T H E nine serious inci­dents o f terrorism that have occurred in South Africa since the start o f the year can be as* cribed to the launching o f an intensified cam* paign o f violence by d ie A N C to mark ‘T h e Year o f Um khonto we Sizwe” -—.th e military wing o f the A N C .

Intelligence analysts in Pretoria told The Citizen this week that 1986 is ex­pected to be a year of in­tensified terrorism and vi­olence building towards the 2Sth anniversary of Umkhonto next January, s. The analysts pointed to lie A NCs 74th anniver­sary speech delivered by its president, Oliver Tam- bo early in January, thei quoting of which has been!

s anniversary warning of build-up

'authorised by the Minis­ter of Law and Order.

In this address, broad' cast on Radio Freedom from Lusaka, he spoke of the “urgent need to inten­sify and trinsform the armed struggle into a real people's war” — a deci­sion which had been taken at its national con­sultative conference at Kabwe in Zambia.

“TJie continued stub- boroess of the racist re­gime and its resort to ever greater and more brutal violence has made it a matter of extreme urgen­cy that we launch a most determined military of­fensive," be said.

“To help concentrate

our creative energy on the attainment of this goal, this day (January 9) Jn the name of the national ex­ecutive committee of your organisation, the ANC now declare 1986 the Year of Umkhonto we Sizwe — the People’s Army.”

According to the ana­lysts three landmine blasts and a number of limpet mine explosions at mb stations, as well as other attacks, can be di­rectly ascribed to the launching of A N Cs in­tensification of violence i-ampaign.

In the speech he called for a “mass political and military offensive" under the slogan of “every patri­ot a combatant and every • mnbatant a patriot”.

The analysts said Tam- bo had made reference to several im portant dates during his address.

These included the 10th anniversary of the Soweto student riots, which the A NC has declared “South Africa Y outh Day” .

O ther im portant anni­versaries m entioned were the 40th anniversary of the mine workers strike of 1946; the 100th anniver­sary of May Day, which the A NC has declared a public holiday in South

Africa; and the 30th anni­versary of the women's march on Pretoria.

Certain references in the speech, said the ana­lysts, also suggested that the ANC is claiming cred­

it for the work of o weto Parents Crisi > mittee (SPCC) whica iael ANC representatives in Harare before the i of pupils to schools oh January 28.

L»l EL vlag van die Suid-Afrikaanse Kom* mur.istisie Parly (SAKP) en die Jesus- bei'id het gislcr in skerp tcenstelling langs m tkaar gepryk by die begrafnis ».i:i twee onlusslagoffers by Attcridge- v.Iic buitc Pretoria.

Dit was die eerste keer dat die Kom- m^nistic-c vlag so openlik vertoon is scdcrt die begrafnis van vier lede van d.c I niicd Democratic Fronl in Julie tcrlcdc jaar by Lingelihle buitc Cra- tuvW

Desiyds hct die vlag - "n bloedrooi banier rr.ct 'n goue stcr en goue hamcr cn sekcl in die linkcrkanstt hoek - groot opshc guwek nadat dr. Beyers Naude, voorsitter van die Suid-Afrikaanse Raad van kcr«.e. 'n tocspraak voor die vlag gchou hct.

Twee man>. Mothupi cn Moima, is p.-tcr saam begrawc. Hul begrafnisse sou onderskeidelik verledc Saterdng en Sond.ig plaasgcvind het. m aar dil is kraeicns Veiligheidswetgcwing verbied c :--,d.it "J it die openbare rus ernstig sou verMOor".

Die begrafnis is dcur sowat vyftien- duisend niense bygewoon terwyl honder- dc polisiemanne in Casspirs en Weer- niaglede in mynbestande Buffel-vocr- tuic die strate gepatrolleer en op straat- kruising' gerccd gestaan hel. Sover bekend. *as dit die grootste polisieteen- »oordigcheid nog by 'n begrafnis.

Die begrafnis was nietemin sonder emge ernsiige voorvalle. Dil hct vir ‘n oomblik gelyk of gcwcld kan losbrcek nadat die Polisie die skarc in die begnf- ni>Ntoet twee maal moes bevee! om die

vlag van die SA KP cn ’n banier met die African National Congress (A NC) se klcure te verwyder.

