Following the reports that prisoners families are being advised to leave the urban areas came a report in Post that the wife of Isaac MOTSWENI, now serving five years on Robben Island after conviction under the Terrorism Act, has lost her right to a house in the African location of Middleburg, East Transvaal. Mrs Elsie Motsweni and her two children may be obliged to leave the township as Mrs Motsweni does not qualify for a house in her own right, according to the Highveld Administration Board; they may however be allowed to stay on as lodgers in another tenant's house. This is the first report of Isaac Motsweni's imprisonment.
