Families forced to move AFTER nearly three years of resistance to South African government orders to mace, the last members of the Bakhbung tribe finally left their 7O-year-old farm sear Boon, Transvaal, recently. They were asisted by men employed by the Department of Bantu Administration to demolish their houses and materials, which were to be used again, www.nuance.com The Africans and their goods were takensome 50 miles north-west to Ledig, near Rusteburg, where they joined other families who were maved in 196t. The families were given touts for shelter while rebuilding more permanent homes. The newcomers are livingPDF at one end of a two mileCreate! strip already inhabited by the first 6455 families Trial who moved earlier. Some of these families are living in corrugated iron shacks, and not all have their own latrines. Boys carry water in drum on donkeys for the people to buy. Accordir to the local surse, there is malnutrition among the children at the settlement, resulting in some pellagra. SOUTH AFRICA'S proposed new Bann. Laws Amendment Bill has aroused even businessmen from their torpor in the face of apartheid, as well as the moretraditional local protesters, such as the Black Sash and Institute of Race Relations. The Bill exmpowers the minister of Bantu Adthdniration to prescribe that no African lahour be employed in say particular area, or in any particular eategory of employment, or by Ay particular employer. it is also proposed to restrict even further, the places where African workers may live . The Bill gIves the Minister power to detain in rural settlements Africans who hove transgressed the pans law and power to subject them to forced labour. Mr E P Bradlow, a Johannesburg businesemar and past president of the Association of Chambers of Commorece. the Bill "draconian", and said its full Implementation would impose a stranglehold on South African industry, retard the country's econmic progress' and imposea "most damaging" lack of security on the Aftas lahoar force. Mr Bradow said "It is essential that certain tasks eow being performed by whites must be performed by Africans in the near future if there is not to be a breakdown. "it is quite obvious," he said, "that the effect of the new Bill will be not to decrease the number of Africans in the cities, but to transform the African working force into migratory labour. Lahour stability is essential if people are to bre trained to undertake mace sophisticated week". The Federated Chamber of Indestrieu is making representations to the Minister about the Bill. The Black Sank says the Billis concerned with "power, naked and unaahamed . . . This grotesque Bill is themostcydcnisbversion of human beings into labour units that Nationalist peer has ever produced... It creates slave lahour". The Institote of Race Relations said: "The introduction of this form of utimited job reservation at the behest oftheMinister, . .isso dictatorial and so far-reaching is its potential magnitude that it dwarfs all previous inroads - and they have been many -on what are commonly regarded as the basic tenets of modern government. It ostitutesgronsisterference with the rights of employers and stripe African workers oi such meagre security as had been left him. The Institote views with alarm and dismay the introduction of this new and retraressive power oftotal constraint." 'Appendages' must leave IN SPITE of the Transkei's inability to support even its existing population, the South African Government is likely to intensity its policy of sending Africans living In urban areas home. A blunt speech fromSouthAfrica's deputy minister of Justice, Mines and Planning, G.F. van L. Fronemuan made this plain, despite the nervous tremor that his colleagues suffered when they readitrecently. Froneman, referring to Africans legally living in urban towuships, said that wives, chldred, the aged and the idle would have to go to the rural areas. This means that some 3.8 million Africans would have to be shifted, leaving only able-bodied men and single women in urban areas. He saldthere woa no real obtigation o the whie state to prepare the 'baninstns' for the superfluou' Africans who would be 'repatriated becase they were actually illegal alies in the white homelands". In fairness, however, the Government would shoulder the financial burden and resettle the "appendages" (dependents of African breadwinners) with as little dis ruption as possible. "We cannot, however, become soft-hearted and allow ourselvesto be influenced in our policy by the hypersensitivity of the consciences of our drawing-ream politicians", he said. Earlier this year, Froseman said that "petty apartheid" was essential to carry oat Rationalist policy". Bid to end hanging fails PROGRESSIVE MP Mrs Helen Suzsn has failed in her bid to have the death pr aty abolished is South Africa, despite spport from mary of the country's leading jurists. Mrs Szman was initially only asking for an inquiry, bat even this was tsrned down by Parliament.

' 'People far the abolition of the death penalty will result in thouuands of nswhites, overcome by their primitive instincts murdering us in our beds.

Rob rt Ellsworth, assistant to the President, wrote to Mr Homer that the US was obliged to obeerve' the agreement um it ceases to be effective. Mr Homer proposed three forms of action t the Congressional committee. He said firstly that it lay wthtnthe President's powers to revoke the agreemeat if It is found set to he in the beat iatereat of the United States.
