African leaders plan to end curbs on movement of Blacks Johannesburg. South Africa a the government wednesday pledged to abolish racially based restrictions on Freedom of movement and said South Afri cans instead will be required to have an approved residence in order to move. The new policy when it is adopted into Law by the dominant National party will scrap the pass Laws which for decades barred Blacks without permits from living and working in White areas. Enforcement of the pass Laws was halted wednesday in conjunction with the release of the government s policy statement which called them a relic of the it said the system of influx control would be replaced by planned positive urbanization. However the new policy will continue to bar integration of residential neighbourhoods and it makes no specific mention of any plans to give Blacks voting rights. Many Black leaders have adopted the slogan too Little too late to convey their feeling that any Reform of apartheid will be inadequate As Long As the Black majority is denied significant political Power. The policy statement said the government holds the View that fundamental rights should be protected and that discrimination on the grounds of race or color is not it also said the government accepts the permanence of Blacks in South Africa and will no longer pursue the goal of moving Blacks to the 10 self governing tribal homelands. However it said the 6 million Blacks in the four Home lands that have been granted Independence by Pretoria although not recognized by other countries would re main foreign citizens pending negotiations on possible dual citizenship.

Some Blacks trying to move to Soweto Johannes Burg s largest Black township have been on a waiting list for nine years. The government statement said the requirement of approved housing conforms to the civilized Norm that peo ple can be permitted to Settle it added that approved housing would encompass hostels hotels apartments and informal housing suggesting that even improvised shacks would be permitted if they were built on a site authorized by the government. But the statement made Clear that the government will continue enforcing prohibitions on illegal squatter settlements saying these Laws will simply be revised to apply to All races. Another component of the government initiative is the planned introduction of a uniform identity document for All South africans regardless of race. Presi Dent . Botha in announcing the impending pass Law moratorium urged Blacks to keep their passes to serve As a temporary identity document until new ones Are issued later this year. The number of pass Law arrests was 132,000 last year Down from 262,000 in 1983. Most convicted offenders served Only a few weeks in prison. Although some form of pass Laws have been on the statute books for almost a Century two Laws adopted in 1952 formed the Backbone of influx control the policy that restricts Blacks without permits to the 10 tribal Home lands covering 13 percent of the country.
