Indeed, the very first question put by the police to the surviving cameraman
was: "Is this the Mozambican presidential plane?"

Given South Africa's known capability to lure aircraft off course with fake
landing beacons, a tactic they have employed before, Pretoria's protestations
of innocence have a decidedly hollow ring.

The reaction of any civilised society, which South Africa clearly is not, is

to give priority to the dying and injured. Leaving them to suffer unattended

is not only an act of unrivalled barbarity but a grievous breach of international
aviation regulations.

The same regulations stipulate that on no account, particularly in the case of
an aircraft of one country crashing in another, must the plane's cargo or the
passengers’ baggage be moved or tampered with. Furthermore, once those aboard
have been taken care of the crash site must be sealed off awaiting the arrival
of trained investigators.

South Africa stands indicted on many counts, but the bitterest of all charges
is that Comrade Machel as well as many more members of his entourage might
still be alive today had they not’been callously denied help at the scene.

Nairobi THE WEEKLY REVIEW in English 17 Oct 86 pp 3-5

[Text]

PRESIDENT Daniel arap Moi dropped a
bombshell last week. When addressing. a
-goodwill delegation from the African.
Gospel Church. of Kericho District at his
Kabarak. home on Saturday, the presi-
dent announced that a certain church in
‘the country was producing subversive.
pamphlets in the guise of Sunday
sermons. Wondering how subversive
documents could come from the house of:
God, he challenged the authors of the
documents to join politics if they want,to
make political statements instead of
hiding behind the church to produce
subversion. The president said that,
because he lived. among the people and
knew their feelings about such matters, he
was sure that the conduct of pastors who
issue subversive statements would result
in their having empty churches. “It is not
the role of the church to preach hatred,”
he said, noting that the:government. con-
tinues to guarantee freedom of worship for
all at all times, and that no member of
any church had. been stopped from
meeting with his colleagues or,
Propagating the gospel.

The following day, the archbishop of
the: Church of the Province of Kenya
(CPK), the Most Rev: Manasses Kuria,
was reported as having dissociated the
CPK from the church accused by the
president of producing. subversive
pamphlets.. Kuria then reaffirmed the
CPK’s support for President Moi and the-
one-party system, saying that the church
-would not act contrary to the interests of
the government nor associate with those
who aim to undermine the government. It
appeared that Kuria knew which church
the president was.talking about and was

22

distancing the CPK from its activites. Up
to that time, however, the identity of the
church responsible for the documents had
not been disclosed.

Speculation, however, was rife. The
most controversial sermon given of late
was one by the Rev. Timothy Njoya, a
minister at the Presbyterian Church of
East Africa (PCEA) St. Andrew’s Church
in Nairobi, on October 5. The 10-page
sermon was heavily laden with comments
on current political i iasues and copies were
distributed to members of the congrega-
tion.

In the absence of further information,
all eyes were on Njoya as the person the
president was most likely to be talking
about. When The. Weekly Review asked
Njoya this week to comment on the issue,
he said, “I believe that the whole matter
is in reference to my sermon of October 5,
which was written and came from the
pulpit,” he said. “If this is so, I feel that I

.am not qualified to reply to the president

because all he requires from me is respect
and my duties require that I pray for
him.” Njoya said that since the president
made the remarks, many people, believ-
ing that he was the subject of the remarks,
had called him to sympathise with him.
Said he: “I could not tell them that I was
not the one; I accepted responsibility.and.
in order to help them, I asked them to
focus their attention, not on me, but on
Jesvis Christ. This is because I am just an
earthen vessel whicn can be
crushed by any power on earth any time,
but what I preach is everlasting.” Asked
whether Kuria may also have been referr-
ing to him, Njoya expressed his doubts.
“Tf he was referring to my sermons, he

POLITICAL TENSIONS WITHIN DUTCH REFORMED MISSION CHURCH
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 9 Oct 86 p 10
(Editorial: "A Church Under Tension"]

[Text] Yesterday's events, on the last day of the synodical session of the
NG [Dutch Reformed] Mission Church in Belhar, once again emphasized the serious
division and tensions within the church and the church leadership.

Even though greater unanimity was achieved about numerous issues, it is clear
that feelings still: run high especially about matters with political connota-
tions. There is no doubt that very difficult days still lie ahead for the
church and its leaders. Whether this dissension can be exorcised within a
reasonable ‘period of time remains to be seen.

Yesterday's resignation by the new moderator, Dr Allan Boesak, and the actuary,
the Reverend Nick Apollis, and the withdrawal of their resignations shortly
thereafter did certainly not contribute to the dispelling of confusion among
many of the church's members. Serious thought could be given here to the
example set primarily by Dr Boesak, a man who is looked upon as a leader by a
substantial segment of the colored community.

In his original resignation, Dr Boesak himself said that the division within
the Executive Council of the Synod over the last 4 years has been of such a
nature that he did not see any possibility of living with it another 4 years.
For the sake of the greater interests of the church one should hope that the
tension will decline, but is that possible?

Already there are signs that the adoption of the Belhar creed, which the Synod
considers the milestone of the recently ended session, will lead to numerous
differences of opinion given that even church leaders interpret its implementa-
tion in various ways.

How equally divided the Synod really was about questions with political under-
tones, could be seen in*the small majorities by which such decisions were
adopted. One of the most telling examples of this division (and confusion?)
was last Friday's adoption of a proposal by which the church, among other
things, recognized the right of students and pupils to boycott classes. This
decision was reversed yesterday.

Hence, the division remains a dilemma for which solutions must be found. That
is why such a great responsibility rests on Dr Boesak's shoulders. He will
have to accept the fact that it will largely depend on his leadership whether
the church is likely to become even more bitterly divided.

FARMERS MUST COUNTER SANCTIONS TO PREVENT MASS STARVATION
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 24 Sep 86 p 9

{Article by "Our Agriculture Editor": "Jooste to Farmers: Attack Sanctions
With Big Changes"]

[Text] In order to combat sanctions, the South African farmer will have to
prepare himself for far-reaching structural changes in agriculture aimed at
achieving a more market-oriented production, linking producer prices to
demand, and developing local markets.

This emerged from the discussions at a regional gathering of the South African
Agricultural Union (SAAU) held yesterday at George.

“We can expect major structural changes and upheavals in agriculture in order
to adapt to market-oriented prices,” said Mr Kobus Jooste, chairman of the
SAAU.

He warned that corn farmers should pay attention to the new maize price system
under which maize farmers are paid an increasingly lower price the more they
produce. This may result in considerably more corn being produced in the
summer grain regions.

At the gathering farmers were warned that they cannot produce more than can be
sold. Moreover, local markets will have to be developed to mitigate the
consequences of export sanctions. “We must stop talking about sanctions and
do more to counteract their consequences," Mr Jooste said. There is always a
market for quality products.

Food

According to Mr Jooste, inflation, “the creeping cancer," remains the
country's greatest danger. It will wreck the economy if it is not controlled.

Thousands will die of hunger if the agriculture industry goes under along with
the tradition of family farms, Mr Jooste said. South Africa is an island in a
hostile world, and the time may come when it will no longer be possible to
import food.

[Text] Uije--On Tuesday, five workers from the "Uije II" territorial coffee
enterprise received material incentives (specifically, gas stoves and radios)
for outstanding work in the coffee campaign during the course of the agricul-
tural year 1986-87.

At the ceremony to present the incentive awards, witnessed by union officials
from the coffee industry, the director of the "Uije II" enterprise, Victor
Pedro, after congratulating the workers who distinguished themselves in
production, cited the need for raising coffee production, as an important
product to generate foreign exchange.

Municipal First Secretary Visited Quibocolo

The first secretary of the party's Maquela do Zombo municipal committee and
municipal commissar, Nicolau das Neves, visited the Quibocolo commune to
become informed, "on the spot," of that commune's organizational situation.

Nicolau das Neves met in Quibocolo with the local party and government leader-
ship, and with the coordinators of action and neighborhood committees, with
whom he discussed matters relating to the commune's economic and social develop-
ment.

The municipal commissar of Maquela do Zombo headed a popular rally at which he
reminded that area's population of the current economic and financial situation
being experienced by the country, and called for a redoubling of agricultural
and livestock production, and their enlistment in the People's Vigilance
Brigades.

In commenting on the widespread process of renewing mandates of the deputies in

the People's Government organs, Nicolau das Neves urged the workers of Quibocolo
to elect the most worthy and honest of their representatives.

[Question] But how large are they as a group?

[Answer] I don't think that they are a large group, they could be one-quarter
of the population.

[Question] Do you think that the country is on the verge of a revolution?

[Answer] I would not anticipate a revolution if the government listens to the
appeal of the people. Those people want things to be normalized.

[Question] What do you mean by normalized?

[Answer] The people want individuals such as (Nelson) Mandela, who was taken
into custody so long ago, and other political prisoners to be freed. Mandela
is a leader who enjoys worldwide recognition. Then a convention should be set
up, or a large meeting, where all the leaders and the government sit down to-

gether to iron out issues which they consider important for the improvement of
South Africa.

[Question] Do you think that the ANC should also be invited to such talks?

[Answer] Definitely. If those people were to be freed, it would mean that
Mandela would also be invited to such a meeting to put his ideas forward.

[Question] Which leaders do you consider the most important representative
leaders of the blacks in South Africa?

[Answer] There are so many, and also many organizations of which the leaders
should be invited.

[Question] Could you name a few?

[Answer] We have men such as (Chief Minister Mangoshutu) Buthelezi, he is a
recognized leader. As I said, Mandela. I don't know who the leaders of the
other organizations are, because there are many leaders among them. There is
Mr Steve Kgame, who represents all the black city councils. He is a man who
should represent the moderates.

[Question] Are you in favor of a one man, one vote system?

[Answer] I can't answer that because I don't know what it means. There are
so many interpretations. For me that doesn't mean anything.

{Question] If you had the choice to scrap a law, which one would it be?

[Answer] The Group Areas Act. That is the only one which is an obstacle at
the moment.

[Question] Could you explain that?

"Admittedly," he said, "the cause of the changes of government was not in the
first case the state's ostracism, but the lifting of isolation was....

"Could we nonetheless conclude that the changes are generally small that a
government, whose policies led to that states ostracism, can reform itself,
while remaining in power, out of isolation?"

His answer was that it could not.

"There are countries that have, in this day and age, voluntarily tried to seal
themselves off from the world: Burma, Albania, Bhutan, the People's Republic

of China.

"But self-isolation provides no free lunches; these are relatively underdeveloped
societies and isolation has certainly not helped them to overcome development
problems.

"For a country to survive reasonably in isolation, it should either be highly
developed, prosperous and self-sufficient to cater for its needs; or so under-
developed, agrarian and traditional that the population has only very basic needs
that can readily be met from domestic sources."

South Africa, as a relatively developed country, is heavily integrated into

and dependent on the outside world. "This applied not only to our economic,
financial and technological requirements, but also to socio-cultural needs.

As Dr Denis Worrall said recently, ours is too sophisticated a society to
turn its back on the world.

If it is then in South Africa's interests to break out of isolation and if it

is recognised that there is a direct correlation between isolation and apartheid,
we must finally address the question: Is the South African government willing
or able to introduce the necessary political changes that would end our isola-
tion?"

Professor Geldenhuys dealt at length with the main indicators of South Africa's
isolation, including:

--The assault on the country's world diplomatic network

--The dwindling membership of inter-governmental organisations
--the difficulties with international treaties

--Difficulties with official visits to SA

--The UN avalanche of denunciations and punitive measures
--The contraction of economic interaction

--Sanctions, boycotts and the disinvestment lobby

Is it any wonder that our students appear to be just as confused when they are
called upon to make a political judgment, such as indicating South Africa for
being responsible for the death of President Machel through demonstrations,

that they instead break window panes and beat up defenceless old white women?

We put this down to dangerous kindergarten leftism that should never have a
place in our midst. Indeed, we can recall just before the NAM [Non-Aligned
Movement] summit and after, lecturers calling on America and Britain to impose
sanctions. One thought then that all the lecturers and the people were at one.

If we are to be condemned to taking a stand against violence and supporting
the American Congress for humiliating their president by overriding his veto
against the sanctions bill in line with the wishes of the international commu~
nity, we say fine.

We believe there is a minority of lecturers who believe they have a monopoly of
political knowledge, who believe their interpretation of events is the only
correct one, whosee themselves as Karl Marx reincarnated and who should have
their wings clipped before it is too late.

KANU CAUTIONED ON ROLE OF OVERSEEING MINISTRIES
Nairobi DAILY NATION in English 18 Oct 86 p.6
[Editorial]

[Text] It is often forgotten that the Government is merely a tool--the imple-
mentation instrument--of the Kenya African National Union (Kanu), Practically
all Ministers and Assistant Ministers owe their positions to the fact that they
are Members of Parliament.

And all Members of Parliament owe theirs to the fact that they are members of
Kanu, Even the President of the Republic holds the helmsman's post only by
virtue of the fact that he is the élected leader of the majority—in our case
the only--party in Parliament.

It is for that reason that Kanu and Parliament are often described as the
supreme organs of rule in the country, with Kanu having an edge over Parlia~
ment because it is through Kanu tickets that all members have entered that
“august House."

Clearly, therefore, Kanu should never be seen to be playing second fiddle to
the Government, And yet oftentimes this seems to be the case, the Government
behaving as though it is independent of the party to which it owes its life,

Constitutionally, to be sure, the Government has watchdogs over it. For in-
stance, the Public Service Commission (PSC) vets all would-be employees and,
we hope, monitors their performance and attitudes to work so as continually
to flush out all those who cannot measure up.

In theory, at least, the PSC is helped in this thankless task by the Ministers,
Assistant Minteters, Permanent Secretaries and other top civil servants. But,
as we have often pointed out, many of these individuals have vested interests
of their own which run athwart those of society as a whole.

For instance, when people accuse public offices of tribalism, they cannot mean
it is the work of junior officials, much less the masses, If tribalism ex-
ists, it can only be the work of high-powered officials because they are the
ones with authority to recommend hiring and firing,

EDITORIAL CALLS FOR 'URGENT' TALKS WITH MOZAMBIQUE
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Oct 86 p 6
[Editorial: “Discussion Is Necessary" ]

[Text] It is a pity that relations between South Africa and Mozambique have
deteriorated to such a point that the government has felt obliged to announce
extremely drastic measures against its eastern neighbor.

Because these steps will necessarily have serious implications for both
countries, one would like to believe that the government did not take this
drastic action lightly, and that the pros and cons were thoroughly weighed.

It must be kept in mind that the government has repeatedly warned Mozambique
that it could not allow its innocent citizens to be exposed to attacks by ANC
terrorists operating out of Mozambique. Security considerations were, indeed,
one of the main reasons the two countries concluded the Nkomati Accord in
1984.

Because of the drawn-out civil war in Mozambique, President Samora Machel has
lost control over large parts of his country, and it was not always possible
for him to act effectively against ANC infiltrators. The result was a
troubling increase in terrorist attacks along the South African border with
Mozambique.

Since the government cannot evade its responsibility for the safety of its
people, it could not resign itself to this state of affairs. It has now
decided to use other methods to achieve its aim.

However, the South African action is not without disadvantages for South ©
Africa, too. The expulsion of a quarter of a million illegal Mozambiquans and
the decision that no Mozambiquans may henceforth be recruited for service in
South Africa will aggravate Mozambique's economic woes. It is obvious that
South Africa will not be able to avoid the consequences of this action, for it
may also lead to a further escalation of violence, which no South African can
desire at this stage.

For the sake of the highest interests of both countries, it may be hoped that
it is not too late to reach an understanding in this matter. The obvious way
seems to be urgent discussions at the highest level.

--Private sanctions, as in the celebrated case of Chase Manhattan's decision to
suspend further loans to South Africa

--Military isolation via arms embargoes, breaking of treaties and alliances

--Socio-cultural isolation, as in bans on artists and entertainers, books,
suspension of membership of world cultural bodies

Blockages to tourism and international travel
--Isolation of religious affiliates

--Affronts in the humanitarian field, as in South Africa's expulsion from the
Red Cross

Professor Geldenhuys: "If we apply all the indicators of isolation to today's
principal pariah states, one would probably find that South Africa is on the
whole more isolated than either Israel or Chile.

"The closest modern analogy to our case is Taiwan, which is in some respects
more isolated than South Africa, in some ways less.

"However, South Africa differs from Taiwan, Israel and Chile in that its isola-
tion is combined with more intense international pressure and punishment than
they experience.

"Also unique is that in South Africa there is a far larger and stronger segment
of opinion favouring isolation than in the other pariah states.

"Additionally, exiled South African organisations are highly active and influen-
tial in promoting the country's further isolation."

The damage and powers for destruction which isolation can cause include:

--Diplomatic ostracism means we cannot play our role as a middle-ranking power
in international politics.

--Economic isolation can be partly overcome but is particularly costly for a
trading nation with massive employment and development need.

--Military isolation can also be partly overcome but is very expensive and cer-
tain technology is simply available only from overseas.

"For long," says Professor Geldenhuys, "the government publicly refused to admit

the patently obvious link between external isolation and internal policies.

"Now it has apparently accepted that the only way out of isolation is through
domestic political change...."

although Frelimo is a multiracial organization, when it comes to the choice of
the state president this may weigh in favor of one of the other candidates.

[Bishop] Where does that leave President Chissano them? I mean, is his cabinet
secure?

