Botha released from hospitahwill need several weeks of rest By SAHM VENTER Associated Pr? Writs r CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) -- President P.W. Botha, who suffered a stroke last week, was released from a military hospital earlier this week but was expected to need several weeks to recover. Botha, 73, and his wife Elize were driven out of No. 2 Military Hospital in a Cape Town suburb shortly after noon. They declined to stop and talk to waiting v reporters. - Botha was expected to recuper ate at his official residence outside Cape Town from the effects of the stroke he suffered last Wednesday. Botha has appointed Constitu tional Development Minister Chris Heunis to serve as acting president. There has been specula tion that Botha may retire soon, but neither he nor other high-rank ing government leaders have spo ken publicly about his intentions. Health Minister Willie Van Niekerk, a physician, said Satur day that Botha would need to rest at least six weeks before he could consider returning to work. Botha's doctors have said that the stroke weakened his left arm and left leg but that his facial muscles and speaking ability were not affected. Parliament opens this! year's ses sion Feb. 3, and prior to Botha's stroke there had been speculation he would use the occasion to announce a general election for late April. Political analysts now say an election is unlikely until after Botha makes a full recovery or until a permanent successor is chosen. Dukakis signs ban on deals with S. Africa By KEVIN GALVIN Associated Press Writer BOSTON (AP) ? The state gov ernment will no longer buy goods from companies tied to South Africa under a ban ordered by Gov. Michael S. Dukakis, who said Massachusetts has "histori cally spoken out for freedom and for liberty." The executive order signed Sat .. urday by the governor affects only executive branch purchases but not purchases by the Legislature, the courts or quasi-public agen cies such as the Massachusetts Port Authority. "This is one way a governor can act to make sure,. at least with respect to the agencies under his control, that we once again speak .out loudly and clearly on the sub ject of apartheid and its funda mental inhumanity," Dukakis said. The action made Massachusetts at least the fifth state to bar state purchases of South African-tied goods and services, joining Michi gan, Maryland, Rhode Island and North Carolina. In 1983, the Bay State became the first state to pass legislation divesting its state pension fund holdings in companies operating in South Africa. Alluding to his heritage as the son of Greek immigrants and Massachusetts as the cradle of the American Revolution, Dukakis said it was important for the" State to continue speaking out against injustice and oppression. "This state has historically spo ken out for freedom, liberty and equality of opportunity and rights for all members of every part of this world," he said at a States house news conference. "And I know the tradition as a Greek- American, because it was people from Massachusetts who led the effort in this country for Greek independence in 1821. "This is a fight for freedom that goes back a long way," he said. The ban, which is subject to withdrawal by Dukakis' successor in two years, is not expected to result in any significant cost to the c ommonwealtE. However, administration offi cials said it could effect about 200 companies nationwide with a total of $21 million in state purchasing contracts. The order would do the follow ing: ? Prohibit executive branch agencies from purchasing goods or services which originate in South Africa or Namibia and establish a purchasing preference favoring firms that have no ties with either country; ? Require the state purchasing ? agent to formulate a policy to take contracts away from companies doing business with, or in, either country. Companies with South African connections that are the sole providers of goods and services would be exempt from the order. Dukakis said that the order should not detract from legislative efforts to pass a broader ban against state purchases from com panies involved with South Africa. The bill passed the House in 1987 and b88, but died in the Senate. Pointing to a recent agreement by South Africa to remove troops - from Namibia, Dukakis said inter national pressure appears to be influencing the South African government. "I hope that what appears to be a tentative settlement of the issue of independence is at least a small sign that we're making progress in Southern Africa," he said. "But given the kind of disappointments we've had over the years, it's something that we'd better be cau tiously optimistic about." Business Profile From Page A6 to guarantee his own commis sions.
