CIVIL SERVANTS, TEACHERS UNPAID IN ONDO STATE

Lagos DAILY TIMES in English 21 Jul 82 p 40

Ag millions of people enjoy the Eid-El-Fitr.
holidays in all parts of the country, civil
servants and teachers in Ondo State are yet
to receive their June salaries. -

According to a top civil servant in the
state capital, Akure, the workers are still not
sure of when the salaries would come from the

government.

“The most appalling thing,” said the civil ser-
vant, “is that the government has not made any

statement on the matter”.

Another source close to the state’s accountant-
general’s office in Akure said the ‘government

needs about 811.5 million to

y the teachers and

the civil servants for the month.”

The source said that
the irregularities in
payment of teachers’
valaries began over a
year ago. It later affec-
ted civil servants last
April.

“The May salaries of
civil servants were paid
between June 21 and 25
and since then the
government has found it
very difficult to pay all
salaries
of junior workers” the
source revealed.

Recession

Another state govern-
ment official blamed the
situation on the national
economic recession.

A female teacher with
Acquinas College said
she now sells petty
articles ‘to make both
ands meet.”

The Ondo State Com-
missioner for Finance,
Chief Olufemi __ Ilori,
could not be reached but
an official in the
ministry blamed the
situation on cuts m

ints to state govern-
Fents by the Federal
Government.

“The tightening up of
banks lending pclicy
worsened the situation
but I think the govern-
ment is doing all it can
to pay the workers
before the month runs
out,” the official said.

Proof Why I'm No Longer in NP:

DR Andries Treurnicht,
leader of the Conserva-
tive Party yesterday
said the announcement
of the Government’s
new policy guidelines
proved why he and a
number of other former
National Party office
bearers were no longer
with the NP.

He said the issues
which had led to the
split in the NP and
which were now taken
up as the NPs new poli-
cy guidelines include
matters such as a mixed
parliament — with its
three chambers it was
nothing but another
form of a unitary politi-
cal system — its shock-
ing granting of final
Powers to a mixed
presidents council.”

“Its mixed cabinet —
in practice removes the
final power from the

Treurnicht

hands of the Whites
and gives the Executive
President the right to
decide on his own which
matters are so-called
matters of common in-
terest or matters re-
lated to a specific popu-
lation group.”

Dr Treurnicht said
the new NP policy was
further proof that the
government had set on
a course of depriving
the Whites of their

‘right to ‘decide for

themselves”. “It is a rid-
iculous policy.”

He said the mixed
cabinet was at the time
the basic issue on which
he and Dr Ferdi Hart-
zenberg had objected
to, because it was and
remained unacceptable
to them.

Dr Treurnicht said
the new guidelines de-
viated strongly from
the 1977 constitutional

proposals of the NP and
he was surprised that
the Prime Minister now
said it did not deviate.

He said he would
comment fuller on the
Government’s _propo-
,sals when he opened
the Conseryative Par-
ty’s first congress in
Pretoria tonight at a
public meeting in the
City Hall.

Dr Treurnicht re-
fused to comment on
the possibility that Dr
Servaas Latsky, Trans-
vaal MEC and one or
two other MPCs, who

_ apparently also dis-
agreed with the NPs
new policy proposals,
could soon defect the
NP to join the ranks of
the CP.

But other representa-
tives of the CP believe
Dr Latsky will soon join
their ranks.

Raw Reacts to New Guidelines

cso:

4700/1673

THE leader of the New
Republic Party, Mr
Vause Raw, said the
basic differences be-
tween the National
Party's new _ policy
guidelines and NRP
Policy remained the
Government’s —exclu-
sion of non-homeland
Blacks from its internal
Politics, the exclusion
of the Opposition from
Practical politics and
the method of joint de-
cision-making.
Reacing to the Goy-
ernment’s new policy
Proposals he said the
Prime Minister’s guide

les were too far-
reaching for instant
evaluation.

But he welcomed
some of the Govern-

117

ment’s envisaged steps
, including its acceptance
of the President’s
“Council proposals on
local government and
acceptance of a-metro-
politan government.

‘Mr Raw met his prov-
| incial leaders last night
for discussions on the
Government’s new poli-
cy guidelines.

He said his party's
federal executive will
-hold a special meeting
‘on August 13 at which
the guidelines would be
fully evaluated.

He said the NRP
would not discuss any-
thing in detail before
then because it in-
tended to react to Mr P
W  Botha’s _ political
package as a whole.

BRIEFS

URANIUM AGREEMENT--A protocol to an agreement on the exploitation and mining
of uranium in the concession of GECAMINES [General Quarries and Mines Company],
in Zaire, was signed on Wednesday by representatives of the GECAMINES, of the
General Company for Nuclear Materials (COGEMA) and of the General Atomic
Energy Commission, during a working session chaired by Citizen Umba Kyamitala,
commissioner of state for mines and energy. According to the communique
released to AZaP [Zairian Press Agency] by that department on Thursday, the
three agencies were represented by Andre J. Coste for COGEMA; by Robert Crem,
delegate president of GECAMINES and by Malu wa Kalenga, general commissioner
for atomic energy. Citizen Umba said on this occasion that the protocol of
agreement is part of efforts made by the Executive Council to industrialize
Zaire and to train young Zairian cadres in the field. He expressed the hope
that the agreement will constitute a step in that direction. [Text]

ALIEN RESIDENT PERMIT CHECK--No new resident permits will be issued for any
part of the city of Kinshasa until after a scheduled verification is carried
out. Foreigners holding a resident permit which has expired, will be given

a month to get their papers in order. This is what transpired after a meeting
of the capital's district commissioners held at the City Hall on Thursday

and presided by Citizen Kpama Baramoto, deputy governor of Kinshasa and
chairman of the Subcommission for Security. The deputy governor issued new
instructions to the heads of the municipal administration in connection with
residency rules for foreigners. Citizen Baramoto also asked them to send

to the urban office of the CNRI (National Research and Investigation Council)
all cards of the type A and B for verification. The Subcommission for
Security was formed on Wednesday and consists of the attorney general attached
to the Court of Appeal of Kinshasa, the regional administrator of the CNRI,
the commander of the Kinshasa Military Region and the secretary general of
the JMPR [Youth of the Popular Movement of the Revolution]. [Text]

NEW DEAL LIKELY TO SPUR MORE NAT DEFECTIONS

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 2 Aug 82 p 2

[article by Jaap Theron]

Erext]

THERE are strong in-
dications that Dr Ser-
vaas Latsky, Trans-
vaal National Party
MEC, and two or
more other Nat MPCs
will defect from the
NP sooner or later,
most probably at the
Transvaal NP con-
gress following their
attitudes and actions
at the NP’s federal
congress in Bloem-
fontein this weekend.

Dr Latsky and Mr
Dries Bruwer, MPC for
Lydenburg, as well as
Mr Johann Pistorius,
MPC for Standerton,
were absent from the
congress when it cast a
unanimous vote in
favour of the Prime
Minister’s new political
guidelines.

Dr Latsky and Mr
Bruwer are said to have
left the meeting min-
utes before the voting,
while ther were also in-
dications that a number
of other delegates

cso: 4700/1673

walked out or were ab-
sent at the time of vot-

ing.

Approached _yester-
day on reports that he
and others were on the
way out of the NP and
that they would soon
join the ranks of the
Conservative Party, Dr
Latsky refused to com-
ment. He only referred
to his standpoint at the
federal congress.

Dr Latsky even re-
fused to say whether he
would repeat his stand-
point, of objection to
several points and as-
pects of the Prime Min-
ister’s guidelines, at the
coming Transvaal NP
congress.

But he made it clear
yesterday that the
Transvaal NP executive
could not act against
him for “taking up a
standpoint or for rais-
ing certain questions at

a federal congress.”

“A person’s stand-
point at a non-policy

making federal con-

113

SOUTH AFRICA

gress cannot bind a
man — only one takes
up a standpoint at a
provincial congress,” he
said.

“I did not do any-
thing in Bloemfontein
for my own popularity,”
he added.

Dr Andries Treur-
‘nicht, leader of the CP,
| was not prepared to
jcomment on Dr Lats-
| ky’s standpoints or on
i his actions before the
|federal congress in
| Bloemfontein.

The Transvaal NP ex-
ecutive met  immedi-
ately after the federal
congress and indica-
tions were that they
discussed the Latsky
matter.

No statement was
made aftér the” éx-
ecutive meeting, but it
is that Dr
Latsky and certain
other NP representa-
tives’ actions would be
referred to their NP
divisional councils for
investigation and ac-
tion if necessary.



SOMALIA

"RADIO KULMIS' CITES DFSS STATEMENT ON U.S. AID
EA312212 (Clandestine) Radio Kulmis in Somali to Somalia 1800 GMT 31 Jul 82

[Text] A press release by the Democratic Front for the Salvation of
Somalia [DFSS] vehemently condemns the decision by the U.S. administration
to extend and deliver arms to the military dictatorship of Somalia. This
constitutes naked interference in the internal tensions inside Somalia
and has nothing to do with the ideological confrontation and international
political squabbles between the superpowers.

The press statement says the armed struggle waged by the Somali people
spearheaded by the DFSS against the dictatorial regime to liberate their
motherland Somalia is by no means the work of any outside forces whatso-
ever, be they Ethiopians, Cubans, the USSR or others.

The DFSS press statement adds that the decision by the U.S. Government
to airlift arms to Somalia will not prolong the dying regime of Siad
Barre but instead will fan the flames already raging in the Horn of
Africa. The arms delivery will also prolong the suffering and blood-
shed and at the same time internationalize the crisis and create
permanent instability in Africa in particular and the world in general.

The press statement goes on to say that the aims, beliefs and goal of
the Somali people who have risen against Siad Barre's regime are as
follows:

1. To safeguard and protect the democratic principles and freedom of
the Somali people.

2. To revive the human rights and self-respect of the Somali people.

3. To destroy the dictatorial rule in Somalia.

4. To abolish completely all forms of political dictatorship in Somalia.
We see the naked U.S. interference in the internal affairs of Somalia

as direct enmity against the Somali masses. This U.S. interference in

the internal affairs of Somalia is not only enmity against the Somali
masses but also a move which denies the Somali their freedom, respect

62



"Because with Egypt, the whole of Africa was being held in contempt and, what
is worse, was being torn and humiliated," Citizen Ekila explained adding that
such decision was fully warranted on Egyptian and, therefore, African grounds
and not on Arab grounds.

"We are being reproached for our lack of solidarity but isn't this proof of
a deep and appropriate solidarity?" she asked.

The secretary general for women's affairs mentioned that on 25 April 1982
Egypt was given back its African territory and that the fraternal country of
Egypt was the first to establish amicable relations with the Jewish state.
Under these circumstances Zaire, true to a consistent policy, could do
nothing but restore its relations with Israel.

"It is on account of this logical stand--which has the support of all the MPR
activists, men and women--that we are now being subjected to terrorist
threats against the leader of our party, the father of the nation, and to
urgings to rise against all the work of national construction carried out
over a period of 17 years through close collaboration between that leader and
his people," the spokeswoman said describing such attitude as pure and simple
provocation.

The Executive Committee emphasizes the need for the masses to be vigilant in
all directions and reminded the people that there is a patriotic and
revolutionary duty which no citizen can evade: the duty of protecting the
gains of the national revolution.

The Executive Committee of the party has warned those who, in any way, from
near or far, dare to organize actions which may be detrimental to the genuine
Zairian revolution: "In our 17 years of struggle we have matured and grown
up and we can no longer be deceived. Let us become mobilized against any
evil force likely to divide our ranks," it advises.

In the same context, the secretary general for women's affairs recalled the
"brazen criminal actions which have been carried out lately by some citizens
and which represent a threat against people's security in the towns of
Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Mbuji-Mayi." She raised the question of whether
such actions will not provide an opportunity or excuse to those who want to
undo the restoration work of the MPR.

This is why, she went on to say, the Executive Committee of the party urgently
invites its activists, men and women, to cooperate with members of the police
force and with the units of activists for the defense of the revolution (CADER)
on patrol duty; to help one another against any gang of outlaws which descend
on their districts and to denounce without fear any hotbed of crime.

"In our struggle to oppose this campaign against Zaire and its leader, we must
be ready, here and now, to participate all of us in any action that the
Executive Committee of the party may be brought to take," the spokeswoman

of the MPR Executive Committee said in conclusion.

The Conservative Party and its leader, Dr
Treurnicht, have come out very strongly
against it, Dr Treurnicht accugjng the
Government of being “integrationists,
power sharers, the sell-outs of the White
man’s heritage and betrayers of White
self-determination and identity.”

The Herstigte Nasionale Party has,
through its leader, Mr Jaap Marais, re-
jected the new proposals in toto.

The Prime Minister, it is true, has the
unanimous support of his party’s Federal
Congress.

But the Government cannot impose such
radical changes without referring them
to the electorate, especially in view of the
criticism of the various opposition par-
ties.

The plan should be tested in a national re-
ferendum or in an election.

After amendment, this agenda was adopted and two working subcommittees were
created. Each of them included a president and a chairman.

Apart from the work of this session, the Beninese minister of the plan,
statistics and economic analysis and part of his retinue, on the invitation
of the head of the Guinean delegation, had to see the industrial cities of
Kamsar, Sangaredi and the Kindia Institutes of Agriculture and Applied
Biology. Here and there, the Beninese delegation expressed satisfaction with
the immense efforts made by the People of Guinea to build a free and
prosperous nation.

By the way of results obtained at the end of the work, the two parties signed
and initialed:

--a convention relating to the status of technical assistance personnel
between the two countries;

--a protocol for applying a cultural agreement signed 25 May between the
two countries;

SHARP DROP IN GROWTH RATES EXPECTED FOR '82

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 23 Jul 82 p 1

CSO:

4700/1675

THE real growth in Zimbabwe's
economy Is likely to fall to 3% or
less this year, after « provisional
estimate of 12,9% expansion in
real GNP last year. This was stated
in the July Economile Bulletin issu-
ed by the Standard Bank Group.

Provisional national accounts
figures for last year showed a high-
gr real growth than, was generally
forecast. The provisional 12,9%
increase compares with the Minis-
try of Finance estimate in April of
7,5%, and the Reserve Bank esti-
mate of 8%. GNP last year rose
27%, but prices rose 12,3%. Un-
fortunately, the bulletin states,
impressive growth performance is
too good to last and in 1982 there
will be no, growth in real incomes
per head since GNP is unlikely to
keep pace with the 3,6% popula-
tion increase.

Agricultural production will be
down 12% and output volumes by
more 20%. It also now seems pro-
‘bable that average tobacco prices

will be at least 10% lower than in
1981.

The value of Zimbabwe mining
output slipped only 1% in the first
two months of 1982, but output
volumes were down 6% to their
lowest level since 1969.

Output growth in manufac-
turing is forecast to be the lowest
experienced since 1978. Expansion
slowed to 10% last year, from al-
most 15% in 1980 and 10,7% in
1979. In the first two months of
this year output has been fraction-
ally higher than last year. Since
then, however, there have been re-
ports of short-time working in the
clothing industry and of reduced
output levels in the drink and
tobacco and metals sector.

‘On the supply side industry is
being squeezed by the 14,5% cut-
back in foreign-exchange alloca-
tions, while on the demand side,
exports are suffering following the
sharp depreciation in the rand, de-
valuation in Malawi and Botswa-
na, and a slow down in the South
African economy.

However, the bank disagrees
with those who consider that the
Zimbabwe dollar should be de-
valued. It states that while there is
a good deal of evidence to suggest
that the Zimbabwe dollar is over-
valued, it is questionable whether
currency depreciation would
achieve an improved external-
payment situation at a time when
international demand is low.

The report said that a major
drawback to “evaluation in a
country which imports more than
one third of its GNP, is a danger
that the price adjustment benefit
would be soon dissipated by sharp-
ly rising costs, prices and incomes.

GOVERNMENT, NIS IMPLICATION IN SEYCHELLES COUP ATTEMPT DEPLORED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 31 Jul 82 p 6

[Editorial]

[text]

WE ACCEPT the Prime Minister’s assu-
rance that the Government, the Cabinet
and the Defence Force were not aware of
the attempted coup in the Seychelles and
that no authorisation was given for any
action.

His statement, however, adds to the ex-
treme disquiet over the participation of
National Intelligence Service and De-
fence Department officials in the affair.

It appears that Colonel Hoare approached

- officials of NIS for limited logistical
support and the request was referred to
Officials of the Defence Force.

Defence Force personnel provided Colonel
Hoare with hand-weapons, ammunition
and radios. ’

The involvement of Dolinchek and others
was unauthorised.

The attempted coup was executed without
the knowledge or approval of officials or
departments concerned (with the excep-
tion of those who took part directly).

How the participants of NIS and the De-
fence Department came to act on their
own in this foolish manner is something
that is not explained, but is deserving of
further probing, since it is a reflection on
both NIS and the Defence Depart-
ment that the officials could have done
so without the knowledge of their su-

.- periors.

We have suggested that a full and indepen-
dent inquiry be instituted into the whole
affair — and we believe such an inquiry is
still necessary despite the departmental
investigations that have been held.

68

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has prom-
ised departmental action will be taken
against those officials who exceeded
their authority, and we hope that in due
course such action will be made publicly
known.

‘Also, the Prime Minister has announced
that legislation will be introduced during
the next session of Parliament to make
the use and recruitment of South Afri-
can citizens as mercenaries, or the insti-
gation thereof, a punishable offence.

That is the least that can be done to avoid
a repetition of the whole sorry business.

We should be under no illusions about the
bad éffect the attempted coup has had on
this country’s image.

The méercenariés were recruited and arm-
ed here, and set off on their ill-fated mis-
sion from our soil.

The fact that Defence Force and National
Intelligence Service officials were in-
volved in helping Colonel Hoare will be
held against South Africa, as evidence of
this country’s alleged complicity, even
though the Government has categorical-
ly denied it had anything to do with the
attempted-coup. .

Consequently, althotga the trials both
here and in the Seychelles have ended,
the international repercussions will con-

. tinue.

As for Colonel Hoare and his aides, who
received severe sentences, they have only
themselves to blame for the way things
have turned out. .

"SOCIALISM BY STEALTH' SLAMMED BY RSA PAPER

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 23 Jul 82 p 10

[Text]

cso:

JAN article condemning the grow-
Ing practice in South Africa of us-
ing soldiers in the Defence Force to
carry out civil service duties sp-
peared In last week's Financial
Mail under the heading: ‘‘Socia-
lism by stealth’’. It has similarities
with previous events in this coun-
try.

The Johannesburg-based busi-
ness magazine said that South Af-
rican taxpayers willingly ‘‘foot the
bill”’ for a large military establish-
ment as a powerful deterrent
against the ‘‘comm' threat to
destabilise the region with the aim
of installing a Marxist regime”.

GIVING LIVES

In addition their sons of all races
gave years of their youth and
sometimes their lives to try to en-
sure that the country would evolve
peacefully into a more just society.

“This, then, is the noble cause
of the military; to protect the na-
tion as it moves, however halting-
ly, away from evils of racist laws.

But now, said the article, highly
skilled and qualified young men
were taken by the force of law
from their careers and dragooned
into the civil service while they
were supposed to be fulfilling mili-
tary obligations.
+ PEACEFUL CHANGE

Eminent economists and the
Prime Minister (of South Africa)

accepted that a health economy
was vital to peaceful change. This

4700/1675

depended on a virile and successful
private sector producing wealth for
the nation and jobs for the people.
It was in the national interest that
the private sector should flourish.

But reports now suggested that
many more soldiers would be draf-
ted into the civil service to alleviate
staff shortages.

“Perhaps it is overstating the

case to desctibe this process as
socialism by stealth. But it is clear-
ly of immense danger both to the
health of the private sector and to
civil liberties when the military,
with its wide call-up powers, can
command men to perform non-
military duties at its whim,” the
article continued.
* “And it is duplicitous for the
Defence Force to draw a parallel
with the sort of services soldiers
perform in situations of emergency
such as floods and other civil disas-
ters.” :

The article outlined definitions
in the Defence Act limiting services
outside the military or the police to
service in connection with “the
preservation of life, health or pro-
perty or the maintenance of essen-
tial services”, as opposed to an-
other section which allowed the
Ministry of Defence wider powers
and gave him the right “to do
practically anything he bally well
wishes.””

It added: “Sometimes we won-
der why government bothers with
the dreary process of debating and
drafting laws when they so often
place no limits at all on what

97

SOUTH AFRICA

ministers may or may not do. Per-
haps that’s why so much of our
law is so badly drafted — the draf-
ters know it doesn’t really mat-
ter.”

CONDEMNATION

The article registered the
“strongest possible condemnation
of the arbitrary use of private sec-
tor manpower resources for com-
pletely non-military purposes’.

It said that if the manpower wes
not being used to protect the na-
tion, then it could more efficiently
serve the national interest by re-
turning to the private sector.

“That is where wealth and jobs
are created and where there is also
an intense and growing shortage of
skills needed to provide economic
growth. And without economic
growth, there’ll be no budget for
the military, anway.””

WAR COSTS

@ Of interest is another report in
‘this issue of the Financial Mail re-
porting estimates that the cam-
paign in northern Namibia is pre-
sently costing South Africa a total
of about R1,35 billion, or roughly
RI million a day if not more at pre-
sent costs.”

It said that the economic conse-
quences of peace in Namibia
would be “far more favourabie’”
for South Africa than they would
be for the disputed territory, as-
suming that a negotiated settle-
ment meant a complete end to
South African involvement ..in
Namibia.



[Answer] No. We cannot leave our embassies empty.

To other questions from the press, the prime minister stated that he cannot
promise to revise the distribution of governmental publicity, that the ministers
and the deputies will state their assets and that, if necessary, an investi-
gation will be made in specific cases of fraud under the former regime.

this increased demand, no new houses were being built and this worsened the

LAKE, RIVER FISHING POTENTIAL--Prime Minister Nalumino Mundia has said
Zambia could earn About K200 million if she fully exploited the fishing
potential in her rivers and lakes, He said not much was being done presently
to exploit the potential which exists, Addressing workers at Sanaki Fishing
Enterprises at Mpulungu on Sunday, Mr Mundia cited Lake Tanganyika as one

of the areas where the fishing potential of the country was not being
exploited to the mximum, According to feasiliby studies conducted by the
World Bank on the fishing potential of the lake, 19 tonnes of fish could be
caught each year in the lake if it was exploited fully. Only a third of

the lake's potential is being exploited at the moment, The Prime Minister
Also revealed that the Party had no plans to give a grant to the UNIP-owned
Sopelac Fishing Enterprise if it started experiencing financial problems
because it should stand on its own, But he noted with satisfaction that
since the re-organisation of the firm in 1980 the management has taken steps
in running it properly, As a Party-owned firm, Sopelac workers were expected
to work harder than their colleagues in other firms in order to set a good
example, [Text] [Lusaka DAILY MAIL in English 27 Jul 82 p 1]

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES REQUIRED~-Only four-wheel drive vehicles can take
food supplies from Sioma to the famine=stricken areas of Sesheke and
Senanga districts, World Food Programme (WFP) representative in Zambia,
Mr Vincent Gondwe, said yesterday, He said so far the Government had
supplied trucks to take food for the areas but these have only been able to
go as far as Sioma about 200 kilometres from Imusho, the affected area in
the province, "The situation is still the same, Food supplies are still
marooned at Sioma and the 130,000 people are still starving in Imusho," he
said, Mr Gondwe said the roads in Imusho were impassable because of too
much sand and a truck loaded with foodstuffs could never make it to the
area, He said although the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Development
had promised to assist the WFP with vehicles to transport food marooned at
Sioma, very little had been done about it "because it appears they don't
have any four-wheel drive vehicles." [Text] [Lusaka DAILY MAIL in English

The remaining 865,000 will have to find places in state, private or commu-
nity colleges. In an exclusive interview in Lagos, Minister of State for
Education Mrs Elizabeth Ivase said the 10 northern states would use "the
same national common entrance examination to admit pupils to secondary

From Jerome Safer, president of the Jewish Council of Milwaukee:

"By restoring diplomatic relations with Israel, the Republic of Zaire has
proved its leadership among the African nations. Your statesmanship will
greatly contribute to the progress of the Zairian and Israeli peoples and to
peace in the regions of the two countries."

From Maynard Wishner, president of the American Jewish Committee:

"On behalf of the American Jewish Committee, I take pleasure in congratulating
you on the recent decision of your government to restore diplomatic relations
with Israel. In the same way as the recent restitution of the Sinai to Egypt
by Israel shows the Israeli desire and determination to achieve peace with

its neighbors, so is the courageous step taken by your government an important
contribution to the process of recognizing the legitimacy of Israel, which

is the basic cornerstone for peace and reconciliation between Arabs and
Israelis. It is our hope that other African nations will follow the example
of Zaire by renewing relations with Israel to foster an atmosphere of goodwill
and mutual cooperation in the interest of everybody."

From R. I. Green, vice president of the Anti-Defamation League:

"The leadership of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League in the state of
Washington applauds your decision to reestablish relations with Israel."

From A. Foxman, associate national director of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation
League:

"We applaud your decision to renew diplomatic relations with Israel. That
move is in line with Zaire's traditional friendship towards the state of
Israel. We hope that other African countries will follow your example and
will reestablish diplomatic relations with Israel."

From Mr Perlmutter, national director of Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai
B'rith:

"We welcome your vital role in the reestablishment of diplomatic relations
with Israel. We hope that other African states will follow your example."

From Mr Ficiliand, president of the Judeo-Christian Committee for Israel:

"We congratulate you on your country's decision to restore relations with
Israel and to open an embassy there. We hope that your decision will serve
as an example to other African governments and that, like Zaire, they will
show solidarity and friendship toward Israel."

