CHAMBER OF MINES USES CHILLED WATER TECHNIQUE

Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 21 Dec 82 p 17

[Text]

cso:

WATER could’ become
the prime source of power
for driving machines in
deep’ mines, says the
Chamber of Mines in its
latest newsletter.

It says this “revolution-

ary” concept if being de- !

veloped by its research

organisation in conjunc- -

tion with “several gold
mines. °

The chamber said. the
movement away from
conventional “ oil-based
hydraulics, through dilute
oil-in-water emulsions to
plain water, had meant
the” development of a

‘whole new power tech-..

nology.

The technique of ‘using
chilled service water to
cool deep mines devel-
oped by the Chamber ‘of
Mines research organisa-
tion had operated suc-
éessfully in a number of

gold mines since the mid- :

..1970s. Today there: were
33. shafts equipped with
such systems. .

A subsequent develop-
ment had been the intro-
duction .of energy recov-
ery devices, in which the
water flowing down into
the-mines ‘was used to

3400/469

“drive. a turbine, which in”

turn, provided power for .
pumps ‘and other ma-
chinery. :
. “Now, following exten-
sive research and devel-
opment into the use of hy-
draulic and hydro-power,
it should ultimately be
possible to .use mine ser-

- vice water not only to

cool mines, but also to®
drive machinery by utilis-
ing the hydrostatic press-
ure in the shaft column,”
says the newsletter.”
Hydraulic power had
long been regarded as an
ideal power medium for
driving stoping machinery,
and as an alternative to
the pneumatic power now
being used in gold mines.
Hydraulic drills being
developed by the research
organisation had. energy
efficiencies. which were
potentially many" times
greater than those of
pneumatically operated”

Problems had occurred
with the practical applica-
tion’ of oil-hydraulics in
gold mine stoping and ex-
perience with oil-hydraul-
ic equipment had shown

22

SOUTH AFRICA

that it was impossible to
prevent leakages of fluid
from the systems.

It was also found that
even the most attractive
features of oil — lubrica-
tion and corrosion protec-
tion — could not be used
to the full, mainly be-
‘cause of environmental
| factors. The researchr or-
- ganisation had therefore

been compelled to look
} for a suitable alternative
| tooil. :

| The only known tech-
_ nology which had showed

! any likelihood of being
suitable was that based on
the use of dilute oilrin-
water emulsions, . the
.Chamber said.

These fluids contained
95 percent water and
were therefore sufficient-
ly inexpensive and non-
polluting for use in
stopes.

However, this technol-
ogy had only been devel-
oped for very restricted
applications.

The research organisa-
tion-had then embarked
on an intensive develop-
ment programme.

Ship Without a Captain

On 6 May 1982, 12 imams of Ouagadougou sent a letter to the minister
of the interior and security stating, "We do not recognize this

board as the result of the work of the.general assembly." However,
backstage, an attempt was made to bridge the gap. A committee of

12 people was formed to get the community out of its quagmire. There,
too, people left embittered. Some called for the board's suspension
as a prerequisite to any reconciliation. Others opposed this. The
problems got worse every month. Pitched battles were barely avoided.
The Friday wazzou on the radio were suspended. Appeals for reconcilia-
tion increased. Nothing could be done. Like a ship without a
captain, the Moslem community is sinking while millions of believers
look on helplessly.

If we look a little, we see that the failure of the last congress is
the result of the leaders',inability to rid the community of the evils
engendered by money, playing politics, fanaticism and unsuitable
structures.

Money-Hungry Community

Curiously enough, the great Moslem community is money hungry. Since
money encourages corruption, people at various levels are involved in
financial scandals. El Hadj Salif Compaore, who is doing battle on
this matter, places the first embezzlements during the term of his
uncle, El Hadj Amadou Louis Ouedraogo, community president from 1973
to 1977.

Libya granted 15 million francs to the community to complete the
renovation of the great mosque of Ouagadougou. Without consulting
the board, he gave the entire sum to El Hadj Issouf Kabore to do
the work. Salif Compaore continued: "The Libyans came to check on
the progress of the work 6 months later. Nothing had been done. At
that moment, the board was informed of the Libyan grant."

The board denounced this "fraudulent arrangement" and called for public
bidding. Amadou OQuedraogo refused to reverse his decision. Several
board members threatened to stone regularly any worker who touched

the mosque. The call for bids brought an estimate of 15 million
francs. Then El Hadj Ouedraogo begged the board to ‘award the contract
to Mr Kabore. The latter had already spent 7 million francs.

Mr Issouf Kabore promised to reply 4 million and make up the remainder
for the project. "We accepted to prevent the worst," he concluded.

The accession of El Hadj Kanazoe in 1977 as head of the executive board

in no way diminished the greed for money. The project to build a
headquarters for the community, estimated at 300 million, aroused greed.

INTERVIEW WITH OUEDRAOGO ON YAMOUSSOUKRO SUMMIT

[Interview with Dr Jean-Baptiste Ouedraogo, head of state, on his return
from Yamoussoukro Summit by L'OBSERVATEUR, date and place not specified]

[Text] [Question] Mr President, you are back from Yamoussoukro where
you took part in four summits--the CEAO, ANAD [Non-Aggression-and
Defense Aid Agreement], UMOA [West African Monetary Union] and the
OCAM [African and Mauritian Common Organization] summits. What! can
you tell us about these summits?

[Answer] These summits went well. To give you some background, I
would like to point out that the spirit guiding the various summits
at Yamoussoukro, through all these conferences was one of solidarity,
cooperation in the subregion in unity and cohesion.

[Question] Mr President, the international press says that Upper Volta
blocked Mali's entry into the UMOA and Guy Penne, adviser to the French
president, even spoke of an Upper Voltan veto. What did happen?

[Answer] Before answering this question, I am going to give a general
overview:

:We are pleased with the ever-growing credibility of the CEAO. Thus, we
gave instructions to continue the expansion of trade and the
implementation of community projects.

On the subject of ANAD, we noted simply that there can be no economic
development without peace, cohesion and union. Thus, we reaffirmed our
solidarity and our determination to maintain peace in the subregion.
From this comes the political will to achieve the objectives of this
agreement effectively.

We were pleased that the UMOA has shown its solidarity through the basic
principles of solidarity, cohesion and discipline; this has enabled

JOHANNESBURG PAPER INDICATES LABOR PARTY 'THREW IN THE TOWEL'
MB101147 Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 6 Jan 83 p 4
[Editorial]

[Text] It will be interesting to see the direction chief Gatsha Buthelezi's
South African black alliance is likely to take after the Labour. Party threw in
the towel, and all but endorsed the government's constitutional proposals.

At its congress in Eshowe, Natal, the party passed a resolution saying the
proposals did not measure up to the constitutional demands nor were they adequate
for the present circumstances in South Africa. The delegates nevertheless voted
overwhelmingly to use the planned three-chamber parliament to try to achieve
their goals of one man one vote in a non-discriminatory, unitary South African
state in which blacks were included.

Whatever chief Buthelezi is going to do we say the Labour Party has sold out.
All manner of ways to pretty up their endorsement of this tri-cameral plan will
not do. In other words they should be kicked out of the black alliance.

That may sound brutal but we think it goes to the core of the steps left open to
blacks who are speaking of unity. There is a report elsewhere in this paper about
black unity and Although some of the points raised are seemingly controversial,

we are afraid it does not deal with this kind of dilemma that faces blacks.

The stand taken by the Labour Party was in a way expected but there are blacks
who have done almost a similar kind of thing all the way, in their naive belief
that the white power structure will leave channels open for one man one vote

or whatever fairy airy tale they want to dream up.

It has happened to homelands leaders, including chief Buthelezi himself, who has
however shown remarkable tenacity in refusing to go the way other homelands
leaders have gone.

Chief Buthelezi did in fact say that if the Labour Party accepted the proposals
this could signal the end of the South African black alliance and deal a mortal
blow to black unity in South Africa. He also made the serious warning that the
confrontational situation between blacks and whites might now assume a new
dimension with black facing black.

SOUTH AFRICA

MUGABE'S 'PETTY PROVOCATIONS' SCORED
MB101102 Johannesburg Domestic Service in English 0500 GMT 10 Jan 83
[Station commentary: "South Africa and Zimbabwe"]

[Text] In the midst of the worst economic-and political plight his country has
known before, during or after UDI [Unilateral Declaration of Independence],
Prime Minister Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe still finds the time for petty provoca-
tions against South Africa. He is evidently quite willing to make his country
pay dearly for the sport.

The latest of the provocations is the barefaced staging of the defection of a
black member of South African Défense Force. Cpl Stephen Mutasa is a former
Rhodesian soldier who joined up in South Africa after Mr Mugabe came to power.
A month ago he was openly abducted by Zimbabwean soldiers, trespassing on
South African territory. Last week he appeared at a news conference in Harare
where, surrounded by secret police, he said he did not wish to return to

South Africa. Having abducted Cpl Mutasa and interrogated him for several
weeks, the Zimbabwean Government states that it respects his new-found desire
to remain in Harare. The comment of the South African Defense Force is that
Zimbabwe's record of confessions obtained from prisoners is well-known; that

as an attested member of the permanent force, Corporal Mutasa must bé returned;
and that after a period of freedom he will be able to do as he pleases. [as heard]

Relations between Zimbabwe and South Africa have deteriorated steadily in the
past 3 years. From the start Mr Mugabe declared his intention of cutting all
ties beginning with the severance of diplomatic contact. Offensive epithets
in references to South Africa became compulsory practice in the media, and
several cabinet members enthusiastically joined the chorus. Mr Mugabe pledged
increasing support for the terrorist activities of the ANC and the PAC in the
total war as he called it, and was soon in the lead of the UN pack calling for
total sanctions, even while admitting that his country could not afford to
apply them.

For a while it seemed Zimbabweans working in South Africa were an exploitable
issue. President Banana described them as slave labor, But that campaign
was suddenly silenced when the prospect arose of their being repatriated

and another 20,000 being added to the country's large pool of unemployed.

