"T think we have reason to be excited over the progress that has been
made," says Mr Bosman. ‘From the ranks of the approximately 1.3 million
farm workers, who along with their families number almost 7 million

souls, more than 50,000 souls have been reached by the betterment

campaign and about a seventh of South Africa's farmers have been involved."

"The improvement in the attitude of the farm workers is equally gratifying,"
says Mr Bosman. "The people bloom, because they get recognition.
Productivity increases because they are better trained and motivated. They
show responsibility, becausé there is promise of a’future for them in
agriculture."

This is a challenge to all Ugandans, both the government and the opposition,
although the government and the ruling Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) are ina
better position to take the initiative.

Besides the political arena, Ugandans should also apply practical reconcili-
ation and no revenge in social and economic affairs.

It is only with practical reconciliation and no revenge that Ugandans,
especially the young generation will begin to see some ray of hope for the
future of their nation instead of the present impending doom. Otherwise
the forthcoming general elections may also mean nothing positive for our em-
battled nation.

GCU LEADER OUTLINES PRIORITIES
Kampala FOCUS in English 11 Jun 85 p 3

[vext] The controversial President General of Cod Commands the Universe (GcU)
Pastor Mordy Nowaruhanga has outlined lis party's priorities which include
free education and giving land to the youth.

Speaking to "FOCUS" recently, the political religious leader said the aims of
his party are to promote inter-religious unity and elevation of moral con-
sciousness, to promote individual responsibility towards the family, society,
nation and the world, and to enhance proper nature proper give and take
between man and nature.

Calling himself the Moses of the 20th Century, Nowaruhanga said he will safe-
guard all Ugandans from death, banditry and religious differences.

He said his party teaches the citizens to love God, mankind, their nation and
the political leaders. Me added that it was in order for religious leaders
to go to places of politics to teach the word of God but not in order for
politicians to teach in places of worship because what they say is deceit.
Nevertheless, he said, he will take his party to schools, homes and even
places of worship.

Mr. Nowaruhanga, who still has to see the pracitability of his ideas, said
that when his party comes to power it will avail free education from Nursery
to University levels, give land to all youths over 18 years by utilising gov
ernment land.

ile said he will utilise places like Lwera by constructing machinery water sys~
tem to enable people in semi-desert conditions to carry out farming.

With regard to the economy he said his party will put more investment in in-
dustries which produce machinery for manufacturing consumer goods.

Mr. Nowaruhanga expressed confidence that GCU will win a considerable number
of seats in the forthcoming elections, adding that by 1990 the party will be
able to win about 90 seats.

He disclosed that his party will embark on public rallies beginning with
Makerere University on 9th June, 1985. Other public rallies are scheduled

SOUTH AFRICA

DE VILLIERS REPORT TO RECOMMEND SHIFT TO NUCLEAR POWER
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 5 Jun 85 p 16

[Text] Although the new Electricity Board is going to take control of ESKOM
[Electricity Supply Commission] electricity rates will probably be increased
again.

In his most recent annual report, tabled in Parliament, retiring Chairman Jan
Smith says that as a result of inflation, a weak rand, higher income taxes and
higher rates of interest ESKOM needs additional income.

According to the report, capital expenditures have soared. A power station of
3,600 Megawatts that cost 1.44 million rand in 1980 will now cost 3.42 million
rand, meaning an increase of 20 percent annually.

According to Mr Smith, the implication is that electricity rates will have to
be increased again.

In the meantime it has become apparent that ESKOM is making great profits, but
they are hiding this.

According to Prof W. Hamman of the University of Stellenbosch, the report

shows a net deficit of 162.8 million rand; however, in reality a profit of 983
million rand was made. A controversial application of inflation bookeeping and
transfer to the capital development funds, which is now 5,328.9 million rand
strong, has made a joke of the directive in the Electricity Act that ESKOM may
not show gains or losses.

The Commission of Inquiry into ESKOM, under the chairmanship of Dr Wim de
Villiers, recommended among other things to do away with that decree and for
ESKOM to show its profits just like any other corporation.

The new board team plans to turn over a new leaf. Administrative improvements
and a recomputation of ESKOM's capital requirements head the list of their
work plan.

Industrial economists say that the real test still lies far ahead. It is

expected that the second part of the De Villiers Commission report will be
recommending a drastic shift to nuclear power stations. This will make ESKOM

Secondly: Just when the Reagan administration was being placed under pressure
by opponents of constructive engagement, when the disinvestment pressure group
in Congress and Senate were on the rampage, and when Crocker needed ammunition
to defend the policy, that ammunition was denied him.

While it is impossible to see any sense in Uitenhage, in some circles Cabinda,
Gaborone, and the new constitutional arrangements in South-West Africa may
make sense. But where these make no sense at all is in the diplomatic arena.
These three are the worst signals Reagan could receive. That was probably the
moment when even Crocker must have realized the limitations of constructive

engagement.

Thirdly, our relations with the United States now are perhaps worse than in
the days of Carter. At that time there were.very few expectations on either
side. In those days the domestic American pressure groups (not to mention
the Senate and Congress) were not at all aware of the South African question.
In those days the American ambassador to South Africa was in Pretoria; today
he is in Washington.

But possibly the cruelest irony of all for the Botha government occurred when
it opened the door to a form of dialogue with the black people. The chances
of making diplomatic capital from that was destroyed by Uitenhage, Cabinda,
Gaborone and Windhoek,

It is easy to criticize the government from the outside, and the academics
are only too painfully aware of that. But ordinary healthy intellect makes

one wonder if Pretoria has changed irony into tragedy in its relations with
the Reagan administration.

Can Crocker really believe there is still any life left in constructive
engagement? '

The political circles failed to see that newsmen are not destructive but a

progressive force for democracy.

But thank God the honeymoon for both the Ugandan Journalists and politicians
wrestle seem to be caming to an end. Newsmen are now more constructive in
their reporting and commentary than before.

At the same time the politicians and other important people in society have
seen some light. Although some newsmen still languish in prison for no case
{words indistinct], the majority have been released. ‘Those who have been
released of late include Drake Ssekeba, Sam Katwere, Francis Kanyeihamba,
Basoga and Sam Kiwanuka. "Focus hopes that the government will continue
with this highly commendable development to a logical conclusion.

"Focus" earnestly hopes that the current magnanimous attitude towards the
press by government will further be enhanced so as to help build a multi~

party democracy.

We also hope that the official national media, namely Radio Uganda, Uganda
Television and the National Mirror newspaper will be effectively utilised to
serve all the people for national development and to help establish a truly |
more democratic society in Uganda.

"THE TORCH' PUBLISHES PSEUDO STATEMENT ON CONFEDERATION
Dakar LE POLITICIEN in French 3 Jun 85 p 8
(Editorial by Mam Less Dia: "The Trap"]

{Text] A Gambian newspaper, THE TORCH, has published an alleged statement by
Daouda Jawara addressed to all Gambian political forces, even the underground
opposition, asking them to "reflect" on the Confederation and to speak out on
the need to challenge it.

Although the document is a fake and its subversive nature undeniable, the
Cambian Government was content, in order to “remove any ambiguity," to allow
a timid denial be published in its press, thereby furthering the confusion.

The document published by THE TORCH, under the signature of Jawara, president
of Gambia, is preceded by the mention “ab lib" [sic]. This means in English
and Gambian that the text published is but the fruit of the imagination of
the author. But the article was rapidly translated into the language of
Moliere or Senghor in order to flood Senegal with copies.

After discovering the truth, Senegal's security services at least wanted the
Gambian authorities to proceed to make a routine investigation into the staff
of the newspaper, accused of publishing false news. Daouda Jawara sent them
to hell, telling them simply to go elsewhere because in his country, Gambia,
when one takes the trouble to write "ad lib" at the beginning of an article,
one is covered by the law. Our security services naturally gave up in the
face of this weighty argument. They did not even try to discover the identity
of the article's author, much less the possible links between President Jawara
and the newspaper's staff.

Following its investigation, LE POLITICIEN gives you this information exclu-
sively. The article signed Jawara was written by a Gambian newsman by the
name of Juan Kunda who was deported from Sweden in 1977.

He later worked with a major American press agency whose ties with the CIA are
well-known.

Today, he is practically the editor in chief of THE TORCH, whose Editor Sana

Mane himself says that he is a confidence man of President Jawara. Once an
agent for the COOPERATIVE UNION, he was ousted and became the editor of a

Foreign Affairs says a team of surveyors from South Africa and Botswana has
been engaged in the task since the beginning of the month. Dispute over the

BORDER FENCE EXTENSION PLANNED-~The electrified elephant barrier between
Botswana and South Africa is to be extended after the discovery that elephants
in the Tuli Block have found a way past the barrier to South African territory.
The 27-km long fence was erected in 1983, to prevent elephants from crossing
the Limpopo and devastating farmlands on the South African side of the border.
Within a single year, the old barrier was breached 4,700 times, but during the
past year, the electrified fence has had to be repaired only twice. The fence
was erected by the Transvaal Division of Nature Conservation. /Text/

TANZANIA

BULGARIA TO ASSIST VINYARD, WINERY

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 1 Jul &5 p 3

{Article by Daniel Nshana]

[Text] Increased production of wine at the Dodoma Wine Company (DOWICO) is
likely to start soon, following payment of 5m/- to Bulgaria, which will super-
vise construction work and installation of new machinery.

DOWICO General Manager, Ndugu Leonard Coi, told the Daily News over the
telephone from Dodoma yesterday that the money paid by the National Milling
Corporation (NMC) the parent company of Dowico, was remitted last week by
the National Bank of Commerce (NBC).

Ndugu Coi said experts from a Bulgarian firm, Bioinvest, would arrive in the
country soon to supervise the expansion. This is after Bulgaria had been
supplied cotton worth 15m/- in exchange for the machinery as stipulated in
the barter trade arrangement between the two governments.

Total cost of the project is 20m/-.

It was expected that 20 local personnel would go to Bulgaria to learn tech~
niques in wine and brandy making to be undertaken after the modernisation of
the plant.

According to the General Manager, the company's present capacity of processing
about 1,000 tonnes of grapes per year would be raised to over 2,000 tonnes.

Ndugu -Coi said some Bulgarians were already in Dodona to open up a new 100~-
hectare farm in Chinangali village to ensure sufficient supply of grapes after
the expansion thus avoiding under-capacity utilisation.

A bottling room would also be built as well as a special room for distiling and
storing brandy.

ie further said a steam boiler station would be built to be installed with a
diesel generator, heat transfer system, fuel storage facilities, chemical
laboratory and the like.

For years a policy has been pursued which is described in the foreign
press as one of "destablization." Mozambique is supposed to be forced
to its knees in all kinds of ways until it abandons its support of the
ANC. Even better, the Frelimo government is supposed to be replaced by
one of South Africa's choosing.

Dualism

Renamo, a movement that was set up by colonial refugees, was used as a
spearhead for this purpose. There was serious discussion of a "second
front" even in military circles. However, this policy led to greater
solidarity between neighboring black states and Mozambique.

In the long run they succeeded in reconciling the "hard" and the diplomatic

approaches and only then did the Treaty of Nkomati become possible, '
which put an end to the ANC bases in Mozambique.

The contradictory signals which South Africa is obviously sending out to
its neighbors can be traced back to a dualism in the society itself,

which is also coming to the fore at the moment. in politics. ‘Unless this
can be overcome, South Africa is not going to be able to take its rightful

place in Africa.

arms to the people in a massive way even if this meant that a few of
the weapons would end up being used against us. We had the experience
of Gaza province, where we had acted early and in a major way to give
the people the means to defend themselves. This had a decisive effect.
But, we thought again. Our policy now is to equip local militias, so
that they can hunt down the rebels themselves. It is also a fact that
we don't have enough weaponry for everybody despite the shipments of
light arms we have received from the Soviet Union, East Germany and
Portugal.

NEW LAW ON MULTIRACIAL PARTIES AFFECTS PFP, NP

Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 29 May 85 p 4
[Editorial: "People in Crisis"]

[Text] The Botha government's proposed repeal of the Prohibition of Political
Interference Act could have the most drastic consequences for a society which

has already been greatly destabilized by constitutional innovations, economic
unsettlement, racial riots and diplomatic misunderstandings.

That law's basic provision is that different racial groups cannot interfere
in one another's politics. A white person cannot, for example, become a mem—
ber of a colored or Indian party, or vice versa. Based on that, a white per—
son can never become a member of the Indian Chamber in parliament, or vice
versa. That law has prevented, for example, the PFP [Progressive Federal
Party] from expanding its rank and file by enrolling non-whites as members.

When the government started meddling with the pattern of racial separation by
interfering with the Mixed Marriages Act and Article 16 of the Immorality Act,
it was obvious that the Prohibition of Political Interference Act, the Group
Areas Act and the Population Registration Act would also remain threatened,
because itis the policy of the NP [National Party] to promote complete inte-
gration in the name of moving away from discrimination.

In October 1974, Mr Pik Botha confessed before the United Nations Security
Council that "discrimination on the basis of a person's skin color cannot be
defended," and that his government “will do everything in its power to move
away from discrimination based on race and color." This address was cleared
in advance by the NP caucus. This was followed by Dr Piet Koornhof's state-
ment in the United States in 1979 that "his government will not rest until
every discriminatory measure based on race has been eliminated from our code
of law." Mr P.W. Botha labeled this speech a courageous and competent state-
ment of the government's policy. Meanwhile, Dr Gerrit Viljoen told a French
journalist that as a result of the NP policy "the time will come when we will
have created the first multiracial integrated society in the world. This
country will be more black than white."

This is the framework within which the Botha administration's latest moves
must be seen. The proposed repeal of the three laws involved is the logical
development of the NP policy of moving away from discrimination toward inte-
gration.

SOUTH AFRICA

WEAKNESS OF BOTHA GOVERNMENT BLAMED FOR HOSTILE U.S. ATTITUDE
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 4
(Editorial: "Small Thanks"]

[Text] In the past few days a committee of the American Senate has decided to
give South Africa the opportunity of "abolishing apartheid" within 2 years,
and if that doesn't happen, certain economic sanctions will be leveled against
South Africa. As a result of those measures, bank loans, amongst other
things, will be forbidden (except for education, health, and housing for
Blacks), the export of computers to South Africa's security services will be
prohibited, and all nuclear trade between South Africa and the United States
will be stopped. The expectation is that the House of Representatives will
adopt a similar measure.

It is especially significant that the United States decided on these measures
after the South African Government established a constitution for a
multiracial government; concluded a treaty with the Communists of Mozambique
in order to help them; approved a transition government for SWA which is to be
the preliminary step in the application of Decision 435; withdrew South
African troops from Angola--yes, and previously handed over the Whites of the
former Rhodesia to a Communist government.

The gratitude Mr P.W. Botha receives for these concessions is that the United
States is now threatening with greater hostility than before. One of the most
serious complaints against Mr P.W. Botha and his predecessor, Mr Vorster, is
that they could be so ridiculously naive to think that concessions would
harvest good will from these powers. But what Mr P.W. Botha and his
associates should be confronted with now is that they asked the voters in 1983
to vote Yes with the assurance that, if the Yes vote should win, there would
be a friendlier disposition from the outside world toward South Africa. And
now? Precisely the establishment of a multiracial dispensation, which is to
open the way to a continually greater say of non-Whites over Whites, now has
provoked the worst degree of hostility in the United States of America. °

The reason is obvious--the Americans rate the Botha government as weaklings
who try to appease their enemies with compliance, and therefore the Americans
have contempt for South Africa and act with increasing arrogance, as if they
had colonized South Africa.

The white people of South Africa must realize that it is not in the first
place the United States which threatens South Africa, but the miserable weak
government which can no longer preserve South Africa's sovereignty.

in their own country while others have been forced to flee the country seek~
ing asylum as far afield as Papua New Guinea.

On the economic situation the DP leader lamented that Uganda has been turned
into an experimental ground by the IMF and the World Bank. ‘The two institu-
tions, he said, are interested in finding a new equation-using Uganda-to
reconstruct the economy of third world countries. As a result, he said,
Uganda's economy has virtually collapsed. ‘he higest salary in Uganda is
between $150-$200 a month, ‘For many Ugandans monthly salary is spent within
the first two weeks while for thousands of others it is spent within a couple
of days,' the opposition leader said.

And during an interview on the LBC Ssemogerere predicted doom for Uganda if
the forthcoming general elections are rigged as was the case during the 1980
elections.

In reply to a question as to whether his party would participate in the 1985
elections since there had not been any improvement on Uganda's internal secur.
ity, Ssemogerere said that the answer to such a question would be given at the
eleventh hour because if, the government were to pring about a situation con~
ducive to free and fair clections, there would be no question of his party not
participating.

But as of now, he went on there was no peace even among the UPCs themselves
because of the internal strife among its supporters many of whom are not satis-~
fied with their own government, Furthermore, there were hundreds or even
thousands of opposition politicians languishing in official as well as unof-
ficial places of confinement around the country, such as army barracks.

On the abduction and disappearance of Hon Ssebuggwawo, Mr Ssemogerere said
that his party viewed the issue with the utmost concern, and appealed to the
international commnity to impress it on the government of Uganda to adhere
to the rule of law.

The DP Leader while in London, has held talks with the British Minister of
Foreign Affairs, on the political and security situation in Uganda; on the
1985 general elections; and on other issues of bilateral interest,

article defending Nigeria's continued mémbership in the latest edition of

thé OPEC Bulletin titled "Oil Politics and Development in Nigeria" adding:

‘Leaving the OPEC will be playing into the hands of consumer nations who are
> always looking for good and cheap oil.

He’ said that the reality of the international oil market was that the
current floor price existed because OPEC continues to act as a buffer to _
absorb. the ‘shock in the market, stressing: "If OPEC ceases to exist, or
4f-OPEC wants to compéte with non-OPEC countries, the. current price struc-
ture will totally collapse.

"4 break-up of OPEC will open up the flanks once more for the oil majors,
who have been waiting on the sidelines for over a decade to start a fresh
manoeuvre for monopoly in order to play their former roles." He said:

“The disunity and disarray of OPEC will be fully exploited for perpetuity."

Professor David-West observed that OPEC can team up to price us out of the
market and frustrate all our strategies or projections for national develop-
ment. "The consequent untold hardships could culminate in social discontent
and possible revolution."

The minister contended that a number of leading OPEC members could easily
unleash attack on Nigeria if it decides to quit the organisation since
their production price per barrel was very low. "We must not forget for
one moment that we are OPEC's weakest link.

He stressed that there was also the political as well as the sentimental
reason for remaining in OPEC. "OPEC is the only Third World organisation
that has held its own and also won the respect especially of the indus-

trialised Western nations.

openly rebuked Carter: for his feeble approach to the Russians, his clumsy
economic action, and especially his inability to understand southern Africa.

Just take, for example, economic issues. It is true that many aspects of
Carter's economic policy may not have been what one would wish for, but it
was that same policy which allowed the gold price to rise and kept the dollar
weak, and helped us to push up our. foreign savings. How strange that Reagan
started a tendency directly opposite to this, strengthening the dollar and
causing the rand to tumble.

Politically, the arrival of the Reagan administration was as welcome to
Pretoria as spring rains over the Transvaal. -He was seen, and in many
aspects has proven to be,. the opposite of Carter.

Pretoria. called him a "realist." He would stand up to the Russians firmly,
would have clear economic goals, and above all he would understand the problem
of South and southern Africa. .

But as has so often been the case with South Africa's diplomacy, our expecta~
tions regarding Reagan were too high, as well as what he would do for South
Africa. There are definite limits to constructive engagement--in both the
United States and here.

In the early days of the Reagan administration, the patient Dr Chester Crocker
was able to restore this country's self-respect by encouraging South Africa
to take on a new and dynamic role as leader in the region. With the active
support of his president, he strengthened the government in his complex
attempts towards internal reform. With, admittedly, his own goals in mind,
he helped build bridges between South Africa and her neighbors, as exempli-
fied by the Nkomati Accord.

(I imagine that many people in Pretoria were spurred on by the belief that the
Reagan administration, as regards its political image and view of the world,
was as pure as driven snow. Actually, many Americans have pointed out that
Crocker was. fighting a lone battle to make the. Reagan administration aware of
the sensitive issue of. blacks in America and overseas.)

The early 80's were-a highpoint in our relations with the United States. It
seems that relations had not been soo good since the Eisenhower days. Ina
‘moment of euphoria it seemed that P.W. Botha would be the first leader since
Jan Smuts:to visit the United States and meet an American president.

But in the past 9-months there have been only setbacks in Pretoria's relations
with the Americans:. We have to examine these setbacks in order to appreciate
the bitter irony of the situation.

Firstly, many of the positive achievements of constructive engagement were

crushed by events in southern Africa, many of which this country could have
avoided.

It is interesting to look at the implications of the repeal of the Mixed Mar-
riages Act and the Prohibition of Political Interference Act.

As soon as a mixed married couple moves into the residential area of a racial
group (let us say a white man and a black wife with colored children in a
white neighborhood) there is a problem of political association. Should the
white man belong to a white party, the black woman to a black party and the
colored children to a colored party? How can voters lists be drawn up for
whites, for example, according to a geographic demarcation when there are
blacks and coloreds living at the same address within that demarcated area?

It is clear that the government does not dare to answer these questions because
any answer, whatever direction it goes, will get it into trouble.

What is extremely disturbing is the blatant dishonesty these things are fraught
with -- and this from a government which invokes the Bible with regard to the
repeal of the Mixed Marriages Act.

Now, without any further investigation, a keystone of an orderly society also
remains at stake without any further ado: the Prohibition of Political Inter-
ference Act. That is first rate political dishonesty.

The logical result of the repeal of that law will be that coloreds, Indians
and blacks will join the PFP. The result of this will be that the maintenance
of separate parliamentary chambers for whites, coloreds and Indians will be-
come untenable, and that the multiracial membership of political parties will
be used by the government as a reason to change the constitution so that a
white person, for example, could represent Indians in the Indian Chamber. If
the PFP could broaden its power base this way to all three chambers, then the
"National" Party would use this as a rationalization to open its membership
also to other racial groups. Thus the basis would be laid to argue that racial
classification in pursuance of the Population Registration Act has become
highly unsuitable and hence can be repealed. Afterwards, it will no longer be
possible to identify anyone officially according to race and he or she will be
able to marry anyone he or she wants to, belong to any political party and live
wherever he or she wants to -~ the basis for group areas, that is to say racial
separation according to classification, will be knocked out from under them.

This is a disturbing prospect, but it must be written in order to once again
stress the crisis of our people. It is unfortunate that the process which
started in February 1967 with the concession to one or two Maoris has now pro-
gressed this far, but at the same time it is a warning that an evil must be

fought when it starts.

This is in no way meant to suggest that it is too late to salvage the situation
for the whites. In the upcoming by-elections in Sasolburg, Bethlehem and Port
Natal, the joint strength and effort of the HNP [Reformed National Party] and
the KP [Conservative Party] must jolt the rotten "National" Party until it
staggers and chase it away from there so that it will once again have to find
shelter in early general elections, which should then lead to its downfall.

MINERS UNION RESTRICTED IN ACCESS TO SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 29 Jun 85 p 5

[Text]

THE Mineworkers Union of
Zambia Mufulira branch is
not happy with the way the
Zambia Consolidated Cop-
per Mines (ZCCM) Mufu-
lira Division is handling the
cases of sacked miners.
Branch chairman, Mr
John Manda also expressed
concern at the decision by
the ZCCM to stop banks

from paying the sacked
miners their voluntary
savings.

He said yesterday the
move to block the voluntary
savings had brought
misery to families of
sacked miners.

The union did not under-
stand why the division had
taken such a decision when
the money belonged to the
miners and was not from
the division's coffers.

Mr Manda who was
flanked by Mutondo sub-
branch chairman. Mr Fack-
son Kaleshi and secre-
tary, Mr Oswell Munye-
nyembe said it was not
known whether the decision
was meant to punish
further the sacked miners ;

“Apart from the
management's failure to
pay the miners mid-month
pay, they have not been
given the. right to with-
draw their voluntary sav-
ings which would have
gone along way in
alleviating their financial
problems.

He also criticised mana-
gement for the poor
manner in which it was
handling cases of sacked
miners. Talks between

MUZ and management
over the issue had reached
a deadlock because of
management's uncompro-
mising attitude.

“The management does
not want us to discuss

SOUTH AFRICA

SHIPPING FIRM DEVELOPS NEW FUEL FROM RESIDUAL OIL.

Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG/BLICK DURCH DIE WIRTSCHAFT in German
22 Apr 85 p 1

[Text] The South African shipping company Unicorn Lines, Durban, developed
from residual oil of the coal liquefaction process (of the semi-national Sasol
works) a ceraceous fuel--Synthol WO 20--which is used in marine shipping. The
new fuel, whose production was also greeted with great interest abroad, is at
present being tested for use by the national shipping line Safmarine and by the
state transport enterprise S A Transport Services.