From S. Anderman, official of the Anti-Defamation League (Missouri-I1llinois):
"The Missouri-Illinois (USA) regional chapter of the Anti-Defamation League
of the B'nai B'rith wishes to express its admiration and appreciation to the

Zairian nation in connection with its decision to reestablish diplomatic
relations with Israel. JZaire's friendship will not be forgotten."

MAURITIUS

PTR TO OFFER CONSTRUCTIVE OPPOSITION
Port Louis LE NOUVEAU MILITANT in French 19 Jun 82 p 4

[Text] In a first review of the political situation after
its defeat in the 11 June election, the Labor Party (PTR]
through its president,,James Burty David, and its secre-
tary general, Sir Kher Jagatsingh, reaffirmed at a press
conference yesterday its intention to continue as a
political entity and play the role of extra-parliamentary
opposition party, since it received 23 percent of the vote
in the last elections. Sir Kher Jagatsingh and Mr David,
who addressed journalists at party headquarters in Guy
Rozement Square, in Port-Louis, stressed the fact that the
Labor Party has chosen the role of "constructive and
patriotic" opposition party, and will not "oppose just
because of a need to oppose."

The two labor leaders--who adopted a sober tone for their press conference,
and stated in particular that the party bows to the verdict of the electo-
rate--hope that the new government will be able to solve the country's prob-
lems. They reaffirmed that the Labor Party will be a sort of guard dog of
democracy in the country. SKJ did not exclude the possibility of the Labor
Party participating in the coming municipal elections promised by the new
government, but he did not support the idea of partial elections being
organized, since the country cannot mobilize a permanent electorate.

He announced that the party's executive committee will meet on Wednesday 23
June, in particular so as to set up several working parties which should,
among other things, analyze the reasons for the party's bad performance in
the recent legislative elections. A date will also be set, as soon as
possible, for a labor party congress.

Speaking first, the secretary general of the Labor Party first discussed

the results of the elections, stating that the party did not expect such
"disastrous" results. But the voting on 11 June showed that Mauritius has
consolidated its democracy and wants the system to be preserved. Continuing
SKJ said he hoped the new government would be able to cope with the country's
problems, and attributed the Labor Party's electoral defeat mainly to the
high rate of unemployment. The outgoing government found itself saddled

STRENGTHENING PFP-INKATHA TIES REPORTED

Johannesburg RAND DAILY MAIL in English 19 Jul 82 p 9

[Article by Peter Soa1]

[text]

THE PFP is going to find it
difficult to top the meeting it
hosted in the Johannesburg
City Hall on Thursday night.
Called to consolidate black
and white opposition to the
Government's proposed
hand-over of Ingwavuma and
KaNgwane to Swaziland, it
strengthened the already
strong ties between Inkatha
and the PFP.

‘The evening started short-
ly after 6 pm as crowds be-
gan to converge on the City
Hall and take their seats.

Community singing was
organised and groups congre-
gated on the steps to wait for
the arrival of the guest
speakers. They were joined
by small impis, probably
never seen before on Presi-
dent Street, who chanted and
sang into the glare of televi-
sion lamps and cameras.

' Mr Enos Mabuza arrived
to be met by a chorus of his
supporters holding banners
protesting at their proj
incorporation into Swaziland.
A group of cars drew up at
the kerbside and out stepped
Chief Gatsha Buthelezi. A
great roar erupted from the
crowd as he was swept into
the foyer and almost into the
hall. It was impossible to as-
jsemble the platform party as

he crowd was pressing

round frénrall sides anxious
to see the spgakers.

The main‘party included
the chairman of the meeting,

Mr Douglas Gibson MPC, the
four speakers, senior office

tatives of the PFP and mem-
bers of a large number of
organisations present to ex-
press their concern at the
proposed deal. Excitement
and tension built up as Doug-
Tas Gibson, surrounded by
television cameramen and
photographers, introduced
distinguished guests.

‘A warm round of applause
greeted Sheena Duncan and
Joyce Harris from the Black
Sash. The mayor of Sandton,
Peter Gardiner, received a
special cheer and Bishop
Desmond Tutu was greeted
-with sustained ululating
Special mention was made of
sDouglas Mitchell, the crusty
former Administrator of

‘Natal and UP Member’ of
Parljament, who was sitting
Sin the front row of the hall.
He and Chief Buthelezi ex-
changed “thumbs up” signs.

At last the meeting was on
its way with the police hang-
ing from a box above the
stage dressed in their long-
sleeved jerseys and open-
necked shirts attempting, un-
successfully, to appear
enthusiastic spectators. Des-
mond Tutu was on his feet
and, in his usual concise,
clear manner got to the nub
of the matter — common citi-
zenship. He was followed by
Enos Mabuza, who was ar-
ticulate, clear and penetrat-
ing in his analysis of the situ-
ation in KaNgwane.

The next speaker was the
Chief, whose approach to the

--He allegedly assaulted Gweru lawyer Mr Derek Burns in the mayoral office.
--Earlier this year Mr Kombayi was fined R6 for calling a white policeman
a racialist, a white "kaffir" and a pig after the lawman had stopped an
overloaded truck belonging to the mayor,

--He has been investigated for alleged contraventions of the country's
Customs and Excise Act involving cars imported into the country at the

time of the elections in 1980.

--He generated a storm of controversy when it was revealed the council had
bought a Mercedes-Benz as a mayoral car at a cost of more than R60 000.

--Under Councillor Kombayi, the Gweru Council was the first in the country
to vote its councillors up to 200 percent increases in allowances. The
back-dating of the increases cost the ratepayers more than R100 000.

--Bodyguards of the mayor allegedly assaulted a delegate to an international
business conference in the city. The venue was then moved to Malawi.

--There have been allegations by members of Mr Joshua Nkomo's Zanu Party
that they have been evicted from a council house on the orders of the mayor
because of their political beliefs,

To all these allegations the myor has issued strong statements and denials.
TV Interview

In a television interview, the well-built and corpulent Mr Kombayi spoke in
favour of a policy of humanism; saying he was a Christian and would not

have done the things of which he has been accused.

He added: "In fact I am one of the most popular people in the eity. Some
people were even suggesting that I should be voted mayor of the year."

TALKS ON HOUSING CRISIS IN CAPE REPORTED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 5 Aug 82 p 13

4700/1687

Talks on South Africa’s
worsening housing cri-
sis are taking place in
Cape Town.

More than .350 del-
egates are attending
the 15th annual confer-
ence of the South Afri-
can Property Owners’
Association (SAPOA)
which was opened on
Tuesday by the Minis-
ter of Finance, Mr.
Owen Horwood.

The conference will
continue today and to-
morrow and will cover
the entire field of hous-
ing, concentrating on a
number of controver-
sial points including
rent control.

Yesterday SAPOA'S
PRESIDENT, Mr R E
Levitt, said’ the body
had been formed after
the 1966 Rents Act had
been promulgated.

SAPOA had now wel-
comed, the opportunity
to testify before a Par-
liamentary select com-
mittee on the increas-

120

ingly harmrut ettects of
rent control.

“The private sector
will win its case even-
tually,” he said.

‘The general public
would not countenance
forever a shortage of vi-
tal commodity such as
rental accommodation
“if the ongoing main
cause is legislated price
contro)”, he said.

SAPOA'S deputy
president, Mr Piet
Moolman, said the con-
ference would play an
important part in devel-
oping an efficient and
stable property indus-
try in the country.

“The conference will
look towards a better
understanding of the
economic cycle and the
generally long-term
and therefore high-risk
nature of property de-
velopment,” he said.

Mr Robin Vorster,
chairman of SAPOA’S
education committee,
said the conference
would also “take a hard
look” at trends in ur-
ban development.

In other words, for some people, sending somebody to join the Militias is some-
thing like sending a person out for re-education. But, tell me, how can one
agree that a person with a police record, a thief, a rowdy, could ever be part of
our security force? He cannot. This is why we had to be relentless and expel
many people during the basic training phase."

doing the work of approximately 200 manual laborers. It is estimated that it
will gradually help to increase production.

On the basis of the first results of mechanization, the Agriculture Ministry
expects to cultivate 500 hectares of sorghum in the coming agricultural year,
which starts in October. AGROAR will participate with phytosanitary treat-
ment. It must be stressed that the production of maize has been decreasing
in recent years because of the lack of rains. Therein, the cultivation of
sorghum, which is resistant to dry spells, could replace that of maize during
years of slight rainfall.

LABOR SUBMITS PRIORITIES TO NEW GOVERNMENT
Port Louis LE NOUVEAU MILITANT in French 19 Jun 82 p 4

[Text] The General Worker's Federation intends to give
the government a list of 15 measures favoring the country's
workers which the federation considers to be priority
matters. This was announced yesterday morning by the
central president, France Soopramanien, accompanied by

his main lieutenants Serge Rayapoule, Abdoolah Sassa,

Cyril Humbert, Farook Auchaybar, Rajen Pillay and

Rajoo Teeroovengadum.

This list of priorities coincides in many places with certain promises made
by the MMM/PSM which is now in power, in particular the measures for the
country's recovery and decisions in favor of the working class, old people,
retirees, the unemployed members of trade unions, and persons fired during
the strikes of August 1979.

The governing MMM/PSM alliance gives the working class cause for much
optimism. This alliance's victory is obviously welcomed by the GWF, which
stated yesterday that it is "completely satisfied with the results obtained
on 11 June." According to F. Soopramanien, "The elections dealt a mortal

put an end to the corrupt regime that was running the country." Mr
Soopramanien said that the GWF's support for the MMM/PSM alliance was
justified insofar as this alliance's program contains much that is hopeful
for freedom of expression and for wage earners."

After the victory, the struggle starts again now--a struggle which the GWF
does not intend to carry on alone. Mr Soopramanien appealed to all trade
union leaders to work together for the country's recovery. Although it
intends to "remain in the forefront of the trade union struggle," the GWF has
stated that "it does not want to take over the trade union movement."

The GWF's priorities are:

TAZARA TO IMPORT PRC'S SPARE PARTS, FRG LOCOMOTIVES

DAR ES SALAAM. — The
Tanzania Zambia Railway
Authority (TAZARA) will
import spare parts worth
K5 million from the Peo-
ple’s Republic of China to
revive Chinese-made
DFH/2 locomotive engines,
the Deputy Minister for

Commu:
Communications andTrans-
port Guntram Itatiro told
parliament of Monday.

He said TAZARA had
plans.to substitute some of
the Chinese-made locomo-

wtives with German-made

engines.

The minister explained
that four German-made en-
gines were recently tried on
the uhuru line and the resu-
Its were positive adding
that TAZARA would pur-
chase 16 engines for eight

155

Chinese trains during the
1982/83 season.

He disclosed that there
were plans to purchases
locomotives from the Fed¢:
ral Republic of Germany
(FRG). ‘Already funds for
purchase of nine locomoti-
ves has been made avail-
able and negotiations are
still in progress to obtain
funds for the other five lo-
comotives,"’ he said.

The move is expected to
increase passenger services
twice a week on uhuru line
which had been decreased
from six to once a week.

TAZARA currently has
20 engines operating on the
main line daily, but the au-
thority needs at least 40 en-
gines to facilitate efficient
operations. — Zana/Shiha-

SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINIANS, AFGHANS VOICED
Capetown MUSLIM NEWS in English 16 Jul 82 p 40

[text]

The Palestinian people are experiencing a most horrible
nightmare; in Afghanistan Russian soldiers urinate on OUR
Qur'an; and right on our doorsteps the armed forces of the state

‘mow down miners demanding basic human rights. These events
reflect the wide-scale oppression that is being allowed to run
rampant, destroying the lives of millions. Oppression dressed in
the garb of apartheid, zionism and imperialism.

The world is a sleeping partner while the oppressed live this
nightmare; the same world that outrageously denounces the
‘barbarism’ of Iran and any Islamically-guided country. The
world is silent. Where are these defenders of human rights now?

The very latest July edition of Amnesty International's
newsletter lies on this editorial desk — not a single word about
the genocide in Lebanon! Is it a case of friends defending
friends? Where have all these ‘human rights’ organisations,
including the local mass media, gone to now that their friends are
butchering innocent human beings. They are sitting tight in their
places and applauding the acts of their criminal friends.

The reaction of the so-called Islamic states in the face of this
slaughter campaign is the same as always: a few statements
condemning the zionist action, a little hue and cry and then they
sit over the matter as if nothing has happened and thus gradually
legalise the acts of aggression by the zionists. A disgrace for the
governments and people of the Islamic-oriented countries in the
region. (Iran, though faced with its own problems, is the only
Islamic nation that has taken an active stand).

REORGANIZATION OF MINING LABOR SET-UP URGED

Johannesburg THE STAR in English 20 Jul 82 p 20

[Article by Tony Davis]

[text]

Now that the dust ap-
pears to have settled at
the gold mines which
were hit by unrest this
month, the mining
houses are trying to
uncover reasons for the
disturbances.

A number of factors
have already been ad-
vanced for the unrest,
ranging from wage
increases, bad commun-
ication, tribal dif-
ferences and jealousy
over miner status.

Only two mining
houses were affected by
the week-long unrest —
Gold Fields and Gen-
Tec.

Individual mine ma-
nagements are investi-
gating the unrest, ac-
cording to the mining
houses, although it is-
not yet known whether
or not any findings wi
be made public.

Unrest on South
African gold mines is
not a new phenomena.
This prompts the im.

But, of course, that

thousands of dismissals
and thousands of
miners reported to

their jobs.

‘Wage increases are
cited as a key issue in
the unrest — a

the figures are net

Communication is an-
other key issue. Mine
managements are sup-
posed to keep an ear to
the ground regarding
miners’ grievances.
Could these channels
have been plugged at
the mines which saw
unrest this month?
Tribalism during the

unrest appeared to
have manifested itself
as -a result of other
grievances as various
ethnic groups chose
sides.

The last period of
serious unrest on the
gold mines occurred
over several periods —
late 1973 to mid-1974
and late 1974 to early
1975.

y. Ome of ‘the causes

‘pay deferment”

KABWE RURAL FARMERS CALL FOR CHANGES IN AFC TO ACCOMMODATE NEEDS

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 29 Jul 82 p 1

[text]

CSO:

‘FARMERS in Kabwe Rural
have called for changes in
the Agricultural Finance Com-
pany to accommodate their
needs and aspirations.

They said in a signed state-_
ment released to the Times of
Zambia in Kabwe yesterday
that 90 per cent of the farmers
in Zambia had found it hard to
operate and honour their ob-
ligations to the AFC because
of unfavourable conditions im-
posed on them by the lending
institution.

Most of them failed to
honour their obligations be-
cause of late approval of AFC
loans, making it difficult for
them to prepare land in good
time.

“Poor planning and late
land preparation leads to
failure to repay loans to the
AFC because the company
gave loans in November or
December.””

They deplored the irregular
repayment of loans. ‘

A farmer needs insec-
ticides and control
weeds, so he goes to
AFC for the assistance
but he gets nothing.
So when they fail in
their work it is not
their fault at all,

4700/1678

153

The same applied to funds
for spare parts, diesel and
other inputs.

“Many of us have tractors
and caterpillars which are idle
because there is no money for
diesel.”

They deplored the behavi-
our of some AFC employees
whom they accused of wasting
time.

“We spend hours, some-
times two days in a week at
AFC offices trying to get
money for inputs and usually
our requests are never met.
Work on our farms suffers
and progress is retarded.

“Some AFC officials will
keep one waiting while they
read newspapers and drink
tea. We need tips to produce
good crops but no extension
service is provided.”

The farmers appealed to the
AFC to reconsider their
problems in repaying the loans
in the first year of farming
because any business needs a
grace period. Agriculture was
no exception.

“Farmers should be given
at least two years grace
period to allow them time to
generate funds and undertake
furthcr development without
recourse to fresh loans se-
quests every year. This will
give us a chance to plan
progressively.

IMPACT OF INFLATION ON BLACKS DISCUSSED

SOUTH AFRICA

Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 30 Jul 82 p 10

{Editorial]

[text]

CSO:

THE DOWNSWING in the econo-
my is almost certainly going to hit
the average black hard indeed. And,
with predictions that things will get
worse before they start getting bet-
ter, the prospect of thousands losing
their jobs has become real.

Economists have predicted that
the inflation rate will hit 17 percent
in the next month, and there have
also been predictions of large-scale
price increases. At the same time,
we have begun to feel the bite
through people being laid off from
various concerns that have begun
feeling the pinch.

With the already-high rate of un-
employment.among blacks, and
thousands more joining them be-
cause of lay-offs, we must ponder
the consequences. It is even more
necessary, since economists believe
we will come out of the downward
swing only by 1984.

‘Already, there have been several
cases of work stoppages over re-
trenchments. In most cases, it was a
matter of lack of understanding of
the problems that employers face,
| and this ignorance has been com-
| pounded by the fact that employers

| have not, during the good years,
| shown their employees the fruit of
the boom years. Who can blame'the
| workers, therefore, when they are
jtold of the “bad times” when they
have not had any “good times”?

This must serve as a lesson to em-
ployers. And, in the final analysis,
recognition of, and co-operation
with, trade unions is the best way of
getting through to workers.

Only by establishing themselves
as attempting, at all times, to give
their workers a fair deaf can they
gain the confidence of the unions
and, through them, the workers —
so, when the crunch does come, both
the unions and the workers will
accept it as inevitable and beyond
their employers’ control.

We should cleanse ourselves from our moral and spiritual
polluted state and start clothing ourselves in garments of piety.
This means that we should start involving ourselves actively in
Jihad and martyrdom. Jihad is that effort made to realise our
sacred ‘ideal. We would be profaning Islam if we refuse to
acknowledge this fact. It is all very well to proudly make the claim
that we sent the most Hajis out of South Africa this year but that
does not make us ‘the best Muslims’.

A Mujahid is one who engages in Jihad, like the Mujahideen of
Afghanistan, Lebanon and Iran. A Mujahid exercises complete
self-abnegation and self-sacrifice. When a Mujahid dies he
becomes a chosen friend of Allah. Allah has opened the door to
these chosen friends of His when they enter most deservedly into
Paradise. Our addressing ourselves actively to the problems we
are faced with in South Africa would automatically reserve for us
a place as one of Allah’s chosen friends.

We in South Africa must look at our lives in the context of the
80000 human beings with fractured hands and legs, battered
heads, bleeding with napalm and phosphorous burns, carrying
children on their shoulders, hungry and-thirsty, walking in the
wilderness continuing their miserable lives.

We in South Africa must look at ourselves in the context of the
brave Mujahideen of Afghanistan who are toiling under the yoke
of Soviet imperialism.

We in South Africa must look at ourselves in the context of our
suffering under this ungodly regime. The people of Lebanon and
Afghanistan are suffering yet they are actively striving and
sacrificing in the face of the assault on their human dignity.
Muslims in South Africa suffer the indignity of being reduced to
non-people yet we do not fight back. The moment the oppressed
people resolve to destroy the system of aggression and
oppression and actively engage the oppressors then they no
longer suffer because they have now resolved to sacrifice. Inany
struggle, sacrifice is a necessity. Sacrifice towards achieving
martyrdom is a fundamental principle of Istam.

To sacrifice does not mean to meekly and passively succumb
to and tolerate the atrocities that are perpertrated against us. To
sacrifice means to offer our time, energy, possessions and, most
important of all, our lives, in the active pursuit of our ideals. We
are told in the Holy Qur'an: .

‘And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, with sincerity and
under discipline ..."

(Qur'an 22:78)

A Muslim cannot remain silent in the face of all the atrocities
being committed in the world today. Silence is equal to being
implicated.

The celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr is with us again. May all those
who rejoice in the face of tragedy know that the day of reckoning
will come for them. The day when they will have to answer for
rejoicing while their fellow brothers and sisters were bathing ina
sea of blood.

Our Eid message is not a very pleasant one, but then we are not
living in very pleasant times. We do not have the right to be
pleasant if we have been failures and betrayed the principles we
claim to represent.

GUINEA-BISSAU

ENERGY SITUATION TO BE SOLVED BY SEPTEMBER
Bissau NO PINTCHA in Portuguese 10 Jul 82 p 3

[Text] A solution to the electricity problem which our capital has been facing
for 2 years may come in September.

This was revealed by Comrade Alberto Lima Gomes, minister of energy and indus-
try, upon his return from Switzerland. He had traveled there to open talks
with the firm BBC which had stopped work as a result of an altercation between
our government and that Swiss firm.

"The differences were ironed out during my 5-day stay in Switzerland," said
Tino Lima Gomes, who added that the firm will resume its work on 20 July. But
in order to have a regular and adequate supply of electricity we have to con-
tribute our part: the completion of the assembly of electric generators as well
as the overhauling of others. The minister of energy who was accompanied on
his trip by an official of the Planning Ministry--who gave his legal support

to the talks--made a stopover ‘in Lisbon, where he got in touch with the Portu-
guese cooperation cabinet that was willing to help us.

Meanwhile, specific topics will be approved during the session of the Portuguese-
Guinean Mixed Commission which will take place in October.

According to Comrade Anastasio Furtado, director general of energy, a group of
British technicians is in the country overhauling the generators which have
been inoperational for 2 years. Units 5 and 6 could start operations within
3 weeks, thus alleviating, to a certain extent, the situation in which we find
ourselves at this moment.

ISSUANCE OF RESIDENCY CARDS--The process of registration and issue of residency
cards in the ten first districts to be covered by this action in the country's
capital is coming along satisfactorily, an effort which the party has defined as
one of the immediate measures that will permit the control of the flow of migration
from the rural areas to the cities; this will also tell us who lives in each dis-
trict, in each house, and what his occupation is. Among other points, the resi-
dency card is intended to control the arrival of unemployed persons from the rural
areas in the cities, thus adding to the number of indigent persons who not infre-
quently make up gangs of attackers and criminals who disturb the working popula-
tion. This comes on top of the problem of food, clothing, housing, transportation,
schools, and hospitals--and all of these facilities are getting to be insufficient.
The FRELIMO Party realizes that the basic solution of this problem of migration to
the cities is based on socialization [nationalization] in the rural areas which will
bring the benefits that have already been obtained by the revolution to the communal
village and the cooperative. The flow of peasants to the city will be channeled to
the extent that nationalization in the rural areas releases manpower not needed in
the rural areas but needed in the current cities or in the new cities which this
process will create. [Excerpts] [Maputo NOTICISA in Portuguese 12 Jul 82 p 1] 5058

GDR QOOPERANTS' DEPARTURE--According to information from the national head-
quarters of the OJM [Organization of Mozambican Youth], 20 brigade members
of the FDJ (Free German Youth) will return to the GDR on Monday. They have
been working on the rice harvest at the Limpopo Agroindustrial Complex in
Chokwe. The youths, who have been working here for 3 months, maintained con-
tact with the OJM and also had recreational and cultural get-togethers. Dur-
ing their stay at the complex, the brigade members visited Chokwe, where they
learned about the social and economic situation in the district. [Text]

PORTUGUESE CLASSES FOR COOPERANTS--Fernando Ganhao, dean of Eduardo Mondlane
University, yesterday formally inaugurated the second Portuguese language
course for teachers, in the Faculty of Letters. Taking part in this course
are 10 teachers from the GDR, who arrived in our country day before yester-
day, accompanied by Genter Heidorn, vice minister of higher education of the
GDR. The teachers will attend classes in African literature, linguistic prob-
lems of Portuguese and the history and geography of Mozambique. According to
a source connected with the program, this course is the second to be con-
ducted in our country. Addressing the participants, the dean of the univer-
sity, who was accompanied by Gunter Heidorn, declared: "We welcome the par-
ticipants and wish them success in this course, which is aimed at strengthen-
ing the existing relations between the GDR and the People's Republic of
Mozambique." The GDR vice minister stressed the importance of the course,
affirming that it is an "opportunity for the teachers of [my] country to ac-
quire technical and scientific experience and to gain direct and personal
impressions of the existing relations between the GDR and the People's Repub-
lic of Mozambique." [Text] [Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 13 Jul 82 p 2]

Fist fights erupted and only the personal
intervention ‘of the university’s vice-
chancellor, Professor Du Plessis, pre-
vented a full-scale clash between the two
groups.

Unfortun:itely, although the Black Stu-
dents’ Society has denied any intention
of creating a “Muslim versus Jew” issue,
there has been a growing tendency
amonz some Muslims to side openly with
the PLO, to the point of making vicious
attacks on Zionists which border on
racial incitement.

We have particularly in mind a Cape Mus-
lim radical publication which has slated
the Israeli attack and the Zionists in the
most venomous terms.

It would be unfortunate if the Muslims
and the Jews of South Africa were to find
relationships between them so badly af-
fected that they lose the friendly regard
they have for each other.

Besides our own troubles, we do not need
to have the troubles of the Middle East

and of aggressive Muslim traditionalism
imported into South Africa.
The leaders of the two communities
should get together to find a way out of
the present state of inter-community
tension.
As for Wits, the authorities have acted
promptly by banning student meetings
and suspending 12 students for using in-
sulting language, provocative behaviour
and disobeying an‘ order of the Vice-
Chancellor.
We feel it is time Wits University students
learned some of the tolerance they pro-
fess to follow.
That tolerance, enshrined in the principles
of academic and various other freedoms,
should involve accepting the right of the
other man to hold views that differ from
your own.
‘Such matters can be handled in adult

fashion — in a student debate, for in-
| stance — without students resorting to
| demos and fisticuffs.

with serious difficulties like cyclones, the world-wide recession, and the
world's economic situation.