Dit het gebeur nadat die stoet sowat 'n straatblok ver van die Anglilaansc kerk al dansende en singende in die rigting van die begraafptaas bewceg het. Die vlag en banier was voor in die stoet.

’n Polisievoertuig het skiclik van voor op die stoet afgejaag en stilgchou. *n Polisicman het op Engels en Afrikaans oor 'n luidspreker gevra dal die vlag verwyder moot word.

Nadat die dracrs na die eerste oprocp nic gehoor gegee hel nie, hct die polisic­man die bevel herhaal en bygevocg: "As julle dit nic self wil afhaal nie. sal ons dil vir julle doen." Die vlae is daarna opgc- rol cn die stoet het voortbcwccg.

Die begrafnis het reeds tienuur die oggend in die Anglikaanse kerk in Aite- ridgeville begin. Hoewcl daar aanvank- lik nic meer as vierhonderd mensc saam met die lykswaens by die kerk opgedaag hct nie, het die gctallc tydens die diens van sowat drie uur vinnig toegcneem.

Omslreeks halfclf is die banier van die ANC cn die vlag van die SA KP voor in die kerk ontvou. Agtcr die vlae en sowat 3 m hoog teen die muur hct ’n becld van Jesus sc kruisiging gchang.

A Leratong Hospital spokes­m an said that the two black men who were shot a t from a moving car in Krugersdorp are in a fair condition.

M r D aniel Sethaiso and Mr Isaac Mmolawa w ere adm itted to the hospital yesterday morn­ing with gunshot wounds in the legs after an unknown number of white men fired a t them from a green Mazda in the Krugersdorp suburb of Noordheuwel.

The advance party of the Com­m onwealth group touring South Africa to monitor the pace of re­form was visiting the township on Friday afternoon when they were stopped by police a t the entrance.

The m ourners said a police- m an pushed Mrs Caroline Sithole into a fire. When the commotion subsided she was rushed to hospi­tal.

Mrs Sithole (34), a mother of six, speaking from a stretcher in the casualty section of Kalafong Hospital a fter mourners took her there, said:

"I was preparing food for the mourners.

i Debate leads to unanimous decision

Krugersdojp still wants Munsieville township moved

Karen Bowes,I West Road Boreas

The Krugersdorp Town Council last night unani­mously rejected the Gov- « | nt’s decision to w Munsieville on its present site and demand­ed that it be moved a soon as possible.

The council's 25-year battle to move Munsie­ville was once again the subject of heated debate and it was unanimously agreed that it was in the interests of all parties in­volved that the township be moved to a more suit­able site.

This decision came during discussions on the proposed extension of the township and establish­ment of an industrial area around the township which would act as a buffer between Munsie­

ville and the adjoining white residential suburb, Dan Pienaarville.

Management commit­tee chairman Mr Bill Greyvenstein said in a report accompanying his com m ittee’s recommen­dations he was afraid the use of land to the north of Munsieville, as well as sections of the Oatlands and Waterval agricul­tural areas, for industrial use would give rise to further extentions of the township as a result of the new job opportunities which would arise.

BOMBING Mr Gert Visser, refer­

ring to the recent petrol- bombing of a Dan Pien­aarville house and the en­suing defence force and resident patrols in the suburb, said insurgents from outside the town- ship were taking the law into their own hands.

They were causing the council a serious embar­rassment and he was afraid the dangers in Munsieville would spread to white areas.

He said: “Be honest, none of us expected any trouble in Dan Pienaar- ville. We hav( to find a solution. Either the Gov­ernment must change or we must get the Govern­ment to change its policy.

“Blood is still going to flow in Krugersdorp and the council will have to take the blame.”

| PREPAREHe suggested the coun­

cil prepare itself for the eventuality of Munsie­ville having to remain where it was, adding that the council should go ahead with the buffer in­dustrial area and take step s to prevent more es- tentions to the township.

Mr .Visser said: “We don’t want a Berlin Wall, the matter has to be han­dled with great caution. All I want is the assur­ance that council is not giving Munsieville extra ground, although the ideal solution would be to move it.”

Mr Christo Pyper said: "Industrial areas imply other problems. If I lived in Dan Pienaarville, 1 wouldn't want an indus­trial area on my door­step, that would be just as bad as a black town­ship.”