The Sasol corporation, partly privately owned, has three plants, an investment
of about 6.2 billion (1 Rand = approximately DM 1.62) and managed to raise
substantially its sales volume in the second half of 1984 (1983) to Rands

1.44 billion (1.10 billion) and its profit after taxes to Rands 246.0 million
(204.7 million). It awarded a 35-million-Rand contract to the enterprise L~Air
Liquide--against competing bids from the FRG and Japan--for construction of the
13th oxygen plant for the coal liquefaction factory, Sasol 2. After the
start-up of the plant, expected by the end of March 1986, oxygen production
will amount to 30,000 tons daily. According to newspaper reports, it is the
largest installation of its kind in the world. The three Sasol plants produce
fuels, industrial oil, fertilizers, chemicals, and lastly explosives on a coal
basis. In cooperation with Lurgi, Frankfurt, the South African enterprise
supports the U.S. Great Plains Gasification Associates in the production of
synthetic gas from soft coal.

Production of fuels in the Sasol plants Nrs 2 and 3 has grown to such an extent
that the raw material supply of coal from their own coal mines is no longer
sufficient and long-term supply contracts had to be concluded with other coal
mines. Production is to be increased by another 6 percent by 1986--data on
amounts are not available--to replace importation of crude oil worth more than
Rands 2 billion.

PORTS EXPERIENCING NEW LULL
Lagos BUSINESS TIMES in English 24 Jun 85 p 1
[Article by Jackson Imafidon]

[Text] Lagos ports are pack to its recessive operations after a short
spell of "ship-bunch."

Traffic at the ports during the first four months of this year almost
reached: all-time’ high point with operators: in the port blaming each other
for the slow turn round of ships. When the Business Times visited the
Apapa and Tin Can Island Ports (TCIP) last week, cargo handling operations
were on a much more relaxed speed.

At the Apapa ports, an average of seven berths were vacant. The ships
awaiting berth were held up by Nigerian Ports Authority ship landing
formalities which had to do with problems like bill of lading, importers
and shipping companies not paying up the statutory landing fees and charges.
About. 24 ships were at the quays of the Apapa port as at last Thursday and
ten of them by NPA's estimated day of sailing were due to sail before today.
Even three of the five ships awaiting berth were also billed to sail before
today.

The situation has been like that at the Apapa port in recent weeks, more so
as dredging operations were going on at some berths.

While the ship-bunch lasted, as many as 19 ships were recorded to have
waited for days at the Apapa port for berthing spaces.

TCIP, also enjoyed a boom with 17 ships known to have waited for about two
weeks for berthing spaces...» .

At the TCIP last week only 15 ships were on the hard quays. The vessels
came with cargoes ranging from fertilizer to sugar, reels of paper alkaline
to general cargo.

Facilities at the Lagos ports complex were fully stretched during the first

quarter of this year as more ships rushed in to beat the Federal Government
deadline on the utilization of the 1984 import licences.

EQUATORIAL GUINEA

" FOREIGN AID TO BOOST OIL, GAS PRODUCTION, INFRASTRUCTURE

Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG/BLICK DURCH DIE WIRTSCHAFT in German 20 Jun
85 p2 :

(Text] Frankfurt. The former Spanish colony of Equatorial Guinea (370,000
inhabitants, 28,051 square kilometers) has been a member of the France zone
since the beginning of January 1985 and thus is enjoying a.stable monetary
system which can support future economic development. France had expressed an
active interest in Equatorial Guinea for a long time,’ and from now on
intensified French investment is expected. French firms had already been
heavily involved in the modernization and _ expansion of the port of Bata in the
Rio Muni region.

French firms were also recently called upon in the restoration of the port of
Malabo, the national capital on the island of Bioko (formerly called Fernando
Po). The elaboration of suitability studies for an improved power supply for
Malabo, for the exploitation of mineral resources and for an agricultural
development program financed by the European Development Fund: were also
entrusted to French companies.

In Equatorial Guinea, cultivation of cacao, which accounts for roughly 90
percent of the total value of exports, is predominant. In the period prior to
the declaration of independence (12 October 1968), approximately 48,000 tons
of cacao were produced annually--90 percent of it on the island of Bioko, on
plantations called "fincas." By 1977 yearly production had fallen to only
5,000 tons. Since the military coup in August 1979 which brought an end to
the reign of terror of President Macias Nguema, a few economic successes are
to be noted under the current government (President Teodoro:Obiang Nguema
Mbasogo). In 1983, exports of cacao rose to 12,000 tons; and, for. 1984, cacao
exports of 16,000 tons were achieved. .

International organizations have recently participated in financing a project
for promoting cacao cultivation, the cost of which is reportedly $16.2
million. In February 1985, the International Development Association (IDA) of
the World Bank Group granted a credit of $9.3 million. The Arab Bank for
Economic Development in Africa (Badea) of Khartoum (Sudan) had already

CUSTOMS UNION WANTS ILLEGAL ALIEN DECREE
Lagos BUSINESS TIMES in English 17 Jun 85 p 1
[Article by Ndu Ughamadu]

[Text] To prevent the return of illegal aliens and to flush out the
remaining ones still in hiding, the federal government has been urged to
promulgate a decree which should make it an offence for anybody to harbour
or employ any illegal alien.

The central working committee of the customs and excise and immigration
staff union said that the decree was necessary because in spite of govern-
ment efforts, there were still "some unpatriotic elements in the country
who are currently harbouring illegal aliens."

The president of the committee, Mr Hycinth Magaji, told the Business Times
in Lagos last week that protocols annexed to "the treaty of ECOWAS part. 111
article 3 (ii)" was not of much interest for our security and economic
stabilisation.

He noted that the government should open discussion with other members of
ECOWAS to put a limit to the number of visits a citizen of a member state
can make to another member country in a year adding:

"The present practice of no ceiling is open to a lot of abuses."

Mr Magaji stressed: "The government should enter into agreement with our
neighbours to ban sale of goods that are likely to be smuggled across member
states along borders of their countries as it now applies to petroleum
products.

The union observed that the employment of majority of their members was
being threatened daily by petitions from members of the public adding:
"We are not asking government to grant us immunity against genuine
complaints, we implore the authorities concerned to meticulously investi-

gate all cases."

He noted that accommodation was the greatest problem of the Customs and
Excise and Immigration departments.

MUSOKOIWANE HAILS TUNISIAN TIES
Lusaka TIMRS OF ZAMBIA in English 28 Jun 85 p7

[Text] Prime Minister Musokotwane has hailed the warm and cordial rela-
tions existing between Tunisia and Zambia.

Mr Musokotwane was speaking at his office in Lusaka when outgoing Tunisian
ambassador to Zambia, Mr Moncef Kedadi, who is based in Marare and accredited
to Zambia, called on him.

Mr Kedadi who has been recalled to Tunis described his three-year ambassa—
dorial term as successful.

The prime minister praised the close relationship between Tunisian President
labib bourguiba and Dr Kaunda. He said that the two statesmen had done much
for the emancipation and solidification of Africa.

Mr Musokotwane told the Tunisian envoy that the unity and stability enjoyed
by Tunisia under President Bourguiba were a source of inspiration and respect
among peace-loving nations.

Ye commended Mr Kedadi for the cooperation in the field of diplomacy and for
strengthening the warm and cordial relations between Zambia and Tunisia.

“We wish you success in your new job and we count on you as our ambassador
wherever your services will be required," Mr Musokotwane said.

Mr Kedadi said he admired President Kaunda's leadership which was vital to
directing the destiny of Africa.

C80; 3400/658

The other approach can be described with the military term currently in
vogue, "forceful posturing." According to this approach, it is necessary
for South Africa to maintain a “strongman image" at all times. It must
use its military, economic, political, and social-psychological power

to keep its neighbors on their hind feet. They must continue to realize
that when they ask for favors from South Africa they must hold their hats
in their hands.

Unavoidable

The premise is that South Africa is "Christian, Western, and capitalist"
and that its interests are irreconcilable with those of the rest of
Africa because it was previously so closely tied to the colonial. kingdom
of Portugal.

It is unavoidable that it will come into conflict with its neighbors
because they represent a way of life and a political philosophy that is
irreconcilable with its own and which continues to threaten it.

Uncertain

It is clear that it is not possible to reconcile these two approaches.
The one stems from the point of view that South Africa is a natural
Jeader in Africa-and that it can extend its influence through cooperation.
The other believes that South Africa's natural relationship to its
neighbors is unavoidably one of armed discord.

If one listens to proclamations by South Africa's neighbors, it is clear
that they are very uncertain as to which approach South Africa intends to
pursue. . Some of them'really believe that South Africa's primary objective
is to make satellite states out of them, by overthrowing their governments.

South Africa's actions jack credibility and predictability and this is
the reason why its neighbors are sitting in the first row of those who
are complaining about it; because when you are afraid, you look anywhere
for help. . . x

Mozambique

South Africa is striving for recognition as the leading power in the region.
Such recognition would greatly ease international pressure against the
country. The irony is that as long as its neighbors cannot feel safe in
its presence, it will not enjoy this recognition. Until then it will be
seen in many circles as a bugbear, which is inviting the Communists to
stick their noses into a strategic part of the world as a result of its
actions.

Nowhere is the difference between the two approaches more clearly illustrated
than in South Africa's relationship with Mozambique.

NYERERE FAVORS AFRICAN DEBTORS CLUB FORMATION

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 28 Jun 85 p 1

[Article by Kassim Mpenda]

[Text]

Tananarive,. Thursday.
PRESIDENT Nyerere has spoken
out. strongly in favour of a
proposal of President Didier Rat-
siraka of Madagascar to set up a
“club ‘of debtor” countries in
Africa.

The President ‘said the main
task of the proposed club would
be to bring ‘about a joint
bargaining position among
African: ‘states in. their
negotiations with the powerful
cartel of creditors.

Mwalimu was ‘speaking at an
airport news conference today at
the end of a visit to Tananarive

club” and another proposal by
President Ratsiraka for the for-
mation of an OAU agriculture
fund, would... certainly be
discussed at next month’s OAU
Summit in Addis Ababa.

But he said he could not
predict whether the summit
would adopt the two proposals.

very well since November last
year and that a steering commit-
tee of experts and ministers was

Papers for the summit,”

The President said he did not
expect Morocco to attend next
month's Summit following last
November's’ withdrawal. in
protest at the admission into the
OAU of the Sahrawi Arab
Democratic Republic (SADR).

But, he said, there is no reason
for Zaire not to attend the sum-
mit.’ Zaire walked out at last
November’s OAU summit in sup-
port of Morocco's opposition to
the SADR's membership.

On Southern Africa, President
Nyerere praised the people of
South Africa for stepping up their
resistance against apartheid. The
anti-apartheid resistance in South
Africa, he said, was now greater
than ever before. *

Otherwise, Mwalimu said, the
situation in Namibia and South
Africa had not changed much
since the last OAU Summit.

of: aggression against neigh-
bouring African states.

At the news _ conference,
Président Nyerere also spoke
about the six-year-old
negotiations between : Tanzania
and the International Monetary
Fund (IMF).”

He said Tanzania was a very
patient country and that’ the
negotiations would continue but
declined to discuss their likely
outcome.

Before his departure for Dar es
Salaam this morning, Mwalimu
held talks with his host, President
Ratsiraka, on bilateral relations
and preparations for the OAU
Summit next month. :

President Nyerere arrived in
Tananarive on Wednesday from
Maputo where he attended the
10th ‘anniversary of Mozam-
‘bique's independence from Por-
tugal. oo .

Mwalimu was accompanied by
the member of CCM Central
Committee, Ndugu Daudi
Mwakawago, who is also the
Minister for Manpower Develop-
ment and Labour; the Zanzibar
Minister of Communications, "Dr.
Hamis and other Government of-
ficials.



Other projects have also seen unfavourable clouds. This decline in economic
cooperation between Zambia and Yugoslavia has raised concern in the leadership
of the two countrics.

Several high-ranking Yugoslav officials met recently and were reported to have
expressed concern on the decline of economic cooperation between their country
and the developing countries like Zambia.

The officials, reported, A. Borcic, observed that the share of Yugoslav com-
modity and service exports to developing countries of the country's total ex~
ports fell from 20.8 per cent in 1982 to a mere 16.4 last year. The performance
clearly dispells all hope of fulfilling an adopted long-term plan envisaging
Yugoslav exports to developing countries reaching 25 per cent of the country's
overall exports this year.

Imports from developing countries however increased from 17.4 percent in 1983
to 22.7 per cent last year.

Now Yugoslavia is preparing complex measures to stimulate all-embracing econ-
omic cooperation with developing countries. A long-term strategy of Yugo-
slavia's cooperation with developing countries up to 1990 is due to be adopted
soon by the Yugoslav assembly.

On the basis of this strategy, concrete measures will be adopted to stimulate
the country's cooperation with developing countries in various DMAOINS.

The object of these measures is to adjust the foreign-trade and foreign-
exchange mechanisms to serve the interests of more intensive cooperation
with developing countries like Zambia.

Measures

The measures take particular account of these countries' efforts to intro-

duce preferentials in mutual trade. Emphasis will be placed on the establish-
ment of Yugoslav enterprises in developing countries and of joint, mixed enter-
prises in these countries. This is believed to be the best way of placing econ~
omic cooperation on along-term basis.

It is therefore, no wonder that the current President of Yugoslavia is of-
ficially visiting Zambia. Mr Radovan Vlajkovic, arrives today at the invita-
tion of President Kaunda.

Major focus is bound to be on the rebuilding of the economic ties between
the two countries which have been reduced to tatters by the world economic
crisis.

It is a cinch that the suggestion for barter trade from Yugoslavia will be
seriously discussed in the next 48 hours when the presidents will be meeting.

Yugoslavia has launched an economic stabilization programme. And Zambia
has also launched a similar one now dubbed as Economic Crusade 1985. ‘The

CONSERVATIVE MINISTERS RESIST OPEN CHURCHES, MIXED MARRIAGES
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 4
[Gatie column: “Attack on Church Comes from the Left, Not the Right"]

[Text] A rightist attack on the NGK [Dutch Reformed Church] is being planned
with next year's General Synod as the target.

This false claim is being made now, after an isolated reference to church
affairs at the People's Congress just terminated in Pretoria.

What makes this accusation meaningful is that it is coming from several
sources simultaneously, as if prearranged. While church matters played a
secondary role at the People's Congress, due to the congress theme, that topic
is being singled out.

One of the reasons for that is that an excuse had to be found not to write
about the American attack against Afrikaners, and to try and keep the public
uninformed in this manner.

However, another important reason is probably the nervousness of leftist
propagandists about developments in the NGK. Those who now make so much noise
about a "leftist attack" came to the realization these past few months that a
strong conservative resistance is growing in the Church--and of course this
makes them very nervous.

This resistance was especially noticeable with respect to the question of
whether ministers are going to be willing to perform mixed marriages after the
repeal of the Act on Mixed Marriages. This paper reported on the opposition
to that among conservative ministers and their absolute resistance to the idea
of performing marriage ceremonies between Whites and non-Whites.

What apparently upset leftists in and outside the Church even more was the
manner in which conservative ministers worded their resistance. From it, it
was clear that conservative ministers have very strong feelings on this
issue--the word "confrontation" was even used on occasion.

Leftist agitators in and around the Church thus discovered the new spirit
which has been gaining ground among conservative NGK ministers. They realize

ECONOMIC AFFAIRS MINISTER VELOSO DISCUSSES VARIOUS ISSUES

Paris TUE INDIAN OCEAN NEWSLETTER in linglish 22 Jun 85 pp 8, 9

General Jacinto Veloso is "number two" in the Mozambican government. It was
he who was entrusted by President Samora Machel with the difficult negotiations
for the Nkomati accord. He is also responsible for contacts with the West, We
spoke to him June 13 at the Hotel Crillon in Paris.

INDIAN OCEAN NEWSLETTER: Mister minister, what. results will come of your week's

visit to France?

Jacinto VELOSO: I have had meetings with a number of financial
institutions in Paris. I make regular visits to France to discuss
economic cooperation with this country and the aid it gives us.
Although this assistance is less than what we need, it must be
admitted that Paris is making a substantial effort. In a few days, the
Central Economic Cooperation Fund ‘will be according us a special
economic recovery loan of 10U million francs (about 10.5 million
dollars), as it also did last year. In addition, we are getting ready
for the meeting in July of the Franco-Mozambican joint commission. We
would like to acquire military equipment - logistical aid such as
vehicles, and patrol boats, arms, aircraft and so forth. (Note: Mr.
Veloso attended the Air Show at Le Bourget.) We have to find credits
for these purchases. Our country pays for whatever arms it buys.

1.0.N.: At their recent meeting in Harare, presidents MACHEL and Julius NYERERE

and Prime Minister Robert MUGABE discussed a strengthening of Tanzanian and

Zimbabwean military aid to Mozambique. What decisions were taken? Have you also

asked South Africa for help?

J.V.: I did not take part in that mééting. But I can tell you that
this assistance must*be limited to logistical aid. We do not want
foreign troops engaged in combat in Mozambique. These troops can,
however, be used to carry out guard duty. As for South Africa, we will
not ask that country for military assistance, although I know that
some members of the South African government would like to.

1.0.N.: The U.S. Senate has approved an amendment to the law governing economic

aid to Mozambique that would block aid unless the number of Soviet military 4
advisers in your country - 1,300 by some estimates - is cut to 50 by next year

and general elections are held in 1986, Has the Mozambican government a

reaction to this?

political ends, Thus Soviet military aid was paid for by shipments of Eth-
iopian agricultural products. As a matter of fact, it should not be forgotten
that agriculture is Ethiopia's sole resource and that, despite the extreme
poverty of the country, it is the world's sixth coffee producer, and its
agticultural balance is always positive.

IQuestion] Did you make this information public at the time?

[Answer] Indeed, I made a report to the Belgian parliament on what I was able
to learn in Ethiopia, But no one paid niuch attention, alleging that what I was
saying had not been proven, But now I am a member of the Development Conmittee
in the Strasbourg Parliament, and I again took up the file prepared in 1983, I
managed to convince the former Irish minister, Niall Andrews, as well as the
British deputy, Paul Howell, to accompany me on a new mission to Ethiopia.
Since this mission was at the expense of the parliamentary delegates them-
selves, there was not a large number of candidates for the trip, From the
north, from Sudan, we entered Eritrea. There we had complete freedom in making
contact with the political prisoners who are gathered in camps.

[Question] So there really are Ethiopian political prisoners, held by the
Eritrean separatist movement?

[Answer] That's right. And I may add that these prisoners, who should normal-
ly be considered and treated as prisoners of war, do not benefit from any
international protection, not even that of the Red Cross. And there are more
than 8,000 of them. It was among them that we were able to gather the evidence
I am discussing with you, First from a colonel who was in command of a large
part of Eritrea, then from another colonel who headed up the Ethiopian army's
logistical services for operations, and finally a senior air force officer who
got half his training in the United States, and half in the USSR. From these
three high ranking career military men we acquired the most precise and de-
tailed information on the way in which European food aid is diverted.

[Question] How exactly does this happen?

[Answer] The diversions are first made to benefit campaign militrary hospi-
tals, on the front itself. Then to benefit the fighting army and paramilitary
units, But there is a form of diversion which constitutes an even more fla-
grant abuse, In some areas close to the front, we were able to observe that
cereals and powdered milk that had come straight from Europe were for sale ‘in
the shops! There were @normous quantities there. Through ‘an interpreter we
talked with the traders, or rather these middlemen, since they were not the
ones who bought the foodstuffs, That was how we learned that in the Ethiopian
army, there is a black market completely organized by the officers, Our con-
tacts, moreover, told us what the "turnover" was: ‘between September 1984 and
February 1985, 135,000 kilos of European foodstuffs "fed" this black market.

[Question] If I understand you correctly, you are condemning two kinds of
diversion, Qne benefiting the army, and the other benefiting an actual ‘resale
trade in European aid,



indissoluble connections with the masses, must become the most authoritative
spokesman of popular needs and aspirations, the spearhead of the offensive of
the democratic forces against the neocolonial regime, and the beacon which ._
lights the only path leading to the political and social liberation of our

people.

The popular masses must identify with our party and our agenda, and they must
identify our party and agenda as the only one able to fully guarantee the total
satisfaction of their needs and aspirations. To get to that point, every :
militant in our party will have to consider himself personally responsible for
the coming of the revolution in our country. Consequently, each of us must
devote all of his energy and creative force to the service of this revolution.
We must unite our efforts and ground them in the masses, in discipline and
respect for the principles of Leninist organization. That is the sure way ‘to
victory: that is the way which leads to the ineluctable triumph of the RDN, the

transition to socialism.

Also of significance--and the critical outside world can just take note
of it in the African community--is that the mistakes which have been
documented are being researched further in an additional study which
is being carried out with an eye towards correcting them.

Above all, this message stands out:

We cannot afford the mistakes of Langa ever again. And so we will
certainly also talk with the black agitators who, among other things,
organize this kind of mass hysteria which gave rise to the tragedy.

Police Have Difficult Task
Johannesburg DIE VADERLAND in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 10
[Editorial: "The Lessons of Langa" ]

[Text] It is a shame that Langa happened, but it is good that the
incident was immediately investigated by the government. The findings
of the Kannemeyer Commission show how necessary such an investigation
was and not just in connection with Langa.

The understanding of the circumstances in which the group of policemen
found themselves that day that was brought to light by the commission
lends greater authority and balance to the rest of the report as well.

The fact that they directed their taunts at the black crowd--although,
according to witnesses, that was a give~and-take process-~evidences a
lack of discipline of which all officers ought to take note.

The commission noted the following exception, however: that under the
circumstances they couldn't have acted otherwise than they did. Our
police are very exposed and also deserve understanding for how difficult
their job of protecting us is.

However, the most important thing is that the report brought to light
deficiencies in planning, methods, and strategy in dealing with riots,
and that the government is now paying attention to those deficiencies.

In our opinion two of these deserve special mention, namely, review of
the procedures according to which burials are prohibited; and consideration
by the research committee of other matters arising from the report.

These two actions have not yet been required, but they do show a

sensitivity to our situation on the part of the minister of law and
order and his department.

POSSIBLE END TO AID TO UNITA FEARED
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 29 May 85 p 3
[Article: "End of Support to UNITA?"]

[Text] .The strange appointment of Major General A.J. van Deventer as ambassa—
dor to Ciskei could mean the beginning of the end for the government's support
to UNITA [National Union for the Total Independence of Angola].

It is said in informed circles that political motives were definitely behind
that appointment because General Van Deventer had played a prominent role in
the linking of the armed forces with UNITA, and earlier with the Mozambique
resistance movement RENAMO [expansion unknown]. : .

General Van Deventer was secretary of the state security council. It is
extremely rare for such a high level military officer to be appointed to a
diplomatic post.

Sources in the know say that General Van Deventer was a strong advocate of the
strategy of keeping South Africa's enemies away from its borders and’ carrying
out retaliatory raids deep into enemy territory. This fits with the key role
he played in the government's relations with the guerilla movements in neigh-
boring black states.

Strong pressure is being exerted on South Africa these days to withdraw its
armed forces from Southwest Africa. The Van Deventer appointment follows
right upon an American proposal that South African troops in Southwest Africa
be reduced to 1,500 coupled with a reduction of Cuban troops in Angola.

However, UNITA and its leader, Dr Jonas Savimbi, stand in the way of a reduc—
tion of Cuban troops in Angola. As long as UNITA does not stop its struggle,
there is little probability that the Angolan government will agree to a with-
drawal of Cubans.

American pressure on the government Jed to the termination of aid to RENAMO.

It is assumed in political circles that that pressure has now been shifted to
government aid to UNITA, so that the withdrawal of Cuban troops can be effected,
General Van Deventer was probably a stumbling bloc in these attempts.

According to reliable sources the relationship between General Van Deventer and

the minister of foretgn affairs, Mr Pik Botha, was often very tense.

Professor David-West noted that a point that was often forgotten was that

we had a few Nigerians occupying positions of eminence both the OPEC secre-
tariat and the OPEC Fund. "These Nigerians have helped to project the good
image of our country as credit worthy "ambassadors" in the world organisation.

"We should continue our membership of OPEC and be conscious of our responsi-
bility towards the organisation, from the collective will of which we no
doubt have benefited as a nation."

The minister added: "This is not to suggest that we are totally happy
with all that is going on. But it would be economic as well as intellectual

dishonesty not to recognise the significance of the granting by OPEC members
of dispensation to increase our production ceiling or quota. .