Still on the Labor Party's performance in the last elections, the former
minister of education stated that there are some people within the Labor
Party who blame the party's defeat on their colleagues. However, this
opinion is not widely held. SKJ spoke of the need for the Labor Party to
pull itself together and take up the struggle again, reorganizing and seeking
new inspiration. He said he felt the Labor Party has an important role to
play on the political chessboard in Mauritius because there is no opposition
in parliament. This is a unique phenomenon which some people tend to compare
to Singapore. In the latter country, however, the situation is different
because the regime's opponents have been jailed. Nevertheless, the political
situation in Mauritius requires great vigilance. The single party was
brought to power in the country through universal suffrage because those who
drafted our constitution did not envisage the possibility of one political
party winning all the seats in the legislature.

He also stated that the country will need foreign assistance; in this connec-
tion he said the government must avoid putting all its eggs in one basket,

as the secretary general of the Labor Party put it. We must be absolutely
neutral, like India. SKJ also expressed his appreciation, on behalf of the
Labor Party, for the gesture of the new prime minister, Aneerood Jugnauth,
toward his predecessor, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, who was granted an official
title, an official vehicle, and a personnel guard, SSR has become a "national
and historical institution" for the country, he said.

The president of the Labor Party, Mr James Burty David, said that starting
next week the party will do its utmost to learn the lesson to be draw from
the election results. The working parties to be established will help the
Labor Party with its political work, he said. He added that the Labor Party
does not intend to leave a political vacuum, like in 1969, and will therefore
remain permanently in the political arena. It has been decided that every-
thing will be done so that the Labor Party will "let the socialist Left join
its ranks."

In another context, Mr David said that the national alliance party ceased to
exist immediately after 12 June and that after the statements of Philippe
Blackburn, leader of the RPL [Rally for Progress and Liberty], and the new
positions adopted by Labor Party leaders, he does not consider himself bound
by any electoral agreement. The Labor Party, he said, will also watch over
the safeguarding of democratic freedoms. It will act through trade union
struggles, and wants to turn itself into a strong team to continue the
struggle. The will and the determination to struggle exist in our ranks, he
said. Our motto is: "The struggle continues."

MOZAMBIQUE

POOR ORGANIZATION OF VOLUNTARY LABOR REGRETTED
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 21 Jul 82 p 2
[Article by Boavida Funjua: "We Must Do a Good Job"]

[Text] Freezing in the severe cold that early Saturday morning, hundreds of
students from some secondary schools in the capital were patiently waiting for
the arrival of trucks which would take them to the district of Moamba to partici-
pate in the potato harvest.

Not many minutes passed before the trucks picked up the students who had gathered
at all of the schools (Polana, Francisco Manyanga, and Noroeste-2).

Before another 4 hours, you could hear them singing on Eduardo Mondiane Avenue.
This was an expression of acceptance of volunteer work which they were going to
do in Moamba upon the invitation of the OJM [Mozambique Youth Organization].

The first stop was at the OJM headquarters building to clear up questions dealing
with the organization and to give "advice" to the drivers.

"Drivers! You have to be careful and not exceed the speed limit of 40 kilometers
per hour. It is better for us to arrive at Moamba at 1500 rather than never,"
philosophized one of the OJM officials. The last group of brigades left precisely
at 0900. One interesting thing was to watch how the OJM organized a volunteer
effort with secondary schools and how it managed to mobilize 800 students. This
is the question I asked myself while we were still underway.

We arrived at the state farm of Moamba, Block 1, at 1300. It was lunch time. The
other brigade, which had arrived early, had just returned from the farm and was
already where we had been "unloaded."

“Lunch is ready; form a line; we do not want any disorganization here," one of the
people in the kitchen called out to us. I was near one of the groups of teachers
and students and I heard the first murmuring.

"There is no salt in this food," said one of the fellows. "It is badly cooked,"
added another.

But there was no other food. Some students, who had brought a snack from home,
were able to afford the luxury of skipping the food that was being served there.
Lunch took about an hour and a half. After that, five completely jammed trucks
left for the farm.

tionary power as a nor-

ity.

Referring to the Nat-
ional Party’s new policy
guidelines, he said the
Government’s future
planning _ for Whites
boiled down to the de-
verease of White power,
the reduction of White
authority and the inte-
gration of our White
Government.

Comforted

While the crowding
out of Whites in White’
living areas was increa:
ing, Whites were com-
forted with statements
like ‘don’t worry you are
still White.’

“It appears that noth-
ing now remained of
which Whites could say
‘It is still mine’ —

ineither schools, nor liv-
ling areas or business
‘areas,

“The Whites don’t

have their own cultural
feasts anymore, or
White organisations and
also no more Whites-
only sports teams, com-
petitions and leagues.
* “Everything outside
national states must ap-
parently become every-
man’s property,” Dr
Treurnicht said.

Memories

“Under the NP Gov-
ernment the Whites can
today only say there are
sad memories of the na-
tion and leaders that
were, and which have
normalised to

the Conserva-
tive Party standpoint is

csO: 4700/1673

“that one talks to the
wind if one talks about a
nation’s self-determina-

tion if such a nation can-
not execute It in a ge0-

graphical area.
“If everyone = —
Whites, Coloureds,

Asians, Blacks — have
equal rights to each inch
of land, consolidation of
the Black states. would
be absurd and a waste of
money,” he said.

Give

The Government's
policy would give the In-
dians just as much say
over the Free State as
Free Staters have them-
selves.

Statiscians were talk-
ing of another 18 to 20
Sowetos that have to be
established by the year

2000.
“Jf one wamis to con-
tinue talking about

White areas, those 20
Sowetos could simply
never be built in the
White heartlane .” .

Dr Treurnicht said
that Mr Botha’s policy of
healthy power sharing, 2
mixed Cabinet and a
mixed President’s
Council, Whites “would
be as safe in South Afri-
ca as a certain animal
was welcome in Jerusa-
lem.”.

Questioned

He questioned what
he called the so-called
unanimity of the Nat-
ional Party's federal
congress in Bloemfon-
tein on the NP’s new

licy guidelines.
PeiWe know there are
still many representa-
tives in Parliament who

1

have until recently re-
jected a mixed govern-
ment, one Parliament
and power sharing.”

“They were appar-
ently too lame to jump
when they had to jump”
he added.

“If they now accept a
principle ‘and policies
which they rejected ear-
lier, it is one of the most
‘shocking instances of
\brain-washing of the
leaders of the nation.”

I Quoted
| Dr Treurnicht quoted,
with permission, from a
‘letter written by the for-
mer Prime Minister and
State President, Mr
John Vorster, “saying
‘there would never be
Coloured or Indian Min-
listers in the White Cabi-
‘met.
Dr Treurnicht said Mr
‘Botha’s single Parlia-
ment with __ three
chambers was nothing
but a unitary system and
was nothing but the for-
{mer United Pary’s poli-
cy.

The Prime Minister
talks about “healthy
power sharing”, but
then plans a President’s
council with powers to
make binding recom-
mendations on _ the
President — a Presi-
dent’s Council which
was not even respon-
sible to the voting pub-
lic. “And the federal
council voted for it,” he
added.

The ridiculous thing
about this was that the
President's Council and
“not Parliament would

have the final say over
legislation.

Reduced

“In the process, the
White Parliament is to
be reduced to a chamber
which would only deal
with a small number of
so-called local matters
and won’t have a Prime
Minister, while its rep-
resentatives would also
be overwhelmed by an-
other body which was
not responsible to the
electorate.

“If the Whites of
South Africa accept this
new. policy of the NP
they would be reponsi-
ble for their own down-
fall.”

Dr Treurnicht warned
the Whites not to sign
their sovereignty away.

“If you sign your sov-
ereignity away by sup-
porting the new NP poli-
cy, you have already lost
your cause,” he said.

Nation

He called on the entire
nation not to “repeat the
failures of experiments
in Africa, Nigeria, Rho-

‘desia, South West Afri-
ea or Cyprus.”

For this reason the CP

| rejected the NP’s new
policy guidelines. He
said the Prime Minister
has “let the tiger loose
in the Afrikaner nation
and among the Whites
in general.”

“No language barrier
will now prevent Afrika-
ners and English-speak-
ing South Africans from
standing together
against the liberals,” he

stressed.

and later on in other cities and towns to guarantee the defense and peace of

members who work hard to guarantee the correct accomplishment..of their assign-
ments in their places of work and residence. For this purpose, about half of
the militia members in the city of Nampula will as of that day be discharged
because they have no other occupation. People's militia commands will shortly
be established on the level of residential districts and work places and the
network of people's militia units will be boosted and reorganized. [Text]

STUDENTS TO CUBA, GDR--Two groups of student, totaling 1,426 will go to the GDR and
Cuba next month. Some of these students are already in the capital after coming
from various provinces; they completed the 4th class during the academic year which
has just ended. According to information supplied by Joao Filimone Banze, of the
National Primary Education Service, out of the total number of students, 900 will
continue their studies in the GDR and the remaining 526 will go to Cuba. In those
countries, our fellow citizens will continue their studies up to a level equivalent
to the 8th class for a period of 4 years, after which they will attend vocational
training courses, "The duration of training courseswill depend on each special
field, based on a program to be worked out by the National Planning Commission. I
can say right now that the initially planned duration is between 2 and 3 years,"
our reporter was informed by Joao Banze. "The students who are already in Maputo
come from the provinces of Norte and Centro; now we only need those from Maputo,
Gaza, and Inhambane," we were told by that same source who added that he had "no
information on the reasons for the delay on the part of the organizers of the pre-
liminary assembly center for these 3 provinces whose headquarters is located in
Inhambane." Although the students who are not in Maputo took physical exams in
their home provinces, they will go through another general medical checkup, accord-
ing to information collected by our reporter. Mozambique is maintaining relation-
ships of close cooperation with both countries and Mozambican workers and students
are also in Cuba and the GDR to specialize in various fields. [Text] [Maputo

NAMPULA ELECTRICITY SUPPLY--The supply of electric energy to the city of Nampula
has been temporarily taken care of, as our reporter was informed by engineer
Caseiro Rocha, the director of electricity production services of Mozambique.
"Correct maintenance and repairs of equipment, for which we need spare parts and
skilled manpower, would imply cutoffs or cutbacks for some days in our production
units. This is why we never had a chance to turn the machines off for maintenance,"
we were told by that official. "Right now, the situation is rather good. We
transferred one of our mechanics from Pemba and we are operating with a power of
4,000 kw," we were told by engineer Caseiro Rocha who added that "the problem has
been solved but damage might arise at any moment since we do not have enough per-
sonnel to guarantee the full operation of the machines. However, the effort made
by the few workers we have is certainly praiseworthy," he noted. [Text] [Maputo

Commenting generally, Mr Ellis said that
the industry was fairly close to resolving the
question of multi-product mines.

He added that there were no fundamental
problems involved and that it was merely a
question of ensuring that Escom does not end
up any worse, and possibly a little better off
Hnancially, as a result.

A new mine takes about three years to
bring into production, and, to meet phase four
of the export programme, any new mine
would have to come on stream by 1986.

‘This means that decisions on new mines
will have to be made within the next 12 to 18
months, with work starting in 1983, he says.

In cases where production is to come from
the expansion of an existing mine, this could
be achieved in about two years, but sophisti-
cated plant would still be needed and, in the
case of a strip mine, work would have to start
well in advance on the manufacture of the
drag lines, according to Mr Ellis.

Looking specifically at Trans-Natal, Mr
Ellis estimates that about 50% of the alloca-
tion would come from new mines and would
probably all come from underground mining

rations. ° .

‘While there was scope for longwalling, this
was not as t as thought a few years ago.

‘As a result, a closer look will be taken at
pillar extraction, which allows for total
extraction.

Referring to Clydesdale, Mr Ellis said that
the allocation was based on the Matla Col-
liery and that it would involve the expansion
of the mine into a multi-product operation.



A Bad Night

After hard work in Blocks 1 and 3, the young people returned. The joy which had
always characterized them disappeared and instead they all wanted to go back home.
Questions came from everywhere. The OJM officials assigned to organizing this

effort had difficulty in reorganizing the 900 persons who completely filled Block 1.
Then night fell.

"We want to sleep! We want to sleep!" insisted the students.

"There is no problem because we have room for everybody," promised one of the block
officials.

The designated place was a fertilizer and potato warehouse, containing the crops
which the students themselves had collected.

In view of the intense cold, all the youngsters could do was to huddle in the ware-
house. While some slept on top of each other, others started a fire to dry out.
Some who did not manage to resist the fleas and rats had to leave the warehouse and
freeze outside. Then came Sunday morning. Again, after the youngsters had been
given tea, plus a slice of bread, they left to go to the farm. They slept badly
during the night and that had its effects especially on the output during the
potato harvest. And there was one little detail: Some of the students had simply
taken off Sunday morning to return to Maputo. The entire effort was threatened by
disorganization and this was personally admitted by the volunteer work official in
charge from the OJM in talking to some students and teachers. I talked to teachers,
students, and members of the People's Forces who criticized the way in which the
day was organized.

"In the future we will be more cautious. Our students are a little bit demoralized,"
said one of the teachers.

Among the few who were still continuing their work, one could hear talk to the
effect that there was no prior briefing before they started out on the job, that
they should have been told quite honestly what kind of working conditions these
youngsters were going to run into. This initiative was not properly utilized in
‘its entirety. But on the other hand, it did damage to the Moamba production unit
since the potatoes were not properly harvested; this meant that the workers at that
enterprise would have to work even harder. Besides, the organizers of this effort
were unable to mobilize the students so that they would accept the next invitation.

"Tf the OJM wants to get the students to do this kind of work, we will not refuse;
on the contrary, we will encourage our students to promote this link between the
schools and the community. But the OJM must review the question of organization
for a work effort of this magnitude," said a teacher.

OPPOSITION TO CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM GROWS

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 5 Aug 82 p 6

lEditorial]

[Text]

THE ¢RIM=E MINISTER’s plan for consti-
tutional reform is running into predict-
able opposition from non-Nationalists.

The Progressive Federal Party, which is
the Official Opposition, adopted a cau-
tious attitude towards the President’s
Council’s recommendations, waiting for
the Government to formulate its respon-
Se.

Even when the Prime Minister came out
with his plan at the National Party’s Fed-
eral Congress, the PFP was not strongly
critical.

One can appreciate the reasons for this.
The PFP was the front-runner for re-
form. It was the party of power sharing.
The Government adopted healthy power
sharing as its slogan, cutting some of the
ground from under the PFP’s feet.

Also, while the PFP talks reform, it is only
the Government which has the power to
introduce it.

Therefore, in terms of practical politics,
the PFP must encourage reform even if
the changes do not measure up to the
ideals which the PFP espouses.

The problem, then, for the PFP was how to
handle the Government's plan. If it was
too negative, it would be accused of being
a party that spoke reform yet rejected
any semblance of it.

However, if it accepted the plan as a first
step towards greater reform, it would be
accused by Blacks of abandoning its in-
sistence on Blacks being included.

72

Quite a dilemma, especially as the power-
ful financial backers of the PFP are keen
on the Prime Minister getting support
for any action that will signal the end of
doctrinaire apartheid and the start of a
new dispensation.

But the PFP could not sit on the fence for
ever.

Mr Colin Eglin, PFP spokesman on consti-
tutional affairs, set the ball rolling by
saying that the new deal was so blatantly
rigged to maintain National Party su-
premacy that it could not possibly pro-
vide a basis for peaceful coexistence in
South Africa.

Then the leader of the party aiid of the
Opposition, Dr Van Zyl! Slabbert, said the
deal was not good enough, the plan
raised more questions than it answered,
and though it was impossible to adopt a
final position due to lack of detail, his.
reaction at this stage was “We oppose.”

He also made the point, predictably, that
the most “self-evident and fatal” short-
coming was the exclusion of Blacks.

In terms of Nationalist politics, the inclu-
sion of Coloureds and Indians in a mixed
Cabinet and Parliament of three
chambers, with the mixed President’s
Council the final arbiter of contested
legislation, is a remarkable and trauma-
tic change.

How he could expect the Prime Minister to
include Blacks at this stage, if at all, is
beyond us.

SA COMPANIES EMPHASIZE PROFIT MAXIMIZATION

generally far more con-
cerned with the development
of their people, with social
responsibility and with their

It is not so much that more
than 90% of SA companies
still emphasise profit maxi-
misation as easily their most
important primary goal. US
companies are also highly
concerned with profits or
earnings prowth. .

The difference lies in the
relatively low priority given

SA companies to social
and people-related goals

compared with their US
counterparts.

cso: 4700/1675

COMPANIES listed on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange display a “totally different” ranking of
primary objectives to that of US companies.

This is revealed by the results of a comprehensive
survey of virtually all JSE-listed companies by two
Cape academics: Johan Bosch of the department of
business economics at the University of Port Eliza-
beth, and Alwyn du Plessis, deputy director of human-
ities at the PE Technikon.

A report on the survey was made available this week in
“The South African Journal of Business Management”.

In a nutshell, the survey shows that US companies are

and solvency, and maximisa-
tion of earnings per share;
and growth, as primary

objectives.

Primary “other” goals
include:
@ To establish a sound base
in (our) industry from which
the group can grow.

@ Specified minimum return
ea holders’ funds, an
tisk tind return.

@ A real growth in dividends
at leagt equal to the growth in
GNP for the sector.
© Achievement of a speci-
‘ed gearing ratio — and to
remain independent.

@ Lowest cost competitor;

market dominance.

@ Growth by merger and ad-

dition to product range.

@To improve range and

profitability of products.
“Other” goals regarded

only as secondary included:

@ Retention of staff via com-

pensation, motivation, con-

tinuing education and attrac-

tive environment.

@ To attract and retain top-

class management.

@ To maintain continued ad-

123

vancement and education of
staff to build stability.
To promote the future se-
ity of all employees.
Sound labour relations.
Fair dealings with custom-
ers, suppliers and consumers.
‘Comparing the SA survey
with the US (Edmonds and
Hands) survey, the ratings
given by the American re-
spondents included as prima-
ry objectives:
@ Maximising the market

SA and US figures is perhaps
best illustrated by the fact
that only 165% of SA cot
anies saw social reponsil i-
as a primary goal com-
red with ‘almost 80% of the

This system not only prevents the Whites
from losing control, but enables the Gov-
ernment to prevent the Progressive Fed-
eral Party linking up with the Coloureds
and Indians to outvote it.

However, since there is a form of power
sharing, with a mixed Cabinet and a
mixed President’s Council which has the
final decision on contested legislation,
the Conservative Party and the Herstigte
Nasionale Party will not accept the new
dispensation, seeing in it the thin end of
the wedge of integration.

The Progressive Federal Party will have to
consider whether what is being done for
Coloureds and Indians is a fair enough
start towards a set-up involving, at a lat-
er stage, the Blacks as well.

So far, comment from PFP leaders does
not suggest this party will be satisfied.

The Blacks are still tied to their home-
lands, with the only concession to them
being local rule in White urban areas.

We are not quite sure where the New Re-
public Party stands these days, but the
threat to’ adapt the provincial system
eventually, with some of its powers being
taken over by local authorities, metro-
politan and rural regional councils, or by
the respective chambers of the new Par-
liament, may make the NRP hesitant
about going along with the new system.

This is particularly so as it controls Natal.

We believe that when the Government has
completed its plan in the fullest detail, it
should present it to the country in refer-
endums for each section.

This is especially necessary in the case of
the Whites, who are asked to agree to
what will be far-reaching and traumatic
changes.



M's Plan Lets PFP IN--Obie

THE Jonannesburg Management Committee was
relieved to hear that the Government did not ac-
cept the President’s Council recommendation on
joint services committees, said Mr Francois “Obie”
Oberholzer, chairman on the Committee.

“We are immensely pleased that the Government
didn’t accept proposals in this regard,” he said yes-
terday.

He said, however, that the Management Com-
mittee objected “very strongly” to Indian and
Coloured representation in the Johannesburg City

uncil.”

Mr Botha said on Friday night various popula-
tion groups should have, as “an urgent interim
measure”, representation through their council

Guidelines Similar to '77

THE Leader of the Of-
ficial Opposition, Dr
Van Zyl Slabbert, says
there is nothing essen-
tially new about the

Government's an-
nounced policy guide-
lines.

The basic guidelines,
announced by Mr P W
Botha at his party’s fed-
eral congress in Bloem-
fontein, were the same
as the 1977 proposals,
although they included
some variations, he
said.

He said there were
two fatal flaws in the
guidelines. They were
the exclusion of Blacks
from the new dispensa-
tion and the Govern-
ment’s attempt at the
same time to sell it to
other Non-Whites.

Referring to the va-
Tiations on the recom-
mendations of the
President’s Council, he

chairmen with full voting rights on the White local
authority concerned, or on the White Management
Committee, until a. separate local authority for
each group had been established.

Mr Oberholzer said the Management Committee
could not accept that, as it would mean, in effect,
that the Progressive Federal Party would take
over the City Council.

He said that there was otherwise not much dif-
ference of opinion between the Management Com-
mittee and Mr Botha.

“The President’s Council’s proposals are not ac-
ceptable to us and they don’t seem acceptable to
Mr Botha either,” he said.

‘said the modifications
proved how irrelevant
the Government consid-
ered the President's
Council to be.

The Progressive Fed-
eral Party would con-
sider the National Par:

’s proposals e
near future. Dr Slab-
bert said the proposals
at least included a will”

ness On rnmen'
side to consult with the
troups it envisages to
co-operate with.

Dr Slabbert said it
appeared that the pro-
posals still included the
entrenchment of White
minority rule. If not, he
would like to see how
the envisaged Coloured
Chamber of Parliament
should go about getting
the Group Areas Act
scrapped.



RECOVERY OF RAND EXPECTED IN 1983

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 4 Aug 82 p 3

[Text]

ON balance of pay-
ments considerations,
the weighted value of
the rand will probably
‘remain under down-
ward pressure for the
time being, but a sus-
tained cyclical recovery
is likely towards the
second quarter of next
year, Senbank says in
its latest Economic
Opinion.

Analysing the vari-
ous forces that have a
bearing on the value of
the currency, Senbank
is of the opinion that
the high inflation rate
will also depress the ex-
change rate initially
and that this factor will
restrict the rate at
which the weighted va-
lue rises when the bal-
ance of payments im-
g Proves.

The bank believes the
pus dollar reached a cyc-
lical peak on world cur-
rency markets last
month and that the
rand will end its depre-
ciation against the dol-
lar’ during the second
half of the year.

Senbank says there

csO: 4700/1673

are basically three vari-
ables affecting the va-
lue of the rand: the bal-
ance of payments,
inflation differentials
an terest rate differ-
entials.

The exchange rate of
‘the rand, however, is
not exposed to the same

extent to changes in
sthose variables as most
other overseas curen-
cies are.

The factor primarily
affecting the value of
the rand is the balance
of payments, while in-
terest rate differentials
and inflation differen-
tials play a smaller role.

As far as the balance
of payments is con-
cerned Senbank feels
that the current ac-
count deficit next year
could narrow to about
Ri 200-million, com-
pared ‘with an expected

+ deficit of R4 800-million

for the current year.

On balance of pay-
ments considerations
alone, the rand there-
fore should start to
show a sustained appre-

121

ciation on a weighted
basis towards the sec-
ond quarter of 1983.

As far as inflation
differentials are con-
cerned they are still
widening between SA
and its main trading
partners.

Senbank says that al-
though the South Afri-
can inflation rate is ex-
pected to ease during
the second half of this
year, the likely im-
' provements are not en-
couraging, with the re-
sult that the dif
ferential between our
inflation rate and that
“of our overseas part-
ners will therefore re-
main high during the
foreseeable future.

On this score, the va-
lue of the rand will
probably —_ experience
downward pressure for
some time to come.

As far as interest
rate differentials are
sconcerned,  Senbank
points out that the
fSouth African foreign
exchange market is

SOUTH AFRICA

subject to control regu-
lations, implying that
international capital
flows to and from the
country are not deter-
mined solely by market
forces.

The result is that in-
terest rate differentials
don’t have the same im-
pact as they do in for-
eign exchange markets
of major industrialised
countries.

Senbank believes the
manipulation of. imter=
est rates by the South
{African Reserve Bank
to regulate the inflow
and. outflow of capital
has only limited scope.

It says these induced
capital flows could
hamper the interest
rate adjustments re-
quired in the domestic
seconomy. = -

Capital flows should
primarily be induced via
interest rate differen-
tials themselves, and
not via manipulation of
forward market quota-
tions, the bank says.



ZAIRE

CALLS FOR VIGILANCE, RESUMPTION OF TIES WITH ISRAEL JUSTIFIED
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 28 May 82 pp 1, 5

[Text] The MPR Executive Committee is urging Zairian citizens to increase
their vigilance to foil any attempt which could undermine the painfully

acquired peace, the security of the people and their property and the stability

of our institutions established under the leadership of our guide, Mobutu
Sese Seko, president and founder of the MPR.

This call was issued by the Executive Committee during an emergency meeting
held on Wednesday at the headquarters of this party organization and chaired
by Citizen Tshibwabwa, deputy executive secretary of the MPR.

Citizen Ekila Liyonda, who is secretary general for women's affairs and the
spokeswoman of the Executive Committee, explained that the participants in
the meeting had examined the political situation in the country as a result
of the decision reached by the Central Committee Bureau on 14 May this year
to restore diplomatic relations with Israel and in view of the violent
reaction of some Arab countries to this decision which is in keeping with
the unquestionable soverignty of our country.

She added that the MPR Executive Committee has drawn all possible conclusions
from that situation, especially in view of the enticements to popular
uprising which keep on coming from some Arab countries and their criminal
threats against the courageous Zairian people and their gallant leader.

