Under the emergency regulations the government should say how many people have been restricted on their release from detention under the emergency. However, in February the Detainees Parents Support Committee (DPSC) said that several hundred people had been restricted by the end of 1986, although only 76 names were known to them. The UDF said last December that a hundred of its activists had been restricted since June.
Emergency Restrictions By March the press had reported the restriction of 59 people and a further 14 unnamed. Nine more emergency detainees have been reported restricted on their release, in addition to those reported in previous issues of FOCUS. On 30 October Anne BURROUGHS (End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and Black Sash), Melissa DE VILLIERS (ECC), and Jean BURGESS were released from prison in the Eastern Cape and banned from participating in the activities of certain organisations. In November three Black Sash members released from detention in the Eastern Cape - Louise VALE, Priscilla HALL and Sandy STEWART - were banned from participating in Black Sash activities.
In February 1987 two women - school students at Krugersdorp and both pregnant when detained - were restricted on release. Penelope MOSETLE (18), detained in October, was released in February, several days after giving birth. Dorcas Nomvula DIKANA (21) was due to give birth when she was released in February. Both were banned from taking part in the activities of certain organisations, encouraging boycott actions and participating in 'people's courts'.
Father Peter HORTOP, a Roman Catholic priest detained for eight months, was restricted on his release on 27 February. He is banned from entering schools and from attending meetings of the UDF, COSATU or the Young Christian Workers, until 31 August.
A further 21 people were reported restricted by police orders in December. They include 12 unnamed ECC members, prohibited from participating in ECC activities; two UDF executive members, Azhar CACHALIA (national treasurer) and Ashwin SHAH, banned from participating in specified campaigns of the UDF and specified affiliates; two DPSC members, Audrey COLEMAN and Jill POINTER; Athene LOWRY and Jessica SHERMAN of Johannesburg; and Ismail MOHAMED, chairman of the Anti-President's Council Committee (APC).
Transkei Bantustan * A Catholic priest from the United States was expelled from the bantustan on his release from detention in March. Father Casimir PAULSEN, who had lived there since 1978, spoke when he arrived in Zimbabwe of being tortured in detention.
- Six friends and relatives of Batandwa Ndondo, a community worker killed by police in Cala in September 1985, were in March served with banishment orders by the bantustan authorities for a second time, after they had successfully contested earlier orders banishing them to a village in the bantustan. These orders, served shortly after Ndondo's death, had never been effected. In March four of the six were reported to have moved in accordance with the orders. Dumisa NTSEBEZA, a civil rights lawyer from Umtata, was banished to the Tsolo district, while three others, all workers at a bookshop in Cala, were each banished to villages in different areas - Victor NGALEKA to the Centane district, Meluxolo SILINGA to the Umtata district and Zingisa MKHABILE to the Nqamakwe district. The other two, Lungisile NTSEBEZA and Mondi MVIMBI, had not complied with the banishment as they were outside the bantustan at the time.
- Peter WAKELIN, the director of the Institute of Management Studies detained on 10 October, was released in March.
