AFRICA Sensational admissions in new U.S. book
U.S. SPY CHIEFS IN THE LUMUMBA MURDER PLOT
Mobutu was "C.I.A/s right hand man"part played by the U.S.
Central Intelligence Agency in the Congo plot, which ended in the murder of Patrice Lumumba, is disclosed in a sensational book just published in America.
The book is “C.I.A.—the Inside Story,” written by Andrew Tully with help from top C.I.A. and State Department sources.
It identifies General Joseph Mobutu, military commander of the present Central Congo Government, as a C.I.A. agent.
'The Right Man!
This was hinted at by Edward Kennedy, one of the President’s younger brothers, in a broadcast a year ago. Now Mobutu’s C.I.A. ties have been stated categorically.
Tully unfolds detail after detail of the conspiracy that sent Patrice
Lumumba, first Premier of the Congo, to his death in breakaway Katanga.
Mobutu was the C.I.A.’s ‘‘right man at the right time,” Tully asierts.
President Joseph Kasavubu of the Congo also “sat at the C.I.A. men’s feet,” and according to Tully was following C.I.A. advice when he issued his proclamation “deposing” Premier Lumumba.
A puppet named Ileo was then set up as Premier but he and Kasavubu were no match for Lumumba and his popular support.
So C.I.A. man Mobutu took over as military dictator, Lumumba was eventually handed over to Moise Tshombe’s regime in Katanga and—to murder.
'Important Role'
Andrew Tully’s comment: “Brutal as it was, however, there is no denying that Lumumba’s death cleared the air and contributed to an atmosphere where steps could
be taken toward the unifying of the Congo.”
He adds that “the C.I.A. had played an important role” in the Congo’s “recuperation from over- indulgence in the excess of freedom.”
Tully’s disclosures come as Lumumba’s Deputy Premier, Antoine Gizenga, is in the hands of the paratroopers of the same General Mobutu, while U.S. interests behind the U.N. screen have achieved a considerable part of their aims.
A U.N. commission of inquiry has already named Kasavubu and Tshombe as people who cannot “escape responsibility” in the Lumumba case.
At the time of Lumumba’s murder, Allen Dulles was still head of the C.I.A. He is one of the top C.I.A. officials to whom Tully says he “owes a considerable debt of gratitude.”
O Tully’s disclosures give further emphasis to the demand: RELEASE GIZENGA, PUNISH LUMUMBA’S MURDERERS.

I KENYAHA GREETS S. AFRICANS \
I AT LONDON ANTI-APARTHEID PARTY |I • A London Letter, from Ros. Ainslie •T OIMO Kenyatta, now in Lon-
don for the Kenya Constitutional Conference which, it is hoped, will prepare for an African Government for Kenya, headed by Kenyatta himself, was the principal Guest of Honour at a reception held by the Anti-Apartheid Movement on Saturday February 24 at ^Africa Unity House (the ‘home’ of the
AMERICA
F red W right In the UE News“I said my employes don’t like me for some reason. W ash your
ears you stupid jerk !”
Committee of African Organisations, donated by the Ghana Government).
With him as Guest of Honour was Mr. Kwesi Armah, High Commissioner for Ghana.
Some 400 supporters of the Anti- Apartheid Movement crowded in to meet the Mzee (Swahili title of respect, meaning ‘old man’), among them streams of Kenya students who chanted ‘Uhuru na Moja’ (‘Freedom and Unity,’ KANU slogan) and sang the now famous PAFMECA freedom song.
Kenyatta was introduced to representatives of embassies—among them the UAR charge d’Affaires, the Indian First Counsellor, the Hungarian ambassador, and representatives of the Moroccan and Soviet embassies—to journalists. British M.P.’s and other political representatives, and to old friends of the anti-apartheid struggle such as Mrs. Eslanda Robeson and Mr. Miles Malleson, the actor.
Strangely M ovingHe then moved among the guests,
talking and acknowledging their cheers and greetings, a slow, confident, grey-haired figure, strangely moving, for, no one could forget that this was the triumphant return of a man who had spent nearly ten years in prison and exile as a victim of the colonial struggle.