Further Comment
MB120942 Johannesburg Domestic Service in English 0500 GMT 12 Jan 83
[Station.commentary: "Obligations Towards Namibia"]

[Text] The dissolution of the ministers council in Namibia as a corrolary

of Mr -Durke Mudge's resignation creates a new'situation in the complex political
affairs of the territory. For the present it will leave the administrator-
general as the sole executive authority at the first tier of government. The
longer’ view provides less clarity, but a clear perspective must begin with
identifying the chief determinants of the course that will eventually emerge
from the maelstrom.

Those determinants are variable and therefore are not susceptible to precise
measurement, but identifying them is simple enough since there are only three.
They are the sets of irrevocable obligations owed by the three main participants
in the Namibian issue--the South African Government, the governments of the five
big Western powers, and the territory's own political leaders to the land and its
peoples, Howthose obligations will be fulfilled will determine the future course
of Namibia.

South Africa's obligations have been stated repeatedly over the years, as has its
determination to meet them, It has a commitment to. independence for Namibia and
to enable its people to’ decide freely and fairly on the form and composition

of their government in the independent state, and it has an agreement that those
goals should be achieved, if possible, in the framework of the international
settlement that is being pursued by the Western five. It is working purposefully
toward those objectives through continual negotiations with the territory's
representatives, with American policy makers and with African leaders, like
President Kenneth Kaunda, and even Angolan Government ministers.

While the international negotiations are in progress, Pretoria is bound, as
agreed upon with the Western five and Namibia's elected leaders, to keep the
territory militarily secure and to maintain an even keel in its administration.
That requirement is reenforced by the present disputes and proliferation of
parties in the territory. Any far-reaching political changes must await
greater clarity on the progress of the Western initiative--that is, on the
fulfillment by the big five of their obligations.

On that front, there has been hectic activity in recent weeks. After earlier
achieving general concensus from a constitutional package, the United States
has been concentrating on’ the one remaining big obstacle: the impossibility

of holding free and fair elections while 30,00 [as printed] Cuban troops remain
in Angola. The demand for a Cuban withdrawal took Dr Chester Crocker last month
to Moscow, the real power behind their activities. Talks with Angolan leaders
have coincided with the purge of more than 30 pro-Moscow members in the MPLA
hierarchy.

In that same connection, he talked about the various tastes in music and the
absence of planned and consistent recreational activities, "which causes a pro-
diferation of escapes by each individual in his or her own way." Concerning
music, he emphasized that the phonograph records produced in this country are
of poor quality and that the music itself is more commercial than artistic and
cultural in its expression, "there being no concern among our musicians to pro-
mote our own rhythms--our own heritage."

He added: "The lack of workshops for repairing or even producing musical instru-
ments is a pernicious factor as far as resolving this situation is concerned."
As an indication of the steps being taken, however, he mentioned the contacts
with the FDJ aimed at obtaining a few musical instruments.

Describing the situation in music, he said: "Many young people in the cities
cling to reggae, funk, disco, and so on and are unaware, for example, of classi-
cal music and other rhythms. On the other hand, those in the rural areas spend
every Sunday at the traditional dances and are not open to other rhythms and
styles."

He concluded by saying: "The whole problem is one of education and of cultivat-
ing new tastes."

Discussing relations between the sexes among young people, he said: "Wholesome
relations do not exist. As far as they are concerned, the affinity is sex.
Everything is done in the name of sex." Further on, he discussed the failure
to promote moral, ideological, and cultural qualities and the excessive value
placed on esthetic and physical features as a consequence of the influence of
the traditional-feudal and colonial-capitalist societies.

He emphasized: "That idea is gradually disappearing with the accomplishment of
collective tasks." Discussing a problem which he described as crucial in the
moral and cultural values inherent in some young people, he said: "There are
girls who think nothing of marrying a polygamous man just for money or other
material goods."

Another problem to which he drew attention was the lack of civic breeding among
young people, a situation "reflected in the lack of respect for women, the
elderly, the ill, and others, not only when standing in line but also in hos-
pitals, on buses, and so on." He added that nowadays, many parents have re-
nounced their duties as educators.

Activities

"The OJM is established throughout the country: in factories, schools, military
units, and communal villages," said Zacarias Kupela, and he added that in some
cases, the activity of the rank-and-file structures is well known, while in
others it is not.

On that point, he stressed the lack of support and encouragement from the party's
tank-and-file organizations that those structures face.

UPPER VOLTA

COMMENT ON DISCONTENT, TRANSFERS

Quagadougou L'OBSERVATEUR in French 17-19 Dec 82 pp 10-11

[Article by Passek Taale in the column "Passek Taale's Comments"]

[Excerpts] Dear Wambi,

Since the accession of the CSP [People's Salvation Council] on

7 November 1982, in one way or another you have reported on the turn of
events and reported how the people reacted to the event: the discontent
of some, joy of others, concern here, skepticism there, not to. mention
hope and indifference. People of moderate means, high school and college
students express these mixed, unexpected feelings loudly and clearly.

What about the others? You know them. They call themselves
intellectuals or technocrats. Some of them at least do not have the
courage of their convictions. They are clever and calculating.

What could be easier than sitting in a corner of a drawing room or
being part of an "underground" group, making knowledgeable, highfalutin
analyses in a pompous manner?. No one is any wiser for it. Moreover,
your nephew Guietba who works for L'OBSERVATEUR told me he receives a
lot’ of mail frequently containing harsh criticism but also good
suggestions. -

What is curious is that all these letters not only lack a return address
but all end in the same way: "For personal and security reasons, I
prefer to remain anonymous." Yet they say they are communists.

Thus, people are leaving the Upper Voltan Dartagnan to play Saint-Just
by charging ahead with armor on. Who is crazy?

In conclusion, I would like you to know, dear cousin, that five former
CMRPN [Military Committee of Recovery for National Progress] officials
_were transferred to Bobo-Dioulosso 3 days ago--a colonel, ‘

a lieutenant colonel, two majors and a captain. If I am able, f will
send you their full names in my next letter. So goes life. Till we
meet again.

Your cousin.

interest- me." EL Hadj Pitroipa still believes that the imams
played a major role in this matter. He says he has a."letter of
lies:and denigration" which El Hadj Sidiki Quedraogo sent ‘the
minister of the interior to slander him.

El Hadj Compaore admits that the imams and marabouts have blessed
politicians and political parties. Over the years they have strayed
from the virtues imposed by Koranic law. "Most have more than five
wives, which is against our religion, because it is written in the
Koran that any man taking a fifth wife is acting as if he married his
mother. That is why the great imam has removed himself from them,"
noted El Hadj Compaore.

Right away, we are in the midst of another aspect of the crisis,
public criticism and settling of scores. Indeed, we cannot under-
estimate this state of mind which prevails in the Moslem Community.

According to El Hadj Lancina Traore, vice president for pilgrimages,
the spirit of tolerance does not prevail in the Moslem Community.

"I myself have been abused and accused of every evil imaginable. The
wazzou became the chance to say that so-and-so would go to hell
because he did not obey some rule. No, no one may say it," he told us.

Following these public criticisms the authorities decided to suspend
the wazzou on the radio. "We supported this measure because no one
must use the radio to slander others," said El Hadj Sidiki Ouedraogo.

For months, the faithful no longer have the right to their wazzou.
The imams acknowledge that no one insults his neighbors in the
other languages, Dioula and Beulh. Unfortunately, the faults of
preachers speaking Moore led to the same treatment.

Excessive Fanaticism

Some feel that the fanaticism of several leaders threatens the
community's cohesion. Each faction has its forces on the board.
“Armed conflict is almost. imminent ," one of them confided to us.

The imams say the G-3 and their friends are the troublemakers. They
therefore demand their expulsion from the board. "The leadership of
the community must revert to the religious leaders.because they know
the Koran well. The intellectuals must be content handling
administrative matters," concluded El Hadj Saidou Tapsoba, imam of
Gounghin. . .

"I cannot read Arabic. Yet I have the Koran in French which I
understand very well because I studied it. I defy anyone to say the

ZIMBABWE

DETAILS ON RICE IMPORT CONTROLS GIVEN
Harare BUSINESS HERALD in English 16 Dec 82 p 1

[Text] ERRATIC supplies of rice and the resultant shortages prompted the
Government to drop Malawian rice from the list of items covered by the Open
General Import Licence.

But this did not mean--as some recent reports have suggested--that rice from
Malawi, Zimbabwe's traditional supplier, had been banned.

Clarifying his ministry's recent statement on the rice imports, the Secre-
tary for Trade and Commerce, Mr Rodney Saich, said rice was now a controlled
item that would in future be bought by the Grain Marketing Board from the
cheapest source.

Mr Saich explained that, for many years, no foreign exchange had been allo-
cated for rice imports as all rice had come from Malawi under Open General
Import Licence.

"Early this year supplies from Malawi become very erratic and as a conse-
quence we suffered intermittent shortages," he said.

After representations by the ministry and importers to the Malawi Agricultural
Marketing Authority, it became clear that Malawi was no longer in a position
to meet all Zimbabwe's rice needs and alternative sources had to be found.

"So the Government decided to import rice through the grain Marketing Board
and go out to tender to determine the source. This was done and, as a re-
sult, an order was placed with Korea and some of that rice has already ar-
rived," said Mr Saich.

This decision meant that rice had to be placed under import control and re-
moved from Open General Import Licence.

Mr Saich pointed out that if this had not been done and Malawi started
supplying Zimbabwe importers with unlimited supplies of rice again, there
would then be a surplus because of the rice that had been imported from
other sources. This would be an "inexcusable waste of foreign exchange."

He states clearly: "I am loved because of my situation and not
because of God, otherwise the community would not be in this state
today. I have tried in vain to reconcile them. Each time I
intervene, they promise not to begin again. Yet as soon as I turn

my back, they insult each other again. Under these conditions, I
prefer to leave. Yet I will always remain-a member of this community.
I will always give it my help."

What must be done to get out of the impasse?, We are facing a real
Chinese puzzle. Some have tried at several levels to reconcile

the community. On 5 November 1982, the former minister of the interior
and security met with the community board and asked it to convene,
within a month at the latest, an extraordinary congress to end this
conflict. .

