Homeland wins battle
NZPA Pretoria The South African Government agreed yesterday to return control of one of 10 black homelands to the local assembly and to reconsider a deal ceding the territory to neighbouring Swaziland. The agreement came in the form of an out-of-court settlement hours before the ; Kangwane homeland government was to argue its case in the provincial Court. The Government had tried to cede the Kang wane homeland and another section of border land, the Ingwavuma district of the Kwazulu homeland, to Swaziland. The Kwazulu government successfully appealed to South Africa’s highest court in August against a Government seizure of Ingwavuma before the land transfer. Yesterday’s. agreement overruling South Africa’s abolition of the Karigwane assembly effectively reversed the Government’s take-over of the Kangwane area, as well.
