"I remember during the worst times of the
black uprisings (in 1985) and there wasn't .1 word
of it" in the South African media, Gelber said
Because of the? news blackout, white South
Africans often feel threatened by and are hostile
to foreign media.
"They're absolutely paranoid about foreign
reporters they believe are spreading lies about
their country," Gelber said."It's really an inter
esting thing about what happens to people when
they’re deprived of news and information about
what's happening in their own world."
Gelber said he has met this hostility and mis
trust of the media in dealings with his own rela
tives in that country, taxi drivers and even
"bright” South African law students.
Me said he was emotionally moved by a piece
he produced in 1985 on the people of
Mathopestad, South Africa, who were facing
forced migration to a homeland.
The white government had ordered this com
inunity of successful. agrarian ..pit; off to out*
of four pseudo-independent. internationally tin
recognized "homelands" a land most of the
blacks in Mathopestad had never smi hetore
"I'vt; done a lot of news stories and none ol
them affected nte nearly as mm h as this one
did." (ittlher said
f’.elber rei ailed the time he dined w ith sever
al white law students in Hast London shortly after
the piece, in which they asked him his opinion ot
South Africat
"I told them what had just happened, about
this village of really hardworking people who
had to gel out." he said "So I told them it was
about as close to Nazi (iermany as I would ever
want to get
"But the reaction was so interesting, it was
sort of like a bell-curve response Some agreed
that it was absolutely terrible, a few of them got
up and walked out. and most of them said. 'No
kidding, is that going on?’"

on E. 13th Avenue, then head
ing into the bank across the
street from his shop.
In recent years Mayars has
had a large world map posted
on one of the shop walls. On
the map are small pins denot
ing areas where visitors to the
shop have come from.
"Some of the local customers
were down on the University,
saying that students just come
and go out of town and don't
give anything back to the com
munity," Mayars said "My
idea was to shew that the stu
dents coming into the commu
nity from foreign countries
were doing more for the world
situation than all the diplomats
combined."
The map indicates that sever
al students from Norway have
visited the shop Mayars told of
one Norwegian customer who
was asked how the weather was
that day.
"He said. ‘Cod. it's hot!'
and it was only 70 degrees out
side.’’ Mayars said.
There’s hardly an area on the
map that isn't represented by at
least one pin. Even the South
Pole got a pin Mayars re
members a customer who said
he’d been stationed there on
naval research.