[Thomashausen] He is a compromise candidate, and I would even guess that the
Central Committee agreed on Chissano, simply because they didn't get the promises
‘from the Soviet Union of further support which they may have been hoping to get.
Otherwise a hardliner may have come to power, such as Mr Guebuza.

[Bishop] He has also been described as a moderate and a pragmatist in our press.
Let's talk about that for a moment, vis-a-vis his possible moves as far as the
strategy, the future strategy, is concerned. I am thinking now of his arrange-
ments with the West and indeed the Nkomati Accord, which has been given a lot

of focus.

[Thomashausen] Definitely, I would say he is much too intelligent to be a
radical or an ideologue of one or the other faction. He has a very good train-
ing, he speaks four languages very fluently, he has been a very successful
foreign minister. He was the man who sort of got the deal with the Portuguese
going, and the fact that he played a low key role in the last 2 to 3 years and
that he kept out of the Nkomati discussions was actually a sign of his wisdom in
away. This way he stayed clear of the left in the Central Committee. So he
is a very intelligent, a very flexible man, in the end the pragmatist of the
power, probably a man with not too many scruples but also a man who would like
to succeed. He is young; he still wants to have a political future, and he
knows he can only have it if things in Mozambique improve.

[Bishop] Well, you have mentioned the Soviet Union. What role will they play
now? I mean how will they, in fact, view his appointment as president?

[Thomashausen] I think they welcome it because Chissano improves Mozambique's
chances of raising further lines of credit and getting Western support and the
traditional strategy of the Soviet Union, at least in Africa, to use a country
for some strategic political purposes but to leave it to the West to finance
that policy.

[Bishop] Yes. Talking now of his ability to raise credit I think even when he
was foreign minister he mentioned quite openly that there should be some kind
of privatization inside Mozambique. I mean, what's going on there? He has
declared himself to be a Marxist, but he has also talked about a certain degree
of capitalism.

[Thomashausen] One must understand that from his background he was one of the
first people who got a bursary to study at the Portuguese University, one of
the first black Mozambicans. He spent considerable time in France. He got
very much influenced by the French intellectual left sphere and movements.

He is definitely an African nationalist. He is a man who is highly suspicious
of American economic imperialism and all the West. On the other hand, he knows

barricaded the street and prepared for these evictions. This has been the
case in all of Soweto where residents have formed themselves into street com-
mittees and these street committees are opposing any evictions. So, in Orlando
West they prepared themselves and when some policemen came, including the secur-
ity forces and the Town Council policemen, then there was a confrontation be-
tween the two and as a result four people were killed. Now, we have estab-
lished the identities of two of the people and we are still trying to establish
the identity of the two other people believed to have been killed. And the
area is quite tense right now and what I think has made it quiet today is the
fact that it has been raining since last night and people are mostly indoors
and thus the streets are vitrually (?clear), but feelings are running high and
it is quite obvious that the community is now preparing iteself, I mean, to
resist evictions at whatever costs.

[Borja] So, you think that the council will carry on its campaign to evict
council tenants.

[Mazway] Well, obviously the Town Council about 3 weeks ago held a press con-
ference in which they announced that they nave lost about 59 million rands in
revenue, in rent revenue, and obviously they are now running on debts on money
that has been borrowed from the government and they are now trying to clamp
down on the rent boycotts, but as far as I can read the situation I think that
they are just knocking their heads against the wall. [End recording]

FAPLA RECRUITMENT BEGINS IN HUAMBO
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 25 Sep 86 p 12

[Text] HUAMBO-~On Tuesday the Huambo Recruitment and Mobilization Center began
a new drive to enlist young men into the People's Armed Forces for the Libera~
tion of Angola (FAPLA) with a ceremony directed by Lucio do Amaral, assistant
provincial commissar for production.

At the ceremony, which was attended by the first group of candidates to this
branch of the Armed Forces, messages from the Party youth organization and the
Angolan Mothers Organization were read, strengthening the youths’ desire to de-
fend their threatened country and stressing the mothers' pride at their sons'
enlistment in FAPLA.

In a message to the JMPLA-JP, Hoji Ya Henda, the heroic commander and current
idol of Angolan youth, mentioned the young guerrillas' brave spirit and courage
in the first and second wars of national liberation. It was during the first
of these wars that he became famous for his valor.

In a short speech to the candidates, Do Amaral stressed the great need for
young men to enlist in the Armed Forces to ensure that the gains won at such
great cost by the Angolan people will be held and to redouble the struggle
against puppet forces until they are totally wiped out.

He encouraged the candidates to approach their future Army assignments with a
sense of determination and self-sacrifice, stressing that defense of the coun-
try is everyone's duty.

For their part, one of the young men, on behalf of the group, expressed their
commitment to the new duties awaiting them, saying how honored they felt in
knowing that will be going into the glorious FAPLA.

Prior to the ceremony, which was held at the Youth Reporting and Transit
Center, the assistant provincial commissar for production toured the center's
facilities at leisure and was briefed on their use and purpose.

that credit goes to the show
committee which had organis-
ed the show in an only four
months.

He said he was particularly
impressed by a map of West
Pokot District indicating
where the various crops were
grown, the river beds, arid
areas and fertile areas, irriga-
tion schemes, the areas with
precious metals .and all the
divisions, locations and sub-
locations.

On cattle rustling, President
Moi called on the people of West
Pokot to co-operate with: ad-
ministration officials and securi-
ty forces in stamping out the evil
along the border.

He said while the Government
had the responsibility of protec-
tin, the people and their proper-
ty, it was up to wananchi to co-
operate in the effort to keep out
cattle rustlers from the area.

President Moi also called on the
people of the district to enrol in
greater numbers as members of
the ruling party KANU which was
the supreme body in the land.

He further said Kanu officials
from the sub-location level to
district level should work hand in
hand with administration officials
at those levels.

He added party officials should
be accorded due respect by such
administration officials.

On arrival, President Moi was
met by the Minister for
Agriculture and Livestock,
Development, Mr. Odongo
Omamo,. the ‘chairman of the
ASK, Mr. K. J. Kitur, West Pokot
district show chairman, Mr. Peter
Lagat, who is also the area DC,
and other show officials.

Before officially opening the
show, the President toured several
stands including the ones for the
District Development Committee,
farm and dairy produce, the

Ministry of Agriculture’ and

Livestock Development, the
Kenya Grain Growers Co-
operative Union (KGGCU), the
district KANU branch, the Coffee
Board of Kenya, Lands and Set-
tlement, Water Development,
Sigor division of West Pokot and
the Kerio Valley Development
Authority.

Those attending the ceremony
included ministers, Mr. Nicholas
Biwott and Mr. Henry Kosgey.

Other dignitaries present were
the Kanu secretary-general, Mr.
Burudi Nabwera, the Kanu na-

tional executive officer, Mr.
Nathan Munoko, and assistant
ministers, Mr. James Korellach,
who is also the MP for Pokot
West, Mr. Stanley arap Metto,
Mr. Wilberforce Kisiero and Mr.
Neumbu Njururi.

Others included the MP for
Pokot East, Mr. William Sindano,
the MP for Eldoret South, Mr.
Wilson Korir and nominated
MPs, Mr. Ezekiel Barngetuny and
Mr. Stephen Michoma and the
Kirinyaga district Kanu chairman,
Mr. James Njiru.

On his way from Eldoret State
Lodge, President Moi was cheered
by thousands of enthusiastic
wananchi as he passed through
Eldoret town and other places on
his way to Kapenguria,

The President stopped at
Nangili, Matunda, Moi’s Bridge,
Kitale and the border of Trans
Nzoia and West Pokot districts to
acknowledge greetings from
wananchi. :

‘As he passed through Kitale
town, President Moi told teaders
and wananchi in Trans Nzoia
district to make a concerted effort
in building more and better equip-
ped secondary schools.to cater for
the increasing pupil population in
the district.

He noted that although the
district was rich in agricultural
potential and production, it had
lagged behind for many years in
providing education facilities.

The President said wananchi
there had not put much effort in
improving schools for the benefit
of their children.

President Moi noted with con-
cern that the district had only
seven secondary schools which
were not adequate to meet the
education needs of children in the
area.

He, however, commended
wananchi in Trans Nzoia district
for having worked hard in their
farms to increase agricultural
production.

Earlier on, President Moi ad-
dressed students of Nangili, and
Loreto Convent Matunda secon-
dary schools.

He advised high school students
to utilise their tinxe in school to the
best of their ability.

He told them that self-discipline
was imperative in making them
wholesome persons in their future
life.

President Moi further told the
students that self-discipline would
help them know what was right
and good for themselves and the
country.

[Answer] There are so many. Many people don't have a job. We must see to it
that they get a job. The government has an employment program, but that ‘is not
enough. Last year we made an appeal to the private sector for help. There°was
little reaction. -And we are short of money.

[Question] It has been argued that to a certain extent the residential areas
have been made "ungovernable." How true is this for Guguletu and the surround-
ing area?

[Answer] I would not use the word ungovernable. There is no area that I
would describe as ungovernable. There were disturbances all over the country
because of dissatisfaction. I would not exclude Langa, Nyanga and Guguletu in
that regard.

[Question] Do the people regularly pay their rent?

[Answer] There are some who don't pay their rent because of intimidation,
while others have a good reason why they don't pay. The people. who don't pay
are in the:minority.

[Question] Is garbage regularly removed and do deliveries occur?

[Answer] Garbage is regularly removed, but deliveries are not so regular,
also due to intimidation.

[Question] What needs to be done in Crossroads/KTC?

[Answer] I don't want to say anything about Crossroads, but KTC falls under
our council. It simply must be improved, that is all.

[Question] Is Khayelitsha a good alternative to Crossroads/KTC?

[Answer] Definitely. We have great hopes for Khayelitsha. If things had
been normal, it would have been the pride of the peninsula.

[Question] What do you mean by normal, and what are your complaints about
Khayelitsha?

[Answer] Housing. Basic housing units have been built which are very small
and the people complain about them. Because of weak construction, rain and
dust come through the roof. People would like to have another room built on.

[Question] What percentage of people in your territory would you say are
moderates?

[Answer] I would say about three-quarters.
[Question] How strong are the Comrades?

[Answer] Since the announcement of the emergency situation things have calmed
down some and the Comrades are no longer so strong.

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE OPEN TO COLOREDS -- Stellenbosch -- The Elsenburg
College of Agriculture is strict in the selection of its students and also
accepts coloreds who meet those requirements, said Dr Johan Burger, director

of the Department of Agriculture's Winter Rainfall Area. According to him,
anyone who is qualified will be admitted. Dr Burger was reacting to a question
about the plea made by the leader of the Labor Party, the Reverend Allan
Hendrickse, that colleges of agriculture be opened to colored students. A few
years ago, five colored students had already studied at Elsenburg. Dr Burger
said that he could not comment on how government policy is affected in this
regard. Currently, agricultural training falls under internal affairs in the
tri-chamber parliamentary system. He said that preference is given to sons of
farmers from the Western Cape. The selection requirements are strict and about
a hundred requests are rejected every year because accomodations and training
equipment are limited. [Text] [Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 1 Oct 86

try’s main referral hospital to acquire-the
equipment necessary for heart surgery,
which Kenyans have otherwise been
seeking abroad:at astronomical costs.

In the past eight years, President Moi
‘has stamped his own mark.on the
presidency. When he first took over as
head of state, he must have been aware
that he.was stepping into the shoes of a
colossus of almost mythical proportions.
His. predecessor, the late Kenyatta had
dominated the political life of the country.
to such as extent that few Kenyans could
conceive of a Kenya without Kenyatta,
‘and so President Moi’s first task on taking
office was to-ensure continuity in what
was bound to be a long. transition. He
retained the whole Kenyatta cabinet,
making only a few subtle shifts to bring
some people closer to the centre of power.
The term “Nyayo” (footsteps), which has
become the catchword of President Moi’s
administration, indicated a desire to
follow in the -footsteps_of Kenyatta in
successfully leading the Kenyan nation.
Even. after the 1979 general: elections,
when he had the opportunity to bring in
his own men into the government, Presi-
dent Moi again went for continuity,
though he took a few of his trusted
associates, such as Mr. Nicholas: Biwott,
into the cabinet. It seemed at the time
that-the president was loath to be seen to
making any radical shifts, being aware
that his - detractors :were watching his
every move, ready to pounce if he slipped.
He bided his time, confident that the “old
guard” that had waited on Kenyatta so
zealously would naturally have to give
way to a new generation of. leaders. He
allowed immense power to fall into the
hands of ‘two of, his closest associates,
however, the then attorney-general and
later minister for constitutional affairs,
Mr. Charles Njonjo, and a then minister
of state in the office of the president, Mr.
G.G. Kariuki — so much’so that the three
often seemed to operate as a triumvirate. '
Within a few years, Njonjo and Kariuki
‘had. assumed much power,-so much so
that they began to breed resentment by
“appearing to place an impenetrable shield
around the president — the same sort'of
role that Kenyatta’s closest confidant and
minister of state, the late Mr. Mbiyu
Koinange had played — and by frequen-
tly assuming the power-to identify what
they termed “anti-Nyayo elements”, a
label they used with abandon on their
political opponents. Indeed, during the
frequent disturbances at the. country’s

27

universities during that period, the anger
was. directed not at President Moi
himself, but at Njonjo and. Kariuki, who
were dubbed the “nyayometers”.

The first major crisis during Moi’s
tenure, the abortive coup attempt by
members of the now-defunct Kenya Air
Force in August, 1982 changed the situa-
tion somewhat. It brought to light the
depth of. feeling against Njonjo and
Kariuki; who some of the airmen claimed
during interrogation were the actual
targets. More ominously, reports surfaced *
that the coup plot was hatched as‘ an
attempt. to forestall a. planned coup
attempt by Njonjo and his followers:
Whatever the validity of the reports,
President Moi moved swiftly to distance
himself from Njonjo and Kariuki. They
retained their cabinet posts, but. were
stripped of the immense powers they had
previously held, being relegated to
ordinary members of the cabinet.

Within little more than a year, Njonjo,
Kariuki and ‘their supporters had been
purged from the ruling party, had lost
their parliamentary and cabinet posts,
and had disappeared into political obli-
vion. What surfaced thereafter was a
problem of potentially more damaging
consequences — a resurgence. of ethnic
tensions within Kenya's politics. In the
major reshuffle in the police force and
civil service that followed the exit of
Nijonjo and his supporters, many of those
who lost their jobs happened to be from-
Central Province and, despite the fact
that Njonjo was never close to the power-
ful Kikuyu elite that had come to
prominence in Kenyatta’s time, ethnic
chauvinists amongst the Kikuyu took
advantage of the situation to spread
subtle rumours that President Moi’s
actions were motivated by anti-Kikuyu
feelings. The president has often warned
the public not to fall for such propaganda,

; but the fact remains that those spreading

the runiours often find a ready audience
from those who are likely to see them as
defenders of the tribe, raising their
political stock in the process.

While President Moi has grappled to
ease ethnic tensions, another thorny issue
cropped up with the ‘increasing asser-
tiveness of church leaders, who have
criticised government. policy on a’ wide
range of issues. Over the last few years,
the president has more or less tamed
parliament by strengthening the ruling
party, Kanu, to such an-extent that it has
become the most powerful policy-making
body in the country. .

NATAL-KWAZULU INDABA MODEL FOR NATIONAL REFORM
MBO71150 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1144 GMT 7 Nov 86

[Text] Durban, 7 November SAPA~-The Natal~KwaZulu Indaba was an event of great
significance for the country as a whole, said the executive chairman of the
Urban Foundation, Mr J.H. Steyn. He was speaking in Durban yesterday at the
Natal Open Day, when he introduced the region's new policy director, Mr Obed
Kunene.

"I believe it can be said that the Indaba for the first time has provided people
in other parts of the country with an example of the workability of establishing
negotiations at a level which does not require acquiesence in stalemate, waiting
for the larger issue of debate at central government level to begin. It is also
apparent that a majority of participants in the Indaba, one way or another, are
committed to an outcome which would allow those presently not taking part to
have a full opportunity of entering the political arena if and when a solution
achieved here is indeed accepted by the government and implemented."

Even if the Indaba is not completely successful, it provided lessons that would
not be lost on the country as a whole. "Even a breakdown of consensus will serve
to show just how much hard work is required before South Africans across a wider
spectrum of political groupings can achieve an effective compromise sufficient
to provide legitimacy and stability." The Indaba already made a political con-
tribution to the country by publishing a bill of rights which stimulated the
government into thinking-on similar lines.

This "leper syndrome" was even evident in.the churches. While he was in West
Germany the South African Council of Churches, in which the Anglican Church—-
of which he was a member-—participates, sent a vilifying communication about
him to German churches. It disturbed him that the syndrome of black on black
conflict was also present in the church. He said he found no-solace from his
spiritual leaders, like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, andthe Catholic Archbishop of
Durban, Archbishop Denis Hurley, who needed to be conciliators. However, South
Africa was already in a post-sanctions era and to survive the churches would
have to start self-help schemes to make people self-sufficient before the eco-
nomic fibre disintegrated, as was the case in Mozambique.

Chief Buthelezi said he received moral support from the. Christian Democrats at
the conference, representative of Africa, Asia, Europe and “Latin America, for
his efforts towards a multi-party democracy in South Africa through non-violent
means. "The Christian Democrats felt they should get together to express their
solidarity in being democrats as well as Christians. I am a Christian.

