LY From .Joe LOl1w TANG ANYIKA TO TI GHTE --- ---- --- -- -- - S IAl TRADE BOYCOTT DAR ES SALAAM. TANGANYI KA Federation of Labour's strong man Mr. A. C. A. Tandau has moved two st rong resolutions aimed to put an end to the last r emaining vestiges of tr ad e with South Africa. He has resolved to ask the govern- I ment (I) to introduce legislation banning individuals and firms who persist in buying South African pro- ducts from Kenya; (2) to ban from Tan ganyika ports ships which carry South African goods. In addition Mr. Tandau warned that South African and Portuguese expatriates who support the policies of their governments will be ex- pelled from Tanganyika. He also suggested heavy penalties and long jail terms for those caught contra- vening such legislation. Says Mr. Tandau: "Although it will be difficult finding out such persons, they will be found. Already there are some in the mining companies." WARNING TO TRADERS This strong statement follows a warning given to traders by a com- missioner of the No rthern region, Mr. Edward Barongo. Earlier this month Mr. Barongo gave traders an ultimatum to dispose of their S.A. stocks within two months. "I stand by my previous state- ment of the boycott of South Afri- can goods," he told the Arusha Chamber of Commerce this week, "and I repeat that if I find these goods continuing to be available I shall have no alternative but to ask the government to take action against the offenders." -,o n .....

As stated in New Age (May I I),there was a dispute between theworkers of Na tional Cold Storageand the employers. I now have thepleasure to inform your readersthat the workers have won onemore victory"

It has been announced fromthe manager's office through theworkers' spokesman, that all theworkers who have completed sixmonths and upwards will havetheir wages increased by 50 cents.

Despite this increase the majo­rity of the workers will still beear ning wages at subsistence level.

The majority of the workershave suggested it should be ac­cepted and regarded as anothermilestone in their struggle forhigher wages and better treatment.Some have suggest ed it should betotally rejected.

Pr ior to the announcement ofthis increase. the spokesmen of theworkers tried to have a meetingwith the brother of the boss. Herefused to have an ~ thing to dowith them and pushed them outof his office. He demanded ameeting with only on e of them thefollowing day. Then the announce­ment of this increase was madethrou gh him.

(2) Why is it that his kraal andthe kraals of his sub-headmen,especially those at Cala, are underarmed guard day and night?

(3) Why is it that w~en he wasbeing installed as a chief of Ca lathe people did not attend?

(4) Who signed his le.lter ofappointment as a chief-thepeople or an official of the BADdepartment?

(5) Why was a letter of appoint­ment necessary at all?

I may further state that a fewsons of Cala had to pay heavyfines because they refused to ~e­cognise Matanzirna as a chiefthere. A good number of them

The lady teacher was sacked be­cause of her alleged unpleasantattit ude towards the children ofMatanzima's stooges.

Mr. Tsako came to Port Eliza­beth in 1946. After his acquittal theLabour Bureau refused to issue himwith a work-seeker's certificate. In­stead he was endorsed out of thearea. Some of his documents wereimpounded at the Labour Bureau,and others by the BAD.

On his release from jail, thesecond man, Mr. Tinge, was re­quired to approach his previous em­ployers for work, but they had novacancies. The Labour Bureau wasnot prepared to issue him with apermit to seek other work of hisown choice. but channelled him tothe harbour to load manganese.

DELGADO SACKS

GALVAO

Antoine Gizenga

IT WAS PLAIN THAT IM­PRISONMENT HAD FAILEDTO BREAK THE FIGHTINGSPIRIT OF THE FAITHFULSON OF THE CONGOLESEPEOPLE, THE STAUNCHFIG HTER FOR THE FREE­DOM AND. INDEPENDEN CEOF THE REPUBLIC.

Gizenga warmly bade us fare­well and again asked us to tell thetruth about his position. This tr ipand the talk with Gizenga whichlasted more than an hour clearlyrefules the claims of certain om­cial spokesmen and the reaction­ary press about the "lawfulness'of Gize nga's arrest and the "hu­mane" treatment of this outstand­ing patriot of the Congo.

LONDON.General Delgado. the leader of

the Movimento Nacional Indepen­dente against the Salazar regimein Portugal, has expelled his chieflieutenant. Captain Enr ique Gal­vao. Captain Galvao was the or­ganiser of the kidnapping of theship Santa Maria last year.

General Delgado says that Gal­vao is dividing the opposition toSalazar hy saying that the move­ment relics on Communist sup­port. Galvao is at present inAmerica trying to get money toform a new Portuguese oppositionparty. and is to speak at theUnited Nations on Portugal at theinvitation of the American Com­mittee on Africa,

Mr. Antonio de Figuerredo.who replaces Galvao as Secretaryfor Overseas Affairs of the M.N.!.here in London, said: "We havenever denied that the oppositionto Salazar enjoys Communist sup­port. We accept it in the tightagain<;t fascism."

tary democratic rights and ofparliamentary immunity. I de­mand to be immediately given achance to face the parliament andanswer to it and to tbe people ofthe Congo."

During the conversation Gizen­ga was calm as usual. He jokedover the "touching" concern ofthe guards, thanks to whom hehas grown a beard. He is notgiven either a razor or scissors.He was cheerful and bold. Hevoiced his indignation to Matuberegarding the attitude of the au­thorities towards him.

"ANSWER THEPEOPLE"

GR;~~i~;.LYGiz~n~~t ~net:a~o~~ask us about the latest events inthe country and outside it. Theofficers and soldiers standingaro und listened to the conversa­tion very attent ively, eagerlycatching every word.

