The following is an article from the Argus (a Cape Town paper) on Mr
Clive Derby-Lewis, suspect in the assassination of SACP Secretary-
General, Mr Chris Hani. At last count, the South African Police had
detained 7 people with regards to the assassination: Mr Janusz Walus, Mr
Derby-Lewis, his wife, Mrs Gaye Derby-Lewis, Mr Arthur Kemp, Mr Faan
Venter, Mr Edwin Clark and Mr Lionel du Randt. The police are still
seeking a man for questioning, but claim he is not a suspect. The arrest
of so many people, and the apparent conspiracy behind the assassination,
have raised a number of eyebrows in South Africa.

DERBY-LEWIS AND THE NEO-FASCISTS
* Detained Mr Clive Derby-Lewis is not only a leading figure in the
Conservative Party, he also has extensive international links with neo-
fascist organisations.
One of the prominent rightwing organisations to which Mr Clive Derby-
Lewis was linked is the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), of which he
is the South African representative.
It is an extremist organisation that would have put him in the
international far-right struggle against communism.
The WACL, founded in 1966 by the dictatorship regimes of South Korea and
Taiwan, has been exposed in a book, "Inside the League", written by John
Lee and Scott Anderson, as the foremost umbrella organisation bringing
together unrepented "terrorists, nazis and Latin American death-squad
leaders".
Among the most notorious nazis and death-squad leaders connected to the
WACL were Klaus Barbie (the Butcher of Lyon) and Major Roberto
D'Aubuisson, leader of the Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (Arena) party
in El Salvador.
According to "Inside the League", the WACL is at least partly sponsored
by Rev Sun Myung Moon's controversial Unification Church and is known to
have financed extremist organisations, even rightwing guerilla movements,
throughout the world.
The Moonies also fund Mr Jean-Marie le Pen's neo-fascist French National
Front. Mr Derby-Lewis has met Mr Le Pen on various occasions.
WACL activities in South Africa can be traced back to the 1960s when it
had Mr Ivor Benson, formerly employed as chief Press censor by Rhodesian
Prime Minister Mr Ian Smith, as head of its South African chapter.
Other South Africans closely associated with the WACL's activities here
were former editor of the South African Observer, Mr S E D Brown, and
formed NGK [Dutch Reformed Church] leader Dr Koot Vorster, brother of
former Prime Minister Mr John Vorster.
Mr Derby-Lewis's fellow detainee, prominent rightwinger Mr Arthur Kemp,
who was freed on Thursday, also is known to have links with the WACL.
Mr Derby-Lewis is also vice-president of Western Goal (UK) and has links
with other extremist elements in British conservative politics.
Western Goal handled the public relations side of the June 1989 visit to
Europe of CP leader Dr Andries Treurnicht and Mr Derby-Lewis.
The organisation recently has been described as an unofficial ambassador
for the South African Conservative Party, the German Republics (a far-
right political party), the French National Front and the El Salvadorean
Arena party.
The WACL also has close ties with the extreme rightwing National Students
Federation (NSF) and Mr Kemp is known to have links with them. In June
1985, the NSF held an international conference on rightwing forces with
the co-operation with the SA Defence Force at Unita's Jamba headquarters
in southern Angola.
The Conference was attended by representatives of the Nicaraguan Contras,
the Afghan Mujahdin, the WACL and others. The conference accepted a
motion to fight communism to the bitter end.
Mr Derby-Lewis is known to be a member of the conservative Heritage
Foundation, a powerful American rightwing organisation whose members have
been linked with financial support for the Contras.
He is on the address list of the World Apartheid Movement (WAB [Acronym
from the Afrikaans: Wereld Apartheid Beweging]), a neo-fascist South
African organisation with worldwide links to other neo-nazi
organisations.
It is known that Polish-born Mr Janusz Walus, alleged assassin of Mr
Chris Hani, was regularly seen at meetings of the WAB, an organisation
that always has attracted large numbers of foreigners, especially Eastern
European.
