old song, but in fact Madagascar is more and more to be pitied. MONIMA has
submitted four books containing complaints and solutions to the government.
The fourth even mentiones the way the dehalo are being strangled. Monja Jaona
stated that these are "organized thefts."

Summing up, the leader of MONIMA Ka Mibiombio, Supreme Councillor of the Revo-
lution and dean of the CSR said he received a satisfactory reception and sat-
isfactory care in the PRC and concluded the meeting by thanking "(his) journal-
ist friends."

Dr Treurnicht never carried out his offer to apologize. It was learned later
that some of his followers persuaded him not to do it.

The book also talks very interestingly about the tensions behind the scene
when Dr Treurnicht and Mr P.W. Botha clashed in 1980 about colored boys who
were to participate in the Cravenweek. The story goes, for example, that Mr
Koos van der Merwe, member of parliament for Jeppe, drew up a list of 42 names
of people who would follow Dr Treurnicht if a split were to occur.

Another revelation is the fact that during that period of tension, Dr Ferdi
Hartzenberg resigned from the cabinet. He evidently felt uneasy about the
manner in which Dr Treurnicht was treated by Mr Botha. He went to talk about
it with Mr Hendrik Schoeman.

He told Mr Schoeman that he had resigned from the cabinet, and asked Mr
Schoeman whether he would give his letter of resignation to Mr Botha. Mr
Schoeman advised him to think about it. Later on, Dr Hartzenberg returned to
Mr Schoeman and told him that he would definitely resign, to which Mr Schoeman
responded that he should give the letter, which was written on an ordinary
piece of paper, himself to Mr Botha, which he did.

All eyes were on the cabinet meeting of Tuesday, 11 March 1980, but when ca-
binet members left the meeting smiling, it was realized that a formula for
peace had been found.

Dr Hartzenberg's letter of resignation was torn into pieces. “Later on, he
was lightly reprimanded by the prime minister for having resigned in such a
"careless' manner -- evidently a reference to the paper on which he had writ-
tend his resignation and to the fact that he wanted an intermediary to give it
to the prime minister," the book notes.

The book discloses too many anecdotes to mention here. It is clear that the
writers took care to be thoroughly informed about their facts. Thus, for
example, a full account is given about who spoke at the caucus of 24 February
of this year, when Dr Treurnicht and his followers refused to give their sup-
port to a motion of confidence in the prime minister.

The same applies to what happened at the meeting of the directing committee
of the NP in Pretoria, on 27 February of this year.

Seen as a whole, the book can only be described as a sound piece of work which
provides the reader with a good comprehensive impression of the course of
events until the greatest split in the National Party for about 50 years.
Naturally, new perspectives about issues can gradually develop, but for a book

which was published so closely after the events, it is an excellent piece of
work which will definitely help future historians in their research.

uncharacteristic of Banda’to confound those who see
themselves:as presidential successors. “

It is conceivable that Banda has longer-term plans
for Chirwa, a possibility that clearly irks some of
Banda’s close but insecure ‘associates. Since op-
position leaders are usually threatened ‘with ‘being
shot on ‘sight, reincarnating -Chirwa’ could take
several years. But a‘ public rapprochement between
Chirwa and Banda should not be discounted.

Together with Ngwiri, conventional -analysis'-has
for several years placed John Tembo, governor of the
Malawi Reserve Bank since its establishment 11 years
ago, in the.forefront of the succession’ stakes: Widely
believed to be most: influential over the-security
services, he is .also:uncle to Cecilia Kadzimira,
Banda’s constant ‘companion and assistant. Earlier
this year Tom Clausen, president of the World Bank,
is believed ‘to have suggested during ‘his visit ‘to
Malawi that.Tembo should make ‘way for a younger
successor better trained in economics. (The gover-
norship term is 10 years. So far Tembo does: not
appear to have been officially. mandated to have
another term). Madinga, executive director of the
Malawi Development Corporation and former -ac-
countant-general, was mentioned as a_ possible
governor. Unfortunately he was killed shortly after
when his car collided with a police van.

Apart from the Tembo-Ngwiri-Kadzimira trio,
whose fortunes may have been diminished by the
Chirwa episode and his apparent rehabilitation, there
are four cabinet members of rising acclaim: a) Dick
Matenje, secretary-general of the MCP, who,
together with b) Louis Chimango, minister of local
government and former dean of the university school
of law and public administration, is regarded as the
best educated cabinet member c) Aaron Gadama,
minister for the central region — a popular figure, in
sharp contrast to his predecessor and d) Edward
Bwanali, minister for the southern region, an equally
popular figure, although regarded by some as too
pleasant to be of presidential making.

By all accounts Banda is remarkably fit for his 82
(2) years. From his state house overlooking Blantyre
he continues, with few lapses, to oversee in detail all
important documents and propositions produced by
the civil service and institutions. No major decisions
are made by anybody else. In an immediate post-
Banda period it is thus questionable whether the all-
pervasive power vacuum could be filled smoothly. It
would certainly require much power distribution — a
process that could clearly be fraught with personal
rivalry within the MCP machine, and between the
MCP and parliament, which at present is a complete
rubber-stamp body.

The overriding popular expectation of a
thoroughly new regime would probably force
Banda’s successor to at least initially try to make
parliament far more representative of what would

regional projects with a total of $150 million, of which 23,780,000,000 Fr
CFA will go to Senegal.

The overall total of Saudi aid to finance development projects in Senegal
will be 50,017,000,000 Fr CFA.

This extensive aid was presaged by the warm welcome by the Saudi government
and people to the president of the Senegal Republic during his official
visit from 7 to 9 March 1982.

Senegal and Saudi Arabia follow a policy of cooperation which is reflected
in their identity of views on major current problems, and in this they are a
pioneer model in African-Arab cooperation.

The Saudi Development Fund, which handles development aid granted by Saudi
Arabia, offers particularly favorable conditions for loans: low interest
rates (usually 3 percent), 20 years’ average repayment period with a 5-year
grace period, and many features which make them particularly suitable to
the needs of developing countries.

In addition to the Diama and Manantali dams, regional projects, and the
Anambe basin hydro-agricultural development project in which the Saudi
Development Fund has been involved for several years, Saudi Arabia is going
to finance a variety of projects in Senegal.

These include: an urgent water project, the Ourossogui-Bakel road, the
Kedougou-Saraya road, the Dialokoto-Kedougou road, the canal and shore road
in Dakar, the project of the Company for Development and Exploitation of the
Delta Land and the Senegal Valley (SAED), the project of the Company for
Development of Fiber Textiles (SODEFITEX), and the Sacre Coeur II program for
housing construction.

The fact that almost all the projects proposed for Saudi financing during the
president's visit to Saudi Arabia were accepted promptly however, without
sacrifice of financial thoroughness--is also worth noting as an obvious

sign of the vitality of Arab-African cooperation.

To this, Dr Slabbert said that he would discuss the matter with Captain
Buthelezi at a national convention and open negotiations on it.