That is why the Executive Committee is calling on the historic awareness of
the men and women activists of our mass rallying national party, Citizen
Ekila explained.

The spokeswoman pointed out that, once more, "Zaire which wishes to be free,
sovereign and independent in the struggle to defend its interests and its
African destiny, is being threatened by those who want to spread uncertainty
and discord in our ranks with their wild statements."

Citizen Ekila asked the people to remember with what enthusiasm and
revolutionary fervor the Zairian nation had greeted the sovereign decision,
announced by the president and founder of the MPR on 4 October 1973 from the
forum of the United Nations, of breaking off relations with Israel in the
name of Zaire's devotion to Africa.

NYERERE'S STATE VISIT 'OPPORTUNITY' TO THRASH OUT PROBLEMS

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 29 Jul 82 pp 1

[Editorial]

[text]

PRESIDENTS _ Julius
Nyerere of Tanzania
and Kenneth Kaunda of
Zambia are quite a rare
breed of people with a
lot in common.

Not only do they have
great minds which think
alike, but they are also

reat friends, great
leaders of their people
and, above all, great il-
lustrous statesmen of
free Africa.

‘From their close-knit per-

sonal relationship has
developed the friend-
ship and cooperation
that now exists between
Tanzania and Zambia
and the ruling parties of
the two countries.
High on the list of that
Outstanding friendship
are projects like Zam-
Tan and the Great
North Road; the oil
pipeline from Dar es
alaam to Ndola and,
most of all, the monu-
mental Tazara.
These illustrate in their
own way the bonds of
friendship between Tan-
zania and Zambia. In
many respects the two
countries often share a
common stand and a
common goal both at
home and abroad.

149

Because of that they seem-

ingly behave like twins.

at Zambia does Tan-
zania follows suit and
vice-versa. The two na-
tions, their presidents
and peoples tend to take
each other for granted.

That is why it is a bit of a
joke that it is only now
that Mwalimu Nyerere
is paying a State visit to
Zambia.

He has been in and out of
Zambia on numerous
occasions before. Presi-
dent Kaunda too has
been in and out of Tan-
zania on countless times
in the past that he could
very well drive alone
freely in the streets of
Dares Salaam,

But like all real friends
who take each other for
granted a stamp of seri-
ousness ought to be im-
printed on their friend-
ship. Hence the current
State visit to Zambia by
Mwalimu Nyerere.

Relations between peoples
and countries have their

- “highs’’ and their
“lows”’, otherwise they
would be based on dis-
honesty. . .

Although Tanzania and
Zambia have always en-
joyed the most cordial

ONE-PARTY STATE CIAIM--The new constitutional plan announced by the Prime
Minister, Mr P.W. Botha, on Friday night amounted to a one-party State,

said Mrs Helen Suzman, Progressive Federal Party MP. "It is certain that
the ruling National Party will now stay in power," she said, The Govern-
ment's new plan was "a deliberate attempt to exclude the official Opposition
which was duly elected by the people of South Africa." "And the exclusion
of Blacks from the new political dispensation doomed the President Council's

What about the appointment to the council of Mr Hennie Smit, Minister of
Posts and Telecommunications? What is his claim to fame? Is he not the
epitome of a failed politician?

On the President's Council there is seemingly genuine pleasure having someone
au courant with the views of the cabinet in their midst. To them he is

very much a politician on the ascent, a link with the source of power and,
they claim, really a rather competent and sensitive fellow when you get to
know him,

That the Government apparently has made significant changes to the incomplete
constitutional proposals and appears in negotiations with coloured and Asian
leaders to be highhandedly filling in important gaps left in the initial two
constitutional reports is seen as the Government's sovereign right.

The President's Council, its members point out, only makes recommendations
and the Government is free to accept or reject or amend whatever it pleases,
So far, they say, it has carefully "checked out" with the council what it is
secretly negotiating with coloured and Asian leaders.

And in the future, whatever constitutional "guidelines" are finally arrived
at will require much refinement, research and further recommendation by the
Constitutional Committee and other committees,

Constitutions, they say, are not static. They are "dynamic," they need to
be adapted as problems are encountered, And they do not operate in a vacuum,
A myriad social, economic and scientific matters impinge on them, all of
which require much study.

Furthermore, members argue, there needs to be some central "think scrum"
which can cooordinate all the immensely complex, ever-changing details of
the South African way of life. That is why the President's Council
recommended a continuing role for itself in a future constitutional arrange-
ment.

And yet, according to International Aviation statistics, the Soviet Ilyushin

When, however, a plane nose-dives and crashes soon after taking off, it is
such a different affair from when it crashes on its way to land that only a
clear~picture explanation can remove the taboo of the Ilyushin from the
eyes and minds of the Sierra Leonan public.

GDR TRAINS PROFESSORS--A cooperation agreement, primarily calling for the training
of instructors for the UEM [Eduardo Mondlane University], was signed on Saturday
in Maputo by GDR Vice Minister of Higher Education Genter [Guenter] Heidorn and
by Eduardo Mondlane University president Fernando Ganhao. In coversations between
the education delegations of the two countries, reference was made to the need for
exchanging experiences between students of both countries. Representatives of the
UEM will also go to that socialist country for the purpose of expanding contacts
with the various universities in the GDR, as was noted during the conversations.
Questions pertaining to German-language classes for Mozambican students before
they start their courses, both in the GDR and in Mozambique, and the forwarding
of information on the performance of Mozambican University students in the GDR
were also taken up during the conversations. [Text] [Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese

supplied with energy produced by alternate power plants." As we were informed
yesterday, workers from EM, SHER [Revue River Hydroelectric Power Company], and
other government agencies began work on the fastest possible repair of the sabotaged
stations so as to restore the situation to normal. On the other hand, and as we
reported in our edition yesterday, electric power cutbacks in the city of Beira

are still in force and users must be extremely economical in the consumption of

TRIAL EVIDENCE LINKS ANC TO SACTU

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 4 Aug 82 p 8

[Article by Jill de Villiers]

[text]

THERE were close
links between the
banned African Nat-
ional Congress and
the South ‘African
Congress of Trades
Unions, a State Wit-
ness told a Johannes-
burg magistrate yes-
terday.

Major Craig William-
son, a member of the
Security Police, testi-
fied he had worked as a

_member in the ranks of
“the ANC for five years.
He said the National

iberation Movement
(NLM) worked under
‘the leadership of the
‘ANC.

The object of the
NLM was to overthrow
the Government and to
totally remove the cur-
rent political, social and
economical structure of
the State.

He said Sactu concen-

cso: 4700/1673

trated particularly on
the Black working class
,and although he had
{mot been a member of
Sactu, he was often or-
dered by the ANC to
assist Sactu in various
projects such as the
gathering of informa-
tion and funds.

The accused in this
Terrorism Act trial, Mr
Alan Morris Fine, of
Bellevue, Johannes-
burg, admitted to the
court on Monday he
had sent information
on labour matters to
Sactu, but denied that
Sactu had aimed to or-
ganise workers to play
a militant role in the
revolution.

Maj Williamson said
a Mr Marius Schoon
and Mrs Jeanette (Cur-
tis) Schoon had been
responsible for a Sactu
operation involved in
an ANC project — “In-
ternal reconstruction

95

and development” —
which was designed to
build up structures in
South Africa as a part
of the ANC-led revol-
utionary assault.

Maj Williamson was a
member of the Security
Police when he enrolled
as a student at Wit-
watersrand University.
Soon he was elected
vice-president of Nusas
and went to London in,
that capacity. In Lon-
don he was approached
, by the ANC and he join-
“ed them as a member.

He told the court that
yearly in 1979 he had
travelled in the same
‘plane as Mrs Schoon
from Lusaka to Gabo-
‘rone and witnessed how
she had been cleared
through customs at Lu-
saka with the. assist-

We call upon those in authority to see that this despicable behaviour is
stamped out immediately and those responsible punished. If this is not
done, it will sow doubts in the minds of Wananchi who had gained confidence
in, and respect for, the forces for rapidly restoring law and order and
demonstrating their loyalty to the constitution and head of state.

The public should be given no grounds to suspect that any of the recovered
property passes into the hands of a few unscrupulous policemen who may be
tempted to appropriate some of it for themselves. The justification for
mounting the exercise was that what was looted should be recovered and
restored to its rightful owners.

To obviate such suspicions we suggest that a multidisciplinary force made
up of members of the army, the police and the administration police be
set up to oversee the recovery, storage, and eventual disposal of the
property.

We must, at all costs, avoid any scandal that might arise as a result
of any of these goods getting into the hands of those charged with
recovering them.

PC MEMBERS CONSIDER ROLE ‘INDISPENSABLE!
Johannesburg THE STAR in English 23 Jul 82 p 16
[Article by Hugh Roberton]

[text] There is no shortage of optimism and enthusiasm on the President's
Council, And there is no shortage of self-deception either. The removal
of the constitutional committee chairman Dr Denis Worrall, the widely
acknowledged interference by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr Chris
Heunis, the Government's cavalier treatment of the council's past recom-
mendations, the fact that the constitutional proposals--though far from
complete--are already the subject of secret bartering between the Govern-
ment and coloured and Asian leaders, has left members of the council
apparently unmoved,

They are imbued with the conviction that their role is indispensable and
that its future is assured; that the "teething problems" they have
encountered were only to be expected by a body so unique and untried that
burgeoning criticism of the council and its proposals are actually a
healthy reflection of public interest or at worst, the mlevolent stirrings
of the opposition Press.

Dr Worrall's differences with Mr Heunis are conceded, even by Dr Worrall
himself, though he was quick to label them as having been "very unimportant."

They are said to have stemmed from the inherent clash of interests between
an impatient politician anxious for proposals simple enough to be put to
party congresses and an academic devoted to detail, precision and exhaustive
research,

The fact that Dr Worrall lost the battle and has been sent into what some
coloured leaders regard as a form of political banishment is seen very
differently on the council, His basic job was complete, it is argued, and
his ambassadorial posting in Australia was a well-deserved honour.

Some ambassadors have returned to Cabinet posts, councillors point out,

insisting that Dr Worrall's removal was neither a reflection on him nor on
the status of the council,

AUSTRALIAN MPS' GOODWILL VISIT--A seven-man Australian parliamentary
delegation arrived in Lusaka yesterday for a two-day visit aimed at promoting
goodwill between the two friendly Commonwealth countries, The delegation

is being led by Senator Harold Young who is president of the senate, the
upper house of the Australian parliament, four of the members are being
accompanied by their wives. The delegation is touring a number of other
African countries apart from Zambia for the same purpose. The group is
expected to call on President Kaunda, Home Affairs Minister who is acting
Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr Frederick Chomba and Speaker of the National
Assembly Mr Robinson Nabulyato, It last visited Zambia in 1979 and since
then there have been significant developments in the bilateral links between
Zambia and Australia including the visit to Zambia by that country's prime
minister Malcom Fraser when he attended the Commonwealth conference which
led to Zimbabwe's independence and establishment of a resident Australian
high commission, Other bilateral relations between the two countries were
the signing of development agreements and President Kaunda's state visit to
Australia where he attended the Commonwealth summit in Melbourne last year.
Zambia has announced its intention to open a diplomatic mission in Canberra.

MEALIE MEAL, STOCKFEED PRICE INCREASES--The prices of mealie meal and stock-
feed are to be increased soon, an Indeco spokesman announced yesterday.

The price increases were unavoidable because of increased producer prices
paid to peasant and commercial farmers for this year's crop. "We hope the
consumers will appreciate that Indeco Milling, National Milling Company and
the Choma Milling Company have no option if they are to continue providing
essential commodities to the farmers, especially in the present economic
climate where Government subsidies are out of question." Last week the
Minister of Agriculture and Water Development Mr Unia Mwila confirmed
receiving a request from the Zambia Cooperative Federation (ZCF) to increase
the price of mize sold to millers at more than the current price of K13.50
per bag. Managing director of the ZCF Mr Muliyunda Mukumbuta has warned
that unless cooperative unions were allowed to sell maize to millers at
more than the present price, there would be deterioration in the services
the organisation was providing. And the Lusaka Province Cooperative Union
has been stockpiling this year's harvest in anticipation of an early Govern-
ment decision to allow cooperatives to sell the maize at an economic price.

done little to promote
the strength and cred-

and diplomacy.”

Criticising Ministers
who played to the gal-

thought they wanted to

“It is also distortion of
the worst sort to try to
blame their iodiscre-

Manufacturers Must Absorb Extra Costs

Price controls on most

track. It has become clear that
blacks do not want “bantu educa-
tion”, and just the removal of this
will at least be seen to be a
movement away from discrimina-
tory practices.

A much greater effort should also
be made to woo back those highly
qualified black teachers who have
left the profession to get into indus-
try, where they believe they are rea-
sonably rewarded for their efforts.

Until that is done, we will conti-
nue producing “matrics” at black
schools who are often seen as being
inferior — all because they have

been fed inferior education. We are
sure that, if the Government asked
around in industry, they would find
that this type of inferior education
was making their operations more
and more difficult — particularly in,
the light of the shortage of skilled
manpower.

It would do this country a lot bet-
ter to accept the recommendations
for a single education system for all.
Only through that can black educa-
tion be lifted out of its present low —
but we wonder whether there is any-
body bold enough to even suggest
this in the Government.

‘he underground Central
mine will supply coal for
2300MW of the colliery’s
commitment to Escom’s
3600MW Tutuka power sta-
tion in the Eastern Transvaal
south of Secunda.

Estimated cost of the pro-
ject in December 1981 money
is R389-million.

Coal production is project-
ed to start in the first half of
the year ending March 1984,
four to six months ahead of
the programme.

The first of two ventilation
shafts reached the coal seam
in December 1981, and the
vertical service shaft and the
inclined coal hauling shafts
also recently hit coal.

‘The equipping of the shafts
with the main ventilation
fans, the main and service
elevators and the coal-haul-
ing conveyor belts is to be
completed in the first half of
1983. | . :

‘Amcoal says the colliery
will exploit opencast and un-

Aerground mineable reserves
west and south of the Corne-

Estimated capital cost of
the colliery, in December
1981 money, is R414-million.

About half of the coal will
be produced by underground
mining and the rest by open-

4700/1675

cast methods.

Amncoal comments: “The
decision by Escom to burn
tow erate coal in this station

:and employment of opencast
mining methods will enable
Soptimum utilisation of the
"eolliery’s reserves to be
achieved.”

The first generating set at
Station “E” is planned to be
commissioned in September
1989, with the remaining five
sets following at yearly
intervals.

Coal production is planned
to start in late 1988 and full
output of about 15-million
sales tons a year is expected
to be reached in 1995 after
the sixth generating set at
the stafton is commissioned.

by the projected commission-
-ing date of the station in 1993
the mine’s annual output will
have reached 12-million tons.

up to 110m in places, dictates
that underground mining is
to be employed, «

be developed by TCL and an-

nounced only two months
ago. this colliery is located in
the South-Eastern Transvaal
between Amersfoort and

NAMIBIA

UN TROOPS EXPECTED IN WINDHOEK IN 2 WEEKS
AB091459 Paris AFP in English 1443 GMT 9 Aug 82

[Text] Johannesburg, Aug 9 (AFP)--An advance detachment of United Nations
troops is expected in Windhoek in about two weeks to prepare for the
arrival of a U.N. peacekeeping force in Namibia, the newspaper DIE
REPUBLIKEIN reported today in the Namibian capital.

The main 7,500-man U.N. force will monitor the ceasefire expected to be
signed at the end of next week between the nationalist South West Africa
People's Organisation and South Africa. The U.N. force would also
supervise next year's general elections in Namibia.

Diplomatic sources in Pretoria said the United Nations was seeking
applications for 1,500 civilian jobs including doctors, nurses and drivers
who would be sent to Namibia during the transitional period following

the ceasefire.

Western diplomatic sources said office space was being rented and 1,000
local employees were being hired in preparation for an agreement between
all sides negotiating Namibian independence from South Africa.

"The United Nations do not want to be caught unprepared in case of a settle-
ment, which is why it is preparing as if an agreement was reached in the
next few weeks," one Western expert said.

But the sources noted that despite the signs that agreement is close,
details such as the departure of Cuban troops stationed in Angola must
be settled. South Africa has refused to sign an agreement without
guarantees that Cuban forces will leave Angola.

The source also said the five-nation contact group--the United States,
Canada, Britain, France and West Germany--involved in negotiations was
"still waiting for some replies wihch have been slow to arrive."

Pretoria today categorically denied a statement by SWAPO leader Sam Nujoma
in Tripoli that the South African army was preparing to invade Angola
by massing troops near the border.

"It is well known that this terrorist leader Sam Nujoma does not even
know what is going on among his own terrorist gangs and it is therefore
amazing that he pleads knowledge of South African troop movements," an
army spokesman said.

SOUTH AFRICA

UNDEMOCRATIC ASPECTS OF CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS SCORED

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 2 Aug 82 p 6

[Editorial]

[text]

SO NOW we know. We are going to have
the most sweeping constitutional re-
forms in the country’s history.

Out goes the Westminster-style system of
government. There will, it is true, still be
a Parliament, with a chamber each for
Whites, Coloureds and Indians. But the
objective will be to achieve consensus via
committees instead of having the normal
hurly burly of conflict politics,

The exclusion of the Opposition parties
from participation in such key matters as
the election of the executive President
and the elected members of the Presi-
dent’s Council virtually means that the
wishes of Opposition voters, through
their elected Members of Parliament,
will be of little consequence.

And since the combined White Opposition
may outnumber the ruling National Par-

» ty in total number of voters, if the swing
away from the National Party continues,
this hardly makes the new system demo-
cratic.

Furthermore, the final decision on legis-
lation if there is an unresolved conflict
among the three chambers rests with the
President’s Council.

This means that a body which has no con-
stituency (its members will be elected by
the three chambers or nominated by the
executive President) will have more pow-
er, in important aspects, than the
chambers elected by the voters,

However, it is in the power of the ex-
ecutive President that the change in the
system may rouse most criticism.

' For the executive President will exercise
the functions of the present State Presi-
dent and the Prime Minister, he will ap-
point the mixed Cabinet, and he will de-
cide which Bill should go to which
chamber or be dealt with by all three in
terms of mutual concern or community
interest only.

Afrikaner Nationalists will be satisfied, in
the main, that although there will be
some form of power sharing in having a
mixed Cabinet and separate chambers of
one Parliament for Coloureds and In-
dians, control will remain in White —
Afrikaner Nationalist — hands.

| This is because the electoral college choos-
ing the State President will consist of 50
Whites, 25 Coloureds and 13 Indians, sel-
ected by the majority parties in each
chamber, which means that the Whites
will have the overall say, and these
Whites will be Nationalists.

Similarly, the President’s Council will con-
sist of 20 Whites, 10 Coloureds and five
Indians elected by the majority parties in
the three chambers, plus 25 other mem-
bers appointed by the executive Presi-
dent.

The Whites, who will be Nationalists, will
again have the majority say.

ANC INFILTRATOR ON FREEDOM CHARTER'S AIMS
Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 6 Aug 82 p 7
[Article by Sandra Lieberum]

[text]

MOST of the Freedom Charter’s aims have
already been met in South Africa through a
policy of gradual, peaceful change over the
years, Major Craig Williamson, the South
‘African undercover agent who infiltrated the
ANC, told a crowded Johannesburg court-
room yesterday.

It was a complicated, cleverly worded docu-
ment which lent itself to a variety of interpre-
tations and which was revered by terrorists
groups, banned organisations and commun-
ists as the embodiment of their aims in the
struggle against capitalism, he said.

In itself, however, it did not advocate any-
thing much that could not be seen by an en-

htened advocate of freedom and: trade
unionism as the noblest of aims.

It could also be interpreted as a call to battle
by those working against the country.

Expert

Major Williamson who said that when he
was deputy director of the International Uni-
versity Exchange Fund he supplied informa-
tion to the ANC, testified as an ANC expert
witness for the prosecution at the terrorism
a of trade unionist Mr Alan Morris Fine

). . .

Mr Fine, of Bellevue, has pleaded not guilty
to contravening the Internal Security Act. ~

He has also: denied ain alternative chargé,
that he worked with a member of the South
African Congress of Trade Unions, which or-
ganisation is said to have the same aims as the
banned ANC — a desire to overthrow the
South African Government.

Mr Fine has admitted that between 1977 and
September 1981 he supplied information on
trade union activities by various means, in-
cluding the use of dead letter boxes, to a
woman in Botswana who was banned at the
time she left South Africa.

70

Boycotts
e woman in question is Mrs Jeanette
Schoon.

The prosecution also stressed the possible
role played in boycotts of various products by
South African Congress of Trade Unions,
members or sympathisers, ANC members or
sympathisers or members of the Communist
Party.

The defence counsel claimed in cross-exam-
ination of Major Williamson that if it was true
that these people had been involved in the
boycotts they had done it in their personal ca-
pacities and not as representatives of the vari-
ous unions.

The court heard that the South African
‘Congress of Trade Unions was a lawful body
and was not banned in South Africa. :

Questioned on trade unionism, Major Wil-
liamson said: “The security police as such had
no interest in a legitimate trade union, but
where there are people who are misusing any
organisation it is the duty of the forces of law
and order to intervene.”

s
Alliance
Mr Fine, in explanation of his plea, ear-
lier told the court he was not aware of any
common purpose between the SACTU and
the ANC.

Major Williamson, however, told the court
there was an alliance between the SACTU,
‘the ANC and the Communist Party.

The court heard that Major Williamson’s
knowledge was based on information from
university campuses, trade unions and in
South Africa generally.

He admitted that trade unions had been a
particular target of police action over the past
few years.

PRO-PLO DEMONSTRATION DISRUPTS WITWATERSRAND UNIVERSITY

Clash With SAUJS

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 5 Aug 82 pp 1, 2

{Article by Chris Steyn]

[text]

‘Pre PLO demonstra-
tions by members of
the Black Student’s
Society (BSS) yester-

turned Israel
Week at the Universi-
ty of the Witwaters-
rand into a nasty ex-
perience.

Thousands of stu-
dents took part in the
demonstration, with se-
curity men forcing the
BSS, consisting mainly
of Moslems, and the
Jewish students apart.
The vice-chancellor,
Professor D J du Ples-
sis, also intervened.

Several Moslems,
sporting red-and-white

, dominated
the protest with raised
fists shouting “Viva
PLO”.

‘The campus buildings
were draped with anti-
PLO posters and flags,
and angry Jewish stu-
dents attacked the Mos-

lems.

_Amid the confusion, a
Moslem was heard be-
gging a security man to
keep the Jewish stu-
dents away from him.

It is alleged that the
leaders of the pro-PLO
group are members of
the Anti-South African

Indian Council and the
‘Azanian Peoples’ Orga-
nisation (Azapo).
David Orelowitz of the
South African Union of
Jewish Students
(SAUJS) explained how
the unrest si
The SAUJS had chal-
lenged the Moslem stu-
dents Association to an
intellectual debate on
the Lebanon war as part
,of the Jewish Week pro-
‘gramme.

‘The MSA refused to
take part in such a de-
bate and accused the
Jews of having precon-
ceived ideas.

“We offered to share a

platform with them, but
they refused and started
bringing out pro-PLO
posters and flags.”
. The Jewish students
brought out anti-PLO
“posters last Friday and
on Monday.

Many Jews felt that a
pro-PLO meeting held
in Lenasia last week,
where “grave insults”
were directed at the
Jews, sparked off the
unrest.

SAUJS attended . the

friendly manner” by
pro-PLO members.
“But we want to em-
phasize that we are
against the PLO and not
against the Palestini-
ans,” David Orelowitz

said.

‘Mr Neville Eisenberg,
one of the Jews who at-
tended the meeting, told
The Citizen of the
“shocking” statements
made there.

Neville said the pro-
PLO Moslems drew dis-
tinct parallels between
the National Party and
the Israeli situation in
Beirut, linking the NP,
who came in power in
1948, with Israel becom-
ing a State in the same
ivear, .

“Hitler is not dead.
His brother lives in
Cape Town and his twin
brother lives in Tel
Aviv,” was one of the
statements made.

The meeting pres-
ented colonialism, ra-
cism and Zionism as a
triangle, saying that
Lord Balfour had prom-
ised Chaim Weizman
that 2 Jewish minority
could rule over an Arab
majority.

It was also said that

SOUTH AFRICA

the Moslems did not
hate all Jews as some
Jews were the Moslem’s
“best shopkeepers”.

A Zionist, Mr Nicky

Caperouti, said legal ac-
tion would be taken
against pro-PLO Mos-
Jems who had made
these statements. “>

He said the flare-up

had inevitably begun on
both sides — ‘but the
matter had to be looked
into seriously.

“There is no place at a

South African universi-
ty for this kind of ra-
cism. We have to try by
all means of reason to
defuse it,” he said.

A student from Zghor-

ta North, Lebanon, “the
only one at the meeting
who lost family in the
war,” said he just
wanted the Israelis to
leave Lebanon.

It was a horrible gen-

eralisation to think that
every Palestinian was a
member of the PLO or a
terrorist, he said.

A spokesman for the

BSS said the protest
was not a Moslem —
Jewish issue and the so-
ciety refrained from
anti-Semitism: and ra-
cism at all times.