Kenyatta spoke of the tide of African freedom, of the need for the youth of Africa to dedicate themselves to the freeing of the last strongholds of imperialism and to the building of a strong, indepen
dent United States of Africa.I spK)ke afterwards to other mem
bers of his delegation. Oginga, Vice-President of KANU and one of Kenyatta’s most faithful supporters, and Achieng Onyeko, imprisoned with him, were among them, as were many younger men who know South Africa well through having studied there. They talked with confidence of Kenya’s freedom, but assured me that they feel their most urgent task now to be to help South Africa and the other white-ruled territories of Southern Africa.
LobbyThe reception was planned to help
raise money for the Anti-Apartheid Movement’s campaign to follow up the recent conference on ‘Southern Africa, the Unholy Alliance,’ sponsored together with the Movement for Colonial Freedom and the Council for Freedom in Portugal and the Portuguese Colonies, with the aim of ending British support and arms supplies for the white governments of Southern Africa.
Already a lobby of the British House of Commons by some 30 or 40 anti-apartheid supporters has taken place against the provisions of the bill regulating Britain’s future relations with South Africa. The lobby protested against the continuance of commonwealth preferences on South African goods, and the assumption in the bill that South West Africa is part of the Republic, and demanded that all arms supplies to the Verwoerd government should cease immediately.

An Interesting By- Election In Tanganyika^ H E by-election at the Baga-
moyo constituency some 45 miles from Dar es Salaam, was re-won by the TANU candidate by an overwhelming majority over Mr. Zuberi Mtemvu, National President of the African National Congress whose policy is: “Africa for Africans.”
The Speaker of the House, Mr. A. Y. A. Karimjee, interrupted the business of Parliament to announce this result and declared Mr. Aziz (TANU) elected.
This is the second time that Mr, Mtemvu has been so defeated in the same constituency. On both occasions he forfeited his deposit.
Commenting on this result. Members of Parliament stated that the result reflected the strong unity in Tanganyika under the leadership of TANU.
Results were:Mr. Waziri Dossa Aziz (TANU)
... 3,207 votes. (ANC)..... 89 votes.
Majority ________ 3.118.At the last general election held
in August 1960, voting was as follows:Mr. Waziri Dossa Aziz (TANU)
.................................. 7.498 votes.Mr. Zuberi Mtemvu (ANC)
.. ........... 67 votes.Maioritv .................. 7,431
At this rate it seems Mr. Mtem- vu’s ANC will take many years to win support.

FATE OF BASUTOLAND REFUGEES THE BALANCE
MASERU.J^AST week the Appeal
Board of the Basutoland Entry and Residence Board heard the appeals of a number of South African refugees against the decision of the Board withdrawing their permits to reside in Basutoland.
Our picture shows, from left to right, Mrs. Maruping Sepe- repere, Mr. Seperepere, Mr. Nathan Molaoa, Mrs. Elizabeth Mafekeng, Mr. Ntloedibe, Mr. H. Masilo and Mr. J. “Anti- Pass” Khumalo in a furious argument over the proceedings with Lieut. Reiden. head of the Maseru C.I.D., who had just announced that the refugees would be ejected from Basutoland because the Government Secretary, Mr. Hector, did not regard them as refugees but as troublemakers. The Board reserved its decision, and told the refugees they would be informed in due course by letter what their fate was to be.
A feature of the whole episode ha.s been the policy of complete indifference adopted hv the Basutoland Congress Party leadership following the declaration of the President, Mr. Ntsu Mokhehle, that the refugees had “run away from their troubles in South Africa to sow confusion in Basutoland and attempt to take over

leadership from him.’’In a statement to New Age,
Dr. Arthur Letele, former Treasurer-General of the banned ANC, who is now Hying in Maseru, said:
“As a Mosotho, I wish to protest in the strongest possible terms against this action of pushing out those who, for good reasons, seek political asylum in our land. It is a most regrettable act, and thoroughly bad by international standards. As many of these refugees have escaped from exile in various parts of the Republic, this act of ‘delivering them unto their enemies’ can mean only one thing—long terms of imprisonment and utter frustration and ruin.
BOYCOTT?“Our action can boomerang
with serious repercussions. Many of these refugees are regarded in high esteem by many progressive countries in the world, for their gallant fight against oppressive racist policies which are condemned by civilised human beings the world over. By this type of action, are we not identifying ourselves with the hostile policies of the op>pressors?
“In these davs of sanctions and boycotts, what will happen to the scores of Basotho nationals studying and residing in many friendly countries all over the world? What if our little Basutoland gets included
I in the black-listed countries I such as South Africa, Mocam- I bioue and the C.A. Federation?