‘Mr Botha noted that this would be playing with fire. This is why the voters
of South Africa do not trust the PFP with the most important conerstone of the
country: white self-determination.

Useless

Referring to the Presidential Council, Mr Botha said that Dr Slabbert claims
that if the government does not accept all the council's proposals, the Coun-
cill would be useless. The government has never said that it is obliged to
accept everything proposed by the Presidential Council. Just as the Presiden-
tial Council is not obliged to accept everything that the government says.

Dr Slabbert himself acknowledged that he would not accept things at his nation-
al convention which are contrary to the PFP principles.

Yr Botha called on Dr Slabbert to call the "rowdy" backbenchers in his party,
who claim that the NP is a more serious threat to South Africa than communism,
to order. He also referred to the foolishness of some local Progressive Party
newspapers which claim that communism is not a real threat to South Africa.

Even this week, a high security official from Mozambique requested asylum in
South Africa and said that the Russians are taking over in Mozambique. How
can the opposition and Dr Andries Treurnicht in his rush to score a small po-
litical point against the government, claim that the attack is being exaggera-
ted?

In any case, Dr Treurnicht was constantly drawing during cabinet meetings, Mr
Botha said.

Mr Koot van Stade (NP, Appointed): He must have been drawing turtles.
Opposition Leader Warns Government

Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22

[Article: "Slabbert Warns Government About Plan for South Africa" |

[Text] Dr F. van Zyl Slabbert, leader of the opposition, said yesterday that
in spelling out its guidelines for constitutional reform, the government re-
lied more on the 1977 proposals than on the Presidential Council proposals,
and that a few half-baked changes of constitutional law will not restrain the
right wing, but rather make it grow.

During the third reading debate on the budget bill, Dr Slabbert noted that it
is clear that the government rejects the guidelines for a consociational de-
mocracy as proposed by the Presidential Council. The question may now be
raised as to whether the Presidential Council has had any relevance up to now
in the process of constitutional development.

led to a slightly higher

This was, however,
not enough to prevent

tions sliding from R240-

After other sundry
items, the profit before

An MMM victory in this week's elections will make the party's Indian presi-
dent Aneerood Jugnauth the new Prime Minister. But Jugnauth is primarily

a front man to secure the Indian vote the accounts for almost 70 percent of
the mauritian electorate. The real muscle behind the MMM is its founder.
Berenger, who undoubtedly will call the shots in the new government. A white
Mauritian of French descent, Berenger learned his fiery brand of socialist
politics in Paris. He was active in the student riots of 1968 and spent most
of 1972 in a Mauritius jail for leading a strike of the island's port workers.

Berenger, 36, possesses more than a bit of that ingredient critical for polit-
ical success in the twentieth centruy: charisma. A slight man given to wear-
ing safari suits, Berenger sports a Walesa-style mustache and exudes a Kenne-
dy brand of confidence. His strong political presence has had an impact on
Mauritian politics for the past six years. In the last election in 1976,

the MMM captured 40 percent of the popular vote and won 34 of the Legisla-
tive Assembly's 70 seats. The Labor Party barely held on to power by forming
a coalition government with a political party backed by the wealthy, white
sugar planters. But its leadership has hinted that it may not join the Labor
Party in this go-round. And that almost certainly would mean that the Labor
Party and its leader, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam the ailing 82-year-old Prime
Minister who has run Mauritius for fourteen years--will lose.

As election day nears, Berenger has begun to moderate some of his more rigid
positions--particularly his call to end close ties with South Africa. Mauri-
tius is heavily dependent on South Africa for income from tourism and consumer
trade. "There is no intention to nationalize South African interests at this
stage", says Berenger. "We will, however, prevail on importers and tourists
operators here to gradually replace South African trade and tourists with
trade and tourists from other countries". Berenger continues to pledge that
he will cancel Air Mauritius flights to South Africa. But he has backed away
from pledges to cancel South Africa's landing rights on Mauritius--at least
"for the time being".

Ripple Effect: That posture has a wait and see tone--but so do most question
about the future of Mauritius. Western leaders are worried by reports that
the MMM campaign has received a financial boost from Libya's Col. Muammar
Kadhafi. (Berenger emphatically denies that he has received any Libyan aid).
And despite Berenger's vow to persue a nonaligned policy, Washington believes
its base on Diego Garcia may propel Mauritius into the Soviet camp. Moreover,
the tiny atoll could become a test case for other liberation efforts in the
Indian Oean. Mauritius also lays claim to the French island of Tromelin,

the Comoros Republic claims the French island of Mayotte and Madagascar has
staked a claim to four other French islands. Western interests are closely
bound up in the fate of those islands situated in the Mozambique Channel--
the oil route from the Mideastern gulf states to Europe. A minor disturbance
over Diego Garcia could produce a ripple effect around the globe.

chief of the Portuguese Communist Party aligned with Moscow. Those aid
volunteers are still there, but Vasco Cabral has lost his position, and prob-
ably also his influence. This happened suddenly a month ago. Vieira, by now
chief of state, head of the party and of the government, had it announced over
the radio that he had reshuffled the government, He had neither asked, nor
even informed, the "Revolutionary Council," supposedly the highest government
organ, the Central Committee, or the party Politbureau. He obviously had a
very good reason, since all three bodies, besides the "nationalists," still
contain powerful communist groups with excellent ties to the Soviet "advisers."
Even the secret police knew nothing of Vieira's plan. His gamble worked. The
communists were taken by surprise; the ministers who were dismissed, reas~
signed or newly appointed only learned about the decision on the radio; and the
army continued backing its "Nino."

The new cabinet list is being interpreted in Bissau as a further important
step towards the fourth independence of the country, independence from the
Soviet Union, Cabral lost his ministry but retains the decorative title of a
"secretary of the Central Committee" and is allowed to participate in cabinet
meetings. Other communists have disappeared from the scene. Vitor Freire
Monteiro, a technocrat and, until now, governor of the Central Bank, is the
new economics minister, Former Foreign Minister Vitor Saude Maria became
minister-president and sees to it that the new foreign minister, Samba Lamine
Mane, carries out a pragmatic, not dogmatic, foreign policy. The party stands
insignificantly in the background. Above it is the government headed by "Nino"
Vieira, who can rely fully on the army's support.

This army is still completely equipped with Soviet arms, remnants from the
fight for independence which had been supported especially by the Eastern bloc.
But it will not stay this way. As early as January, Vieira started to inquire
among other ambassadors about the "possibility of military cooperation": Portu-
gal, France, Brazil, Algeria and China. He did not wish to "expand the
exclusive cooperation with the Soviet Union and Cuba," he stated, "in order to
be more independent." France, to begin with, donated 50 passenger cars of .
simple design for the army, Brazil and the other countries have not yet made
a decision. Portugal has cautiously taken up military aid. Officers come from
Lisbon for a few days at a time, in order to assist in the establishment of
military administration, The direction in which Vieira is steering can be
seen from his order of early June: military badges and ranks patterned after
Cuban examples will be abolished; "because the people are more familiar with
them," the old Portuguese types will be reintroduced; instead of "comandante,"
a colonel is again a "coronel"; instead of Soviet stars, stripes will again
decorate epaulets.

