Rage 8 Portland Obaarvar, September 28,188* S.Africa continues to evict Black farmers Blacks continue to be forceably removed from the communities and farm s in South A fric a ’ s ongoing polit y of apartheid. Louis Freedberg, Pacific News Service Associate Editor reported in “ Africa 'news**, after visiting South A fric a , that Black areas (called “ black spots'* by the government) “ face removal simply because they lie within the 87% o f South A frica set aside exclusively for whites, who make up less than 20% of the coun try's population.“ Contrary to deeds signed by Black landholders over 70 years ago, the government, sinde 1948, has taken title to the land, evicted the residents and then sold it to whites. W hile D eV illiers M o rriso n, deputy minister o f the government department carrying out the reset tlem ent defends the act as a necessary protection o f the Blacks from, “ horribleconditions... not fit for human habitation,” resistance supporters say the millions of South A fric a n Blacks already displaced face starvation, unemployment and generally terrible living conditions. Describing the areas being con fiscated from Blacks as quite “ viable economies**, A nika Claasen. organizer fo r the white liberal organization, Black Sash, M id , “ There is still considerable farming activity and residents can find work nearby. “ To ihe people concerned, removal seems absolutely bizarre, because they live in very beautiful, very productive areas, very peacefully.** Black com m uni’ ies resisting government demand! ake great risk. A community leader was shot and killed whik resisting last April. That has caused threatened community members to shy away from demon strations o f passive resistance. The government prefers to use less obvious coersion says M r. Freedberg Subtler tactics include, "cutting o ff the water supply and transp o rtatio n, or demolishing schools and clinics, in the hope that conditions w ill become so in tolerable that people will be forced to leave on their own.
