Scope and content

11/10/1974: newspaper cutting from the Pretoria News "Rogue police must be fired — Helen" and a House of Assembly question paper dated 06/09/1974 concerning how many people had been shot and killed or wounded by the SAP between January and June 1974.

22//10/1974: Memo to Helen Suzman from Barry Streek headed "Police Vote: SASO / BPC detentions"; the memo concerns arrests and detentions after pro-Frelimo rallies, Lindelwa and Brigett [sic] Mabandla, both of whom were detained for more than 3 weeks and who have a 6 month old baby. Streek also says "I have also enclosed some cuttings on discriminatory police pay and benefits — which could, usefully, be hammered, as well as low pay for police".

11/11/1974: letter addressed to Honourable Minister of Justice [presumably Jimmy Kruger] addressed "Dear Jimmy" with a list of prisons about which she'd received complaints during 1974 [12 are listed including Baviaanspoort, Lesley Prison Outstation and Oubiqua]; the letter also contains a paragraph referring to Robben Island and complaints she has received about conditions there. She goes on "I am about to leave for America and I will contact you on my return to see whether I can persuade you to change your mind about allowing me to visit Pretoria Special Section ... I hope you will manage to get some rest during the recess from troublesome some MPs who shall be nameless".

13/11/1974: Helen Suzman letter to Denis Herbstein at the UK Sunday Times concerning Jack Tarshish good recovery from open heart surgery and not being able to get Mrs. De Keyser (Ethel) a temporary visa to SA to visit her brother.