SIERRA LEONE

POST-MORTEM REVEALS STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES OF ELECTIONS
Freetown DAILY MAIL in English 30 Jun 82 pp 1, 7
{Editorial: "Elections Post-Mortem"]

[Text] WHEN all is said and done with the Elections and Bye-Elections now
over (barring the Koinadugu North Constituency) there are points that should
be seriously advanced for the positive working of the current system of
elections.

DESPITE fears loudly expressed in some quarters and quietly whispered in some
others as to whether the elections would produce something under the procedures
used, the results help to speak out an answer.

ABOUT a quarter of members of the last Parliament lost their Seats which,
as far as journalists and observers are concerned, is big news.

THE fact that any incumbent can be unseated (and even lose his deposit as
happened in some cases) indicates how much is possible under the system
employed.

CONSIDERING the examples of some other countries where every incumbent is
seen to get back with eye-brow raising cosiness, the Sierra Leone Elections
"82 need to be analytically studied for its more positive features.

THE atmosphere in which the campaigning went on is another aspect for
reflection.

THE elections fever passed the boiling point on many occasions and spilled
out, burning up numbers in its way.

THE serious irregularities that resulted would have been more of a scorchingly
sore point if the Electoral Commission had not stepped in to cancel everything
in those constituencies involved.

HERE again, the experiment was going through the inevitable stages:—-tempers
were raised, noses flared, fists waded in and......

AS we have consistently stressed in this column, much of the irregularities

would definitely have been avoided if security arrangements had been up to
expected levels.

abandoned as quickly as the plan to make Madina do Boe the capital of the
country. The second, the real independence from Portugal, came only in 1974
as a result of the Lisbon revolution,

But Guinea-Bissau was not yet really independent. The state was a creation of
PAIGC, a Marxist-Leninist "binational" party founded and directed by Cape
Verdians: it was the monolithic state party of the new republics of Guines-
Bissau and Cape Verde. Bissau was ruled from Praia, the capital of Cape Verde.
The president of Bissau was the Cape Verdian Luis Cabral; the party chief was
the president of Cape Verde, Aristides Pereira. In the fall of 1980, Guinea-
Bissau was to get a new constitution, under which unification of the two re-
publics into one country was to take place, as planned under the Statute of
PAIGC. This constitution provided that government power in Bissau would no
longer be vested in a minister-president, but a president. Black Guineans
would haye lost the last chance for codetermination. Guinea-Bissau, for
centuries a Porguguese colony, was in danger of becoming a possession of Cape
Verde. Cape Verdians, like Luis Cabral, are mulattos, descendants of African
slaves and Portuguese who centuries ago had ended up on these islands, a 1,000
km in the Atlantic. Even today, Cape Verdians feel that their ties are less
with Africa than with Europe and America: more than 400,000 of them live there,
and only 200,000 on the islands themselves. The 850,000 blacks in Guinea-Bissau
felt themselves patronized, ignored and exploited by the mulattos. The new
constitutional plan finally led to an uprising on the mainland, Minister-
President Joao Bernardo Vieira, a brigadier general who had become popular
under the alias "Nino" as a military leader of the guerrilla fight against
Portugal, struck.

The army, although infiltrated by 300-500 Soviets, and some 30 Cuban instruc-
tors and advisers, obeyed the popular "Nino." Soldiers surrounded the Hotel
"24th of September" in Bissau, where about 100 of these officers lived, and
arrested Luis Cabral and other Cape Verdians. On 10 November 1980 Guinea-
Bissau won its third independence, independence from the Cape Verde islands.
A year later, Cabral was sent to Cuba in exile. In Praia there was talk about
a coup d'etat. Pereira separated the Cape Verde section of the party from the
mainland section, which is still called PAIGC in Bissau, PAICV in Cape Verde.
The political boycott against Bissau was only revoked on Friday 2 weeks ago,
when both countries exchanged ambassadors. After the coup, Vieira let a whole
year pass before taking the next step. He had consolidated his power when, at
the end of 1981, the party congress met in Bissau to decide on a new central
committee and a new Politbureau. Since then it has been composed of half
military, half civilian members. It was a decisive factor that the Nr. 3 man
in the Politbureau slid down to Nr. 9: Vasco Cabral, namesake of the toppled
president, the powerful minister of Economic Coordination and Planning.

This man had worked diligently to make Guinea-Bissau into the same dismal and
poverty-stricken people's democracy as Mozambique and Angola, which had also
emerged from the same Portuguese colonial rule. The Ministry of Economic Plan-
ning was the key position. Among his helpers, strangely enough, were German
development aid volunteers from "Dienst in Uebersee" [Service Abroad].
Evidently they, and their home office, were not familiar with Vasco Cabral's
political background as one of the closest collaborators of Alvaro Cunhal,

UPN Expels Legislator

A MEMBER of the Oyo State
House of Assembly, Mr. R.
Adebayo Shittu has. heen ex-
pelled from the Unity warty of
Nigeria (UPN) by the Ifedapo
Constituency of the party.

This was contained in a releas-
e. issued and signed by 16 ex-
ecutive members of the Ifedapo
Constituency of the party in
Ibadan.

According to the release, the
expulsion of Mr. Shittu from the
party was recommended to the
local government and _ state
bodies of the party for further ac-
tions.

According to the party, the ex-
pulsion of Mr. Shittu was sequel
to several allegations he levelled
against top members of the par-

y.

Mr. Shittu was accused of
alleged high disrespect to the
party in the constituency and for
attending meetings not approved

yy it.

He was also accused of un-
co-operative activities with the
constituency, lack of consulta-
tions and disregard to pieces of

advice.

Mr. Shittu was alleged by the
party to be advocating some doc-
trine views and opinions contrary
to laid down ponicies of the UPN.

In another devefopment, Alhaji
Adebayo Shittu, has said in Ilorin
that he exposed the ‘‘corrupt.
leaders” of the UPN in the ex-
ecutive and legislative arras of
the state government to cid the
party of bad eggs.

Speaking on an NTA Ilorin pro-
gramme, ‘‘Central Figure’’.
Alhaji Shittu said that ‘it is high
time we erased the belief that
politics is an aveaue for enriching
one’s purse”’.

He said that it was the respon-
sibility of the youths to bring a
radical change into the Nigerian
body politics, adding that the con-
ventional system of old politi
cians had failed to bring the re-
quired change into the structural
set-up of the nation.

Alhaji Shittu then said that he
could not be removed from the
UPN because he had not breach-
ed any provision of the party’s
constitution.

RETURN OF MONJA JAONA FROM CHINA REPORTED
Tananarive MADAGASCAR-MATIN in French 21 May 82 pp 1, 4

[Text] A Monja Jaona radiant with health received journalists yesterday in the
VIP room at Ivato international airport upon his return from Paris and the
People's Republic of China.