Rev Arrie van Wyk thought the media had sensationalised the whole issue.

He said earlier this month the Action Group decided to go over the council and their local MP, Advocate Leon Wes- sels, by submitting a peti­tion with more than 10000 signatures to the State President, demand­ing that Munsieville be moved.

SPLITHe suggested that the

R22 million set aside by the Government for the upgrading and extention of Munsieville be split up — Rio million coold be used for housing and the remaining R12 million for further development in Kagiso.

Mr Chris Viljoen was adamant that Munsieville be moved. “Munsieville is a cancer and has to be removed. We must pro­tect our own white skins,” he said.

Council also approved plans to erect a fence and spotlights on the Munsie- ville-Dan Pienaarville border once the final out­line for the K17 highway between the two areas w as finalised .

Al die sudsraadslede het die besluit gistermid* dag op die maandelikie vergadcring eenparig aan- vaar. .

Did ingrypendc besluit volg kort op die bakke van *n versoekskrif wat deur meer as tienduisend inwo-

vanjaar te hervestig.Die blanke inwoners be-

ywer hulle reeds 25 jaar lank vir die verskuiwing van M u n s ie v il le .

Petrotbomaanvalle en op- togtc van oproerige swar- tes in die blanke woon- buurte verlede maand het die inwoners laat besluit om dringende stappe te docn om hulself te bevei- lig.

Volgens gister se raads- bcsluit “ eis Krugersdorp sc stadsraad nou dat die inwoners van Munsieville hervestig word in die lig van huidige omstandighe- de en 00k in bclang van die blanke en swart inwoners van die gebied".

K RU GERSDO RP — Die stadsraad verwerp die besluit van die Regering om Munsieville nie te verskuif nie eenparig en eis in die lig van die huidige omstan- dighede en in belang van alle groepe, wit en swart, dat Munsieville so gou as moontlik verekuil word. H ierdie besluit is gisteraand by die maandvergadering van die stadsraad geneem toe die Mun- sieviUe-aangcleentheid soos te wagte weer opslae gemaak het.

Die debat van sowat ’n uur was geken- mcrk deur emosiebelaaide toesprake deur die regsgesindes en beroepe om meer bedaarde en nugtere benadering van die ander lede.

“ Munsieville is 'n kankcr, dit moet verskuif word. O ns m oet ons wit vel be- skerm. Ons sal hom sowaar as die Here verskuif," het raadslid C hris Viljoen ge- s t .

Raadslid Arrie van Wyk het gese die stadsraad is nou moeg vir die Rcgcnng *c "eierdans” oor die aangeleentheid.

per. Nuw* nyw*»-hcidsdorp in die omgewing kan aanleiding ge* lot die verdcre uitbreidutg van die swart dorp aa g*volg van die nabygele* w erksgeleenthcde, fcet hy gesi.

• Die oprigting van ’» ho i heining tussen Mun­sieville en Dan Picnaarvil- le is gistermiddag 00k deur die stadsraad goedgekeur.

Die heining sal cgter cers opgerig kan word •©- dra die finale bclyning van die K17-pad bekend is en die pad geproklamecr is. Sprciligte sal 00k by die heining gebruik word om die gebied verder te bevei- lig.

“ Hulle praat van gedwonge verskui- wings. Elke saak het egter tog meriete. A s Munsieville voor Tuynhuis was, sou die Regering hom beslis geskuif he t," het hy gese.

Hy het gesi dis nie nou die tyd vir raadslede om opgewonde te raak en me- kaar aan te val nie. Dis 00k nie nou die tyd om Munsieville "a s platform te ge­bruik om jou eie idees of ’n poiitieke party se idees te verkondig n ie .”

Raadslid G ert Visser het gese die raad moet nou aanvaar dat die regering van die dag teen gedwonge versktiiwings ge- kant is. Dit is dus die bestc vir die raad om dit te aanvaar en te probeer keer dat Munsieville verder uitbrei

Raadslid Visser het ges* hy wil nie graag sien dat ’n groot muur tussen Munsieville en D an Pienaarville gebou word wat ’n “ tweede Berlynse skand- m uur” sal word nie. Daarom het hy die gedagtc gcopper om nywerhedc om die dorp te vestig wat as buffer sal dien.

