The South African Jewish Board of Deputies, at its monthly meeting, warmly welcomed the government’s Rosh Hashanah eve announcement that it was lifting the ban on the transfer of funds raised by the Jewish community for Israel. The ban was imposed last May after Israel. donated $2,800 to the Organization for African Unity at the request of the United Nation on humanitarian grounds. The South African government considers the OAU a terrorist organization. Israel re-allocated the donation to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees after it came under criticism in the Knesset. David K. Mann, chairman of the Board of Deputies, said. “We felt sure from the beginning that the suspension would be only temporary and would be lifted when Israel made it clear that there had been no intention to help terrorists.”