Welcoming banners ("Manalans azo avy roa batsimo lia raike"] brightened the air-
port and "bekos" sang his praises. Activists and associates of the leader of
MONIMA [National Movement for the Independence of Madagascar] Ka Miviombio had
come to welcome him, and the police were barely able to restrain the crowd of
several hundred thousand enthusiasts. MONIMA K.M. activists sang songs of na-
tional struggle as their leader arrived.

A Congress

Monja Jaona, Supreme Revolutionary Councillor and dean of the CSR [Supreme Rev-
olutionary Council], agreed to talk with the press, which turned out in large
numbers, to say--among other things--that his trip was for reasons of health
rather than politics; that he received satisfactory care from Chinese special-
ists; and that MONIMA will hold a congress soon this year. He also confirmed
the "leak" of a letter classified as a "state secret" in which he commented on
the "critical situation in Madagascar, especially in the north."

A Trip For Health Reasons

Our colleague Latimer Rangers asked the first question among those of our
colleagues of the private and especially the foreign press, who were pressing
around Monja Jaona and asking him about his trip.

"T was ill," answered Monja Jaona, "and President Ratsiraka sent me to China
for treatment. All the Chinese doctors have contributed so well to the recov-
ery of my good health, with the aid of specialists, that I recovered very
quickly.

I want to thank the president, who took this initiative. The Chinese inter-
preted this as a sign of confidence."

Reading a report about his trip, he explained his itinerary. He spent a week
in Paris at the Embassy of Madagascar. His trip, which lasted a month and a

whatever problem is facing us, you know clearly that he is not a follower of
Nyayo. As the Bible says, you must be on your guard against the jackals who
come claiming that they are sheep. Fortunately, those corrupt people are few,
and we know who they are. We believe in remembering the law and protecting and
extending the rights of man. And as we continue to stay with our customs of
fortitude, truth and democracy, we must not allow these important customs to be
used by a few people to bring about a separation in our nation. Thus, we will
continue to be alert and prepared for whatever steps are needed to make our de-
velopment flourish and to strengthen our nation.

These are a few things, Kenyans, my friends, that I wanted to talk to you about.
And when you return to your home, and when you prepare to make more efforts for
the development of our nation, continue to stay under Nyayo's influence of hon-
esty, love and unity.

I will see many of you during the visits I am considering making in various
areas of the country just after finishing my duties as chairman of the Organiza-
tion of African Unity. And when I visit in your location or district, I will be
amazed to see the true efforts to bring development to the economy and society.
I repeat that the influence of Nyayo demands deeds, not empty words. Each one
of you should be led by these influences, in all your affairs.

conference at the
Union Buildings that of
the four new Deputy
Ministers, one, Mr
Barend du Plessis, was
being appointed Deputy
Minister of Informa-
tion to give impetus to

which would be filled
later this year.

Mr Heunis, in his new
Post, would have to
“feel his way” as consti-
tutional developments
accelerated and he
would work to co-ordi-
nate and streamline im-
plementation of devel-
opments.

“The appointment of
Mr Heunis does not
mean that more import-
ance will be attached to
the workings of the
State President’s Coun-
cil — that body is
already a vitally import-
ant one.

“But the Government
is anxious to co-ordi-

ing to constitutional de-

De Klerk’s ap-
pointment mirrored the
very serious way in
which the Government
viewed the Public Ser-

Mr De Klerk was a
dedicated and energetic
Minister who would be
directly responsible for
the dynamic develop-
ment of the Public Ser-

“His appointment re-
flects the very serious

said.

Two Deputy Minis-

changed. They are Dr G
de V Morrison (Deputy
Minister of Co-opera-

rapidly become a less tame electorate. But parliament
is now so atrophied that it would be difficult to use it
in the crucial year or so after Banda’s death to
assuage popular opinion. In March last year the
constitution was amended ‘to allow Banda to
nominate as many MPs as he wants. According to the
latest count, parliament now consists of 107 MPs of
which 12 are cabinet ministers and 38 presidentially
nominated MPs. Of the 32 women MPs, 24 are
nominated. There are 15 vacant seats. Since all
candidate MPs are subject to presidential vetting, the
proportion of nominated MPs (including cabinet
ministers) to theoretically independent MPs, is
immaterial.

On the positive side, the security services and
armed forces could be expected to stay largely aloof
from all but the most serious post-Banda infighting.
(The Special Branch is a possible exception because
of its inherently political mandate). The army
commander, Maj. Gen. Melvin Maluda Khanga (a
Chewa, he was trained in Britain) runs a highly
disciplined and efficient four- battalion force.
Designed largely as a mobile counter-insurgency unit,
it has such recent equipment as the Blow-pipe SAM.
The police commissioner, Mac Kamwana (Chewa)
too runs a fairly well disciplined body.

Also positive is the relative absence of tribal or
religious antagonisms. The only significant tension is
between Tumbuka people (usually Presbyterian)
from the north and the populous Chewa people
(usually Catholic) of the central region. The Tum-
buka unquestionably hold a_ disproportionate
number of senior civil service posts. Apart from
Banda’s broad policy of often distributing posts
equally between tribal groups, irrespective of
proportional representation, there are varied reasons
for this ‘‘Tumbuka factor’’. (One analysis suggests
that the Tumbuka tradition of aspiring husbands
having to accumulate wealth before marriage gives
Tumbuka males an important incentive to work
hard). Conversely, in some key areas, such as
security, Chewa appointments prevail. (Banda is
generally regarded as Chewa, although it is possible
that his parents were in fact Ngoni (a predatory tribe)
and migrated south into Chewa territory). And
Chichewa is now well established as the lingua
franca,

Harder to assess is the extent of popular
frustration with the regime. In the absence of
significant food shortages’, unrest is directed at the
overpowering mechanism of the MCP and the
calvinistic rigour of Banda’s strictly applied ideas,
including his conviction that classical education
(exemplified in the European-staffed and élitist
Kamuzu Academy), despite its alienism from African
cultural and educational tradition, is essential for the
country’s future. Certainly educated young

than half a million. As for the university, it must be remembered that in 1963
we did not have a university of our own, but we were a section of the University
of East Africa. Even so, the total number of students in the University of Nai-
robi at that time was 375 and now the number of students in this university,
along with those of Kenyatta College, is 8,800. Besides this, great development
has been made in adding to and expanding the trade schools throughout the coun-
try. Now we have colleges of agriculture distinct from that of Egerton, tech-
nical colleges in the villages, national technical colleges in the cities of
Nairobi and Mombasa, and study programs for vacation time which are set up by
the Ministry of Workers and the Government Workers Planning Department.