DE KLERK'S CHANCES OF BECOMING STATE PRESIDENT WEAKENED
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 13

{Text] The chances of the Transvaal Leader of the National Party (NP) ,
Mr F.W. de Klerk, to become the next state president have been considerably
weakened as a result of the latest cabinet shuffle.

Parliamentary sources in Capetown are saying that the decision to take away
the Internal Affairs portfolio from De Klerk has caused him to fall behind the
other aspirants: Messrs Pik Botha and Chris Heunis. Moreover, additional
responsibilities have been assigned to Mr Heunis who is a confidant of State
President P.W. Botha.

According to the sources in question De Klerk's chairmanship of the White
Ministerial Council does in no way compensate for the loss of the Home
Affairs portfolio.

White Private Affairs is now playing a lesser role in the multiracial parlia-
ment. Thus far this year there have been 101 draft bills submitted for Public
Affairs, three for Parliament's Private Affairs, three for the Coloreds Private
Affairs and four for the Indian Private Affairs.

Originally the plan was to make the position of Chairman of the White Minister-
ial Council a prestigious one. Those occupying such a position would have had
a strong claim to the state presidency. However, the appointment of Mr Alwyn
Schlebusch as first chairman of the White Ministerial Council resulted in no
longer ascribing as high a status to that position. The lessening role of the
Whites Private Affairs has contributed more to this situation.

What is especially significant is that Mr De Klerk's Home Affairs portfolio
was taken away from him after he had to manage a number of controversial mea-
sures under this portfolio. Some of these were the repeal of Article 16 of the
Immorality Act, the Mixed Marriages Act and the Act on the Ban of Political
Interference. Mr De Klerk's involvement with these matters doubtlessly caused
him a great deal of damage in his power basis of Transvaal.

Education is one of the coming fronts to be attacked by those who want to

bring about complete integration. Mr De Klerk will again be finding himself
under fire when efforts are made to institute an integrated educational system.

Leninist party whose mission will be to lead the revolutionary process in our
country.

Win Over the Peasantry

But our party is aware that the triumph of the RDN can only come about through
the work of the immense majority of our people. From that point of view, the
poor peasants who constitute the overwhelming majority of the Senegalese
population will have a decisive and irreplaceable role to play in the
revolutionary process in Senegal. Our party, the Ln/UPr, drawing inspiration
from the lessons of the communist movement, has emphasized the fact that the
battleground in the struggle against the other forces that want to lead the
revolutionary process in our country is in fact the poor peasantry, to the
extent that the party which is able to win them over definitively, to lead
them, and to identify with their struggle and political objectives, is certain
to assume leadership of the revolution now under way. That is why, drawing its
conclusions from this analysis, the L)/MPT is conducting propaganda work in the
countryside--actively, continually, and in many different forms. Such a line of
action is in accordance with our objectives and with the nature of our party,
and is completely spelled out in the conclusions of our First Regular
Conference, which assigned us the task of establishing the party in every
corner of Senegal before our next congress, But it is not enough merely to
complete the building of the powerful party of the working class and the
peasantry~-we must also bring the popular masses to experience democracy in
action, so that they will learn to exercise power, full power, for themselves
and by themselves.

Achieve Unity

This explains why our party, the LD/MPT, now as in the past, is working
uninterruptedly to promote the widest and most militant patriotic unity, and to
unify and continually enlarge the numbers of struggling cadres working for the
masses in every sector of national life. In the same way, our party has helped
promote many different kinds of initiatives to enable the greatest possible
number of Senegalese men and women to organize around their interests and
personal aspirations, and to contribute, thereby, to the progressive isolation
of the PS [Senegalese Socialist Party] regime and to the hastening of the
triumph of the RDN, the transition to socialism.

All these tasks, which have become more imperative and urgent than ever,
require communist militants to demonstrate responsibility, a spirit of
sacrifice and self-abnegation worthy of the situation and its now unavoidable
demands.

That means that w/MPt militants, now more than in the past, must maintain a
permanent party presence everywhere and stay in touch with the masses. We must
carry our ideology and our social plan to the masses.

Indelible Imprint
We must act in such a way that all the struggles waged by the Senegalese people
and all proposals for change in Senegal bear the indelible imprint of our

party, the LD/MP, the stamp of communism. Our party, by the continuing
activity of its militants, by the lucidity and clarity of its analyses, its

STATUS OF HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION, EXPLORATION

Paris THE INDIAN OCEAN NEWSLETTER in English 29 Jun 85 pp 7-8

[Text]

Despite the recent discovery of natural gas reserves at Songo Songo island,
estimated at 725 billion cubic feet and. still untapped, Tanzania remains
totally dependent on foréign sources to fill its hydrocarbon requirements. In
“1982, these imports absorbed 51 per cent of available hard currency (export
revenue plus unprogrammed foreign aid). But on top of this heavy fuel bill,
Tanzania has another problem: a woefully lacking system of distribution for
petroleum products. This presents a formidable handicap for the dominant
agricultural sector of the economy. How can the peasants be motivated to
produce when, on one hand, the fertilizer and insecticide they need to raise
quality crops are delivered late and with difficulty, and on the other, the
state marketing agencies do not purchase and pick up their harvests in a timely
fashion? :
It is these problems that a program of support for the petroleum sector,
financed to the tune of 8 million dollars by the World Bank (I.0.N.
«No.187), will attempt to resolve in part over the coming months. A number

of storage tanks and service stations are to be repaired and refitted.
However, the project will not take care of putting back into service the

250 rail tanker wagons presently out of working order, nor the boats that

are supposed to serve the shores of Lake Victoria and the seacoast.

Currently, five companies are involved in distribution of petroleum

products in Tanzania, whether imported or refined in the country. These

are BP, Agip, Esso, Caltex and Total, with the Tanzanian subsidiaries of

BP_ and Agip being partly owned by the Tanzanian Petroleum Development
Corporation, TPDC. The only. refinety in Tanzania, Tiper (an

Italian-Tanzanian consortium), has an annual capacity of 750,000 metric

tons. But irregular supply (the two main sources of crude oil were Iraq

and Iran) and the dire foreign-exchange shortage are held responsible for

the refinery's unsatisfactory performance. In addition to losses of oil through
wastage (7-to 8 per cent) that are above international levels, the refinery
does not produce enough petrol, kerosene or diesel fuel, while there is a
surplus of fuel oil. In addition, because of a shortage of cylinders, the
‘refinery cannot stock a large part of the liquefied petroleum gas it produces.

BALANCE OV PAYMENTS SURPLUS REPORTED--For the first time since 1980 Nigeria's
balance of payment position recorded an overall surplus last year. The sur-
plus was 262.1 million naira as against a deficit of 244.8 million naira in
1983, These figures are contained in the 1984 annual report and statement of
account from the Central Bank. The report says that while imports declined
by 19.4 percent last year, exports increased by 19.6 percent. This resulted
in a balance of trade surplus of 1,9 billion naira. The country's external
assets also increased by 67.9 percent which amounts to 1.5 billion naira at
the end of the year. The official reserves went up by 45,2 percent making
the reserves 1.16 billion naira. [Text] [Lagos Domestic Service in English

GOVERNMENT, POLICE AT ODDS. ON RIOT CONTROL
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 5 Jun 85 p 2

[Text] The police are very dissatisfied with the government's handling of
riots in black residential sections, Last week DIE AFRIKANER learned from
highly reliable sources that this feeling is especially rampant among the
police in Eastern Cape. Often the police come to the end of their wits on how
to handle riot situations in light of the government's vacillating actions,
Policemen are also afraid that they will become scapegoats if they do what is
necessary for effectively controlling riots.

The same source has told us that a feeling of "hate" has taken hold between
policemen and Blacks in the Eastern Cape.

Previously rumors were circulating that a telegram from the highest police
levels was sent to Minister of Law and Order Louis le Grange requesting, in
the sharpest terms, clarity on how the government wants the police to handle

the riots.

Political circles expect that an interview conducted by Mr le Grange with the
leftist paper DIE SUID-AFRIKAAN will further increase dissatisfaction among

the police.

In the interview Mr Le Grange made an unprecedented attack on Eastern Cape
police officers. He also accused officers of "flagrant disregard of very clear
instructions." Some of the police officers acted on their own discretion,

according to the minister.

Mr Le Grange said that the week before the Langa riots he had given orders to
officers in Port Elizabeth, but in spite of this policemen proceeded to use
their own discretion.

Mr Le Grange's actions have been strongly condemned in HNP [Herstigte Nasionale
Party] circles. If police officers have not complied with orders, this is a
departmental matter which should be cleared up between the minister and the
police. We were told: "To make an attack on the police publicly in an inter-
view with a leftist publication places a question mark behind the loyalty of
Mr Le Grange with respect to the police.”

Lyrical

Dr Treurnicht himself does not talk outright of an Afrikaner state, but
hazards a "fatherland of its own" for the Afrikaner people.

Deeper in the CP atmosphere, the leader of the Afrikaner-Volkswag,
Professor Carel Boshoff, waxes lyrical about a sovereign state for the
Afrikaner people and others who wish to share it with them.

A stormy agitator of the CP, Professor Hercules Booysen, chairman of the
Oranjewerkers ["Orange Workers"], simply talks outright of an "Afrikaner
land."

Don't think that this ideological trek to a new Thirstland should be
written off as a passing spasm of the far right.

Deadly Logical
Seen from the right, it is logical, deadly logical.

Dr Treurnicht talks so glibly against "power sharing" and "mixed
government," but his most near-sighted followers know that the Afrikaner
has shared power ever since the advent of Union, with English speakers,
Portuguese (one-seventh of the whites) and others.

A "pure" Afrikaner people that rules only itself can only be achieved
in a homeland of its own. Wherever that might be found.

The Western Cape is apparently out. Some on the far right seem ready
to cut off the whole Western Cape--Table Mountain, the Castle and
Parliament included, as well as Stellenbosch and Paarl, birthplace of
the language struggle--from the white state. It's not right to make the
Richtersveld a "heartland" for the colored people.

"Untwist"

One can only imagine what the Cape Afrikaners think of such ideas.

The idea that the old Boer republics should be revived is again flourishing
mostly in and around Pretoria. Like most delusions of the far right,

this plan too runs aground above all in the area of economics.

These people apparently want to “untwist" everything, but how are they
going to achieve that with the conglomerate of the Rand, the economic
powerhouse of South Africa?

In their escape plans they try to get further and further away from reality,

such as the need for an orderly process of black urbanization. They continue
to live in the dream that they can get by without it.

formerly at the head of USKOR--the Clinical Organization of the University
of Stellenbosch--and these days is managing director of the Rural
Foundation.

"The people with whom the students came into contact were mostly the
victims of liquor abuse and Saturday night stabbings and troublemaking.
Relations were mostly superficial and there were few converts or those
who continued better moral behavior," he says. "The farmers realized
that good work was being done among their workers, but they were not
exactly involved themselves." ‘

"It was only when they realized that one of.the aims of the work was to
provide agriculture in South Africa with a motivated’ and enetgetic labor
force, and at the same time to improve living standards among farm workers
and thus, it was hoped, to stem the population increase among the farm
workers, that the farmers began to take an interest."

Today numerous farmers and their families--from the Cape to the Transvaal
and the Free State--are involved in this attempt at betterment, and they
are increasingly reaping the rewards of their involvement.

“There is a new spirit at work among farmers, and we receive more and
more invitations from near and far to explain the objectives of the
Foundation to farming communities," says Mr Bosman. "The way in which
they then give their support is heartening."

According to him these fine successes are, among other things, thanks to
the pioneering work of the Kirstens, the Du Toits and the Molteno
brothers--all scientific farmers who already had personnel managers, labor
managers and sports organizers on their farms to look after their farm
workers’ interests.

Other farmers who must be singled out are a small group in the Cold
Bokkeveld, a family of university-trained young farmers who gave attention
to the betterment of their farm workers on their own.

Realized

Then there is a man like the Springbok rugby player Jan Boland Coetzee,
who early on saw that there was a connection between liquor abuse and the
farm workers' inadequate opportunities for meaningful recreation, and
made it his job to do something about it.

Many other names can be added: people like Frans Malan, Nicky Krone,
Jan Orffer, Jacques Theron, Dennis Frazer and Riaan Jordaan, all men who
realized that something drastic had to be done to provide South African
agriculture with a stable, motivated labor force and to raise the living
standards of the farm workers.

PATROL PLANE. SPECULATION--South Africa does not need a civilian coastguard
with airplanes. In any case, such an operation at the civilian level would be
too expensive, Mr Jock Germishuys, deputy director-general of transportation,
told DIE VADERLAND today. He was responding to inquiries regarding announce-
ments made by a spokesman for Marcel Dassault-Greciet Aviation that the com-
pany is prepared to supply patrol planes to South Africa. However the company
has stipulated that such planes not be used by the military. Aviation and .
military authorities, however, believe that a plane patrol under the direction
of civilian airlines is out of the question. . The Falcon Guardian--the airplane
which South Africa might be able to obtain--costs 30 million rand apiece. What
it would cost to man and maintain a fleet of patrol planes must also be con-
sidered. At present the military is the only organization in the Republic that
has the infrastructure to support an airborne coastguard patrol, and it is thus
very unlikely that South Africa will purchase the Falcon Guardian since the _
military cannot use it. It is the policy of the South African military not’ to
comment on the purchase or sale of strategic equipment. [Text] [Johannesburg’

GOVERNMENT SLOWS MATURITY OVER PRESS I REEDOM
Kampala FOCUS in Mnglish 11 Jun 85 p 2
[iditorial]

[Text] The freedom of the press is an important factor in any society, for
it helps in the observance of human rights. Journalists are also the eyes,
ears and on many occasions the mouth of society. They point out both the

good and the bad for the sole purpose of enhancing a society's development.

In developed countries like in Western urope the free press has played a
significant role in the development of those nations. An example is the
United States which has many races but which the free press has tremendously
helped in creating a sens of nationalism.

Nevertheless in many other countrics journalists have become prey to a number
of forces for they have been mistakenly seen as trouble-shooters. On the
international. scene, there are constant expulsions of newsmen from one nation
to another, allegedly for spying.

On the national scenes especially in the third world jouranlists face constant
imprisonment, torture and sometimes death. A good example is the Uganda case
during the Amin era when a number of foreign and local journalists met their
death. One such journalists was Nicholas Stroh, a free lance, who wanted to
investigate Amin's massacres.

But with the fall of Amin in 1979 Uganda was sweeped by excessive freedom of
the press especially during the Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF) in-
stitutions re-emerged on the Uganda scene and which will be very difficult to
suffocate by any government.

Thus a problem developed, Journalists who were not used to a free press and
had worked under censorship for nearly a decade became over~excited and tend-
ed to misuse the newly-born freedom.

Likewise important institutions and people in our society like politicians

who were not used to a free society began to see the Journalists as evil men
and women. ‘The result of both cases was for many Ugandan Journalists to be

government can use to apprehend these ferocious murderers who have done a
lot not only to destroy lives of Ugandans and their property, but also to
discredit the UPC regime to a point where it is regarded as one of the most
sadistic regimes that can be found anywhere in the world today,

Reports have suggested that one of the men who was travelling with the MP,
after being battered with gun butts was dumped in Mbuya military barracks.
The vehicle in which the MP was travelling has also been seen in the same
barracks.

Uganda certainly has an operating police force as well as numerous intelli-~
gence organs which are financed by taxpayers money. One would expect that
after receiving such concrete evidence these would have acted to apprehend
the culprits and establish the exact circumstances under which Ssebuggwawo
was abducted and subsequently killed.

Hon Ssebuggwawo was abducted (and presumably killed) over two weeks ago.
During all this time government has seen it fit to keep quiet and perhaps
pretend that the incident never happened. Yet the grim facts are before the
world: another illustrious and promising Ugandan has disappeared under
mysterious circumstances. The way government has ‘reacted suggests that it
wants the mystery to deepen.

And yet to millions of Ugandans and the international. community there is no
‘mystery' about llon. Ssebuggwawo's murder.

Ile was abducted and killed by known members of Uganda's military. The big
question that begs an answer is why was he killed?

By keeping silent, government is implicating itself and under the circum
stances, it is not hard to believe that perhaps Hon Ssebuggwawo's death was
officially sanctioned. Why else should a government-~any government-~abdi-
cate its duty of protecting the lives of its citizens? Why haven't the al-
leged murderers--Sgt. Major Sokolo and Capt. Babu been questioned if only
to exonerate them? Why should the men who were travelling with the MP be
kept in illegal custody--that is, if they are still alive? Is it because
government fears that they might talk? And why hasn't the government fol-
lowed the numerous clues which have been given, and try to trace the MP's
body?

It is up to the government to answer the questions raised above. Failure to
do so will provide the world with very sinister implications. The obvious con-
clusion that can be reached in the circumstances is that government knows
much about the death of the MP. The UPC government has received yet another
plackmark in the eyes of the world.

We, of the MUNNANSI join. the opposition parliamentary group to demand an
explanation of the circumstances surrounding the abduction of Hon Ssebuggwawo.
We demand that the alleged murderers be arrested and tried under the laws of
this country.

[Text] No other aspect of life is as full of irony as that of politics, and
no aspect of politics is as tragic as that of diplomacy. . oS

Since 1981, South Africa has experienced antivaled friendship from the White

was the most important factor. “It has often been said that the United ‘States

In retrospect, one can understand what caused that situation. At that time

the democrats did two unforgivable things to South Africa. ‘To begin with;.

they refused to recognise South Africa's dominant position in ‘southern Africa,

They saw us as just one of several rivals for power in this region, D

That was extremely painful, bécause for the first time in ‘the. history: of
modern southern Africa, Pretoria's role as a regional power was not under-
written by the West. It goes without saying that many people in this country
felt we were being robbed of our birthright. * :

Secondly, for many South Africans it'came as a shock that the formulators of
American policy towards South Africa were liberals and, worse still, blacks.

This last observation may sound crude, because since the seventies South
Africa's diplomacy has been color blind. Yet it is ironic that overseas we’ ~
did our best to be color blind, while at home we remained only too aware of

the democratic and patriotic forces in our country, to shape them into a tidal
wave capable of overturning and driving out the neocolonial regime and the
monopolies that have promoted it and protect it.

Since this revolution can only be victorious and consolidate itself under the
leadership of our party, the LD/MPT, the vanguard of the working class, we
must--and this is essential--bring into the party the most politically
conscious and combative workers, and the LD/MPT must be massively and
permanently established within the Senegalese working class. Under current
conditions, the party is making this cardinal task the epicenter of its
activity. It is important now for all the comrades to understand the necessity
and urgency of continuing along this path, moving faster, expanding and
intensifying still further our activities among the workers. The party must
make its presence felt in all popular fields of endeavor and all lower-class
neighborhoods.

Leninist Methods

But this work will have to be carried out patiently, persistently, and
methodically. That means that we must avoid any precipitous or hasty actions,
repudiate all voluntarist and populist tactics and hold firmly to
Leninist-style tactics and organization. It is by means of such persistent and
methodical work that we will be able to strengthen still further the LD/MPT's
pase inside the working class and complete the building of the powerful

Afterwards, instead of being an independent organization the Broederbond gra-
dually turned its path to ever greater usefulness for the NP [National Party].
It. became a mere support organization for the party, which was not much more
than a "think tank" for the NP. Thus Mr Vorster's new dissenting sports policy,
for example, was circulated by the AB among its members before it was made known
to parliament.

Events surrounding the NP and the AB have taught that it is hard for such secret
organizations to stay out of politics. At one time or another they end up
boots and all in party politics, especially when the leaders of such an organi-
zation accept the role of a partisan tool without protest.

With the creation of a secret organization you obviously make a differentiation
among Afrikaners. Some of them are invited to join and others are not. This
is not necessarily undesirable, because everyone is not always in an equally
favorable position to provide services.

Yet, the exclusiveness of secret organizations always leads to dislike of the
organization by those who are not invited to join. They see their being left
out as a reflection on their Afrikanerhood —- as if they were less Afrikaner
than those who did get invited to join. °

How do you draw a consistent dividing line anyhow between those who are invited
to become members and those who are passed over? In the case of the AB numerous
outstanding Afrikaners were never members, whereas others whose loyalty was
doubtful were allowed in.

The history of the Broederbond has shown that among Afrikaners secret organiza—
tions easily lend themselves to elitism and a type of snobism. Members of such
an organization .secretly like to see themselves as just a little better than
their fellow citizens, in spite of the fact that this will be strongly denied.

Of course, the jobs for pals principle easily applies also in a secret organi-
zation. The development of cliques and personal interests easily takes prece~
dence, and then this often goes hand in hand with political usefulness.

There should be no doubt about the fact that there is a great deal of skepti-
cism today in rightwing political circles about secret organizations. The ex-
perience of members of the HNP (and later also members of the KP [Conservative
Party]) with the Broederbond resulted in a justified dislike for such movements
which cannot be ignored. Many prominent members of both parties will not
easily let themselves become involved with such an organization under current
circumstances.

The Afrikaner opposition to the NP currently has a formidable group of organi-
zations at its disposal, which makes it extremely effective. In addition to
the two political parties which take action purely in the area of partisan po-
litics, the "alliance" also has the Afrikaner People's Guard at its disposal,
which lets its voice be heard increasingly in the cultural area and talks with
increasing authority as the number of its members grows. Besides this, there
is SABRA [South African Bureau of Racial Affairs] which could provide an

SWAPO PRISON CAMPS CONDEMNED BY HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION
Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG in German 26 Jun 85 p 7

(Text] Frankfurt, 25 June. “Anyone who is against SWAPO is'finished. Anyone
who opens his mouth is a dead man." A report of the International
Organization for Human Rights (IGFM) in Frankfurt, presented on Tuesday,
documents statements ‘by seven former members, some prominent, of the Namibian
opposition movement "South West Africa People's Organization" (SWAPO)
concerning violations of human rights in SWAPO camps. The document also
mentions human rights violations by a notorious special unit of the South
African Security Forces in the north of South-West Africa/Namibia; this
"Koevoet" unit is to be dissolved by the new "transitional government"
installed a week ago in Windhoek. -

Most of the statements describe a similar course of events: crossing the
border after a false promise of receiving a good education abroad, or an
abduction; military training ina camp with inadequate rations and health
care; deployment in the guerrilla war, in reconnaissance units’ or. in camp
administration; leaving SWAPO because of disillusionment; ‘detention in camps
in Zambia or Angola; physical abuse, flight, hiding with friends. Two
Namibians--including the sister of the prominent SWAPO leader, Daniel
Tjongarero--accused the representative of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees in the Zambia capital city of Lusaka (in one case also in
Zairian Lumumbdshi) of having refused to help ("They didn't want to-do
anything against SWAPO"); the police in Lusaka are reportedly powerless
against SWAPO, which allegedly prowls the eity with a special unit searching
for dissidents.

SWAPO has, according to the testimony, several prison camps in Zambia and
Angola, "concentration camps for dissidents and spies," in which many have
died of starvation. Prisoners reportedly had to live in holes in the ground
as much as 6 meters deep. Anyone considered politically unreliable would
disappear without a trace. In the camps everyone is watched and spied on.
Opposition is suppressed; everyone is afraid. “Everything is regulated
according to the communist example" (SWAPO leaders are considered to be
strongly oriented toward the East bloc). Witnesses report that they were
educated in the Soviet Union or at the Wilhelm Pieck University at Bogensee
near East Berlin. Women in the camps--many are frequently raped--are said to
have "no rights over their children}" at the age of 3, they are removed toa

MALAWI

FRG AID FOR AGRICULTURAL PROJECTS

Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG/BLICK DURCH DIE WIRTSHAFT in German 19 Jun
85 p 2 ‘ ws

{Text] Frankfurt. In contrast to many other African nations where natural
conditions are similar, under President Dr H. Kamuzu Banda, Malawi has given
highest priority to the development of private agriculture. This is being
carried out especially by African smallholders. State farms like those in
socialist-oriented countries have been rejected. Plantations under foreign
ownership are not expropriated. So far Malawi has been able to feed itself
and, furthermore, to deliver agricultural products, especially maize, to needy
neighboring countries (Zambia, Tanzania). The significance of agriculture,
from which almost 90 percent of the population lives, stems also from the
export structure in which two products (tobacco and tea) are dominant. Sugar
and peanuts should be mentioned as other export goods.

The cutting of the rail lines to the nearest ports, Nacala (1,400 kilometers)
and Beira (1,600 kilometers) in Mozambique, by the rebels of the Mozambique
National Resistance (MNR) is causing great difficulties. In place of these
ports, overseas trade must be carried out’ with much higher transportation
costs through South African ports (Durban 4,000 kilometers) or the. less .
efficient port of Dar es Saalam in Tanzania: this is putting quite a strain
on the balance of payments. The important road connection with Harare, the
capital of Zimbabwe, by way of Tete in Mozambique is also endangered by the
rebels.