Inkatha is waging a struggle for democracy and South Africa needs to be a:multi-
party democracy after deliberation," Chief Buthelezi said.

[Text] Early yesterday morning, a donation in the amount of 2 million. kwanzas
was made to the Veterans Association (AAC) by the Brigade of the Communist
Party of Uruguay [PCU].

The president of AAC, Jamba Yemina, a member of the MPLA~Labor Party Central
Committee, expressed appreciation for the gesture of solidarity from the
Communist Party of Uruguay, and said that the veterans really need much support,
not only from international, but also national solidarity. He remarked: "At
this time when we are undergoing countless difficulties, this gesture needs

to be repeated more often so that we may gradually surmount the obstacles
confronting us."

That leader noted: "Friends are those who show up for us at difficult times,
and who are always ready to provide their solidarity aid when we need it."

On the same occasion, the member of the Communist Party of Uruguay Brigade,
Cesar Fernandes, upon delivering the donation, reiterated the PCU's solidarity
with the Angolan people against the Machiavellian manifestations of imperialist
reactionary circles.

Attending the ceremony were Olga Feip, a member of the Communist Party of

COMMENTARY HAILS CHISSANO'S ELECTION IN MOZAMBIQUE

MB061812 Harare Domestic Service in English 1600 GMT 6 Nov 86

[Station commentary]

[Text] The swearing in of Comrade Joaquim Chissano today as president of the
People's Republic of Mozambique is a victory for all peace-loving people in
southern Africa, Africa as a whole, and the world over. The imperialists and
their stooges in Pretoria would have preferred the situation where the un-
timely death of President Samora Machel would act as a catalyst that would
[word indistinct] into a strike in Frelimo, the armed forces, and the
(2generality) of the Mozambican people, thereby creating conditions for the
installation of a puppet regime. Such a regime would dance to the tune of
its masters in Pretoria and some Western capitals.

The fact that Mozambicans bore their grief with equanimity and decide within
the body politic who was to be the successor to the late President Machel is
a clear indication of the political and ideological maturity of the Frelimo
Party. Few nations or political parties can allow their minds to rule their
hearts in such difficult times when the nation is [word indistinct] to be
facing an external threat from racist South Africa, but also has to deal with
South African-sponsored bandits inside Mozambique.

Today, we hail Frelimo, The democratic nature in which the new president was
elected is not at all surprising. Frelimo still has some of its founder members
in its rank and file. By going from the experiences of such men, Frelimo was
able to turn grief into people's elections that will instill the new vitality
into the party's government machinery to resist imperialist attempts to reverse
the socialist revolution in Mozambique.

Comrade Chissano assumed the presidency of Mozambique at a very difficult time
in the history of the country. South African threats of military aggression
against Mozambique continues. South African-sponsored MNR bandits have caused
havoc to the economy of Mozambique, destroying schools, factories, farms,
bridges, transport lines, settlements, road and rail network valued at over

5 billion dollars. The bandits have also murdered more than 150,000 Mozam-
bicans, most of them innocent civilians, women, and children.

The Nkomati nonaggression pact with racist South Africa has been constantly
violated by the Pretoria regime. In fact, while the accord was being signed,

WESTERN TRANSVAAL NG MEMBERS OPPOSE SYNOD'S DECISIONS
MB100828 Johannesburg SAPA in English 0820 GMT 10 Nov 86

[Text] Coligny, 10 November, SAPA--Another group of NG [Dutch Reformed]
Church members opposed to the general synod's resolutions on apartheid and
non-racial services has added their support to a protest meeting planned for
28 November.

In a statement released today, the 175 NG Church members from areas in the
western Transvaal said they would try to attract as many dissatisfied members
as possible to the meeting, to be held in Pretoria's Skilpadsaal.

The meeting was announced on 1 November after a gathering of disenchanted NG
Church members in Pretoria. They resolved to hold a mass meeting to decide
on coordinated action country wide against the synod's resolutions.

The western Transvaal members met in Lichtenburg on Saturday and resolved
unanimously to reject the synod's decisions that church membership should be
open to all, its "undefined judgment" of apartheid, its "encouragement" of
multi-racial services and its "overemphasis" of church unity across racial
lines.

In condemning the synod's resolution on apartheid, the Lichtenburg meeting
said this would bring countless apartheid measures under suspicion.

"Separate residential areas and schools, separate facilities and voters
rolls are also apartheid measures," the statement said.

The statement also appealed to other NG Church members not to leave the church
hastily but to wait for the decisions of the meeting on 28 November.

Saturday's meeting was attended by NG Church members from Biesiesvlei, Bospoort,
Coligny, Lichtenburg, Mafeking, Nietverdiend, Ottosdal, Saanieshof, Ventersdorf
and Zeerust.

Tribalism, corruption and ineptitude are the most common roadblocks to produc-
tivity in the Ministry, the parastatal empire and other public organisations,

And, often, far from fighting these social ailments, many officers nurse them

most sedulously,

Perhaps President Moi's decision that Kanu should involve itself in monitor-
ing the efficiency and productivity of Ministers and Assistant Ministers is
based on a realisation that the present constitutional instrument for gauging
public performance has proved inadequate?

If so, it is a happy realisation, Though it is not necessarily a reflection of
the PSC's performance as a watchdog, the fact remains that Government activity
is expanding every year, causing its structure to become more and more complex,
at the same time as the PSC composition and capacity remain constant.

That is why, probably, it is necessary that its work is supplemented, and even
guided, by an organisation like Kanu, enjoying a higher moral authority and
serving as a source of preferment, since it is the initiator of all the pre-
cepts supposed to guide all public organisations and employees.

But Kanu, like the Government, is composed of individuals, many of whom are
likely to be motivated by self-interest, Therefore, if Kanu is to involve it-
self in evaluating the work of Ministers, care must be taken to see that the
relevant team of "inspectors" are honest and above board individuals.

And they must conduct themselves in such a manner that they do not intimidate

FRENCH ORGANIZATION PROVIDING AID THROUGH AGRICOM
Maputo NOTICIAS in Portuguese 7 Oct 86 p 2

[Text] The Center for Collecting Data from Arab and African Countries (CRIAA)
Project organized by that private French humanitarian body has to date made
available goods worth more than 15 million meticals to support the current
farm marketing campaign in the district of Mueda, province of Cabo Delgado.
The goods, which included clothing for all ages and soap, were delivered to
the AGRICOM in that district. It is with this body that the CRIAA Project
maintains cooperative relations, guaranteeing the shipment of consumer goods
and production supplies as an incentive for farm marketing in the province of
Cabo Delgado.

According to Henrique Nivalha, the Mueda district representative of the
AGRICOM, the French organization, which has its headquarters in the capital,
Paris, in addition to sending consumer goods and clothing, is supporting the
district of Mueda in the establishment of proper working conditions for the
carvers of rosewood, blacksmiths, carpenters and tailors, who are organized in
small associations in that part of the province of Cabo Delgado. These
activities, Nivalha added, are directly controlled by the district office of
the AGRICOM in Mueda.

It was learned, moreover, that the CRIAA Project is also participating in our
country in the program to support the Ibo Fishing Combine in the northern
district of the province of Cabo Delgado.

As a result of the support from the CRIAA and also the government authorities
of our country, the AGRICOM office in the district of Mueda has been able to
market to date nearly 900 tons of corn and several hundred tons of various
other products, representing the surplus produced by the people.

The main products marketed, according the AGRICOM representative in Mueda,
were corn (accounting for a heavy percentage), followed by rice, sorghum,
beans, sesame and sunflower seeds, among others.

During this season, the district of Mueda was to market 1,587 tons of corn.
At the present time there is a certain optimism about the fulfillment of this
goal, provided some problems being encountered currently are resolved, Nivalha
said.

RWENZURURU ACTIVITIES REPORTED
Kampala THE TELECAST in English 20 Oct 86 pp 1, 6

{Text] Another form of banditry has hit Kichwamba, 19 miles from Kasese to~-
wards Fort Portal in the Western Region. Reports reaching THE TELECAST say
rebel Rwenzururu's soldiers have established their headquarters at Kichwamba,
within the vicinity of Hima Cement Factory and are terrorising people in the
area,

According to Miss, Francisco Nyakaisiki, who called at THE TELECAST offices
over the weekend, "many Bakonjo Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) former youth
wingers, Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) members and many of their
colleagues escaped into the . mountains with guns. These people come from the
mountains and start looting and shooting in the air in and around Rugendabara,"
she said, She noted that there are’ two National Resistance Army (NRA) road-
blocks, one at Nyakigumba and one at Rubona, But she said these roadblocks are
too far to be of help to people living in and around Nyakigumba., She said at
Rugendabara, there is a Nyakatonzi Coffee Growers Co-operative Union which buys
and processes coffee from different parts of the district. "But because of in-
security," she lamented, "business in the once busy place had almost come to a
standstill."

Nyakaisiki revealed that the Rwenzururu movement has surfaced again. She said
although people can move about in the areas surrounding the mountain slopes,
they are required to have identity cards issued by some unknown officials in
the mountains, Asked whether she had seen such an identity card, Nyakaisiki
said that was common knowledge to the people in Rugendabara, She said anybody
was free to have the identity card as long as it was paid for, Nyakaisiki
said it was still a mystery who was selling the cards, but some pepple had the
cards,

When asked what she knew of the Rwenzururu movement, she said not much, except
that there are some National Resistance Movement (NRM) members based in Kasese
who are encouraging the Rwenzururu movement.

“While in the other provinces, the majority of the districts face problems in
implementing farm marketing due to the armed bandits, the problem here in
Mueda now is different," the AGRICOM representative said in a talk with our
reporters. He added that “Minor disparities have been found in the domestic
goods sent to us, which very often do not meet the needs of the people.”

While our reporters worked in the district of Mueda, they noted that there
were 300 Xirico brand radios sent to that region some time ago to support the
marketing campaign still on hand. They have not been distributed because the
people want to use them with batteries, of which the AGRICOM has none.

We further learned from the AGRICOM representative that since the office of

that enterprise was established, no bicycles have been sent to the district of
Mueda to support the marketing campaign, although bicycle accessories have
been received in connection with the marketing campaign,

We were told in the district of Mueda that the last time bicycles were sold in
that region was in 1980,

Distribution Process Regulated

With the introduction of the new labor system, mainly where the distribution
of goods to the participants in the marketing campaign is concerned, the
AGRICOM has effective control over the goods, this official assured us.

According to this enterprise representative, a contract is signed when the
goods become available, and any violation of the contract justifies expulsion
from the process. Those participating in farm marketing in the district of
Mueda include only cooperative and private workers, and the task of the
AGRICOM is to provide support in the marketing and transportation of the
products from the interior to the main warehouse.

Because of contract violations, the Maguiguana, Luanda and Mueda Capital
Secondary Schools were disqualified as participants. It should be emphasized
that the inclusion of educational establishments in the farm marketing
campaign has contributed a great deal to resolving the problems of feeding the
students in that district. Moreover, it was to this end, we learned from the
district representative of the AGRICOM, that the bodies in that region decided

to include the schools in the process of marketing the surpluses produced by
the people.

The participants excluded also include the Cicalanga and Intamba Consumer
Cooperatives and the Inconga Communal Hamlet, as well as a merchant, Cornelio
Tinga, in the Ingapa zone in the district of Mueda, for failure to present
accurate accounts when their work was complete.

According to the AGRICOM delegates, when a participant is disqualified,
someone else who can provide continuity in the marketing process is sent to
replace him, so that the people will not suffer.

parties also reject the Boer state policy of the Afrikaner Resistance
Movement .

The only differences that still exist concern the official national language
ad Indian independence. The HNP demands that Afrikaans be recognized as the
only national language, while the KP wishes to maintain the status quo.

Unification

According to KP policy, the Indians must also receive a homeland, while the
HNP will allow them a form of local control as a first step, but has as its
ultimate goal the eventual repatriation of all Indians.

Dr Treurnicht said the HNP still does not share the KP's view about the urgent
need to unite the two parties. He believes that as long as they remain two
parties in alliance, there will be continuing differences over the division of
seats and putting up candidates. He will continue to campaign for eventual
unification.

There will, however, be talks about seat allocation as soon as possible, but
he cannot comment on the likely outcome of such negotiations at this stage.
Mr Marais does not expect problems in that connection.

PORT ELIZABETH BOYCOTT GROUP MEETS BUSINESS LEADER
MB061324 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1150 GMT 6 Nov 86

[Text] Port Elizabeth, 6 November, SAPA--The acting spokesman for Port Eliza-
beth [PE] Consumer Boycott Committee Mr Mike Xhego, confirmed today that the
committee had held "informal and fruitful talks" with Mr Tony Gilson, director
of the Port Elizabeth Chamber of Commerce, in an attempt to resolve problems
pertaining to the present situation in black townships.

Mr Xhego, who is also vice-president of the Port Elizabeth Youth Congress, said
it appeared the chamber was committed to trying to find solutions to current
problems.
He said "common ground was established and both groups agreed on certain issues
discussed."

"As a result of the frank discussions with business representatives, certain
issues were cleared and we have taken note of the problems being experienced
by the white business community," Mr Xhego said.

But he pointed out that the committee stood by its short-term demands for ending
the boycott in Port Elizabeth, which included the release of detained CBC spokes-
man, Mr Mkhuseli Jack, Mr Henry Fazzie and other community leaders.

The informal talks followed a call by the president of the PC Chamber of Commerce,
Mr Carl Coetzer, on Tuesday for boycott committee members to come forward and
present their grievances to the business sector following the reinstatement of
the consumer boycott on Monday.

In a statement issued after the meeting, Mr Gilson said the chamber would be
making representations to various authorities in the near future,

Mr Xhego dismissed reports that there was confusion about the boycott in the
townships, saying that boycott organisers were conducting a door-to-door cam-
paign explaining the aims of the boycott to residents.

He also appealed to township youths to exercise discipline and not to intimidate
"our parents" during the boycott, stating that boycott organisers were monitor-
ing the boycott themselves "the right way."

Wednesday evening, a few hours after an agreement had been reached for more
than 200 crane drivers to end a two-day strike, Colleagues of the two offic-

work to crane drivers for the second shift which starts at 3 a.m, On arrival,
the police officers demanded to know who had given authority for the office

to be opened, The crane drivers and the KPA management had been locked in
disagreement over a management decision to transfer crane drivers to various
sections of the port, According to the decision, the drivers were to report to
various berth superintendents in various sections, They were expected to ree

drivers decided to go against the system by downing their tools. The strike,
which partly paralysed the port, ended after an agreement was reached between
the management and the Dockworkers’ Union at a meeting chaired by the Coast
Provincial Labour Officer, Mr James Olang. [Text] [Artié¢le by Kenneth Mwema]

SABC SAYS CHISSANO ELECTION GIVES MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
MBO50616 Johannesburg Domestic Service in English 0500 GMI 5 Nov 86
[Station commentary]

[Text] The election of Joaquim Chissano as president of Mozambique is unlikely ©
to lead to any dramatic changes in the near fugure, given the unsettled state

of his country and his need to consolidate his position, Nevertheless, his
international experience and pragmatic views will increasingly influence govern-
ment policies, providing a somewhat more hopeful outlook for Mozambique itself
and for stability in southern Africa. At this time, Mozambique needs more than
anything a government with a practical approach to tackling its economic and
civil distress.

Mr Chissano is generally described as a pragmatic Marxist. In the late sixties
he actually had to go into hiding for a time when Frelimo's hardline Soviet
faction rebelled against the leadership and Eduardo Mondlane was murdered. As
foreign minister fluent in four languages he won respect as a shrewd and articu-
late spokesman for his country.

In internal affairs, President Chissano has adopted a similar position to that
of his predecessor on dealings with Renamo. He has said his government will
continue to pursue the war in order to end war in Mozambique. Whether he will
have any greater success with that strategy of confrontation remains to be seen.

It is in economic affairs rather than on internal security that he has differed
with the rigidly doctrinaire Marxist approach of others in government. Earlier
this year, he opposed President Machel by calling for tenants of state-owned
houses to be allowed to buy their properties and for private transport operators
to be legalized.

Since his election he has undertaken to continue recent economic reforms includ-
ing encouragement of Western private investment and private ownership of small
farms.

In foreign policy, Mr Chissano has stated his commitment to nonalignment and his

opposition to allowing Mozambique to joint any military bloc. Of particular
significance for South and southern Africa, he recently reaffirmed his support

HNP, Dr Treurnicht realized that in reality the HNP held the balance of power
on the right.

Mr Marais was smart enough to realize that he had a hold of something. he
took Dr Treurnicht and the KP in tow, and made them swallow one piece of HNP
policy after another. The fact that Dr Treurnicht and the other members of
Parliament who broke away from the NP with him were coarchitects of the NP
policy that became objectionable to them after the split made little
difference to them. They are too opportunistic for that.

So before, very long the KP, along with the HNP, became an enthusiastic
adherent of a homeland policy for Coloreds--a policy the KP members had
earlier expressly rejected in the company of NP leaders such as Dr Verwoerd,
Mr Vorster, and Mr P.W. Botha. (Dr Treurnicht even did so in the NP's 1981
election manifesto over his own signature!)

More flip-flops quickly followed under further pressure from the HNP,
including the 1977 constitutional proposals, sport, and external and internal
affairs.

