A former member of the Black Community Programmes (BCP) Nimrod MKELE was arrested in the Transkei on 30 November and held for a month by the security police.
Mr Mkele visited Transkei to investigate the confiscation of property belonging to the BCP and other organisations banned by the Transkei. On his release he was 'deported' from the territory for "involving himself too much in politics"
In January a Daily News reporter Peter HONEY was detained by Transkei security police in connection with an article he had written suggesting that the Transkei Attorney-General G.B. Muller would be dismissed because his views were considered too liberal. The Police Commissioner was quoted as saying that Mr Honey would be held "until he talks"