The Kreditanstalt fuer Wiederaufbau (KfW) [Reconstruction Credit Bank] of
Frankfurt is currently considering a project commissioned by the federal
government for delivery of 45 German freight trucks worth DM 13 million for
the improvement of the transportation situation. The American U.S. Agency for
International Development (US AID) is pursuing a parallel project for delivery
of 15 freight trucks to private Malawian transport firms.

In the past year Malawi has achieved a real growth of 7.6 percent in its GNP
compared to 1983, resulting primarily from increased export profits from tea
and the export of warehoused stocks of tobacco. Together, these two
agricultural products constituted 71 percent of exports in 1984. During 1984,
sugar production, the country's third most significant source of foreign
exchange, suffered especially heavily from the cutting of the rail lines. At

INKATHA YOUTH LEADER DISCUSSES BLACK VIOLENCE
¥MB051216 London BBC World Service in English 1515 GMT 4 Jul 85
[From the "Focus on Africa” Program/

/Text/ While violence continues in South Africa's black townships, a disturbing
development this year has been conflict between two major antiapartheid move-
ments, the Azanian People's Organization, AZAPO, and the United Democratic
: Front UDF. A number of people have been killed and injured in clahses, and
property destroyed. At the same time there is not much love lost betweeen
AZAPO and the UDF on one hand and Chief Gatsha Buthelezi's Inkatha Zulu move—
ment on the other, with the Inkatha Youth Brigade being accused of intimidating
members of the other organizations. (Temba Ndzimande), a member of the Inkatha
Youth Brigade National Executive is in London. Robin White asked him what he
though of all the friction:

/Begin recording/ /(Ndzimande/) I see it as a very pity that at the moment

the struggle of the black man is now misdirected. It is now this black on

plack confrontation escalating merely because there are those other organizations
which want to create no-go area for others.

WMhite/ Who are you quarreling with most? Is it the UDF that you are quarreling
with most?

/(Ndzimande) / Yes, it is the UDF, but from the onset they stated that it does
not want any relationship with Inkatha, and even after repeated calls from
Inkatha to form a unity, to have discussions with it, but it has refused
altogether....

fihite/ Why? Is that because they see you in some way a tribal organization?

[(Ndzimande)/ Because they state that we are collaborating with the state by
working in this homeland system.

Finite] Do you think is there any way of you resolving your differences with
the UDF and AZAPO?

[(dzimande)/ Well, at the moment I can't see how, except for us to go on,
you know, appealing to them to come and accept, you know, our role in politics,
to accept other organizations' role in the resistance against apartheid, against

the system.

ZAMBIA

NEW TOURISM PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE BID
Lusaka TIMES OF ZAMBIA in English 28 Jun 85 p 1

[Text] Zambia has launched an ambitious programme to transform the tourism in-
dustry into a major foreign exchange carner.

To this effect the Government has appointed Circuit Holdings, a subsidiary of
the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) to upgrade a number of safari
lodges in the national parks.

Circuit Holdings general manager Malcolm Freed said in a statement yesterday
the exercise involved the overhaul of Mfuwe, Chichele and Luamfwa lodges in
South Luangwa National Park.

Others are the Lochinvar lodge in Lochinvar National Park and Rainbow lodge
in Livingstone.

An agreement has already been signed between Inter~Continental Travel (ICT)
of London, a subsidiary of London-based Zambia Appointments Limited (ZAL)
and the National Hotels Development Corporation (NUDC) to market Zambia's
tourist potential internationally.

Mr Freed said Circuit Holdings had wanted to develop tourist lodges in the
lower Zambezi and construct a new 40-bed lodge.

Work on the NHDC lodges would start within the next two weeks and he hoped
the programme would be completed in 16 months.

The company wanted to ensure that tourists were given personal attention at
all times and that they experienced their own "safari adventure’ without the
overcrowded situation in other game parks in other countries.

Because of this, the company would construct lodges of only up to 40 beds.
“We are aiming for the high cost up market tourists in small groups."

There were plans to start a safari operators training school in Lusaka to de-

velop among other things the personalities of operators. Safari lodge manage~
ment needed people who were conversant with Zambia's game animals and tourist

attraction.

IMPROVED RAINFALL IN SAHEL--Niamey, Niger,’ July 14. (AFP)--Improved rainfall in.
West Africa's Sahel region has led to satisfactory growth of crops and pasture
grass in several areas seriously affected in the past by. drought, regional
agriculture experts said. Specialists at the Agro-Meteorological and Operation-
al Hydrology Center here said this week. that while spring rains were. still below
normal, they had fallen steadily for several weeks in all Sahel states. . They
said crop growth, particularly of grains, was satisfactory, notably in the west
and southwest of Burkina Faso, southwestern Mali, southwestern and central ©
Niger and southern Chad. © Experts at’ the center, which operates .under the :
auspices of the Permanent Intersatte Committee for Drought Control in the .Sahel
(ICDCS), said plant growth ‘on most pasturelands was normal, including in.the
formerly parched region stretching from Mopti in central Mali to Dori in north-
ern Burkina Faso. But despite the greater precipitation, the experts cautioned
against overoptimum, saying it was too early to estimate actual harvest levels
and that actual food production figures would remain unclear until late August.
Finally, they said that parts of Niger and Burkina Faso were still receiving
insufficient rain. The eight members of the ICDCS, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde,
Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Niger and Chad, had a record grain short-, .
fall last year of 175 million tonnes. [Text] [Paris AFP in English 1115. GMT

SOUTH AFRICA

FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DEFENSE FORCE DISAGREE ON POLICY
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 4
(Editorial: "Diplomats Against the Military"]

[Text] The resignation of General Constand Viljoen and the transfer of
General Van Deventer from the sensitive post of secretary of the state
security council to an ambassadorship in Ciskei are alarming events. Anyone
who has observed the struggle during the past years between the Department of
Foreign Affairs and the Defense Force on action to be taken in Southern Africa
will realize that the Department of Foreign Affairs now has the upper hand.

Apparently Mr P. W. Botha, as former Minister of Defense, first sided with the
defense force, but with the Treaty of Nkomati the scales tipped heavily
against the Defense Force. At the time there was mention of great
dissatisfaction among the military leaders over that peace with the communists
and the resulting non-peace with the anti-communists of Renamo.

As was to be expected, this peace-making with the communists was the first
step in initiating a similar peace in connection with SWA and Angola. And it
is clear from some information that the Botha government now also wants to
leave Savimbi and UNITA to its fate for the sake of peace with SWAPO.

Apparently General Viljoen's and General Van Deventer's sense of honor were
offended by that. As military men they have a standard of loyalty and honor
which prevents them from cheerfully exchanging today's friend for the enemy,
and vice versa. Their code of honor is different from that of diplomats, who
don't know loyalty and whose nature it is to haggle and circumvent.

The fact that the Department of Foreign Affairs has the closest ties with the
United States and is therefore the channel through which the United States
exerts its influence the most, does not need explanation. That is one of the
most upsetting aspects of the current developments. Each "peace" is an
obvious weakening of South Africa--morally, militarily, diplomatically and
politically. And that apparently is what the United States has in mind. The
enemies must not be defeated militarily, like the Defense Force can and wants
to do--no, peace must be made with the enemy, for that enemy enjoys the
support of the United States.

CHINESE TEXTILE MILL PERFORMANCE EXPLORED

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 24 Jun 85 pp 1, 3

[Article by Daniel Mshana]

[Text]

PRODUCTION at the Friendship
Textile Mill (URAFIKI) has
tremendously improved since the
factory started receiving spare
parts from China worth more
than 11m/- early this year.
The mill’s General Manager,
Ndugu Julius Mhondo, said in
Dar es Salaam over the weekend
that over 85 per cent of the
production target of 21.3 million
metres of clothing material might
be reached this year following
marked increase in « efficiency.
By last March, the Mill had
produced 6 million metres, he

said. , ‘

Althobgh last year the Mill had
set the same target, he said, it
could not be reached mainly
because of spares problems
coupled with shortage. of dyes
and frequent water cuts.

Ndigu Mhondo said the spares
had been secured from China un-
der a barter trade arrangement,
adding that the last consignment
would be received before the end
of the year.

Under a Government trade
protocol, Urafiki exchanged the

cso: 3400/621

spares with cement, he said.

The mill’s management had on
several occasions appealed to the
Government to assist in securing
Spare parts from China to revive
production. For instance in 1983,
the mill incurred a loss of 49m/-
while the loss was 26m/- the
previous year.

The » General Manager,
however, said the mill presently
faced financial _oonstraints
because the regional trading com-
panies (RTCs) owed it over
32m/-.

The debt atcumulation is as
follows: Tanga — (5.8m/-; Mara
5.7m/-; Shinyanga — 4.3m/-;
Mwanza — 4m/-; Iringa —
2.8m/-; Ruvuma — 2.4m/- and
the Dar es Salaam Textile Com-
pany (DARTEX) — 7.3m/-.

meeting last week, the Urafiki
Board of Directors ruled that tile
mill should stop forthwith sup-
plying the RTCs with more
clothes until the debts were set-
tled,

» Furthermore, for the past three
weeks, the mill has been getting
unreliable supplies of water,
which has seriously jeopardised
smooth performance.

The General Manager said the
National Urban Water Authority
(NUWA) had attributed the water
problem to complications that
have developed in the pumping
systeni at the Lower Ruvu.

Ndugu Mhondo warned that
unless the RTCs paid the bills and
reasonable supply of water was
allowed to flow to the factory, the
set production target could not be
easily reached.

The Board of Internal Trade
(BIT) Director for Planning and
Finance, Ndugu’ D.S. Mashiku,
said over the weekend that he
was unaware of  Urafiki's
liquidity, problems as a result of
the RTCS fot paying for their or-
ders.

Ndugu Mashiku said he was
only aware that BIT had “done
something” on the accumulated
debts of over 113m/- and that
RTCs had not paid the Ubungo
Farm Implements (UFI) for the
past few months.

Moves Toward ME) Unity

Dakar FAGARU in French Jun 85 p 16

[Text] The Dakar Student Movement [MED] has taken big strides over the last 2
years. The 1984 strike, by its scope and duration, forced every student
organization to show its true colors by its position toward the MED. UNDES
[expansion unknown], for example, under the pretext of differences of opinion
with the strike leadership, took a path leading straight into the arms of the
Ministry of Higher Education. And that is where it has stayed. But the minister
of national education and higher education was not satisfied: he wanted it to
have a majority of the students. However, the najority rejected the UNDES
candidates in the 7 March 1985 elections and voted for other groups to
represent then in the COUD's [expansion unknown] CA [expansion unknown]. But
the minister continues to seat’ the four UNDES types on the social committee, on
the pretext that they are "alternates." Think about it: "alternates" who sit
right beside the actual office-holders! In what respect are they "alternates?"
Only in the sense that they represent the embryo of the organization the
minister is cultivating: the one endorsed by the "new" education. The
presentations of 30 April and 1 May showed this clearly.

The current task of the MED is the definitive liquidation of all forms of
opportunism on the university campus. But what does it mean to liquidate
opportunism? It means giving expression to the conscience of the student masses
and insuring their development by establishing a democratic, unitary and
nilitant organization to take charge of the ensuing defense of student
interests. Thus, the principal task of the MED right now is to organize itself
in such a way as to liquidate all the compromisers. The current level of
awareness in the student masses is high enough to make this possible.

The Democratic Union of Dakar Students (UDED) is open to all constructive
initiatives in this direction. The creation of an independent MED newspaper
will be a step toward establishing the conditions for a proad democratic debate
on the reorganization of the student movement. UDED is working and will
continue to work alongside all those who struggle for the defense of the MED's
interests and for organizational unity within the MED,

FAR-RIGHT IDEA OF AFRIKANER STATE CRITICIZED
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 5 Jun 85 p 10

[Column "From My Political Pen" by Dawie: "Ultra-Rights' Trek to New
Thirstland: Something Else for CP to Pirate"]

[Text] Watch for it: this new chimera of an Afrikaner state is going
to become a tiger among the ultra-rights, one of those emotional ideas
that so easily gets going. But who will be able to ride this tiger?

The idea of an exclusive Afrikaner state is evidently running strong
among the phalanx of far-right little groups and parties that have at
least one thing in common: they think they are better Afrikaners than
others. In any case, better people.

This delusion about their Afrikanerhood lies at the root of the much
greater delusion of an Afrikaner state, to which these super-Afrikaners
want to undertake a new Thirstland trek.

Boots and All

Among the most notable representatives of such an Afrikaner state is the
new secret rightwing organization Toekomsgesprek ["Futuretalk"], as

well as the Afrikaner Resistance Movement, which finds protection for its
Boer state idea under the wings of the Conservative Party.

The CP [Conservative Party], the only far-right group with parliamentary
representation, has not yet entirely swallowed the idea.

But its capacity for pirating other people's policies should not be
underestimated. Thus the HNP [Herstigte Nasionale Party], which is
increasingly being swallowed by the CP, had to look on while practically
its entire ideology was taken over boots and all by the CP, which broke
away from the NP [National Party] with a lot of grievances but little

policy.

Now forces are at work on a new Afrikaner heaven, the Afrikaner state. It
is a bait the CP is going to have difficulty passing up.

SCHOOLING FOR INDIANS FREE, WHITES MUST PAY
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 29 May 85 p 3
{Article: "Free Schools for Indians, Whites Must Foot the Bill"]

[Text] While white parents will have to foot a steep bill in school -fees
starting next year, Indian schools will continue to provide free education.
At the same time, white parents must as taxpayers pay 62 rand per white child
per year for the education of Indian children,

According to the budget submitted last week in Capetown by the Indian minister
of education, Mr Kassipershad Ramduth, free education for Indian children will
be continued. He also stated that the Indian Council of Ministers has no
plans to impose compulsory school fees for Indian children in the future.

According to a department source in Pretoria, the new Transvaal education
budget which still has to be submitted to the Provincial Council, is estimated
at approximately 1,040 million rand. Each of Transvaal's 536,122 white pro-
vincial students thus cost the authorities 1,940 rand this year.

White school fees for 1986 will probably average 175 rand per child: from
140 rand for a child starting school to 210 rand for matriculating students.
In addition there is the school fund levy, which will go up substantially and
is estimated at 65 rand per child. The average total contribution of the
parents will be 240 rand per child, or 20 rand per month per child.

Many parents have already expressed their concern about this. At first the
school fees, without the school fund levy, will still be below 10 percent of
the 1,940 rand cost of education, but it is known that the Transvaal Depart-
ment of Education is under pressure from the minister of finance, Mr Barend du
Plessis, to increase school fees gradually.

Even the expected average total parent contribution of 240 rand per year per
child could become a tremendous financial burden for a large household with an

average income.

It is as if the government wants to punish whites who have large families, said
one concerned father to DIE AFRIKANER.

MOZAMBIQUE

ELECTION DELAYED AGAIN
Paris THE INDIAN OCEAN NEWSLETTER in English 22 Jun 85 p 4

[Text]

MNR rebel activity and the drought have forced Mozambique to postpone
general elections once again. Foreign Minister Joaquim CHISSANO told the
closing session of the parliament, the People's Assembly, on June 14 that
elections would be held next year on a date to be fixed. According to the
constitution these elections, which would be the second since Mozambique
became independent in 1975, should have been held in 1982. They have been
repeatedly delayed because of what President MACHEL termed the need "to
concentrate our efforts on the priority tasks of fighting hunger and
eliminating the armed banditry", as the goverment refers to rebel
activity. Mr. MACHEL told the assembly that both the West and the East
had given significant assistance to Mozambique in the face of the twin

scourges.
Before the assembly's session, Mr. MACHEL had called on militants of

the ruling Frelimo party, gathered for a central committee meeting, to
"mobilize all the people for the war". Both the party central committee
and the assembly, whose session was delayed more than a year, heard
speeches focusing heavily on the fight against the rebels and calling for
virtually "everything for the war front".

In addition, the assembly approved Mozambique's foreign investment
law, published last year, and an amnesty for "criminals". It also
approved this year's state budget and central plan. There is an increase
of 1.6 per cent over last year's expenditure and the current budget is
27.5 billion meticais, about 650 million dollars. More than one-third of
this amount has been set aside for defense _and security. It was the first
time in several years that defense expenditure had been made public, most
probably owing to pressure from the International Monetary Fund, which
wants to know how Mozambique is spending its resources as it seeks credit
from international financial institutions.

promised a credit of $2.8 million in December 1984. Additional resources are
being provided by the OPEC Fund and the European Development Fund. The
British firm of Landell Millis Associates Ltd. of Bath was ealled in as a
consultant in the cacao project, scheduled for completion in 1989.

Tropical wood is the only other export product worth mentioning. In 1969,
310,000 tons of tropical wood (primarily okoume and ayous) was exported, but
only 3,000 tons in 1979. In 1983, exports of tropical wood increased again to
70,000 tons. The timber industry is concentrated in the Rio Muni region on
the mainland, where Spanish, French and Italian companies have committed
themselves. Three sawmills and one plywood plant are operating in Equatorial
Guinea.

Prospects are favorable for the discovery of oil and gas deposits since
Equatorial: Guinea lies between Cameroon and Gabon, countries in which oil is
already being recovered. Geological conditions in Equatorial Guinea are
similar. In February 1984, a 3-year eoncession for exploration and subsequent
extraction in a 2,200 square kilometer region in Rio Muni was granted to an
international consortium. The French firm Elf Aquitaine has a 25 percent
share in the subsidiary Elf Aquitaine Guinee Equitoriale, which has assumed
leadership of the operation. Other partners in the consortium are are AGIP
Africa (25 percent), Ultramar Exploration (25 percent) as well as Rimrock
Offshore and Murphy Equatorial Guinea Oil with 12.5 percent each.

In spring 1984, during exploratory drilling in the offshore area west of
Malabo, Guineano~Espanola de Petroleos (Gepsa), a 50-50 partnership of the
government of the country and the Spanish company Hispajoil, discovered a gas
deposit, the extent of which is yet to be determined. Gepsa made the strike
at a depth of 3,829 meters. In November 1982, the International Development
Association (IDA) awarded Equatorial Guinea a $24 million, credit for oil and
gas exploration to finance technical assistance and procure equipment.

One of the country's most significant developmental projects is the expansion
and. modernization of the Bata international airport on the mainland. The
total investment in this project, currently being implemented, is expected to
be approximately $27. million. As partial financing, the Arab Bank for
Economic Development in Africa (Badea) granted a credit of $4.7 million in
fall 1983. An additional credit ($20 million) was committed by the African
Development Bank of Abidjan (Ivory Coast). The primary. results of this
project are to be the lengthening of the runway to 2,200 meters, ‘the
construction of a new service building, the erection of a control tower and
other work on infrastructure. The project is to be completed in October 1985.



The Indian Council of Representatives and their Council of Ministers adopted
''@ 1985-1986 budget of 560 million rand.

However, the contribution of the Indians to South Africa's income only amounts
to 460 million rand, of which 180 million rand are income taxes and 280 million
rand are AVB [expansion unknown].

Hence, their budgetary deficit amounts to 100 million rand, or 17.86 percent
of the budget, which will have to be paid by the white taxpayers.

The Indian education budget submitted by Mr Ramduth amounts to 322 million
rand. Of this, 17.86 percent is subsidized by the white taxpayers, or 57.5
million rand. Hence, the white population with 928,000 children contributes
62 rand per white child to the education of the Indians.

Each Indian child costs the government 1,512 rand per year, of which the whites
contribute 270 rand. The Indian parents‘do not pay anything.

BRIEFS

14 UNITA 'BANDITS' KILLED--The 4th Military Region Defense and Security Forces
stationed in Huambo Province killed 14 UNITA bandits as they prepared to
attack (Chipanga) communal village, in the (Catchiuri) district, the day before
yesterday. During this action, FAPLA forces also captured a large assortment
of war materiel, and freed 50 people who had been kidnapped from the surround-
ing areas and were being used to carry goods stolen from the local residents.
A military source told ANGOP that the abduction of defenseless people clearly
illustrates the character of the UNITA puppet gangs» who flee from direct
contact with FAPLA forces, and turn to murdering people and stealing their
possessions. [Text] [Luanda Domestic Service in English 0500 GMT 17 Jul 85)

UNEMPLOYMENT IN 1985 UP AMONG WHITES, BLACKS
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 6 Jun 85 p 3

[Article "By Our Economic Editorial Staff": "Increased Unemployment
Among Whites, Blacks; Decline Among Coloreds, Asiatics"]

[Text] Unemployment among Whites and Blacks increased sharply nationwide
in the past year, while it declined somewhat among Coloreds and Asiatics.

According to statistics from the Central Statistical Service, 11,122
Whites were without work nationwide in 1979. The number fell to 6,158
in 1981, after which it increased to 14,128 with the start of the
recession. ‘The number of unemployed Whites is projected to reach about
18,000 by the end of this year.

In 1979 unemployment among Blacks ran at. 457,000, after which it fell to
427,000 through 1981. The recession pushed the figure up to 492,000
last year, however. Unemployment among Blacks will reach an estimated
530,000 this year.

Unemployment among Coloreds fell last year from 16,012 to 12,300. The
expectation is, however, that that figure will rise sharply to about
16,000 this year. .

As far as Asiatics are concerned, unemployment also fell last year, from
6,709 to 4,700, but it is expected to rise this year to about 9,000.

As far as the Western Cape is concerned, Whites registered as unemployed
increased from 4,065 to 4,630 in May of this year. Among Coloreds the
figure increased from 9,707 to 11,547, whereas in the preceding

month it declined from 10,128 to 9,707. Unemployment among Asians
remained at a constant 10. [sic]

Random Samplings

Unemployment among Blacks in the Western Cape fell from 899 to 877 in the
same period.

The statistics for unemployment among Whites, Coloreds and Asians nationwide
represent only persons registered as unemployed.

Considering the recurring nature of the strikes regularly perpetrated as the
date for examinations approaches, as attested by the strikes in May 1983, May
1984, and May 1985;

Considering that the said strikes are also launched whenever the board of di-
rectors meets, the obvious purpose being to exert unacceptable pressure on the
board members and monopolize the board's attention for the examination of fan-
ciful demands instead of a'serious discussion of matters of substance;

Having noted the refusal by third-year students at the EISMV, with the support
of their fellow students from the other class years, to attend the course on
general pathological anatomy, for which a visiting professor was brought in at
great expense and which is a course of capital importance, without which the
training received would be third-rate training making them incompetent cadres
unsuited for carrying out correctly the future responsibilities that would be
entrusted to them;

Considering that in Africa, the movement of agitation in schools and universi-
ties has become the new Trojan horse through which the neocolonialist forces
and their local allies are attempting to destabilize political regimes and de~
stroy the authority of their governments;

Considering the tremendous sacrifices being made by the African governments and
peoples to provide high-cost training for young people and accelerate the proc-
ess of their political, economic, and cultural liberation;

Considering the spirit of laziness, irresponsibility, and constant challenge to
government authority that is reflected in the behavior of students who want to
have diplomas without making the necessary effort and sacrifices

Congratulates the administration, faculty, and supervisory personnel in general
for their refusal to submit to the blackmail represented by strikes and for
their firmness, courage, and spirit of vigor--the guarantees of satisfactory
training for future African cadres 3

Condemns the behavior of the students at the EISMV and their outrageous demands,
specifically the demand, for example, that they be allowed to repeat their
courses eternally with the benefit of scholarships, or the demand by the stu-
dents that they themselves, rather than the professors, be allowed to determine
the education they will receive or the conditions under which they must be
tested.

The board of directors orders:
1. The closing of the EISMV as of today, Saturday 8 June 1985.

2. The immediate repatriation of the students concerned to their native coun-
tries. This repatriation must be carried out no later than 15 June 1985.

3. The closing of the university residence hall at the EISMV effective 15 June
1985.

Report on Final Communique
Dakar LE SOLEIL in French 13 Jun 85 p 3

[Article by P. Sedikh Mbodj]

[Text] The delegation from the Soviet Committee for the Defense of Peace was
in our country from 5 to 11 June of this year. It was here for a friendship
and working visit at the invitation of the Senegalese Peace Movement. The
delegation was headed by V. M. Zenkiavitchius, minister of foreign affairs of
the Lithuanian SSR and deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the Lithuanian SSR.
During its stay, it was received by Mamba Guirassy, chairman of the Economic
and Social Council, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ibrahima Fall, and other Sene-
galese authorities. It also visited Goree Island.

