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.
