'DHLAKAMA E MANINGUE NICE': AN ATYPICAL FORMER
GUERILLA IN THE MOZAMBICAN ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN
      You may or may not agree with many Mozambicans that RENAMO
      leader Afonso Dhlakama is 'maningue' nice but MICHEL CAHEN's
      analysis suggests some of the complexities of politics in South Africa's
      most populous neighbour. This analysis finally moves the question of
     foreign intervention away from centre stage in discussions about
      Mozambique to focus on internal factors and the dilemmas of
      nation-building in Africa.
FINANCING FASTER GROWTH IN SOUTH AFRICA: THE CASE                              49
FOR REFORMING THE FINANCIAL SECTOR
      CHRIS EDWARDS in a paper prepared and presented in 1997
      blames high interest rates, that cornerstone of Reserve Bank policy, for
      South Africa's low growth rate and suggests an alternative approach
      to current government financial ideas.

 DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN FISHING INDUSTRY
       Fishing is a picturesque but in some respects typical part of the South
       African economy when analysed in terms of power, access and
       relationship to the state. BJORN HERSOUG reports on the efforts to


     restructure this industry to make it more open to the population as a
     whole while continuing its prosperity.
