) Johannesburg (JTA) — The
International Council of
Jewish Women held its 16th
triennial convention here
> this week, the first interna-
tional Jewish conference to
be held in this country since
apartheid laws were largely
repealed.
Helen Suzman, a Jewish
opponent of apartheid who
> spoke out against white-
minority rule in her many
years in the South African
Parliament, welcomed con-
' ference delegates and talked
of the nation's dramatic
transformation.
First-time visitors to this
country could "witness at
close quarters the transfor-
mation of South Africa from
an authoritarian regime, de-
termined to maintain
minority white domination
at the tip of the African con-
) tinent, to a non-racial
democracy," said Ms. Suz-
man, holder of the honorary
Dame of the British Empire
award for her struggle
against apartheid and for
human rights.
The Union of Jewish Wo-
\ men of South Africa, which
/ hosted the convention, said
the meeting was significant
because Jewish groups, as
) well as other organizations,
had shunned South Africa
for decades because of its
white-minority apartheid
' regime.
Delegates from around the
world listened to the keynote
speaker discuss the process
by which South Africa has
been led to end apartheid
and describe what
challenges still remain
ahead.
"The causes of the decision
to transfer power are to be
found in economic factors at
home and abroad, and in the
escalation of black
resistance in South Africa,"
Ms. Suzman said.
She also reviewed the ne-
gotiating process and its set-
backs, in particular the
spates of violence that have
beset the country.
"It is no exaggeration to
say that the escalation of
violence — political — as the
different factions strove for
power; and criminal — as
unemployment increased —
has become the predominant
obstacle affecting the transi-
tional arrangements," she
said.
Regarding the Jewish
community, Ms. Suzman
said many Jews had left in
past years to protest apar-
theid and that many con-
tinue to leave out of fear.
