...seemed at one time that Nkomo and his followers were the major barrier to the once declared intention of Mugabe and ZANU to turn Zimbabwe into a one- party socialist state. But now Nkomo, ensconced in Matabeleland, his tribal home in the western part of the country, increasingly appears to many of his countrymen as more of a nuisance than the savior of Zimbabwe. There are several reasons for this, among them the fact that Zimbawe has begun to prosper economically. Also, Mugabe continues to court the country's influential white farmers, and he appears to be backing away from...
...agonies and anomalies of apartheid. For ten years, blacks have streamed into the area and patched together flimsy huts out of odds and ends--bits of wood and plastic, old garbage bags, corrugated iron and cardboard. Most of the settlement's residents were "illegals" from the impoverished government-created tribal homelands of Transkei and Ciskei, which offer no employment, no money and no food. Almost as fast as the blacks kept pouring in, the authorities kept pushing them back, smashing their shacks and returning the illegals to the homelands.

Program notes attempting to describe segments of each of the two 90-minute pieces (such as "ripple of last breath" or "the vanity of nature") may be meant as signposts to a wondering, wandering audience, but no maps are really necessary for this journey...
...Opoku Ware II, 65, the King of Ghana's Asante people, still got along fine with New York City Mayor Edward Koch, 59. To kick off his first visit to the U.S. since ascending to the "golden stool" of the Asante in 1970, the King last week donned tribal regalia and, with 'Koch happily tagging along, led a ceremonial procession up the steps of the American Museum of Natural History to celebrate the opening of "Asante Kingdom of Gold," an exhibit of some 800 gold shields, swords, necklaces and handicrafts that will be on display through March...