In the final communique marking the conclusion of the official visit by the
delegation from the Soviet Committee for the Defense of Peace, the two sides
expressed their concern over the worsening international situation. They em-
phasized that at present, the forces hostile to peace are attempting to lead
the peoples into a new and even more dangerous sphere of the arms race. while
trying to extend it into-space.:.During their. exchanges of views, the two sides
noted that all the peoples of the world have the same chief enemy--the danger
of nuclear war, which undermines man's chief right: the right to life. They
also said that the militarist forces are increasing their military presence
everywhere on the planet, including Africa. The two sides also emphasized the ©
importance of such Soviet initiatives as the USSR's unilateral pledge not to
be the first to use nuclear weapons, the unilateral Soviet moratorium on first
deployment of antispace weapons in space, and the Soviet Union's moratorium on
[copy missing] medium-range [missiles] in Europe, as well as the proposal not
to extend NATO's and the Warsaw Pact's zones of activity to other countries and,
continents. The two sides resolutely condemned the racist regime in South Af-
rica, which is continuing its policy of apartheid and of "state terrorism"
against the front-line states and trampling on the goals and principles of the
United Nations. They demanded the immediate granting of independence to Na-
mibia on the basis of UN Security Council Resolution 435. The two sides agreed
that the arms race, whipped on by aggressive forces, is creating serious ob-
stacles to the solution of mankind's major problems, including the problem of
eliminating the socioeconomic underdevelopment of the liberated countries. The
representatives of the Soviet Committee for the Defense of Peace and the Sene-
galese Peace Movement expressed their support for a subsequent strengthening
of mutual ties both within the World Peace Council and bilaterally. In conclu-
sion, the Soviet side expressed to the Senegalese Peace Movement, the govern-
ment, the National Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Municipality
of Dakar, and the Senegalese fighters for peace its profound gratitude for the _
warm welcome and hospitality accorded it during its stay in our country, and

it invited the Senegalese supporters of peace to visit the USSR in 1986.

union of a single people so long divided by colonial borders? Nigeria has
always encouraged the quite sustained cooperation between African countries,
considering them as positive elements of helping achieve the objectives of
the OAU. In this connection, on the occasion of visits to Nigeria by presi-
dents Jawara and Abdou Diouf in July 1984 and January 1985 respectively,
Nigeria expressed its best wishes to the Confederation as a charter member of
the OAU in general and the ECOWAS family in particular. It would therefore
be absurd if one were to declare that the Commonwealth were trying to torpedo
the Confederation through Nigeria.

Third, regarding the allegation that Nigeria has tight control over the Gambian
authorities to the point of inciting the latter to humiliate Senegal -- in a
fishing boat incident -- it should first of all be noted that Gambia and Sene-
gal are two of the best friends that Nigeria has and Nigeria was barely aware

of that affair.

Finally, Nigeria has signed no defense agreement with any country in the entire
world. However, Nigeria supports’ all common regional security measures that
would be considered as necessary by groups of neighboring countries. One good
example of this element is the latest meeting held under Nigeria's sponsorship,
a meeting in which Benin, Togo ‘and Ghana, its neighbors, participated,

within the framework of ECOWAS andin favor of all.parties concerned. Thus,
the unfounded declaration regarding the signing of a defense agreement between
Nigeria and Gambia again constitutes a scandalous lie.

As high commissioner of Nigeria in Gambia, I hereby ‘state that the communique
signed and that was the subject of great publicity at the close of the official
visit of General Buhari to Gambia last month reflected all the discussions he
held with his host. I cannot imagine where the author could have obtained

his strange ideas or the purposes of those. ideas.

Editor's Note

We can easily understand your ‘concerris-as a diplomat. President Abdou Diouf is
in a good position to know whether all the Nigerian press, with the exception
of the weekly THE DEMOCRATE attacked him on the matter of the North-South or
South-South dialogue he mentioned with his counterpart Buhari in the course of
his official visit. hous

As for the military assistance.agreements, we agree with you if you say that
they "were not signed between Nigeria and Gambia." That is true.. Your coun-
try backed down at the last minute, leaving Pakistan, a member of the Common-
wealth and an extra-African country. without any special relations of friend-
ship with Senegal, handle military assistance to Gambia directly.

According to our sources, secret agreements exist in that direction and it

would be surprising if the government in Lagos were not informed. This being
the case, Nigeria is a privileged partner of Gambia and Senegal.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE SHORTAGE HURTS CIGARETTE FIRM
Enugu DAILY STAR in English 18 Jun 85 p 4
[Article by Dom Ekpunobi}

[Text] Uncertainty surrounds the business activities of Philip-Moris
Nigeria Ltd, :producers of Marlboro and Target brands of cigarette this
year.

The chairman of the company who announced the bleak situation to the share-
holders at the company's annual general meeting peld in Lagos, said that
import licence for the company's raw material have not been issued for
1985.

"TI¢ the government's declared criteria for the allocation of import
licences is to be followed, we should expect to be able to, at least,
repeat the 1984 results in the current year. But uncertainty remains in
view of the tight foreign exchange position, until our 1985 import licence
ig issued. It would be unrealistic to make any forecast of our prospect,"
he declared.

He announced that the company made profit of N5,614,954 compared to
N334,898 in 1984.

Chief Amechere said that the federal government's action in eliminating
smuggling has contributed to the favourable trade in the past year, adding
that consumers were encouraged to return to locally manufactured cigarette,
which he said, sold at cheaper rate than the imported ones.

The renewed demand for locally manufactured cigarettes, he said, brought
about a resurgence in the company's tobacco growing operation.

He said that the company would invest more than N5 million in agricultural
activities this year.

The chairman said that about 200 job opportunities would be filled in the
company this year in addition to the 100 vacancies filled last year.

Nigeria needs now is not cars put how to get the existing industries resume

importing used cars into the country and that Peugeot Assembly Plant (PAN)

DAVID-WEST DEFENDS MILITARY. GOVERNMENT--The ballot box in terms of democracy
is irrelevant in Nigerian politics. This is the declaration of the Minister
of Petroleum and Energy, Professor Tam David-West, in an interview with the
SUNDAY TIMES. Professor David-West said that there was no single election
in this country that was not rigged. The oil minister said that though

the military government was not elected, there was no coup that had not
been acclaimed. in Nigeria. This, he said, was enough evidence that the
military is relevant in the present Nigerian politics. The decision-making
process in Nigeria, he said, must be based on consultation, rather than
being a one-man decision. However, the decision-making process in the
military administration, Professor David-West said, has been so far democra~
tic unlike the case of the last civilian administration when ballot was
bought’ and legislators bribed to pass pills. Giving examples from his
experience in two different military administrations, Professor David-West
said government memos were thoroughly debated and passed purely on merit
and rejected if they failed’to attract adequate support. The problem of
Nigeria, he said, is. Nigerians themselves and the internalised corruption
which have so far failed us as a nation. [Text] [Lagos SUNDAY TIMES in

REPRESSION OF OBOTE'S OPPOSITION REPORTED
Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE in German 26 Jun 85 p 7

[Text] Nairobi, 25 June. Political and military opposition to the Obote
regime in the East African republic of Uganda continues to grow. The elected
opposition representatives have left the National Assembly sessions in protest
against the government's stance in answering accusations concerning violations
of human rights and terror which have gone on for years in parts of the
country. In an open letter to President Obote, they are demanding information
about the fate of a representative missing since the end of May. At the same
time, Vice President Muwanga announced that the army commander of the western
region of Uganda, Lieutenant Colonel Oboti, had been murdered by rebels in
ambush. The Catholic newspaper MUNNO reports that, northeast of the capital
city of Kampala, five more Ugandan soldiers were killed in another ambush.
For 5 years, the northern, northwestern and northeastern districts around
Kampala have been plagued by acts of violence of various armed bands,
including even the official army. These disturbances had begun even before
former Defense Minister Museveni said, following Obote's assumption of power,
that the 1980 elections had been falsified. After those elections, an
official group of observers from the Commonwealth, in fact, denied that there
were either election falsifications or intimidation of voters, and declared
that the election had taken place acceptably "given the circumstances."

The leading group of rebels, the "National Opposition Army," announced just a
few days ago that it was going to expand its activities into West Uganda, and
was also planning operations in the north, where it has been quiet until now.
They wish to force Obote to deal with the rebel: organizations, which he has,
indeed, always refused to do in the past. The strength of the rebels is
difficult to estimate. The number armed appears to be in the thousands, and
to equal that of the official army. They are finding support among the
civilian population in the south which consists of Bantu peoples, while the
Nilotie north, from which Obote stems, is standing behind the president. The
conflict between Nilotic and Bantu Ugandans is intensified by the fact that
the south was Christianized primarily by French Catholic missionaries and the
north by British Protestants-~Anglicans.

The army is not strong enough to quash the rebels. Instead, it is attempting

to intimidate the civilian population by means of terror and thus prevent its
supporting the rebels. Entire towns have been leveled, broad areas of land

[Answer] That's exactly it. And this traffic involves such large quantities
that I wonder if it is not one of the quasi-official sources of the Ethiopian
state's foreign currency supply. But a distinction should be made on this
point, European food aid which goes through the ONG--nongovernmental organiza-
tions--such as the Red Cross, OXFAM, Caritas Catholica, the Eritrean Relief
Association, etc., does get through and is distributed by these organizations
themselves. They have their own men on the spot who guarantee and oversee the
proper delivery of their aid, I do not say that the system operates without
any ‘abuses at all, but I am convinced that there are very few, Official aid,
on the other hand, ends up quite differently. I am thinking of the aid that
arrives by sea in Eritrean ports controlled by the Ethiopian army, particular-
ly the Massada Port. This aid, therefore, falls directly into the hands of the
Ethiopians, To give you an idea of the amount of international aid involved,
you should know that for 1984 and the first months of 1985 the total came to
7.5 billion Belgian francs, and that only accounts for aid from the European
Economic Community. An equivalent amount.must. be included from the United
States and Canada, As for the aid from the eastern block countries, it is
laughable. Well, I am able to prove that about 60 percent of this official
aid, whatever its source, is diverted by the army to its own advantage, or

to profit the black market, which means that it is actually resold,

[Question] What sort of reception did you get from the European Parliament
when you reported this information to it?

[Answer] Much like that from the Belgian parliament in 1983: the reception
was a more or less general silence. However, we presented a number of elements
of proof, all of them indisputable, Written instructions from senior officers
in the Ethiopian army, films with sound tracks of interviews and statements
etc. We presented all this to the European commissioner, Lorenzo Natali, who
said, moreover, that he was shocked. Then we organized three press confer-
ences, one in Ireland, one in London, and one in Brussels. That was more than
2 months ago. And finally, we concluded our report which is now in the hands
of Natali, who heads the European Conmittee's Cooperation in Development
Department.

[Question] In your opinion, what will happen?

[Answer] That's a difficult question, because the European Community is tied
to Ethiopia by the Lome agreement. ‘And that agreement explicitly states that
there may be no interference in the internal affairs of the countries, The
Eritrean separatist struggle is considered an Ethiopian internal matter, But I
want to point out that the UNO--in 1952--33 years ago, recognized Eritrea's
right to establish its independence 10 years after that date. This means that
since 1962 the sttuggle of the Eritrean people has been perfectly legal ac-
cording to international law. The legitimate aspirations of these people have
been suppressed for decades. First by Mussolini's Italy, then by Haile
Selassie, and today by the administration that holds sole power in Adis
Abiba. In this matter, the USSR suddenly made a complete about-face because
after having supported the Eritrean cause at the UNO, it has now totally
abandoned it. So why do Europe and the United States continue to provide such
massive support for the Ethiopian government? That remains a mystery to me,
and it only gets deeper when I take into account the way in which this

TANZANIA

NEW PAPER MILL STOPPAGES NECESSARY
par es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 29 Jun &5 p 1
{Article by John Waluye]

[vext] Stoppage of trial production at the Southern Paper Mill (SPM) in
Mufindi, Iringa Region, last week was necessary to make adjustments on the
plant.

The Chairman and Managing Director of the National Development Corporation
(NDC), Hdugu Arnold Kilewo, said in Dar es Salaam yesterday that since the
plant was still on trial production such stoppages would continue to be ex-
perienced. ‘rial production at the plant started on May 1, this year.

“Zt is not true that we have suspended production because of machinery break-
down", Ndugu Kilewo said when reacting to reports that the mill had stopped
production because of machinery breakdown. Trial production at the mill
started on May 1, this year.

He said paper machine No. Two was stopped last week to make’ necessary cor—
rections".

Ile explained that trial runs for Machine No. One were successfully made last
Thursday.

Ndugu Kilewo said trial runs would go on until mid August, this year, when
all the mills plants would have been integrated and commissioned.

Ndugu Kilewo pointed out that everything was going on as scheduled and no prob-
lems had been encountered.

The 2.5 billion/- pulp and paper mill, which initially will produce 60,000
tonnes of paper annually, starting with 20,000 tonnes this year, will export
1,400 tonnes of its paper to earn the country foreign exchange.

Production will reach 75,000 tonnes of paper when at full capacity and save

the country 400 million/- which it uses to import 30,000 tonnes of paper
annually.

SOVIET. PEACE DELEGATION CONCLUDES 'VISTT
“Delegation Visits Newspaper Office
Dakar LE SOLEIL in French 12 Jun 85 p 4

[Text] The delegation from the Soviet Committee for the Defense of Peace ar-
rived in our capital last Wednesday and is leaving this evening. Its members
were the guests of LE SOLEIL and attended the editorial meeting at 1700 hours.

V. Zenkiavitchius, minister of foreign affairs of the Lithuanian SSR and head
of the delegation, researcher Gnevuchev, and V. Petrov, the interpreter, were
accompanied by members of the Senegalese Peace Movement and that organiza-
tion's chairman, Deputy Boubacar Seck.

Zenkiavitchius, who was once a journalist himself and has taught journalism at
the university, noted that this visit to LE SOLEIL was completely appropriate
since the effectiveness of the movement for the defense of peace in the world
depends greatly on the press. On the subject of war, he emphasized that the
USSR had had to suffer its effects along with other countries during World
War II, when Nazism caused the death of 20 million Soviets.

The head of the Soviet delegation also recalled that the Constitution of the
USSR is the only one to contain an article urging its citizens to struggle on
behalf of peace. The Soviet Penal Code provides severe punishment for propa-
ganda on behalf of war, hatred among peoples, and any hostile action against
other peoples.

Concerning disarmament, Zenkiavitchius said that the Western press systemati-
cally denigrates the USSR whenever the latter makes a proposal favoring peace.
But the danger of a nuclear war is not simply fiction. It is a very real
threat, because in the negotiations concerning a halt to the arms race, it is
the other side that is now seeking supremacy over the USSR in the field of weap-
ons. For its part, the USSR has proposed the elimination of nuclear arsenals.

Deputy Boubacar Seck, chairman of the Senegalese Peace Movement, emphasized for
his part that peace committees exist in many countries. The Senegalese move-
ment has been eager to maintain special relations with the Soviet committee be-
cause the Soviet people are enamored of peace and justice. They proved it by
combating Hitler's fascism.

"We hope that other private operators will take advantage of the training
school once it is opened. ‘he school will be managed by professional safari
operators," Mr Freed said.

Zambia had the basic tourist infrastructure but what was needed was top class
safari lodges operating under efficient management.

“This has got to be the criterion because we are competing with other countries
who are prepared to put their money into the industry. It is one thing we can
set up because we have the expertise within Zambia to be professional about
it."

Circuit Holdings had already upgraded Kasaba and Nkamba bay lodges which were
open to tourists.

But Mr Freed warned that efforts to develop and boost tourism would be wasted
if the increasing incidences of poaching were left unchecked.

"tt should be made clear to all that without animals there would be no tourism
and without tourism there would be no foreign exchange.”

He called on the Party and its Government, the Department of National Parks
and Wildlife, and other relevant agencies to pool their resources to fight
poaching.

‘ SOUTH AFRICA

RELATIONS WITH NEIGHBORS SEEN AS KEY TO INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION

Pretoria BEELD in Afrikaans 13 Jun 85 p 18
[Commentary by Piet Muller: "We Are Sending Conflicting Signals Abroad"]

[Text] What are the objectives of South Africa's foreign policy? Do
we have a clearly defined general policy that serves as a guideline for
our relations with our neighbor states?

These kinds of questions are being raised again especially after the
incident in Cabinda. Few events have illustrated so clearly what the
relationship is between our neighbors' feelings about us and the feeling
about us that is flaring up in the international community: the more
insecure our neighbors feel, the greater the outcry against us.

In addition to that, one cannot dismiss the feeling that there are two
irreconcilable premises underlying our foreign policy which are jostling
for priority in high offices in Pretoria. :

Code Word

The one approach can be described as the spirit of Nkomati. It can be
summed up as the belief that South Africa's path to international recog-
nition runs through Africa; that the key to our security is good relations
with our near neighbors; and that our economic fate is inextricably

bound together with theirs, even if we don't agree with one another's way
of doing things.

The code word for this approach is "normal relations." History has thrown
us together in South Africa and is the reason why each of us needs the
other for its own well-being. Our neighbors need our railroads and we
need their harbors; a disease like malaria must be fought across our ~ *
borders; and what one lacks in minerals, the other can supply.

The basis for this point of view is the belief that South Africa's path
to recognition runs through Africa, and that it has a natural leadership
role to play. South Africa's interests are first and foremost Africa's
interests and not Western interests, and the Afrikaners’ unique position
as "Africa's first freedom fighters" makes South Africa a natural’ leader

on the continent.

: ehildren's camp approximately 15 kilometers from the camp southeast of the

Angolan capital of Luanda; other children are taken abroad, primarily to Cuba.
The children are reportedly educated politically in the spirit of SWAPO.
Persons who are not of Ovambo origin (they make up approximately half of the
total population and SWAPO's membership and support base) are "systematically
discriminated against and eliminated."

Witnesses accuse SWAPO of falsifying the official refugee count--there are
said to be at most 35,000 Namibian refugees in Angola, but SWAPO reports
100,000 in order to receive increased financial assistance. SWAPO officials
in Luanda and Lubango are living the high life, profiting from the black
market. The introduction of the IGFM report gives information about rumors
and reports of a large number of victims of purges within SWAPO. After a
disagreement between SWAPO President Nujoma and one of the SWAPO founders,
Shipanga (who has been a minister now in the interim government in Windhoek
for more than a week), almost 2,000 SWAPO members were reportedly arrested in
Zambia with the help of the Zambia army and approximately 1,000 of them were
earried off to Angola; previous reports have always stated that these
dissidents had been taken to Tanzania. As with victims of earlier "clean-
ups"--nothing has been heard of them since.’ In the push war in the north of
South-West Africa, going on now for almost 20 years, 12 to 15 thousand people
are said to have been killed so far. Moreover, the war is costing almost DM
700 million per year, according to information received a few days ago from
the commander of the South African army in Namibia, Major General Meiring.

The reports compiled in the IGFM document have already been partially
published in the daily newspaper WINDHOEK OBSERVER appearing in Windhoek.
Since SWAPO and the Namibian council of churches have not responded to the
accusations, the idea of asking the International Committee of the Red Cross
to investigate the accusations is apparently being eonsidered in South-West
Africa. State minister Moellmann recently replied to a representative's
question in the National Assembly that there was no confirmation of the
existence of SWAPO prisons in Zambia and Angola; even the United States has no
information about them. During a visit a year ago to the Nyango refugee camp
in Zambia, claimed to be the location of a prison, employees of Bonn's embassy
in Lusaka reportedly found no buildings or structures serving as prisons; but
if the reports of SWAPO prisons are confirmed, according to the state minister
in the foreign office, the federal government would commit itself to the
freeing of the prisoners.

Meanwhile the power center of the English speaking world has shifted from
Britain to America, said Mr Marais. The British historian, Arnold Toynbee,
stated that American imperialism is practiced through linking up with rich
minorities. An example of this is the number of South African businessmen who
attended a secret meeting in Britain a few months ago to consider tougher
action according to American instructions. They were Messrs Basil Hersov, Tony
Bloom, Murray Hofmeyr and Jan Steyn. .

"Those are the people who are going to conspire behind closed doors against the
white community in South Africa."

Mr Marais commented that the American influence has a divisive impact among
Afrikaners. Exchange programs, such as the one run by USSALEP. [United States-
South Africa Leadership Exchange Program], result in the fact that Afrikaners
who go to the United States find their political and economic institutions
attacked and their traditions scorned. Some of those South Africans return
with a sense of guilt and later cooperate with the Americans. "In this way,
our natural unity is broken down and a part of our people later form a faction
of their own. They stimulate differences of opinion and incite the distur-
bances to make us afraid of the future," said Mr Marais.

A lot of Ugandans have been murdered by thugs, the likes of Sokolo and Babu.
These few elements have alienated the army from other members of the Ugandan
society. These people have created hatred, they have sown seeds of blood

letting which today are threatening to destroy this once beautiful country.

The UPC leadership claims it is leading this country. The abduction of
Sebastian Ssebuggwawo at the hands of known gangsters should serve as a
moment of reflection for them. Where are they leading this country?
Uganda's soil is saturated with blood of Ugandans killed needlessly; the
countryside is littered with skelctons of the young and the old; and almost
everyday heaps of dead bodies are sighted in various places throughout the
country. What type of vanity can lead, men claiming to be leaders to dis-
regard the basic clements of human decency and propel them on a course that
can only end in disaster?

For far too long we have been imploring the powers that are to stop their
agents from committing crimes against the people of this country. Today we
repeat the plea and add: if despite the availability of evidence the govern-
ment fails to act, if it does not apprehend the known culprits, it will not
be guilty of only the murder of Ssebuggwawo, but also of those who will sub-
sequently be murdered by these thugs.

of trade, but to a large extent also to a sharply reduced influx of
capital from abroad. The Marampa iron-ore mine and the extraction of
diamonds by strip mining are largely exhausted. Sierra Leone has already
had to make agreements for refinancing its debts with various countries
and sometimes more than once.

Just a few weeks ago, Freetown devalued its currency, the Leone, by 58.33
percent. Minister of Finance Conteh characterized the new external value
as "realistic." In order to dampen the effects on the cost of living for
the roughly 3.7 million inhabitants of the country, wages and salaries
were adjusted at the same time. Sierra Leone had long balked at the
devaluation suggested by the International Monetary Fund because it

was afraid of social unrest. There are reports from Freetown of not
insubstantial discontent, a very high degree of mismanagement and alleged
corruption; many observers are no longer ruling out that it may come to
a change in regime. A few days ago, the Parliament in Freetown passed a
law that the President will be elected directly by » the people in the
future. In the next few weeks, it will be decided who might eventually
succeed 79-year-old State President Siaka Stevens at the end of the year.

. MILITARY TO ADOPT QUOTA SYSTEM IN ACADEMY RECRUITMENT

Kaduna SUNDAY NEW NIGERIAN in English 23 Jun 85 pl

[Article by Emman Udoka]

[Text]

SELECTION of cadets
for admission into
Nigeria’s premier
‘military university,
scheduled to take off
in Kaduna next Sep-
tember, would be
handled by a Selec-
tion Board on quota
basis.

The Head of State, Major
General Muhammadu
Buhari, said this yesterday
at the passing out parade
of ‘Army, Air Force and
Waval cadets at the
Wigerian Defence
Academy, NDA, Kaduna.

He said that admission into
the military university would
reflect the federal character
of the Armed Forces, in order
{o give citizens of every state.
cf the federation’a chance in
the institution.

General Buhari was happy
to hear that a new provost has
assumed duty and was doing

cso: 3400/645

“everything possible” for a
successful take-off of the
university in September.

He gave the assurance that
the Federal Military Govern-
‘nent would support the
university, within the limits of
available financial resources,
to achieve its objectives.

In a brief review of his ad-
munistration’s stewardship in
the past 18 months, Gen.
Buhari expressed satisfaction
that efforts to make discipline
.“a way of life” in the country
had yielded “positive results.”

He urged the outgoing
cadets to conduct themselves
in accordance with the prin-
ciples of the War Against In-
discipline, which include self-
reliance, sacrifice, probity,
accountability and loyalty to
the nation.

The Defence Industries
Corporation (DIC), he
said, was being expanded
and reorganised in line
with his administration's
commitment to raw materi-
als development in order
to locally maintain equip-
ment and sustain indus-
tries.

33

He expressed the hope that
this would ensure optimum
utilisation of the nation’s
resources, including the ex-
isting stock of arms and
ammunition. .

General Buhari commended
the award winners among the
passing out cadets and im-
plored them to ‘‘put your duty
and honour above your per-

sonal interests.

Among the award winners
was Cadet 0.0. Adeleke, who
won the Academy’s “Sword of
Honour” as the best all round
cadet in academics, service
subjects and personal
qualities.

Dignitaries at the ceremony ‘
included the Minister of
Defence, Major General
Domkat Bali, the Chief of
Naval Staff, Rear Admiral
Augustus Aikhomu, the
Inspector-General of Police,
Mr. Etim Inyang and the

governors of Plateau,
Niger, Gongola and
Kano states.



But hardest hit by the downturn of Zambia's economy were the exchange of goods
and investment cooperation.