“The silence of nrominent p>olitlcal parties in Basutoland on this issue, is rather disturb- mg.
After Purging of Nquku
New Lease of Life for Swazi Progressive Party
MANZINI.i’J^HERE have been important
developments in the political affairs of Swaziland since Mr. J. J. Nquku was deposed from his position as Chairman of the Swaziland Progressive Party at the Conference held at Kwalu- seni near here last week.
# The leaders of the National Convention group, which was
recently formed as a splinter body from the S.P.P., came to Dr. Ambrose Zwane, the new Chairman of S.P.P., and said that they now felt renewed confidence in the Party, and wished to work in the closest possible harmony and cooperation with it.The Ingwenyama. Sobhuza 11, has had informal and fruitful discussions with Dr. Zwane and Mr. Macdonald Maseko,
Last season’s League Cup runners-up, Aces United, got their first shock too early in the season when in a friendly fixture they were held 2—2 by the second division club. Coastals, at the Clairwood Stadium last Wednesday night.
Coastals is the only fully integrated side to affiliate to the South African Soccer League from Southern Natal, and the second in South
Africa by virtue of Lincoln City having affiliated before them in the first division.
Coastals have six Europeans, four Africans, one Coloured and six Indians registered with them.
The above picture shows Aces United skipper, Lionel Homiel (left) ifieeting Coastals captain-coach, Reg Claque, before last week’s kick-off between the two sides.
BEREA THRASH LINCOLN CITY
Maritzburg’s crack Lincoln City were thrashed to the tune of 5—2 by Durban’s “giant-killers” Berea in the opening match of the pro South African Soccer League’s R2,000 UTC League Cup competition at Currie’s Fountain Stadium last week.
In a friendly curtain-raiser. Crimson League beat Burnicy 3—1.
The main match was labelled “a grudge” as it was the same Lincoln City that beat Berea 2—1 at the close of last season.
The match opened at a fast pace and this was kept till the final whistle. At half time both the sides were level sharing a goal each.
Lincoln opened the score through a good combinational play put in by their forwards. Dennis Vertuin, their crack centre-forward dribbled his way through the Berea defence to slam the ball in. (1—0).
Berea rallied and were rewarded when in the twentieth minute their skipper centre-forward, M. M. Freddie, ran free to even matters. (1—1).
In the twentieth minute of the second half, right-winger Royston
Matches gave Berea the lead when he headed in the ball. (2—1).
Berea scored three more goals in this half through Basil Peterson (1), Freddie (1), and Crowie (1).
In the closing stages of the game, Lincoln scored their second goal through their hard-working skipper, Chad de Lange.
Final score; Berea 5, Lincoln 2.-<s>-
£10,000 To PubliciseTranskei Plan
#CAPE TOWN.
A sum of £10,000 (R20,000) was allocated by the South African Government for buying space in British, European and United States newspapers to publicise Dr. Verwoerd’s speech on self-government for the Transkei, according to a statement in Parliament by the Minister of Information.
the new Vice-Chairman. He has shown himself keen to work together with the S.P.P., whereas in the past there had been an almost total lack of contact between him and the Party,
In view of the tremendous support and attendance that the Swazi nation has shown during the past week at the National Conference called by the Paramount Chief, this could be of vital significance for the future of the S.P.P.
SCHOLARSHIPSIn the meantime the S.P.P, has
been re-vitalised. Work is well in hand for re-establishing the educational scholarships and ibursaries for young Swazis in Ghana that Mr. Nquku cancelled when the young men concerned would not vote for him against Dr. Zwane. At long last true democracy is becoming apparent in all Party affairs.
Mr. Nquku, who had never allowed elections, and who was virtually self-appointed when the S.P.P. was formed in 1960, had, in the last month before he was deposed, taken all secretarial and financial affairs into his own hands, and the recent meeting decided that he had been behaving in an extremely highhanded fashion.
It was resolved that Mr. Nquku no longer had any right to make any statements on bchal of the Party (he is at present in London as self- appointed representative at the Swaziland Constitutional talks), and that if necessary legal steps would be taken to recover any moneys or papers that he had in his possession.
There were over 600 people at the meeting, the greatest number ever to attend a conference of the Swaziland Progressive Party.