David MalanK R U G ER SD O R P — ’n Poging van die Krugersdorpse aksiegroep om die dorp se LP, adv Leon Wessels, te misken m et die oorhandiging van ’n versoekskrif oor die venkuiw ing van Munsieville, het misluk.

In die versoekskrif — wat glo deur 10 300 inwoners van Krugersdorp onderteken is — word die Regering gevra om Munsieville vanjaar nog te verskuif.

Die ondervoorsitter van die grocp, m nr Willie Steyn, het verlede week op *n vergadering in die stadsaal gese dat adv Wessels gaan geignoreer word wanneer die ver­soekskrif aan die owerhede oorhandig word.

Di< week i> ’n telegram aan die Staatspresident ge- stuur waarin ’n onderhoud met mnr P W Botha gevra word om die versoekskrif te oorhandig.

G ister het die kantoor van die Staatspresident vir adv Wessels geskakel. Hy is meegedee! dat die Staatsprcsi- dent verwag dat die norm ale parlcm entere gebruikc hier gehandhaaf moet word.

Hy het ’n vcrteenwoordiger van die parlem ent in Krugersdorp. As hulle dus die versoekskrif aan hom wil oorhandig, kan hulle dit aan adv Wessels gee, wat dit dan op sy beurt aan die Staatspresident sal oorhandig.

Adv Wessels het gister die aksiegroep geskakel en gese sy deure staan o<>p om die versoekskrif te ontvang My sal dit dan m et graagtc aan die Staatspresiden t oor- handig.

By Rick Mkhondo

Although the consumer boycott in the Krugersdorp black township is to be lifted from the beginning of March, an­other boycott on council bottle stores and a cam paign to so c ia lly iso late councillors and policem en has been launched.

According a spokesman for the Kru­gersdorp Residents’ and Boycott Com­mittee, the bus boycott is to continue and a section of the township called Joshua Doore has been renamed Man­dela Village.

ENTRENCH He said the new campaign to social­

ly isolate councillors and policemen was an attempt to force them to resign “beer « they entrench the status quo”.

“Ii._i> id to socially isolate them we are not going to talk to them, greet t lem or even allow them in our shee- 1 ens or shops”, he said.

The spokesman said the boycott of Greyhound Bus Lines continued be-

"3 T Ucause “the management collaborated with the police to try and force resi­dents to use buses.

“The bus company has not moved an inch to accede to our demands. We demanded that they build shelters in the township*, establish a bursary fund and help im prove the roads in the townships.

“All they did was to send a letter indicating they wanted to meet us to discuss the boycott. We could not meet them because during the height of the boycott our leaders were detained.

“The last straw was when the bus company authorities distributed pam­phlets in the name of the workers say­ing if the boycott continued, many peo­ple would lose their jobs,” he said.

“The consum er boycott was very successful and the bus boycott is very effective. We would review our stand on the consumer boycott in April,” he said.

A section of the township called Riverside has been renamed Bimbo, the spokesman said.

'n Stewige traliehek vir die voordeur en diefwe- rmg is oral aan sy huis aangebring.

"Toe ons destyds hier huis gekoop het, het die stadsraad hand en mond beloof Munsieville sou sKaars se s m aande later verskuif word Dis nou al tien jaar en ons wag nog steeds,' se mnr Lambert.

"O ns is me m eer gerus me Snags maak die sw artes lawaai, diefstal neem toe en na die pet- rolbomvoorval wil ek nie meer my kinders alleen by die huis laat nie." se- mev Susan Lambert.

"Ek dink ook die muni- sipaliteit w as baie kortsig- tig om die blanke woon- buurt s6 ver te laat uitbrei. Hulle m oes tog beset het dit sou nie deug nie,” se mnr Lambert.

Vir die Lamberts is Dan Pienaarville eintlik ‘"n ideale woonbuurt”.

"Dis gerieflik gelee en naby die werk en vir die kinders op die skoolbus- roete."

By die Standrings se huis — ook in Gordon Greystraat, kan jy skaars by die voordeur uitkom. 'n Sekuriteitshek en 'n bul- hond maak seker dat jy twee keer sal dink voor juy som mer hi6r instap.

