April 5-7 British Columbians will have an opportunity to hear first hand about events in South Africa when two prominent South African leaders will be in the province from April 5-7 as part of a Canada-wide tour. Their tour is being sponsored by a broadly-based committee which includes union, church, student and community organizations as well as political parties and many -well-known individuals. The two South African leaders are Dr. Yusuf Dadoo and John Gaetsewe whose tour in B.C. is being sponsored by the African National Tour Committee, based in Vancouver. - Dr. Dadoo is vice-chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the African National Congress and has been active in the struggles of his people since the 1930s. He spent time in prison during the 1940s for his political work which included the Anti-Pass Campaigns, the Passive Resistance Campaigns and the 1946 African mineworkers’ strike. He also served on the national executive of the South African Indian Congress and the ANC in the 1950s. When a state of emergency was declared in South Africa in 1960 he was asked by the ANC and SAIC to leave the country and continue his work in exile. John Gaetsewe is European rep- resentative of the South African Congress of Trade Unions-which is obliged to operate illegally due to a -government ban. The apartheid regime introduced legislation to exclude African trade unions from the Industrial Conciliation Act and “in 1955 SACTU was formed, ac- cepting members irrespective of the color of a worker’s skin. As a result the organization and_its ‘spokesmen, Gaetsewe among them, was persecuted with bannings, arrests and jailings. John Gaetsewe was _ eventually banned, thus preventing anything ~ he wrote or said from _ being published. He then left the country to continue his work in exile.

BAG. ; JOHN GAETSEWE financial con : ane King gives on compensation VICTORIA — The Workers Compensation Act will be amended to extend compulsory com- pensation coverage to all fisher- men, provincial labor minister Bill King assured a UFAWU delegation which met with him on March 19 to urge implementation. of this measure. : The delegation — UFAWU president Homer Stevens, secretary Jack Nichol, business agent George Hewison and Fisherman editor Hal Griffin — reminded.King that: the NDP, as the opposition, had given its full support to the demand for universal compensation coverage for fishermen during the years the UFAWU had sought in vain to obtain it from the former Social Credit government, and it was logical to assume that the NDP, as the government, would act quickly to satisfy an obvious need. ‘“‘We’re working on it right now,”’ King assured Stevens. Asked whether the amendment would be introduced at this session, _ King said he could not commit himself. “Tt’s not as simple as it may appear,” he maintained. ‘‘There’s a great deal of administrative CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING COMING EVENTS APRIL 11 and 12 — April 11th and 12th at'7 p.m. Bazaar, Spons. by Federation of Russian Canadians.