The KP backpedaled so quickly with concessions to the HNP that it later became
apparent that, notwithstanding its greater number of seats, it had lost the
ideological battle hands down. Eventually it was only the KP's connection
with Mr Vorster, the party's policy of an Indian homeland, and the HNP's
language policy that stood between the two parties.

The KP has just retreated again. While it, like the HNP, has completely
“fallen out with the Verwoerdian vision,” it is apparently prepared to water
down its policy on an Indian homeland so that it may become “manageable” for
the HNP, which favors the repatriation of Indians, But when did Dr Verwoerd
ever promote homelands for Coloreds and Indians? It was, indeed, he who
granted permanence to the Indians in 1961.

It is not hard to predict that the KP will eventually swallow the HNP's
policy of one official language, especially if the HNP formulates it just a
little differently. Where did Dr Verwoerd, on whose back the far-rightists
are now perching, ever advance such a policy?

To further oblige the HNP, the KP has also begun to disassociate itself from
Mr Vorster. A little bird has told Dawie that the knot of differences was cut
after KP members made a clean breast with all sorts of revelations about how
they had repeatedly opposed the “liberal” policy directions taken by Mr
Vorster and later Mr P.W. Botha in the NP.

Hollow Cry

Now that Dr Treurnicht and his colleagues are showing their true colors, it
becomes increasingly apparent that in actuality they were always disguised HNP
supporters inside the NP. What did not seem possible to them in 1969 at the
time of the founding of the HNP, they now do with zeal.

The most recent events show that the claim of Dr Treurnicht and those of like
mind that they were driven out of the NP in 1982 was only a hollow propaganda
ery to justify their schism with the NP. A splinter party whose credibility
has been shattered like this deserves to be rejected.

[Text] Next ‘year, Denmark will give Mozambique 75 million kroners, which is
over 375 million meticals, to implement projects within the framework of coop-~
eration. between the two countries. The agreement reached in Maputo yesterday
after 3 days of talks. between the two countries’ government officials also
provides for the undertaking of new actions in 1987. It was signed by the
national deputy director of the Mozambican Ministry of Finance and the division
head of the Danish International Development Agency. During the meeting, the
two delegations reviewed bilateral cooperation and discussed ways of broaden-
ing it to the fields of fisheries, light and food industries, and metal and
mechanical industries. The two countries already cooperate in education,
agriculture, physical planning, and rural water supply.

Denmark has also expressed its desire to participate in the Bera corridor
project within the. so-called Nordic initiative. Accordingly, a source
close to the Mozambican delegation to the talks told AIM that 145 million
kroners have already been made available to Mozambique to implement five

--The closing down of 73 schools;

--The detention of and refusal to release NECC officials;

~-An alleged smear campaign against the NECC through the media, TV and pamphlets;
--The refusal to celar the way for talks with the NECC.

This action happened at the end of a "disasterous" educational year and on the

"This is a time which calls for bold action aimed at reconstruction and mending,"
the NECC said.

The NECC rejected alleged attempts by the DET to link the NECC's desire for

"The NECC is not a violent tribal organisation.

"This suggestion we see as an attempt to blackmail us and to browbeat us into
(an) irrelevant government controlled organisation.

"We find it unacceptable that the government should only now question the
NECC's "people's education" programme would continue undistrubed.

Research into the curriculum would go on.

"The NECC calls on the DET to reconsider.

could have come to counsel me as a fatHer
to his son because he knows that the
church is one and he is a father to all
Christians, not to Anglicans alone.” The
Weekly Review later asked Kuria . to
clarify his remarks and he said that he
never said that he knew of any church
involved in subversion. ‘I did not
mention any church. All I said was that

“the CPK would not be involved in subver-

sion or publish any subversive docu-
ments. The CPK is loyal to the govern-
ment and will never do that kind of
thing.”

Njoya does not believe that his sermon
was subversive. But even though he has
not been publicly accused of being
subversive, it would not be surprising if
the government considered his sermon to
be so. After all, Njoya has in the past been
accused by politicians of trying to under-
mine the government and of working in
the interests of foreigners. What there is
no doubt about is that his sermon of
October 5 had the makings of a political
statement. Entitled ‘‘God’s justice’
triumphs by reason through faith”, the
thrust of Njoya’s sermon was that the
political, economic and. social situations.
in the country were not satisfactory and
that the time had come when all Kenyans
who have grievances, including

’ “fugitives, dissidents and malcontents”

should be called together by the govern-
ment so as to speak their minds. This call,
he said, should be based on Isaiah 1:18:
“Come now, let us reason together”, the
Lord’s invitation to those who want to be
absolved of their sins. In the process,
Njoya singled out some aspects of the
country which he considered a matter of
urgent concern. He said, for instance, that.
there was an unjust concentration of
wealth in the hands of a small group of
people, arising from such practices as doc-
tors’ and lawyers’ overcharging their
clients and workers’ being exploited on
tea plantations. He accused. the Kanu-
owned Kenya Times newpapers and. the
government-owned Voice of Kenya (VoK)
radio of unbalanced and biased jour-
nalism, and said that the church’s role
includes praying for ostracised. politi-
cians, such as Mr. Charles Njonjo and
Mr. Oginga Odinga. Towards the end of
the sermon, Njoya also said that. the
current battles between preachers and
politicians are not between the church
and the government, but between the
righteous and the unrighteous, with “the.
righteous wanting to maximise reason in

23

economics, politics and community, and.
the unrighteous, wanting to maximise
their own power and wealth unreasonably
and by unreasonable methods”.

If these statements had been made, in
the same manner, by a politician or any
other person, but a clergy, consequences
might have been very different. Views
such as Njoya’s “have in the past landed
people in trouble and even a member of
parliament would think twice before
uttering such phrases in parliament or at.
a public meeting. In fact, some aspects of
Njoya’s sermon sound very much like’
those of Kenyans considered to be dissi-
dents, some of whom have fled the
country while others are serving prison
terms. What has previously been con-
sidered seditious coming from radical
politicians and university students and
lecturers is now coming from the church.
It was probably against this background
that the president asked those using the
church to make political statements to
come out and join politics. The fact that
copies of Njoya’s sermon were distributed
to the congregation may have been con-
strued as being intended to serve the same
purpose as those distributed by clan-
destine anti-government elements in the
country.

The practice of distributing written
church sermons is not common in the
country and St. Andrew's is one of the
very few churches which do so. When
asked why it was necessary to distribute
sermons, Njoya said that the St. Andrew’s
congregation was a sophisticated and
complex group and it is provided with a’
sermon for further digestion and analysis.
“Tt is a pastoral tool,” he-says, “and is just
like giving notes to students in a
classroom and asking them to take them
home for revision.” The mere distribution

1

.of sermons is, however, not the concern of

the government and the president would
doubtless not be concerned about the dis-

. tribution of an ordinary sermon bearing

no political overtones. The message of
Njoya’s sermon is the issue, particularly
in view of the fact that, since it came from
the pulpit, the government would find it
rather complicated, and probably
undesirable, to try to introduce controls
without appearing to be infringing on
freedom of worship.

Nevertheless, the charges of subversion
were yet another chapter in. the dif-
ferences that have developed between the
church and the state over the last two

COMMENTARY CALLS FOR RESPECT FOR MALAWI SOVEREIGNTY
MB080907 Johannesburg International Service in English 0630 GMT 8 Nov 86
[Station commentary: "Southern Africa"]

[Text] Destabilization has long been an ugly facet of the everyday situation
in southern Africa. Now, an alarming new element has been identified in the
destabilization syndrome. That new element is the plotting by soveriegn govern-
ments to overthrow other sovereign governments.

President Kamuzu Banda of Malawi has over the past 22 years constructed a solid
foundation of political stability and steady economic advancement on which his
country can build her future. He has been a statesman of stature and vision who
has been a moderating influence in a volatile subcontinent. In the process, he
has incurred the enmity of radical and Marxist rulers in neighboring states.

Last month President Samora Machel, using as a pretext Dr Banda's supposed
support for the Mozambican liberation movement, decided to depose his brother
head of state. He sought and obtained the support of the prime minister of
Zimbabwe for the conspiracy against Dr Banda. Also involved in the conspiracy
were the governments of the Soviet Union and Cuba. The reality is that African
governments are willing to use sophisticated communist weapons to overthrow a
brother African government.

At Nkomati, 2 and 1/2 years ago, the late President Machel solemnly declared
that he would strictly respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity, sovereign
equality, political independence, and inviolability of the borders of all states.
Any departure from that commitment could unleash a chain reaction that could
engulf the whole of southern Africa in conflict. Adherence to the commitment,
on the other hand, would put the subcontinent on the road to stability, peace,
and progress. It is to be hoped that the governments of Mozambique and Zimbabwe
will return to that road in sincerity and integrity.

Said the President: “Kenyans
must be given greater opportuni-
ty to run tourism industry, the
manufacturing industry, and in

He added that it was quite in-
appropriate to have foreigners’
taking tourists around the coun-
tryside explaining to them,
developments in Kenya, about
which they are. not competent,
and “certainly do not care about

-the plight of wananchi’’.

Anyone who was following the.

been more than satisfied. “The

HERALD REPEATS CLAIM NO MEDICAL HELP FOR MACHEL
MBO041419 Harare THE HERALD in English 29 Oct 86 p 4
(Editorial: "New South African Horror"]

[Text] Africa yesterday bade farewell to one of its greatest sons: Comrade
Samora Machel.

The Mozambican president was laid to rest with all the pomp and pageantry due
to an outstanding revolutionary, leader and statesman,

While Africa's leaders paid final tribute to the patriot who gave his life to
the liberation cause, the continent grieved... and felt anger too; an anger
that mounts daily as more and more evidence points to South Africa's heavy in-
volvement in the air crash in which the leader died.

Even as Africa's leaders gathered for the funeral a new horror emerged: Evi-
dence that Comrade Machel was still alive up to 4 hours after the crash.

The Durban-based mass circulation newspaper ILANGA quoted eye-witness accounts
from villagers living close to the crash scene who arrived within minutes of
the plane coming down but were driven off by South African police.

There will, of course, be vehement denials from Pretoria. But given the
Draconian controls under which the South African press operates, no newspaper
would dare publish such a report without first checking and then double checking
its authenticity.

The evidence is further strengthened when taken in conjunction with yesterday's
account from a surviving cameraman that the South African police made no attempt
to help the survivors and instead concentrated on collecting diplomatic bags
and documents.

That President Machel was still breathing, as were others who also subsequently
died, so long after the crash without a finger lifted to help is a piece of
calculated callousness giving rise to feelings far transcending mere anger.

It would be normal to expect great confusion at the scene of an air crash, but
here we have South African police moving determindedly among the wreckage look-
ing for papers, a pre-occupation making it hard to escape the conclusion that
they knew beforehand that the stricken aircraft was the presidential jet.

RADICAL ELEMENTS CAUSE CANCELLATION OF O'BRIEN LECTURES
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 10 Oct 86 p 6
[Editorial: “Intellectual Anarchy"]

[Text] The radicals at the Universities of Cape Town and Witwatersrand have
had their way. Lectures to be delivered by visiting Irish academic Dr Conor
Cruise O'Brien at those institutions have been canceled. This is sad state of
affairs, because it means among other things that the university authorities
in question have suffered a painful reverse in allowing their high ideal of
academic freedom to be further smothered.

It is an evil day when universities, which should be the cradle of intellec-
tual freedom and communication, cave in to menacing little groups of intoler-
ant thugs, for whom concepts such as order, democracy, and free speech have -
become no more than hollow words. Isn't this intellectual anarchy?

It would be naive to suppose that the radical elements will be content with
their victory. It is their nature to exact their pound of flesh piece by
piece. The way in which their demands have been granted may encourage them to
take even more extreme action-~something against which the same Dr O'Brien has
warned.

According to him, the goal of these people is to ultimately decide and to
prescribe who may come on campus. There is the danger that they may disrupt
the university to such an extent that normal business may be forced to a halt.

The struggle is eventually to control all thoughts and ideas. It is a strate-
gy strongly reminiscent of that described by George Orwell in his alarming
glimpses of a future of spiritual enslavement in “Animal Farm" and "1984."

In the interests of academic freedom and educational values, the radicaliza-—
tion of the universities must be halted. Dr O'Brien has advice about how to
do so. This kind of element must be taken firmly in hand and not allowed to
rule the campuses.

As expected, the charges of subversion
drew other reactions from churchmen and
politicians. On Wednesday, 80 pastors

ted Kuria’s statement that the church.

sive pamphlets and also reaffirmed their‘

subversion, saying that the freedom of
worship guaranteed by the constitution
should be respected by all religious
organisations. The most interesting reac-.
tion, however, came from an assistant
minister for foreign affairs, Mr. Ochola
‘Mak’Anyengo, who went straight for
Njoya and accused him not only for “mis-.
quoting the Bible to suit his brand of
preaching”, but also charged that Njoya
was acting on behalf of Njonjo. Referring
to a-report-on Njoya’s sermon that
appeared jn last week’s issue of The
Weekly Review, Mak’Anyengo said that
‘by calling on the government to invite all
disgruntled elements, Njoya quoted the
Bible only to a certain extent and
.deliberately avoided the conclusion to the
‘Lord’s call ‘as gives sinners conditions
before He can forgive them as in “If you
will only obey me you will-eat the goed
things the land produces.” Mak’ Anyen;
asked Njoya to explain his relations wi with
Njonjo and reminded him of the

;president’s magnanimity in forgiving

Njonjo after he had-been found guilty of
plotting against the government. s

CHIULO HOSPITAL IN LUBANGO DESCRIBED, DIFFICULTIES CITED
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 28 Sep 86 p 3

[Excerpts] Lubango--The Catholic mission hospital in Chiulo is one of the
centers of its kind in which scientific medicine is practiced quite seriously,
often doing the impossible to save human lives, as JORNAL DE ANGOLA was told by
its director, Dr Mary Veronica Fitzgerald, commenting on the results accrued
since the hospital's founding in 1957.

The center is nearly 260 kilometers from Lubango, and is staffed by personnel
who are essentially of Irish nationality. At present, the hospital has six
female physicians, including five who are Irish and one a Nigerian, specializing
in surgical medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, tropical diseases and. orthopedics.

With 70 workers, the hospital holds out-patient clinics three times a week,
with two doctors, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, treating as many as
200 patients per day, in all fields.

During the year, the center performed 400 major operations, a number which,
according to Dr Mary Veronica, varies from one year to the next, since this is
awar zone. Prominent among the major operations cited are those performed
on lungs, open abdomen, and jaws, surgery on bone. fractures which require
pins or clamps, as well as fixation operations involving bones and skin.

As the hospital director also remarked, this year, between January and August,
the hospital held an average of 20,000 consultations; whereas, the year before,
40,592 out-patient consultations were held, including 3,299 prenatal, 6,430
for children up to age 5, 29,452 for adults, as well as nearly 2,000 cases
involving deliveries, tooth extractions, and eye examinations.

Also last year (according to that official), they provided 12,874 DPT, BCG,
taxoid tetanus, poliomyelitis, yellow fever, typhoid, and measles vaccinations.
The hospital has 200 in-patient beds for medicine, maternity, and pediatrics,
and a (provincial) sanatorium, the latter with 66 patients.

In addition to a leprosarium, located 2 kilometers from the ‘hospital and
accommodating over 100 lepers, it. has a‘ first-aid clinic operating 24 hours a
day, a prenatal section, a vaccination section, one for public health, an

[Article by “Our Political Editor": “Treurnicht on Talks: KP and HNP Ready

[Text] Johannesburg~-Apart from the question of the official national
language and Indian independence, the Conservative Party (KP) and the
Herstigte Nasionale Party (HNP) have reached complete policy agreement.

Dr Andries Treurnicht, leader of the KP, confirmed that important policy

In response to questions, Dr Treurnicht said that the great stumbling block
between the two far-right parties, namely the KP's involvement in the Vorster
era, had been broadly discussed.

“I told them (the HNP) that it is no secret that Mr Vorster and I disagreed
about sports policy.”

On the 1977 constitutional proposals, however, he had disagreed with the HNP.
“We told them that the 1977 proposals (which accepted the KP's members of the
Parliament at that time as part of the National Party) was really something
entirely different from the tricameral Parliament we have now. Then we had
to do with separate parliaments and cabinet boards.”

“I am not prepared to repudiate Mr Vorster's policy. I don't agree that he is

BUTHELEZI ON NEW CABINET, MANDELA, REFORM
BM051550 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1532 GMT 5 Nov 86

[Text] Johannesburg 5 November SAPA~-Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi said today
he hoped the reshuffled cabinet of the state president, Mr P.W. Botha, would
have the understanding needed to bring about the changes necessary for demo-
cratic reform in South Africa.

Addressing a press conference at Jan Smuts Airport on his return from an
international conference of Christian Democrats in Bonn this week, he said
one of the major problems curbing reform in South Africa was the continued
imprisonment of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela and other
political prisoners. "It would be a significant step to release him and all
political prisoners. It would even halt all the sanctions against South
Africa."

While Europeans appreciated the reforms Mr Botha had implemented, only the
release of Mandela would secure him as a statesman in international and
domestic perceptions.

There could be no National Statutory Council [NSC] if Mandela was not "as

free as I am to choose to participate or not," he said. "I will ask my people
if they want me to participate in the NSC provided no one accuses me of acting
behind the back of Dr Mandela." Before the NSC could start the puppet-clauses
in the bill which gave the state president the right to appoint or dismiss mem-
bers, need to be removed and the tricameral parliament needed to be given the
"death sentence."

