Abstract
In February, the head of the ICRC delegation in the Republic of South Africa, Mr. N. de Rougemont, had interviews with the Minister of Police, the Commissioner of Police and senior officials of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. They discussed several points, including the possibility for ICRC delegates to visit categories of detainees not previously visited in the Republic of South Africa and to organize meetings, on the border with Angola, between delegates stationed in Windhoek and others in N'Giva (southern Angola), in order to facilitate the exchange of family messages and the dispatch of parcels to Angolan prisoners of war detained in Namibia/South-West Africa.
