Contents: PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS • REFUGEE ASSISTANCE • EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE • RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS AND EDUCATION • FINANCES AND MAILING LIST • 1979 FINANCE REPORT • TRUSTEES • The report says Zimbabwe might be considered the theme of The Africa Fund's work for 1979; it was a critical year for the struggle in Southern Africa and it led to independence in Zimbabwe; the white minority of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) made last efforts to continue its domination of that country, but, ultimately, the unrepresentative election of April 1979 did not work in its favor. The report says unfortunately, no such progress can be reported for Namibia in 1979; South Africa consistently frustrated an agreement with the United Nations or with SWAPO which would permit UN-supervised elections as a step towards Namibian's independence. The report says in Northwest Africa, the struggle of the people of Western Sahara for self-determination has resulted in a growing refugee problem in neighboring Algeria. The report discusses Bishop Abel Muzorewa, medicines, medical texts, the Polisario Front, Richard Knight, George Houser, the Saharan Red Crescent, Umabatha, Fluor Corporation, oil, the Sullivan Principles, U.S. corporations, labor relations law, Professor Niic Wiehahn, the Wiehahn Commission, the United Nations Center Against Apartheid, Ian Smith, the Patriotic Front, the Carter Administration, Jennifer Davis, former Senator Dick Clark, the University of Chicago, Dumisani Kumalo, Southern Africa magazine, Namibia refugees in Angola, South African forces, and the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee (SAN-ROC).