PROBLEMS NOTED IN LNG, PETROLEUM PRODUCTION

London AFRICA CONFIDENTIAL in English No 13, 21 Jul 82 pp 7-8

{Article in the colum "Pointers": "Cameroun: LNG Hiccups")

[text]

Following the recent breakdown
of Nigeria’s Bonny River liquefied natural gas (LNG) scheme,
Cameroun, in turn, has come up against serious problems with
its Kribi project (AC Vol 23 No 7). The $2bn-plus blueprint for
the Camerounian complex projected production, principally for
export to Western Europe, of some 6bn cubic metres of LNG
a year for a minimum 20-year period. However, the French
vonsultant firm, Franlab, chosen to certify the country’s natural
gas resources , has come to the conclusion that reserves are much
less substantial than had been previously claimed by oil
companies. Instead of the original 200bn cubic metres originally
estimated, Franlab reckons that Cameroun’s potential is
probably not more than halt this figure.

The Rio del Rey area, close to the disputed frontier with
Nigeria, is said to possess approximately two-thirds of
Cameroun’s known gas potential, and most of its oil. Royal
Dutch Shell and Elf Aquitaine, the Vrench state company,
control the concessions on which this gas is located. The central-
southern offshore area, towards Equatorial Guinea, which con-
tains the remaining third of estimated gas resources, is controlled
by Mobil and the second French group, Compagnie Francaise
des Pétroles (CVP-Total). Last’ year, a special company,

SEGAZCAM, was set up by these four western oil groups in
association with the Camerounian state firm, Société Nationale
des Hydrocarbures (SNH), to carry out the technical and
financial study for the Kribi scheme. Now, a high level SEGAZ-
CAM meeting, scheduled for August in the United States, will
have to take a crucial decision. President Ahamdou Ahidjo's
regime is firmly committed to Kribi, whose parameters will
probably have to be scaled down to a more modest 4bn cubic
metres a year. With this reduced capacity, Cameroun will not be
able to supply all potential clients. And one or two of the oil
companies originally tipped for the project could decide to pull
out before the August gathering, requiring a thorough rejigging
of equity arrangements.

men, even the most innocent communications
; and also other communications to Geneva and
‘ Lusaka.

* He conceded that thé use of a clantlestine

} method of communication did not lead to the
irresistible conclusion that those involved
were automatically members of the ANC or
the SACTU.

‘The ANC normally employed the use of se-
cret writing and codes, he said.

Commenting on the use of clandestine com-
munications, he said the question to be asked
was whether people communicated clandesti-
nely because the security police had them
under surveillance, or whether the security
police started keeping them under surveil-
lance because they were communicating clan-
destinely.

‘Poison’

Mr D Kuny, defending, has submitted
that any communication with Mrs Schoon
would immediately have cast suspicion on the
other person involved.

Major Williamson agreed that communicat-
ing with her was “like poison ivy”. He said
that if a person feared he would come under
ion by communicating with her, it
would be more logical, if it was an innocent
message, to send it openly.

The trial continues today before Mr W
Rosch.

IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHERE DO WE STAND?

We, the Muslim-Ummah, obviously fall into the same category
as those countries that make a few statements, shake our heads
and cry ‘Shame’ and then carry on asif there is nothing we can do.
We have acted this way about the disgraceful racist policies of
this government for the last few decades and then gracefully and
sanctimoniously claim: ‘We are the best Muslims’. This is a fraud!
Itis a fraud to that glorious Book whose Code we are supposed to
live by. It is a fraud to the verse: .

‘Say: Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my
death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.’

(Qur'an 6:162)

Why is it that ‘there is nothing we can do’ when it comes to

these crucial issues that confront the world — the crucial issues
in Lebanon, in Afghanistan, in South Africa? What do we do when
‘we are treated with such bitter contempt by these oppressors?
Yes, we are being treated with contempt because we have
allowed ourselves to be dismissed with this contempt. We
deserve to be treated in this way because we are not fulfilling our
duties as Muslims.

Our sacrifice, our life and our death are supposed to be for
Islam; we make this pledge yet we do not come anywhere near to
meeting it. When we say we are Muslims we take an oath to Allah
to offer that which we hold most dear to ourselves: our lives! If we
cannot honour this pledge we have no business to call ourselves
Muslims.

The most honourable position that a Muslim can attain is that
of martyrdom — the ultimate and most glorious position in Islam.
Why have we shied away from striving for this position? We have
only produced ONE martyr of note here in South Africa: Imam
‘Abdullah Haroon, who gave up his last breath so that justice
could prevail in this land of injustice. Why have we not followed
his example? Why have we not followed the example of that most
exalted martyr, Imam Hussain and all the other great martyrs of
Islam?

‘Those who believe, and suffer exile and strive with might and
‘main, in Allah’s cause, with their goods and their persons, have
“the highest rank in the sight of Allah: They are the people who will

achieve salvation.’

(Qur'an 9:20)

‘A Shaheed (martyr) is someone who struggles in the way of
‘Allah and gives his life. According to Islam he is always alive. He
“offers his life to testify that righteousness has been defended. As
Imam Khomeini has pointed out: ‘The martyrs are the candles of
society. They burn themselves out to illuminate society.’ At the

same time a martyr is one who is clothed in the garment of piety.
And piety consists of true purity which is freedom from spiritual
and moral pollutions which are rooted in selfishness and vanity.
. We in South Africa should take a look at ourselves in this context.

But the verligtes have hit
back with a vengeance, with
the Minister of National Edu-

himself a former AB chair-"

man — launching a stinging
attack on Prof Marius Swart
of the University of Port
Elizabeth, one of the 10 men
named for promotion in the
verkrampte short-list.
The attack came after
Prof Swart had delivered the
keynote address at the annu-
al congress of the powerful
‘AB front organisation, the
Afrikaanse Taal- en Kultuur-
vereniging last month.

He sharply criticised poli-

4700/1675

ticians for “bullying” cultur-"

al organisations and accused
politicians of adopting cer-
tain stances for their own
“selfish” ends.

Prof Viljoen took the un-
precedented step of releasing
a statement attacking Prof
Swart’s “arrogant” and “fool-
ish formulations” on the Fri-
day evening immediately
after Prof Swart’s address.

Ministerial aides went to
the unheard-of lengths of per-
sonally telephoning newspa-

gpers_after regular office
‘hours to ensure publication of
“the statement. ‘

Then earlier this month,
the Minister of Manpower,
leading verligte Mr Fanie
Botha, launched a sensation-
al attack on Prof Boshoff
while addressing a public
meeting in Louis Trichardt.

Once again, as with the un-
usual lengths gone to with
Prof Viljoen’s statement, Mr
Botha had ensured his attack

105

would receive maximum
publicity.

He also accused Sabra of
working for Dr Treurnicht
against the Government, the
first public statement by a
Nationalist MP of what has
been common knowledge: in
political ‘circles for some
time now.

Mr Botha’s attack was dou-
bly unusual in that not only
was he attacking the person
who occupies the traditional
ly revered position of AB
chairman, but he was also do-
ing so in public.
‘AB squabbles are always
kept under wraps and
worked out behind closed

AFRICA 'COULD FEED WORLD' SAYS OFFICIAL

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 5 Aug 82 p 15

[text]

AFRICA can_ become
the world’s food bas-
ket if closer ties be-
tween Black states
and South Africa are
developed, the vice-
president of the Inter-
national Permanent
Meat Office, Mr Danie
Scholtz, said yester-
day.

Predicting both an in-
crease in demand for
meat and a decrease
in supply world-wide
by 1985, he said closer
co-operation between
African countries in
agriculture could turn
the continent into the
world’s leading sup-
plier of food.

“Politics be damned,”
he told The Citizen. “if
we can help Blacks in
other countries where
good agricultural con-
ditions like soil and
climate exist, the
whole continent could
thrive.

cso: 4700/1687

“At the moment meat
consumption
throughout the world
is rising and as the
spending power of our
‘own Blacks increases,
so the demand will be-
come even greater.

“Africa has 20,5 percent
of the world’s total
livestock resources,
but supplies only 4,6
percent of the meat
on the world market.

“By 1985, production in

other parts of the
world will probably
not keep pace with de-
mand. Breeding stock
in Europe was cut
after the so-called
‘beef mountain’ sur-
pluses there in the
early 70s.

“There are low prices
for meat in the United
States and Argentina,
the world’s biggest
meat exporter, will
have difficulties with
its economy now after
the Falklands affair.

75

SOUTH AFRICA

“Now is the time for
‘African producers to
consolidate. South
Africa does not have

ditions nearly as
favourable for agri-
culture as many other
countries on the con-
tinent, but we do have
a lot of expertise.

“If we can combine this
expertise with the po-
tential offered by
other states, we could
lead the world even-
tually in supplying
food.

“If we can encourage
traditional herdsmen
to play a greater role
in meat production,
we should do well.”

Mr Scholtz said an in-
ternational meeting
of meat producers
was planned to take
place in Africa within
the next year. It
would concentrate on
promoting good man-
agement and close
liaison between pro-
ducers.

SOWETANS PONDER ON PARTICIPATION IN COUNCIL ELECTIONS

Johannesburg SUNDAY TIMES in English 18 Jul 82 p 28

[Article by Percy Qoboza: "This Struggle To Win the Hearts and Minds of

the People of Soweto")

[rext]

TO participate or not, that is the million dollar
question.

Or to be more precise, nearly 500000 voters in
Soweto are going through an agonising period deciding
whether or not to take part in the forthcoming Commu-
nity Council elections.

Ninety-four percent boycotted the elections five
years ago, mainly through the encouragement of the
Committee of Ten and other black organisations who
saw community councils as “toothless bulldogs”.

Whether only six percent of them will turn out for the
next election is a matter of heated debate in the
townships.

Irritations

Many feel that the powers already in the hands of the
council make it a body that can be used effectively to
fight some of the irritations imy by a id.

‘One such person is the “Mayor” of Soweto, David
Thebehali.

“We already have 90 percent of the powers. What
remains now is to be given full municipal status and this
is provided for in the new Bill which comes into effect in a
matter of a few months.

“When it does, all assets and liabilities in the hands of
West Rand Administration Board and the land will be
transferred to the Soweto Council,” he said.

MUDGE MAY HAVE SA, U.S. BLESSING VERSUS SWAPO

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 29 Jul 82 pp 1-2

[Editorial]

(text]

THE climate for a set-
tlement on Namibia has
certainly turned icy cold
during the past 24 hours
if SA Foreign Minister
Pik Botha’s communi-
que is anything to go by.

Three points emerge
out.of it:

@ Swapo allegedly is
not willing to play a fair
game;

@ SA is still adamant
the Cubans in Angola
will have to reduce their
strength or withdraw en-
tirely, irrespective of the
arguments that the
MPLA may hold on this
subject;

@ And there are still
many other obstacles to
a settlement, namely the
impartiality of the UN,
financial support for the
constitutional principles,
the status of the UN per-
sonnel in SWA, the
composition, functions
and operations aspects
of Untag and the
reciprocal release of
detainees.

50

Mr Botha also
emphasised that the SA
Government wishes “to
reconsider its standpoint
regarding the continua-
tion of the negotiations
and the implementation
of the settlement
proposal.”

On the other hand Mr
Botha stated yesterday
morning on his arrival in
Windhoek that con-
siderable progress in the
international negotiaions
has been achieved and
these latest develop-
ments might only
‘retard’ further progress,
but need not necessarily
torpedo the negotiations.

Also on the credit side
was DTA Chairman

on Tuesday night that
Namibian independence

KENYA

REPORTAGE ON COUP ATTEMPT AFTERMATH
Essential Commodity Shortages
EA061030 Nairobi THE STANDARD in English 6 Aug 82 p 3

[Text] Shortages of a number of essential commodities have been reported
in various parts of Nairobi. Such items include milk, bread and meat,
a top Kenya Co-operative Creameries official earlier in the week assured
the public that normal milk supplies would resume on-the-spot checks
revealed that milk deliveries were being wiped out minutes after they
were unloaded. Most people who are lucky to be at the shops and kiosks
when the milk deliveries arrive buy larger quantities than normal, thus
denying others the commodity. As for bread and meat, the situation
appeared more critical as several bakeries and butcheries were smashed
during the Sunday looting. The few such premises still operating were
having their stocks rapidly exhausted by crowds of shoppers roaming the
streets. Also running out fast were maize meal especially in eastlands
where residents, fearing an impending shortage, were reported to be
overstocking. For those whose cooking gas ran out following the Sunday

In short, the Arab regimes remained like spectators. Not even the ghost of
Nasser inspired any gesture more worthy than belated and hypocritical con-
demnations in the corridors of diplomacy.

In all this drama, the Arab powers demonstrated the petty bourgeois nature of
their status in the world--irresolute, rich in petroleum but poor in vision,
as dry in their historical perspective as the arid land of their deserts.

It will be a sad day when Beirut falls to the Zionists. But it is even sadder
to see the Arab leaders bury their heads in the sand so as not to see Beirut
in flames, with the other Arab capitals to follow.

By the strange and grim logic of the dialectic, this Palestinian-Lebanese
holocaust will spread the anomaly throughout the Arab world, until, before
long, all Arabs will be Palestinians, the direct targets, directly massacred.
New national regimes will emerge and the force of the generalized combat will
conceal the mediocre vision of the present powers.

Bombarded from land, sea and air, and stabbed in the back, today the Palestin-
ians are certainly experiencing indescribable pain and fury. May the history
of their suffering give them new strength to reorganize that fury until, one
day, wrapped in a kaffiyeh, Jerusalem will again intone the drawling chant of
the dawn.

MOZAMBIQUE

BAKERIES RETURN TO FORMER OWNERS
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 12 Jul 82 p 2

[Text] A factory specializing in making various grades
of cakes and the “Princesa  bakery--two important establish-
ments of the ‘Princesa Organizations --are in the process of
once again being returned to their former owners. Jose
Jeremias, who is connected with the General Commission of
Workers that partly supervises the activities of those
establishments, revealed that the Djambo, ‘Atenela, and
Safari: restaurants--also belonging to that organization--
could be returned to other owners.

According to information provided by Jose Jeremias, who heads the commission of
workers charged with supervising the activities of the Princesa’ network, which
is now broken up, and the bakery and cake factory have already been partly under
the management of the new owners for more than 3 days.

A consortium made up of 20 individuals operated the establishment belonging to the
Princesa Organizations’ until 1977, at which time 17 of them left the country.

Ever since the Commission of Workers was formed, according to that individual,
problems kept growing in number and size and that resulted in a debt of thousands
of Meticals by the first half of last year.

In the meantime, until the transfer has been completed, the workers at the establish-
ments of the Princesa Organizations’ will try to provide impetus for the implemen-
tation of professional discipline, something which has been forgotten in many
establishments of the hotel industry.

A seminar was held recently in an effort to stop the wave of discipline violations
which swept through those establishments, Weekly political study sessions were
instituted and the workers were mobilized for the start of the socialist emula-
tion campaign and the formation of a multipurpose cultural group.

IF SOUTH Africans

But if South Africans

LACK OF ENGINEERS--Would the unemployed engineers present please stand up
and be counted? A quick survey of three personnel placement agencies claim-
ing to have large numbers of work~seeking engineers on their books under-
taken by a large Johannesburg-based engineering consultancy eked out one
employable civil engineer. The informal survey was undertaken at Business
Times's suggestion after personnel placement agencies approached BT with
reports of scores of professional engineers being laid off or out of work,
Their reports were disputed by a number of the professional engineering
bodies which maintain that professional engineering skills of all sorts--
but particularly civil engineering skills--remain at a premium, What seems
to have materialised is the fact that technicians, draughtsmen, works mana-
gers, etc., are being confused with professionally qualified engineers.

And although there may be short-term hardening of the market for professional
engineers the long-term shortage of skills remains. The chronic problems
faced by an economy that hungers for professional engineering skills even

in recessionary periods is graphically illustrated by figures released to
Business Times this week by the Federation of Societies of Professional
Engineers, Intake of first-year engineering students declined from 483 in
1973 to 249 this year--and, of those who enrol, only 50 percent qualify.
Next year there will be an overall estimated shortfall of 1 800 professional
engineers of all disciplines. One of the ways of overcoming this increasing
shortfall is to recruit women and non-whites into the profession--at present,
for example, there are no more than 29 black engineers and 47 women engineers
in the country, To achieve higher recruitment levels the Institution of
Civil Engineers has selected 250 Std 8 pupils from Soweto schools who will
undergo enrichment programmes over the next two years. [text] [Johannesburg

EXPANSION OF COAL MINING CAPACITY CONTINUES

SOUTH AFRICA

Johannesburg SUNDAY TIMES-BUSINESS TIMES in English 25 Jul 82 p 32

[text]

EXPANSION of South Africa’s coal-

mining ‘capacity continues

unabated.

Planning and development of at least
six major new mines are well in pro-
gress of projects announced in the past

18 months.

_ The total capital cost of these mines alone
is more than R2 300-million in today’s money.
‘There are also many expansions of estab:

lished mines under way.

The heaviest capital-ex-
ansion commitments are
ing carried out by the
country’s leading producer,
‘Anglo American Coal Corp
(Amcoal), which in 1981 con-
tributed 28% of the industry's
total output of 130-million
tons.

By the year ending March
1982, Amcoa! had capital in-
vestment plans valued at
Ri 853-million — more than
R1 500-million to be spent on
four huge new mines for elec-
trical power generation and
for production of export coal.

xport mines now being
developed will take the in-
dustry as far as the phase 3
expansion for 1985/86.

As soon as these new mines
are completed, development
will swing towards the phase
4 mines to produce for ex-
ports from 1987 onwards.

Planning is already under
way for some of the phase 4
‘mines, and projects are likely
‘to be announced during 1983,
according to Steve Ellis,
head of the coal division at
General Mining Union
Corporation.

the Vereeniging-Sagolburg
coalfield. indicated that the
most suitable source for the
coal supply to the station
would be from the Maccau-
viei East area, in the Free
State just south of Vereeni-
ging.

Planning is for a totally
‘opencast mine, and a mining
method has been develo)
to mine the undisturbed

seams. 5

This method will also al-
low the extraction of the re-
maining coal from areas pre-
viously mined by
underground methods.

The calorific value in the
three areas to be mined var-
ies, and partial washing of
the run-of-mine product will
be necessary to ensure that
the required quality is
achieved.

Work on site starts in the
second half of 1982 and major
construction work starts in

5 1983.

New Vaal: A “tied” mine to
supply coal to Escom’s Leth-
aba power station, this is one
of the first new mines that
will open up the large coal-
fields in the northern Free
State, so far barely exploited.

It is planned to be in full
production in mid-1989, when
15-million sales tons a year
will be produced.

The mine was originally to
supply coal for a 1800MW
power station, but plans were
upgraded, and in March 1982

scom accepted an Amcoal
proposal to expand the ca-
pacity of the mine to supply a
3.600MW station.

The estimated cost of the
enlarged New Vaal, in De-
cember 1981 money, is about
R404-million. As construc-
tion will be phased over sev-
en years, the final cost will be
higher.

Revolutionary Council, reaffirmed the lay nature of the state when he said that
"In our country, anyone of us is free to profess the religion of his choice be-

the feast of Ramadan which signalled the end of 40 days of fasting to which the
faithful followers of Mohammed submit themselves. During the meeting held in
Mores, which was attended by various political and relgious personalities, the
Guinean chief of state called upon the people to increase the production areas
as a way to enable the country to face the phase of difficulties we are going
through now. "Nothing will be achieved without toil and sacrifices," he emphasized.

DETAILS ON COAL'S NEW BONANZA GIVEN

[Article by Andrew McNulty and Don Robertson]

fticory

MORE than R1 500-million will be
added to the coal industry’s already
massive capital-investment require-
ments over the next decade as a
result of the provisional coal-export
allocations announced recently.

Benefits to be gained from the alloca-
tions — which have been awarded to
meet clear objectives — include:
© Improved profitability prospects for those
companies — such as Amcoal, Trans-Natal
and Rand Mines — already heavily commit-
ted to expenditure on development of less
profitable Escom mines.
® Maximum production from new and exist-
ing mines, which will have increased scope to
produce in the most cost-effective ways.
@Stimulation of regional development in
three main areas — the Belfast/Carolina-
(Brevten area of the Far Eastern Transvaal,
the Newcastle/Vryheid area of Natal and the
area round Richards Bay in KwaZulu.

Although only due to start in 1987, the
additional exports will pump new lifeblood
into more than half a dozen mines that pro-
vide vital employment in northern Natal, and
would ‘ otherwise be unable to continue

ating.

Well over 40% of the additional 25-million
tons allocated will be produced by existing
mines supplying Escom power stations,

reby greatly extending the relatively new
development of multi-product coal mines.

was, wherever possible, to facilitate the es-
tablishment of multi-product mines where it
is péssible to cream off a better-quality coal
which can be exported at higher prices and

131

thereby contribute to lower overall coal costs
for electricity generation.

“Specific cases were also identified where
the production of an export allocation would
enable development of opencast mines, mak-
ing significantly higher tonnages of coal
available to Escom in future.” & ‘

: ” Steve Ellis, manager of the : at,
‘General Mining Ustien ich op-
es Trans-Natal Coal, comments that the

allocation so far appears “reasonable and
fair, well thought out”.

“However, Clydesdale’s allocation of only
half a million tons seems a bit hard in view of
its substantial contribution to the inland mar-
ket through Matla and New Clydesdale
collieries.”

Mr Ellis notes that the capital cost of anew
export mine is R65 to R70 an annual ton for a
new venture and upwards of R40 a ton for an

expansion.
A Gold Fields sj okesman commented that

Both. JCI and Anglovaal, each awarded
first-time export allocations, will inevitably
have to develop new “greenfields” ventures,
with ex mines of this size costing up-
wards of about R70-million in today’s money.

‘The list of provisional export allocations —
which are still subject to detailed negotiation
between the Government and the producers
— are so far understood to be:

Amcoal 4 Mt/a, Trans-Natal 4 Mt/a, Anglo-
vaal 1 Mt/a, GFSA 1 Mt/a, JCI 1,5 Mt/a, Rand

ALL PARTIES ASKED TO COME CLEAN ON NEGOTIATIONS

NAMIBIA

Windhoek THE WINDHOEK ADVERTISER in English 4 Aug 82 pp 1+2

[Editorial]

[Text]

cso:

The whole negotiating
process involving SWA
at present seems a ‘cir-
cus’ at best and a ‘big
lie’ at worst.

Whatever the descrip-
tion, it says little for SA
and the Western five, if
not both.

To start with, the
average man in SWA at
Present doesn’t have a
clue as to what is really
‘going on,

— despite reams of
newspaper reports on
the subject;

— and despite the sub-
sequent visit of the
Western Five ambas-
sadors.

_ Lets look at these
points, one by one:

This newspaper, for
one, reports the news
and views of all the ma-
jor personalities and all
the major parties to the
dispute, but it has
become increasingly dif-
ficult to discern the real
truth.

4700/1681

Indeed, we don’t
know whom to believe
anymore and we find
this most disturbing.

We have no hesitation
in saying this: If some
parties are telling us the
truth concerning certain
cardinal issues, then
others are distorting the
truth or lying.

Turning to the second
point, it is strange that
Messrs Botha and
Malan saw fit to talk to
party leaders confiden-
tially, allegedly leaked
certain items to certain
specially selected new-
spapers and were not
prepared to say these
things to the Namibian
people at large.

What in the final
analysis is the dif-
ferences between the
leaders and the people
and why cannot the peo-
ple at large be trusted on
matters concerning their
own future?

Besides, it is our
finding that the Cabinet

49

delegation told the dif-
ferent political leaders
different things (the
reason is not clear!) or it
expressed itself so badly
that there are now wide-
ty ranging interpreta-
tions of what was really
said.

Surely on that point
alone clarification is
needed.

Then finally the

Western five.
The Western five
delegation, seemingly,

contradicted much of
what some of the inter-
nal political leaders were
told by Messrs Botha
and Malan.

Indeed, a sad state of
affairs.

Our appeal to all the
‘outside’ parties: Please
come clean, even though
you may feel that your
interests don’t coincide
with ours.

The people of SWA
surely have a right to
know the truth.

REVIEW OF 1981 PLAN--The country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) last year
fell by almost two percent compared to previous year's, contributing to
failure of the 1981 annual plan to meet its objectives, According to the
review of 1981 annual plan released by the National Commission for Develop-
ment Planning, the K1,345 million GDP for last year represents only 94 per-
cent of the real GDP of K1,428 million for 1977 which is the base year for

the Third National Development Plan (ITNDP). When measured against the targe
of the TNDP there was no growth of the economy during 1981. External

factors in 1981 including the falling of copper prices, rise of the country's
imports were largely responsible for depressing the performance of the economy
last year, The fall in copper prices in 1981 further complicated the country's
liquidity problem of copper mines which had been making losses since 1975.
Copper production was at its lowest level of the whole decade of 1981, as a
result, because of its weight in the real GDP, the fall caused the GDP of

the mining sector to fall by 11.8 percent from its level of 1980,--ZANA

‘RADIO KULMIS' REPORTS LATEST CLASHES
EA041002 (Clandestine) Radio Kulmis in Somali to Somalia 1800 GMT 4 Aug 82

[Text] Reports from the front say that the 9th General Aynanshe and the
15th Gorob divisions clashed with troops still loyal to the regime of
Siad Barre in the regions of Mudugh, Ghel Gudut and Hiran, capturing
villages and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy forces.

Reports received from the 9th General Aynanshe division said that the
Siad Barre forces launched a massive attack on 2 August against the
defensive lines of the 9th division in the liberated village of Bali

The reports added that the invading Siad Barre forces met with utter defeat
on the battlefield and 250 of them, including officers, were killed while
360 were wounded.

The forces of the 9th division also captured six armored personnel
carriers, tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, radio communications systems,
jeeps anda large quantity of light weapons.

