Reports that second tiers 'suspended' for elections but continue to be paid ---- STAFF REPORTERS ---­ REPORTS reaching this newspaper at the time of going to press indic:8ted that the ethnic or second tier governments, due to be either dissolved or disbanded from April! foUowing the proposed implementation of Resol ution 435 on that date, would continue to receive remuneration. According to tbese reports, during a Medin g between the South Afr ican Foreign Arrairs Minister, Mr Roelof Bolba, and represtntativts of the ethnic governments in Cape Town this week, it was agreed that the authorities in question would be 'suspended' as required by the stipulations orthe UN Plan, but would continue to receive pay while 'not in office'.

Whites, who constitute less than a sixth of the population, earn nearly two-thirds of the income. Blacks, who account for nearly two-thirds of the population, earn a quarter. Nearly two-thirds of black people live below the minimum living level ofR350 per month as pioneered by the university of South Africa in 1985, the authors say. Apartheid is identified by the authors as a major but not the only cause of poverty.