By allowing the situation to continue to deteriorate, the Moslems will
one day be unable to gather under the same roof. This is why we

must act as quickly as possible. The ban on the wazzou broadcasts must
be lifted. Millions of Moslem believers who had nothing to do with
this crisis are being penalized.

Some quite simply propose removing the principal protagonists from
the board. The situation seems unworkable in the present context.
Each individual has his supporters behind him. An arbitrary
suspension of this type would uncontestably split the community.

In the light of this investigation, one proposal can be considered to

‘ golve the crisis. The national council (the second highest decision-

making body after the general assembly) and the executive board must
meet as soon as possible. They will set up a temporary board or a
technical committee of some 15 members. As the current board is
paralyzed, this organization can take its place in expediting urgent
matters, then revise the statutes and call an extraordinary congress
in 1983 to givé a new orientation to the Moslem Community and set! up
an elected board. Without any doubt, this must be done with the good-
will of all.

The current statutes, contravened several times, are outdated. The
executive boards have rarely been elected. They have always been
designated. This practice can only lead to discrimination in
appointing board members.

Next, structures must be decentralized more to allow local councils
to pay a larger role. Because of the current structure,

when'a problem arises among the Moslems of Ouagadougou, it has
repercussions on all the faithful of the country.

SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE

SPECIAL ASSEMBLY CREATES CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 16 Dec 82 p 8

[Text] Sao Tome--As part of the work of the Third MLSTP [Movement for the Lib-
eration of Sao Tome and Principe] Special Assembly, which completed its work in
the middle of the night on Sunday, 102 delegates from every corner of the coun-
try analyzed the domestic and international situations, revised the bylaws, and
elected the MLSTP's chairman and members of the Central Committee.

The work of this assembly, considered the biggest event of 1982, began last

10 December with the basic objective of thoroughly analyzing the problems exist-
ing within the MLSTP and undertaking the purging, renewal, and strengthening of
its ranks.

The result was that four members of the former leadership body--the Coordinat-
ing Council--and two others who had been suspended for disciplinary reasons
were rejected by the new leadership, which is now called the Central Committee
and which now has 16 new members from various social strata.

In addition, the leadership, which used to operate with 25 full members and 5
alternates, now has 35 members (29 full members and 6 alternates).

Another change deserving attention concerns the JMLSTP, which has ceased being
a mass organization to become the MLSTP Youth. It will operate in connection
with the MLSTP as a training ground for future party members.

After considering the strategic objective of building socialism as defined by
the first assembly (held in 1978) and also considering that that objective re-
quires ideological clarification and consistent working methods, the assembly
adopted an eight-point resolution affecting primarily the political sphere with
a view to stimulating the process of national development.

TANZANIA

PRICE COMMISSION ANNOUNCES NEW PRICES FOR ALL GOODS IT CONTROLS
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 16 Dec 82 p 3

[Text] THE National, Price Commission yesterday announced new prices for all
commodities falling under its control.

In a statement issued in Dar es Salaam, the Commission raised prices of com-
modities ranging from beer, soft drinks, cooking fats, textiles, soap and
pharmaceuticals, to radios and radio cassettes.

The statement said the prices adjustment was for the 1982/83 period, and would
be effective from today.

Other items whose prices have been affected include suiting materials, blan-
kets, razor blades, soap, steel products, timber, paints, pharmaceuticals,
tyres and tubes, batteries, bicycle tyres and tubes, hurricane lanterns,
cooking salt, porcelainware, hoes and other farm implements.

A sample of the new prices set up is as follows:--pride cooking fat, 12 x 1
kilogram tin--prices have risen from 35/- to 38/85; while supa ghee of the
same size has had its prices rising from 35/10 to 39/-.

Maximum retail prices for the large size bottles of coca cola, fanta and
bottles of similar size will now cost 3.35; while pepsi and mirinda will sell
at 3.30.

Safari beer will sell at its current price of 17.75 in hotels, bars and res-
taurants, and 16/95 in groceries and beer stores. Other brancs prices have
also remained constant. Factory prices for all the beer brands have however
gone up, and a crate of Safari will now cost 407/05.

Khanga, measuring 3.35 metres a pair will now cost 111.20 instead of the old
109/-. Prices for kitenge, grey sheeting, linen, dress prints and other tex-
tile designs have also gone up.

Reasons advanced for the increases include the rise in prices for raw mater-
ials, both locally obtained, and imported ones.

There has also been a rise in costs of production for agricultural crops like
cotton and various seeds used for seed oil production.

us to withstand the repeated blows of the great economic crisis
experienced all over the world at present. We have defined a joint,
global strategy for the future based on the following priority activities:

Development of agriculture;

Mining all energy resources through the WADB [West African Development
Bank], its financing instrument;

Continuation and extension of austerity measures;

Harmonization of the national development policies for increased
integration of the member nations.

Let me tell you this about the problem of Mali and the so-called
Upper Voltan veto--the admission of a new state into the UMOA is a
decision of the conference of heads of state. This decision must, of
course, be unanimous. The problem of Mali's admission was not
considered at the summit because of the discussions by the heads of
state.

Naturally in this matter our country played an active role in the process
which kept this off the agenda of the conference of heads of state of
the union. Thus, as you see, there was no Upper Voltan veto; it is
obvious: there was a consensus and the matter was not discussed. I
think the point, has been made on this matter.

[question] On-his arrival yesterday in Dakar, the Senegalese head of
state said that initiative and studies were being made to admit Mali to
the UMOA as soon as possible.. At what stage are these efforts and what
role is Upper Volta playing in making these studies?

[Answer] You know that there is a certain‘initiative to resolve this
conflict (a border dispute between Mali and Upper Volta) and at
present this resolution concerns us.

[Question] Since it seems that the member states of ANAD reject the
idea of a joint force, how can there be assistance in defense matters
in such a context?

[Answer] ‘What you have said is not exact; we reached a consensus on
this matter.

[question] The OCAM is an organization which is shrinking like
leather. and logically this poorly functioning organization should be
dissolved; nevertheless, the heads of state decided to maintain it
under these conditions.

Whether the West can fulfill all its obligations and secure a Cuban withdrawal,
remains to be seen. It will obviously affect the future course of Namibia,
but whatever the outcome, the obligations of the territory's internal leaders
remain the same: to prepare’ their peoples’ for a dispensation in which they
will have to come to terms with one another in an independent state. One way

unchanged. The precise means by which Namibia will get there will be a matter

CONSTITUTIONAL PROPOSALS OPPOSED--Prime Minister Pieter Botha's constitutional
proposals are aimed at fragmenting black unity. That is the view of the Natal
Indian Congress and the Transvaal anti-South African Indian Council Committee,
which rejected the proposals at a meeting in Durban. Ingrid Stewart has details.
[Stewart] In a statement issued last night, the Natal Indian Congress and the
Transvaal body described the proposals as a maneuver aimed at fragmenting black
unity built over decades of ‘common experience and joint struggle by the oppressed
people. The proposals, they say, would maintain white domination and ignore

the demands of the legitimate leaders of the black community. . They conclude

that the proposals would do nothing to alleviate the lot of the suffering
majority. . They warmed the South African Indian Council that it does not
represent the Indian people and therefore cannot take any decision to participate
in the proposals, and they reiterate their commitment [words indistinct] attain-
ment of a society based on the principles of the freedom charter. [Text]

STUDENTS DETAINED IN CISKEI--ZWELITSHA--Two former Fort Hare University stu-
dents have been detained by Ciskei security police in Alice. Mr Cunningham
Neukana of Middeldrift and Mr Snwapo Sobukwe, of Graaf Reinet, were arrested
last week. Both men were among students expelled from the university after
disturbances last July. Their detention was confirmed by the commander-in-
chief of State Security in Ciskei, Lieutenant General Charles Sebe. Five
detainees will spend Christmas in Jail in Ciskei. The remaining three are
the Rev Temba Sibeko, former chairman of the Border Council of Churches and
now an employee of the Shade Welfare Organisation, Mr Godfrey Shiba and Miss
Veronica Notozini, both members of the South African Allied Workers Union.

CONTAINER USE INCENTIVE--THE overall increase in container traffic rates will
be kept lower than the average increase in goods tariffs which takes effect
from January 1. SA Transport Services announced last week that to maintain
the incentive for shippers to make use of containers, the overall increase in
rates would be kept lower than the average goods tariff increase of 15,1 per-
cent. In order to keep the overall increase lower, and to bring the charges
in line with the actual costs of transporting containers between City Deep and
the major coastal centres--Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London and Cape Town--
a differentiated increase in the rates will have to be implemented. Mr Ernest
du Plessis, public relation officer for SATS, said yesterday that the increase
would be 9 percent on domestic and import traffic, 25 percent on export traf-
fic and 33,3 percent on empty containers, resulting in an overall increase for
container users of 12,5 percent. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English

SOWETO CRIME RATE--SOWETO community leaders and social workers reacted with
shock yesterday to the alarming rate that crime has soared this year. At

Events became complicated on the second day. The list of the new
board to replace the previous one was submitted to the members of
the congress, in disregard of the agenda. Immediately, the imams
protested. They accused the G-3 and their friends of attempting a
take-over, ignoring the community's statutes. At that point, they
refused to take their seats.

According to El Hadj Salif Compaore, president of the departmental
executive board of the center and general commissioner for property
matters of the Moslem Community, this board had the approval of

El Hadj Oumarou Kanazoe. The latter reportedly told them: ‘Add

100, 200, °300 people to the old board if that will safeguard. the

unity of our association. My shoulders are strong enough to carry you."

It is hinted in the G-3 entourage that El Hadj Kanazoe made these
remarks in the presence of the great imam of Bobo-Dioulasso, El Hadj
Dramane Sanon and El Hadj Yacouba OQuedraogo of Ouahigouya.

