Firm stand on apartheid
(N.Z.P.A. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK.
, South African sports teams would not be allowed to enter New Zealand unless they represented a sport in which apartheid was not practised, said the Associate Minister of Foreign Affairs (Mr Walding) to the United Nations General Assembly. New Zealand, he said, would continue its stand on sporting contacts with South Africa and “stands solidly with the world community in rejecting the policy of apartheid.”
Mr Walding said New Zealand would contribute more than SUS2OO,OOO over a two-year period to a joint project with a United Nations agency. The aim of the project was to provide humaniitarian assistance through 'liberation movements to tens iof thousands • of displaced 'people from Southern Rho- ! desia, Namibia and Angola who were living in Zambia. “This money is given to supply drugs, vaccines, highprotein food supplements, agricultural tools and educational aid.”
