Inhoud en structuur

Bereik en inhoud

This issue covers political trials, mass arrests, detentions, and state violence in South Africa, Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), and Namibia. In Zimbabwe, the internal settlement and continued guerilla warfare, political executions, and detainee releases are detailed. In Namibia, following the assassination of Chief Clemens Kapuuo, numerous SWAPO leaders were detained, armed clashes occurred, and new emergency laws were enacted. In South Africa, major ANC trials (including the Pretoria Twelve), the sentencing of Solomon Mahlangu, and police torture are reported. Other topics include labour unrest, teacher strikes, apartheid legislation, and education repression.
