Students in Dar Es Salaam could give you more up-to-da. e infor~ __ ":.. ~ __

There are other South African students at the Unive ~s i .y
of
Zambia, the Evelyn Hone College of Further Education and other centres who did not come here as refugees. We are trying to collect
particulars on them which We will let you have in due course.

You enquired if there are any in need of scholarships. All · those
at Nkumbi College fall under this category. Their chances of being
granted scholarships to America are not bright at all. We can simply
regard them as people who do not have scholarships at the moment.
Most of them would study anywhere where they gain acceptance. I would
not know pI'ecisely what each individual would like to study but ~~
will let you have that information as well.'
If there is anything you could do to help some of these s'tu6ents by- way of procuring scholarships for them could you pleas
et ~
know and indicate the nature Of the scholarships you oould arrange
for them.
Should you need any further information to clarify the position
of our students this side please do not hesitate to contact us.
Amandla!
Maatla!
