In a letter to a friend, the writer Mary Benson, Winnie Mandela wrote that her husband is confined to a cell with five other men. 'They are expected to exercise in their cells - they are not taken outside at all. No walks as they had on the island.' Mandela's cell, she wrote, is subject to flooding and sometimes itrinmates wake up to find punts of water on the floor. Studies, which apart from famlly'visits have always meant more than any other privilege, are now almost impossible.

ARMED LOGIC HAS Umkhonto we Sitwe, the titacy wing of the African National Congress, changed its tactics? After the car bomb attack on the headquarters of te South African Air Force and the Department of Military Intelligence in Pretoria (20 May), there were screams of outrage from the media in, Britain and South Africa alike, at the slaughter of 'innoCent bystanders', somle of whom were black. In fact, the majority of those killed were military personnel, and included a large number of senior ranking officers. Speaking after the attack, President of the ANC reiterated that the liberation movement's policy was to intenify the struggle and attack the enemy, avoiding civilians where possible. In the past, he said, the ANC had concentrated on the sabotage of installations such as railways and buildings. 'But intensification involves not just sabotage "but attacking the enemy forces,' he saidd. - Why does Pretoria fear its best-kowun prisonerp? WHY IS NELSON MANDELA so i pnortant?

That belief is based on my understanding of the Gospel view that all human being, are made in the image and likeness of God. I went to South Africa as a young priest at the age of 24 to studyat the University of Natal. A few hours after flying into Johannesburg I was having tea with some kind white Christians. 'Do black people go to your church?' I asked, 'Yes, they do, and they are very welcome, but they are very good, they always sit at the back!'

Whilst as a chaplain, I *orked among black people. t, like all white people, enjoyed all the power, privilege and wealth which are the fruits of a highly systematic application of racist policies to all aspects of South African reality. No matter how'much I protested to blacks that I abhorred racism, I still lived in my white suburb, attended a white univetty, sat on white benches, Wetlt to white movies, etc, etc. In 1976, I realised what had always been true, that the and army would shoot to kill .as often as they wished to, to protect my material interests as a white man - so much for my non-violence.

This is an invaluable book for looking at wuen's approaches to the questions posed by national liberation, and for relating these to the concerns of fesainism in the west. Third World - Second Sex is a collection of writings by women in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Although writings from South Africa itself arc not included, there are contributions from women in Zimbabwe. Nanibia and Mozambique. Many of the concerns of women in South Africa, and in solidarity groups like the AAM, are usefully refracted through comparison with Latin America and Asia. The collection is divided thematically with more than half the topics relating to questions of women's participation innational liberation. There are sections on politics and organisation, national liberation movements, the experience of a-ed struggle and reconstruction after the revolition. The second section contains witings on health, violence against women and women workers. Miranda Davis, the editor, is conerned to show how women in third world countries 'see glasing contradictions between the revolutionary principles of national and social liberation and a passive unchaleiigd acceptance of female subordination'. She comments that 'a new debate about sexism, racism, imperiahim and their relation to patriarchy is opening up'. But the collection illustrates the diverse ways in which these abstractions manifest themselves. For instane, in Zimbabwe, a younggirl acting as a 'ciimbwidp' supporter for the freedom fighter in no way challenges the accepted sexual division oflabour, but considered working within this framework her contribution: 'We were helping our brothers and sisters cooking for them, giving them clothing, doing the washing and everything.'

This view is criticised by Domitila Barrioa de Ia. Chungara, a Housewives Committee orgaiser in Bolivia: '... our struggle must not degenerate into a struggle against our husbands. They act like this because of the system that teaches them to think that way and to criticise women.'

'V LET'S FREE I A made efforts against all the odds to mobile women into the liberation struggle, and toep them see that their participation is vital not only for the liberation of the country but also to their liberation as women. In the early 1970s, women inside Namibia operated under difficult circumstances. Colonial and traditional laws imposed severe restrictions on their freedom of movement. This did not deter them, and women took part in illies and, demonstrations as active participants. HIDDENHIST( ONE DAY IN 1930, the women of Potchafstroom in South Africa's Transaal brought thewhole town to a slandstill. Not a single person reported for week; it was a spectacular show of women's strength and organising ability. Incensed at a new system of permits against which they had tried all the suasl petitions, deputations and protests to no avail, the women planned to disrupt business and see that no black peson reported for work. Their strike committee picketed the roads leading 'out of the township; two men who attempted .to ride through on bicycles were knockMtd off and sent home. 'Give us your trousers - we wt takeoff our dresses,' the women told other men who were hesitant. Then the women firmed the whole of the location, men, women and children, into a demonstration and marched into the centre of the town to see the mayor. You may search the history books for a record of this and many other spectacular events organised by South African women. With the exception of the 1956 Pretoria dtmonstration - too big to ignore you will find the records blank. Women disappear from the pall of history. For many historians - , female as well as male- they become invisible. 'Either their experiencewww.nuance.com and activities are not considered sufficiently important an area of research, or else'the presence ofwomen at particular historical junctures is simply not noticed.' need researcher wl seek through the Ir minutes, records ol but will dig out the older wosgn, befo There are many So women now living Europe whose reco recorded.

