is quite obvious that the telephones, both in my appartment and office are
tapped.

The telephone rings around midnight or later and when I answer, the person
replaces the receiver or says that it is a wrong number even before it can be
ascertained that it is so.
On one occasion I made a call to London, the person to whom I was speaking
excused himself because he wanted to fetch something that he wanted to read to
me. We were disconnected, and when he returned we were connected again.
On another occasion I lifted the receiver to make a call and heard voices. I
listen in although I could not hear what was being said. The per s ons e n ded

When I return from a trip and enter my appartment, the telephone rings. When
I answer it the person either replaces his phone or says that it is a wrong
number.

Entr o f office

On arriving at the office on wednesday, 6/11/1985, the lights were burning

and the door to my office was open. When my assistant arrived later in the
morning and I related the incident, she was sure that the lights were all off and
my office door locked when she left the previous evening.
F riday , 7 / 1 1 / 1 9 8 5 , on my arrival at the office I realised that there was no
electricity. Thinking that there must be something wrong with the electricitY I not
not concern myself about this any further I le f t th e office around lunch time
to go a do a meeting and did not return.

On Saterday, 9/11/1985, I received a call from my assistant who had been to the
office. she said that she discovered that the electricity had been switched off

J ean- Pau l Horeau

This person started harassing me qui te early in 1984. H e would telephone for
an immediate interview and was very interested in ANC's relationship with
F rench Go v e r n ment .
I have asked him on numerous occasions to send me his questions a nd t h e n tp
awai t a n ap p o i n t m e n t b ut th i s he has n ot d o n e .
I afterwards became aware that he was phoning me just before I was to
France for Geneva which meant that I could not see him . H o w e ver, he did turn up
at the office one d a y w h ile I was away, which he very well knew, a nd que s t i o n e d
the person who was there about his personal details. H e became quite aggressive
when he wa s a s k e d t o l eav e .
After this incident he phoned again asking for an appointment and indicated
that he was interested in knowing more about the ANC National Conference that
was to be held. I d ecided to accept the date that he had proposed. A day before
the appointment, he phoned to cancel it.
Before the National Conference he telexed Lusaka and requested to be accredited
to it as a reporter for IFS. A s far as I can ascertain IpS is a journalist's club

In September, a day before I was to leave for Geneva, he telephoned for an

interview so that he could discuss the conference. He said that he needed the
intervew for La Lettre de I'Ocean Indie. Since then he has not been in touch.

Being pho t o g r a phed

On two occasions that I am aware of I have been photographed once in the street
outside the office and once in Gare du Nord station while standing on the platform
waiting for train to the suburbs. On both occasions the persons photographing
me hurried away when they became aware that I was aware of what was happening.
