The mailing says Mrs. Iris Magwaza, a close associate of Patrick Lekota's and District Organizer for the ANC (African National Congress) in the Southern Natal region, was assassinated "execution style" in her home on September 29. She was actively involved in coordinating the peace efforts between the ANC and Inkatha in Natal, and she reported directly to Mr. Lekota, the Regional Convenor of the ANC in Southern Natal. The mailing says the U.S.-South Africa Sister Community Project recently hosted Patrick Lekota in the U.S. He spoke at a Project-sponsored conference in California on land rights in South Africa and held a Congressional briefing on the same subject in Washington, D.C.; also, he received a Congressional Black Caucus award on behalf of Nelson Mandela. The mailing says people to send a fax to the ANC office in the Southern Natal region, which can be read at the funeral of Mrs. Magwaza, with copies to the U.S. State Department and the South African government. The mailing discusses Rev. T.S. Farisani, the United Democratic Front (UDF), Jeffrey Davidow, and Ambassador Piet Koornhoff. The mailing includes a short biography of Lekota.