Flat Denial

El Hadj Kanazoe himself rejects this statement. "When I was told that
a board was being set up in my name, I immediately went to the House
of the People (site of the congress), to deny any responsibility in
this matter," he told us. "I never gave my approval for making a

list for a board. I resigned 9 months before this congress for
business reasons but also because of the endless, futile quarrels,"
he added.

El Hadj Sidiki Ouedradgo, vice president for the community's Islamic
affairs, in turn accuses the great imam of the capital, El Hadj Abdoul
Salam Kiemtore of inventing this board from nothing with the G3's
complicity. Also using Kanazoe as a defense, Dr Balla Traore, first
vice president of the executive board, states that he spent most of
his time with the latter. "I do not know when he agreed to be part

of a board," he said.

Nevertheless, the board in dispute was the one made known to the press
and published in the final report of the general assembly. This
board in fact retained all previous members and their duties and
added some new members. Yet the formation of this board precipated
the end of this congress. That same evening, El Hadj Kanazoe

invited all members of the congress to his house to get their
requisitions before returning to their homes. In the following weeks,
there was a series of resignations: in turn, El Hadj Kanazoe, his
majesty the late Mogho-Naba Kugri, Dr Balla Traore and General
Treasurer Saydou Traore left this board.

DENMARK PLEDGES CONTINUED COOPERATION IN NATION'S DEVELOPMENT
Dar es Salaam SUNDAY NEWS in English 12 Dec 82 p 1

[Text] AN agreement was signed in Dar es Salaam yesterday under which Denmark
pledged continued cooperation with Tanzania in her development efforts.

The agreement, signed following week-long consultations between Danish Inter-
national Development Agency (DANIDA) and Tanzania officials, also supports the
newly instituted Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) and pledges to tailor
aid to its objectives.

Denmark also pledged to grant Tanzania 200 million/- next year to support edu-
cation, health, water supply and personnel assistance. The amount extended
this year was about 175 million/-.

The agreement was signed by the DANIDA Deputy Director, Dr. Kaj Baagoe, and
the Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Ndugu Fulgence Kazaura who
signed on behalf of Tanzania.

Under the agreement, Denmark also expressed willingness to step up agricultur-
al share in the aid programme in the coming years.

Dr. Baagoe said Denmark was now intending to give grants rather than loans to
the least developed countries, including Tanzania.

The change in policy follows a survey conducted by Denmark in various devel-
oping countries on the effectiveness of her aid policies, Dr. Baagoe said.
One of the countries surveyed was Tanzania.

He said for Tanzania, this implied that grant assistance would be raised with
an amount corresponding to the loan amounts hitherto offered.

Tanzania has todate been receiving assistance from Denmark both in the form of
grants and loans.

During their week-long consultations, the two sides reviewed a number of pro-
jects assisted by Denmark through DANIDA.

The DANIDA team comprising nine officials left for home last night.

The agreement also covers loans which will benefit cement and sugar indus-
tries. The amounts offered were not disclosed.

HIRING EX-COMBATANTS--The minister of labor and social services, Comrade Kangai,
said the government is’to crack down all employers who refuse to employ former
combatants. In an interview with THE HERALD, the minister said refusal to employ
former combatants cannot be tolerated because it is not in line with the
government's policy of reconciliation. Comrade Kangai said although most of the
ex-combatants have adjusted since demobilization, there are some employers who
have not adjusted to changes. He said the $185 a month given to demobilized
combatants ‘should not be ‘considered-as'a (?grant or) pension but as assistance
for them to return to normal civilian life. Comrade Kangai explained that
demobilized former combatants who are still unemployed’ are expected to further
their education and to form cooperatives. He added that they can apply for
advanced payments of up to $2,400 to start projects in poultry, mining and farming.
Comrade Kangai said the private sector has responded positively in the employment
of disabled former combatants, with the result that only 300 disabled former
combatants are on the labor market out of the original 5,000. He said the new
rehabilitation center at (Ruwa) is now operational, although it is not fully
completed. [Text] [MB120700 Harare Domestic Service in English 0500 GMT

COMMENTS ON MUDGE RESIGNATION

Mudge Resignation
LD112350 Johannesburg International Service in English 2100 GMT 11 Jan 83
[Station commentary]

[Text] The resignation of Mr Dirk Mudge as chairman of the South-West African
Administrative Council must be seen in the context of the difficulties confront-
ing the territory, because of the continuing (?failure) of efforts to establish
conditions which could lead to fair and free elections and an internationally
acceptable independence. However, this does not mean that the territory is to
lapse into disorganization.

In November the term of office of the National Assembly and its executive arm,
the ministers council, was extended until 28 February. This after the prime
minister, Mr P. W. Botha, had said that the central government structure in
South West Africa would be reviewed when the present term of office of the
National Assembly expired. His (?comment) followed certain breakaways from the
DTA [Democratic Turnhalle Alliance] since the one man, one vote election in
December 1978 which had cast some doubt on its representative role.

Observers believe the upshot of these and other developments could be that
South Africa.will decide to take back control of South-West Africa through the
administrator general, but only temporarily. First (?prize) for South Africa
and South-West Africa remains internationally supervised elections for the
territory. And these days this (?is being) tied directly to a withdrawal of
Cubans from Angola.

South Africa's standpoint on a Cuban withdrawal is supported by the United States,
which (?has. been) involved in stepped-up negotiations with Angola and other
states in an effort to bring (?this about). However, at the same time, it's

been indicated by the prime minister, Mr P. W. Botha, that should it prove
impossible to hold internationally supervised elections in the foreseeable future,
then thought would have to be given to the holding of internal elections in the
territory again. This is because South Africa is not interested in governing
South-West Africa for any length of time. The over-riding principle being that
the territory should be governed by the will of the majority of its people.

What the latest development underlines is the urgency of persuading Angola to

get the Cubans out, so that elections can be held in South-West Africa.

[Answer] We felt that the services provided by this organization were
considerable, especially in the area of specialized institutions-such

as Air Afrique, the Pan African Telecommunications Union and other
research institutions. Therefore, the heads of state decided to maintain
the OCAM. However, they felt that it was indispensable to restructure
the system to make it more functional and efficient. A committee of
experts from all member nations is scheduled to study this matter next
year. Its conclusions and recommendations will be ‘submitted to the

12th summit of heads of state which will be held in Cotonou in 1983.

The heads of state unanimously elected President Mathieu Kerekou president
of this organization until the Cotonou summit.

[Question] Mr President, this was the first time that you as head of
state met your African counterparts so it was an important meeting
for you. How do you assess this first political contact?

[Answer] I am pleased I could make this necessary contact under the
present conditions especially because I had the opportunity to meet
nine heads of state. I learned a great deal and I came into contact
with the demands of this office; my impressions are generally
favorable to the extent that we met with understanding and
particularly because we could learn from the advice and experience of
various individuals.

Membership has reached hundreds of thousands throughout the country, and the
issuance of membership cards began recently.

The MAGAZINE DA JUVENTUDE, the BOLETIM DA OJM, and the preparation of brochures
and posters in addition to the youth newspaper that is soon to be published
were pointed to as symbols of the OJM's activities.

The patriotism and availability demonstrated in the reconstruction of zones
devastated by what used to be Smith's Rhodesia and in voluntary work brigades
in Niassa and Tete in the factories and other sectors of activity were an out-
standing feature throughout those first 5 years.

A maternity hospital in Sofala, the housing for miners at the CATIA, and the re-
lationships of friendship, solidarity, and cooperation established with youth
organizations in other countries were also among the many activities engaged in
by the OJM during this period.

At the moment, the planting of trees in support of the fourth congress is in-
volving young people from all over the country in an enticing workday.

UPPER VOLTA

REPORT ON CRISIS IN ISLAMIC COMMUNITY
Ouagadougou CARREFOUR AFRICAIN in French 17 Dec 82 pp 9-14

[Article by Luc Adolphe Tiao: "The Hidden Side of a Crisis"]
[Text] After 20 years of legal existence, the Moslem
Community of Upper Volta is experiencing its worst
crisis. We reached the following conclusion after
several meetings for hours on end with about
15 officials and ordinary believers: the crisis
seriously threatens the cohesion of the most powerful
religious association in our country. According to
some indications, it has almost 3 million members.

Many religious leaders and believers from all factions
are responsible for this problem. Since each individual
is looking after his own interests, it is hard to
achieve understanding. According to El Hadj Oumarou
Kanazoe, outgoing president of the executive board of
the Moslem Community, "the incidents arise because the
Moslems and the leaders of our community no longer
respect religion." Whatever the contradictions

present, everyone acknowledges the need for a peaceful
solution as soon as possible.

The crisis which smoldered for several years erupted openly during
the last congress of the community from 15 to 18 April 1982 in
Ouagadougou.

The atmosphere heated up on the first day of the proceedings. There
were two opposing camps. On one side, there were the imams and
marabouts of the city of Ouagadougou. On the other side were the
young Turks of the board such as El Hadj Salif.Compaore, Amadou
Pitroipa and Sasse-Naba Ouedraogo.

To help understand the evolution of events, let us call this latter
camp the G-3 (group of three).

74



contrary to me. The imams no longer know what they read in the Koran,"
thinks El Hadj Lacina Traore.

We hear the same thing from the G-3. El Hadj Salif Compaore states
that the imams and marabouts want to lead them down a slippery
slope. "The community is not a party but an association of all
Moslem believers. Each must take up the task which suits him; our
structure is more administrative and cultural than strictly Islamic,"
he believes.

_El Hadj Gompaore says that on several occasions, the imams "blinded by
their fanaticism" have laid traps. El Hadj Kanazoe himself admits
that there are all types of fanatics in the community. "On several
occasions, they, tried to represent me an an opponent of the Christians.
Some complain’ bitterly when I help with a temple or a chapel,”

he told us.

El Hadj Kanazoe feels that "the threat of an interdenominational Moslem
conflict is real. My brothers of the community bear a grudge against
the faithful of other Moslem denominations such as the Wahabites and

the Tidianes. I succeeded on several occasions in appeasing them, other-
wise blood would flow," continued Kanazoe. "I have always preached
understanding among religions because we all.adore the same God.

If this spirit reigns among the Moslems and the others, we will avoid
armed conflicts," he concluded.