And for each group of women we shall have to organise differently.' This call to action, made at the annual general meeting of the Cape Town-based United Women's Organisation (UWO) earlier this year, is typical of the spirit of hardheaded and practical determination among South African *omen in the 1980s. They have a difficult and thorny road ahead of them. In apartheid society, women are treated schlldren by the law and by their husbands. Black women are exploited because of their sexbecause of their status as workers, nd because of their colour. It is an environment of oppression that is unique In our time, 'Women work in factories, they cook and clean for their children. Where will thev find time for rsor women rune. r o on n the basis of this record that women will emerge todayin the leadership Supermarket roles that our struggle demands. |have bee pa, Hilda Bernstein I distributive at organisation?' asked one UWO delegate. 'But', she went on, 'it is clear a struggle such as ours can only he won if we word side by side with our men.' Woman's groups inside South Africa, inch as the OWU, have established creches and evening child care arrangements to that women can get involved in political work. They aim to overcome another problem unsympathetic men- by explaining, to them why women should join organisations. The UWO .sees woen as women, but also as part of the community. It has spported the struggles of the Cape Townsquatters aainst evictions and forced removals by the police and authorities, and joined the boycotts of increasingly expensive commoditiesand services. These are, after ol, campaigns which affect women directly and in which they are more proninently involved than men. Lure aIIU rIe rxme ImUUsry. od and It has publicly rejected- totally-, the apartheid reglme's phony 'reforms', and pledged to support the rapidly growing and extremely widell based campaigns against the new constitutional proposals. It has been active in the campaign to save the ANC Six.from execution for their part in the armed struggle - indeed, Mama Mosmloli, the mother of one of the three young men hanged on 9 June this year, was A guest speakerk at the UWO AGM. . Again, this recognitions that women cannot fight in a vacuum, but must add their strength to the tidal, swell of united action that is surging throughout South Africa, is typical of women's groups throughout the country. The Federation of South African Women (FSAW, forme din 1954 by members of the African National Congress Women's League), for example, is one of the many orgamisations represented in the United Democratic Front, an umbrella resstance group that is emerging in South Africa at the moment and which brings together church, trade union, student, community and political groups. The same spirit of unity guides the Women's Section of the African National Congress. 'The struggle of South African women for recognition as equal citizens with equal ,opportunities is an integral part of the total struggle for national liberation... The challenge that this poses isa call to all South African women to step up the campaigns against removals, low wages, against increased rents and prices, for better houses, jobs and food, apat the loss of citizenship rights, against the fraudulent scheme, the break-up of famili and against all attempts to divide us as a people' (ANC Women's Section leaflet). In the armed struggle, too, women are reeruited equally with men into , the ANC's military wing.

For actio' to take place on the Namibian issue, it is not enough merely topass policy but lso nece-. sary to get the suiport of the rankand-file membets who wtsuld be at the sharp end in the event of such policies being implemented. Last September, SWAPO's Arthur Pickering, a former National Union of Namibian Workers organiser at the Rossing mine, met a generally very supportive response from trade unionists in many different sectors in the north-west. His speaking tour, organised by the North West Trade Union Anti-Apartheid Liaison Committe (NWTUAALC), was followed up by a meetingin December. Road transport: Meetings with lorry drivers and full-time and regional traisport union officials led to promises of information on Edmondsons, the cowboy lorry firm used to carry the uranium. Contacts were also made in ferry ports and depots and con tainer bases used by the firiidentified. Approaches were made to monitor- the lorries, and Lascater and Morecambe Trades Councils agreed to investigate Edmondsos further. Docks and ports: A meeting with the National Union of Seamen (NUS) activists in Liverpodl gave rise to contacts in south-eaptern portswhich in turn led to further meetings. The NUS have a general policy of opposition to the tragsport ofnuclear materias, and the Rossing issue fits in with this. The NUS national office reiterated the u-ion's support for members who "fuse to handle Namibian uranium, and activists agreed to the possibility of monitoting Edmondsons on crow-channel ferries. Contact was made with the Registered Docks Shop Stewards Committee who alerted CANUC to the possible containerisation (And hence disguise) of the ore. The National Union of Railwaymen (NUR) organises certain Ports. A Manchester NUR branch passed a resolution in support of the campaign, promising to sand it up the line to the Executive to get a blockade policy similar to that adopted by the NUS and railway union ASLEF. Minewoekess: The national office of the National Uion of Mineworkers (NUM) sent a delegate to the NWTUAALC's December meeting in Manchester. He explained the NUM's Transport & General Workers Union (TGWU) policy: Region 3 of the TGWU onganisd a wel-attended inter-usi on conference on CANUCin April 1982. in Bristol.

