The ban on Mrs Fatima Meer, sociologist and president of the Black Women's Federation at the time of her banning in 1976 has been relaxed to allow her to travel abroad. She has also been granted a passport, permitting her to visit Sweden to address an international conference, and Britain to receive medical treatment.
The ban on John James ISSEL, former SASO officer, was withdrawn on 1 September one month before its expiry. Mr Issel was first banned for five years with other student leaders in 1973.
