                 South Africa and sports sanctions

We formally request that FBC SA opens formal and 
in depth negotiations with BO, as to the imposition of 
sports sanctions on Burma. .

Thank you for your co-operation. As it was first excluded 
at Tokyo in 64 and onwards, S Africa has a unique part to 
play in this campaign. And it would be shameful that, after 
the international community brought humanitarian sports 
sanctions to bear for the benefit of all S Africans, that they 
themselves would not support a similar call, that benefits the 
disenfranchised people of Burma

A report of the this request / message may be passed to 
the BO team and  NGO's that support the exclusion of Burma 
from Syd 2000


As we also offer you an "ease of lobby" of your government.
We look forward to your reply.