"We blacks are scared of the NSC, because if we have a part in it it would
legitimise the tricameral parliament. [quotations as received]

Another major impediment to reform was that black South Africans were alienated
from South Africa. Opposing groups would not talk but rather killed each other.
While Inkatha and the ANC differed on strategy in South Africa, he was not
opposed to talks with them. "The struggle of black people is bigger than myself
and my pride. I am smaller than the need for change in South Africa with the
least loss of life."

"The peoples of southern Africa know that if Cuban troops were withdrawn from
Angola before apartheid is dismantled, the independence, liberty and sovereign-
ty of the countries in the region would be threatened," he added.

"Therefore," said Castro, "we are in Angola to fulfill our internationalist
mission to all the peoples of southern Africa, who are not living in peace
because of apartheid."

In this regard, the Cuban leader also stressed that the Cubans in Angola are
not alone in building internationalism. The Angolan people are also taking
part on behalf of the peoples of Namibia, South Africa, the southern region as
a whole and in short, for all Africa.

He also mentioned that his people are willing to remain in Angola to lend
assistance "for another eleven years or ten times eleven years until apartheid
is abolished. But this not likely to be necessary, because apartheid is mori-
bund and the end will come soon."

"We don't think it will take another eleven years to finish off apartheid," he
conc luded.

NEW GAS TURBINE JET ENGINE DEVELOPED BY KRYGKOR
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 24 Sep 86 p 19
[Report "From Our Office": “South Africa's New Jet Engine 'Among the Best'"]

[Text] Stellenbosch--The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the
University of Stellenbosch played a big part in the development of a gas
turbine jet engine that is among the best of its kind in the world.

Krygkor recently announced this engine, the first of its kind in South Africa.

The development of the gas turbine jet engine may be of great value to the
South African Army, inasmuch as the engine may, for example, be used for
unmanned supersonic target planes and low-flying remote-controlled (anti-ship)
missiles, according to Prof Vos Hattingh, director of the Department of
Mechanical Engineering, who spoke with DIE BURGER yesterday.

The building of this engine is essential for the development of such aircraft
and missiles. In light of the sanctions campaign against South Africa, the
import of such engines would have been very difficult, Dr Hattingh said.

The engine is not only unique in South Africa, but with its development South
Africa has overcome a lag of decades with other countries in the field of jet
engines, he said.

The cost of the South African engine compares well with the price of such
engines overseas.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering designed and developed the combustion
chamber of the gas turbine jet engine, and played an advisory role in the
design and development of the engine's compressor.

"Our increasing self-reliance in designing, developing, and producing our own
aircraft and missiles makes the need for domestically produced gas turbine
engines unavoidable,” Professor Hattingh said.

The acquisition of this jet engine technology is of decisive importance for a
greater measure of self-sufficiency in the engine industry and also gives
South Africa a greater say in this field.

for the Nkomati Accord. With reference to disputés over: its enforcement, he
said the treaty was not dead and Mozambique would try to fulfill it as well
as it could if South Africa was prepared to do the same.

In this matter as in others prospects for Mozambique will continue to depend on
its government's readiness to accept the obligations that accompany benefits.
The cooperative provisions of the Nkomati Accord are generous in the economic
advantages that would accure to Mozambique from their implementation, but the
accord also imposes an obligation on the parties not to permit hostile action,
such as ANC terrorism, against each other from within their borders.

So also Mozambique's chances of attracting Western investment depend on whether
its leadres are prepared to act with flexibility in resolving political con-
flict and restoring stability. The lead given by the new president will affect
the lives of millions of people and in one way or another will have no small
impact on the affairs of the subcontinent.

PAPER URGES ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE FOR. MOZAMBIQUE
MBO51924 Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 31 Oct 86 p 4
[Editorial: "Mozambique Now Needs More Than Sympathy"]

[Text] Many countries in Africa, and from beyond the continent's borders,
showed solidarity with Mozambique by attending this week's funeral of the late
President Samora Machel. Now that the Mozambican leader has been laid to rest,
however, a more tangible form of sympathy and assistance is called for.

Mozambique, in the wake of the aircraft crash that deprived it of its leader
and others in the government, is more vulnerable to political collapse than it
has ever been in its history. ‘The MNR is taking full advantage of the confusion
that will exist until a new and accepted leader is appointed.

Many of Mozambique's present troubles can be laid at the feet of the Frelimo
government, of that there is no doubt. But the MNR, while it can, with South
African assistance, cause considerable security problems and occupy large areas
of the country, is not necessarily a suitable alternative.

It is doubtful whether the virtual civil war not raging will ever be decided

by armed force. The victory will. go to those who ‘can provide for the long-
suffering Mozambique people a better standard of living now, and brighter pros-
pects for the future. Under present circumstances, the Frelimo government
cannot achieve this alone. It needs the assistance of every country that values
stability as a base on which to build a more democratic and viable Mozambique.

The development of the Beira Corridor is about one project through which coun-
tries can demonstrate their willingness to becomé involved inthe rehabilitation
of Mozambique's economy.. There are; however, other pressing needs--such as
those recognised by Canada this week for enhanced food supplies.

There is an opportunity now for friendly countries to demonstrate much more
than sympathy at the death of President Samora Machel, and in very tangible
ways to assist the country he led for over 20 years.

HERALD SAYS NO CHANCE OF RSA EXCULPATION
MBO31422 Harare THE HERALD in English 23 Oct 86
[Editorial: "SA [South African] Involvement"]

[Text] No smoke-screens nor doctoring of news by the South Africans is likely
to succeed in exculpating them from blame for the air crash in which President
Samora Machel died.

Already, while on the one hand pretending to be honest by stating that an in-
ternational aviation inquiry into the crash is welcome, the Boers have on the
other hand passed their own verdict by blaming "bad weather" and "pilot
error" for the tragedy.

Considering the depth of South African's apparent involvement in that tragic
event one would have expected ‘that, irrespective or provisions of the Convention
on International Civil Aviation, the Botha regime would have volunteered to stand
aside and allow an independent probe to take place.

Instead the regime's transport minister, Hendrik Schoeman, cites the convention
to try to legitimise that country's participation in a preliminary inquiry.

How can South Africa, as Frontline chairman and president of Zambia, Dr Kaunda,
has asked, investigate itself especially in the light of the pilot's statement--
which has been indirectly corroborated by another survivor who said he heard

a "loud noise" before the crash--that the plane was shot down?

what evidence does the South African Government fear might be uncovered if it
stays out of the investigation itself?

On Monday, Pik Botha, the South African Foreign Minister, said his country's
air force had been aware of the ill-fate plane until "at a certain stage the
flight faded." [sentence as received] The world was also told the plane hit a
mountain-top and totally disintegrated--information which the photograph we
have published elsewhere in this issue would appear to dispute.

As world reaction to Comrade Machel's death mounts, the South Africans are
issuing more contradictory statements about the moments preceding the crash.

[Answer] We have made an effort to carry out what we believe to be our duty,
taking into account the historic past which has made of Cape Verde a country
located at a world crossroads. We are concerned about possible disturbances,
particularly when they pertain to Africa, a continent which has been
developing since the 1960s and which, as everyone knows, faces difficulties of
all sorts. Africa needs peace for its development. This is one of Cape
Verde's greatest concerns.

[Question] Do you believe that the sanctions imposed by the United States and
the EEC on South Africa can be effective?

[Answer] It is obvious that any sanctions can be effective if they are put
into practice. But this does not depend only on the governments which impose
them, but also on the capacity of other agents to get around them. Therefore
we see the possibility that the sanctions may be bypassed and thereby made
ineffective. Everything will depend on this, but since these are factors
beyond our control, only practice can prove their validity.

[Question] But do you believe that there is a desire on the part of the
countries which imposed the sanctions to apply them?

[Answer] We are obliged to believe that this desire exists on the part of the
administrations in these countries. But we know’ that there are always alien
elements which profit from these situations to obtain benefits by establishing
means of getting around the sanctions. This can happen in all sectors. Look
at what happened in Rhodesia, which succeeded in surviving for years and years
thanks precisely to all of these actions by elements alien to those which
imposed the sanctions.

[Question] Do you believe that the Reagan administration is prepared to apply
the sanctions?

[Answer] I think that there is a whole campaign on the part of the American
administration to improve its image in the eyes of Africans. As is known, the
OAU Assembly adopted rather harsh positions against the American
administration. I believe, however, that the sanctions will be applied,
although as I said, there are questions which are beyond the control of the
administration itself.

[Question] And what about the EEC sanctions?

[Answer] We have considerable respect for the decisions of each country, and
we believe that each is within its rights in defending its state interests.
There are principles which must be respected and which pertain to all of the
policies of the EEC countries. But we respect their decisions, since each one
knows what problems it has. Our own experience tells us that very often
there are decisions which must be made in defense of state interests. We
talked once with a country on the "front line,” a neighbor of South Africa,

Botswana, which said that “suicidal solidarity” could not be demanded of it.
There are situations in which it is not possible to demand that a country make

decisions against its own interests, provided that these are significant
interests, apart from the solidarity we deem essential.

COMMENTARY LINKS PLUNDER OF MACHEL PLANE TO PIRACY
MB031418 Maputo Domestic Service in Portuguese 1030 GMT 3 Nov 86
[Station commentary by Machado da Graca]

[Text] The history of those countries with a long maritime coast and busy
ship traffic tells us that centuries ago there was a frightful prevalence of
shipwreckers. These were people who lived on the coast and during very dark
‘or stormy nights started fires on beach rocks so that ships would mistake them
for a port's lighthouse. The ships would then change their routes and crash
against the rocks. The shipwreckers would fall upon the wreckage, plundering
all they could without worrying about the lives of the ship's crew and passen-
gers. Once its murderous mission had been fulfilled, the fire was extinguished
and all evidence eliminated so that the shipwreck could look like what is today
known as human error.

The strange conditions in which the presidential airplane crashed have aston-
ished our imagination in that, in this century of high technology, methods
employed by the shirwreckers are once again possible. We have read and heard
in the past few days that through electronic means it is possible to transmit
a false beacon to change the route of an airplane and make it crash against a
mountain as if it was normally landing at a safe airport. It is not yet clear
whether this happened to the airplane in which President Machel and part of
his delegation were killed. However, we already know that this is possible.
We also know that the South Africans have already used this technology against
Angolan aircraft. As [Ghanaian] President Jerry Rawlings said on his departure
from Maputo, one of the great problems of our era is that high technology is
often in immoral hands.

However, as the possibility exists that the presidential airplane was, quote,
shipwrecked, unquote, on the Lebombo hills, one thing is certain:. the men who
arrived at the scene of the disaster, without worrying about attending to the
wounded, got down to the business of collecting all the documentation that
they could find. They are beyond any reasonable doubt present-day embodiments
of the shipwreckers of past centuries.

partment of Prevention and Combat Against Natural Disasters has been giving
emergency aid to the affected areas. This emergency aid consists of food-
stuffs, clothing, and production instruments among other aid goods.

He pointed to the fact that the average farmer in South Africa currently pays
between 35,000 and 40,000 rands in interest on his debt annually. Because of
high input costs, it is impossible for him to recover this. Urgent
representations to lower the interest rate for farmers continue to be made to
the government.

In reference to the farmer's tremendous burden of debt, Mr Jooste said that
mistakes had been made in the past by linking financing to the farmer's fixed
profits, Future financing must be limited to the farmer's capacity to repay
his debt.

BENGUELA OFFICIAL VISITS BALOMBO, ENLISTMENT PROBLEMS CITED
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 28 Sep 86 p 3

[Text] Benguela--The population of the municipality of Balombo, in Benguela
Province, expressed its forceful intention of combating the UNITA puppet gangs
which are still attempting to destabilize the region economically.

During a popular rally led by Maj Joao Lourenco, member of the party's Central
Committee and provincial commissar of Benguela, the population of Balombo
became apprised of the problems inherent in it, particularly the social issues
still hampering the municipality's full development.

During this first visit to Balombo by the Benguela provincial commissar, at
which stress was placed on the need to defend the territorial integrity of our
native land, the working masses offered to participate actively in the recovery
of the railroad line connecting Lobita with Huambo, which was destroyed by
UNITA's armed bandits.

On this occasion, Maj Joao Lourenco discussed the process of renewing mandates,
considering the participation of everyone in the election of the candidates

for deputy extremely important. That party leader expressed great concern over
the problems cited by the Balombo population, declaring that they would be
given proper attention by the party and government agencies.

Prominent among the various questions posed to commissar Joao Lourenco was the
lack of teachers and nurses, which is making the full operation of educational
and hospital establishments difficult.

Also during his visit last Wednesday, the top-ranking leader of Benguela
Province went to the area's central hospital, to some quarters, and to other
buildings of great economic and social concern, where he was also informed on
the existing problems.

Methodological Meeting of Party Rank of File Organizations Held
A methodological meeting of the heads of the MPLA-Labor Party rank and file

organizations was held starting last Friday at the Benguela Municipal Commis-~
sariat.

South Africa's former deputy information minister, Louis Nel, was in the MNR
headquarters at Casa Banana, inside Mozambique, reassuring the bandits that

South Africa would continue to supply them with arms despite Nkomati. Since
Nkomati, South African Air Force planes have continued to violate Mozambican
airspace, flying in supplies to the bandits.

There is no doubt that. in President Chissano, Mozambique has a leader who can
meet these challenges with determination. President Chissano has long diplo-
matic experience. As foreign minister since Mozambique's independence, he has-
helped to shape the country's’ foreign policy. As a founder member of Frelimo
holding various key posts in the party during the struggle, including that of
secretary for security, Comrade Chissano has invaluable inside knowledge of the
political currents within Frelimo and Mozambique. His rapport with the armed
forces will ensure the speedy liquidation of the bandits.

Comrade Chissano has pledged to continue the programs initiated by the late
President Samora Machel. These include reorganizing,. equipping, training,
expanding the amred forces before they deliver the coup de grace to the bandits
and revamping the party organs and maintaining the role of Frelimo as the van-
guard of the socialist revolution. President Chissano has also reaffirmed
Mozambique's unwavering support for the struggle to end apartheid in South
Africa and to end South Africa's illegal occupation of Namibia.

To the party and people of Mozambique, we say congratulations and also thank
you for the lesson of democracy you have once again taught us that the party

is supreme that despair.can be. turned into hope. To Comrade Chissano, we say
congratulations. We have no doubt that you will lead Mozambique to even greater
revolutionary victories. Aluta continua! [the struggle continues] Victory is
certain!

ROLAND NJOLI, FIRST MAYOR OF GUGULETU, ON COMMUNITY ISSUES
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 9 Oct 86 p 1l

[Interview with Roland Njoli, first mayor of Guguletu, by Ingo Capraro:
"Housing Is the Territory's Main Bottleneck"; date and place not given]

[Text] He would not have any objection to a Zulu president, said Mr Roland
Njoli, who was recently inaugurated as the first mayor of Guguletu and sur-
rounding area. He is a Xhosa. As far as he is concerned, skin color or ethnic
ties do not play any role. "What is important is the brain. The best leader
needs to be elected." But he does not think that the majority of Xhosas would
be satisfied with a Zulu president, he said in an interview with Ingo Capraro.

Mr Roland Njoli (65 years old) lives with his family in Langa. His house is
surrounded by a high fence. The windows of the house have been covered with
thick mesh to prevent hand grenades and gasoline bombs from being thrown into
the house. In addition. all the windows are burglarproofed. There are three
vicious dogs, on long chains, in the yard. Following is a short report on the
interview.

[Question] Is it correct that there are about 200,000 people in your territory?
[Answer] I have no idea of how many people there are.

[Question] How many council members in your territory have already been
killed and how many have resigned because of intimidation?

[Answer] Six have resigned, one was killed.

[Question] What do you consider your single major task as mayor?

[Answer] To see to it that our people get housing and additional land. We
have already requested this from the government. Now that the immigration

policy has been eliminated, we have so many people...

[Question] In addition to housing, what other urgent needs and problems are
your people experiencing?

months. Since the National Council of
Churches of Kenya (NCCK) opposed the
queuing method during elections, as
adopted by Kanu.in August, the country’s
churches have been engaged in different
quarrels with politicians in the country.
The queuing issue caused a national
uproar. Scon afterwards, the president
said that the NCCK conference had been
sponsored: by World Vision, a foreign
organisation, and indicated: that the
organisation may have had some sinister
motive in sponsoring the conférence. Last
month, the president announced that a
local missionary. organisation, the
Associated Christian-Churches of Kenya
(ACCK), had imported arms into the
country with a view to’ undermining the
country’s security. The president’s
remarks were echoed by the minister of
state. in. the office of the president: in,
charge of internal security, Mr. Justus ole
Tipis, but the matter did not go much
further after one of the missionaries, Mr.
Lyle Hutson, died of a heart attack while
awaiting interrogation, amid contentions
by his colleagues that the weapons. were
only air guns.

