Apartheid
IBM executives begin to take role in call for South African reforms
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
— After years of operating quietly
and profitably here, IBM is wading
into the racial maelstrom of South
Africa with calls for reform of the
apartheid system.
The company, which operates in
130 countries and has been under
pressure from apartheid opponents
in its home country, is not escaping
criticism even in South Africa.
IBM executives are speaking out
to the South African government
about white-minority rule, the per
sistent black riots and the stifling re
cession that many economists say is
rooted in the system of racial separa
tion.
These executives are doing even
more in private, said company
spokesmen.
IBM Chairman John Akers,
known for generally shunning poli
tics, is on the steering committee of a
52-member group of U.S. corporate
chiefs who bought space in a Johan
nesburg Sunday newspaper Oct. 27
to pledge that they would play an ac
tive role in dismantling apartheid.
Last Friday the group sent a mes
sage to President P.W. Botha urging
him to be more conciliatory in deal
ing with black students who are boy
cotting their segregated classes.
In September, after some 700
people had died in more than a year
of riots, IBM officials said in a
statement from its offices in Ar-
monk, N.Y.:
“It is imperative that the South .
African government address the
problems of apartheid with the com
pelling and urgent attention they de
serve.”
IBM also hinted, for the first time
since it came to South Africa in
1952, that it might pull out.
The company statement said eco
nomic activity was a force for good
and that IBM was going to stay in
South Africa as long as there is a
chance that it, with others, can con
tribute to peaceful change, but it
added that the rapidly deteriorating
situation is having a significant im
pact on IBM’s South African busi
ness.
IBM once derived 1 percent of its
world-wide revenues from Interna
tional Business Machines South Af
rica (Pty) Ltd., but that share has
shrunk to 0.5 percent as the South
African currency has sagged. The
company had revenues of $46 billion
last year.
The rand — which has fallen in
value from $1 in 1982 to 38 cents to
day — makes it more expensive for
IBM to import and sell its informa
tion systems, which are not manufac
tured in South Africa.
IBM’s threat to pull out has
weight because the company did
leave India, Indonesia and Nigeria
— in those cases because of laws
which would have forced the com
pany into partnerships with govern
ment.
The fear that IBM may leave,
however, is expected to discourage
potential customers.
IBM has been a prominent target
of anti-apartheid activists in the
United States, who have been urging
colleges and government agencies to
get rid of their investments in com
panies which do business in South
Africa.
One of its competitors, Apple
Computer Inc., announced earlier
this year that it was suspending sales
to South Africa. Apple, however,
had no direct investment in the
country; industry giants IBM, Bur
roughs and Control Data do.
Responding to its critics. IBM has
publicized projects aimed at improv
ing race relations.
T he company does not discrimi
nate on the shop floor, it offen
equal pay for equal work, it pays em
ployees to devote time to black edu
cation, donates computers and in
formation systems to schools and
helps run a trades-skills center.
The company also maintains what
it calls a post-graduate business cen
ter for promising blacks who grad
uate from the South African system.
IBM officials say the company bene
fits because many students end up
taking IBM jobs.
Ohio state senator missing;
collegues are concerned
in Toledo was in May 1984, when
she attended a dinner for a local
union official.
State Rep. Barney Quilter said
Valiquette called him Sept. 19 to
say sne would miss an event in
Toledo to which she had been in
vited.
The senator’s secretary, Shari
Josephs, said she doesn’t know
Valiquette’s whereabouts, and
has no telephone number or ad
dress for the senator.
Because Republicans have a
three-vote majority in the 33-
member Senate, Valiquette’s ab
sence has not affected any bills in
the current session.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio
Democrat Marigene Valiquette, a
23-year veteran of the state Sen
ate, has not been seen in public
since July, and when she failed to
show up for this week’s legislative
sessions some of her friends at
the Ohio Statehouse got worried.
Police in both Columbus and
Toledo, the senator’s hometown,
said Valiquette, 61, has not been
reported missing; but colleagues
say they have not seen her in Co
lumbus since July, when the Gen
eral Assembly broke for the sum
mer. Her last public appearance
