Vietnam:
South Africa: Sabotage, apparently organized by under-
ground African groups, broke out last month and early this
month in the area around Johannesburg. The American Em-
bassy in Pretoria reports that the incidents, which included
the cutting of power and communications lines and the burning
of a local government office dealing with African affairs, showed
considerable advance planning. The embassy comments that
the inability of the Africans to carry on an overt political cam-
paign in the face of strong security measures made the turn to
sabotage inevitable. Although there have been no incidents
since early October, the embassy believes that sabotage and
underground activities are likely to increase in the future.

Sabotage in South Africa
According to reports reaching the American Embassy in
Pretoria, the sabotage incidents--some of which showed con-
siderable skill--were accompanied by telephone calls to
Johannesburg newspapers, calling the newspapers' attention
to the occurrences. One caller said he spoke for a "National
Liberation Committee," an underground organization which,
according to South African politic 1 exiles, has branches in
the important South African cities,
rFollowing the abortive general strike last May, leaders of
the outlawed African National Congress (ANC) reportedly de-
cided to enter a "second phase" of anti-government activity,
in which the emphasis would be on sabotage. ANC activists
allegedly were to be sent abroad for training, and a secret
group independent of the ANC and its associated organization
was to be set up to oversee the sabotage activity. The efforts
of the saboteurs were to be concentrated on power stations,
communications networks, and offices of the government's
Bantu Administration Department. These plans are said to
have the enthusiastic approval of ANC leader Albert Luthgli
who warned only that no "unnecessary deaths" should result. I
Nelson Mandela, who led the strike campaign in May, re-
portedly stated in mid-September that an ANC sabotage campaign
would begin in the near future. Mandela said that the campaign
would concentrate initially on telephone lines and government
offices but later might include roadblocks and railroad sabotage.)