As the brushes. between the state and
the churches were developing, the coun-
try’s politicians began to see the church as
playing a role akin to that of an opposition
political party. Thus, church leaders who
played a central role in the controversy,
such as Njoya, Kuria, the CPK bishop of
Eldoret, the Rt. Rev. Alexander Muge,
and his counterpart in Maseno South, the
Rt. Rev. Dr. Henry Okullu,. were singled
out for special criticism. The attacks
generally went along the lines that the
churchmen should leave politics to the
politicians and that some of the church

leaders were making statements aimed at
destabilising the government. Under par-
ticular pressure was Muge, who was
heavily admonished by political leaders in
Nandi and Uasin Gishu districts, some of
whom said he should have been unfrocked
while others asked the local administra-
tion not to issue him with licences to
address public gatherings. All along,
however, a pattern was emerging in which
the outspoken clergymen tended to come
from the two largest protestant churches
in the country, the PCEA and the CPK,
while the other major church in the
country, the Roman Catholic’ Church,
_stayed clear of the controversies.
‘In the initial stages of the queuing con-
troversy, the Roman Catholic bishop of
Nakuru diocese, the Rt. Rev. Ndingi

24

Mwana wa Nzeki, expressed his opposi-
tion to the system but then faded into the
background and no other leader from his
church has commented on that or subse-
quent debates. Njoya is PCEA while
Kuria, Okullu and Muge are all CPK. But
even after the queuing debate ended
Njoya, Okullu and Muge have invited
further criticism from politicians,. by
giving controversial sermons. An
interesting angle to the whole matter is
the fact that, despite this image; the con-
troversial. clergymen do not share the
same views.on. certain political issues. A
case in point is the one-party system, over
which Okullu came under heavy fire
recently when he criticised the system on
the grounds that it cannot sustain
democracy: Last week, Nijoya differed
with Okullu, saying that a multi-party
system was inappropriate for Kenya at
the moment because it would promote
sectional divisions, while Kuria also said
that he was for the system. Throughout.
the. controversies, there have been other
Christian churches, albeit smaller, that
have been making it quite clear that they
do not condone the habit of churchmen
treading on the toes of politicians. When
the pastors and the party were locked in:
debate over the queuing system, some of
the churches that came out strongly in
defence of the party were the African
Independent Pentecostal. Church
(AIPCA), the full Gospel Church and the
United Pentecostal Church of Kenya.
When the African Gospel Church delega-
ction visited the president last week, for
example, its leader, the Rev. Jonah
Chesengeny, assured the president that:
his church supported the government and -
the ruling party. In a memorandum, the
church said that it encouraged its
members to join Kanu and by ministering
to Kanu members, ‘participated in each
decision made by either the government
or the party. The government has, for its
part also made it clear that not all’
churches were going beyond their bounds.
Responding to the African Gospel Church
memorandum, the president commended.
the church for its work in spreading the
gospel, in community work and in
supporting the government. Saying that
most churches, “except one or so”, were
doing well, the president said that he had
done his best to rid the country of
tribalism, hatred and other social evils
but had found it shocking that some
churches wanted fo revive such evils. The
president emphasised the fact that the



Dr Boesak will not be able simply to live with these truths. He will have to
show whether with the true salvation message of reconciliation he can help to
lead the country and its people out of a valley of threatening shadows. In
spite of everything that has happened in the past, many people will give him
the full opportunity to demonstrate what he can and will accomplish in his new
leadership role.

ZIMBABWE

PAPER CRITICAL OF LEFTIST UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
MB051836 Harare THE HERALD in English 3 Nov 86 p 4
[Editorial: "Childish Leftism"]

[Text] The press has suddenly become the whipping boy for some learned gentle-
men lecturers at the University of Zimbabwe since the violent demonstration in
Harare following the death of President Samora Machel in a plane crash.

These few lecturers, some of whose actions during that demonstration should
be the subject of thorough investigation by authorities, have not taken kindly
to our condemnation of the violence during which property, belonging to Zim-
babweans, was destroyed.

We condemned the violence, not the demonstration, and we still stand by that.
It was unfortunate that students of the university which has a commendable
history of producing revolutionaries, should have allowed themselves to see
differences in colour as differences in ideology.

We would have thought that the university students would apologise in the
same way that the administration did. Instead there have only been counter-
condemnations of those who condemned the violence.

It is not difficult to understand this attitude when lecturers themselves do
not understand the political destiny of such countries as Zimbabwe. Indeed,
it is only a tiny minority that we refer to but their influence is enormous.

We report in this issue a confusing analysis of the American sanctions action
against South Africa by another university lecturer who presents them as "an

elaborate ideological defence of imperialism."

The same lecturer was unhappy that the press had not interpreted the sanctions
action that way. Yet it is the Commonwealth, the United Nations, the people
of South Africa and the international community in general who have campaigned
for sanctions.

Indeed, so delighted was the prime minister and chairman of the Non-Aligned
Movement, Comrade Mugabe, that he personally congratulated the people of
America for imposing sanctions on South Africa.

RESOURCES MINISTER VISITS CAMEROON, RETURNS HOME
AB271759. Conakry Domestic Service in French 1245 GMT 27 Oct 86

[Excerpts] Natural Resources Minister Ousmane Sylla recently visited Cameroon
where he was received in audience by the Cameroonian leader, President Paul
Biya. He also held discussions with the officials of that country. Upon his
arrival, Minister Sylla spoke to our reporter, Boubacar Yassine Diallo. Lis-
ten to him taking stock of his visit to Cameroon.

[Begin Sylla recording] I visited Cameroon for two purposes. The first one
was to deliver a message from the head of state, President Lansana Conte, to
his brother and friend, President Paul Biya of Cameroon, which I did. Presi-
dent Paul Biya was very happy about President Conte's message and greatly
appreciated the Guinean people's compassion for the Cameroonian people follow-
ing the tragedy that occurred in Cameroon. You are aware of the Lake Nyos
disaster which claimed about 2,000 lives there in August. The message was,
first of all, aimed at expressing our solidarity with the Cameroonian people
and the desire of the head of state and the entire Guinean people to strengthen
the bonds of economic and cultural cooperation existing between Guinea and
Cameroon. President Paul Biya greatly appreciated this gesture of his brother
and friends, President Lansana Conte, and also asked me to convey his best wishes
to the head of state and to the Guinean people. I can say that the discussions
we held were positive.

The second purpose of my visit was to strengthen the links existing between
our alumina-producing company Friguia [expansion unknown] to the Cameroonian
company, Cameroon Aluminium [Alucam]. As you know, it is. our company Friguia
which supplies the Cameroonian company=~an aluminium-producing company--with
all the alumina it needs. In view of the problems currently facing the
marketing of alumina, we decided that it was time that we thought of strengthen-
ing the links existing between us and our customers by creating new conditions
of cooperation and trade. I discussed this issue with President Paul Biya who
expressed the sincere hope that these links would be strengthened. I also held
discussions on the issue with the ministers of commerce and industry, mines,
and economy and finance who also expressed the hope that the company Friguia
would continue to supply Alucam with all the alumina it needs. The discussions
we held in this connection were positive and we are expecting a Cameroonian
delegation to visit Conakry to negotiate long-term agreements so that the
company Friguia can continue to supply Alucam with the (170) tons of alumina
it needs under conditions which will be beneficial for both companies.

THE Chief’ Secretary, Mr.

who still looked for guidance
from foreign consultants for

He said the practice was
making foreign professionals
to continue — entrenching,
themselves in certain

The Ghief Secretary said
this on Thursday when -he

The Chief Secretary also
called on African managers

‘stop discriminating against

giving out loans.

He said that some

where a Mf Patel was

peanuts, which only helped
to indebt him to the bank,
while his counterpart Asian

On indigenisation of the

They are talking of virtually "zero visibility" while at the same time admitting
they had the presidential flight on their radar screens even while it was fly-
ing over Zimbabwe.

They now also talk of the plane "touching the crest" of a hill after turning
west into South Africa rather than east into Maputo.

But everyone is left guessing as to what the South African Air Force's reaction
was when the plane strayed into South African airspace before disaster struck.

It is such contradictions, coupled with the muzzling of the survivors now in
South African hospitals, that make that country appear more and more involved
in the Machel tragedy.

CROSSROADS, KTC RESIDENTS TO SUE MINISTER FOR DAMAGES
MB121152 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1123 GMT 12 Nov 86

[Text] Cape Town, 12 November, SAPA--Former Crossroads and KTC residents are
to sue the minister of law and order for sums amounting to at least R5 million.

In all, 3300 separate claims are involved, most of them for property lost or
damaged when the camps were destroyed in May and June.

The squatters allege police took part in unlawful attacks on homes, or failed
to take reasonable steps to prevent the attacks in circumstances where they
could and should have acted.

A spokesman for the Legal Resources Centre in Cape Town, which is involved in
preparing the claims, said: "We believe the case is unprecedented in terms of
the number of claims out of one set of circumstances."

He said that in theory the courts were faced with hearing each of the 3,300
suits because no facility existed under South African law for the collective
action to be brought.

Smaller claims--to be heard in the magistrates court--ranged between R200 and
R5,000, but several would have to be heard in the supreme court because of the
large sums claimed, he said.

The largest claim is for R100,000 arising from the destruction of the Methodist
Church in Africa at KIC.

The spokesman said squatters decided to sue for damages after the then minister
of law and order, Mr Louis Le Grange, decided in August not to oppose a final
order restraining security forces and "witdoeke" [white scarves] from attacking
the KTC squatter camp.

He said several peninsula legal firms were completing the first 1,500 claims.
Many summons had been served and the rest would be delivered by early December.
About 15 legal firms would be involved in the actions.

MOZAMBIQUE

EXPERTS VIEW CHISSANO ELECTION AS 'COMPROMISE'
MBO70746 Joahnnesburg Television Service in English 1830 GMT 6 Nov 86

[Interview with Professor Andre Thomashausen, specialist on Mozambique, by
John Bishop on the "Network" program, introduced by Gillian van Houten--live]

[Text] [Van Houten] This morning Mr Joaquim Chissano was sworn in as the new
president of Mozambique. After this brief profile of him John talks to Profes-
sor Andre Thomashausen, a Mozambican specialist, on the problems facing Presi-
dent Chissano.

[Bishop] Forty-seven-year-old Mr Joaquim Chissano comes from Gaza, the same
province where the late President Samora Machel was born. Regarded as a highly-
intelligent man speaking several European and African languages fluently,
President Chissano was one of the first black Mozambicans to complete the
Portuguese Matriculation Examination with distinction. After 2 years of study-
ing medilcine in Lisbon, he went into exile in France and later became a founder
of Frelimo, which was established in Dar es Salaam in 1962... Appointed Frelimo's
secretary for defense and security in 1968, he was a leading figure in the agree-
ment of Algiers which, after the prolonged bush war waged by Frelimo, brought
the Portuguese Government to the negotiating table and resulted in Mozambique
being handed over to Frelimo in 1974. In the interim period before the handover,
he served as transitional prime minister in a government that included ministers
from both Frelimo and the Portuguese. He later became foreign minister in a
post which he held until earlier this week when he was elected to the presidency.
Highly regarded as a skilled idplomat, he has been described as witty, charming,
and clever. Since his election he stated that he will pursue the late president's
socialist policies, and he is on record as saying that he believes the Nkomati
Accord with South Africa is not dead. Prof Thomashausen, was President Chissano
a compromise choice? I think it was mooted that Marcelino dos Santos was a
frontrunner for the post.

[Thomashausen] Definitely, Marcelino dos Santos was number one after President
Machel, the late President Machel, and it would have been natural normally that
he should have succeeded. However, Mr Marcelino dos Santos always stayed in
the background. He was the man who pulled the strings and he pulls them for
Moscow. He is definitely linked to the faction which was also opposed to
President Mondlane, the first president of Frelimo. So he has another defect,
one could say. He is not entirely a black man. He is a colored man, and

INKATHA VICTIM OF 'DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN'
MBO71913 Johannesburg THE WEEKLY MAIL in English 7-13 Nov 86 pp 1, 2
[Anton Harbor Report: "Inkatha Also on 'Disinfo' Hit List"]

[Text] Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi's Inkatha has been a victim of covert
government efforts to discredit legal black political organisations and re-
strict publicity about them.

Last week the WEEKLY MAIL revealed that civil servants had been involved in
a disinformation campaign, using their official positions to discredit and
spread disunity with lawful black political organisations.

Now it has been established that officials in the former Department of Foreign
Affairs and Information were instructed to ensure Inkatha does not become a
“political power-base" for the African National Congress.

They were to do this by making contact with local media "to restrict publicity
for Inkatha." They were to report monthly on progress in fulfilling these in-
structions.

These instructions were issued in 1984. It is not known whether they are still
in force.

Asked to comment yesterday, Buthelezi said: "This comes as no surprise to me
and once and for all should vindicate what I have been saying for many years.

"Tt is time the government came to grips with the fact that whatever they try
to do will fail because black South Africa is determined to be free and we will
not rest until we are liberated."

The disinformation campaign involved the Department of Foreign Affairs and In-
formation and the Joint Management Centres (JMC's), the shadowy local branches
of the State Security Council. Hundreds of JMC's and sub- and min-JMC's exist
around the country.

Officials had been instructed to use "sympathetic media" to spread disinforma-~

tion and to find publications that could be "bought" for this purpose. Particu-
lar targets named were the United Democratic Front and the SA Council of Sport.

We are quite aware of the possible massive resources that could be available
to the MNR simply because of their "anti-communist" label, But if Mozambique
is where every able-bodied Zimbabwean is going to die in defence of that
country's and our own sovereignty, then so be it.

We see South Africa's hand in the MNR's declarations. These are a form of
pressure from the Boers who ‘have suddenly and unashamedly decided to assign
themselves the duty of bringing together the MNR and the Frelimo government,
just as President Machel was being buried.

The determination of. the people. of Mozambique and that of ourselves did not
die with Samora. He would have wanted us to fight until victory. And that
is exactly what we are going to do.

Asked to comment on the “disinformation scandal," the Bureau for Information
this week said it was "in no position to comment on activities allegedly carried
out by the (former) Department of Foreign Affairs and Information."

The bureau described the WEEKLY MAIL's story as "unsourced and unsubstantiated
allegations.

"You may also be interested to learn that the bureau does not carry out clandes-
tine operations and.does not administer any secret.:funds," it said.

However, the WEEKLY MAIL has established that the bureau is extensively involved
in the JMC's, which are shrouded in secrecy and have been accused of involvement
in disinformation. ‘The‘disinformation campaign was undertaken through the
department as well as through the JMC's.

Although the hundreds of JMC"s, min- and sub-JMC's that exist around the country
are now openly acknowledged as a key part of the government's response to the
current crisis, their operations are still covert.

All JMC, min- and sub-JMC members, for example, have to get security clearance
before they can join. Although this has always been the case, it has been
severely tightened up in recent months--despite official claims that the JMC's
are "not a secret."

Almost all JMC documents, according to sources close to the structure, are
marked "secret" and are delivered to JMC members by representatives of the mili-
tary amid tight security.

The role of the Security Forces on the JMC's--almost all of them have as chair-
men members of the military or police--is such that even some JMC members feel
that unless they are on the Security Force-Dominated Joint Intelligence Com-
mittee of their JMC, they are not fully informed about JMC activities.

JMC members confirm that control of the web-like structure lies firmly in the
hands of South Africa's “security family"--The National Intelligence Service,
the Security Police, the SA Police and Military Intelligence.

The WEEKLY MATL can reveal that JMC's discuss a wide range of matters—~-some in-
volving attempts to cut through red tape in order to address local grievances,
others involving only security and political matters,

For example, JMC's in the northern Transvaal are briefed on the.situation in
neighbouring states, including the activities of RENAMO, ZAPU, ZANU and the
ANC ‘and these are extensively discussed. Also discussed were activities at
the University of the North.

The Tzaneen JMC once discussed a textbook being used in the local black schools.
The JMC recommended the withdrawal of the book.

In June, 1982, Kenya became a de jure
one-party state. The move in itself did not
cause any major ripples on the political
scene, since Kenya has operated as a de
facto one-party state since 1969, when the
Kenya People’s Union was proscribed,
but the enactment served to demonstrate
that the president was firmly in control
and nipped in the bud any plans govern-
ment. opponents, especially those on the
left of the political spectrum, might have
had in their attempts to gain a larger role
in the country’s affairs.

Then church leaders became
more vocal in their criticism of
certain policies. According to these
leaders, it is their duty to point out any.
evils in society. The matter was brought
to a. fore earlier this year when Kanu
endorsed a change in the electoral system
to introduce preliminary elections as a
prelude to the main general elections,
where voters would elect their candidate
by queuing rather than by secret ballot.

Whilst the matier looked like it only re-
mained to be tabled in parliament and duly
passed, the country’s politicians received ashock
when church leaders rose up in vociferous
opposition to the plan, saying that voting
by queuing was not compatible with the

democratic process. As a national debate’

built up over the issue, President Moi put
a stop to it by exempting certain
categories of people, including church
leaders, from the queuing process —

instead, they would be allowed to vote by.

proxy, he said. The church leaders have
continued to speak out on a wide range of
social issues, however, ignoring the advice
of politicians that they confine them-
selves to spiritual matters.

President Moi has managed to keep the
country’s economy on an even keel, no
small feat considering that he took power
at a time when the coffee boom, which
had put so much money into thé country’s
coffers, was coming to an end. He has also
had to contend with two serious droughts,
one in the early years of his presidency
and another in 1983/84 that seriously
depleted the country’s resources. Presen-
tly, the country enjoys a good credit-
rating from the World Bank and, unlike
many other developing countries, had not
defaulted on loan repayments. President
Moi takes a personal interest on the per-
formance of the private sector, which he
sees as the key to Kenya’s economic
advancement. He has initiated the
Investment Promotion Advisory Centre,
whose main purpose is to help potential

28

private investors find an easy path
towards achieving their objectives.

