Conflict alleged with Angola
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - A proposed
Angolan diamond mining venture
by a dealer with personal ties to
the White House won Clinton
administration support in talks
with leaders of the African coun
try, a newspaper reported
Saturday.
Maurice Tfempelsman, a long
time companion of the late
Jacqueline Keimedy Onassis,
won support in both the State
Department and the White
House National Security Council
for a mining consortium that
would include both Angola's gov
ernment and former rebel lead
ers.
He used a letter of support from
Assistant Secretary of State
George E. Moose to help try to sell
his deal to the Angolan govern
ment of President Jose Edwardo
dos Santos and rival UNITA
party leader Jonas Savimbi, The
Washington Post said.
Despite a two-decade-old ban on
U.S. lending for ventures in
Angola, the National Security
Coundl told government lending
agencies that Tfempelsman’s pro
posal “had merit” from a foreign
policy perspective, ofBcials told
the Post.
Tfempelsman has been a guest
at the White House nearly a
dozen times.

JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa - If it hopes to achieve the
six- percent annual growth rate it
is aiming for. South Africa would
do well to open its doors to skilled
African migrants, a new study
has shown.
In its report titled “People On
the Move: A New Approach to
Cross-Border Migration,” the
non-govemmental Center for
Development and Enterprise con
cluded that the perennial short
age of skills in the country mean
South Africa can only gain from
lifting restrictions.
“In some fields where training
and education are expensive, it
will be optimal for South Africa to
import .skills rather than to try to
produce them locally. Moreover,
studies of South African develop
ment and competitiveness all
stress our weakness in respect of
human capital.
“Economic growth requires as
many skills as we can grow, hire,
or import,” notes the report.
Migration is an emotional issue
in an increasingly xenophobic
South Africa. Whenever the topic
is brought up, the images of
Nigerian drug dealers,
Senegalese street hawkers,
Zimbabwean hit-squads, and
Mozambican farm laborers come
to the mind of many in a countiy
that only recently opened up to
the rest of the world.
Xenophobic sentiments are
common as nationals compete
with foreigners for scarce econom
ic resources.
