THE ELEVENTH HOUR
Tonight's 11th Hour presentation
looks at the African National Congress,
currently the chief liberation
movement in South Africa.
Specifically, it takes a look at the
Congress' large college complex at
Mazimbu in Tanzania focussing on some
of the activities which rarely reach
the media.
In the light of the long standing
controversy over Nelson Mandela and the
ANC's guerilla activities much of this
work goes unnoticed.

THE ELEVENTH HOUR
At Mazimbu the ANC has established a
modern secondary schogl, a large
primary scool with over 270 children,
a nursery school and a creche.
It is to these centres that ANC women
come to have their children, and where
they can subsequently leave them when
they take part in ANC missions in other
parts of the country.
Beyond this the Mazimbu college plans
for the future, aiming to counteract
the inequalities of the Bantu education
system.

THE ELEVENTH HOUR
Known as SOMAFCO (The Solomon Mahlangu
Freedom College), the centre at Mazimbu
was established in 1977 on land given
by the Tanzanian government.
Today it has grown to a small but
impressive town, housing 2,000 Africans
in exile - most of them children,
including those orphaned or separated
from their parents.
Solomon Mahlangu, after whom the
college is named, was a young ANC
guerilla hanged in South Africa. The
college is now an alternative location
to the ANC guerilla camps where
youngsters were once sent. More>

Mazimbu also contains a large farm
which helps mantain the complex as a
self-sufficient unit prgducing fogd,
furniture and clothing.
Light industry, vocational training and
a modern hospital also help support
Mazimbu, with the hospital caring fgr
the local Tanzanian community as well
as the exiled South Africans.
Shot in Mazimbu itself, tonight+s
Eleventh Hour is interwoven with
footage from nearby Dakawa, where the
ANC hope to establish a further 5,000
exiles.

BACK HOME
Alice Graham is a woman of caustic wit,
patience and stamina. Last year, at the
remarkable age of 104, she made her
first journey in 80 years back home to
Britain.
Alice was born in Victorian England
on March 8, 1881. This programme will
be seen on the eve of her 105th
birthday which is now, coincidentally,
also International Women's Day.
Her first break away from home came
when she left her family in Tunbridge
Wells to move to London to become a
tailoress, making ladies' costumes.

BACK HOME
In 1904 Alice Graham immigrated to New
Zealand and stayed in the rapidly
growing colony where she set up a
successful tailoring business.
She brought up her family and helped
her children bring up theirs. Her great
granddaughter Cathy Denford produced
this documentary of a woman who
modestly decribes herself as "one in
a million made of the same mould."
Back Home, on Channel 4 at 3.45pm on
Friday, records her first visit to the
land she was born in, comparing her
memories of then to modern day ones.
