Contents: SOUTH-WEST AFRICA PEOPLE'S ORGANIZATION • AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS OF SOUTH AFRICA • The pamphlet says the South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) and the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) have been consistently and nearly uniformly portrayed by the Western press and politicians as "Marxist terrorists"; yet, as the material here points out, church leaders in Namibia and South Africa consider the groups to be authentic and in need of support in a just cause for which the churches pray. The pamphlet says SWAPO is recognized both by the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the U.N. General Assembly as being the sole authentic representative of the Namibian people. The pamphlet says the African National Congress and the Pan-Africanist Congress(PAC) were banned as illegal organizations. The pamphlet discusses the Ovamboland People's Congress (OPC), migrant workers, the labor contract system, Bantustans, "homelands", Herman Toivo ja Toivo, Sam Nujoma, U.N. Security Council Resolution 435, Robert Mugabe, the ANC Youth League, unjust laws, pass laws, the Communist Party of South Africa, the South African Indian Congress, the South African Coloured People's Organization, the Congress of Democrats, the Congress of the People, the Freedom Charter, Umkhonto We Sizwe, sabotage, Oliver Tambo, detentions, bannings, executions, the Soviet Union, Sweden, Anthony Lewis, the New York Times, and Zambia.