Concerning government services, the educational system uses a larger sum of
money in government budget estimates. When the work training programs and other
efforts put out are considered, it is evident that this nation uses the larger
portion of its revenue for education. One thing that is very clear in these ef-
forts is the great chorus of citizens themselves cooperating with the government
to enhance and expand the education system. The efforts of Harambee have been
very important in the expansion of education in the primary and secondary schools.
There were many openings in the secondary shcools and they are helped by people
in the area where these schools are. This willingness for great cooperation
between the citizens and the government is one of the important sources of suc—
cess in spreading the development to all. It is a willingness which was bragged
about in the past. Today I want to stress that it is a willingness that will
be needed even more in the years ahead.

The numbers that I gave you concerning our development in education are intended
to show the important efforts that we as a nation continue to make in preparing
the youth for their later responsibilities. But although we can rejoice and
even brag about the expansion of the education system, I am not sure that we
have thought more about the education that children get from their parents and
society as a whole. The kind of education I am talking about here is about our
customs, the efforts to deliver our country and to:work at our responsibilities
to society, the importance and dignity of manual labor, the importance of obedi-
ence to the nation and how it should be shown and implemented, the meaning and
importance of discipline, etc. As I said here at the beginning, I am grieved
at the way it is apparent that our youth do not respect our system of democracy,
fortitude and remembering of the rights of man here in Kenya. When I see this,
I hear myself saying that we are not doing enough to teach the youth the way it
has to be done to prepare them for their important responsibilities in the years
to come. And as I said last labor day, this is a responsibility which we all,
especially parents, must remember very thoughtfully.

I would like to add that in teaching the youth we must not hesitate to remember
the necessary discipline. In other words, there is a saying that "He who fears
his child's crying will cry himself." Although cruelty and poor use of disci-
pline are not needed and can be a danger, severe steps must be taken when it is
necessary. And I am not only talking about primary and secondary school here,
I am also talking about students in the university and other colleges. A few
days ago some of these students showed disrespect and barbarism. For all this,
these students are taken care of well by the nation, especially when compared
with the way Kenyan students in foreign countries are treated. I said before

for the growing of wheat, tobacco, groundnuts and other cash crops. The Min-

NATAL FARMER SHOOTS TERRORISTS SOUGHT FOR SABOTAGE
Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 pp 1,2
[Article: "Sabotage in Natal -- Young Farmer Shoots Two terrorists" |

[Text] Paulpietersburg -- Tuesday night, a young farmer from the district
shot and killed two terrorists during an exchange of gunfire, after having
given them a ride in his pick-up truck while they were hitch-hiking in the
district.

Mr Phillip Scheepers (23 years old) recognized one of the terrorists, who was
suspected of being a member of the gang of terrorists involved in the sabotage
which took place in the district earlier last week, from a photograph he had
seen on a television news report.

The story of the shooting was told yesterday to DIE BURGER by his father, Mr
Jannie Scheepers, from the Hartland farm in the Paulpietersburg district.

The terrorists, Bheki Sam Mchunu (26 years old) and a companion, who has not
been identified yet, had been on the run for more than a week.

Three other suspected terrorists, who were presumably involved in the attempted
sabotage, were rounded up earlier this week by the police and are currently
being held under the public safety act.

A fifth terrorist, Galokwe Thembinkosi Sithole (29 years old) from Nqutu near
Dundee in Natal, is still free. He is roughly 1.67 meters tall, well-built
and has a light complexion. He is probably armed and is considered extremely
dangerous. People who have seen him or who can provide any information as to
his whereabouts, are requested to get in touch immediately with the nearest:
police station.

On the Way

Mr Scheepers related that about half past ten on Monday evening he was on the
way from town to his farm. Phillip and a friend, Danie Swanepoel, followed
roughly 15 minutes later in a pick-up truck.

He saw the two black men along the road, where they were hitch-hiking, but he
had driven past them

that the number of students in the University of Nairobi is 8,800. But we also
must know that this number would be larger if we had the money and resources be-—
cause there are many Kenyans who have finished their schooling and try to attend
the university but by bad luck they cannot be accepted because of a lack of
openings. Many parents confronted with this problem have held back much so

that they can send their children to study in other countries. These parents
must pay much money, often being helped by collections made by friends and fam-
ily, while the youth concerned have to accept many troubles while they are liv-
ing in foreign countries. Thus, those youth who are lucky enough to get into
the University of Nairobi must recognize that they are very lucky and they must
not waste this opportunity.

Now if we think about this question, if we remember especially the number of
Kenyans who have completed secondary school and are able to apply to the uni-
versity but are not accepted because of lack of an opening and because of the
huge cost of sending the youth to study in a foreign country, we must look for
various ways to reduce this problem. And one way to do it is to begin programs
where those students who are lucky to be accepted at the University of Nairobi
will be asked to pay a little more for their education so that the university
can be expanded and have more openings for more Kenyans. A plan like this must
be prepared carefully so that those who truly cannot pay are helped. But -the
ability to pay must not be a requisite for entering the university.

Such things cause me grief, as I said before, when I see some students here in
Kenya with characters which show that they are not aware of their true situation
and the condition which confronts this nation as a whole. Thus, I repeat that
we must take sufficient steps to make sure that our youth are fully prepared for
their future responsibilities. And in. these preparations it is important for
the youth to understand these responsibilities I am talking about. Also I want
to emphasize. that we will not put up with a lack of discipline, vagrancy, and
cheating in our colleges of education and training. Moreover, I want to explain
openly that we will not allow a few people who think of themselves as revolu-
tionaries, who advance foreign influence, to stir up our education and training
programs. Why, what kind of revolution do they want? Can they not see the
true revolution that is going on in Kenya--that is, the great efforts to make
development flourish for all?

And to the youth of Kenya, I want to say a few more words. First, they must
stop thinking that they know everything. They must be concerned with those
things they understand before entering into those things they do not understand.
Second, they must learn that, without understanding well their country, its his-
tory, society, customs, aims and the economic problems that stand in its way and
its difficulties with development, they will have no foundation. Unfortunately,
books and movies from so-called developed countries are corrupting our youth.
The youth of Kenya must first understand that they are Kenyans, they must. brag
that they are Kenyans, that their later life is tied in with this country. They
must also understand that their parents gave themselves as a sacrifice to fight
for the independence of this country and that there is no nation which can be
built on nonsense, on the use of intoxicating drugs, on not having pity for and
thinking about the less fortunate among the masses, on not respecting parents,
and on following the garbage of foreign influences. The youth of Kenya must

The Minister said the Tanza-

did not meet the country’s
requirements of refined products,
noting that. this year, TIPER
production was expected to be
558,900 tonnes whereas the coun-
try's requirements of refined
products were estimated at
807,500 tonnes.

TIPER could, therefore, refine
only -69 per cent of the
requirements, and the deficit,
amounting to 248,600 tonnes will
have to be imported at an
estimated cost of 970.7 million/-,

Ndugu Kassum said the total oil
bill this year stands at 2,864.6
million/- compared to 2,052.8
million/- in 1981. This was an in-
crease of 39.5 per cent, and is ac-
counted for by the March 1982
devaluation of the Tanzanian
shilling and the increase in quan-
tities of oil imports.