A faint smile of approvalappeared on their lips when Gi- ---------­zenga expressed indij:natioD overthe fact that the city of Kongolo(North Katanga) that had beenliberated under bis command bythe soldiers of the CongoleseNational Army from the Katangagendarmes, had again been handedover to Tshombe.

During the conversation. Gizen­ga resolutely denied the rumoursspread by certain officials that he"himself asked to be permitted totake a rest in Moanda."

" When Gizenga asks you for arest," said Gizenga to Mobutu,"you send him to Bolabemba, thisswampy, mosquito-ridden islandand call it a resort. I do not knowwhere you will send me tomorrow,may be to the Portuguese," hesaid pointing in the directionwhere th.: forest-covered Angolashore was visible beyond the river.

'T he contention that I am welloff," said Gizenga, "is a lie pureand simple. How can a manthrown without trial or investiga­tion, without any reason, to anisland isolated from the outerworld, be well off?"

When I asked Gizenga whatwould he like to convey throughthe press to public opinion, he re­plied: "Tell the world that I re­gard the attitude towards me as aniniquity, as a violation of clemen-

to receive newspapers, listen to theradio, etc. Gizenga said: "Form­ally, this was promised to me.Practically, all my letters to theUnited Nations and other organi­sations remain unanswered. Fromthis I conclude that they do notreach their destination. I do notthink that such methods of thesecurity service are legal andcorrect. I have a full right to cor­respondence as an individual andas a member of parliament.

" I am allowed to take walksbut I do not want to make anytrouble for the ordinary people inthe vicinity and refrain from tak­ing walks."

Gizenga hinted that local resi­cents displayed great interest andsympathy with him, which wasresented by the guards and theauthorities.

As usual Gizenga spoke quietlyand With reserve, Only when hespoke about his relatives did hisvoice seem agitated and indignant.

"What else but deception," hesaid, turning to Matube, assistantchief of the security service, pre­sent at the conversation, "can onecall the attit ude of the authoritie sto my request for a meeting withmy mother and wife. Why, it maybe asked, have my wife andchildren been recalled from Eu­rope where they lived securely?[Gizenga' s wife and children werein Yugoslavia.] All of them, mywife and my oId mother, weredeceived by promises that theywould be allowed to be near meand would be given the opportu ­nity of looking after me. Whythis deception? Now they have nomeans of a livelihood.

"Despite the promises they arcnot allowed to see me even forshort meetings. They do not re­ceive IIU'pay from parliament andI have no money in the bank, assome do. Instead of books," hesaid, "the head of the securityservice, Nendaka, sent me theMobutu magazine RearmamentMoral which I do not need at all."

GI~~~G1 ~~tllu~~~ :o;~::~ei~from you, he said, that this visitpuzzles me because 1 have alreadybecome accustomed to the posi­tion of a prisoner, and the attitudeof the authorities and the guardswas such that I did not think thatany visits were possible.

When asked about his health,Gizenga replied with bitterness: " Ithink it is no use speaking aboutmy health. You can hardly helpme. A medical commission hadbeen here and my condition iswell known to it. I am surprisedthat despite the promises of theofficial authorities no doctors havebeen allo wed to see me for morethan a month, and my personalphysician. I learned, was arrested,but I do not know why.

"My request to send a doctorto me remained unanswered.Specia l conditions have been cre­ated to prevent him from coming,"

I asked Gizenga whether anyofficial charges have been broughtagainst him.

" No charges have been pre­sented to me to this day," he saidfirmly.

"My parliamentary immunityhas be~n crudely violated. I amaccused of something and I wouldl i k~ to reply to these accusationsbefort: the body to which I haveI:>een elected by my people, I wantone thing only-to face the parlia­ment anJ answer before it, so thatthe Congolese and internationalpublic 11pinion itself should judgewhether I am guilty or not. I wasthrown into the strategic Bolabem­ba hase. I consider this to be un­lawful and protest against this. Idemand that charges be presentedagainst me and considered."

Asked whether he is permittedto maintain any contacts with theouter world, with relatives, friends,

Accompanied by leadingmembers of the security ser­vice a reporter of a Londontelevision firm and I flew toMoanda, a resort village onthe Atlantic coast, near theCongo estuary, and fromthere we sailed to Bolabemba.

Escorted by a group of officersand men we went to the bousewhere G izenga was detained. Onone side of the road flowed ariver, and on the other stretchedimpassable swamps. Closer to thehouse the road turned into a by­street. The soldiers of the localgarn son, their wives and children ,gazed with amazement and CUriO­sity at the white people, a rar ityhere.

A single-storey house stood ina small clearing with several sen­tries at the entrance. The glazedporch around the central part ofthe house was solidly entwinedwith barbed wire on the inside. Atthe entra nce stood the cot of thesentry covered with a mosquitonet.

We were taken to a small roomwith two cots-one belonging toGizcnga, the other to a sentry.Antoine Gizenga was sitting at 11small table.

The All People's Congress.allied with the Progressive Inde­pendence Movement, won 20 seats-19 more than they had in theold House of Representatives.

But Premier Sir Milton Margaiand his Sierra Leone Peonle'sParty held 28 seats, and 12 Mem­bers elected as "independents"have now declared they are memobers of his party.

Canon Collins and Earl Russellare both undeterred by this threat.which 'Canon Collins has saidreally stems from his leadershipof the Campaign for Nuclear Dis­armament.

Further evidence of the determi­nation of the right-wing Labourleaden to crush the CND is therefusal of the Party's NationalExecutive to endorse the Parlia­mentarv candidature of Mr. IIItydHarrington who had been selectedas their candidate by the DoverLabour Party.