The reports added that the remnants of the Siad Barre troops have been
contacted and now fighting is going on in the outskirts of the regional

ZAIRE

FAVORABLE REACTION TO TIES WITH ISRAEL REPORTED
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 28 May 82 pp 1, 6

[Text] The decision of the Central Committee Bureau of the Popular Movement
of the Revolution [MPR] to restore diplomatic relations between Zaire and
Israel this past 14 May continues to provoke reactions all over the world.
Although the press, so far, has only reported negative reactions from some
Arab countries, these are not the only ones registered, far from it.

Wednesday afternoon, the president and founder of the MPR met with members
of the national press who wanted information on a number of questions
following Zaire's decision to reestablish its diplomatic ties with the
state of Israel.

The president of the republic and representatives of the Zairian news media
did a general review of domestic problems and foreign policy issues.

The leader of the nation spoke in particular about the important decision
which has resulted in some Arab countries venting their anger on Zairian
diplomacy.

On this subject, Gen Mobutu Sese Seko released to the journalists messages
sent to his office by several personalities and organizations conveying
the admiration, esteem and gratitude of their signatories to the head of
state for his courage and great wisdom.

Commenting on a statement made by Chadli Klibi, the secretary of the Arab
League, who claimed that after taking this stand Zaire had lost Arab
development aid, reported to amount to $400 million, the president of the
republic repeated that this was nothing but vicious blackmail.

“Our total external indebtedness amounts to some $5 billion," the head of
state said. "Most of that sum was given to us by banks and other financial
institutions of Europe and America, in other words, by former colonial powers.

What are the $400 million from the Arabs compared to the $5.5 billion loaned
to us by the former colonizers? And what conclusions should be drawn,"
General Mobutu added, "but that the former colonizers remain far better
partners in our development effort than these advocates of a new form of
slavery?"

NIGERIA

BRIEFS

TRIBALISM CALLED GREATEST PROBLEM--A former Governor of Bendel State, Dr
Samuel Ogbemudia has claimed that the greatest danger facing Nigeria's
political climate was "tribal politics," He said until an end was put to it,
such practice would continue to “pollute and divide the country." Speaking
in Benin Dr Ogbemudia said the problem of tribal politics would be easy to
solve. Asa first step towards this, he said political leaders should
"deliberately begin now to discourage people from believing that they could
only get to the top on tribal tickets." Referring to the mass media as the
"greatest vehicle through which the public could be enlightened against
tribalism, Dr Ogbemudua said: "Tribal politics restricts political leaders
to their local areas. It breeds suspicion and it does not allow people to
grow out from their environment." [Excerpt] [Lagos DAILY TIMES in English

MORE ON BULGARIAN AID--The developed nations have been asked to co-operate
with Nigeria in her industrialisation process, Making the call at the
weekend in Lagos was the Minister of Information, Mallam Garba Wushishi,
when the Bulgarian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Alex Sandel Atenasov paid
him a courtesy call in his office. Mallam Wushishi stated that there was
great need for Nigeria to industrialise because petroleum, which remined
the main foreign exchange earner was a wasting asset. The minister briefed
the Ambassador on the Federal government's programme-in agriculture, educa-
tion and housing. Mallam Wushishi appealed to the Bulgarian Ambassador
to be involved in the food preservation industry to enable the country's
farm produce "go a long way to satisfy the needs of the people." Earlier,
the Bulgarian Ambassador had announced that plans had reached an advanced
stage by his government to produce antibiotics from mize in Nigeria,

Mr Atenasov said that Bulgarian officials were in Jos and Kaduna to
conduct feasibility study on the project, He stressed that his government
had established centres in some states for the maintenance of agricultural
equipment. [Text] [Lagos DAILY TIMES in English 26 Jul 82 p 40]

JUGNAUTH PRESS CONFERENCE REPORTED
Port Louis NATION in French 17 Jun 82 pp 1,4
[Press conference with Aneerood Jugnauth; date and place not given]

[Text] Mr Jugnauth answered several questions from the press and reiterated his
pledge to maintain freedom of the press, which is, moreover, protected by the
constitution. Here are the main points of his statement.

LE MAURICIEN: Because of the absence of the opposition in Parliament, the press
will have an even greater role. Can you guarantee us, in front of the entire
country, that this freedom will be strengthened, in black and white in the
constitution?

[Answer] We are perfectly aware of the problem posed by the absence of an
opposition in the legislative assembly. Not only the press but the backbenchers
will have a special role over the next 5 years. The freedom of the press will
be protected. It is already guaranteed in the constitution. We are ready to
strengthen it if the need arises.

I can assure you that the press will not be interfered with, it will have com-
plete freedom, subject to the law, certainly. The truth must be published
freely.

{Question] What are your priorities for the next 3 months?

[Answer] There is the problem posed by the “employment letters" distributed
during the electoral campaign. We will have to straighten that out.

We will also try to put the administrationinorder, to eliminate waste, fraud,
first of all in the customs service. We will try to fight drugs. Then there
is the economic recovery and the creation of productive jobs.

[Question] What will be the legislative calendar for keeping your election
promises?

[Answer] We will do our best to fulfill them as soon as possible. We will
have to take the advice of our judicial advisors. We will do our utmost.

[Question] Will there be transfers of department heads?

INDIAN OFFICIAL NOTES ‘GROWING SCOPE' FOR COOPERATION WITH ZAMBIA

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 28 Jul 82 p 5

fexcerpt]

CSO:

4700/1678

ZAMBIA has become one of Africa’s major
trading partner of India and there is growing
scope for intensified cooperation in commerce

and industry.

Deputy Indian high
commissioner to Zambia
Mr Krishna Rajan said in
Lusaka yesterday that
there was a total of K100
million worth of trade
between his country and
Zambia in 1981.

He said this at a Press
conference at a Lusaka hotel
to mark India’s first participa-
tion in the Zambia Agricultural
and Commercial Show to be
opened by Tanzanian Presi-
dent Julius Nyerere on Satur-
day.

Mr Rajan accompanied by
two men from the Trade Fair
Authority of India led by

lonel Satish Saxema said
already India had extended
credit line to Zambia worth
K25 million in the last three
to four years. .

The credit was to enable
Zambia to import capital
goods from India.

Mr Rajan who has just been
appointed new Indian ambas-
sador to Algeria after a four-
year stay in Zambia cited UBZ,
the mining industry and the

151

Rural Development Corpora-
tion (RDC) as some of the
beneficiaries of the trade link.

“Parastatal organisations
like UBZ have been able to
negotiate for credit facilities
directly with Indian suppliers
of industrial materials to facili-
tate export of machinery and
goods to Zambia.

“It is a commitment by
India to extend long-term
credit line in whatever assis-
tance we can give to Zambia.
At the moment Zambia is one
of Africa's major trading
partners of India.””

Mr Rajan said compared to
1979 when total trade
between Zambia and India
stood at K40 to KSO million
in 1981 this trade jumped to
a total of K100 million which
was a great achievement.

Engineering and farm goods
were some of items which
formed the bulk of India’s
export to Zambia in addition
to that country’s full participa-
tion in developing the small-
scale industries.

ZAMBIA



cso:

Swapo's supporters as
well.

Against this
background one has to
evaluate the future of the
negotiating process.

Our view today is that
the negotiating process
is doomed to flounder.

True, it contradicts
our previous standpoint,
but that was purely tem-
porary and with con-
siderable reservation.

It cannot perhaps go
without passing that
while we were reporting
apparently positive
stories of progress from
New York in recent
weeks, Mr Mudge said
last week that he was
unaware of any real
Progress. .

That all said, the in-
dications now are that
the solution to a Nami-
bian settlement will be

4700/1681

sought on the military
plain.

Significantly, this has
already been mooted by
Mr Mudge. 7

On June 4 we
reported him as saying:
“If Swapo continues to
prevent the in-
dependence Process,
Swapo will be hit
militarily, hit without
mercy and the DTA wilt
support Dr Jonas
Savimbi.”

This newspaper has
every reason to believe
that Mr Mudge had the
backing in this statement
of the SA Government;
he was in Cape Town
immediatedly priof to
his making it.

One can also infer
that if Dr Savimbi is to
be helped militarily, the
final objective will be to
reverse the Angolan civil

51

war and drive the
MPLA right out of
Angola.

This might in fact
even have the blessing of
the Reagan Administra-
tion; there seems to be a
good understanding
between SA and the US
on this issue, the US is
under no obligation to
uphold an undemocratic
and marxist government
in Luanda, the US ap-
parently feels that the
status quo in Angola is a
threat to its interest in
Zaire and Dr Savimbi
always had fairly easy
access to former US
Secretary of State, Mr
Alexander Haig.

All in all then, it
would seem that the en-
tire Namibian issue has
taken yet another turn,
or alternatively, we have
misread it entirely.

agricultural projects and schemes in the country. Apart from an ambitious
development programme already underway, attention was also being focused

on training. Tractor drivers were undergoing specialised training as part

strikes for the past two weeks is expecting workers to be back for full

was reported to have been over on Monday last week. At Volkswagen about

2 000 workers were sent home on Thursday after being on a "go slow" strike
despite a management ultimatum. The Volkswagen plant was still running at
part production yesterday as it has been since the start of the "go slow"
campaign. Management has held a meeting with the National Automobile and
Allied Workers' Union (NAAWU) shop stewards to call for a return to normal
production at the plant, Workers at General Motors and Volkswagen have been
refusing to work overtime since returning to work, At GM and Ford, reports
of deliberate work disruptions have been denied, The reason for the workers"
action at Volkswagen was that they wanted management to conduct further wage
negotiations within the company with union representatives and not through
the Industrial Council. The wage dispute in the Industrial Council for the
eastern Cape motor industry which led to the strikes could drag on for

MOZAMBIQUE

MILITIA MEMBERS HELD IN POOR ESTEEM
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 8 Jul 82 p 1
[Article by Ricardo Timane: "We Are Proud of Being Militia Members"]

[Excerpts] "Being a militia member is considered by many to be an inferior assign-
ment." The truth is that "not everybody has the right idea about the work and
worth of a militia member," our reporter was told by Simeao Manhica,who is in
charge of the People's Militias.

Putting it this way, may seem to be a rather light-hearted and vague approach.

But it is not. The morning drill of the People's Militias commanders is over and
we and our interviewee were walking through the winding streets of a borough in the
capital.

We did not press our interviewee on that occasion but in his statement we felt a
certain complaint and perhaps,even more so, a certain criticism. A criticism
directed at anybody who would dare violate the dignity and pride of those men and
women, young and even younger, who voluntarily shoulder a part of the’ patriotic:ission
of providing for the defense and safety of persons and property belonging to the
people and the country, without any compensation such as they might be able to get
if they were doing something else. We did not press him but we decided to wait

for subsequent contacts on which occasion we also wanted to hear from militia offi-
cers regarding the criticisms that had been made with respect to the behavior of
some of militia members, both by the citizens and by government officials. Simeao
Manhica and other colleagues replied to us:

"Yes, it is true, we had and we still have, although very rarely, cases of prepo-
tent and arrogant militia members who display such behavior in their contacts with
other individuals. We had cases of opportunist individuals who exploit the power
we give them for their own personal gain. But those cases are now rare because,
starting with the period of basic training, we cleanse our ranks."

By way of explanation he briefed us on the origins of the problems that came up,
saying "there is another question here" and explaining:

When we asked individuals to go into training as militia members, they very often

sent us their worst individual from the residential areas and the enterprises;
these were undisciplined persons who never supported any political activities, etc.

ADVANCEMENT OF BLACKS AIDED BY APPLICATION OF SULLIVAN LABOR CODE

Johannesburg THE STAR in English 17 Jul 82 p 5

[Text]

Graphs showing the
performance of the
Sullivan Principles
are impressive, but
to Mr Dan Purnell
they illustrate only
a small part of the

story.

Mr Purnell, the exe-
cutive director of the
Rev Leon Sullivan's In-
ternational Council for
Equality of Opportunity
Principles, was
speaking in an interview
in Johannesburg
during his sixth visit to
South Africa from his
base in fhe United
States.

The Sullivan Fair
Employment Principles
on labour practices by
US firms in South
Africa has been bran-
ded by some US radic-
als as collaboration
with apartheid.

Some South African
unionists question the
real benefits of the code
while some blacks
doubt whether tne
principles are really
‘being implemented.

Mr Purnell and Mr
W H Magruder, spokes-
man for the various
task groups represent-
ing signatory US com-
panies in South Africa,
presented an array of
evidence to support the
code.

But to Mr Purnell,
personal experience of
the etfects of the code
tell mre than the cold
graphs.

“When you go to a
worker who tells you
what the effort means
to him...” — that is
the true measure of
tthe code’s success to
‘Mr Purnell.

“I went into a man’s
home the other day.
No report can describe
his pride in it,” Mr
Purnell said.

‘The same goes for
“health facilities, sports
facilities and children’s
education and all the
other goals of the Sulli-
van code.

In the last report,
144 of more than 300
US firms operating in
South Africa agreed to
apply the principles.

In brief, these prin-

ciples are:
\_ @ Non - ségregation
vof alt vgating, toilet,
changing and work fac-
ilities.

@ Equal and fair

employment practices
for all.

@ Equal pay for
equal work.

@ Training pro-
grammes that will pre-
pare a substantial num.
ber. of blacks, coloured
people and Indians for
supervisory, adminis-
trative, clerical and
technical jobs.

@ Increasing the

‘visary jobs. © nye

@ Improving the
quality of life for these
employees outside the
work environment in
fields such as housing,
transportation, —school-
ing, recreation and
health facilities.

All the US firms in
South Africa together
employ fewer worke:s
than a giant South
African ‘company such
as Barlow Rand, Mr
Purnell said.

But the value of the
Sullivan code is that a
lot of non-US compa-
nies ini South Africa
say the code Has hel-
ped to’ shape~ their
thinking and encour-
aged them to do a lot
more. They have acted
as a catalyst and a
guide, he added. :

In some ways a com-
pany like Barlows is
ahead of the signa
tories to the Sullivan
‘code who are success-
fully implementing it,
Mr Magruder said.

With other labour
codes in the field, in-
cluding the one formu-
lated by the EEC, Mr
Purnell said he felt the.
Sullivan. was more

fextensive "4s ‘it ‘covered

a wider field.

that the annual growth
rate of the nation’s 9.2
million cattle was low,
and this made the impor:
tation of beef necessary.

He said that large
plots of land had. been
acquired in the northern
part of the country to
serve as grazing reser-
ves to boost beef
produc+tion.

The Minister said that

Te:

.had been reclaimed.

Mr. Green said that
rinderpest which had
ibeen a major problem to
the cattle industry had

56

been eradicated, while
the campaign against
“contagious _ bovine
pleuroneumonia” —_ had
reached an advanced
stage.

' He appealed to parti-
cipants at. the confe-
rence to explore ways of
boosting beef produc-
tion and ensure that
their recommendations
were implemented and
not merely kept in the
archives.

The quality of the
programme varied from
company to company
rather than from code
to code, he said.

But if you take the
top 50 performers in
the field, you will find
proportionately more
US firms than EEC or
South African ones, he
added.

He said this was
because the Sullivan
code demanded more.

However he said
there were many
strengths in the codes
of companies such, as
Barlows who shaped.

their aims to suit their
particular circum-
stances.

“For example» some
of their mine housing
looks like hotels,” he
said.

On community deve-
lopment levels, the Sul-
livan code achieved
proportionately more
to improve the quality’
of life of employees.

This covered health
care, housing and faci-
lities as well as a
scheme whereby US
firms “adopt” a nearby
black school, providing
it with facilities.

Mr Purnell felt that

-More employee choice
existed in Sullivan
code companies.

“They don’t have the
paternalism that I de-
tect here,” he added.

He said the Sullivan
companies were the
only ones to call their
employees together to
discuss their ratings in
terms of the code.

‘This is the answer to

some critics of the sys-
tem who ask how effec-
tive the code can be
without an outside in-
dependent monitor in-
stead of depending on
the companies to police
themselves.

“Mr = Magruder said
that the most effective
“policemen” in the set-
up are the employees
themselves, usually un-
ionists.

In addition compa-
nies this year will be
obliged to have public
accounting firms audit
their effort in terms of
the code.

Mr Purnell said he
received about 180 let-
ters from employees
yearly on the perfor-
mance of their compa-
nies.

He said in one casea
group of employees ‘felt

[their company had

been unfairly rated as
it had not been classi-
fied in the top cate-
gory in terms of the
code.

He said the criteria-
were becoming tougher
as more was being
achieved and some
companies were setting
new standards even
above those first estab-
lished by Dr Sullivan.

What of criticism by
black groups in the
US?

Mr Purnell points
out that US blacks
have- mahor ~: em
ployment problems
themselves with 40
percent of those in the

18 to 24 group unem-
ployed.

According to one
poll, only a fifth of one
percent of all Ameri-
cans are interested in
South Africa, he added.

But he said more
people in the US, were
now appreciating what
the Sullivan code could
do in South Africa.

He conceded that the
Sullivan code did not
hold the ultimate solu-
tion to all South
Africa’s problems.

The principles could
not in themselves
change the political
structure. Other bodies
such as. the churches
and world governments
were also effecting
change in South Africa,
he said.

He agreed that the
changes brought under
the Sullivan code
amounted to affirmat-
ive action.

While this concept
may ‘have negative con-
notations in South
Africa, Mr Purnell said
it was “the biggest lie”
that affirmative meant
the promotion’ of
people irrespective of
merit.

Employers know who
will serve them best
after they have evalu-
ated their workers, he
said.

“You have run out
of white people here,”
‘Mr Purnell said.

He cited the example
of an Afrikaner indus-
trial instructor who

was dedicated to tne
task of training blacks
because he realised
there were no whites
to replace him.

A spokesman for the various groups representing signatory U.S. companies
in South Africa presented an array of evidence to support the labour
code in these graphs:

Radical Plan: Mixed Views

A STREET survey done
by The Citizen yester-
day revealed some re-
sentment against the
Prime Minister, Mr P W
Botha. Ohters were im-
pressed with “the rad-
ical political changes”
he announced in Bloem-
fontein on Friday night.

Some people didn’t
know who Mr P W Botha
was, or what his Nat-
ional Party policy en-
tailed, nor had they
heard anything about
the new political dispen-
sation.

But some who didn’t
hear about the latest
political developments,
were prepared to say: “It
doesn’t matter what he
has doen now, we don’t
like it.”

Mr S J Ferreira of Al-
berton was a very un-
happy Afrikaner when
questioned yesterday.

"He is selling our
country to other race
groups. He takes all the
power in his own hands
and gives everything
away. We are now fol-
lowing in Zimbabwe's
footsteps,” he said.

Mr Paddy Hutcheon of

Prime Minister’s ex-
planation that he was
instituting a new poli-
cy of consensus, which!
differed with the pres-
lent Westminster form
lof government based
lon differences _be-
tween opposing par-
ties, Mr Marais said it
was not even possible
to reach consensus be-
tween HNP and NP

Afrikaners who belong
to the same church,
culture and race.

“To allege that one

sus between people of
different _religions,
races and cultures was
misleading,” he said.

It was important to
take note that the pro-
posals were not defini-
tive. But only a point
lof departure for a new
dispensation of power-
\sharing and mixing be-
tween Whites, Indians
‘and Coloureds.

Edenvale agreed: “Mr
Botha is trying to give
away what was earned
with Afrikaner blood.
He is not thinking of
us.”

A member of the
,Hell’s Angels, Mr H van
Rensburg, however, felt
that Indians and
Coloureds should ‘be
‘given a chance.

"If one doesn’t give
them some say, they re-
volt.

Botha, was Mrs Linds

and it is still ademocrac-

WALKOUT HIGHLIGHTS START OF CP CONGRESS

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 4 Aug 82 p 3

[Article by Jaap Theron]

[Text]

THE Conservative
Party’s congress had
a bad start yesterday
when one of its first
members, Mr Stoffel
Vermeulen walked
out of the Pretoria
City Hall and resign-
ed saying he “did not
accept the wording
of the very first prin-
ciple of the party”.

Attempts by Dr A P
Treurnicht, leader of
the CP, to stop Mr Ver-
meulen failed.

The CP spent most of
yesterday discussing in-
ternal matters, includ-
ing an impromptu fund
raising. Later the pro-
gramme of principles
was discussed.

Mr Vermeulen yes-
terday suggested that
the first principle’s
words, referring to the
recognition of the su-
Premacy of God, should
be changed.

But the congress out-
voted his proposal and
accepted the principle
as stated.

Mr Vermeulen then
walked to the front of
the hall to talk on the
matter again.

. he was told

that the congress has
already accepted the
original version . he
said: “Then I have no
other choice but to
leave congress and you
may as well terminate
‘my membership of the

Dr Treurnicht said
“No , Mr Vermeulen
this is not the way todo
things.”

But he headed for the
back door got in his car
and left.

Some of the del-
egates commented that
Mr Vermeulen was no
loss to any party and
they did not mind him
resigning.

The congress accept-
ed all 15 principles put
;to them. They included
"the maintainance- of
Christian National
principles; the maintai-
mance of a Republican
form of state, to uphold
the equality between
Afrikaans and English;
acceptance of the diver-
sity of nations, but es-
pecially the party’s duty
to identify and build the

118

White nation.
It also accepted the
‘economical interdepen-

‘dence of nations in

South Africa. The party
stood for a fair geo-
graphical arrangement
of the various nations
which was the only
guarantee and bulwark
against integration.

It considered it essen-
tial that each nation
had its own political
structures and author-
ities, rejected a
dictatorship and the
undermining of the na-
tion’s democratic
rights.

The CP strove for la-
bour peace, for an inde-
pendent farming com-
munity and the decen-
tralisation of indust
ries.

The party further a¢-
cepted a principle call-
ing for efficient secur-
ity services and an
efficient education sys-
tem.

Despite the congress
having only to accept
these principles as
broad guidelines, there
were discussions on al-
most every proposed
principle and in some
cases of their wording.

Some delegates were

SOUTH AFRICA

against the principle
which bound the party
to a symbolic head of
State, while others de-
manded that the prin-
ciples should have re-
ferred to the party’s
aims to obtain a White
State in principle.

Some delegates said
“Mohammedism”
should be officially re-
jected, being the oppo-
site to Christian beliefs
of the White govern-
‘ment in South Africa.

At the same time, it
was demanded that In-
dians should not get
their own separate land
but should be restricted
to city-states. It was ar-
gued that Indians were
not farmers, but were
presently restricted by
themselves to trade and
industries.

One said that Whites
would, in time, lose the-
ir fatherland if
the Indians got the
vote while they were
not restricted to a
city-state.

It was pointed out

Whites in Natal despite

the first Indians having

arrived in South Africa
less than 150 years ago.

relations, there have
been dark patches of
disagreement politically
an economically.
Sharp words have been
exchanged publicly and
privately in the heat of
the moment.

Like all real friends there
are times when we must
differ. But that should
not make us lose our
deep-rooted friendship.

Occasions like the Mwali-
mu’s current State visit
to Zambia should be a
grand opportunity to sit
down amicably and
thrash-out all the pin-
prick problems that
threaten to jeopardise
that friendship in any

way.
And we should not imag-
ine that there are no
problems. One im-
mediate one is how to

It should be remembered
that the K450 million
Tanzania and Zam>ia
ot from China for

‘azara has to be repaid
from revenues that
Tazara earns.. The servi-
cing of that loan will
begin next year.

That is too close for com-
fort considering the eco-
nomic and financial
strains both Tanzania
and Zambia are now
suffering. .

Tazara is not a “‘white”
elephant. It should re-
main a “black” ele-
phant, a symbol of
strength for this region.

And since the emphasis
now is on such organi-

sations lke the PlA

Mwalimu will make his
State visit to Zambia
even more historical by
signing the PTA treaty?

KWANZA BENGO SORGHUM PRODUCTION RATED HIGH
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 9 Jul 82 p 1

[Text] The first experiment in the cultivation of feed sorghum (massambala)--
carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, at production unit KM 56 of the
Kwanza-Bengo agrarian complex yielded satisfactory results.

On Wednesday, the first day of the harvest of this cereal, 3 tons were
gathered, The sorghum harvested during this initial experiment will be used
as seed, with a view to extending production to other areas of the country.
A 70-ton harvest is expected, while the area cultivated under this first ex-
periment was 70 hectares,

The new variety of sorghum, obtained in Zimbabwe, offers certain advantages
over the production of maize. An increase in sorghum cultivation will com-
pensate for the scarcity of maize for use in animal feed.

The sorghum produced has a shorter growth cycle (3 months) than the traditional
variety (5 months), it is resistant to droughts and has a higher yield per
hectare.

According to estimates, on the average of 1 ton of feed sorghum per hectare
is expected to be harvested.

This first experiment facilitated the study of the behavior of the sorghum in
terms of productivity, for the subsequent total mechanization of that cereal's
cultivation. In the past the production of massambala was done by hand, with
much lower yields, in the provinces of Bengo, Luanda, Huila Cumene and
Mocamedes.

The National Enterprise of Agricultural Mechanization (ENAMA) has already
tested some of the mechanical equipment to be used from the planting to the
harvesting stage. AGROAR also tested disinfectant products. ENAMA tested
some of its own agricultural equipment for rice and wheat, in order to evaluate
the degree of sorghum grain loss, so that modifications can be made in the next
harvest.

During this harvest, a Type 512 combine is to be tried out, with an average
daily fuel consumption of 200 liters. This combine which comes from the German
Democratic Republic, can mow, thresh and winnow all at the same time, thus



COAL RESEARCHING REVAMP SCHEDULED

SOUTH AFRICA .is to
streamline and consoli-
date research activities
into coal.