In keeping with his common touch,
President Moi has taken a keen interest in
the performance of the fledgling informal
sector, realising that it contributes
significantly to the national economy.
The president has taken the trouble to
visit some “jua-kali” (outdoor) establish-
ments, to see for himself the kind off
problems faced by artisans as they strive
to make an honest living. At the behest of
the president, the Nairobi City Commis-
sion has taken steps to put up sheds for
the artisans in the Gikomba area, with
piped water and electric power. The
Kenya Commercial Bank has also
announced a scheme to offer financial
help to those in the informal sector. That
the president’s faith is not to be taken
lightly was demonstrated only last week
after the Nairobi International Show,
when it was revealed that officials from
other African countries had been so
impressed by the skills of Kenya’s jua kali
artisans that a scheme is in the pipeline to
send some of them to help set up similar
industries in some central African coun-
tries.

Foreign affairs will probably be another
milestone in President Moi’s administra-
tion, Although there has been no major
shift in foreign policy, the president has
worked hard to make the country’s voice
heard in international fora. He gained the
distinction of chairing the Organisation of
African Unity (OAU) for an unpreceden-
ted two years, guiding the continental
body through the most serious crisis it has
faced since. its inception when it was con-
fronted with a major split over the inclu-
sion of Polisario as a full member, against
the wishes of Morocco and a number of
other countries. President Moi aleo saw
over the normalisation. of relations with
Tanzania, and played a major role as
chairman of the Uganda peace talks. He

He noted that in order to stimulate production, social measures are now under

In fact, the vice minister also announced that the Angolan government approved
a resolution earlier this year to set up a coffee development fund consisting
of 20 to 30 percent of export receipts. The fund would assist not only state-
owned companies, but also the peasants, small farmers and private companies.

He said that under the emergency program set up two years ago by the Party, the
People's Republic of Angola will make major investments in propagation equip-
ment, especially nurseries, in order to begin shortly a propagation project
generally designed to replace old trees, some of which are over 30 years old.

not suited for Africa and in fact it does not work anywhere.

[Bishop] Plannification--planned economy, that everything has to go according
to plan. A building may only be erected if it has been planned for. You can
only petrol if this is provided for in the plan and so forth. [sentence as
received] You get an economy which where free enterprise is totally absent.

[Bishop] So you are suggesting that he is actually intrinsically against all
that?

[Thomashausen] He would very much like to see this go, I am positive. He
raised quite a stir'in the Central Committee when he held his speech in favor
of privatization. He quite candidly said, look we cannot keep on saying we
want foreign money and foreign investments if we don't provide the necessary
basis for that. He wants to privatize at least agriculture--small farming,
small businesses, and give people against something to work for.

[Bishop] What about his attitude to the MNR now? What do you see happening
there?

[Thomashausen] Again, I would say as a skillful diplomat, a man who is ex-
perienced in Africa and Mozambican and international politics he will follow
two strategies, one being to reduce the cause of grievances of the population
meaning better provision with food, get the communications lines going again,
get medical assistance going, get. the schools going and helpfully the support
to Renamo will then decrease, and the second line would be a military one-—that
one would try to secure certain vital areas of Mozambique from infiltration by
Renamo.

[Bishop] Thank you very much.

ANGOLA

COUNTRY ELECTED ICO VICE CHAIRMAN FOR 1986-1987 COFFEE YEAR
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 28 Sep 86 pp 1, 12

[Text] LONDON--At the 46th session of the International Coffee Organization
held 15-25 September in London, the People's Republic of Angola was elected
vice chairman of the organization for the 1986/87 coffee year, which begins on
1 October.

ANGOP learned Friday that Augusto Caetano Joao, Angolan vice minister for
coffee, will assume the office of vice chairman of the board of directors by
decision of the African coffee-producing countries. Peru was elected chairman.

Consequently, the People's Republic of Angola, one of the largest growers of
hardy coffee, is listed by the ICO as a country with one of the most effective
foreign marketing policies, because Angolan coffee is selling for good prices
on the international market.

Gaetano Joao, in explaining Angola's eminence in the world market, said that
Angola's foreign marketing policies have been based on profitable prices re-
gardless of whether countries were members or not, an approach which he said
was defended by the ICO board.

He also went on to say that the secret of this policy is due to the belief
abroad that Angola is committed to a well organized and well controlled state
sector, quickly adding that "We shall continue to control exports so that the
prices for Angolan coffee, which are known all over the world, and particularly
quality, will really be protected."

With respect to the good prices paid for Angolan coffee on the international
market, he stressed that "In this regard, more coffee should be offered for
sale even if this means that we would have to produce much more in order to be
able to choose the best quality and lots to meet consumer needs."

Asked about the reorganization of Angolan coffee plantations, Caetano Joao
said that this policy was specifically based on the restructuring of the
Angolan coffee production system as implemented in the reorganization of this
state-owned sector under a commission set up in 1979, which had reorganized
the state coffee sector by 1980, setting up 234 production companies on
215,000 hectares.

SOUTH AFRICA

NEW CHURCH MODERATOR ALLAN BOESAK FACES CONTROVERSIES
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 26 Sep 86 p 16
{Editorial: "New Moderator"]

[Text] Dr Allan Boesak's election as the new moderator of the Dutch Reformed
Mission Church actually illustrates the deep division within the church with
which Dr Boesak himself has become increasingly identified. The Synod was
divided into two camps to such an extent that the dividing line ran actually
right through the middle of the delegates.

Nevertheless, the leadership of the church within the country is being en-
trusted to Dr Boesak, something which possibly came to him more easily already
in the conditioned outside world, where he became president of the World Fe-
deration of the Reformed Church. Hence, he will also perform at home now and
new high expectations will be placed on him. We hope that he will meet them.

It is unfortunately true that in some circles he has acquired a reputation
which implies, among other things, that many Godfearing and peaceloving South
Africans see him as a religious figure who arouses polarization in a country
which needs anything but polarization. He is considered an exponent of a
foreign liberation theology which contains terrifying possibilities in an al-
ready divided society.

As his election shows, such divisions exist within the Mission Church itself,
of which Dr Boesak as moderator has become the highest official. In this ca-
pacity, which immediately puts heavy responsibilities on the office holder,
the onus will rest on Dr Boesak to show whether he will worsen the existing
divisions, and whether he can come forward as a figure of reconciliation who
can help defuse situations which carry great potential for misery and dissen-
sion.

By its very nature that task stretches beyond the Mission Church. As the
largest Afrikaans speaking colored church, the Mission Church has ties rich
in tradition with the whole Dutch Reformed Church family. These are ties
which lately have been subjected to serious tension, so much so that people
are holding their breath about the damage that could be done if the church
were to crumble as a united source of strength in a society which yearningly
looks for its leadership.

Ms Lutton agreed that US

have their hands tied.

Having been forced to use US

has accepted to extend the credit

days as an inducement to Kenyan
importers and commercial banks
to participate in the Commodity
Import Programme.

With this 180 day arrangement
Kenyan businessmen can sell off
wares and pay off the loan from
the proceeds,

‘This requirement that only US
flag carfiers may be used is
among those riling Kenyan
economists. They see the inflated
charges as a mere transfer of
funds from the American Govern-
ment to its people while swelling

tory in existence makes angiological, bacteriological, and microbiological
tests; and note was taken of the lack of a blood ‘bank and donors, and, in most
instances, of ECD bottles to preserve the blood for direct transfusion.

The X-ray section is used for emergency X-rays of bones, lungs, and chest, and
for hetero-sarpingogram X-rays.

Pneumonia, anemia, malaria, and tuberculosis are the most ‘common diseases
(according to Dr Veronica), and ‘diseases of the bones, lungs, and joints are
becoming increasingly frequent. The director stressed that malaria has been
more complicated than in previous years, because there have been cases with
congenital anomaly, and cases most often caused by malnutrition, which entails
negative effects on the newborn. Most of the diseases originate indifferent
parts of the country, because the hospital is. visited by citizens from all
areas, mainly from the provinces of Uije, Benguela, Malanje, Cabinda, Kuando
Kubango, and Huila. The director commented: "We can also cite serious cases
of poliomyelitis arriving from the municipality of Chiange, where there are
some of the people displaced from Cunene Province, as well as the cases already
noted of malaria complicated by anemia, cerebral malaria, palpitations, and
sleeping sickness."

The holding of classes for tubercular patients, and the provision of vaccinations
and care in the services and at home are also other concerns of the family
members who express an interest.

With 14 trained male nurses, three midwives, and two laboratory technicians,
one for pharmacy and one to direct the mother and child course at the hospi-
tal's nursing school, there is an attached school that trains 24 technicians
a year, in a course lasting 2 years. Practice is taken in the different
specialties. It is noteworthy that, in April of this year, 11 specialists in
technical mother and child nursing completed their course.

Dr Mary Veronica added that one of the concerns lies in the distribution of
technicians among certain areas where the need for the medical specialist's
presence is felt. Dr Veronica also noted that, years ago, the problem became
even more complicated, "because we were forced, in that atmosphere of war and
flooding of the river, to use facilities to make the crossing and assist the
sick persons in Xangongo, at the Cuamato Mission, in Mongua, and in other
locations that we could reach, or when the people in a certain area requested
us."

In the municipality of Ombaja, more specifically, at the Cuamato Mission, the
hospital has two stations with four male nurses, also assisting the Mongua and
Changalala missions.

With regard to provisions of medicine,.Dr Mary Veronica claimed that there was
no problem. She said: "The Angolan Government and the organizations well
known internationally have periodically assisted the Catholic mission hospital
of Chiulo."

Nairobi THE WEEKLY REVIEW in English 10 Oct 86 pp 5-7

{Text}

KENYANS mark the eighth anniversary
of President Daniel arap Moi’s installa-
tion as head of state next Tuesday
October 14 . It seems as fitting a time as
any to the outstanding features of his
presidency, the problems and crises he
has faced, the style of his leadership and
how his administration compares with
that of his predecessor, the late Mzee
Jomo Kenyatta.

Probably the most enduring feature of
the presidency over the last eight years
has been President Moi’s closeness to the
people, from whom he seems to draw his
strength. The president seems to be at his
best when addressing ordinary people,
often in impromptu gatherings; he fre-
quently reminds ministers and senior civil
servants that they derive their authority
from the people. The people have come to
see the president as the final arbiter in the
dispensation of justice, and have often
appealed directly to him when they have
felt that the civil service bureaucracy has
not responded adequately to their
grievances or problems. On the
president’s frequent trips by ro&d within
the country, the public has grown
accustomed to the presidential motor-
cade’s stopping at schools or markets or
wherever there is a sizeable crowd, and
the president’s taking time to chat with
the local people and be appraised of their
problems. The president’s style was
demonstrated on Tuesday of this week
when he stopped at two major bus stops in
the centre of Nairobi to see for himself the
‘problems commuters face in trying to get
home after work. The president told com-
muters that he sympathised with them
and he pledged to take a personal interest
in finding a solution to the often chaotic

26

public transport system in the city.

President Moi has always taken a keen
interest in education during his eight
years’ tenure and has always been acutely
aware of the shortage of educational
facilities in the country. He has initiated
a large number of educational projects,
ranging from primary schools to univer-
sities. The president has always main-
tained that the youth are the future of the
nation and, consequently, no effort should
be spared in ensuring that every oppor-
tunity is offered them to help them realise
their aspirations.

‘The president also initiated the 8-4-4
education system, a mammoth effort that
was financed largely by Harambee con-
tributions throughout the country. The
scheme called for the construction of
additional classrooms in every primary
school in the country to take the new
Standard Eight class, together with the
establishment of workshop facilities to
cope with a new, varied: curriculum that
has emphasis on vocational training. The
change was necessary, the president said,
to enable the large number of pupils who
do not progress beyond primary education
at least to be equipped with the basic
skills to aid them in self-sufficiency.

The president has always shown a keen
interest in the health facilities available
to the public and aware that the facilities
at government institutions were far from
adequate, he initiated the building of
Nyayo wards at provincial hospitals,
another phenomenally successful scheme
accomplished largely through Harambee
efforts. The president has also promoted
the Kenyatta National Hospital Heart
Unit Fund, initiated to allow the coun-


He said JODAC condemned this “violation of human rights."

"The government is clearly unable to work towards a solution acceptable to the
majority and can only maintain itself by silencing all forms of real opposi-
tion."

He said the government was not prepared to tolerate any criticism "especially
in the field of human rights and democracy."

The Transvaal region of the Black Sash said in a statement it was "appalled"
at the restriction orders.

"This increasing use of restriction orders appears to be part of a concerted
attempt to break the spine of extra-parliamentary anti-apartheid action and is
an ominous return to bannings. The government has backtracked on a major reform,
that of lifting banning orders in July 1983," said the statement.

It said it was unfortunate that this decision was taken on the eve of the state
president's meeting with businessmen at which major reform initiatives would be
discussed.

"We are concerned that the state should be taking action against those involved
in peaceful and non-violent protest against apartheid policies," said the state-
ment.

Black Sash said they called on the state president and the new minister of law
and order, Mr Adriaan Vlok "to prove their commitment to reform."

WITNESSES CLAIM POLICE KILL SEVEN IN RENT DISPUTE
MB091106 Johannesburg THE SUNDAY STAR in English 9 Nov 86 p 1

[Text] Orlando West residents claimed this week that the police shot and
killed at least seven people in the township--following an alleged threat

to evict a family owing rent while a police spokesman said the death toll
was three.

The Bureau for Information said last night that the police had "checked
and double-checked" the claims and could confirm that three people had
died and eight were wounded.

But some residents claim the number of those killed could be as high as
15 as some of those who were taken to [the] hospital had since died.

The killings took place on Wednesday in what residents described as a night
of wild shooting in Orlando West and later, Phomolong and Dube.

No resident who provided the newspaper with information was prepared to be
named.

Patients Are Given the Best Possible Care

The food for the patients and workers at the hospital. :as well :as the diets,
are provided by the Ministry of Internal Trade, which means .(according to
Mary Veronica) that the meals are free of charge.

With regard to privileges and other rights, the workers are financed by the
General State Budget (OGE); the only complaint being the fact that the hospital's
capacity from an admission standpoint is slight, and at times it has to accommo-
date patients in the halls and porches. However, there.are plans.to expand the
hospital with another surgical and another administrative section. :

The Greatest Problem Is Water

The water problem is becoming a major concern, because the wells that the
hospital has are insufficient, and require cleaning to avoid impurities.

Hidromina, an enterprise intended to drill soil, has not solved the problem to
date. The water problem is truly serious. According to Dr Veronica, in

Chiulo some existing pumps need immediate repair. The Cunene provincial govern-
ment donated a water tank on May Day. :

As for the hospital's electrification, the presence of a lighting motor which
operates regularly was emphasized.

ACADEMIC VIEWS WAYS OF ENDING ISOLATION.
MBO51151 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1118 GMT 5 Nov 86

[Text] Johannesburg, 5 November SAPA--Without an all-new government, there is
only one way for South Africa to~break out of isolation and return to inter-
national respectability--via a government in which blacks are the senior part-
ners, whites the juniors.

This was finely argued by Professor ‘Deon Geldenhuys of Rand Afrikaans University
at the annual convention of the Federated Chamber of industries today.

Speaking on "South Africa's international isolation," Professor Geldenhuys said
the answer was to be found in "domestic legitimacy."

This, he said: "in turn requires at the very least, a power-sharing arrangement.
involving the black majority.

"It seems inconceivable the blacks will accept a system in which their numerical
preponderance is not reflected in both the legislature and the executive.

"Under such an arrangement, the National Party [NP]--as an exclusively white
party--could at best be a junior partner in a coalition or national unity govern-
ment.

"And that, of course, means that the National Party will have lost, probably ir-
redeemably, its monopoly of political power."

Professor Geldenhuys said he “begged to differ" with Mr Kobie Coetzee, minister
of justice, that a government, whose policies lead to international ostracism,
can reform itself out of isolation--and still remain in power.

Mr Coetzee said at the recent National Party congress in Bloemfontein: The NP
can lead South Africa out of isolation without reforming itself out of power....

Professor Geldenhuys said it was instructive that in the case of recent outcase
states, their return to international acceptance was preceded by a change of
government and not merely of policy.

"One can refer to Greece, Spain, Portugal and Argentina, as well as the pariah
par excellence, Rhodesia.

TREURNICHT SEEN AS SUBSERVIENT TO MARAIS
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 24 Sep 86 p 18

[Article by “Dawie": “Rightists Embrace: Dr T, Takes Another Swallow of HNP
Policy"]

[Text] The rumors of an early general election have brought the prolonged
courtship between the far-right parties--which on occasion has been quite
stormy--to the point where it is practically certain that some kind of
rightist alliance will be formed to oppose the National Party (NP).

This is confirmed by the latest series of discussions between the Conservative
Party (KP) and the Herstigte Nasionale Party (HNP). Spurred on by their
common enmity to the NP, they have patched up their earlier serious
differences of principle and policy, and moved closer together than ever.

How does it happen that two parties that in the past bitterly assailed each
other now ardently embrace?

