Black Umfolozi Rediscovered Told by Laurens van der Post
The fourth of five programmes from The World About Us
For several days and nights, writer LAURENS VAN DER POST and his granddaughter, Emma walked through the bush and slept under the stars in the midst of an African wilderness. Accompanying them were Ian Player , an almost legendary ranger; and a guide and keeper of Zulu history,
Magqubu Ntombela. At night, they heard the haunting cry of baboon hunted by lions and leopards. By day, they explored the country around the crocodile-infested Black Umfolozi , sometimes crossing it to avoid a rhino or two. Above all, this is a record of an English girl experiencing at first hand the impact ot the African wilderness.

Memorial Meeting
Forty thousand spectators are expected to cram the Heysel Stadium for the fourth running of the IAAF Golden Mile.
Britain has dominated this event so far, with STEVE OVETT in 1978 and 1980 and SEB COE with a new world record time in 1979 giving us a clean sweep. One of these magnificent athletes should maintain our record tonight. Commentators DAVID COLEMAN