Some 46,524 tonnes of
petroleum products worth 243.7
million/- were exported in neigh-
bouring countries last year
compared to only 12,043 tonnes
worth 53.4 million/- in 1980. This
year, some 103,660 tonnes worth
355.1 million/- are to be exported,
he said.

The Minister told the MPs that
the petrol rationing system was
now working smoothly, and stated
the Ministry now has a system of
fixed supply quotas to retail
outlets which is subject to regular
review and adjustment when
necessary.

Each region outside Dar es
Salaam was allocated a fixed
quota of petrol and petroleum
products. Due to transportation
problems, however, most regions
have not been receiving their
quotas, especially so with the
refusal by tanker owners to send
their vehicles up-country because
of bad roads. _

Ndugu Kassum requested the
House to approve the Ministry's
estimates totalling 536,023,100/-
out of which 461,727,000/- will be
for development expenditure
while 74,296,100/- will be for

Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22
[article: "Koornhof Attacks KP"

[text ] Dr Piet Koornhof, minister of cooperation and development, said yester-
day evening that the Conservative Party has the power to release dangerous
powers in the area of white/black relations in South Africa, and that it is
the responsibility of Dr Andries Treurnicht to stop this.

In a serious speech, which became stormy at times, Dr Koornhof stated that Dr
Treurnicht is certainly one of the greatest dividers ever produced by the
Afrikaner people.

Dr Koornhof noted that he negotiates daily with black leaders and that he
shudders to tell what the black leaders say about the KP.

The Cillie Committee, which investigated the 1976 disturbances, found that the
policy on the language of instruction and its manipulation was one of the pri-
mary causes of the disturbances. At that time, Dr Treurnicht was deputy minis-
ter for Bantu education and thus responsible for this matter.

Now that Dr Treurnicht and his people have broken away from the NP, they should
guard against releasing powers in the country which will cause South Africa
to perish in violence.

He had always been loyal to Dr Treurnicht as leader of Transvaal, but it now
appears that Dr Treurnicht was undoubtedly one of the greatest dividers of the
Afrikaner people since the Boer War. His dividing action started with
Cottesloe. This went on from his capital days, when he colluded with S.E.D.
Brown and Beaumont Schoeman, until now.

He sharply attacked the KP on the manner in which it involves churches in poli-
tics: "I want to warn you, don't, as with 'Die Patriot,’ deal lightly with
matters which are holy to the Afrikaners. You will wear the sign of the people
who have divided the population and have let it perish."

PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE ENDORSES SAP AFTER IN-DEPTH DELIBERATIONS

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 28 Jun 82 p 1

[Text]

TANZANIA

The Party Central Committee has said the Government three-year Struc-

tural Adjustment Programme (SAP) is an elaboration of earlier formulations
aimed at national economic rehabilitation.

The committee, which ended its three-day session under the chairmanship of
Mwalimu Nyerere, said SAP lays the basis for negotiations with donor countries
and international financial agencies interested in aiding rehabilitation ef-
forts without endangering the Party's socialist policies.

According to a press statement issued yesterday in Dar es Salaam by the Party
Chief Executive Secretary, Ndugu Daudi Mwakawago, the committee endorsed SAP
after in-depth deliberations.

He said the committee was of the view that the programme is a comprehensive
elaboration of the objectives set in the National Economic Survival Programme

(NESP) .

“SAP explains in more detail the nature of our economic problems
and prescribes solutions to some of them. The committee also
stressed that the programme is an implementation of basic Party
decisions contained in NESP.”, the statement said.

The statement explained, that the progamme incorporates all
major farets of NESP — promote export crops and goods to increase
foreign change reserves; raise food crop production; and control
recurrent expenditure. -

Other major points are: redirecting resource investment into areas
meant for economic rehabilitation; judicious allocation of foreign
exchange; and ensuring production of necessary consumer goods.

The three-year adjustment programme’ was presented in
Parlfament during the on-going Budget session and is aimed at
bolstering industrial and agricultural production and consolidating
the service, communications and energy sectors.

According to SAP, the country requires 10,026m/- in foreign aid as
import support for essential goods, raw materials and spare parts.

he programme also seeks to raise the country's foreign exchange
reserve position through agricultural and industrial exports enabling
the country to meet the costs of essential imports by 1985/86.

SAP further aims ‘at reducing the country’s debt burden which
levelled at more than 2,800m/- by last December.

Some of the industries will have to be closed down to maximise
foreign exchange utilisation. The thrust will be to sustain only
Projects supplementing the national revival plan.

although more complex since some of those con-
ventionally regarded as strong candidates for the
presidential succession appear to be in increasingly
ambivalent positions. Then apart from the long-term
problem of feeding 6m people (the population
growth rate is about 2.5%, 0.5% less than. the
average of its neighbours) from a small already
productive land area, there are also two pressing
economic-cum-political problems:—

1) The inability of the Mozambican ports of Nacala and Beira to
handle Malawian ‘exports and imports, and the inefficiency of
Mozambican management of the railways.

2) Malawi's close relations with South Africa and the consequent
difficulty of a) establishing workable relations with Mozambique
and Zimbabwe and b) remaining aloof from the activities of the

South African-backed Mozambique National Resistance (MNR)
movernent.

The succession stakes

Past speculation on likely successors has proved
notoriously inaccurate. In early 1977, it will be
recalled, Albert Muwalo Nqumayo, then secretary-
general of the ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP),
was convicted with Special Branch director, Focus
Martin Gwede, of plotting to assassinate President
Banda. Three years later Aleke Banda, the
president’s confidant and manager of Press Holdings
(Malawi’s largest private company, owned almost
entirely, by the president) who had assumed the
mantle as the most likely presidential candidate, was
dismissed and placed under house arrest. At the.end
of last year Bakili Muluzi, secretary-general of. the
MCP, was demoted to minister of transport and
communications. Last month he retired from. the
post and is now out of political life altogether.

MALAWI



Excerpts of the interview follow:-

Question: It is said that this country is more widely known in the interna-
tional scene since you assumed the post of Foreign Minister some five years
ago. What do you think is responsible?

Answer: I would not know how correct that statement is, but if it is so,
I can only ascribe to a fortuitious combination of circumstances.

Principally in the course of the last five years, Sierra Leone has been a
little more active both in the sub-regional and regional organisation.

Namibia

For example, President Stevens became Chairman of the OAU and Sierra Leone
as Chairman country played a remarkably effective role in intermediating in
African Affairs.

In this period also, Sierra Leone played host to ECOWAS and President Stevens
as Chairman of the ECOWAS played an important role in the sub-regional
grouping.

All these afforded us--President Stevens, his Ministers and Sierra Leonean
Diplomats--to act as the focal point and spokesman at one point or the other
for Africa at the global level.

Policy

Naturally the consequence of these events is to draw some diplomatic attention
to Sierra Leone as a country.