The result has been decline in trade. Yugoslavia has seen a growing trade
deficit. Yugoslav processing industries have been importing large quantities
of copper from Zambia paid for in the United States dollar.

Whereas copper imports from Zambia have been increasing Yugoslav exporters
especially since 1980 have not been very keen on the Zambian market arguing
that Zambia was unable to repay debts owed to Yugoslav companies.

"Imports were covered by exports to the tune of 35 per cent. Yugoslav exports
to Zambia exceeded imports from that country in 1970 only,” says a briefing
document from Yugoslavia on relation between Yugoslavia and Zambia, between
1976 and 1983.

The document adds: ‘Since then there has been a constant deficit on the
Yugoslav side. The deficit reached a record level in 1981 when Yugoslav ex-
ports to Zambia amounted to 7.8 million US dollars and imports from that
country to 64.9 million US dollars. Yugoslav exports to Zambia reached the
highest level in 1979 when they amounted to 18.5 million US dollars. Exports
have declined since then, falling, in 1983 to a mere 2.4 million US dollars."

To try and balance the Yugoslavs have suggested Zambia's products, that is
copper, lead, zinc, cobalt and cotton be bartered with Yugoslav products, al-
though nothing concrete has come out of the suggestion.

Worried about the decline in volume of trade the Yugoslav trade experts have
shown further worry in the "narrowing of the assortment of imported and export-
ed goods" between Zambia and Yugoslavia.

Zambia exported to Yugoslavia on the whole copper which accounts for 90 per
cent of exports to that country, lead and zinc. Yugoslav's processing indus--
tries' demands for these products increased but they began reducing imports
in 1983 as the Yugoslav organisations failed to pay in foreign exchange for
imports.

Thus Yugoslavia like Zambia began faltering on making payments in foreign ex-
change.

Trucks

Zambia imported from that country largely trucks and buses (one doesn't forget
the Dubrava buses), equipment for transmission lines, transformer stations,
generators, chemical and pharmaceutical products; and since 1976 furniture,
household appliances and consumer goods in small quantities.

At the start of economic cooperation RUDNAP=ZAMBIA Ltd founded by FAP-FAMOS ,
UTVA and RUDNAP was a transport enterprise selling Yugoslav economic vehicles
in Zambia. About 630 automobiles, 510 trucks, 84 fire engines and 200 trail-
ers were sold in the country up until 1983.

ACTIVITES OF YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS NOTED
MDJ Supports Students, Workers

Dakar FAGARU in French Jun 85 p 15

[Excerpt] The mission of the Young Democratic Movement [MDJ], ever since its
creation, has béen to work for the unity of youth in our country.

For the MDJ this unity slogan, proudly enunciated at the time of the National
Constitutional Congress, is not just words or a profession of faith; it
corresponds to a commitment flowing from a necessity imposed by history and by
the unorganized state of youth in Senegal.

That is why the MDJ, fully embracing this option, is devoting all its efforts
and mobilizing all its organizational capabilities toward realization of this
central objective. At the national level, by agreeing to work together and
cooperate closely with CNS/AIJ [expansion unknown], the MDJ has given
spectacular proof that its openness to dialogue and cooperation with all the
youth of our country is not limited by any sectarianism or dogmatism, so long
as democratic principles are respected.

At that level, its very well-organized and highly applauded contribution to the
round-table held. by the Thies Decorative Arts Manufacturers at the Dynamic
Museum on 27 April (the day for observances of political party youth movenents )
was a sign that the young people of our country identify with the draft charter
presented by. the MDJ.

Similarly, the MDJ has militantly and actively supported the just struggle of
the students for respect of university rights, by sending an open letter. to the
rector and the administrative authorities of the University of Dakar in the
wake of infringements of university rights. :

Also, the MDJ has given unfailing support to the heroic struggle of the health
workers and social workers of SUTSAS [expansion unknown], because young people
are maintaining solidarity with all the struggles of the Senegalese people.

In addition to the draft charter, the MDJ very sincerely believes that
preparations for the 12th FMJE [as printed] [World Federation of Democratic
Youth?] can be a potent means of mobilizing the youth of Senegal. That is why,
both within the CSPF [expansion unknown] and in its own activities, the MDJ is
working to popularize the ideas of the Festival and to insure broad, unified

« bhe end of 1984, warehouse stocks amounted to 131,000 tons of sugar out of a
year's production (1984) of 156,000 tons.

According to preliminary reports, in 1984 tobacco exports rose in value to
193.8 million kwacha (1.796 kwacha = $1 since the latest devaluation of the
kwacha in spring 1985) compared to 136.7 million kwacha in 1982. In the
1983/84 (1982/83) crop year, 1,970 (904) tons of air and sun cured tobacco as
well as 16,788 (11,255) tons of fire cured tobacco were produced by African
small farms. In 1983/84 (1982/83), tobacco plantations generated 14,173
(21,658) tons of flue cured tobacco and 24,165 (41,536) tons of burley
tobacco.

Tobacco marketing takes place by auction in Limbe and in the capital city of
Lilongwe. The auction facilities in Limbe are currently being modernized and
expanded at a cost of 1.25 million kwacha. Electronically controlled scales
are being installed, and the storage capacity of the warehouse is being
doubled. In 1984, BAT (Malawi) Ltd. contracted modernization investments for
its cigarette factory in Blantyre, which required an expenditure of 2 million
kwacha.

The value of tea exports for 1984 is reported to be 112.5 million kwacha
compared to 55.9 million kwacha the previous year and 45.3 million kwacha in
1982. In 1984, tea production rose to 37,500 tons, 17 percent more than in
1983. A record production of 38,500 tons was achieved in 1982. In 1983, the
tea plantations of the British company Lonrho Ltd. of London, active in Malawi
since 1962, reached their best production results so far with 4,800 tons.

In March 1985, the European Investment Bank (EIB) of Luxembourg guaranteed a
loan of 4.5 million ecu (1 ecu ‘= approximately DM 2.23) to be used by the
Kavuzi Tea Company Ltd. for the establishment of a tea processing operation
and a macadamia nut shelling facility in Kavuzi in the northern part of the
country. It is likely that Great. Britain and the Netherlands will also
participate in the financing of the project, which also includes the
development and management of the tea plantation and will cost about 10
million ecu. The project is expected to be finished by December 1988.
Marketing of Malawian tea takes: place in auctions in Limbe and, to a
constantly decreasing extent, in London.

In December 1984, the EIB granted a loan of 3.5 million ecu for strengthening
the capital basis of the Dwanga Sugar Corporation Ltd. (Dwanga) in Limbe which
has established the country's second sugar complex in the Dwangwa River delta.
The Deutsche Finazierungsgesellischaft fuer Beteiligungen in
Entwicklungslaendern GmbH [German Financial Society for Participation in
Developing Countries] (DEG) of Cologne has committed itself to this enterprise
with a participation of DM 2.6 million in the company's capital and a share
matching loan of DM 5 million. The aforementioned Lonrho Ltd. is a partner
with a 32 percent share. Other shareholders are the national Agricultural
Development and Marketing Corporation of Malawi (Admare) of Limbe and Press
(Holding) Ltd. of Blantyre.: In 1984, Dwanga produced 66,553 tons of sugar
compared to 71,956 tons the previous year for the domestic market and for
export. : :

UGANDA

COMMENTARY ON ABDUCTION OF SSEBUGGWAWO
Kampala NUNNANSI in English 17 Jun 85 p 7
{Commentary: "Is Government Abetting Crime?"}

[Text] Since 1980 when the UPC assumed power, hundreds of very prominent
Ugandans and thousands of less known citizens of this country have been
killed in cold~blood or otherwise have just "disappeared." In no case has
government come out with any plausible explanation or even put its investi-
gative machinery into motion. As a result heineous crimes have continued to
be committed, in most cases, by known government agents who are subsequently
praised or even promoted.

The recent abduction and possible murder of an opposition member of parlia~
ment, Hon. S. Ssebuggwawo, has brought to surface the government's callous
attitude towards the people it is supposed to protect. The circumstances
surrounding his abduction strongly suggest that the crime was committed by
government agents; in this case members of the military who are known to have
committed similar atrocious crimes against the citizens of this country during
the last four years. One of them Sgt. Major Sokolo is reputed to have murder-
ed hundreds of people in Mpigi district alone. This army sergeant has com-
mitted all these crimes under the ‘watchful' eye of the UPC government.

llon. Sebastian Ssebuggwawo was abducted at around 5,30 p.m, at Buyala, near
river Mayanja 14 miles on Kampala/Mityana road, Eyewitnesses saw Captain
Babu's white army Landrover V-8 parked in the middle of the road to form a
make-shift roadblock while Sgt. Major Sokolo's white Mazda pick-up No UWR
995 sporting its full lights pulled up behind the vehicle in which the MP
was travelling. lion Ssebuggwawo was travelling with a white Toyota minibus
reg. No UXE 158 belonging to Uganda Co-operative Savings & Credit Union, The
driver of the vehicle, Edward Mulengera, and an accountant Steven Kabanda
who was in the same vehicle have disappeared and they too may shave shared the
fate of the MP.

But for the fact that the MP, when he was being led to be slaughtered by
Sokolo and Captain Babu's thugs, managed to shout to passers: by that, ‘I am
MP for Mubende West these people are going to murder me,' his abduction would
have joined countless such incidents in which thousands of Ugandans have
simply disappeared, But this is not the only piece ov evidence that the

NIGERIA

NEW NIGERIAN DECRIES AIRPORT SECURITY

Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 1 Jul 85 p 1

[Editorial]

[Text]

LATEST reports have
it that certain concern-
ed members of the se-
curity organisation at
the Murtala Airport,
Lagos have lodged a
strong complaint with the
authorities over activi-
ties of their colleagues,
who load and off-load
smuggled luggage from
aircraft. at the tarmac.

Also, at the Aminu
Kano International Air-
port, some luggage
regularly find their way
through lateral pedes-
trian access to the load-
ing trolleys, thereby cir-
cumventing security
procedures. Thanks to
so-called security
agents.

Reports such as these
coming from our airports
hold serious implica-
tions for the security. of
this nation. Last week,
at a seminar organised
for security personnel

cso: 3400/645

by the Directorate of
the Military Intelligence,
Internal Affairs Minister
General Magoro had
id that lack of security
consciousness by mem-
bers of security organi-
sations could help our
enemies subvert the na-
tion. The question thus
is. not only one of in-
tegrity among security
personnel, but of alert-

ness.

The joint airport se-
curity ‘efforts by per-
sonnel from the army,
customs, NSO and im-
migration seem no
doubt to work fairly bet-
ter than previous arran-
gements. But as it is,
there is no question
that a lot more vigilan-
‘ce is called for at the air-
Ports, and the many little
nooks and crannies
through which illegal
items enter and leave
the country.

40

Also, there have been
* persistent allegations
that some persons are
able to beat security by
driving to the tarmac
for embarkation. These
are people obviously
abusing privileges.
They must be identified
and checked. Official
cars must always go
through security checks
if for any reason they
must carry dignitaries
to the tarmac. The num-
ber and types of vehi-
cles that can be allow-
ed access to the tar-
macs at all should
henceforth be limited.
The current war on
foreign-travel oriented
crimes calls for close
vigilance at our bor-
ders. That’s the only
way we could benefit
from the closure of our
borders.

SIERRA LEONE

FRG USES DEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO CANCEL DEBT

Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG/BLICK DURCH DIE WIRTSCHAFT in German
22 Apr 85 p 2

[Article: "Bonn Cancels Sierra Leone Debts. Drastic Increase in the’
Balance of Payments Deficit the Reason for Delays in Payment"] .

[Text] Hamburg--Bonn has used credits from development aid to release the :
west African republic of Sierra Leone from its debts. In doing so, as the
Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation reported, the Federal Republic

is waiving the repayment of DM 139 million plus interest. The two countries
have signed an agreement in Freetown whereby loans of financial cooperation
effective 30 June 1983 are converted to subsidies, and repayments and interest
falling due after this date are cancelled. Sierra Leone is thus the
twenty-second country among the world's least developed countries that

Bonn has released from its debts.

Shortly before this, Sierra Leone had commissioned the English bank Samuel
Montagu to draw up an inventory of its foreign debts by the summer. Within
the framework of this commission, the banking house is to compile Sierra
Leone's debts, public as well as private, insured and uninsured, to foreign
creditors and advise Freetown how the delays in transfer can be reduced,
Also within the framework of this commission, as the Afrika-Verein in
Hamburg reports, the officials of the central bank in Freetown are to be
trained in debt management. Private German creditors have uncovered claims
against Sierra Leone, with overdue payments, totalling DM 13.6 million.
This was the finding of an unpublished, recently completed survey of German
firms by the Afrika-Verein. In these cases, the debtors have paid for
imported goods or services in local currency at the central bank in
Freetown, but the bank has not forwarded the payment because of a lack

of foreign currency.

Delays in payments ("pipelines") to foreign creditors are frequent and are
due to Sierra Leone's continually increasing balance of payments deficit.
Since 1963, the foreign trade balance of this country, which is highly
dependent on foreign trade (chief export products are minerals, especially
diamonds, and agricultural products), has been negative. The drastic
increase in the deficit is due not only to the negative trend in the balance

SOUTH AFRICA

FOUNDATION FOR RURAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HELPS FARM WORKERS
Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 5 Jun 85 p ll

[Article by Louis Wessels: "'Quiet Revolution' on Farms Thanks to
Foundation" ]

[Text] The approximately 1.3 million farm workers
in South Africa are to a great extent "an invisible
group and an ignored community." Nonetheless they
and their families make up approximately one-sixth
of our total population. It has become an urgent
necessity to train and socially uplift these
people. The Foundation for Rural Community
Development has taken that task upon itself and it
has already achieved exciting successes. Louis
Wessels went to talk to the people in charge of the
Foundation about what they have in mind, and how
they are going about improving the living standards
of farm workers nationwide. In this article, the
first of a series, the spotlight falls on the
establishment of the Foundation and the "quiet
revolution" that grew from a modest attempt to
create a sense of human worth and pride among farm
workers.

The work of uplifting farm workers in South Africa began very quietly in
the Western Cape. An enthusiastic little group of students at the
University of Stellenbosch, who had done evangelical work among the farm
workers, took the lead.

Today, 12 years later, there is talk of "the quiet revolution" that has
taken place among the farm workers of the Western Cape, and much further
afield, since the establishment of the Foundation for Rural Community
Development 2 years ago.

Troublemaking

"In those days the students went to the farms on Sundays armed only with
Bible texts,” says Mr Ockie Bosman, a fully trained clergyman, who was

SOUTH AFRICA

AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY CONCERNED ABOUT HEUNIS' POLICIES

Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 5 Jun 85 p 3

[Text] Mr Chris Heunis's Department of Political Development has doubts about
the need for rural development.

At a recent symposium dealing with the depopulation of rural districts,
Dr H.P. Fourie, the chief director of Social Planning of the Department of
Political Development, seriously questioned the efforts for rural development.

He asked whether it makes any sense to further develop rural areas in view of
the fact that at most 22 percent of the white population is now residing in
rural areas and that further urbanization is a future certainty.

Seen exclusively in terms of population and culture, he questioned the present
contributions to the totality of Afrikaner culture on the part of rural dwel-
lers. Dr Fourie asked: What is being done with respect to the development,
establishment and expansion of the “new urban Afrikaner culture now that the
bulk of Afrikaner culture has shifted to the cities?

He also asked: If we accept the fact that we already have a second and third
generation of urban Afrikaners is it not perhaps just a nostalgic desire for
personal childhood days, which are already gone, to worry about the rural
cultural heritage of the Afrikaner?

A spokesman of the South African Agricultural Union told DIE AFRIKANER that the
union is working on a comprehensive report on rural development for the Nation-
al Districts Development Advisory Board. The’ report will contain the‘ submis—
sions by all the district development advisory boards. The completed report

is expected to be presented to the Cabinet through the good offices of Mr
Heunis's department.

He said that it would be strange if the department rejects the report even
before it is submitted.

Mr Daan Bosman, chairman of the Institute for Rural Culture, reacted to Dr

Fourie's statements by saying that the Boer's culture is not a thing of yester-
day or of the day before ... like the "new" culture of the city. It has roots
that reach back to the years when the Afrikaner nation came into being, but are

J.V.: For the time being, the U.S. government has made no decision. We
believe that at this point, this is purely an internal U.S. affair.

I.0.N.: Are you in a position to confirm that the Soviet Union and Cuba have
recently withdrawn some of their military advisers? Does Moscow hold the

Nkomati accord against you?
J.V.: These reports are false. In any case our relations with the
Soviet Union are good. The Soviet government has not officially
criticized the accord. If it has done so in private conversations, we
are not aware of this. The bulk of our arms is still supplied by the
Soviet Union as well as by China.

Mister minister, would you agree to recognize this movement as a political

force in Mozambique?

I.0.Ne: Yet the Mozambican army kills dozens of guerrillas every week and there ©

are always more of them...

J.V.: In the areas where they operate, they are unpopular. In places
where the peasants have been given the means to fight, they have
hunted them down. There are only a few isolated areas where some

of the peasants live with them, notably in Manica and Sofala
provinces, at. Gorongosa, their stronghold. In fact, the MNR draws its
strength from the sophistication of its communications system, which
is of much higher quality than that of our army. Many experts ~- South
African and Portuguese - work for the rebels. What is more, their
commanders know the geography of the country well and know how to use
it to their advantage. This is why we are seeking help in the field of
communications. Everyone wants to sell us equipment, but to buy it, we
must obtain credits.

1.0.N.: Where does the MNR_ get its foreign support?

J.V.: Its constant, unwavering support ever since the early days has
come from former Portuguese colonists who have interests in Mozambique
or in other Portuguese-speaking countries. For limited periods and
because of temporary interests, assistance has come from elsewhere,
notably from Pretoria. Today, the rebels continue to’ receive ‘support:
from elements in neighboring countries, such as South Africa and ;
Malawi. As for the Comoros, a delegation went to Moroni to provide
proof that there is backing coming to the rebels from the. archipelago. °
A number of small craft have. been found abandoned along the coast in
Nampula province. They had certainly been used to transport men and
equipment. The government of the Comoros denied furnishing any aid to
the rebels, but acknowledged that its patrolling of its coasts was
inadequate and promised to redouble its surveillance. :

1.0.N.: The signing of the Nkomati accord has not allowed the Frelimo
government to finish off the Mozambique Resistance Movement. What _do_ you plan
to do now? * . .

ZAMBIA

HISTORY, STATUS OF YUGOSLAVIAN COOPERATION

Lusaka ZAMBIA DAILY MAIL in English 3 Jul 85 p 4
[Article by Francis Mwanza]

[Text] Until 1981 Zambia was Yugoslavia's most important economic partner in
sub-Saharan Africa and Yugoslavia became synonymous with Zambia's construction
programmes.

Through construction companies and consultants such as ZECCO, ENERGOPROJERTS ,
UNICO and PARTIZANSKI to mention but a few, Yugoslavia made her stamp on
Zambian construction projects.

Due to current economic recession the profile of this economic cooperation
between the two countries took a low key.

“These times are hard. tard for Zambia and hard for Yugoslavia," said Mr
Mito Lambeski, Charge d'Affaires at the Lusaka Yugoslav embassy as he ex-
plained how the world economic crisis has adversely affected the two countries.

‘the arrival in the country today of the Yugoslav President Mr Radovan Vlaj-
kovic at the invitation of President Kaunda is seen in many diplomatic circles
as a bid to rekindle the economic cooperation between the two countries.

Economic

Presently Yugoslavia is said to be preparing measures to stimulate an all-
embracing economic cooperation with developing countries throughout the world.

A long-term strategy of Yugoslavia's cooperation with developing countries up
to 1990 is due to be adopted soon by the Yugoslav assembly.

Over the years and especially so since 1981 Zambia has had a fair share of
economic constraints which have hampered what was once a thriving economic
cooperation.

Because of the great economic difficulties which rose with the high oil prices
and low copper prices Zambia began faltering on repayments of debts to both
foreign organizations and governments. She failed to pay back debts to Yugo~
slav work organisations for capital construction until 1980.

In Cameroon, the Societe Hevea Cameroun (Hevecam), Douala, is expanding its
cultivation area and processing plants with international aid. The European

* Investment Bank (EIB), Luxembourg, granted in the fall of 1984 a loan of

Ecu 13.4 million (1 Ecu = about DM 2.23) for partial financing of the third
phase of an investment program. It consists in expanding the 13,000 hectares
of arable area planted so far by 1,600 additional hectares. The daily capacity
of the latex processing plant and the coagulate processing installation is to
be enlarged to 64 tons and 32 tons, respectively. The total third phase, to be
concluded by 1989, requires a capital expenditure of Ecu 101.5 million. The
financing is also carried out by the World Bank, the British Commonwealth
Development Corporation (cDC) and the French Caisse Centrale de Cooperation
Economique (CCCE). The Hevecam rubber plantation is located south of Kribi.

In Cameroon, the Cameroon Development Corporation (Camdev), Jaunde, also
engages in rubber production; the plantation enterprise also produces palm oil,
bananas, tea, pepper, and other agricultural products. By the end of

June 1983, the agricultural area for rubber cultivation had increased to 19,372
hectares. Camdev is. planning construction -of a processing plant for latex at
Mbonge in ‘the’ region of Kumba. The expansion investments of Camdev are
financed with funds from the World Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB),
the Caisse Centrale de Cooperation Economique (CCCE), and the country's
government.

In January 1985, the project of the Societe de Developement de 1'Hevea-culture
(Hevegab) was officially taken up in Gabon. This concerns development of a
rubber plantation of 3,300 hectares by 1990, whose annual production will be
about 7,000 tons of latex. Hevegab employs about 5,400 workers at present,

87 percent of whom’ are from Gabon. An extension of the plantation area to
28,000 hectares ‘in Gabon is being projected for later on. Rubber cultivation
is also: to be carried out by small farmers in Oyem and Bitam.

Planning and consulting tasks were assumed by the French enterprise Societe des
Terres Rouges, which is already involved in Cameroon with Hevecam. - The Gabon
government and the aforementioned CCCE participate with 36 percent each in the
financing of the. project which requires capital expenditure of about 15 billion
CFA francs (100 CFA francs equals about 2M 0.65). The African Development
Bank, Abidjan (Ivory Coast), granted a loan of 2.7 billion CFA francs. In
addition, the European Development Fund made available 1 billion CFA francs.

Inthe People's Republic of the Congo, the agriculture ministry is projecting
the development of a rubber plantation of 3,000 hectares in N'Tokou which is to
be concluded by 1989. Also planned is the construction of a latex processing
plant. In December 1984, a financing application for this project was
submitted to the African Development Bank. A credit of about 15 million units
of account (1 UA = about $ 1.07) is expected from that institution.

In'the Central African Republic the construction of.a latex-processing plant is
projected within the framework of the coming 5-year plan (1986 to 1990). The
Goéiete de Plantations d'Heveas et de Cafeiers has already developed a rubber
plantation of about 1,250-hectares in this country, with a processing plant
located in Loko-Safa.

e Possibilities opened _up by Songo Songo gas

Discovered in 1983, the natural gas deposits at_Songo Songo, 250 kilometers
southeast of Dar es Salaam, contain proven reserves of 725 billion cubic feet
and probable reserves of as much as one trillion cubic feet. A number of wells
have been drilled since 1977, which are in bad shape today with such problems
as corrosion, cracks, etc. Some of these are to be repaired soon. While the
Songo Songo field is not big enough to warrant the construction of a
liquefication plant, it may soon be used to make fertilizer. In 1981, TPDC
reached agreement with Agrico, part of the U.S.-based Williams group, for the
construction at Kilwa of Kilamco, a factory with the capacity to. make 1,150
tons of ammonia a day and 1,725 tons of urea, 10 times the requirement of _the
Tanzanian domestic market. However, the hefty cost of the project - 500 million
dollars - helps explain why it hasn't gotten off the drawing board. The
Tanzanian government has asked Agrico to cut back its estimate and is looking
for foreign investors for the plant.

Several studies have shown recently that even if Tanzania experiences no
economic growth at all, the country would be well advised to substitute Songo
Songo gas for some of its etroleum consumption and to plan for a pipeline
between the offshore field and Dar es Salaam. But the Tanzanian authorities are
reluctant about undertaking such a project, which could, in the short term,
deprive them of crude deliveries under preferential terms. Still, certain
business circles and the World Bank_seem anxious to get the project under way.
According to the experts, industries operating around Dar es Salaam
use an average of 75,000 tons of oil a year in recessionary periods, or the
equivalent of 3.1 billion cubic feet of gas. Use of gas instead of oil would
allow Tanzania to_save more than 10 million dollars a year. In addition, the
experts predict that Tanzania's demand for electric power will overtake
existing generating capacity in 1992 if the economy grows at 3 per cent per
year, and in 1998 if the economy stagnates. A Canadian firm, Accres, is soon to
hand over to the Tanzanian government a report on Tanzania's future electrical
needs. A British company, Engineering and Power Development Consultants is
simultaneously preparing a study on possibilities for converting Tanzania's
only fuel-burning power station, the Ubungo station in Dar es Salaam, to burn
gas.