Mev Jenny Standring vertel hulle woon reeds

"O ns sal graag wil trek, m aar niemand sal belang stel in die eiendom nie. In elk geval raak 'n m ens na tien jaar aan jou eie plek verknog." se mev S tand­ring, ma van drie kinders. Mnr Standring is 'n sake- man in Roodepoort.

Sy doen hatfdag werk sodat sy “darem sm iddae tuis saam met die kinders is. Ek wil hulle deesdae nie m eer alleen laat nie.”

By die Bredenhanns se huis begroet twee groot te koop-bordjies jou by die hek. Binne vertel mnr Jacobus Bredenhann die bordjies is reeds agt m aande daar on niemand

"O ns het hard gewerk aan ons huis en het deur die jare baie verbeteringe aangebring. Ons wil me nou hier w eggaan nie. Ons eiendom is in elk g e ­val in die stadium nie veel werd me

"Ek sal nooit 'n goeie prys vir die huis kan kry met Munsieville op ons voorstoep nie. Wie sal hier wil kom bly?" se-vra hy.

"Ek wil nie eens m eer he die kinders moet buite speel of op hul fietse in die straat rondry nie. Ek is altyd onrustig,” sS mev Lambert, ma van twee hoerskoolkinders.

Mnr Lambert m een die enigste oplossing vir die probleem is om Munsie­ville "hier weg te kry."

"G 'n grensdraad of an-

“Ek kan nie begryp hoekom daar s6 ’n bo- haai gem aak word oor die verskuiwing nie. Munsie­ville is niks m eer a s 'n plakkerbuurt nie. Daar is feitelik geen ordentlike sanitasiegeriewe nie en ook geen skole nie.

"In Kagiso (die ander swart i woongebied buite Krugefsdorp) het hulle lo- pende water op die erwe en elektrisiteit. Die huise is ook ordentlike bak- steenhuise,” s§ mev Standring.

"Ek wil nie m eer saans alleen by die huis w ees nie. Al wat ek graag weer

"My moed is in my skoene. In die afgelope drie jaar het ons reeds vier inbrake gehad. n Mens kan me eens |ou plek alleen laat om n bie- tjie te gaan vakansie hou nie

"Ek is baie bitter en het alle vertroue in ons stads­raad verloor. Al wat ons kry, is beloftes — maar niks word gedoen om ons veiligheid te verseker nie,” se mnr Breden­hann, wat ook reeds elf jaar in Dan Pienaarville woon

“Bring die patrone — iis al hoe ons Munsieville rnei gaan wegkry." se hy ontstoke.

‘Skeidslyn’ fyn dopgcSTAAN 'n m ens op 'n hoogtetjie in die swart woonbuurt Munsieville, kan jy Dan Pienaarville se rooihuisdakke duidelik deur die ho6 tamboekie- gras sien.

Die tam boekiegrasveld is sow at 500m breed en vorm die “Skeidslyn" tus- sen die swart woonbuurt.

Munsieville. en die wit woongebied, Dan P ie­naarville.

In die middel van die strokie veld loop 'n teer- paadjie wat deesdae daagliks op 'n 24 uur- grondslag deur die W eer­mag gepatrolleer word.

Bo teen die bult uit en aan die bopunt van die

teerpaadjie, staan -n watertoring, vanwaar die W eermag 'n "uitkykpos" opgestel het sodat die strook veld, Munsie- en Dan Pienaarville met " n arendsoog dopgehou" kan word.

Die inwoners van Mun­sieville weet van die W eermap se doen en late

op die grense van hul dorpie — maar gaan nog- tans hul daaglikse gang

"O ns gaan haal nog soos altyd hout in die bos doer anderkant Dan Pie­naarville en bring dit huis toe. Som s loop ons som ­mer kortpad deur die veld — ander dae word ons voorgekoer en moet ons

m aar die lang ompad neem ," vertel Maria Ma- shalang, 40, wat a s huis- hulp in Dan Pienaarville werk.

Vroeer het Maria skaars 500m gehad om te stap van haar werkplek na haar huis. Nou moet sy byna ’n kilometer en 'n half stap tot by haar huis.