This followed an expression of concern, at this year's A M, over RTZ's operations in Namibia, in defiance of UN Decree Number One, and South Africa. The GLC pension fund is considering the withdrawal of its sares worth L2.5 million from RTZ. In the four-hour meeting, Anthony Tuke maintained composure with difficulty, determined not to hgve a repeat performance of lst year when the police were called in to remove critical shareholders.

Anl-Apartei News July/August 1983 Page 9 AT ABOUT 7.40 in the morning of 23 May South African Defence Minister Magnus Milan proudly announced that the South African Air Force had struck at bases of the African National Congresa in the- Moambican capital, Maputo. Six bases in the industrial suburb of Matola had been destroyed, he claimed, and a Mozambican missile site defending them had also been put out of action. What really happened? PAUL FAUVET reports from Mozambique. Mailan's story was a pack of lies from beginning to end. Planes of the South African Air Force hadertainly raided Maputo, but all their targets -had been civilian and few of them had anything at all to do with the-ANC. The planes (eight Impalas and six Mirages) had struck at five separate targets or sets of targets. Two planes had made for the 'Pettomoc' oil refinery, but were driven off by antiaircraft fire. Four others had shot up a series of houses in the residential sees of Fomento and Liberdade. Another two had struck At the nearby 'Somopar jam and tinned fruit factory. Two Mirages had made for the strategic bridge over the River Matola. Coming under fire from the Mozambican defences, they merely succeeded in burning down a htmble gross hut, and fatally wounding a Mozambican soldier. They flew on to attack a nearby electricity substation but only managed to knock down a couple of pylons. Of the houses attacked, some had once been lived in by ANC members. Faded ANC slogans, for instance, were visible on an abandoned outhouse, the roof of which had been grazed by rocket fire. Months, or years, ago this may have served as a meeting room. In the streets of UIberdade one ANC member, Fred Naledi, was mown down as he was washing a car. He was the. only ANC casualty - but that did not'stop the South African regime from ciaiming that'41 'ANC terrorists' had died in the raid. Other houses attacked belonged to prominent Mozasasbicans arid had never at any time been inhabited by ANC members: That was the case with the homes of the well-known sculptor, Alberto Chissano and the -direptor of the state advertising company, Francisco Morgadinho. Most flagrant of all was the case of the 'Somopal' factory. Here the creche was shot ap, its windows broken and its walls smattered with ,-shrapnel. Fortunately, there were no children inside at the time. Rocket fire tore holes in the walls of a corridor leading to the faetory bathrooms. Here three workers, eight months' pregnant Ana Regina Mutombene, Rosia Munamate and Xavier Marremisse, who were on their way to change into their working clothes, were killed instantly as ricocheting rocket fragments sliced into their flesh. How come the South Africans had hit something as innocuous as a jam factory?

ALAN BROOKS, who attended the Congress on behalf of the Mozambique Information Office, looks at ifs findings. The armed gangs of the MNR (Mozambique 'National Resistance'), which have destroyed over 1,000 rural shops and 20 sawmills, killed, abducted, mutilated and raped countles Mozambican citizens, and destroyed bridges, roads and railway lines in several areas, were described 'as 'Pretoria's way of waging undeclared war' against Mozambique. The aims are to sow instability, insecurity and terror, to paralyse the economic life of the country, to frustrate the efforts towards regional cooperation and developmenti and to instil in interational public opinion 'the notion that thereisan opposition movement in Mozambique, as an excuse for more widespread, open and direct action against our people.' An attempt by Pretoria to disrPapt the Congress by sendihg in a group of trained saboteurs with time bombs was foiled when they were caught near the border The new emphasis on defence and security in Mozambique has already led to a shake-up in the ministries concerned, with changes of ministers, new structures and the President himself taking personal control of defence. In a speech to officer-cadets -on 16 June, President Machel warned that the Mozambican people must prepare for war. The Matola raid, he added, had 'resolved any doubts about South Africa's intentions. It was clearer thanh ever that 'it is the apartheid regime that threatens peace and world security, that South Africa wants MOZAMBIQUE'S defensive capacity has improved significantly in the past two years. This was brought out by Sergio Vieira, until recentlywww.nuance.com Minister of Agriculture,when he made a telling comparison between the two South African raids on Matola, in January 1981 and May thisyear. In 1981 the South Africans came in trucks, but in 1983 they could not come in by road.

