When combatants of the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) attack South African hams, the army retaliates by shelling and attacking schools.

ACTION OFOR SANCTIONS New strategy Celebration for a goes for gold man of action A new international organisation, supported bySWAPO, the ANC, the AAM and the End Loans to Southern Africa (ELTSA) group, has been formed to block sales of South African gold. The World Gold Corn. mission aims to implement apartheid gold boycotts among consumers and governments alike. Sanctions against gold would strike at the heart of the apartheid economy. The gold industry provides half of all South Africa's foreign earnings and a quarter of the, regime's tax income. Yet the issue of gold has been largely untouched by sanctions pressures, mainly due to fear that any action would have the adverse consequence of driving up its price to Pretoria's benefit. Taking advantage of recent research, the World Gold Commission has now developed an effective strategy which will prevent newly-mined South African gold being sold on the world market without disturbing the operation of the maket. An initial focus of activity will be the Italian jewellery industry which buys 100 tonnes of South African gold a year (almost 20% of its production). There are strong indications already that sources of its supply will be switched. Jewellery retailers in this country will also be asked to stock ranges of non-South African gold jewellery. At a press conference to launch the commission, its chair, Peter Robbins, an ex metals trader and adviser to various governments and internation lhodies,revealed a leaked list of the members of a secretive organisation, the World Gold Council, which promotes the buying of gold. The list showed that though it purports to have an international member. ship, the council iseffectively dominated and funded by South African mining interests. The World Gold Commission has written t all non-South African members of this body suggesting they dissociate thesselves from it. The commission will also be approaching central banks and working in close cooperation with groups in Switzerland and particularly in the USA where new sanctions measures under discussion include action against apartheid gold. The World Gold Commission, c/o 13 Mandela Street, London NW ODW, Ccl 01387 7966. South African gold minrs - sanctions agains gald would hit the apartheid regime hard College bn Authorities at New Colege Oxford have agreed to ban investment in nine major British companies in South Africa, including Shell, Consolidated Gold Fields, BP and ICI. The decision folo.vs the launch of a new diatvestment campaign by students at the university which bas attracted widespread support. In May, a debate with Shell resulted in an overwhelming call for their withdrawal from South Africa. Two years ago, New College was among the Oxford colleges that closed their accounts with Barclays. Earlier this year the London School of Economica voted to disinvest completely from any companies with South African or Namibian operations. Student disinvestment campaigns are also currently under way at Exeter and Leed. Chain reaction South African fruit has been cleared from the shelves of major West eran retail chain Hertie and Kaufhof as pressure for sanctions increases in Europe. A Hertiemanagerclained that the store's decision to implement the boycott was a commercial and not a political one, but admitted that demand for South African produce had dropped. Hundreds of messages of congratulations and solida. rity flooded in from heads of state and from ordinary people around the world forwww.nuance.com Archbishop Trevor Huddleston's 75th birthday on 15 June. At an event to mark his birthday, only a few of these could be read out. They included the wishes of the president of Angola for the Archbishop's 'continual renewal of vigour. I hall the efforts you are making.' Guest speaker Oliver Tambo, president of the African National Congress, spoke of Archbishop HuddlestonPDF as 'a leading opponentCreate! of apartheid and a freedom fighter 5 in the activeTrial sense', and as great friend'. 'The ANC today is grate ful to him and there are no words to measure up to what he has meant and continues to mean to our people. 'In the '50s we got to know you as not just another priest; we saw something new about the way you understood your priesthood in relation to what was happening to the people you served.' President Tamb remindod the audience that at the Ehiptown Congress of the People in 1956 when the was drawn up, 'Father' Huddleston was one of only three people awarded the 'Isitwaisndwe' (hero) medal. In a video message Winnie Mandela called the archbishop 'a very special person to all South Africans of whatever colour. 'He earned our respect as one of our greatest freedom fighters in his own Christian way.I Shridath Ramphal, Commonwealth secretary general, described Archbishop Huddleston as 'the parish priest of the global antiapartheid movement, the symbol and ispiration of the worldwide campaign to end apartheid. 'Throughout all the years of Nelson Mandet's impi saonment, Trevorfluddleston has kept watch with him and has helped the wider world to keep that vigil.'

'SADCC Prospects for Disengagement and Development in Southern Africa Thisseletion of analytical essays o the economic and political strategy of the Southern African Deoelapoent Coordination Confer-nee (SAUCC) takes a Supportive but critical stance towards the orgon ation and its policies. The book is very detailed and designed primarily for economists and experts on the fine-tuning of regional integration in Southern Africa. This is not to say that it is not for these less well-versed in economics and integration theories. It prosents a wealth of wall. researched material on the variou sector of the ecomis of Southern African states that will be most affected by SADCC peltes, though if it has one failing it is that it gives too little space to the all-important transport sector. by Keith Somerville One of the arguments put farard bymany of the s eihbutore is thot the SA OCC is in danger of hecoming too closely associated with the western capitalist ecsomwies and of replacing dependence on South Africa with dependence on the Wet. They are undoubtedly carrest in identifying this longterm problem. However, readern should hear in mind the relative doner presented by South African political, military and economic hegemony and the longer- term problem of western economic dominance. The destruction of apartheid exploitation in South Africa should he seen as the firt step towardsovera l economic and political liberation for the states of Southern Afrire and not as the end of the SADCC's work. The most important aspect of the book under review is that it is an important addition to the existing literature onSADCC because it will start a debate on the strategy to he followed by the grouping.