In addition to these troubles about money, politics, personalities

and religion, the Moslem Community drags along a very weighty

apparatus. The structure is not functional. For this reason, the
smallest difficulty impedes it. If we look at the list of the various
community leaders, the basic criterion for their selection seems to be
material affluence or religious notoriety. "Not everyone is like
Kanazoe," Dr Balla told us. "He gives without counting and never

uses his.money to exert pressure on the faithful of the community. This
is certainly not the case of some leaders."

Weighty Apparatus

Indeed, El Hadj Kanazoe pays for many of the community's expenses.
According to Sasse-Naba Quedraogo, El Hadj Kanazoe pays for all
operating expenses of the Ouagadougou mosques. He pays the water,
electricity and telephone bills of the community. Ei Hadj Kanazoe
is also mentioned in connection with the construction of several
mosques such as the Ouagadougou and especially the Yako mosque,
his birthplace.

We understand why in this dispute both sides want him on their side.
Everyone speaks well of him. That is not El Hadj Kanazoe's concern.



MOZAMBIQUE

USSR ASSISTS NAMPULA INDUSTRIAL TRAINING INSTITUTE
Beira DIARIO DE MOCAMBIQUE in Portuguese 29 Nov 82 pp 8-9
[Article by Narciso Castanheira]

[Excerpts] What the Portuguese colonialist authorities had intended to turn
into one more PIDE [Police for the Control of Foreigners and Defense of the
State] jail has been transformed by Mozambican hands into the country's most
modern industrial school with the help of Soviet experts. It is the Nampula
Industrial Training Institute, which this year will provide the Ministry of
Education and Culture with about 80 graduating cadres who have been following
a middle-level course for 3 years.

Located a little over 10 kilometers from the capital of Nampula Province, the
Industrial Training Institute operates as a boarding school and now includes a
number of facilities making it a truly favorable place for the type of training
intended.

Three years ago, when the institute opened its doors, its first 136 students
were distributed among the courses in farm mechanization, auto mechanics, ma-
chinery and tools, welding, and electricity. All of them had completed the
ninth grade of industrial school.

Today, the institute has 434 students at various stages in its 3-year course of
study. Most of them are from Maputo, Gaza, or Inhambane.

As we said at the start, the school is being assisted by Soviet experts, who
teach all the technical classes under the terms of the agreements existing be-
tween the People's Republic of Mozambique and the USSR in the field of education.

All the equipment.at the institute is of Soviet origin. While we were touring
the facilities, one of the Soviet instructors, ‘who agreeably showed us how some
of the equipment works, assured us that the level of achievement among the stu-
dents is quite good and that much can be expected from then.

Support Structures

One of the several students with whom we spoke--all of them near completion of
their course, incidentally--whispered to us that the institute is currently



When he left, he asked me to tell him what I needed. This was to show
his gratitude for the services I rendered to him. I told him that I
lodged him in Allah's name. The only thing he could do was to help the
Moslem youth. When he returned to his country, he sent a check for
more than 3 million in my name. On Dr Balla's initiative, I opened

an account at the BIV [International Bank of the Voltas] in the name
of the Moslem youth of.Quagadougou. This money will be used for
several expenses of the community," he said.

All these monetary manipulations by the board worry many Moslems. One
member of the cultural committee wondered if the Arab countries will
continue to have confidence in the community. El Hadj Kanazoe himself
deplored this poor management. Consequently, he believes that the
Moslems of Upper Volta must make a minimum sacrifice to ensure the
financing of their projects.

Without a doubt, the matter of money divides the Moslems. Yet is this
problem sufficient to enflame the entire community?

Many believe that the controversy surrounding the community's money
is quite simply poisoned by "political machinations."

Money and Politics

Indeed, the Moslem Community does not seem to rise above the errors of
political regimes. All sides unanimously recognize that the political
inclinations of both Sides are the basic cause of the érisis.

The imams of Ouagadougou openly accused the G-3 of wanting to "use the
Moslem Community to satisfy their political ambitions." For this
reason they refuse to follow it into its abyss. The imam of
Gounghin., El Hadj Saidou Tapsoba blamed the great imam who allowed
himself to "be dragged in this mud" by the G-3, El Hadj Kanazoe,
without naming anyone, noted that political considerations seem to
take precedence over piety.

On their side, the G-3 feel that the imams' accusation is based on
their “hypocrisy about removing parasites of all kinds from the

community." . This is an evasion said El Hadj Sasse-Naba Ouedraogo.
“When someone wants to get rid of his dog, he says he has rabies,"
he said. "We do not engage in politics. Our only concern is to spread

our religion and protect it from various deviations or desecrations ,"
he added.

El Hadj Amadou Pitroipa has not forgotten the some 40 days he spent

in prison with his two companions following the 25 November 1980
coup d'etat. "I never engaged in politics because it does not

TANZANIA

NATIONAL FOOD STRATEGY PLAN READY TO BE SENT TO GOVERNMENT
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 15 Dec 82 p 1

[Text] THE long-term national food strategy plan aimed at making the country
self-sufficient in food production is now ready and the draft would now be
submitted to the government.

This was reported in Tanga yesterday by the Principal Secretary in the Minis-
try of Agriculture, Ndugu David Masanja, when presenting a paper on implemen-
tation of the agricultural sector of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP)
to a seminar of senior government and parastatal officials.

The plan, which envisages a massive food output in the country, was prepared
by experts from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and
the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA).

Ndugu Masanja said all regions would be incorporated in the implementation of
the plan, depending on the various types of food crops grown in the regions.

He also said plans were underway to strengthen the ministry in an effort to
plan and coordinate various agricultural activities.

The Principal Secretary also said the Ministry of Agriculture had completed a
national agricultural policy which would provide guidelines and answers to the
many problems facing the agricultural sector.

The policy was prepared by a select commission appointed by the Agriculture
Ministry, Ndugu Masanja said.

On implementation of SAP in the agricultural sector, he called on all regions
to compile statistics of both functioning and defective tractors and ploughs.
This he said, would enable the ministry determine the exact requirements of
tractors and ploughs in each region.

Another task of the ministry, Ndugu Masanja said, would be to pool all agri-
cultural extension officers under one ministry to avoid the present duplica-

tion of work being done by the officers, some of whom were serving in the
government and others in crop authorities.

next year. More than 500 000 South Africans were unemployed in 1982, thou-
sands were retrenched and many more could lose their jobs as the recession
takes its toll. Hardest-hit was the motor industry which suffered many
strikes and lay-offs. Iscor cut its workforce by 1 500 and 500 workers were
retrenched at Sigma Motor Corporation in Pretoria. Workers laid off at West-
ern Cape textile factories in recent months total 3 000. The price of gold
dropped below the $200 mark around June but improved to over $475 at the end

of the third quarter before dropping again. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN

POLICE TRANSFERS--SEVERAL senior police officers are being transferred to new
posts from January 1-~among them being former SA Narcotics Bureau chief, —
Colonel Basie Smit. Col Smit was head of the newly established Sanab in the
early seventies until Julyl this year when the commanding post was taken over
by Brigadier Frans Erasmus, head of the SA Gold and Diamond Squad. Col Smit
becomes the new district CID chief in Pretoria, succeeding Colonel Nic Els,
who becomes deputy CID chief for the Northern Transvaal. Transferred to
police headquarters are the CID chief for the Eastern Cape, Brigadier Isak
(Dagwood) van Niekerk, formerly CID chief for South West Africa and Colonel
W J Fouche, divisional inspector or police on the West Rand and formerly
district commandant for Kempton Park. The district commandant for Johannes-
burg North, Brigadier Ernie Schnetler, becomes divisional inspector of police
on the East Rand, replacing Brigadier Jaap Bekker who is transferred as divi-
sional commissioner of police in East London. In recent months two brigadier
posts as divisional CID chiefs were taken up by more junior officers. Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Attie van Wyk became the CID chief at kimberley for the North-
ern Cape and on December 1 the post for the northern Free State was taken over
by Major Koos Calitz, formerly district CID chief at Kroonstad. He succeeded
Brigadier Marcus van der Merwe who was appointed divisional commissioner of
police for the region based in Welkom. It was also announced yesterday that
Major C Henn would replace Brigadier Van Niekerk as CID chief for the Eastern
Cape with headquarters based in Port Elizabeth. The member of Police Direc-
torate of Public Relations on the East Rand, Major F N Swart has been trans-
ferred to Nelspruit, where he becomes the station commander as from January
1. [Text] [Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 19 Dec 82 p 4]

ECONOMIC PROGRESS--The Bureau for Economic Research, Cooperation and Development
[BENSO] says its latest economic investigation has shown that progress in the
independent black states is satisfactory and that it would be unrealistic to
expect a faster growth at this stage. BENSO said it was even more realistic

to lay the blame for problems which might crop in the developing process at

the door of political decision~makers. The statistical review deals with
development in Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei [TBVC]. The high
degree of interdependence between the four states and South Africa is evident

in several spheres, and BENSO said it was proof of the wisdom of the regional
cooperation’ agreement concluded last year. As soon as the regional strategy was
fully developed, it should contribute greatly to the development of all partici-
pating states in southern Africa. They said they showed that the real population
of the TBVC countries had increased from 3.6 million in 1970, to 4.6 million

in 1980, while the economically active population had risen to 1.08 million.

48



The G-3 think that the group of imams and marabouts under the
influence of El Hadj Sidiki Ouedraogo wanted to assume the leadership
of the community to profit from the kickbacks from the construction
of the headquarters. .

El Hadj Amadou Pitroipa,. without mincing his words, blames Dr Balla
Traore in particular for poor management of the first Arab grants
for the headquarters. “Of the 53 million, he hints that only

17 million are left in the fund. What happened to the 36 million?"
he wondered. According to Pitroipa, this is the reason Dr Balla
obstructed the convocation of the congress and falsified the fund's
books. !