Question: The African continent has been likened to a human body which feels
the pain when one part is affected or injured.

When you take the Namibian issue into consideration what hopes do you think
Africans should have for the eventual independence of that country?

Answer: As you correctly say, African states agonise over the question of
Namibian independence.

Everyday that passes without this being achieved goes down as an affront to
every African.

My hope and belief is that one day Namibia shall be free however long the
process.

What we want to avoid is blood shed to achieve this objective.
But the intransigence of the Pretoria regime and the vacillation of the group
of Five Western countries which have gratuitously taken the mantle of honest

programme for Namibian independence do not altogether conduce confidence to
achieving independence by peaceful means for Namibia.

LUPHOHLO WORKERS WALK OUT

SWAZILAND

Mbabane THE TIMES OF SWAZILAND in English 24 Jun 82 pp 1, 16

[Article by James Dlamini]

[Text]

WORKERS at the
strife-torn Lupho-
hlo project went
on strike yesterday
— demanding that
sacked strike lea-
der Zeblon Tsabe-
dze be reinstated
immediately.

At least 400 wor-
kers.downed tools in
Siphocosini after be-
ing informed that Mr:
Tsabedze had been sa-
cked, *

The workers said
Mr. Tsabedze refused
to take his pay when

whe ‘was told that he

was being fired and
refused to sign a pa-
per confirming his

- dismissal.

He ‘informed: the wor--
kers that he had been sa-
cked and was leaving. They
immediately downed tools~
and demanded that Mr.
Tsabedze be allowed to
put his case and also that
management explain why
he had been dismissed be-
fore they could return to
work.

Workers told The Times
that police dashed to the
scene immediately. They
saw Mr. Tsabedze being
picked up in a police van,
but. they did not know
where he was taken.

” Mr. Tsabedze led a ma-
jor strike of e1 yyees of
Wimpey International ear-
lier this year in which
workers demanded pay ri-
ses, improved working co-
nditions, the dismissal of
two members of. manage-
ment and the end to alleged
racism and use of abusive

language by personnel offi-

cers.
Workers said that’ sinc&

the strike, Mr. -Tsabedze .

has been subjected to
sustained harassment and

“taunts by expatriate super-_

visors at work.

Management

They said added to that,
management tried to get rid
of him by transferring him
from Siphocosini to Mvu-
tshini where there is. another
Wimpey workforce on the
project. They said they fi-
red him then hoping that
the workers would not no-
tice it.

They said Mr. Tsabedze
lived in Siphocosini and

~ they viewed his transfer

as a trap so that he. would
come to work late and then
get fired on that pretext.
They alleged that when ma-
nagement realised that it di-
dn’t work and he came on
time, they fired him without
a reason.

The workers managers
kept “taunting” Mr. Tsé-
bedze at work” by patting

91

him on the shoulders. and
saying: “Tsabedze you have
lost a job.”

“But he- exercised extre-
me patience,” they said. -

Mr. Tsabedze is a me-
mber of the works commi-
ttee. The workers said they
would not go back to work
unless Mr. Tsabedze was
reinstated. They alleged

-that the other members of

the works committee had
“sold out”? to management

by trying to persuade them ,

to go to. work:

They ‘said that three

members:of the committee
saw Mr. Tsabedze being

* picked up by police when he

was fired, but they said he
had been suspended.

“They think they can sell
us to the English like that.

We are not as foolish as

they think,” the workers
shouted.

Committee

“‘How can a man be su-
and taken in a po-

fice van, Why did the police
decide to give him a. lift
today?” they shouted. “If
they sack Tsabedze, they
may as well sack the whole
workforce. We elected him
to the committee. We did
not know that we were
causing trouble for him and
his family when we elected
him. The whole committee
may as well be dissolved.

ple to get into trouble for

the situation.

Mr Kok spoke to this
person telephonically
yesterday afternoon and
was told that the report
was “going well”. He was
also told that another
gentlemen would also be at
the hotel at 7.30 to see him.

Mr Kok went to the
hotel last night, accom-
panied by John Meinert
MD, Mr Peter Meinert, but
this person was not.there.
He had apparently booked
out. The matter was left at
that.

Another person also
visited The Advertiser
yesterday and told Mr Kok
that he witnessed much of
the happenings at the
camp, that the Advertiser
report on Monday was es-
sentially correct and that
he would be willing to act
as a witness if legal
recourse is resorted to.

Late yesterday Mr Kok
received yet another
anonymous telephone call,
except that the person said
he was a journalist and he
was also on the Sigma trip.
Mr Gowaseb was allegedly
abducted, manhandled and
assaulted in Etosha while
officially covering the
launching of one of
Sigma’s new vehicles.

NEUTRAL
The person said he was
neutral and wanted to give
a fair account of what hap-
pened.

29

He alleged that problems
started at a Sigma function
in Windhoek before the
journalists left for Etosha.

He alleged that Mr
Gowaseb behaved himself
well but invited a friend
who had too much to drink
and got “completely out of
hand". This person was
not a guest of Sigma’s and
his presence apparently up-
set the Sigma management.
The behaviour of this
person furthermore ap-
parently created an at-
mosphere that had a strong
bearing on the events that
were to follow.

This person furthermore
alleged that on the night of
the abduction and man
handling of Mr Gowaseb,
Mr Gowaseb had had too
much to drink, but con-
ceded that the alleged ac-
tions of the Conservation
Department officials were
uncalled for.

On the other hand, he
said, Mr Gowaseb was not
left in the open, but taken
to a nearby Army camp
“where he was left to sleep
in a tent and to dry out.”

Mr Gowaseb was taken
back to Okaukuejo at 7 the
next morning.

Mr Gowaseb this morn-
ing vehemently denied
these charges and stands
by his original story.



KENYA

SINGLE-PARTY SYSTEM PRAISED
Nairobi MSETO in Swahili 6 Jun 82 p 2
[Editorial: "Single-Party Democracy"]

[Text] In recent days, there have been hectic campaigns by some politicians
wanting to oppose the one-party system in this country.

The concern of these bitter [wenye siasa kali] politicians is that the single-
party system covers up the desires of the citizens. These politicians contend
that many parties make for "true" democracy.

This campaign to oppose the single-party system in the end was the reason the
main committee of the ruling party KANU met under the leadership of the wise and
honorable President Daniel arap Moi in the parliament building. Among the deci-
sions made at that meeting, which was a complete success, is the step, enthusi-
astically supported by the citizens and the leaders, to remove from the KANU
Party the likes of Oginga Odinga and George Anyona.

The KANU Party committee decided that the behavior of those driven out of the
party was not in line with the aims and desires of the ruling party.

Many Western nations have failed to understand the importance of the one~party
system in such African countries as Kenya. These nations are the ones that
charge from time to time that the single-party system is like a dictatorship.
These nations contend that the multiparty system makes for democratic compro-
mises in the government.

The bitter politicians in this country have made these strong demands and warn-
ings for the establishment of other parties in the country.

