BUT THE C avoids the
term "affirmati ct.ion" and i
I de will not di quo
for fear of alienating hite
South Africans ho, with unem­
ployment rising, al dy grum­
ble about Black claims to jo .
Without quo ho ever, it
may be difficult to quickly undo
the employment disp riti that
put th civil moe in the handa
of whites. The ruling National
Party, which i tituted apart­
heid after coming to power in
1948, raised th living tandards
of a white minority - Afri­
kaners, the descendants. of
Dutch settlers - by reserving
most jobs for them.
"Weve learned how effective
affirmative action - based on ,
color, language, ethnicity - can
be, and now we're going to prac­
tics it, " said Dr. Nthato Motlana,
an ANe activist.
Motlana heads a group' of
Black doctors, lawyers and
teachers w h9 pooled funds iii
January to buy 73 percent of the
Sowetan, one of the largest
newspapers. Whites had owned
the paper, although most of i!S
readers are Black and it IS
n med for Soweto, the huge
Black township outsid Johan­
n burg.
"THERE HAS TO be redis­
tribution of land, of resources, of
wealth in this country if we're
going to ha va a stable future,"
Motlana said. "Real power is eoo- .
nomic power. �
One man who learned that is
Sam Rapetswa, who owns an
auto parts business in Temba, a
Black township north of Preto­
ria.
Rapetswa, frustrated by
working for whites for low pay,
decided in 1982 to start his own
busin .
Beca use banks told him they
would consider a loan only if he
found a white partner, he used
his savings .
In his view, the government
could help Black entrepreneurs
by buying from them and at­
tracting foreign investors who
would deal with Black-owned
firms.

The - package would require
the State Court Administrative
Office to provide forms for indi­
