Contents: THE NOOSE TIGHTENS • THE KNITTING TOGETHER • The mailing says South African occupation officials in Namibia have banned the May 12 and May 19 issues of THE WINDHOEK OBSERVER because they contained material held to be 'prejudicial to state security.' The articles are comprehensive reports by political editor Gwen Lister about the May 11-13 conference in Lusaka under the sponsorship of Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda among South Africa's administrator-general in Namibia, Dr. Willie van Niekerk; members of the Multi-Party Conference, a collection of political groups fostered by the Pretoria regime; SWAPO of Namibia - led by its President, Sam Nujoma; and various SWAPO allies united in a Patriotic Front. The mailing discusses Hannes Smith, Cuban troops in Angola, UNITA, the Multi-Party Conference (MPC), the South African Defence Force (SADF), United Nations Security Council Resolution 435, Rev. Hendrik Witbooi, Andimba Toivo ja Toivo, the Damara Council, the Namibian Christian Democratic Party, the Mbanderu Council, and SWANU. [Note: Toivo's name is often spelled Toivo ya Toivo.]
