[n- formation. SOUTH AFRICA The Tetrace Standard, Wednesday, April 13, 1994 - B14 INSIDE SECTION B CITY JEFF NAGEL SCENE B2. . 638-7283 Election is her biggest trial Lawyer joins other Canadian observers TERRACE LEGAL AID lawyer Linda Lock will be stationed in Port Elizabeth while in South Af- rica. She is one of six Canadian law- yers sent to observe the historic Apr. 27 election in South Africa under the auspices of the Cana- dian Bar Association. Lock arrived in Johannesburg last Friday and should arrive in Port Elizabeth this week. The city is 400 miles north of Cape Town on the cast coast of South Africa, south of the troubled province of Natal, where numercus deaths have already been reporied in pre-election violence. Zulu factions in Natal have threatened to boycott and disrupt the election. _ Lock said Port Elizabeth is the region where Nelson Mandela grew up. “Tt isn’t supposed to be a hal spot,” Lock said last week before leaving. Although she wasn’t one of the observers who backed oul, she admitted feeling some trepidation about the journey. “There arc horrendous pictures on TV,’ she said. ‘*I’m just trying to be calm about it.”’ Some friends tried to persuade her not lo go, Even so, she added she was al- - most dissappointed — that - she wasn’t picked for cven more challenging service in Natal. There’s violence all over the world, she noted, adding there was a drive-by shooting in Ot- tawa while she was there for an orientation session with the other Canadian lawyers, It’s hoped the large number of forcign observers - present will help calm the process, she ex- plained. She said the observers aren’t supposed {fo intervene when something incorrect is happening during the voting, They’re just supposed fo take notes and reporl it to the ‘monitors, not interrupl. “We're supposed to just leave and get out if something is crupt- ing,’’ she added. Observers are even restricted in the colours of clothing they can wear to avoid the appearance of bias. ; Blacks, greens and golds — the colours of Mandela’s African Na- tional Congress — are Strictly prohibited, as arc whites and other politically sensitive colours. “T'll- be wearing lots of beige and neutral colours,’’ Lock said.