Dr Balla Traore strenuously denies taking one cent from the fund. On
the contrary, he states that he spent more than 600,000 francs of his
own money for the community's operations. Still smiling, he went on,
"We obtained some 42 million francs from our Arab friends. Despite of
ourselves, we bought the land for the community's headquarters from

‘the brother of the very Salif Compaore because the land patrimony
granted us this plot. Try to understand that. ‘Next, I justified the
other expenses with a bookkeeping expert. The conclusions have been
given to all board members." :

In short, this matter remains very confused. The figures mentioned by
the two sides are contradictory. No one could give us objectively
verifiable information. El Hadj Boly Bery Sidi, secretary general

of the Moslem Community, was astonished that Dr Balla Traore was
signing checks in the community's name when legally he was not
entitled to do it. "Since Balla resigned from the board, he no longer
has the right to keep community checkbooks and act in the latter's
name," he said. .

Whitewash Thieves

Dr Balla Traore gave another clarification: "I was obliged to sign
the checks so that the Koranic teachers could be paid. Indeed, I
resigned my office, but I must continue to expedite current business
until my replacement is named. You see, people are seeking at any
cost to slander honest men and whitewash thieves," he said indignantly.
Moreover, he informed us that El Hadj Amadou Pitroipa cashed on his
account a check for 3 million sent by a prominent Arabiwho stayed in
Upper Volta. "Personally, I believe that the check was destined for
the Moslem youth of Upper Volta. Mr Pitroipa did not consider it so.
He even made a loan of 500,000 francs to the Moslem youth," concluded
Dr Balla Traore.

"No, that is not the way it happened," replied El Hadj Pitroipa. The
Arab personality involved stayed at my house for more than 6 months.

The Commission also attributed the rise to under-utilisation of rated or in-
stalled production capacity in industries due to shortage of foreign exchange
for importation of raw materials.

The Commission's statement said the situation in industries had forced a rise
in production costs which are not fixed.

Other reasons stated include the rise of petrol (as of April 30 this year),
used in industries and transportation of commodities, rise in prices for
industrial spares and the devaluation of the Tanzanian shilling.

The statement also said there were a general increase in industrial production
costs and companies which ordered commodities from overseas, and a rise in

petro-chemical products like dyestuffs. Prices for containers like tins, bot-
tles, corks, boxes and paper boxes had also risen, the statement said.

ISANSA VILLAGE SOCIALIST EXAMPLE--ISANSA Ujamaa Village in Mbeya region has
been described as the perfect example of socialist construction in the coun-
try. The description was given by the former Mbeya Regional Party Secretary
Ndugu Kingunge Ngombale-Mwiru at a short farewell ceremony at Isansa. Ndugu
Ngombale-Mwiru said that anybody who still doubted the construction of social-
ism in Tanzania should go and witness the Isansa example. Opponents of so-
cialism continue to spread false reports about ujamaa bringing poverty, but
Isansa has ascertained that ujamaa takes good care for everybody, he said.

TAFICO VESSELS REPAIR--A Finnish marine consultant is in the country to assist
in short-term repairs of the four grounded vessels of the Tanzania Fisheries
Corporation (TAFICO), it has been learnt. Erkki Niskanen arrived in the coun-
try last week and started working on the vessels on Monday. The work is
scheduled to be completed by the end of February, according to a source. The
vessels are to be drydocked, cleaned and re-painted as preliminary steps to
avoid further deterioration. Full rehabilitation of the vessels will however
depend on the next annual consultations between the governments of Tanzania
and Finland scheduled for next month. The vessels, MFV Hongwe and Lengo had
ran aground in the sea two times. They will now be dry-docked for preserva-
tion and further repairs. MFV Maendeleo and Jitihada also need extensive re-
pairs because of the current poor condition of the engines. The vessels,
worth 23.5 million/- were imported from Finland in 1978, and have faced a
number of problems including lack of proper maintenance and adequate training
for personnel to man the ships, especially in the technical section. [Text]

CASHEWNUT PLANT RESUMES OPERATIONS--A cashewnut processing plant, Tanita One
has resumed operations after six months of dormancy, the General Manager of
the Cashewnut Authority of Tanzania (CATA), Ndugu Edgar Makota, has said. In
a telephone interview from Mtwara, on Tuesday Ndugu Makota said TANITA I was
one of CATA's five plants closed in June this year due to inadequate supply of
cashewnuts. He said workers for the remaining four plants who had been sent
on unpaid leave had all been notified, through Radio Tanzania, to report back
to their respective places of work. He pointed out however, that given trans—
port problems, it would take some time before all the workers were assembled
for work to start. The plants are located at Likombe and Newala in Mtwara
Region, Kibaha in Coast Region and Lindi. Each has an annual capacity to
process 10,000 tonnes of: cashewnuts. Ndugu Makota said the 50m/- which had
been provided to the CATA for buying cashewnuts from the villages had already
been distributed to buying centres, but added that the money would last for
only two weeks. He said the authority was optimistic it would get more funds
from the government soon. The manager explained that CATA had by November 20
this year bought 7,004 tonnes. During the same period last year, Ndugu Makota
said CATA bought 7,230 tonnes of the crop. He said the buying season started
on October 1 and will continue up to April next year. Ndugu Makota said this
year's projection was 43,000 tonnes, almost similar to last year's 44,000
tonnes. [Attilio Tagalile] [Text] [Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 9 Dec

DEFENSE CHIEF PRAISES OUTGOING NATIONAL SERVICEMEN
Johannesburg THE CITIZEN in English 23 Dec 82 p 10
[article by Keith Abendroth]

[Text] CHIEF of the Defence Force, General Constand Viljoen, paid high trib-
ute yesterday to the more than 15 000 national servicemen who had completed
their two years' military service yesterday--men who "klaared out".

Gen. Viljoen said in Pretoria that the country owed its sincere thanks to the
men and he was certain that January , 1981, when they started their training
"seems like only yesterday".

They had undoubtedly managed to cram into their 24 months many unforgetable
experiences, many lessons and would have made potential life-long friendships.

"We are not unmindful of the sacrifices you have made, the times of loneliness
you have endured, the physical exhaustion and the exposure to danger," he said
in a message to the men going home.

"In this 'war of waiting' you have 'waited' and acted. But, at times, you
must have questioned the meaning of it all...and I can assure you that the
role you have played, even if it has seemed insignificant, has been vital and
will continue to be so," said Gen Viljoen.

In future years in the Citizen Force, or commando units, they would be able to
renew old friendships and make new ones.

He said that he wished also to thank "others who have made sacrifices over the
past two years--parents, wives and children, fiancees, girlfriends.

"I share in your joy at the prospect of welcoming your loved ones home. You
have shared his loneliness and his fear and you have walked with him in
loyalty and encouragement.

"This has played probably the biggest role in building the SA Defence Force

into an organisation renowned for its high morale and positive fighting
spirit," said the general.

ECONOMIC PROSPECTS FOR 1983 UNPROMISING

‘problems: in- 1982, the

ment is turning its guns on
inflation in 1983, a year
that promises little if any

According to bank and

Inflation meanwhile i

percent at present.

The tight monetary

have been unable radical-
ly to bring down inflation,
which many economists

The problem, they say,
lies in the way that wages
and: prices chase each

knock-on’ effects - that

regulated prices have .

throughout industry. _
A sign of the Govern-

ment’s recognition of the

problem was given when

Prime Minister P W Bo- .

tha personally. announced
recently that he would be
asking to pare its pro-
posed tariff increases and
that. efforts would. be
made to cut the petrol

While Escom was per-

only 14,5 percent instead
of 16,3 -percent next
month, economists noted
that transport prices were
still set to rise 15 percent.

> ‘The small drop in infla-
tion that should occur will
be due to lower interest

will help choke “imported

The rand has now risen

The new policy left the way open for Zimbabwe to buy Malawian rice again.

Mr Saich said there had been no reaction from Malawi about the decion, but
"this is not surprising; they had alrady told us they did not have enough rice
to supply us anyway". He did not know why Malawi had not been able to meet
Zimbabwe's needs this year.

--Mr Saich said the International Coffee Council last week confirmed that
Zimbabwe had been granted the balance of its new increased export quota.

Zimbabwe had asked for a higher, 94 000-bag quota at the ICC meeting in London
in September.

Of this, 78 000 bags had been granted in October and the balance of 16 000
bags was held back until the moving average composite coffee price reached
132 US cents per 1b on the international commodity markets. This price was
reached last Monday.

The full new quota is expected to earn Zimbabwe $12 million in foreign ex-
change and will give the country, one of the world's smallest coffee produc-
ers, a sounder base for future negotiations on export quotas.

That is the origin of the entire crisis. Because of the faults of some
individuals, the inherent problems of an organization, the entire
Moslem Community of Upper Volta is sitting on a powder keg today.

The Man Who Brings Scandal

There is a marabout at the heart of this matter: El Hadj Sidiki
Quedraogo. He always brings scandal. Suspended three times from the
community in 1975, 1978 and 1981, he always drags dirty deeds behind
him. His closest associates admit it, too.

As someone told us, "Sidiki is like a sea ‘Serpent. If you strike him,
cut off his head or else he will rise up." In reality, as Dr Balla
Traore said, "In spite of his faults, he is a necessary evil."

We have in fact verified this. “Erudite, he makes an’ impression by his
eloquence. For a long time he was considered the best Moslem preacher
in Upper Volta--until the day when El Hadj Yacouba Ouedraogo from
Quahigouya arrived. The latter influenced the great imam of Ouagadougou
who’ made" him his favored protege. El Hadj Sidiki has not forgiven the
great imam for relegating him to the background.

The split between the great imam and El Hadj Sidiki also had another
cause. The great imam never forgave the latter's embezzlement of the
sum of 165,000 francs collected by the imams and marabouts of
Quagadougou to help the family of the late sheik of Tikare.

Following this incident, on Dr Balla Traore's recommendation, the
board of the community suspended El Hadj Sidiki Ouedraogo in May 1981,
the secretary general explained to us.

The conditions surrounding the publication of this suspension, however,
remain in dispute. Some accuse Dr Balla Traore of giving El Hadj
Guebre a text to read about this suspension over the radio. In this
communication, El Hadj Guebre publicized the private life of Sidiki
Quedraogo by accusing him, among other things, "of adultry with his
disciple's wife" and signed the communique in El Hadj Kanazoe's name.