Die paadjie van Dan Pie­naarville na Munsieville is nou gesluit en sy mag nie m eer daardeur nie.

In Dan Pienaarville aan die anderkant van die “skeidslynveld" is Gor­don Greystraat stil.

4 — RAPPORT, 2 Maart 1986 ★

KINDER-SKRIKBEWINDNuwe klas swart man staan op

in SADeur JOHAN BOTHA: Johannesburg

KINDERS, party is skaars twaalf, het feitllk die beheer oorgeneem in die drie swart buurte digby Krugersdorp aan die Wes-Rand.

Op Krugersdorp self way die regse weerstand onder die blankes die laaste paar weke in die nuus.

M aar in die drie aangrensende sw art dorpe voer kin- ders van elf en twaalf, ja a r saam m et hul ouer m aats ’n skrikbewind volgens voorskrifte van die eertydse Rooi Chinese leier M ao Tse-Toeng.

S6 lyk dit in twee van tientalle parkies wat jeugdiges nou in die swart woonbuurte Ka­giso en Munsieville aan die Wes-Rand ge- bou het en in stand hou. Nelsonpark is langs ’n hoofstraat in Kagiso en word ge- reeld skoon gevee. Verskeie slagspreuke wat die "vryheidstryd” aanmoedig, word ge- woonlik in di6 parkies

gevind.Foto’a: HANNES REINECKE

Hulle hou straatblok- kades, keer taxi’s voor, hou die strate skoon en sS selfs aan sakemanne voor hoe hulle hul sake moet bedryf. Swart stadsraadslede lewe in vrees en waag nie om die “jeugaanslag” te keer nie. Die rade kan feitlik nie raeer doeltreffend funksio- neer nie.

Daar word al sedert ver- lede jaar oor soortgelyke situasies in ander gebiede gepraat, maar aan R A P­PORT is di6 week gese dat die situasie in Transvaal ne- rens so “ sensitief" is as juis in di6 drie Krugersdorpse woonbuurte. Kagiso, Mun­sieville en Mohlakeng, nie.

R apport het self daar met amptenare, stadsraadslede en kenners gesels.

RustigheidWat die eerste opval, is

die byna onheilspellende rustigheid en orde. Die kin- ders ruim rommel op, hou die strate skoon. Die be- treklik netjiese parkies heet Bikopark, Nelson Mande- la-park en “The Fallen Heroes” . Dit is alles die kinders se werk.

Die verklaarde doel van al hul bedrywighede is om daarmee te probeer se dat hulle doeltreffender as die stadsrade is.

Nadere ondersoek bring

ontstellende feite aan die lig. Aan Rapport is gese dit is reeds die tweede fase van ’n sielkundige oorlog. Fase een, die politieke bewus- making van die swart massas is reeds afgehandel.

Die revolusionere, Maoi'sties georienteerde elemente spits hulle nou met die hulp van die jeug toe op die mobilisasie van die massas. Die doel is die uiteindelike algehele be­heer van die gebiede, om hulle tot sogenaamde “be- vryde sones” om te skep. Dit sal dan totaal onregeer- baar wees vir amptelike in- stellings.

MaklikerVerskeie mense het teen-

oor Rapport bevestig dat waar kinders verlede jaar die skool moes boikot, hulle nou aangese word om skool toe te gaan. Die rede is dat dit vir die revolusio­nere elemente makliker is om hulle s<3 bymekaar te kry, te reorganiseer en die

Marxisties-Leninistiese leerstellings aan hulle te leer.

D aar is reeds berig oor die verskynsel van “volks- opvoeding” , waar die on- derwys deurspek word met indoktrinasie. Revolusio­nere stap eenvoudig soms klaskamers in en maak ’n politieke toespraak, is aan Rapport gese.

O or die bewerings oor wat in die drie woonbuurte aan die gebeur is, se die hoofdirekteur van die Wes- Randse Ontwikke-lingsraad, mnr. John Knoetze aan Rapport: “ Dit is die w aarheid.”

Die LP vir Krugersdorp, mnr. Leon Wessels, wat dikwels daar kom, se: “ Dis ’n sielkundige oorlog wat voor ons ontvou het. Daar word op ’n gedissiplineerde wyse georganiseer en nie- mand kan die aanslag keer nie. Die aanslag en die pro- sesse waardeur dit gaan, is ‘n bloudruk van Mao Tse-

Toeng se leerstellinge.”