Before looking into the advantages and disadvantages of many parties, there are
a few things that must be given great importance. In the first plan of those
who fight for the establishment of another party or parties, they will tell you
they want to do or finish whatever more than is being accomplished now by the
ruling KANU Party.

It is evident that, as we said in our issue of 21 March 1982, this ruling party
of the government has done a great deal of work to unite all the citizens in

Mr Botha also announced that the Presidential Council will also be asked to
look into nature conservation and development, as well as how to respond to
the great shortage in technical and scientific workers in South Africa.

The Presidential Council will also look into the principles according to which
priorities can be set between conservation and development by referring to the
relative importance of the land as a whole on the one hand, and physical de-
velopment on the other, as well as the question of whether conservation is a
goal in and of itself or whether it is only a means to an end.

The status of nature conservation in South Africa will be studied, including
the national parks, the conservation of the natural heritage of the land for
posterity and the financing of the conservation operation.

Opposition Leader Challenged
Capetown DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Jun 82 p 22
[article: "Slabbert Challenged on Buthelezi Plan" |

[Text ] The leader of the opposition, Dr Van Zyl Slabbert, should now candidly
say whether he rejects the position of Captain Gatsha Buthelezi, which advo-

cates a political system of one man one vote in a unitary state, Prime Minister .
P.W. Botha said yesterday.

Mr Botha noted during the third reading debate on the budget that Dr Slabbert
had said in a speech that the struggle for full citizenship and freedom for
everyone in South Africa is continuing, and that he and Captain Buthelezi
should join hands in the struggle ahead.

This was just after Captain Buthelezi, chief minister of KwaZulu and leader of
Inkatha, had said there would be no need for a great constitutional change in
South Africa. The blacks only have to be given universal suffrage. This would
mean a system of one man one vote in a unitary state, the prime minister said.

In response to a question from Mr Botha, Dr Slabbert said that he still sup-
ports paragraph 8 of the interim report of the Schlebusch Committee, which
states that the Westminster system is unacceptable without adjustments and
that a one man one vote system in the current constitutional context would
lead to the domination of minorities by a majority.

The prime minister said that Dr Slabbert must now state in public that he re-
jects Captain Buthelezi's constitutional plan and that he will fight it toge-
ther with the government.

Dr Slabbert refused to respond to this, while other PFP [Progressive Federal
Party | members made interjections.

"Are you also being led from behind," Mr Botha asked Dr Slabbert.
Dr Slabbert must effectively and actively help put an end to the agitation for

one man one vote in a unitary state. The government will not even discuss this
with Captain Buthelezi, Mr Botha said.

GEC TRACTION ORDER--A R32-MILLION order for electrical equipment to be used

in electric locomotives has been given to GEC Traction & Signal, a member of
the GEC South Africa group, by South African Transport Services through the
main contractor, Union Carriage & Wagon Company. The order is for 65 sets

of traction equipment for 6E1 locomotives, to be supplied at the rate of five
a month, starting during 1983 and continuing through to 1984. The order brings
to 1 065 the total number of sets supplied by, or on order from, GEC Traction
& Signal. The chairman of the company, Mr Don Nash, said that manufacture

of the electrical equipment would be shared equally between GEC Traction &
Signal's factory at Driehoek, Germiston, and GEC Traction Limited of Manchester,
England. Mr Nash said: "GEC Traction & Signal is the only South African man-
ufacturer of complete sets of electrical equipment for locomotives and motor
coaches in the Republic, and the order ensures continuity of production at

our Driehoek factory until the end of 1984. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN

CUBANS MUST GO--MR BOTHA siad that South Africa was determined to stand firm
on her demand that the Cuban presence in Angola be withdrawn before the South
West African problem was settled. "We have made our point very clear that we
are not standing in the way of South West Africa's independence," he said.
"All we want is that all the peoples of South West Africa have the opportunity
of expressing their will on the subject of its Government in an unbiased way
and without intimidation or at gunpoint." South West Africa was a tremendous
financial burden to South Africa and was costing the Republic hundreds of mil-
lions of rand a year. "And nobody is supporting us in carrying this heavy
burden--or even easing it." But South Africa's attitude was that as long as
there was a Cuban presence in Angola there was a threat--and she was now re-
ceiving open and outspoken support from some leaders in the United States.
South Africa's military presence in South West Africa had been requested by
the people of South West Africa--was a direct result of requests from leaders
there. "We are prepared to leave if the poeple want it--other than Swapo.
With the Minister of Foreign Affairs I recently discussed this very question
with South West African leaders and asked them bluntly if they wanted us to
leave. No one wanted it. We will stay there as long as we are required, with
the matter to be considered on its merits." Of the Cubans he said: "We want
to see them leaving to believe it. If one or two remain--they could always
be kep to show future generations what Cubans look like. But the mass of Cub-
ans must go. I don't mean only a dozen or so--their departure must be seen
to be happening." [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 7 Jul 82 p 3]

SENEGAL

FINANCE COMMISSION CHAIRMAN ON BUDGET
Dakar LE SOLEIL in French 2 Jun 82 p 3

[Text] During the National Assembly's discussion yesterday of the 1982-1983
draft budget, Deputy Hamet Diop, chairman of the finance and economic affairs
committee, proposed a progressive increase of 2 percent in the salaries of
public service officials beginning 1 July. He said in his report that the
draft budget "comes at the middle stage of the period of the medium-term
plan for economic and financial recovery." Its revenue and expenditure are
estimated at Fr 230,207,750,000, or an increase of 9 percent over the
corrective budget voted for the current period, which was aimed at "reducing
the deficit in budget operations and in the special treasury accounts."
Hamet Diop believes that "1982 will be a year of economic recovery with more
favorable conditions of internal supply and demand than in 1981." This
judgment is based on favorable rainfall and a well-prepared agricultural
campaign with encouraging results: 878,000 tons of peanuts, 41,000 tons of
cotton, and 736,000 tons of millet and sorghum. Total value of agricultural
output is estimated at 118 billion, compared to 67.8 billion in 1981. How-
ever, Dr Diop warned that "the international market remains gloomy." He
explained that 600,000 tons of shell peanuts would certainly be delivered
to the oil plant but "because of the fall in world prices for this product,
that tonnage is only equivalent to 300,000 tons sold and delivered to the
plant in 1981."

Hamet Diop revealed, in respect to internal consumption, that the controlled
production of peanuts had made it possible to inject some 42 billion into the
rural economy, compared to only 9 billion in 1981.

Discussing the draft operating budget, Mr Diop said it was "based entirely
on ordinary revenues, without recourse to new taxes, or, for the present
increases in taxes." However, he explained that certain duties and taxes
have been included in the budget which were previously paid into special
treasury accounts. These include the road fund, the housing improvement
fund, and the fund to equip local communities. These three accounts will be
funded through special grants.

New Measures

As for new measures, they include: for personnel, recruitment of officials
for newly created functions, an increase in the number of deputies for the