‘Driven Out'

The answer is very simple: Dr Andries Treurnicht and his KP followers have,
as they have so often clone in the past, caved in to Mr Jaap Marais and his
HNP.

Ever since its founding, the KP has proclaimed with great fanfare that its
members of Parliament were ‘driven out' of the NP, that they left the NP
because Mr P.W. Botha and his government had diverged from the tried and
tested policy of the NP.

Dr Treurnicht originally labored under the delusion that his new party would
be able to offer a home to all far-rightists, and that he would swallow the
HNP without difficulty. That's why he treated all earlier HNP attempts at
rapprochement with disdain. He even said in a written declaration that he did
not need the HNP's help to become the alternative government.

But Dr Treurnicht's hopes were quickly dashed. After a couple of failed
attempts to win by-elections in three-cornered fights with the NP and the

CHANGES IN URBAN POPULATION OVER NEXT TWO DECADES DISCUSSED
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 26 Sep 86 p 2

[Article by political correspondent: "Serious Efforts Needed for Urbanization
-- Minister Heunis Outlines Reasons for Strategy"]

[Text] Pretoria -- The inability of numerous countries and governments in
Africa to create a healthy climate for urbanization and housing contributes
significantly to political and economic instability on the continent.

This is what Mr Chris Heunis, minister of constitutional development and plan-
ning, said yesterday in Sandton at the opening of the Housing Institute's
seminar.

Due to increasing urbanization, the urban population of South Africa and the
TBVC countries will double within the next 15 to 20 years. About 86 percent
or 16 million of those urban dwellers will be blacks.

Because of various "historical limitations" it appears that the current sys-
tems will experience problems in satisfying the enormous social needs within
the time frame mentioned above.

Hence, everything will have to be thrown into the battle to make use of all
possible resources of the country to find a satisfactory solution to this na-
tional problem. If this does not succeed, it would not be difficult to ima~
gine its serious social and political problems.

Mr Heunis noted that generally speaking it has been found that urbanization
broadens economic opportunities and choices for the individual and this pro-
motes his upward mobility and standard of living.

It is usually confirmed that positive urbanization causes a levelling in popu-
lation growth because of the influence of urban living circumstances on
people's outlook on life.

It is primarily for that reason that the government has adopted a comprehen-
sive urbanization strategy in South Africa, said Mr Heunis.

BOOK SAYS ANC'S 'TRUE NATURE' AIMS FOR WESTERN COLLAPSE
MBO70759 Johannesburg International Service in English 0630 GMT 7 Nov 86
[Station commentary: "The ANC"]

[Text] Anyone doubting the true nature and aims of the ANC will find an accur-
ate summing up given by an eminent authority--the chairman of the All-Party
Defense Group in the British House of Lords, Lord Chalfont. In a foreword in

a publication on the ANC, Lord Chalfont says that far from the popular myth that
the ANC is a nationalist movement dedicated to the peaceful establishment of
majority rule in South Africa, it is a terrorist organization perpetrating the
most horrifying acts of violence to achieve its political aims. Chief among
these aims, he says, is the overthrow of the South African Government, and its
replacement with a one-party revolutionary regime, The publication with which
Lord Chaifont associates himself, is entitled "The ANC, A Soviet Task Force."

It is written by an acknowledged authority on world terrorism, Mr Keith Campbell,
of the Institute for the Study of Terrorism, based in London.

The book makes it clear that the ANC's intention is the transformation of South
Africa into a one-party communist-dominated state. The book makes a close com~
parison of statements made by the ANC, the South African Communist Party, and
the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, to demonstrate that the ideologies,
policies, aims, and tactics of all three organizations are very similar.

It contends that’ for more than a year all the members of the Executive Committee
of the ANC are active supporters of communist parties. It also asserts that
members of the ANC's military wing are trained in terrorist camps in Libya,
Angola, and Tanzani, with Soviet and East German equipment. The most promising
cadets receive advance training in Cuba and the Soviet Union.

The director of the Institute for the Study of Terrorism, Mrs Jillian Becker,
says in her comment on the publication that [the] West should be careful not to
help deliver the people of South Africa into the hands of a terrorist organiza-
tion. If the ANC were to take the country into the communist camp, she says,
the strategic consequences for the West would be nothing short of disastrous.

This is the irony: The ANC, feted by the Western world's liberal politicians
and media, is being directed by the communist camp as one of the main vehicles
for bringing about the eventual downfall of the West.

GUINEA, FRG AGREE ON DM68 MILLION SUBVENTION
AB272239 Conakry Domestic Service in French 1945 GMT 27 Oct 86

[Excerpts] From 21 through 23 October, the ninth session of the Guinea-FRG
Joint Cooperation Commission took place in Bonn in the FRG. Edouard Benjamin,
minister of planning and international cooperation, led the Guinean delegation
to this session. An official report was signed at the end of this meeting.
Ousman Camara who followed the deliberations gives us some hints:

[Camara] In the official report on this meeting, the German side informed

the Guinean side that DM68 million has been granted to Guinea as a subvention,
that is DM50 million within the framework of financial cooperation and DM18 mil-
lion within the framework of technical cooperation. Both sides noted the
identity of views on the priority areas of their cooperation which are: food
self-sufficiency, development of transport and communications infrastructures,
improving the living, working, and health conditions of the rural populations,
protection of the natural resources, and promoting small- and medium-scale
enterprises. Thus, within the framework of financial cooperation, this assis—
tance will be used to finance the water projects at (Beila) and Kerouane elec-
tricity supply to Conakry, the construction of a telex center in Conakry, the
rehabilitation and expansion of the Conakry port, the establishment of the
BICIG [expansion unknown], as well as rural water supply projects. Within the
framework of technical cooperation, the money will enable the implementation of
the following projects--the promotion of small- and medium-scale industries,

a special renewable energy program, rural development and primary helath care
in (Kedidine) and (Guedougou) as well as the promotion of the Guinean radio and
television service. Another area of assistance is the [words indistinct] for
the implementation of the sectorial agricultural program and the aid fund and
provision of experts.

The two sides once again stressed the role of private German investors in the
various sectors of the Guinean economy. They also examined other issues of
common interest, such as payment of customs duties of goods imported within the
framework of the various projects, lifting the freeze on bank accounts, issuing
resident permits and visas to German experts and the freedom to choose insur-
ance to cover equipment for the projects.

We can say with confidence that this mission has achieved success, judging from
the DM68 million subvention and the quality of the bilateral talks. The dele-
gation returned to Conakry on 25 October.

[Text] Maputo, 4 November (AIM-PANA)--Deaths from starvation are reported from
the southern Mozambican provinces of Inhambane and Gaza in the latest monthly
report from the country's Natural Disasters Office. The report says that

"nany deaths by starvation" have heen reported from the district is hampered
"by a shortage of tractors and trailers which are the only vehicles that can
traverse the sandy trails."

In the neighbouring district of Mabote "all the localities outside the district
capital are reported to be seriously affected by drought." People are relying
on wild fruits for sustenance, and are walking for distances of up to 160 km
to receive rations from fixed distribution points.

Panda District, in the southern interior of Inhambane, is also severely hit by
drought, and in the locality of Macavelane starvation-related deaths have been
reported.

Coastal Inhambane, however, is out of danger. The problems start about 50 km
from the coast, and the office warns that if it does not rain soon the drought
in the Inhambane interior could be as severe as in 1983. Then the combination
of drought and South African sponsored banditry proved fatal for around 100,000
peasants in inhambane and Gaza.

This year in Gaza there has again been no substantial rain in the north of the
province (the districts of Guija, Massingir, Chicualacuala, and the northern
part of Chibuto).

The report says that "even in the coastal areas where good rains were reported
this year, all the harvests from the second planting failed as it rained only
once in March." Many rivers and ponds in the province have dried up, and
"hunger-related deaths are being reported in many areas."

Drought is also persisting in parts of Maputo Province, but the report does not
mention any deaths there.

Elsewhere in the country food shortages are largely caused by MNR banditry,
which has disrupted agriculture and the normal marketing networks.

The central province of Zambezia is the worst affected, with 847,000 people at
risk. The office estimates that for the whole country some 3.9 million people
are in danger.

in moderate opposition politics and rally the moderates of all communities to
meet the towering challenges of our times."

PRESIDENT DISCUSSES FOREIGN ISSUES DURING BRAZILIAN VISIT

Sao Paulo 0 ESTADO DE SAO PAULO in Portuguese 12 Oct 86 p 31

[Interview with President Aristides Pereira by Jose Judice in Praia, Brazil;
date not given]

[Text] Praia--At 61, President Aristides Pereira of Cape Verde is one of the
most respected African statesmen today. Having served as president of the
Cape Verdean archipelago since it won its independence 11 years ago, Pereira
has put a democratic stamp on the young African republic which is rare on that
continent and has become a privileged interlocutor in relations with the West.

Pereira was one of the founders of the African Independence Party of Guinea~
Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC), and he succeeded Amilcar Cabral, the historic
leader of the party who was assassinated by the Portuguese political police.

After independence was won by Guinea~Bissau and Cape Verde in 1975, the two
states maintained a joint political structure through the PAIGC, of which
Pereira was the president, as well as serving as president of the Republic of
Cape Verde. But the 1980 coup d'etat in Guinea-Bissau directed against
President Luiz Cabral and the alleged domination of that country by the Cape
Verdeans definitively separated the two countries.

Experts debate whether Cape Verde, in which the population is 90 percent
mulatto, is an African or a European country. Cape Verde is situated at an
ethnic and cultural crossroads, which explains the excellent relations the
country has maintained with Portugal since independence was won.

Pereira's talents as a mediator became evident when at his instigation, Angola
and the United States established diplomatic relations. And in 1984, they
began talks about the Namibian problem. Commenting on his role in these talks
in 1984, Pereira said that Cape Verde had undertaken its role as a mediator in
the South African conflict “without exaggeration or pretensions." Last week,
Pereira granted 0 ESTADO DE SAO PAULO an interview.

[Question] Cape Verde has played an important role in the dialogue between
Africa and the West. What are the results of this effort?

EDITORIAL DISCOUNTS POSSIBILITY OF MNR VICTORY
MBO51739 Harare THE HERALD in English 30 Oct 86
[Editorial: "Cowardly Boast"]

{Text] The bandit MNR rebels, in the belief that there now is an exploitable
vacuum in Mozambique created by the death of President Samora Machel, have been
promising to intensify their activities against that grieving country.

The air pathetic judgment of the situation is demonstrated by their statements
reacting to Comrade Machel's death. One of their spokesmen, speaking from
Lisbon of course, said now that President Machel was dead they would find
little difficulty in achieving their goal of replacing the Frelimo government.

What they have not taken into consideration is the will of the people of
Mozambique themselves.

Their wish to fight for their revolutionary gains, and their determination
never to give up their very freedom to proxies of Portuguese multi-millionaires
and South African militarists, clearly escapes the small minds of the MNR.

Then there are our own permanent interests in Mozambique which would be danger-
ously jeopardised by an MNR takeover. South Africa would then have effectively
almost entirely encircled this country.

Last week the prime minister highlighted the dangers of an MNR takeover and
vowed that Zimbabwe was prepared to fight to the last man to prevent the MNR
taking over in Mozambique. In response the MNR has "formally" declared war on
Zimbabwe.

How they intend fighting us when they come out second in every engagement with
our forces in Mozambique remains to be seen. All they may really manage are
cowardly sabotage missions with the aid of South Africa, the aim is of which
would be to destabilise the country and create anxiety within the population.

The bandits cannot stand against our forces in Mozambique. If they appear to
be making headway in any clash with Zimbabwean soldiers it is only because
their spokesmen in Lisbon are doing such a good job of churning out false
statements that are not worth the paper they are printed on.

CASTRO RELTERATES SUPPORT FOR *JUST, NOBLE CAUSE'
Luanda JORNAL DE ANGOLA in Portuguese 18 Sep 86 pp 1, 12

[Excerpt] "We intend to stand by the Angolan people until apartheid is abol-
ished in South Africa," said Fidel Castro, president of the Council of State
of Cuba, in a speech published recently in GRANMA.

During his recent visit to the People's Republic of Angola, Castro stressed
the importance of internationalist troops in Angola as a factor of deterrence
in southern Africa.

The Cuban leader defended the abolition of apartheid as an absolute condition

for the withdrawal of internationalist troops. "Imperialism insists on linkage
in solving the Namibian question. We now insist on another linkage: abolition
of apartheid in order for Cuban troops to be withdrawn from Angola," he stated.

The Cuban leader clearly explained the new position of the Angolan and Cuban
governments, breaking with the understanding that had been established for en-
forcing Resolution 435 on Namibian independence.

The first phase of the understanding called for Cuban troops to withdraw to the
13th parallel. Following elections in Namibia, the Cuban and Angolan govern-
ments would consider a timetable for gradually withdrawing internationalist
troops from Angola so long as the safety of the borders was ensured.

Because of Pretoria's refusal, the Angolan government, despite its flexibility,
was forced to abrogate the plan. Addressing this subject at the next-to-last
front-line summit meeting in Luanda, President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said
that "Namibian independence alone is not a guarantee of peace in the region."

In his speech, Castro reviewed the history of his nation's internationalist
assistance, which began in those tragic times when the Angolan people were
facing South African aggression and other foreign forces whose objective was
to install a puppet regime in Angola.

The Cuban leader deplored the nature of apartheid and defined it as the "great—
est evil still surviving in mankind today. If the struggle of the Angolan
people, aided by the Cuban people, is primarily targeted at apartheid and if
the apartheid system is the source of instability in southern Africa, we can
say that we are struggling for a just and noble cause," he said.

BOESAK DISCUSSES DISMISSAL OF CHARGES AGAINST HIM
MBO42102 London BBC World Service in English 1309 GMT 4 Nov 86
[From the "24 Hours" program]

[Text] You may remember that over a year ago now, Dr Alan Boesak and other
prominent antiapartheid compaigners were arrested in Cape Town on the eve of

a public march to demand the release of the plack nationalist leader Nelson
Mandela. Since that time Dr Boesak has been laboring under the burden of
stringent restrictions imposed as conditions of his being freed on bail. He
has not been allowed, for instance, to air controversial topics in public.
Well, today as so often with such cases in South Africa, Dr Boesak found that
the prosecution was dropping its charges of subversion. The BBC's Graham Leach
asked Dr Boesak then for his reaction to news of the courtroom decision:

[Begin recording] [Boesak] Well, I am not very surprised, because I have al-
ways said we believe that they did not have any real charges at all against me.
The state for the last year has been abusing the due process of law. By trying
to use the courts to actually impose restrictions on me that they otherwise
could have done only through a banning order. I also think there might have
been some pressure. I think it was becoming quite clear that it was ridiculous
that they used those charges on 20 September 1985 simply to be able to say to
the world if Boesak was detained, well he was not detained without trial. We
actually bring him into court and we will get proof to the world that he has
behaved treasonous. Now, I think that was the idea then, but to drag this out
for a whole year was quite preposterous in the end. I think plainly the state
saw the (?foolishness) of the whole affair.

[Leach] Does the fact that they dropped charges against you, a leading anti-
apartheid activist in this country, lead you to believe that they may be think-
ing of dropping similar charges relating to people currently standing trial in
a major treason case, the one at Delmas?

[Boesak] I would hope so. But I think [words indistinct] they were forced to.
There has been a lot of attention on my case, and I have not been in nearly the
same precarious situation as the 22 in the Delmas case. I had been free even
though I was out on bail. They have been kept in jail for more than a year now.
I think that that will only happen when there is enough pressure and enough
attention from the international community on the Delmas case.

The meeting had been called

members of the Asian community

He advised them to support
development projects in the dis-
trict by attending Harambee

major role in development.

It was unwise, he said, for
Asians to divorce themselves
from nation-building as the

Mr Teigut said that they
should reciprocate the

donated as little as ShS whenever
approached to contribute to the
building of schools and other

was not in line with the Haram-

NECC URGES DET TO RECONSIDER SCHOOL CLOSURE
MBO71541 Johannesburg SAPA in English 1533 GMT 7 Nov 86

[Text] Johannesburg, 7 November, SAPA~-The National Education Crisis Committee
[NECC] called on the Department of Education today to reconsider its "cruel and
inhuman" closure of an additional 40 schools in the eastern Cape.

The NECC condemned the closure as "a cruel act of oppression calculated at
victimising the affected communities, and further keeping them in a situation
of perpetual ignorance."

The criticsim was released in a statement in Joahnnesburg today by the organi-
sation's national coordinator, Mr Eric Molobi.

"These latest announcements are a slap in the face of the NECC and the entire
communities it represents."

The NECC's parents, teachers and pupils wanted a normal school situation.

"We therefore call upon DET to reconsider that cruel and inhuman decision, to
think of the thousands of parents who worry about their children daily."

The NECC said the Department of Education would have to take the blame for the
consequences of the closure.

"The NECC wishes to place it on record that DET must take the blame squarely
for whatever consequences that shall engulf the townships in the immediate
future."

The DET should endeavour to create a situation for meaningful talks with
parents, teachers, pupils and their legitimate organisations, the NECC stated.

"In this regard, it would have made sense and indicated goodwill to announce
that all schools shall reopen next year, that detained NECC members and students
and teachers shall be released in order to embark on discussions with community
organisations forthwith."

The DET's recent actions indicated a crucial turning point of heightened hos-
tility on the part of the DET.