Dr Balla denies responsibility in this matter. He admits giving
El Hadj Pitroipa the text about Sidiki's suspension. However, he
did not authorize anyone to read "this scandalous, unsavory speech
which is an insult to all Moslem believers of Upper Volta."

Still following Kanazoe's instructions, El Hadj Guebre made a
retraction the following week over the radio. A few months later,
during Ramadan, the board decided to pardon El Hadj Sidiki and lift
the suspension against him.

PROBLEMS AFFECTING YOUTH, OJM ACHIEVEMENTS DETAILED
Maputo TEMPO in Portuguese 12 Dec 82 pp 6-7

[Report on press conference by Zacarias Kupela, secretary general of the Mozam-
bique Youth Organization, in Maputo, by.H. Matusse; date not specified]

[Text] The first 5 years of the existence of the OJM [Mozam-
pique Youth Organization] were the subject of analysis at OJM
headquarters last week during a press conference that Zacarias
Kupela, secretary general of the organization, held for that
purpose with the national media.

The search for solutions to young people's problems by making
young people themselves part of the solution, the development
of voluntary work, and the training of cadres in the USSR,
Cuba, and the GDR are some of the activities engaged in.

Zacarias Kupela began his press conference with the national media by saying:

"The 5 years that we have been in existence have allowed us to be active among
the young people, and that has made possible a survey of the main problems of

young people in our country."

In his analysis, Zacarias Kupela said that young people's problems are the re-
sult of our country’s level of development.

For example, according to the OJM's secretary general, one of the problems--due
to the economic structure which we inherited and which is being made worse by
the exodus of young people from the rural areas to the city--is unemployment.

The flight by young people who violate our frontiers by going to neighboring
countries "in search of an easy life is another," he said. On that same sub-

"They go there looking for T-shirts, jeans, shoes, and other kinds of clothing
that we do not yet produce in our country, not realizing that their efforts
would contribute to the solution." He said that young people like to go around
well dressed and to keep up with fashion and that because of that, "there is
now a plan which, by coordinating its action with the Ministry of Industry and
Power, is aimed at promoting the manufacture of some of that clothing locally

Zimbabwe left the southern African conservation organization because of South
African membership, It threatened to nationalize South African investments and it
broke off all sport ties, and as economic and political conditions worsened,
South. Africa became the standard scapegoat for ills ranging from petrol
shortages to sabotage. Any country subjected to such behavior from a foreign
government would be sorely tried.

South Africa's response has been to act with meticulous correctness in all its
dealings with Zimbabwe. Indeed Zimbabwe still benefits substantially from
preferential’trade tariffs which Pretoria granted to a few other countries.

The Mugabe government's attitude and actions are, after all, self-defeating.
South Africa is not affected by the demagoguery and pinpricks of a minor

African state. Zimbabwe itself is the loser: in capital, enterprise, transport
and communications assistance and scientific and technological knowhow. As a
sovereign state it has the right to deprive itself of such benefits, and as the
endless petrol queues in Harare illustrate it is intent on exercising that right.

CAPE TOWN. — Co-op- ~

eration between South
Africa’ and Israel in the
field of medical research
would be extended into
active and combined re-

search projects on mutual-

health: problems, Profes-
sor. Andries Brink, presi-
dent of the ‘Medical’ Re-
search” Council (MRC);
said in Cape Town yester-
day.2 °2 > *

For the past five years’

the MRC has run a pro-
gramme specifically de-
signed. to encourage the
exchange of scientists and
scientific information be-
tween the twocountries.

“This. programme. has
proved so valuable that
both countries. are. eager
to. extend it and: under-
take. co-operative re-
search projects which will
combine. research re-
sources to mutual ben-
efit.” Prof Brink said.

Finances have. now
been made available .by
both countries specifically
for this purpose.

““The South African in-:
vestment in this program-
me, which is managed by*
the MRC, will be devel-
oped to a total sum of”
R500 000° over the next”
three years. This financial
allocation will enable the:
MRC to get this com-
bined research off to a
good start in 1983,” Prof
Brink added. A

Areas’ which may re-;
ceive particular attention.
include research on the:
most’ effective treatment
of trauma cases— such as
burns and war injuries,
the ‘controt of parasitic
diseases affecting tropical

:.. and’: sub-tropical areas

(malaria, cholera and bil-
harzia, for example). as
well as the - important
fields of cardiovascular
diseases and cancer.

SPORTS SEEN BRIDGING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC GAP
Maputo TEMPO in Portuguese 12 Dec 82 p 2

[Excerpt] Parachutists from the Soviet Union, Great Britain, Hungary, Zimbabwe,
Portugal, the FRG, and Mozambique took part last week in an international para-
chuting festival whose setting was the city of Inhambane.

Throughout the week that is now ending, seven junior basketball teams have been
contending in Maputo for the title of champion of our continent.

In the short space of 2 weeks, therefore, our country has hosted two sporting
events bringing dozens of athletes, coaches, and managers to Mozambique.

Coming from Afrié¢a or Europe-~from countries with very different political and
economic systems--each athlete and each team is finding in Mozambique warmth,
affection, and the now-traditional attitude of heartily welcoming others--a pri-
mary concern of anyone who sees sports as an instrument for bringing peoples
closer together.

In fact, that is one of the greatest--if not the greatest--gift of sports: the
fact that it provides contact, closer relations, acquaintance, and familiarity
among men and peoples. It is certain that everyone is emerging enriched from
this exchange and that all the barriers can be broken down with a view to a more
perfect and harmonious relationship making possible the upright ambition to see
men united in the same ideal of peace, happiness, and progress.

for 25 000 tonnes of Australian wheat. The maize, which is being obtained
for the Australian government with the help of the World Food Programme,
will be exported to food-short African countries in the form of bilateral
donations, or as multilateral aid for WFP projects. The tripartite agree-

change deal for wheat, an additional 57 500 tonnes of maize. The wheat is
expected to arrive at a port in one or two shipments early next year. From
there, the GMB will arrange for it to be railed to its depots. The agree-

that the colliery was presently producing at half its capacity due to lack of
markets. He said only 500 tonnes of coal instead of 1,000 tonnes were mined
monthly. However, Ndugu Masako said production would increase to full capac-
ity on the completion of the construction of the Mbeya cement factory. The
Mebya cement factory is expected to utilise 3,000 tonnes of coal every month.
As this would be beyond the production capacity of the Ilima colliery, the
factory will have to get supplements from the Songwe-Kiwira mines. The
Songwe-Kiwira project located in the vicity of Ilima is financed by interest
free loan from the Peoples republic of China and is’ expected to be completed
in 1988. According to Chinese experts, the twelve square kilometer Songwe-
Kiwira coal mine project, has 50 million tonnes of coal reserves. With avail-
ability of equipment, the mine's potential production capacity of 150,000
tonnes of coal every month could be achieved. [Excerpt] [Dar es Salaam DAILY

review of Press freedom that Zimbabwe's newspapers were doing a far better job
than under white rule. The review, published today, said the Zimbabwe media
by "simply serving" the black majority were doing a better job than when the
privately owned Press and state-run radio and television served the "European
settlers", "It is an interesting-~even a sobering thought--that with the pos-
sible exception of Nigeria which has a tradition of Press vigour extending
over 150 years, Zimbabwe now has the best Press in independent Africa," said
the review. But although the institute said Zimbabwe had "a free Press by
African standards", it said many other nations on the continent had clamped
down on their newspapers, severely restricting their freedom. It singled out
Kenya and South Africa for special criticism. Once outstanding for its Press
freedom, Kenya became "one of the worst offenders against free speech” in
1982. South Africa moved against its Press with a Newspaper Registration Act,
providing it principle for the "licensing" of newspapers. [Text] [Harare THE

ARMING OF YOUTHS--FILABUSI--YOUTHS in training centres will be given guns to
use in defence of the country against the enemy, the Minister of Youth, Sport
and Recreation, Cde Ernest Kadungure, said here yesterday. Speaking at the
official opening of the Phangani Youth Training Centre in Filabusi, Cde
Kadungure said the guns would be distributed within the next three months.
Arms training would be undertaken in collaboration with the army. Cde
Kadungure told the trainees to be disciplined and exemplary in their be-
haviour and said that many people were anxious to see what would result from
the centres. It would be bad if they, as pioneers, painted a bad picture
through laziness and bad behaviour. The minister said that on the completion
of their training, the Government would ensure that they were either absorbed
by the industry or joined co-operatives in which they could participate in
national development. The minister said he was aware that there were some mal-
contents who went around spreading rumours that youths in training centres
would be sent to fight liberation wars in other countries, but this was untrue
as the Government's intention was merely to involve the young in national de-
velopment by training them in useful skills. Cde Kadungure, who was accom-
panied by his deputy, Cde George Rutanhire, several senior officials in his
ministry and senior army officers, told the gathering that more than 275 000
youths had been registered with the ministry throughout the country and that
more than 3 000 were in training centres. Due to financial constraints only
six big centres and eight small ones had so far been established, although
the intention was to build one provincial centre and one district centre in
every district and province throughout the country. Cde Kadungure pointed out
that enrolment at the centres was free to all those aged between 18 and 30.