@ 0i1 prospecting proceeds at a rapid clip

In an effort to attract the international oil companies, Tanzania in 1980
adopted a law, the Petroleum Exploration and Production Act, that offers

SSEMOGERERE WARNS AGAINST TAMPERING WITH POLLS
Kampala MUNNANSI in English 17 Jun 85 p 2

[Text] 1f Uganda's next general elections are rigged, many more Ugandans
will lose patience and there will be an escalation of violence, the Demo-
cratic Party Leader lon Paul K Ssemogerere has warned, Speaking before a
large gathering of Ugandans in London last Sunday (9-6-85) he said that if
the elections are interfered with or if they are not held all Ugandans and
everybody with interests in this county are bound to suffer even more. 'I
can foresee a situation of terrible frustration where violence will escal-
ate if the will of the people is tampered with,' Mr. Ssemogerere said,
adding that the international community would continue to suffer by should-
ering the burden of looking after the growing number of Ugandan refugees as
well as Uganda's massive debts.

Hon Ssemogere who is also the leader of the opposition has been touring
Western Europe and has called upon all Uganda's international friends to in-
terest themselves in Uganda's case so as to ensure peace and stability in
this country. He said that it would be a tragedy if industrialised countries
do not encourage democracy in developing countries. Citing Iran, Nicaragua,
Ethiopia and Vietnam as examples, Ssemogere reiterated that the attitude of
developed countries towards third world countries is self-defeating. He
recalled that during Amin's days the question that the international com-
munity kept asking was, ‘who next? But, he went on, “If the British govern—
ment fell out of favor, there would be new elections - They would not ask
“who next"? He emphasized that for lasting peace and meaningful development
to take place in third world countries democracy has to be promoted in these
countries.

The leader of the opposition called upon Britain to interest herself in the
holding of free and fair elections in Uganda. To date, he said 'I have no
evidence that the British government has interested itself in the promotion
of democracy in Uganda.

Mr. Ssemogerere castigated the UPC leadership and said that it was leading
the country to destruction, In 1982, he added, many more Ugandans were being
killed than at any other time in the history of Uganda. The number of people
killed during the last four years far exceeds the number of people killed
during the entire period of Amin's 8-years rule, Ssemogerere charged, adding
that thousands of Ugandans have been displaced and forced to live as refugees

POLITICAL MATURITY, RECONCILIATION URGED
Kampala FOCUS in English 25 Jun 85 p 2
[Editorial]

[vext] Besides "Murder and terror of the 1970's" another phrase which has
become common in Uganda's daily political vocabulary is ‘Reconciliation and
no Revenge’.

But just as it is debatable whether murder’ and térror which was common in the
1970's has come to an end, it is also highly questionable whether reconcili~
ation and no revenge bas not only been often talked about but has been put
into practice.

In spite of government efforts to improve the situation, the fact that there
are daily constant press reports of mass killings of families and individuals
and open dumping of dead bodies still causes some cold anxiety.

International Affairs Minister recently said the lives of Ministers, Magis-
trates and Members of Parliament have been threatened by bandits, so it means
that the common man is vulnerable to worse fates.

Yet it should be noted that there cannot be any viable national development
in a state of insecurity.

Thus there is a necd for a political re-thinking throughout the country if
reconciliation and no revenge is to become a practical reality.

As President Obote rightly pointed out last week in Parliament when deliver-
ing the 1985/86 budget, Ugandans of different political affiliations must
learn to tolerate each other and live together in peace. Since Uganda is a
land of diversity, political opinion diversity is inevitable.

With such political maturity many of Uganda's problems will be solved since
most of them are of a political nature. This will thus create fertile ground
for practical reconciliation and no revenge.

And with change of political attitude insecurity in the country will be tre-

mendously reduced, and development at a fast pace will definitely follow. It
is not yet too late, the wasted periods can be caught up with.

Cargo handling equipment at both Apapa and TCI ports were found to be
inadequate to cope with the increased cargo throughout the ports.

The NPA had blamed the slow-turn-round of ships at the ports on the break-
down of its equipment. It claimed that it had no spare parts to effect
repairs on the faulty equipment.

Shipping companies had to bring in their cargo handling equipment to hasten
handling operations. Stevedoring contractors who are new at the ports found
the high cargo traffic very challenging.

In April, for instance, as many as 42 ships were held up on the high seas
waiting for berthing spaces at the Lagos ports;

As at last week, the tensé situation characteristic of the "rush-period"
were much more relaxed. Military presence were not of the same magnitude
as it was just two months back. The few military personnel at the port
were mainly in areas where consignment for the Ministry of Defence were
being handled and a few of them at the gates.

Meanwhile there is a growing anticipation that activities at the ports
would be heightened when vessels start to come in with goods procured
with the 1985 import licences, possibly by next month.

NEW RUBBER PROJECTS IN TROPICAL AFRICA

Frankfurt-Main FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG/BLICK DURCH DIE WIRTSCHAFT in German
8 May 85 p 2

[Text] In several countries of tropical Africa, substantial projects for the
expansion or introduction of rubber cultivation are being carried out at
present. The Ivory Coast must be mentioned first of all, where the two large
plantation enterprises of the country, Societe Africaine de Plantations
d'Heveas (SAPH), Abidjan, and Societe des Caoutchoucs de Grand-Bereby (SCGB),
Abidjan, are making costly investments with international assistance. The
development of rubber cultivation on the Ivory Coast has the effective support
of the research institute, Institut de Recherches sur le Caoutchouc (IRCA),

Abidjan.

The country's rubber production increased in 1984 to about 34,000 tons compared
to about 29,700 tons in the previous year. For 1985 a further increase to
about 40,000 tons is expected, since new cultivated areas will become
productive. By 1990, annual production is to grow to approximately 90,000
tons. The Ivory Coast would thus surpass Liberia and would become the largest
African rubber producer. The area of cultivation is to increase from 42,000
hectares at present to about 80,000 hectares by 1990.

The Deutsche Finanzierungsgesellschaft fuer Beteiligungen in Entwicklungs—
laendern GmbH (DEG) Cologne [German financing company for. holdings in
developing countries] involved itself in the Ivory Coast with SAPH. In 1983 it
granted this enterprise a further, holding-like credit and thus increased its
total financial contribution to DM 12.5 million. SAPH operates three
plantations in Toupah, Ousrou and Bongo and at present is developing a fourth
one in Rapides Grah in the southwestern region where the tropical timber
industry was dominant until now. .

The development of the plantation in Rapides Grah is accompanied by an
exemplary housing program, extensive social services and the construction of a
public school. Major shareholders of SAPH are the country's government with
over 60 percent, and the French Societe Internationale de Plantations d'Heveas
(SIPH), Paris. Financing partners of DEG are the national French Caisse
Centrale de Cooperation Economique (CCCE), Paris, the British Commonwealth
Development Corporation (CDC), London, the European Investment Bank (EIB),
Luxembourg, and the domestic Banque Nationale de Developpement Agricole (BNDA),
Abidjan.

MEDIA CRITICISM OF IVORIAN VERSION OF SOCCER INCIDENT eoeyt

AB181255 Lagos International Service’ in English 0830 GMT: 18 Jul 85

[Commentary by Ishola Dada]

[Excerpts] Sports, we are often reminded, is one of the avenues for insuring
the physical fitness of citizens of a nation. In the same token, sports is
globally regarded as a means to promote and cement cultural and friendly
relations between countries. It is in the light of this that recent acts of
hooliganism and vandalism in the field of sports have become a source of con-
cern to all lovers of sports throughout the world. Violence on sports grounds
has indeed raised doubts about the wisdom of continuing to maintain interna-
tional sporting links when the lives and property of members of a visiting
team cannot be guaranteed by the host country. The situation becomes even
worse when law enforcement agents drafted to sports arenas cannot see them-
selves as ambassadors of their country and of international sports but allow
themselves to be controlled momentarily by emotion and shortsighted national

sentiment.

Of recent, Africa has been having its own share of this (?vandalism). Nigeria,
especially, seems to have been an unfortunate target of most of the vicious
attacks that await such encounters. This is not to suggest that Nigeria is an
angel; however, it stands to the credit of our sporting officials and law-
enforcement agents that such incidents are quickly checked whenever they occur.
Sometimes this is done even when visiting teams deliberately become cantanker-
ous. A case in point is that of the Ivorian team that came to Ibadan 3 weeks
ago to play in the West African Football Union [WAFU] cup competition against
Nigeria's IICC. The same, however, cannot be said in most cases in which
Nigeria received raw deals from her hosts. As if to suggest that what has
happened so far has been child's play, reports came last Sunday of another
such attack on members of the Nigerian soccer team during the WAFU cup second
leg encounter in Abidjan, the Ivorian capital. During the attack on our team,
many members were seriously injured. The Ivorian team, which had earlier been
beaten two goals to nil in Nigeria, had scored one goal before irate football
fans invaded the pitch and attacked the Nigerian players. As a result, the
match was abandoned after 20 damned minutes of play. The most distressing
aspect of the whole situation is that the hooliganism was carried to the homes
of Nigerians resident in the Ivorian capital. More serious, perhaps, is the
report that many Nigerians were thrown out of their homes and their belongings

GAMBIA

INFORMATION OFFICE REFUTES "POLITICIEN' CLAIMS
Dakar LE POLITICIEN in French 3 Jun 85 p 8

[Text] We received the following letter from the director
of information of Gambia:

Characteristically, LE POLITICIEN has once again come back to us with malevo-
lent remarks against Gambia and President Jawara.

To date, there has been no objection to enlightening the author of that arti-
cle about the illusions he harbors concerning Gambian foreign policy, but
there are a number of deliberate distortions that must be corrected in the
minds of minds subject to influence.

The recall of Ambassador Mbaye Mbengue from Banjul was by the chief of state,
whom he represented in our country.

It is nevertheless abnormal to believe that the Gambian chief of state could
have given a period of 20 days to Mbengue to leave Gambian territory. It is
obvious that even with a 2-year extension, Mbaye Mbengue's stay should come to
an end in a few weeks.

If LE POLITICIEN considers the quite frank and direct explanations of Presi-
dent Jawara on the case of Mbaye Mbengue as a provocation and as sabotage of
the Confederation, it would amount to thinking that Gambia remained in Sene-
gambia in spite of itself. It would consequently be absurd to speak of sabo—
taging an organization which, after all, constitutes a common interest to our
two nations.

It is useless to recall that the relations which Gambia has with Libya or any
other country concern only itself and that it will tolerate no meddling in

its internal affairs. With all the greater reason, there is no Libyan People's
Bureau set up in Banjul.

To try to hint that there is one would not only be perverse, but malicious and
Machiavellian. Bravo to LE POLITICIEN for its monstrous imagination. Your
last paragraph is the fruit of your imagination. All I can tell you is that
Gambia has excellent relations with the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the
Federal Republic of Nigeria. . What is abnormal about that?

Editor's Note
Very good, Mr Director of Information. The future will tell which of us is
telling stories that put one asleep standing.

[Question] And practically speaking, what will you do now?

[Answer] I will continue to inform public opinion, by all available means, of
what is going on over there, And at the same time, to draw the attention of
public opinion to the Eritrean problem, To support the Eritrean cause, there
is a practical means that can be adopted immediately, and that is the aid that
can be given via Sudan, without any risk of this aid being seized again by the
Ethiopian oppressors. I am glad to observe that the nongovernmental organiza-
tions are now using this means of direct access. We have also tabled a resolu-
tion with the European Parliament asking it this time to constitute an offi-
cial mission--ours was informal and private--to investigate what happens to

our aid in Ethiopia.

KAWAWA VIEWED AS SERIOUS PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER
Paris THE INDIAN OCEAN NEWSLETTER in English 29 Jun 85 p 3

[Text]

The secretary general of the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party, Rashidi
Mfaume KAWAWA, flew to his parliamentary constituency of Liwale in
southern Tanzania to tell voters ‘to choose someone else for the seat that
he has occupied in parliament since 1957.

I.0.N. ~ Whispering is on the increase about who will become who will
become president of Tanzania after the retirement three months from
now of Julius NYERERE. The 59-year-old Mr. KAWAWA, obedient ally of
Mr. NYERERE for 30 years, is seen as the_man_most likely to step into
the outgoing president's shoes. Mr. KAWAWA's decision not to seek an-
other term in parliament indicates he is getting ready for the highest
office (I.0.N. No.184), as the Tanzantan constitution forbids the pre-
sident to be a member of parliament. In 1962 when Mr. NYERERE stepped
down as prime minister soon after independence to rebuild the party,
he handed over to Mr. KAWAWA and there could be repetition this time.
Two other possibles are Ali Hassan MWINYI, Chama Cha Mapinduzi vice
chairman and president of Zanzibar, and Prime Minister Salim Ahmed
SALIM. Mr. NYERERE once said of Mr. MWINYI that he has. "abundant qua-
lities of leadership but is a bit soft". Mr. SALIM has vast knowledge
of the international political scene from his days as foreign minister
but has not yet mastered the complexities of domestic affairs.

After the current budget session of parliament ends in July, the
house will be dissolved. Then Chama Cha Mapinduat's national executive
committee will fix a date to meet and nominate the sole presidential
candidate, who will receive the popular stamp of approval at elections
in October.

that the days are over when they could freely launch propaganda campaigns such
as "Reformation Day Testimony," Storm Compasses," and "Reforums." Moreover,
they also realize of course that they form only a small minority in the

Church, even though they often pretend that they are speaking on behalf of the
majority.

That is why so much fuss is now being made over a so-called "rightist attack"
on the NGK. It is once again the established pattern of the leftists: accuse
the enemy of being the "subverter," while it is actually you yourself who has
been subverting and sabotaging for a long time already. In that manner
attention is diverted from your own activities.

Conservative ministers will not be scared by this. The realization that the
Church is in danger is already widespread, and numerous ministers and members
realize that the General. Synod of 1986: will surely be a watershed synod, the

name by which it is already known.

These ministers and members also realize that leftist powers within the Church
have already gained significant victories. Only a few months ago the question
on mixed marriages was still a big controversy, but that has considerably
subsided as a result of the Government's repeal of that law. . The fact that.
the church leadership didn't speak out against that repeal, in spite of the
most ‘recent decision of the General Synod. that such marriages are "extremely
undesired," must be seen as a victory for the leftists.

The next leftist goal is the complete opening up of the NGK. A warning sign
was already given at the West Cape Province Synod of 1983 when it was decided
that no person who worships "in good faith" must be prevented from attending
services. (How those acting in good faith will be distinguished from those
with. bad intentions.is not. explained.) The fact that this campaign is fully
under way is emphasized by the fury which broke out over events ‘in Pietersburg
where a church council. decided not to allow Blacks into. the church.

Leftists in the NGK will do everything in their power to fall into step with
outside developments. While all of society is rapidly being reformed from
separation to integration, they won't rest until the Church is also completely
integrated. A leader in the Church, Dr Dirk Fourie, already predicted that
development in November 1983 when he said: "Apartheid, as we have known it
from 1948 to 1983, now is completely over. I don't doubt that this change
will also penetrate our church relations. I.expect that there will be greater
insistence on more ecclesiastical cooperation and on the elimination of points

of conflict."

As Professor Piet Dreyer stated correctly during the recent People's Congress:
If multi-raciality becomes the community standard, then it must necessarily
affect the church. A separate church cannot survive in a multi-racial
community.

Since currently a fierce struggle is being fought over the nature and
character of the future South African society, ‘that struggle necessarily. will

PRESENT CONFLICT SEEN AS CONTINUATION OF 1899 WAR
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 3
[Article: "War of 1899 Continues Against Afrikaners"]

[Text] Mr Jaap Marais, leader of the HNP [Reformed National Party], said that
the war of 1899-1902 is still being carried on today by the English speaking
world against the Afrikaners.

Mr Marais spoke to the People's Congress on Afrikaner culture and American
liberalism about the impact of American Jiberalism on our economic and politi-
cal development.

Mr Marais said that-it is not moral considerations or social conscience which
turn the scales in-the relationship among states, but self-interest. "The real
motive is hidden behind pious phrases such as "social justice,’ ‘Christian
values,' 'human rights' and 'political authority.'" However, there should be
no doubt about the fact that what is at stake in the relationship between South
Africa and America is the mineral wealth of the republic.

Mr Marais stated that this motive is often presented promptly. Thus former
President Richard Nixon wrote in his book “The Real War": “Our goal is to
gain control of the two big storehouses the West is dependent on: the energy
storehouse of the Persian Gulf and the mineral storehouse of Central and
Southern Africa."

Mr Marais said that because the Americans cannot openly state this goal, they
must find a pretext. A nearly identical situation existed in the eighteen—
nineties when Britain wanted to get the wealth of the Transvaal gold in its
hands. At that time also a campaign of hatred was conducted against the
Afrikaners and the pretext used was the right to vote for foreigners.

"It is often said that the Afrikaners' mistake is that they want to refight the
Boer War," said Mr Marais. "This is partly true, but we are not the ones who
started the war and we are not the ones who are pursuing it now either. The
war is always being continued against us by the English speaking world because
at the time they were unable to nationalize the Afrikaners and today they can-
not get them out of political power."

The DEG also invested DM 2 million for its acquisition of an 18.7 percent
share and DM 1 million as a loan for the project of the Ethanol Company Ltd.
(Ethco) of Blantyre for manufacture of ethanol from sugar cane molasses.
Jager and Associates (International) Ltd. of Jersey, which primarily applies
the know-how of Krupp Industrietechnik GmbH, Werk Grevenbroich (formerly
Buckau-Walther AG), isa partner... The ethanol produced by Ethco (5 million
liters per year) partially replaces the importation of premium gasoline and
thus helps relieve the balance of payments.

The cotton produced in Malawi is processed almost exclusively by the textile
firm David Whitehead and Sons (Malawi) Ltd. of Blantyre, of which Lonrho Ltd.
holds 51 percent. This firm, one of the country's largest, put a new facility
for production of polyester and cotton blends into operation in spring 1984.
It cost approximately 10 million kwacha and was installed as part of a 20
million kwacha expansion program. Operating at a profit, David Whitehead and
Sons (Malawi) Ltd., which employs roughly 35,000 workers, produced 31.3
million meters of fabric in 1984, 6.6 million meters of which were exported.

In September 1984, the FRG granted Malawi a DM 35 million subsidy within the
framework of financial cooperation for partial financing of an important
timber industry complex in Chikangawa in the Viphya mountains in the northern
part of the country. The timber industry complex is to include a sawmill with
an annual capacity of 6,500 kilometers of lumber and 12,000 cubic meters of
plywood cores as well as a plywood paneling and board plant with an annual
capacity of 7,500 cubic meters each of paneling and poard. The total
investment is estimated at DM 61.1 million. The project sponsor is the Viphya
Plywoods and Allied Industries Ltd. of Eldoret in Kenya. Project completion
is slated for January 1987.

Earlier in 1984 a subsidy of DM 8.5 million was granted by the FRG for the
construction of a 34 kilometer stretch of road 8 56 between Nsanama and
Nselema in the Machinga district of the south province. The stretch is the
northern extension of the recently completed Liwonde-Nsanama section financed
by the FRG. The firm of Gitec Consult GmbH of Duesseldorf was called in as
engineering consultants. The order for construction of the Nsanama-Nselema
section as a standard gravel road for year-round use was awarded to the South
African company Group Five Ltd. of Rivonia/Transvaal.

Since the beginning of November 1983, all of Malawi's international air
traffic has been routed through the new Kamuzu Banda International Airport at
the capital city of Lilongwe, rather than Blantyre as in the past. The
Blantyre airport (Chileka Airport) now serves domestic air traffic. The
African Development Bank of Abidjan (Ivory Coast) awarded a loan of more than
15 million units of account (1 unit of account = approximately $1.07) for the
third stage of construction of the new Kamuzu Banda International Airport.
The total investment for the third stage of construction should amount to 21

strengthening the trust of the affected (those who have survived) in the army
and the government. Although British instructors have been trying for years
to teach discipline to Ugandan officers and non-commissioned officers so that
they will deal appropriately with soldiers, the army remains the scourge of
the population. Even though the training program has faltered, the British
want to extend it.

Obote's government has never responded publicly to charges from domestic and
foreign politicians and human rights organizations. Instead, foreign
journalists have, from time to time, been denied permission to travel into
Uganda. Ugandan journalists, however, especially those of the Catholic press,
are showing great courage by pointing out the true situation in the country
and are not hesitating to describe even details of army ineursions although
some of these journalists are repeatedly maltreated or disappear, and in spite
of very limited paper allocations by the government.

According to their secretary general Kitariko, of the original 52 elected
representatives of. the opposition Democratic Partyy 4 have been driven into
exile and 2 assassinated, 2 others have disappeared. ‘In at least 29 cases,
opposition representatives. have been maltreated. Two found themselves in
prison without charges. Many others have reportedly been arrested temporarily
on charges of rebellion, high treason or murder without there ever having’ been
a.single conviction. According to a letter to Obote from the opposition
faction, "Not only elected officials are affected by such terrifying
incidents. They touch all areas of the country's society."

Obote made as little response to this letter as to the demand of the
opposition for an explanation of the most recent disappearance of a member of
the National Assembly. He was seized dnd taken away at the end of May,
together with two other people on the road to Kampala "by men in army
uniforms, using a vehicle with army markings which was later seen at the Mbuya
barracks of Kampala." The Democratic Party states that there has been no
trace of him since. ‘ -

The army killed 120 guerrillas of the MNR between June 1 and June 6 in
Sofala province and "freed 140 persons who had been forced to live with
the armed bandits", the Mozambican weekly Domingo reported. Other clashes
took place in the adjacent province of Manica, in which 18 rebels were
killed, the’ paper said. Despite these successes by the army, the
insurgents continue to move and operate at will. On June 15, rail traffic
between Maputo and South Africa was halted yet again due to the sabotage
of a bridge three kilometers (two miles) from the South African border.
(Train service had resumed June 4 after several days' interruption caused
by the sabotage of another bridge.) On June 17, a Mozambican couple who
ran a pineapple plantation and a fruit juice-making factory supplying
hotels in the Namaacha area, west of Maputo and one kilometer from the
border, were attacked by the rebels.

I.0.N. - It is now clear that any installation with economic value is
a potential target for the guerrillas in their campaign to paralyze
Mozambique. For this reason, the announcement by the pro-governnent
press of the deaths of 120 rebels in Sofala province is intended to
have a morate-boosting effect. Most of the guerrilla commanders are
from the Manica-Sofala region in the center of Mozambique, which was

According to the briefing he received at Chambishi, Mufulira and Luanshya
divisions, less than half the number would lose their jobs.

Ne was speaking to Pressmen at the end of his tour of the Copperbelt.

Mr Banda was refuting claims that the sackings were instigated by the Govern-
ment as a measure to reduce labour in the mines in view of economic problems.

Mr Banda who was accompanied by acting labour commissioner Mr Edward Phiri
said miners were going through normal channels of appeals.

The mine managements at the three divisions were sifting through the appeals.
They were guided by the mines' own disciplinary code.

“They will follow what is required of them according to their disciplinary code.
The Government has no hand in it. Not at all. ‘ake it as official."

Mr Banda said the Government's delay to apply the instrument number six on the
reduction of union dues for the Mineworkers Union of Zambia (MUZ) was adminis-
trative.

"I can't give any specific reasons why it has taken time to implement," he
said answering a question on why the ministry applied the instrument very
quickly against other unions whose members went on strikes.

JUDGE CRITICAL OF POLICE BEHAVIOR IN UITENHAGE KILLINGS

Cape Town DIE BURGER in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 12
[Editorial: "The Kannemeyer Report"

[Text] Judge Donald Kannemeyer's report on the shooting in which 20 people
were killed at Uitenhage on 21 March is a comprehensive and evenly-balanced
document which touches on various facets of the security situation in South
Africa. Beside the significant statement on the shooting itself it contains
important guidelines with an eye to further measures in situations of this
sort.

One of the most important findings will give most South Africans a great deal
of concern: the shooting could have been prevented.

In particular the judge voiced strong criticism of police actions regarding
funerals. In a memorandum the minister of law and order promised a revision
of such actions as recommended. The matter is urgent, also because of the
fact that sometime ago it already appeared highly desirable to keep police
presence in such circumstances as inconspicuous as possible.

