If British Aerospace and MBB are allowed to complete their deal with South Africa, it will amount to another major breach of the arms embargo sad give substantial support to the SADF. BONN ACTS Six South Africans were excluded from a military conference in Karlsroe, West Germany, at the end of June after representations by the World Campaign.

  • Nelson Mandela
    Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela was a very important person in the South African anti-apartheid movement having spent twenty-seven years in prison for fighting against the government. He was also the first black South African President from 1994–1999. Apartheid (say: a-part-hite) was the separation of black and white people in South Africa. Early Life Nelson Mandela was named Rolihlahla Mandela when he was born in Mvezo (say: m-vay-zo), South Africa on 18th July 1918. He was given the name Nelson by his teacher at school. He did well at school and went to the University of Fort Hare. However, he was expelled because he joined a student protest. When he returned home, his family told him he they would arrange a marriage for him if he did not return to Fort Hare to finish his degree. Mandela ran away to the city of Johannesburg (say: Joe-han-ez-burg) where he managed to finish his degree through the University of South Africa and eventually became a lawyer. Politics and Prison From 1942, he was becoming more and more involved with politics and by 1944, he helped create the youth section of the African National Congress (ANC), a political party in South Africa. Later, in 1952, he was chosen as the National Volunteer-in-Chief of the Defiance Campaign which was a movement to fight against apartheid. The following years were full of fighting and arrests because of trying to stop apartheid. In 1962, he was arrested again and given a life sentence in 1964.

  • Who Speaks for Nelson Mandela?
    Who Speaks For Nelson Mandela? By JOHN D. BATTERSBY, Special to The New York Times July 30, 1988 JOHANNESBURG, July 29 — Nelson Mandela, speaking through his lawyer, today repudiated a claim by a public relations consultant from North Carolina who said he had been given power of attorney to represent the Mandela family interests and prevent “the rip-off” of the imprisoned anti-apartheid leader’s name. The statement attributed to Mr. Mandela appeared to bring into the open a dispute between his wife, Winnie Mandela, and the African National Congress, the exiled anti- apartheid movement that he leads, over who has the authority to authorize use of the Mandela name and control the disbursement of proceeds from concerts, movies, T-shirts and buttons. To the extent that there has been such a conflict, Mr. Mandela was plainly siding with his movement and not his wife. Mrs. Mandela was at the side of Robert J. Brown, the North Carolina consultant, when he announced last week that he had been given power of attorney to prevent financial exploitation of the Mandela name. Mr. Brown, a conservative Republican, came to attention here two years ago when it became known he was President Reagan’s choice to be the first black ambassador from the United States to South Africa. Before the nomination could be formally made, reports emerged about Mr. Brown’s close ties to a Nigerian politician, Umaru Dikko, who is accused by the present authorities in Lagos of having absconded with hundreds of millions of dollars. There were also accusations, vehemently denied by Mr.