Legislation to broad-
en research activities
into coal will be tabled
in Parliament next

year.
The Minister of In-
dustries, Commerce

and Tourism, Dr Dawie
de Villiers, said in Pre-
toria yesterday that the
terms of reference of
the 52-year-old Fuel Re-
search Institute, to be
incorporated into the
Council for Scientific
and Industrial Re-
search, would in future
focus on coal itself
instead of fuel from
coal.

The research would
be tackled on a national
basis, and in close con-
sultation with the De-
partment of Mineral
and Energy Affairs and
other interested parties
in the public and pri-
vate sectors.

“The objective will be
to emphasise the im-
portance to South Afri-
a of coal in its multiple
role as a primary:source
of energy, as a raw ma-

133

terial in the chemical
industry, as a reducing
agent in the metallurgi-
cal industry, and as an
export mineral,” said
Dr De Villiers.

Meanwhile, a further
investigation would be
made into all aspects of
coal research and its
links with the produc-
ers and users of coal.

Legislation would en-
able the creation of a
body, with strong rep-
resentation from the
private sector, to advise
the CSIR on research
programmes and priori-
ties.

It would also estab-
lish whether or not any
of the existing func-

- tional, modules of the

institute might belong
more appropriately in
other public institu-
tions and vice versa.
~ Dr De Villiers said
that the key considerat-
ion in further investiga-
tions and the proposed
legislation was,
through rationalisa-
tion, to achieve the
maximum utilisation of
manpower and facili-
ties in the field of coal
research.

It must be pointed out that Arab loans are rarely granted directly by Arab
institutions but are provided on a roundabout way through agencies and
mechanisms that introduce unnecessary complications into the operation and
make these loans fairly costly.

Messages of congratulations, thanks and encouragement coming from various
parts of the world are constantly reaching the office of the president and
founder of the MPR, the president of the republic, and these messages prove
that Zaire's decision is an event which no peace-loving country seeking to
pring harmony into international relations can fail to acknowledge and
applaud.

To enlighten the public, AZaP [Zairian Press Agency] started publishing today
the full text of messages sent to the president and founder of the MPR and
warmly approving the Zairian stand.

From E. Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress:

“On behalf of Jewish communities from the 68 nations forming the World Jewish
Congress, please accept our warmest congratulations on your government's
decision to restore relations with Israel. We welcome this positive gesture
of friendship toward the state of Israel and the entire Jewish people."

From H. M. Squadron, president of the American Jewish Congress:

"We warmly congratulate you for your statesmanship and clear-sighted decision
to renew diplomatic relations with Israel. We are convinced that other
African states will be inspired to follow your courageous and highly
principled example. We believe that the historic initiative taken by your
government will have more far-reaching effects than the immediate ones and
will help to restore and heighten understanding and ties between the people
of Israel and the African people."

From J. Spitzer, president of B'nai B'rith:
"Dear Mr President,

As international president of B'nai B'rith, the biggest world organization
with 500,000 members from all over the world, I congratulate you and your
government for the just and courageous step of renewing relations with Israel
for the first time since 1973. This action will help to create the atmosphere
needed to achieve peace in the Middle East. I hail this courageous deed in
favor of peace."

From Greville Janner, president of the British Jewish MP's group:
"The entire Jewish community of Britain joins all those who believe in the
diplomacy of peace and justice to congratulate Your Excellency, your

government and your people for having reestablished diplomatic relations
with the Jewish state."

CITIZENS' VIGILANTE ACTIVITY, COOPERATION WITH POLICE PRAISED
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 28 May 82 pp 1, 5

[Text] Two years ago or so, the group of people such as "Buddha, Wallace"
and company was terrorizing Kinshasa. No matter what protective measures
were adopted, it was all in vain because the "hooligans" always managed
to carry out their operations without hindrance.

When they were arrested and jailed, they went on trial and were sentenced to
death. In this instance, justice was harsh, since capital punishment was
imposed. While all this was happening, other delinquents were laughing up
their sleeves at the expense of the citizens of Kinshasa. It was not long
before other antisocial elements started cropping up everywhere. Oddly
enough, they started doing strange things such as sending messages to their
future victims. The situation deteriorated to such a point that the people
of Kinshasa were glad of the steps taken by the authorities advising them to
form civil defense groups to assist the police force.

People were pleased to see that in some parts of the town the residents
themselves were patrolling their own districts. So far, the results of this
operation are very encouraging. Even if people have had to make do with less
hours of sleep, at least they are protecting their safety and that of their
families.

Until recently, people shut themselves in their homes when a neighbor was
attacked. But now this kind of attitude is beginning to change and we proudly
salute the solidarity shown by the people of Kinshasa who, at the slightest
signal, come out into the streets to confront the delinquents. However, it
is to be wished that this solidarity will become even stronger since it is an
acknowledged fact that there is strength in unity.

With this is mind, the authorities ought to reassess the orientation and
mobilization of the police because, in fact, the police is quite rightly the
backbone of our civil defense. This must be done to avoid a situation where,
eventually, the citizens will take the law into their own hands. New measures
will succeed in stopping the activities of gangsters and other perpetrators
of armed robbery.

On the eve of the elections, this type of operation can only be described as
acts of sabotage. That is why the citizens must step up their vigilance to
eliminate the threat represented by this rabble which is spreading terror in
Kinshasa.

MOZAMBIQUE

ARAB REGIMES' INDIFFERENCE TO PLO PLIGHT LAMENTED
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 14 Jul 82 p 8
[Editorial by Carlos Cardoso: "Not Even the Ghost of Nasser"]

[Text] History repeats itself whenever it is not used as a tool of learning.
Between 1939 and 1945, Nazi Germany massacred 6 million Jews. Today
descendants of the victims are the first to kill. This is what is happen-
ing in Lebanon.

In denying the Palestinians the right to build their state, Israel has now
condoned what Hitler did to the Jews themselves when he denied them their
cultural and religious identity.

In murdering Arabs indiscriminately, Israel accepts the Nazi massacre of the
Jews. It is practicing the same racism against the Arabs that Hitler used
against the Jews.

The other aspect of this invasion of Lebanon is equally horrifying. It is
the passivity of the Arab regimes.

Try as one will, it is impossible to believe that the Arab regimes were un-
aware of Israel's intentions. It was more than 3 years ago that the PLO
alerted the world that Israel was preparing its army to invade Lebanon.

When Israel recently annexed the Golan Heights, it was planning the invasion.
When Israel placed 42,000 soldiers on the southern border of Lebanon, it was
planning the invasion.

And again the Palestinians cried out to all the Arab world: Jerusalem is
your ancient heart, and we Palestinians are your only hope of seeing the
banner of your pride fly there.

Nothing.
Before the invasion, the PLO requested more materiel. In response, the Arab
powers were vaccilating and hesitant. The invasion came, and the response was

that it was impossible to help because the Israeli army now controlled ail of
Lebanon.

MAURITIUS

NATIONAL PRESS AGENCY TO BE ESTABLISHED
Pout Louis LE NOUVEAU MILITANT in French 22 Jun 82 pp 1,4

[Text] Harish Boodhoo, vice prime minister and minister

of information and cooperative development, announced a
series of measures yesterday which the government plans

to adopt to facilitate the work of journalists and allow
the state to have sound and proper relations with the
press. In this connection, Harish Boodhoo, who met
yesterday with the directors and editors in chief of
newspapers and the MBC [Mauritian Broadcasting Corporation],
announced the creation of a national press agency, and a
press council, the appointment of a liaison officer in the
ministry of information, and the organization of information
meetings between the prime minister and journalists. All
the leading members of the press were present at yester—
day's meeting.

First Harish Boodhoo said that this meeting with representatives of the press,
radio and television belongs in the framework of the government's policy of
dialogue. He emphasized the important role of a free press, especially at

a time when no parliamentary opposition exists. The minister announced the
amendment to the constitution designed to guarantee freedom of the press.

Harish Boodhoo also stated that he intends to review government policy about
the paid publication of government opinions, so as to ensure equitable distri-
bution. For the financial year 1981/82 the government spent Rs 270,335:
94,325 for ADVANCE, 62,555 for NATION, 43,660 for LE MAURICIEN, and 42,985
for L'EXPRESS.

The minister of information once more confirmed the fact that MBC/TV will
function as an autonomous institution without political interference.

Harish Boodhoo hopes for the founding of a press council and the restructuring
of the Association of Journalists of Mauritius, as well as the creation of an
association of newspaper directors. "Journalism is a noble profession and I
intend to meet with the minister of labor to see that the Award governing

the working conditions of journalists is consistent with this profession,"
said the minister.

CONSENSUS TERMED KEY TO NEW STYLE OF GOVERNMENT

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 2 Aug 82 p 4

[article by Jaap Theron]

[text]

THE most important
political develop-
ment of the Govern-
ment’s new policy
guidelines is the cre-
ation of a single pol-
itical system for
three races —Whites,
Coloureds and
Asians — without
any group dominat-
ing the other.

The Prime Minister,
Mr P W Botha, ex-
plained at length at the
NP’s federal congress
in Bloemfontein that
the envisaged system,

called “own” group's af-

basis — decide on mat-
ters of common inter-
est.
¢ Mr Botha and Mr
Chris Heunis, who is to
become Minister of
Constitutional Affairs

today, stressed that the
Government has cre-
ated a single political
system in which the
three population
groups get equal politi-
cal status without the
one being either infer-
ior or superior to that
of the others.

Mr Heunis told the
congress “that these
guidelines were already
more acceptable to all
levels of the population
than any other policy
has ever before been in
South Africa.”

The Prime Minister
emphasised that the
new policy would shift
xthe political style of
government from that
of differences and con-
flict between political
parties to one of con-
census.

In the new system it
would be necessary to
reach concensus by way
of mutual advice, delib-
eration and persuation.

For this reason there
would be no question
that any of the
chambers of the new
three-chamber Parlia-
ment could be allowed

to control, the others.

‘The President will
get a higher status and

step which is more or

ommendations of the

“President’s Council.

Meanwhile, Tana River district commissioner, Mr (Mbuo Waganagwa), has
directed that all vehicles passing along Garissa - Malindi Road shall
henceforth be escorted by police to ensure their security. Mr (Waganagwa)
made the decision yesterday because of the recent Shifta bandit attack

on a Tana bus. He also said that starting from yesterday all buses in
the area will be operating in convoys. He also added that the district
was calm after the Shifta incident and that Wananchi were not conducting
their duties as normal.

Death Toll, Present Situation
ABO71322 Paris AFP in French 1056 GMT 7 Aug 82

[Text] Nairobi, 7 Aug (AFP)--About 160 corpses were deposited in the
various mortuaries in Nairobi following last Sunday's coup attempt, it
was learned from well-informed sources in the Kenyan capital.

Thirty-two corpses now in a state of fairly advanced decomposition have
not been identified yet in spite of the visit on Friday by hundreds of
people who were anxious to know the fate of someone missing.

Kenyan President Arap Moi stated on Thursday that the coup claimed 129
lives. But the figure apparently represented the corpses already
identified at the time he was speaking. Mr Moi observed that these
were members of the air force and looters.

Also, it is not known whether the seizure by government troops of the
air force base at Manyuki 200 kms north of Nairobi claimed many victims.
Shortly after the events on Sunday some diplomatic sources put the figure
of the dead at about 300. On the other hand, according to the newspaper
THE NATION, three curfew breakers were killed on Thursday.

On Saturday morning, practically normal business activity prevailed in
the center of Nairobi. This was notably due to the measure easing the
curfew now in effect from 2100 to 0500.

The army, however, continued to comb the quarters surrounding the Eastleigh
Air Force Base in the suburbs of the capital, where rebels are reported
to be hiding.

In all populous quarters of the city, the police continue to collect
goods stolen on Sunday and sometimes abandoned by their casual owners
along the roadside.

The booty of the plunderers is then carried in lorries to the Jomo
Kenyatta Conference Center close to the courthouse. National service
members carry in wheelbarrows varied objects into the main hall of the
center which can accommodate 5,000 people. There, the objects are
arranged in categories, living room furniture on one side, stoves on

RESULTS OF JOINT BENINESE-GUINEAN COOPERATION COMMISSION MEETING
Conakry HOROYA in French No 2916, 2-8 May 82 p 50
[Article by Amirou Barry: "A Promising Future"]

[Excerpts] Consistent with the political wishes of Presidents Ahmed Sekou
Toure and Mathieu Kerekou, Guineo-Beninese cooperation is constantly
developing with a view to attaining its principal objective: making our two
peoples one and the same people. This is at least the spirit in which the
High Joint Cooperation Commission held its first session in Conakry from

20 to 25 April.

This session had been preceded, it is known, by the exchange of multisectoral
delegations who by hard work had developed basic documents for several
conventions, agreements and protocols, the signing of which approved this
meeting. This is the best way of resisting the perpetual assaults of
imperialism.

At this recent session the Beninese delegation was headed by Brother Salami
Zul Kifl, minister of the plan, statistics and economic analysis.

As for the Guinea delegation, it was headed by Comrade Boubacar Diallo, the
minister of economic and financial affairs to the presidency who, at the
opening of the proceedings spoke of the excellence of Benino-Guinea
relations, the architects of which are the two brothers and friends in
combat, Presidents Mathieu Kerekou and Ahmed Sekou Toure.

It was not without emotion that the Beninese minister of the plan, statistics
and economic analysis, in his replay, tahnked the people of Guinea, first for
the reception and hospitality of which he and his delegation had been the
object, then for the praise for the Beninese Revolution which, as President
Methieu Kerekou said, is a "baby born with teeth," but a revolution, as
Brother Salami Zul Kifl has so well emphasized, "strong in the unconditional
support of its elder, the Guinean revolution."

These usual speeches were followed by a first working session which consisted
of studying the agenda dealing with:

POWER STRUGGLE THREATENS BROEDERBOND'S POLITICAL ROLE
Johannesburg SUNDAY TIMES in English 25 Jul 82 p 8
[Article by Tony Weaver: "The Battle of the Bond"]

[text]

THE Battle of the Bond is on. The top men in Afrikanerdom
are locked in a struggle which could see the end of the
‘Afrikaner Broederbond as it exists today, returning it to its
‘much-vaunted, but seldom-utilised “cultural” role.

A series of dramatic developments recently has rocked the
foundations of the AB, paralysing its role as the shadowy political
organisation which shapes National Party (NP) and hence South

‘African politics.

‘And now it has emerged
from sources close to the AB
that there is a strong feeling
among Broeders that this
year’s Bondsraad — at which
the new chairman and execu-
tive committee are elected
= should be postponed to
prevent a further disintegra-
tion of this once mighty ferce
in South African politics.

. Sources also say that if the
biennial Bondsraad is held —
probably in October or No-

“vember — verligtes will put

‘in a strong bid to have the

‘meeting in Cape Town,

‘homeground of the Prime
‘Minister, Mr P W Botha.

This would put the ver-
ligtes in a position where
‘they would be operating in a
more sympathetic climate,

away from the traditional
‘Transvaal stamping ground
of the right wing and the
strong influences of Dr An-
‘dries Treurnicht’s Conserva-
tive Party (CP).

The verligtes’ choice for
the position of AB chairman
is said to be Professor Wyn-
and Mouton, rector of the
University of the Free State
and chairman of the board of
the SABC.

isfaction in verkrampte cir-
cles with the present chair-
man, Prof Carel Boshoff.

Although he is ideological-
ly acceptable to members
of the CP and other right-
wingers, it is felt that he
is not a strong enough leader
to warrant a second term of
office.

He was elected chairman
at the last Bondsraad in 1980.

Since Dr Andries Treur-
nicht and his rebel band split
from the National Party to
form the CP earlier this year,
the AB has been in its worst
crisis ever.

The only other parallels to
the present crisis were those
caused by division during the
Second World War over
South Africa’s support for the

speculation has been rife
in political circles recently
about Prof Mouton’s candida-
ture, with the usually well-
informed Herstigte Nasion-
ale Party mouthpiece, Die
Afrikaner, reporting it! as a
matter of fact this week.

It is not known who will be
the right wing's candidate for
the post of chairman, but
there is considerable dissat-

Allies and then the break-
away from the NP of the Her-
stigte Nasionale Party in
1969,

The present split has seen
some astonishing attacks be-
ing launched from ‘public
platforms on prominent
verkramptes by equally
prominent verligtes.

And the verkramptes have
replied by circulating a se-
cret “hit-list” of verligtes on
the executive committee
they would like to see
removed.

‘The verligtes named in the
list earlier this year included
the editor of Die Transvaler,
Dr Wimpie de Klerk, and Sa-
sol chairman Mr David de
Villiers.

‘Ten names on the short-list

were named as being men
who should be supported and
promoted.

They included Prof Bos-
hoff; the editor of the CP's
newspaper, Die Patriot, and
former director of the
Tightwing Sabra, the South
African Bureau of Racial Af-
fairs (of which Prof Boshoff
is chairman), Dr Chris
Jooste; the head of the power-
ful Transvaalse Onderwys-



and independence. This will sow seeds of hatred for the American people
among all Somalis wherever they may be in the world, the press statement
says.

The DFSS press statement stresses that the political principles of the
DFSS are based on nonalignment. It does not attach itself to any power
and is also firmly opposed to the idea of becoming a puppet of foreign
forces and thus jeopardizing the independence, freedom and dignity of
the Somali people.

The Reagan administration sees all internal rifts within Africa or other
countries in the Third World as the work of the USSR, but this can never
be an excuse for the Reagan administration's planned oppression and
subjugation of all the rising forces within the developing countries.

The DFSS, the press statement says, unswervingly believes that no amount
of arms and ammunition will be able to deter or destroy the Somali
people's hopes of victory for their freedom. The arms airlifted to
Siad Barre's regime will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the gallant
DFSS fighters who are fighting for a just cause.

The DFSS press statement concludes by asking the American Government for
the answer to the following simple question: Has the American Government
led by Mr Reagan, a conservative man, transformed itself from the
sanctuary of democracy into a haven for dictators and destroyers of
democracy?

GOVERNMENT DEALS PROBE--Is the South African electronics industry heading
for a major upheaval? Business Times has ascertained that the Department
of Industries, Commerce and Tourism plans to announce this week a wide-
ranging investigation into the R2 000-million industry. Officials are tight-
lipped about the nature and scope of the inquiry, but there is speculation
in the industry that the Auditor-General may have come across certain alleged
irregularities in the course of the continuous investigation that his office
conducts into Government supply contracts. The Auditor-General, Alexander
Ellis, is not prepared to comment on this speculation and points out that he
is required to report to Parliament, But the managing director of one elec-
tronics company tells Business Times that "startling discoveries" have
resulted in reforming action affecting the industry. It may be the case that
the pending announcement by the Department of Industries will bear this out.

PRESS GAG--The Press would not be able to report on issues of conflict
between the White, Coloured and Asian Chambers of Parliament while such
issues were still being deliberated by the joint committees of the three
chambers, Mr Chris Heunis, who becomes Minister of Constitutional Affairs
today, told The Citizen. Mr Heunis explained that the debates and discus-
sions of the so-called joint committees would be handled according to rules
of committees, and said the Press would not be able to publish any of the
arguments in the committees, The joint committees would go into action when
matters of conflict arose between any of the three Chambers of Parliament
in the new political system, announced at the weekend, If the joint commit-
tees could not reach consensus on any matter the Executive President could
decide to request the President's Council to consider the issue of conflict,

President will execute it." [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English

output in Venda and in this way promoting the national economy, Agriven was
established in April this year to take over the increasingly specialised
agricultural development previously handled by the Venda Agricultural Corpo-
ration, Assets and responsibilities taken over include production projects,
participation in projects with outside companies, organisation of production
and marketing schemes for private Venda farmers and the loan financing of
individual Venda producers. Mr Oosthuizen said that crops and products
produced included grain, milk, meat, eggs, subtropical fruit, tea, coffee
and vegetables for the local market and export. Job creation and the

A second tricky problem involves the siting of the LNG
plant. Some western companies have discreetly suggested to
Camerounian government officials that building the complex
close to the major gas deposits would make economic sense.
However, for political considerations Ahidjo wants the Kribi site,
on the grounds that it would help develop this backward area by
building a port and other transport facilities which would also
permit the opening up of the region's hinterland, particularly its

mincral and forestry resources. A perhaps more important factor
in Ahidjo’s calculations is preventing English-speaking western
Cameroun from possessing an integrated natural gas industry on
its territory. So far, most of Caméroun’s hydrocarbon wealth has
been found in this part of the country, and many westerners no
longer hide the fact that they are not getting a fair share of the
oil and gas profits. Already the new refinery has been built at
Nimbe, with most of the oil industry installations nearby. In
order to prevent westerners from developing a “Biafra complex”,
Kribi was thus the political choice for the LNG complex. (Pre-
viously, the government underlined technical reasons for this
choice, saying that half the gas reserves were thought to be in
central-southern Cameroun). Senior officials might find it hard
justifying the extra cost of hooking up Rio del Rey gasfields to
Kribi through hundreds of kilometres of costly pipeline. Mean-
while, Elf Aquitaine has made an impressive onshore oil
discovery in the Douala region, which Camerounian officials
hope will open up a second production region, thereby lessening
the hydrocarbon pretensions of the westerners.

Official production last year was 4.6m tonnes, and some 6m
tonnes are in the pipeline for 1982. The government never tires
of playing down in public the extent of its oil reserves, but
western oil companies expect a bonanza. Already petrodollars
are awash in Douala and Yaoundé, and the population is increas-
ingly perplexed by the secrecy shrouding the utilisation of these
funds (AC Vol 22 No 24). Austerity and hard effort may be the
official watchwords, but the Camerounian élite seems more
intent on leading the high-life. We note with interest that last
year Cameroun edged ahead of the Ivory Coast as Africa’s largest
importer of French champagne. it bought over 560,000 bottles @

Thaho could not claim that it was just cause to refuse to testify on the
grounds that he did not want to give evidence against a black brother and
that there were pressures in the community preventing him from doing so.

MAYOR'S ACTS BLAMED FOR DEPRESSED CITY
Johannesburg THE STAR in English 16 Jul 82 p 13
[Article by Brendan Seery]

[text] Harare--The industrial heart of the Zimbabwe midlands and the
country's third largest city, Gweru (formerly Gwelo), is threatend with
economic stagnation--and the blame is being laid at the feet of its contro-
versial mayor Councillor Patrick Kombayi.

Businessmen and residents in the city which is situated on the country's
main railway junction, claim the actions of the mayor, a former train driver
turned businessman, have turned Gweru into the most depressed city in the
country.

Independent member of Parliament for the midlands area, Mr Henry Elsworth
described morale in Gweru as being at an all time low.

Mr Elsworth told Parliament that Mr Kombayi seemed to have assumed powers
beyond all recognition for one man,

Many people were thinking of leaving Gweru not for another country but for
another town in Zimbabwe where they could feel happier, added Mr Elsworth.

Actions and statements by the mayor, but also by the mainly black city
council were doing the city immeasurable harm, said the President of the
town's chamber of commerce, Mr John Peen, when addressing its members at
the end of last year,

Incidents
"As a chamber we know of at least six commercial enterprises which have
shelved plans to move into Gweru and we have been advised that several

existing businesses intend to colse," he said.

Among the more controversial incidents Councillor Kombayi has been
involved in are:

SOUTH AFRICA

CHRONIC STRIFE AT FORT HARE UNIVERSITY DEPLORED

Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 5 Aug 82 p 4

[editorial]

{text] MUCH as we are used to strife at
universities, what seems to be

, happening almost chronically at
Fort Hare is ominous.

It is perhaps unfair to infer
from this distance what is actu-
ally afoot, but one can speculate
with a certain amount of cer-

: tainty. The first speculation is
that the proximity of the Ciskei to
this one-time citadel of black
education is most unfortunate...

This is not an unreasonable

; assumption, particularly in view
of the somewhat unhappy
relationship the Sebe brothers
seem to have with students
there.

Almost half the students have
left campus for one reason or
another. This is a crucial time of
the year and we cannot see black
students being so irresponsible
as to risk their careers and per-
haps the sacrifices by their par-
ents for a mere whim.

We think the reason given by
the rector about radicalism is
specious, to say the least. All

“universities have a radical ele-
ment, which one way or the other

We have voiced fears about
the nearness of the Ciskeian oli-
garchy to this university. It is not
something new to see the Sebe
brothers, Mr Lennox Sebe and
Mr Charles Sebe, react with
some ruthlessness to dissenting
voices:

‘There has béén.controntation
between the Ciskei Security
Police and the students. Our un-
happy experience even here sug-
gests that the Security Police in
the homelands have senseless
viciousness.

This kind of thing has been
honed to a religion almost by
Charles Sebe, who is in our eyes
extremely dangerous.

No matter that Fort Hare is so
far removed from townships
such as Soweto; we can perhaps
advise Chief Sebe and his
brother that meddling with edu-
cation is the way of most dicta-
tors. It is also history that such
men do not keep their power for
long.

South African students have
shown that they can be a force to
be reckoned with. We would sim-
ply hate to see the whole messy

business started all over again
simply because there are “radi-
cal” students at Fort Hare.

GHANA

OAU SUMMIT BOYCOTT CONDEMNED
4B100836 Accra Domestic Service in English 0700 GMT 10 Aug 82
[Press review]

[Text] THE GHANAIAN TIMES writes on the just-ended 19th OAU summit. It
says what has happened to the summit in Tripoli emphasizes the argument
which progressive African governments and friends of Africa have made

all along, that the sustained attempts by some imperialist powers to
isolate Libya is really directed at sabotaging the OAU in order to destroy
the unity of African countries.

But the attendance in Tripoli shows that the attempt to isolate Libya has
received a firm rebuff from Africa. Of the 18 African leaders who did
not attend the summit, THE TIMES says, some did not attend because of
the personal lack of relationship between them and Colonel al-Qadhdhafi
and they boycotted Tripoli just to show him. Others refused to go as a
tactical maneuver to get financial aid from the west while the rest obey
the voice of their imperialist masters.