Niemand voe' ^it waar- skynlik meer ai re lyf as die swart stadsraadslede in die gebiede nie. Nie een van di6 met wie Rapport gepraat het, is bereid dat hy in berigte geidentifiseer word nie. Hulle leef in voortdurende vrees vir hul lewens en is nie eens bereid o raA jil openlik te-'~ \d ie k itW fs uit te spreelk»*i.

MagteloosOp ’n vraag oor presies

hoe doeltreffend die stads­rade nog is, het een van Ka­giso se vooraanstaande swart leiers s6 geantwoord: “ Amptelik het ek en my kollegas nog poste, maar dis al. Ons kan nie illusies bekostig nie. Ons is magte­loos teen die jeug-aanslag.”

Mnr. M.B. Myeni, uit- voerende kommunikasie- beampte by die Stedelike Stigting, stel dit s6: “ Die globale strategie van die UDF-ANC-alliansie is om Suid-Afrika onregeerbaar

te maak. Daarvoor is se- kere gebiede nodig waar (ji< /olusionere die het in dW ..and het — die konsep van bevryde sones dus.

“O or die woonbuurte van die W es-Rand kan jy nie anders nie as om te er- ken: die stadsrade is totaal ondoeltreffend, die beheer 16 by die revolusionere wat die kinders gebruik om hul werk vir hulle te doen.

“ Namate die kinders al hoe meer aan die mobilisa­sie van die massas blootge-

stel word, leer hulle nuwe vaardighede. Hulle word daagliks sterker, beter georganiseerd.”

Oral dien ou motorbande as vreesaanjaende waar- skuwingstekens. Di6 soge­naamde halssnoere van die dood herinner aan die wrede manier waarop “on- dersteuners van die wit re­gime” soms met brandende buitebande vermoor word. Die parkies is byna almal daarmee “versier” .

En mnr. Knoetze vertel van ’n stadsraadslid van

Munsieville wat nou al et- like maande weier om uit haar huis te kom omdat die kinders ’n buiteband aan ’n boom voor haar huis opge- hang het.

Die direkteur van die Instituut vir Strategiese Studies aan die Universiteit van Pretoria, prof. Mike Hough, wat ’n kenner van revolusie is, se daar is beslis heelparty elemente van die Maoi'stiese model in die aanslag — maar ook van ander revolusionere mo- delle.

Hy se teoreties, volgens Mao, sal die jeugdiges uit- eindelik daartoe oorgaan om byvoorbeeld huurboi- kotte te bewerk en belas- ting in te vorder.

Oorname“ Dit sou dan ’n totale

oorname van die woon­buurte word. Of hulle daar- in sal slaag, sal die toekoms leer,” se hy.

’n Huurboikot is juis van aanstaande maand af in Ka­giso en Munsieville ingestel

en dit sal grootliks weens die totale intimidasieveld- tog van die jeugdiges wees as dit 'n werklikheid word.

Mnr. Wessels s£ blanke Suid-Afrikaners se hulle vcrstaan die swartmens en weet wat in die swart woon­buurte gebeur — maar dis nie so nie. Hy se daar is ’n nuwe geslag swartman in Suid-Afrika wat nie meer bang is vir die dood nie. Hulle is bereid om te sterf vir wat hulle as vryheid be- skou.

Polisie kan ’doodse vrees’ nie aanvaarRADIKALE elemente misbruik kinders om hul doelwitte te bereik,” se ’n polisie- woordvoerder. Die polisie Is om kontmen- taar genader na aanleiding van die gebeureaan die W es-R and.

Oor die vrees waarin swart stads­raadslede nou leef, is die kommentaar: “ Die Polisie aanvaar daar is ’n mate van vrees by stadsraadslede, gesien in die tig van vroere gebeure in die woonbuurte. Die Po­lisie doen egter alles in hul vermoe om

wetsgehoorsame burgers te beskerm, maar aangesien dit nou stil is in die woonbuurte, kan die Polisie nie aanvaar dat raadslede nou in doodse vrees lewe nie, soos daar be- weer word” .