The police action at the scene of the shooting is being condoned to a great
extent since the judge finds it understandable that the commanding officer,
confronted by crowds that were becoming riotous, gave the order to shoot.

However, Judge Kannemeyer has strong criticism for the police actions which
preceded the shooting. Measures which have been taken after and ever since
the shooting show that the government has given attention to failures with
respect to the control of disorders which became apparent at Uitenhage. In
his memorandum Minister Le Grange announces a plan for an intensified and
better coordinated plan of action, as well as the procurement of more effective
equipment which will limit the loss of lives to a minimum. This will be wel-
comed widely in light of necessary police actions which must, however, be
elevated to be above serious criticism.

Nevertheless, it is not just the police who did not fare too well in the
Kannemeyer Report. The judge also focuses light on the role of groups that
have rushed into the unfortunate Uitenhage situation with concealed ill inten-
tions evidently aimed at further promoting a propaganda storm against the
government.

ETHIOPIA

EUROPEAN DEPUTY DISCUSSES DIVERSION OF FOOD AID
Paris NORD SUD in French Jun 85 pp 40, 41

[Interview with Willy Kuijpers, European deputy, by J. C. Ricquier; date and
place net specified]

[Text] For several weeks now, the international press has noted the disclo-
sures made by three European deputies including a Belgian, Willy Kuijpers, on
the diversion of European food aid to Ethiopia, But strangely, the big press
organizations left it at that. Apparently, they never endeavored to find out
more. It will be seen below how the Addis Abiba government and its army is
using this aid, Not that of Belgian farmers, but that of the Community and the
United States, which for only 1984 and the first months of 1985 totaled ap-
proximately 15 billion Belgian francs! It will be learned that the Ethiopian
administration is under serious suspicion of using this enormous amount of
money to sustain its fight against the Eritrean separatist movement, and even
to increase its foreign currency reserves!

Eritrea is that area of Ethiopia bordering on the Red Sea, opposite Saudi
Arabia, south of Sudan and north of Djibouti, Annexed to Italian East Africa
by Mussolini in 1936, its constitution as a federalized autonomous province
was recognized by the UNO in 1952, This recognition involved the promise of
proceeding to independence after a period of 10 years. But in 1962, it was
purely and simply annexed by Emperor Haile Selassie. Since 1965, the Eritrean
people, one of history's forgotten peoples, have been fighting fiercely for
their independence.

[Question] The international press echoed your accusations against the Ethio-
pian government which is said to be diverting European food aid, This mission
of yours, who allowed you to discover these diversions, and was it your first
contact with Ethiopia?

[Answer] No, As early as 1983, when I was still a Belgian parliamentary
representative, I went to Eritrea where I was able to make contact with
Ethiopian prisoners of war (today they number 8,000 in this area). I enjoyed
considerable freedom of movement and was able to meet several senior officers.
They are the ones who jnformed me then that the political advisors, organized
into collectivist paramilitary groups, were paid with foreign food aid; this
was in the form of allocations of flour or other foodstuffs, They also dis-
closed to me that Ethiopian agricultural exports were usually used for



Our police have an extremely difficult task in controlling and even
avoiding riots. They are. supposed to avoid shooting people dead as
far as is humanly possible; but their actions must nonetheless also
instill respect and fear, which serve to inhibit riots. They are
supposed to avoid stirring up the crowds' emotions further as well as
try to ward off confrontation, while maintaining the necessary firm
control of the situation.

As a newspaper we. understand the circumstances which led Minister Louis
le Grange to give mistaken information to Parliament after the riots.
What is inexcusable is that he didn't immediately correct it when he
was provided with a more correct version.

invaluable contribution in the academic and research area. And the Organiza—
tion of Orange Workers could also play an important role with its principle
of white self-help.

Does the Afrikaner opposition at the present time also need a secret organiza-
tion? Those who think so will definitely have to come up with sound reasons

for their position.

While Mr De Klerk must thus be losing "rightist" support in the NP caucus, at
the same time he is being presented as someone who drags his feet in implement-
ing government policy. The word in political circles is that he is not as
enthusiastic about some aspects of government policy as he should be and there-
fore he is incurring suspicion on the part of the NP's left wing.

What is striking about the cabinet shuffle is the gain in strength on the part
of the Cape Province group. Two Cape province people, Eli Louw and Dr Willie
van Niekerk, have been appointed and this could mean that the position of Chris
Heunis as an aspirant to the state presidency is now stronger.

PAPER URGES CAUTION IN REACTING TO U.S. DISINVESTMENT
Pretoria DIE TRANSVALER in Afrikaans 7 Jun 85 p 8
[Editorial: "Beware of Overreaction"]

(rexe] Exaggerated ‘reaction is usually weak diplomacy.

And now we are getting just that feeling, that we are overreacting to the
American campaign for disinvestment--on the radio and TV news where, appro-
priately enough, “dt ends up in the ears of those Listening and watching.

This is exactly what the architects of this malicious plan want to happen.

The more we react and talk about possible countermeasures, the happier the
Kennedys and the Jacksons must feel that they are rubbing our nerves raw.

That is why, this paper agrees with what Dr Anton Rupert had occasion to say
concerning disinvestment: Let us not just sit on it and fret. Do what is
right, and make plans for the future.

After the decision ‘in the House of Representatives to end American investments
in the Republic, hold back computer technology, and prohibit the sale of the
Krugerrand, the business of certain punitive measures is no longer just a
shadow on the horizon: it is now coming dangerously close to reality.

How matters will ultimately turn out depends on what President Reagan does with
this legislation. Perhaps the Democrats secretly hope the White House will
veto, it. Then it might result-in internal arguments between Democrats and
Republicans, ‘with the probable bonus for the leftist. groups that their support
could increase.

Of greater importance is that South Africans, and especially the South African
government, carefully consider their strategy regarding disinvestment and
determine their action ‘such that positive adjustments can pe made. It should
not just be anybody with political ambitions who takes a position on counter—
measures. There was Serious misunderstanding in the rural districts this week
regarding what a deputy minister announced concerning this problem.

The main thing is that there should be no sign of panic or quarrelling amongst
ourselves.

UNITED STATES ACCUSED OF PROMOTING BLACK UNIONS

> Pretoria’ DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 12 Jun 85 p 3
[Article: "Yankees Promote Black Unions"]

“[Text’]’ The black unions in South Africa with all their political implications
are largely a ereation' of American liberals, said Mr Gert Beetge at the People's
Congréss. Mr Beetge is a well known union leader.

In 1966, the American unions had already started agitating for full trade
union rights for blacks in South Africa. There were threats of sanctions and
divestment.

But those people had their accomplices in South Africa. In 1973 the leftist
trade union group known as TUCSA [Trade Union Council of South Africa] decided
that, given the fact that black unions could not officially be registered, in-
dividual white or mixed unions should create parallel black unions, organize
them and train their office holders. A day would come when the government
would be forced to register them anyhow.

Another body which worked in this direction and was directly controlled from
the United States, was the Urban Training Project [UTP], which worked in si-
lence. Both TUCSA and UTP received large amounts of money from the United
States, and TUCSA was given a very large American library full of leftist li-
terature as a present.

In 1973, the lawyer John Vorster already held out the prospect of a future
recognition of black unions. Then came Professor Nic Wiehahn, and the imple-
mentation of his report by Mr Fanie Botha as minister of manpower. Mr Beetge
said that nobody has done more to put South Africa on the path to black domina-
tion than those two men.

Union rights are political rights and the black strikes since then have been
political strikes, said Mr Beetge. In 1979, 15,495 black workers went on

strike, but in 1984 there were 174,897. That year only 16 whites went on
strike.

newspaper maintaining excellent relations with Jawara. Furthermore, they are
both from the same ethnic group, Soce, like the Gambian vice president and
the author of the article itself.

What one must remember beyond these clarifications is that the document pub-
lished by THE TORCH and that recommends a referendum on Senegambia, has spread
in Gambia and President Abdou Diouf should keep that extraordinary impact in
mind.

Actually, Diouf should take advantage of this golden opportunity in order to
clarify, once and for all, our relationship with our Gambian brothers. We

no longer have to court them, as if we were the only winners in a confedera-
tion. As long as there is no referendum, Diouf will remain the hostage of
Jawara, who is himself the hostage of the lobbies and obscure forces that con-
trol the situation in Gambia. :

The Kannemeyer Report rejects as false many serious assertions flaunted by the
likes of certain Progressive Party members, the Black Sash and Dr Allan Boesak.
Obviously this is a significant reflection on those who can arouse the impres—
sion that they desire to make the already difficult task of the police in
dangerous situations only more difficult.

As a result of the report a police investigation is being undertaken following
the judge's findings on certain members of the Police Force. Disciplinary
measures, as well as the correction of other procedures which appear to have
been faulty, will be in the interest of the Police Force, which continues to
be the first line against the forces of chaos threatening everybody in South
Africa. Hopefully the Kannemeyer Report will have lasting good results also
in this respect.

COMMENT ON LANGA INVESTIGATION REPORT

Findings of Kannemeyer Commission
Pretoria DIE TRANSVALER in Afrikaans 13 Jun 85 p 8
[Editorial: "Riots and Lies"]

[Text] The central message of the Kannemeyer report can be expressed
as follows:

We are fully aware that the country is affected with spreading unrest,..
incited by Communist handymen. Their aim is nothing other than. bloody
confrontation. But we did not take sufficient precautions to avoid the
Uitenhage tragedy.

The police, the PFP [Progressive Federal Party], Black Sash,. and
representatives of the press who sent rather hopelessly distorted facts
overseas are all guilty. :

The PFP jumped in head over heels and some of its members have been
guilty of overzealousness. Black Sash lied unabashedly about the, number
of casualties.

This newspaper has the greatest admiration for the manner in which the
police are doing their unenviable work in the midst of all this unrest.
Where else in the world must so many fight, and so often, against bombs,
arson, villainy, property damage, and many other offenses as at the
present time in the Republic? It simply must test one's patience and
reasonableness to the extreme.

But then judgment and planning must be all the more effective.

Judge Kannemeyer's findings that the distribution of equipment has fallen
short, that the prohibition on holding burials was not a good decision,
are complaints against the SAP [South African Police]. It can then be
asked: why such oversights after the experience of Soweto and, before
this, Sharpville, should have taught us those lessons?

NIGERIAN AMBASSADOR REFUTES ARTICLE'S CLAIMS
Dakar LE POLITICIEN in French 17 May 85 p 4
[Article by Maj Gen Zamani Lekwot, Nigerian ambassador] .

[Text] Following the article entitled "Nigeria Against
Senegambia," which appeared in our issue No 119 of 1 March
1985, we received the following clarification from Nigeria:

An article that appeared on the last page of issue No 119 of your famous
weekly attracted my attention. That article, published on 1 March 1985,
under the title "Nigeria Against Senegambia," abounds in allegations made
against my country, allegations that are very general, serious and without
proof. The allegations included in that article are related to the fact
that; 1 -- The entire Nigerian press has discredited the Republic of Senegal
shortly after the official visit made to Nigeria in January 1985 by President
Abdou Diouf. 2 -- Nigeria was entrusted by the Commonwealth of torpedoing
the young Confederation of Senegambia that Gambians and Senegalese patiently
set about building. 3 -- Regarding the "fishing boat affair," it was Nigeria
that incited Gambia to humiliate Senegal. 4 -- Nigeria has tight control over
the Gambian authorities. 5 -- Nigeria and Gambia are on the brink of signing
a defense agreement.

Since these defamatory and groundless allegations could hurt the excellent
relations that exist between Nigeria and Senegal, I believe that it is suita-
ble to make the following observations and I would be very grateful if you
would give them adequate coverage by publishing them in a suitable place in
the next issue of LE POLITICIEN so that things might be clarified.

First of all, the author was unfair to his Nigerian colleagues in wrongly
accusing all the Nigerian press of having discredited the Republic of Senegal
(only God knows the reason for that act) shortly after the official visit of
President Abdou Diouf to Nigeria at the beginning of this year. As far as 1
know, President Abdou Diouf and his entourage, according to reports published
in the principal media of both countries, with the exception of LE POLITICIEN,
were welcomed to Nigeria with spontaneous warmth and affection.

Second, the Confederation of Senegambia does not threaten the Commonwealth or
Nigeria in any way. Would it be worthwhile to try to undermine this desirable

The board of directors also requests that the Teachers' Council not validate
the third-year examination until the course in pathological anatomy has been
taught in full and evaluated as part of the examination system now in effect.

Lastly, the board of directors resolves not to consider reopening the EISMV

NYERERE PLEDGES NOT TO NATIONALIZE SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 22 Jun 85 p 1

[Text]

PRESIDENT Nyerere yesterday .

assured religious leaders in the
country that the Government will
not nationalise schools and

hospitals which their institutions ©

might decide to, build.

Mwalimu explained that the
1971 nationalisation . was
necessary to. remove glaring dif-
ferences that had arisen when it
had become apparent that a cross
“st hair ¥; the spopylation. were
being denied services in such
hospitals and schools, Shihata
teported,

The President, who is also the
Party Chairman, said this in
Dodoma yesterday when respon-
ding to questions at the general
meeting of the Christian Council
of Tanzania (CCT).

He stressed that since the dif-
ferences had been eliminated,
(every‘ citizen could now be ad-
mitted in any school or hospital
in the country without reser-
vations), there was no need to
maintain the _ nationalisation
decision. *

cso: 3400/620

He appealed to the churches to
assist. Government efforts in
building technical schools as they
were capable of recruting enough
technical teachers.

He said a decision could be
made’ by the bishops that the
dioceses build technical training
school ‘in each: district.

“According: to government
plans; he stated, each district was
supposed to have a . technical
training. sctioo! by. the, yeas 2000
while“efforts would-afso be made”
to ‘build: two more universi
colleges, in addition to the
existing two.

' He urged the churches to help
.in attaining that goals, stressing
that efforts would be made to
strengthen primary education to
enable school leavers to technical
schools and subsequently
becoming self-employed.

Mwalimu said however ex-
pansion of -secondary schools
would be made only as a means

126

to get sufficient teachers for the
primary school and satisfy the
mapower demand in other sec-
tors of the national economy.

“We must aim at getting

‘qualified primary school teachers

so that primary school leavers
will be able to-cope with the type
of training offered in technical
schools”, he emphazised.

The President urged the people
to co-operate with the police so
that bad elements within society
are taken to task. .

He told the religious leaders,

mainly ‘ifrom.- the; Protestant

denomination,” “that” altiough’
crime had gone down compared
to a few years back, bandits now
used modern weapons warning
that the Government would deal
with them severely.

the past bandits used
knives, truncheons and other
petty weapons. But presently,
they are using pistols and guns”,
he said. | _



The leaders of the CP sat in the cabinet when it became apparent that
Dr Verwoerd's expectation that the black flood into "white" South Africa
would be turned around by 1978 was not being realized. They also ought
to know how totally intertwined the economic realities of South Africa

are.
Insignificant

A pure Afrikaner state would of necessity be an insignificant little
country with an impoverished economy, far from the economic heartbeat
of the country. And the argument of some in the CP that such a state
(with no hope of international recognition) would have nothing to fear
from disinvestment is simply laughable.

Nevertheless, the influence of what were once regarded as outcroppings
of the far right in the vicinity of the CP has grown so great within
that party that it seems logical that Dr Treurnicht et al. will also in
time saddle up the tiger of an Afrikaner state.

It is a tiger that cannot be ridden.

The most recent development which, as indicated, is probably the cause of
General Viljoen's and General Van Deventer's leaving, means that the Americans
now have a greater hold on South Africa's foreign policy thanks to the
mediation of South Africa's Department of Foreign Affairs. All that loftiness
and verbosity of Mr P.W. Botha doesn't veil the inner weakness of the South
African Government, which is daily becoming a bigger lackey of American
imperialism.

NIGERIA

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO RECEIVE ALLOCATIONS DIRECTLY
Kaduna NEW NIGERIAN in English 24 Jun 85 pp 1, 3

[Article by Nkem Agetua]

[Text]

LOCAL Governments
are to get their
Statutory allocations
direct from the
Federal Government
under a new ar-
rangement, the New
Nigerian has learnt
in Lagos.

It was gathered that this
was one of the recommen-
dations made by the Local
Government Review Com-
mittee set up by the
Federal Military Govern-
ment last year under the
Chairmanship of Alhaji
Ibrahim Dasuki, Baraden
Sokoto. :

The New Nigerian also
gathered that the Supreme
Military Council (SMC) had
finished deliberations on
the committee’s report and
that a government white
paper would be published
any time from now.

cSO: 3400/647
cso:

_. Under the new arrange- +
ment, local governments’ are

to open accounts in any com-
mercial bank in their areas
while the Federal Ministry of
Finance would use the state
government’s prescribed
revenue allocation formula for
local governments to remit
local governments’ money in-
to the Central Bank of Nigeria
branch office in the state. or
through the nearest branch. ,

Tt was learnt that the bran-

ches of the Central Bank in. -

turn would remit the money to
the commercial banks ‘ac-
counts of the local govern-
ment.

The source told the New

Nigerian that the need for the
arrangement became

necessary in order to make
local governments more
viable and stop the practice
whereby some state govern-
ments diverted money meant
for local governments to
other purposes. -

It also revealed that a new
management structure has
been worked out for local
governments under which the
affairs of the local govern-

34

ment would be conducted by a
management committee
made up of people with proven
integrity and on ‘part-time
basis. ©

” On staffing, the New Nigerian
gathered that local govern-

ments would be allowed to
recruit their own staff through
a Local Government Service
Commission to be set up.
This, the source explained,
was aimed at avoiding the pre-
sent situation where state
jovernment staff deployed to |
focal governments are not ful-
ly committed to the progress
of governments. .
‘The new system, he said, was
also aimed at halting the rural
to urban drift and also afford
the numerous experienced top
military officers and civil ser-
vants who have retired and
gone back to their village to be
able to serve their com-
es in various
cities.
___It was also learnt that an ap-
propriate Federal Govern-
“ment agency would be set up
to monitor the activities of the
local governments and their
relationship . with ‘the state
governments.



"The export of Yugoslav goods depended on the type of investment built by
Yugoslav organisations of associated labour. Since 1980 the Yugoslav export
economy, like the Zambian, was limited to crediting exports which resulted in
a decline in the volume of trade and number of articles," explains the brief-
ing document.

The most significant cooperation has been in the field of investment.

Joint Yugoslav-Zambian enterprises engaged in a variety of projects were estab-
lished before 1970. But the international economic climate and those of the
individual countries have resulted in Zambia reducing the volume of investment
projects thus reducing the number of joint ventures,

An official record of joint ventures, “Energoprojekt" of Belgrade participated
in the establishment of ZECCO (which earned about 30 million US dollars an-
nually by its activity in the field of construction.)

"Energoprojekt founded a designing and consulting service company UNICO and
SIDCO for mining, geological and hydrological research. The two companies
have seen their end,

The organisation built the Kafue hydro-electric power station valued at 80
million US dollars. The Yugoslav company was credited 50 million US dollars.
It also built the 33 million US dollar North Kariba i-hydro-electric power
station.

Several

Yugoslavia has constructed, through the company, several major highways; the
Mulungushi Hall, the University Centre, University Teaching Hospital, the
Kafue Housing Project, and many other administrative buildings.

Energoprojekt's joint enterprises were successful during the seventies, Come
the eighties ZECCO which was once a model for joint cooperation between de-
veloping countries faced severe financial difficulties which ended in Energo-
projekt reinvesting its claims as fixed assets while its technical personnel
retained their consulting capacity.

Energoinvest of Sarajevo founded ENERGOINVEST Ltd for construction of trans-
mission lines and transformer stations. By 1983 it had built more than 2,300
kilometres of transmission lines with accompanying stations worth 100 million
US dollars.

Partizanski Put of Belgrade and Planum of Zemun founded their enterprises and
were engaged in building infrastructure, roads, bridges and one airport.
Partizanski Put built over 13,000 km of modern highways and more than 8,000
bridges. Until 1969 Planum worked in Zambia through the joint enterprises of
ZECCO: It later founded its own enterprise for civil engineering--PLANUM-
ZAMBIA Ltd. Planum has withdrawn from the Zambian market because of the
decline in construction activity in Zambia: It withdrew in 1983.

still alive today on the boer's farm. The poer's rifle, his wagon, his draft
oxen ... these are historic cultural things which ought to be respected even
today. The role of the woman on the farm and the expression that this role
has found in family life and in the values of the boer are valuable cultural
possessions even today.

Mr Bosman went on to say that the boer's practical inventions enabled him to
work his land more efficiently and easier and these are just as much a part of
the Afrikaner's cultural possession.

In his report Dr Fourie stated that the central government is planning to allot
2,065 million rand in capital expenditures for the development of white rural
areas, while provincial governments are planning to allot 1,802 million, making
this a total of 3,867 million. However, an inquiry at the Treasury made by
DIE AFRIKANER revealed that this figure also includes 708 million rand to be
allotted to the Black University of the North, many technical schools and
hospitals in larger towns, an art gallery at Pietersburg and. many other ex-
penditures that have nothing to do with rural development. The total actual
figure is presumably closer to 400 million rand.

Agricultural economists have expressed their concern over the unscientific
manner in which the Department of Political Development is managing its plan-
ning work. The department asserts that the 255 million rand which the Depart-
ment of Agriculture has allowed for research, development and information is
a lot of money to be spent on 70,000 boer farms. But economists are pointing
out that if the boers would have had to do this research and development work
themselves the cost of producing their products would have been much higher
and they would have had to recover this in the price charged to the consumers.
Therefore, in a way, these expenditures represent consumer subsidies.

Mr Willie Lewies, chairman of the District Agricultural Union of Ellisras, sum-
med up the feelings of the agricultural community when he expressed to DIE
AFRIKANER his deep concern over the course now being taken by Mr Heunis's
department. What has become of the government's policy the goal of which was
to reverse the depopulation trend of the rural areas? This is what Mr Lewies
asked. Without a large boer population in Northern Transvaal cities will not
be safe and the terrorist movements will be at the threshold of the metropolis.

SOUTH AFRICA

CREATION OF SECRET ORGANIZATION CAUSES RESENTMENT
Pretoria DIE AFRIKANER in Afrikaans 29 May 85 p 4

[Article by Gawie in the column "Perspective": "Do We Need a Secret Organiza-
tion?"] 7

[Text] A rightwing secret organization bearing the somewhat strange name of
"Puture Talks" has apparently been created recently. Newspaper reports in
which full particulars about circulars sent out by the new organization have
been reproduced suggest that such a movement does exist and that it is not once
again a rumor like so many others in recent months. mes . :

The leaking of confidential circulars to the hostile press so ‘soon after its
creation is naturally a severe blow for the organization. It reminds one
strongly of events in the Broederbond [AB] when reports about secret meetings
of the organization appeared nearly week after week in the Sunday press. Later
on that infiltration took on such dimensions that confidential lists with the
names of members frequently appeared in the press. The Broederbond:was osten-
sibly secret, but later on its activities were less secret than those of many
non-secret organizations, It.is no wonder that later on voices began to be
raised from within the Broederbond in favor of completely throwing open the
organization's activities.

This necessary infiltration of a secret organization was one of the reasons
why, after their suspension from the Broederbond, leaders of the HNP [Reformed
National Party] refrained from setting up a new secret movement.

Secret organizations cannot be rejected in principle. And yet, experience
with the Broederbond has taught that this kind of movement is all too inclined
to deteriorate and degenerate. In the early years of the Broederbond secrecy
was a means to produce effectiveness because many Afrikaners were vulnerable
to victimization and intimidation. However, during the seventies (and possibly
even before) the Broederbond became a means to political power which was used
by political leaders against opponents. Hence, instead of an organization to
serve the people, the AB became a terrain for political manipulation and
maneuvering. . 7

It was Mr John Vorster who succeeded in making use of the Broederbond comple-
tely to his own advantage. Without any scruples Mr’ Vorster started using the
Broederbond in his struggle against other Afrikaners and —- tragically enough --
the AB leaders allowed themselves to be misused that way.

looted. ‘These reports, if true, constitute a big slur on the integrity and
efficiency of the Ivorian law enforcement agents. Someone in Ivory Coast.
ought to know that this is capable of doing incalculable damage to the rela~
tions between that country and Nigeria. Nigeria has lodged a strong protest
with the authorities in Ivory Coast. Hopefully, the government of that coun-
try will respond promptly and swiftly by making those responsible for last
Sunday's show of shame pay for their behavior.

Unfortunately though, the utterances of the Ivorian minister for youth and
sports are not helping the matter. His remarks on the incident so far amount
to an endorsement of last Sunday's soccer thuggery, and this can only aggra-
vate the situation. Utterances like these can fuel the current skepticism
about Nigeria's future participation in sports encounters with certain coun~
tries, some of whom have refused to reciprocate our good gesture.
