Owns KwaZulu Natal Experimental College

A correspondent writes: Argyl's Property is a SA company, the govenrment gave the buildings of the school to them for an indefinite time for use, provided they give work and education to a certain amount of people. Some 35 SA people do work there on the buildings on repairs and things. They say they earn about 300 Rand (US$35)a month (there is no minimum wage limit in SA). That's all I know about them. The leader in charge is a Zim guy, his name is Madzeka. But I don't know who the real director is. The other man I saw there all the time was a Dane, his name is Sven Pedersen. October 2001.