The paper maintains that the absence of President Sekou Toure of Guinea
from the summit offers the clearest clue that the real aim of the
imperialist powers in trying to make the ‘summit a failure is to destroy
African unity. What the imperialist powers really seek to do is to start
a process of degeneration in the ranks of the OAU toward the eventual
destruction of African unity. In this way the process of degeneration
will continue to worsen. But THE TIMES notes that such prospects are
miscalculated, for the leaders who went to Tripoli include all those
who would not abandon the African cause for anything and would stick

in conference with other African leaders for the continent's sake, even
if they hold daggers at each other's throats.

THE TIMES points out that the African revolution can never be stopped

and more radical and progressive countries will emerge with even greater
commitment to African unity. It says African leaders who can be prevailed
upon to do such a treacherous thing as seeking the disruption of the OAU
are on their way out one after the other.

DETENTION OF SAAWU'S KIKINE FOUND ‘STRANGE!

Johannesburg RAND DAILY MAIL in English 23 Jul 82 p 8

(Article by Anne Sacks]

[Text]

THE detention for eight months of
Mr Sam Kikine, general secretary of
the SA Allied Workers Union
(SAAWU), who faces charges of ter-
rorism in Durban next month, has
been marked by a series of legal
wrangles.

And the lengthy detentions of his
two colleagues, the SAAWU presi-
dent, Mr Thozamile Gqweta — de-
tained at least five times before —
and SAAWU vice-presient, Mr Sisa
Njikelane, have also been unusual.

Mr Kikine, who was allowed out on
bail, will appear in the Durban Mag-
istrate’s Court on August 6.

He was detained in Durban on No-
vember 27 last year and held in terms
of Section 22 of the General Laws
Amendment Act. Two weeks later, he
was held in terms of Section Six of the
Terrorism Act, which provides for

On June 28, he appeared in the
Johannesburg Regional Court togeth-

in connection with charges under the

again on August 6.

Legal sources said it was unusual
for an accused due to face a Terror-
ism Act charge to be released on bail.

When Mr Gqweta and Mr Njike-
lane appeared in a Grahamstown
court, the magistrate told them he
had no jurisdiction over their case,
and that they were being transferred
to East London.

They are due to appear again in an

SIERRA LEONE

PLANE CRASH SHAKES CONFIDENCE IN SOVIET AVIATION
Freetown DAILY MAIL in English 26 Jul 82 pp 1, 2

(Editorial

[Text] The fact that up till now no word has come from the Soviet authorites
giving the minute details of how that doomed Ilyushin plane crashed on July 6
with twenty-three Sierra Leoneans aboard does not augur well for Sierra
Leonean confidence in Soviet aviation and the officialdom around that avia-
tion.

The big question of what caused the plane crash will predictably not get an
answer for a record long time considering the period of time involved in
getting a precise report on how it happened.

And yet, the scores of families that have been seriously affected by the loss
of those valuable Sierra Leonean lives demand the detailed facts.

Not to talk of the hundreds of people who have lost their intimate friends
or the millions of Sierra Leoneans and other Africans who are greatly shocked

and deeply concerned that their people were involved in such a gruesome
crash,

This newspaper is constantly receiving calls from frustrated members of the

public who hope some glimmerings of the facts might be coming through via
the mss media,

The truth is that there is something of a panic over traveling with Soviet
planes these days.

Many terrified parents and relatives of students in the Soviet Union have
frantically warned their loved ones not to dare out with those planes
despite earlier holiday plans.

For a majority of students, we are told, those parental warnings were not
even necessary,

personnel through Comrade Yevgeniy Petrovich Russakov, a CCSTU representative.

The birth of the trade union movement in Guinea and Africa; the designing,
development and enforcement of production standards in enterprises; the
structure, organization, operation and management of the Agro-Pastoral
District Farms (FAPA), and agricultural cooperatives in Guinea, their
impact on the revolutionizing of the countryside; the PDG [Gabonese
Democratic Party] cultural and social policy--such were the topics presented
and developed respectively by Comrades Lancine Syla, Ibrahima Diallo, both
members of the CNTG National Trade Union Council, Senainon Behanzin, BPN
[National Political Bureau] secretary, minister of FAPA's and agricultural
cooperatives and Galema Guilavogui, a Central Committee member and minister

international trade union movement, the participation of workers in manage-
ment of enterprises, the structure of the capitalist method of production
and the socialist method of production, and finally the stranglehold of
monopolistic capital and the aggravation of social contradictions in the
capitalist countries.

The contribution of our country's trade union cadres to this seminar will have

GWEMBE BARTER SYSTEM PROBED
Lusaka DAILY MAIL in English 29 Jul 82 p 5

[text] Gwembe district governor Mr Nicholas Nchimunya has launched
investigations into the illegal exchange of emeralds for bags of mealie-
meal between villagers and illegal miners from the Copperbelt.

Mr Nchimunya said yesterday that he would probe reports that illegal
emerald diggers were flocking into the area with truck loads of mealie
meal which they barter with the precious stone from unsuspecting villagers.

"We were caught completely unaware about the reported racket and we have
since instituted investigations to find out the truth," he said,

According to reports from the area, the illegal miners are taking advantage
of the famine which has hit Gwembe to exchange mealie-meal with emeralds
which villagers pick up in hilly parts of the area,

Gwembe district executive secretary Mr Lazarus Nkazi said recently that he
had heard reports of villagers picking stones in the hills but he did not
know of any "invasion" of the area by the illegal miners.

It was also reported that strangers were spotted in several villages where
elderly villagers are enticed to exchange their emeralds for mealie meal to
feed their starving families.

Some of the emeralds diggers combing the area have erected makeshift houses
in the hills where they conduct their trade.

MOZAMBIQUE

COFFEE PRODUCTION PLANS DESCRIBED
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 10 Jul 82 p 8
[Article by Bejamim Faduco, Zambezia)

[Excerpts] More than 300 hectares are being grown in the fields
of Gurue and in nurseries. Plantations to be extended to other
parts of country. More than 170,000 coffee trees have already
grown to a height of 1 m in the hills of Monte Branco, in Gurue,
region of Upper Zambezia. The coffee trees, which during this
phase cover a land area of 160 hectares, represent an important
experiment which is being conducted in Mozambique for the first
time with a view to the industrialization of this product.
During the next 1982-1983 agricultural season, another 200
hectares of coffee trees will be transplanted to the fields,
according to what our reporter learned on the spot.

Large-scale coffee cultivation during this phase in Gurue is an integral part of
the manpower stabilization program in that region of the country where various
integrated production activities are planned in EMOCHA.

The project belonging to this tea-producing enterprise is being carried out with
the support of Tanzanian technicians. Right now, four specialists from that
neighboring country are living in Gurue to guarantee the execution of the project.

The coffee variety now being tested in Gurue is of Arabic origin and is known by
the name "Arabian coffee"; it also includes other "Arabian" lines but those were
brought in from Portugal and Malawi.

Training of Mozambicans

A group of seven Mozambicans will go to Tanzania this year where they will spe-
cialize in coffee cultivation for about 1 year.

The coffee cultivation project, which is being run by Tanzanian technicians, also

includes the rehabilitation of the so-called "Robusta coffee" which is very abun-
dant in the country's provinces, where its cultivation was introduced in the past.

IT had to nappen at Wits, of course.

A liberal institution which, in the past, has
been known for incidents like the shout-
ing down of a Minister and the burning
of a South African flag.

Now we have members of the Black Stu-
dents’ Society clashing with members of
the Wits branch of the South African
Union of Jewish Students.

The cause? The Israeli invasion of the Le-
banon.

Members of the Black Students’ Society,
consisting of Blacks and Indians, support
the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

The Jewish students are pro-Israel.

You’d have thought that each faction
would have respected the other’s right to
state its views without hindrance.

Even though it is a disgrace that any
South African student organisation
should support the PLO, which has play-
ed a leading role in worldwide terrorism.

However, the Black Students’ Society,
mouthing the usual platitudes about
Zionist aggression and racism, provocati-
vely called for “Solidarity with the PLO”
at a time when the Jewish students were
holding their Israel Week.

The Jewish students, while emotionally in-
volved in the Israeli cause, should have
known better than to counter the pro-
PLO demonstration by surrounding the
lecture theatre where it, was held and
chanting, “No, no, PLO.”

The company sources

Zisco’s predicament:
plummeting exports and

This resulted in the

SA ETHANOL FUELS PRODUCTION DUE TO BEGIN

SOUTH AFRICA

Johannesburg SUNDAY TIMES-BUSINESS TIMES in English 25 Jul 82 p 10

[Article by John Spiral]

[Text]

SA ETHANOL Fuels, the ethanol-
from-sawdust company launched
two years ago, will soon be produc-
ing pyrolitic oil — a total replace-
ment for diesel. So claims Ken
Buckerfield, the company’s chief

executive.

He says that production of ethanol
from the company’s Tzaneen plant has

been deferred

ecause the cost of a plant

to produce pyrolitic oil is a fraction of
the cost of an ethanol plant — “and

money is extremely

tight”.

ir Buckerfield informs
Business Times that he has
been heavily involved «in
talks with the Department of
Mineral and Energy Affairs,
and hopes to get its approval
for his scheme “within two
weeks”.

He expects to manufacture
100 000 litres of pyrolitic oil a
month, from which SA Eth-
anol Fuels will earn R30 000
a month, building up to
R400 000 a month 18 months
from now.

Thereafter, as a result of
reinvestment of profits, the
company will begin making
ethanol.

According to Mr Bucker-
field, a major oil company
‘will take over the marketing
#of the pyrolitic oil:

* “He says, too, that one of
South Africa’s largest public
companies has sent an inves-
tigating team to inspect his
company’s plant and is “keen
to take over control”.

cso: 4700/1675

“However, I'm not pre-
pared to sell control when we
are on the verge of achieving
a major breakthrough.”

He confirms that SA Eth-

anol Fuels tis: still selling
shares in the company at
.300c each — and has been
doing so since # pablished a
istatement in lieu of a pro-
* spectus in May 1981.

“But,” adds Mr Bucker-
field, “it isn’t easy, because
we are being discredited by

ushers of shares in other un-
listed companies who are rip-
ping off the public.

“Thus far, we have invest-
ed more’ than Ri-million
(much of it from the sale of
shares to the public) in the
Project.”

Business Times was ap-

roached this week by one of
fs readers who claimed that
e had béen, offered shares in
SA Ethanol Fuels by a direc-
jor of the company (a Mr
pBroekhuizen) at 200c a share.

127

» He had been oftered shares
in the company a year ago at
300c each, at, which time the
company’s share salesmen
urged him to buy on the basis
that the shares would double
in two years and rise to R10
in five years.

The current sales pitch, he
says, holds out the following
carrots:

@SA Ethanol Fuels has ap-
plied for a Government loan,
which, it is confident, will be

! granted “within the next few
months”.

@SA Breweries is interested
in helping the company —
“either financially or by way
of buying shares”.

@The offer of shares was
submitted on the basis of a
document dated May 21 1981
containing out-of-date
figures.

@ The company is now pro-
ducing dieseline, methanol
and ethanol.

@ “SA Ethanol Fuels is short
of money at the moment, and

at would be a pity if such a
wonderful opportunity to get
involved in a potentially big
organisation was to be
missed.”

That the company is short
of money is quite clear from
a long list of judgments (ex-
ttacted from Dun's Gazette)
recently lodged against it
and totalling more than
R10 000.

When the SA Ethanol Fuels
scheme was first publicised,
it was stated that the com-
any had bought a million
ns of sawdust in the forest-
ry area of Tzaneen as well as
a redundant power station
with a view to producing eth-
anol commercially. '

Mr Buckerfield then said:
“We should be producing 2,5-
million litres of ethanol b;
December 1981 and 110-mil-
lion litres a year by 1985-86.

“By 1985 the company
could have a turnover of
around R40-million — and I
don't. mind paying tax on
that.”



Moreover, benefitting from the rich experiences of our two trade union
organizations through their respective activities, the present seminar was
a success.

The CNIG, our revolutionary group of affiliated trade unions, the lucky heir
of the first trade unionist's rich experience, is today engaged in our
nation's great battle for independent economic and social development. This
dynamic role, which it has been playing since our country's accession to
independence on 2 October 1958, permanently imposes on its obligations to the
center including ideological and political trade union education, vocational
training and advanced worker training. This training of the working class in
Guinea has been expanded by the CNTG, and Comrade Sekou Magassouba, secretary
general of the CNIG, corroborated this in his closing speech in these words,
"In order to be efficient, the role that fell to the CNTG within the framework
of advanced worker training must not be limited to a moe or less restricted
category or number, but it must be oriented toward all workers in order for
each in his sector of activity to be able to develop his political conscience
and his vocational capacities, while mastering perfect knowledge of the
objectives and means, with a clear view of the necessary stages, of our
Revolution." In order to do so, the CNIG secretary general advocated
adapting the system of trade union advanced training to national realities
and the exigencies of the moment.

It was in order to realize this militant obligation that the CNTIG, in chosing
topics, developed all the activities of our Revolution during this seminar.
Thus the choice of the topics of structure, organization, operation and
management of the Agro-Pastoral Farms and the agricultural cooperatives and
their impact on the revolutionizing of the countryside adequately conveys the
good intentions of our group of affiliated trade unions in this field.

Comrade Senainon Behanzin, secretary of the BPN, minister of FAPA's and
agricultural cooperatives had previously emphasized in his statement that
success requires workers in all sectors, politically officered by the
National Workers Committee, the Regional Workers Committees, the District
Workers Committees, the CUP [expansion unknown] and the trade union sections,
to remain mobilized to develop and produce these "technical objects" without
which no technology can be realized in the field. This obvious fact
requires the rural CAT [territorial administration centers] and all the

CRT [expansion unknown] to officer the FAPA's with vigilant and constant
care."

BUMPER PRICE CROP PREDICTED FOR THIS YEAR

PRE Ogun State
Chairman of the
Green Revolution Co-
ordinating Commit-
tee, Alhaji J.A.
Akindele, hag predicted
a bumper ‘rice pro-
duction during this
year’s harvesting

period.

Alhaji Akindele
made the prediction in
Abeokuta after the
end of his state wide
inspection tour of co-.
operative farmers pro-
jects in the state.

The co-operative
grow s which owned

e farms are benefi-
ciaries of ‘Federal

‘amme -during the
1981/82 planting sea-
son.

He said that judging
from what he had seen
during his tour, Ogun
State would likely have
abundance ‘of:rice very

soon.

He then ¢alled on the
Federal Government to
assist vanous groups of
farmers in the state with

‘the “necessary . farm
equipment such as boom
sprayer and chemicals in

55

order that the much
publicised green revolu-
tion programme can
achieve its desired goal.

Alhaji Akindele also
suggested that the land
clearing be done for each
group of farmers during

-the planting season in
order to avert late
‘plantintg of crops.

; The ‘chairman also
‘advised that the idea of
givingrawcasntotarmers
to prepare lands for
plantation should be dis-
couraged. This, he said,
is because from experi-
ence a lot of farmers who
obtained money for land
clearing purposes diver-
ted such money tairrele-
vant things.

Alhaji Akindele also
suggested that loan

farmers’ should .be in-
creased from 1,000 to
say 41,500 or N2000 per
group or co-operative
farmers in view of the

trends.

About 41.5 million

HORWOOD FORESEES UPSWING FOR GOLD

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 6 Aug 82 p 11

[text]

cso:

THE Minister of Fi-
nance, Mr Owen Hor-
wood, said yesterday
that South Africa’s
economy was “basi-
cally sound and
strong” — and pre-
dicted an upturn in
the gold price towards
the end of the year.

He said there was
“absolutely no. cause
for pessimism” but
“good reason for re-
alism and a prepared-
ness to adjust to
changed © circum-
stances”.

The real danger was
complacency and a ten-
dency to live beyond
one’s means, he said.

“To a greater or less-
er degree we have all
been caught up in the
euphoria of the past
few years and the ad-
justment to a fast-
changing situation will
exact its price.”

The negative ele-
ments of South Africa’s
situation were demand
that was too high in re-
lation’ to productive
sources and imports

4700/1687

which although falling,
were still running at
too high a‘level; infla-
tion; the relatively low
gold price and its uncer-
tain trend in the im-
mediate future; mer-
chandised exports that
had been hit by “the
parlous state of the so-
called world economy”;
and the current ac-
count, which was con-
siderably in the red.

Opening the annual
conference of the South
African Property Own-
ers’ Association, in
Durban, Mr Horwood
said the country would
have to continue to fol-
low conservative fiscal
policies.

The causes of the
present. state of the
economy were entirely
beyond South Africa’s
control.

They were the econ-
omic stagnation of the
country’s main trading
partners and the drop
in the gold price.

However, he would
not be surprised if gold
started to make a come-

124

back later in the year.
The good news was
that the economy was
basically sound and
strong and, in addition,
remarkably versatile.

It was important to
take stock of the coun-
try’s advantages — and
they were, happily,
many.

“There is our impres-
sive quantum of re-
sources, material and
human alike; our ex-
tensive and well devel-
oped infrastructure in-
cluding a sophisticated
financial structure; the
skill and dynamish of
our private sector; and
the competence and
dedication of our public
service.” .

In fact the economy
was performing signifi-
cantly better than some
commentators claimed,
and significantly better
than that of almost
every other country in
the world, where vast
unemployment and zero
or negative growth
rates were the order of
the day.

STEYN URGED TO IMPROVE BLACK EDUCATION

SOUTH AFRICA

Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 4 Aug 82 p 4

(Editorial:

[Text]

A NEW Minister of Education and
Training was this week sworn in,
and immediately pledged that his
department was committed to the
long-term goal of equal education
opportunity for all the population
groups in this country.

Mr Danie Steyn officially took
over this position — left vacant by
Dr Ferdie Hartzenburg when he
joined the Conservative Party.

We would wish to accept that Mr
Steyn’s pledge is possible. However,
we are afraid a lot more than the
talk that has been going on needs to
be done if we are to be anywhere
near getting a balance in the educa-
tional status quo.

Mr Steyn hopes to achieve some-
thing that is practically impossible.
The growth in the number of blacks
at school will make sure that, unless
the Government is, prepared to
spend much more on black educa-
tion than it is doing at the moment,
this growth will always outstrip any
development plans.

108

"Give us Action, Not Words"]

For far too long, the Government
has been able to find money for all
sorts of things, but not for black
education. Indeed, there would not
have been such a great need for this
if the Government had accepted that
existing facilities should be utilised a
lot more economically.

i The duplication of university
facilities, for instance, has often
come under heavy fire. But the Gov-
ernment insists on providing “separ-
ate, but equal” facilities for the dif-
ferent race. groups. WI doing
this, existing universities have
pointed out that the money could
have been better used for the provi-
sion of more facilities at those uni-
versities, and then have them
opened to all races.

Also, if all education in this coun-
try was handled by one department,
| we would have a better and stream-
lined effort to right the wrongs of
previous Government Ministers,
and we would at least be on the right



DR TREURNICHT SLAMS NEW GOVERNMENT POLICY

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 3 Aug 82 pp 1, 2

[Article by Jaap Theron]

[text]

THE Nationalist Gov-
ernment were “inte-
grationists, power
sharers, the sell-outs of
the White man’s heri-
tage and betrayers of
Whites _self-determina-
tion and identity,” Dr
Andries _‘Treurnicht,
leader of the Conserva-
tive Party’ (CP), said at
the opening of his par-
ty’s first congress in Pre-
toria last night.

Dr Treurnicht said of
the Prime Minister's ad-
dress “that his claim
that he has a mandate to
power sharing” was

wrong.

“The White voters’ re-
ply to Mr P W Botha’s
claim is: You have no
mandate to give a mixed
government to the
Whites.”

He warned Mr Botha
“not to be brave by insti-
tuting a policy of inte-
gration.”

He said Mr Botha was
co-responsible for re-
moving Brown people
‘from the municipal vot-
ers roles in the Cape,
“because he was afraid
that a Coloured would
be elected as mayor in

the Western Cape.”

Accuse
Dr Treurnicht said
there were certain
people — “progressives
and neo-progressives in
the National Party —
who accuse the CP of an
unChristian attitude be-
cause we refuse to en-
dorse integration or to
accept power sharing.
“We know what it
means to be a Christian.
You accept Christ as
your saviour and as
King. You believe in His
atonement and re-
conciliation.
“You live according to
the ethical norms of the
Bible. You strive for jus-

tice towards all men and
all peoples and you prac-
tise love for your neigh-
bour.

“But you are not a
Christian just because
you blame your own
people for everything
that goes wrong in

tian just because you

“You need not destroy

to become a good Chris-

embrace and propagate
multiracialism in socie-
ty, in the church, in edu-

‘become recognised as a

“You can share many
blessings without shar-
ing power,” Dr Treur-
nicht said.

Attacking the Govern-
ment, he said: “Don't
confuse a lack of mascu-
linity with Christian hu-
mility.

Capitulation

“And don’t think the
only way in which White
justice can be executed
is by way of capitula-
tion,” he said.

Dr Treurnicht said
there was a danger that
Whites, over years of
concessions, could be

One student said he had been in a group that had been forced off the campus
by the Ciskei Police last Thursday, He had just written a test and he and
a group had been forced to leave the campus without being allowed to collect
their luggage from the hostel.

"I was with Mr Jackson and he promised to put us up in his room for the

night. Police intercepted us and rudely told Mr Jackson to have nothing to
do with us," the student said,

Police had taken Mr Jackson away and he was said to have been held "for
hours."

On his release he blamed the university authorities for neglecting its
responsibilities and leaving students stranded and hungry thousands of miles
from their homes, Hundreds of students spent the night in the open after
their removal from the campus and eviction from South African Railways
property,

A spokesman for the university yesterday confirmed Mr Jackson's suspension.
He said thelecturer had made Press statements violating the terms of his
contract with the university.

"He can talk as much as he likes about discipline, but he is not allowed to
make Press statements about the university's discipline," the spokesman
said,

Ciskei Police authorities could yesterday not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, the students who are back home on the Reef are to hold a meeting

at the Holy Cross Church near Cross Roads in White City tonight. The
meeting, which starts at 6 pm is to explain to parents “our side of the story,"

[Answer] There will be no policy of vengence or bitterness. Some changes
might be necessary, but, in general, there will be nothing out of the ordinary.
Besides, at 1300 hours we met all the permanent secretaries to tell them that
they have nothing to be afraid of and that they must be loyal to the country
and to the present government, which needs their complete cooperation.

LA NATION: What are your commitments abroad? Will you go to the OAU summit
in Tripoli?

[Answer] Tradition would have me go. But not necessarily. The priority is to
solve the problems of the country. I do not plan on traveling except when
absolutely necessary.

[Question] What do you plan to do about the Mauritians' contract in Diego
Garcia? When will the process aimed at obtaining the retrocession of the archi-
pelago begin? .

[nswer] We do not agree with the contract, but it will be honored. As for the
retrocession of the archipelago, we do not have the means to conduct a Falklands
war. We will make efforts in the diplomatic sphere, in the international
forums with the help of India and of the countries of the Indian Ocean. Then
we will fight for the demilitarization of the zone. The Americans and the
Russians must go and establish their bases nearer home.

[Question] And if your campaign fails, what will your attitude be toward
the United States?

[Answer] We must not be pessimistic. We will see, in the light of events.

[Question] What will the government's attitude be on the subject of the PRB
[expansion unknown] and on the promised 30 percent raise in wages?

[Answer] The PRB report does not exist. It was rejected by the outgoing
government and the trade unions. As for wages, we feel that those who are at
the bottom of the ladder deserve 30 percent. I hope that my minister of
finance will study the question. Which does not in any way mean that those
highly paid would have a right to to the same compensation.

[Question] What will you do for the unemployed graduates?

[Answer] There are not only unemployed graduates, there are the others. We can-
not create artificial jobs. We will study the question closely.

[Question] The choice of ministers caused discontent. Mr Jugdish Goburdhun
alleges that meritocracy was not respected. What do you think?

[Answer] That is one opinion. Opinions differ. I can assure you that merito-
cracy was the criterium. We chose colleagues who could "deliver the goods."
That is what we will be judged on in 5 years.

[Question] Do you plan on recalling any ambassadors?

KAUNDA SAYS HOUSING PROBLEMS TASK FORCE TO BE SET UP SOON

A POWERFUL task force to work out

The President made the announcement in Ndola
yesterday when he officially opened the K10.1 million

The President, who also laid a foundation stone at the ZSIC
regional headquarters along President Avenue, said the task force
would consist of officials from Zimco, National Housing Authority,
Zambia State Insurance Corporation, Workmen’s Compensation
Fund, Zambia National Provident Fund and Zambia National Buil-
ding Society.

The President directed that the Zambia National Insurance

Brokers should cease being a subsidiary or even an associated .

company of the ZSIC and become a subsidiary of Zimco for it to act
impartially when urging cases against ZSIC for policy holders.

He said because of the role the ZNIB played in making claims
for policy holders it should be independent of the ZSIC which was
an interested party in such matters.

In order to facilitate the journalists’ work, the minister of information
intends to create in the very near future a post of liaison officer to pass
information on to the press about the various ministries. He said that he
is in favor of creating a national press agency which would be expected to
reduce our dependence on foreign press agencies.

The minister of information said that he will not tolerate foreign inter-
ference through the local press; he also stressed that the government cannot
grant subsidies to newspapers.

Under the new government, a journalist may accompany the prime minister or

other ministers on extremely important trips. Harish Boodhoo intends to
raise this matter with his colleagues.