goods would also be adjusted by 20 percent when goods were paid for. Unused

will not lose their real value. Mr Saich said he hoped these measures, plus

least 1 195 people died violently in the first eleven months. Leaders put the
blame on alcohol abuse and shebeens as being the main contributors to the in-
crease. Police said murders had increased by 253 on last year's 942. Soweto's
divisional commissioner of police, Brigadier D J D Jacobs, said this consti-
tuted an increase of 27 percent. Soweto civic leader and an executive mem-
ber of the Committee of Ten, Mr Tom Manthatha, blamed the legalising of she-
beens and lack of security for the problems. "The government is to blame for
licensing shebeens. This makes people relax in shebeens and drink as much as
they like," he said. He called on both shebeeners and police to provide pro-
tection for the drinkers, inside and outside shebeens. Mr Manthatha appealed
to shebeen operators to limit their business hours. "If they close at about
7pm or 8pm many lives will be saved." Azapo's publicity secretary, Mr Ismael
Mkhabela, blamed the economic structure as being the main contributor to
crime. "It is a symbol of the rootless and violent society, where the eco-
nomic and political system gives birth to unemployment and a general sense of
frustration," he said. Mr Ben Nteso, chairman of the South African Black
Social Workers' Association (Sabswa) said it was an indication of the deter-
jorating traditional bonds that held black people together. [Text] [Johannes

after his men had apprehended culprits, he had found that many victims were
not willing to open up dockets. He said this was discouraging despite ar-
guments given by some people that it was a waste of time to lay charges
because in some cases, they found no-one was prosecuted. Mr Manthata said he
was concerned that in the past days he had received complaints that crime was
rife on the trains. "I appeal to people that in cases where there are no
policemen in sight, they should try to apprehend the thug and not run away--
because tomorrow they may be the victims," he said. He said he was happy
about the manner in which his men conducted their patrols. This weekend they
would be out in full force and if it came to a push they would go into the
trains. [Text] [Johannesburg SOWETAN in English 23 Dec 82 p 3]

COST OF LIVING--SOUTH Africa's cost of living soared in 1982. Dental’ fees
when up by 20 to 33 percent in February and contributions to medical aid
schemes rose later in the year. General sales tax increased by two percent
and there was a 10 percent surcharge on imports. Mortgage bonds increased by
one percent in April and a further one percent in September. The egg price
went up by six cents a dozen in May and a further four cents two weeks later.
The price of dairy products, margarine, maize, sugar and meat also rose and
there was an outcry at the bread increase. Two attempts by the Meat Board to
introduce a meat subsidy failed and prices soared. Escom tariffs increased
in July by 6,6 percent--only six months after the 13,1 percent increase at the
beginning of the year. Escom announced another rise, but later reduced it a
little. A R5 levy on petrol sold after hours came into being this year. The

PROTECTION FOR FARMERS SUPPORTED
MB111344 Harare THE HERALD in English 5 Jan 83 p 6

[Editorial: "Farmer's Security"]

8

[Text] The appeal by farmers in western province for protection and improvement
of security in their area is understandable. Already six of their members have
been killed. Farmers in general live in relatively isolated conditions and are
therefore easy targets of bandits.

Late last year the prime minister, Cde Mugabe, visited the area and heard the
farmers express their anxiety about the security situation.

Following that meeting the security situation seems to have improved for farmers
until last week when the bandits struck,

The agricultural sector.is, in many respects, the most important in the well
diversified economy of this country, producing an average 16 percent of gross
domestic: product, providing the source of income for over 70 percent of our
people and some 36 percent of the total wage employment positions.

Agriculture has also generated over a third of foreign exchange earnings and
produces a‘substantial share of inputs for the local manufacturing industry.

There can be no question of not retaining farmers on the land. We need them,
the economy needs them and as a matter of fact the dissidents also need farmers
for it is only after eating that the brutes are able to operate.

Admittedly, the national army and the police have done a commendable job in the
past. To date hundreds of bandits have been captured and some killed.

They have had to guard our borders, particularly east and south. Now with the
South Africans and their Matabele brigade and a former Rhodesian. soldier heading
it, our security forces would be stretched more.

Most Zimbabweans argue that the government should use all the resources available
to deal with this particular problem. For instance, why not train farm labourers
to defend the farms.

Minister Munangagwa says some dissidents have been arrested and would be
appearing in court soon. But why waste taxpayers' money on murderers? Isn't
it time martial law was introduced to deal with this problem effectively?

In short, make it much more dangerous to be a dissident anywhere.
CSO: 3400/571 92 ———



While we agree with that and while we endorse the view that the cracks in black
unity are grave, we do not think too much stock should be taken of. the Labour
Party. They have always been a bunch of conservatives who were forever trying
desperately to dance to his masters voice though pretending they were something
else. It is perhaps best for them to simply go.

We cannot draw a blueprint for black unity, but we can perhaps give suggestions.
We have said the way is long and difficult and that should be before everybody's
eyes. Secondly unity does not come overnight nor is it a problem peculiar to us
South Africans. The way is full of mine-fields, and those who believe the
process will be benign are naive. There is going to be a lot of mud-slinging
and bellicosity along the way and the faint-hearted soon give up.

Perhaps chief Buthelezi has a sense of the dangers and drama involved in this
journey. Whatever he does and whatever our views may be about him, we believe
he should continue without losing heart. So should we all.

MWANZA REGION TAKING STEPS TO SALVAGE COTTON CROP
Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 15 Dec 82 p 1
{Article by Nestas Kageuka]

[Text] REHABILITATION of ginneries and efforts to secure gunny bags to pack
cotton are some of the steps Mwanza Region is taking to salvage the crop, a
bulk of which is stranded in village godowns.

A report presented to President Nyerere when he stopped here three days ago on
his way to Bukoba said tractors were being deployed to haul cotton from areas
which could not be reached by lorries.

The Tanzania Cotton Authority (TCA) had already dispatched a load of gunny
bags expected to arrive here this week. A total of 20,000 gunny bags are
needed to pack the cotton this season. The report prepared by the Regional
Commissioner's Office here, says most of the ginneries were very old and worn
out resulting in cotton pile-up there. This also resulted in pile-up of the
crop in the village godowns.

The report also points out that poor roads had greatly contributed to slow
movements of the crop from village godowns to ginneries, forcing RCA to stop
buying the crop from the peasants.

Lack of tyres was also affecting transportation, as most vehicles were
grounded.

According to the report, some 100,000 kilogrammes of cotton were still to be
bought.

The region had already bought 44,499,349 kilogrammes of grade AR and BR cot—
ton out of which 25,573,233 kilogrammes had been transported to ginneries.
Village godowns were still holding 18,926,155 kilogrammes.

The ginneries have ginned 17,478,450 kilogrammes (32,670 bales) and they
remained with 8,094,783 kilogrammes unginned.

A total of 31,200 bales of cotton out of 32,670 bales had already been

transported to Dar es Salaam and the remaining 1,470 were on the way. The
region expects to get 80,000 bales of cotton this year.

Dissidents

We'can also say poor Mr Mugabe in relation to
his continuing problem with dissidents.

In the third year of independence Mr Mugabe

has still not succeeded in pacifying his coun-
vay. so

There’s been all that trouble in Matabeleland
=~ with ‘three people killed and 21 wounded °

‘ in the latest incidents on Christmas Eve, the
dissidents saying they. were punishing the
people for having voted for Mr Mugabe.

According to a survivor, the attackers shouted
political slogans of Mr Joshua Nkomio’s Zapu
Party, but this may be because the dissidents”
were ‘probably former members of Mr Nko-

" mo’s forces.

What is clear is that areas of Zimbabwe are
still unsafe — and Mr Mugabe will have his
hands full trying topacifythem. |

Come to think of it, why should we even pre-.
tend that we have any sympathy for him,
even if that sympathy is cynically expressed.

Mr Mugabe fought a foul terror war, got into -
power by intimidation, and intends to stay in
power by turning his country into a one-party
State. . na

He doesn’t deserve sympathy — he deserves
our contempt and condemnation.



shot in the arn!’ and help them boost exports, particularly to surrounding
countries. The price control orders were still in force, but if manufacturers
found that the recent devaluation affected their costs in future, they would
be free to apply for price increases. Strict control would be maintained over
prices to ensure that no manufacturers or retailers tried to exploit the
recent devaluation to their own advantage, i.e. increase prices on the pre-
text of the devaluation without any relationship to costs. [Text] [Harare

EEC LOAN FOR WANKIE POWER--THE European Investment Bank has made a loan of
$16,5 million towards development of the Hwange power station. The loan was
signed this week in Luxembourg as part of financing under the second Lome
Convention. This is the second loan to Zimbabwe by the EIB, the European Com-
munity's bank for long-term finance, since this country joined the Convention
in March 1982. The Electricity Supply Commission received the loan which is
to be paid back over 18 years at a rate of interest of 8 percent after allow-
ing for an interest subsidy from the European Development Fund. The money
will go towards an estimated $350 million for an additional two 220 MW gener-
ating units and related equipment. The expansion forms part of the plans to
increase capacity at Hwange to about 1680 MW, making fuller use of locally
mined coal. This second stage, for which the World Bank and the Commonwealth
Development Corporation have also provided funds, should be operational in
1986. In November the EIB made a loan of $330 000 to Zimbabwe for a study of
alternative projects concerned with developing known coal reserves, particu-
larly for export or conversion into liquid and gas. [Text] [Harare BUSINESS

OXYGEN PLANT--ZIMBABWE'S industrial demand for oxygen and nitrogen will be met
into the 1990s by a new $4,5 million plant to be built in Gweru. The managing
director of Oxyco, Mr Don Bannatyne, said the air separation plant would be
commissioned by the end of 1984. The new oxygen plant was expected to cost

$3 125 000 and was being supplied by the British firm, Cryoplants Ltd.

Oxyco's in-house training resources would, in conjunction with the BOC group,
set up the training programmes for the new machinery. Mr Bannatyne said staff
for the new factory would probably be drawn from existing plants. A similar
plant was to be installed by the BOC group in Kenya and another possibly in
Zambia. Regional co-operation would be fostered, particulary for training.
Tenders from Zimbabwean contractors would be called for the building and re-
lated works early next year, and it was expected to cost about $500 000. To
supplement the plant, a further $625 000 would be spent on storage and dis-
tribution equipment. Mr Bannatyne added that the effect of the Zimbabwe
dollar devaluation had accounted for $850 000 in the total cost. The new
plant will also make the country self-sufficient in argon. The company has
two air separation plants in Gweru which will be closed and refurbished when
the new plant becomes operational. The import cost of the plant and equipment
had been financed through a five-year line of credit with the Standard Char-
tered Merchant Bank. [Text] [Harare THE HERALD in English 16 Dec 82 p 1]