Another was undoibtediy to reassure white racist public opinion in South Africa that the government was capable of responding quickly to ANC attacks such as the 20 May car bomb at the air force head qartersin Pretoria. Botha and Milan had to be seen to be taking a 'tough' line. Since they couldn't hit the ANC, they did the next best thing and hit Mozambique instead. For this essentially propagandist tactic to work, it didn't matter much what the targets were, since the servile South African press could be relied upon to give maximum coverage to the wild talk about 'ANC bases' destroyed and 'ANC terrorists' killed. opened fie'. One of the racists' numerous propaganda claims, later 'exposed as false, Was that they had 'neatralised' a - Mozambican anti-aircraft battery. They implied that a warning in English, delivered by the squndron leader of the attacking planes, had effectively discouraged the Mozambican defence forces from moving into action. 'TheY wanted to attack the oil refinery and the cementfactory. But they couldn't admit they ran away from our fire,' he added, speaking to workers at the Somopal jam'factory. Tape recordings at the control tower of Maputo's international airport, played to journalists a few days after the raid, revealed that the waraing had actually been given after the raid, when the attackers were already on their way home. Ano ON THE other side of the continent Pretoia's programme of destablisation has also run into snags. The South Africans have been forced to admit that nowadays their jet bombers and reconnaissance planes can't approach within 25km of Lubango city in southern Angola, for fear of gettingshot down by Angolan defence units. In 1979, a vicious South African bombing attack on Lubango destroyed a furniture factory and other industrial premises, and killed a large number of Angolan workers.

Third World Publicstiu, 151 Stratford Road, Bi minan Bi IRD, prce£9,5.S IT IS in the nature of the record industry - wherever in the world to detach susic from ordinary people and sell it back to them as a commodity. Indigenous folk forms are becoming dim mefrory in much of the 'developed' world as the technological wedge is driven deeper between passive consumer and profesional music maker. Any musician who wants stardom (and how many can resist the lure?) most play the gasme or lose access to the means ofson& production and distribution. And the game these days means making asound that slips easily through the hultintional corporate mhachine; one that's devoid of all ethnocentric rough edges. Muff Anderman, in her excellently researched work, shows us that these perversions apply no less to South Africa than to anywhere else. Asin the US and Britain, record companies are run by lawyers and accountants, hype is rife, the charts are rigged, insipidity is rewarded with plaques and further investment, musicians are mugged of their talent by company hacks, radio feeds on and nourishes the bland b.. hut in South Africa the uglihess is one hundred times more so because iC is overlaid, with the (entirely compatible) machinations of Afikaner nationalism. In fact the trap set forsany African musician of integrity is extremely neat. If he or she wants to get recorded s/he must come up with a sound that will be appreciated by SABC state radio. For without ratio a play there are no big record salesno gig customers and no chance of international lift-off: international is practically a sacred incantation in South African music circles. I So whatitit the SABC appreciates? Above all, notes Andersson, it seeks to wed Africans to their tribal 'homelands' while imposing on them the notion of Afrikaner superiority. 'Thus, on the seven stations that comprise Radio Bantu you can hear songs of love, religion and nostalgia, songs about livestock, and mother earth, about the base nature of women and the rank dangers of the big bad city but never-unless it slips the net - a song with cultural or political bite: township slang, for instance, is forbidden. The trap extends to the form itself. Should a musician shun the internationalist modes of funk, pop and balladeeing where does s/he go? Mbaquanga is the rock'n'rol of the townships but will get broadcast only if it is first gutted of all meaning. By turning to tribal root, Andersson maintains, the musician is serving the government cause. 'It is part of a reactionary policy to encouragi people to look back to some mythical past to prevent them from identifying with the aspirations of ,the working class. Tribal symbols are not romantic ... they are being used by the state to mystify the structures of oppression.' Equally, any identification with music from black America - and there is plenty - is characterised by Andersson asa predominantly middle class, escapist activity. She also celebrates the astonishing vitality and variety ofAfrican musical styles, even though the exponents are being harassed and blocked at every turn. The outsie orldisalso beginning to fake7 note 'of' South Africa's musical talent. The key question now is: whose interests will this cultural spilt-out serve? If launderpd, 'multi-racial' pop music travels the world what sunny light will it cast on the sitution back home? AndreW Tyler.
