Mano, a Greek working for an oil company in the North Sea, is made redundant soon after pioneering a revolutionary underwater welding technique. The official excuse is the necessity for cutbacks in staff numbers, but the real reason proves to be far more sinister.

Last in a five-part series Black Man , You're on Your Own
It's already becoming very clear in South Africa that in spite of the repressive apartheid policies of the White government towards the Black population, Black spending power is already having a significant impact on the economy. It is estimated that today 40 per cent of consumer spending is
Black and by the end of the century it will be considerably more than that of the Whites. That growth in spending power inevitably brings with it political demands that the government will find irresistible. And internationally, although there is much talk of sanctions, boycotts and disinvestment. there is little evidence of anything actually being done. The Inescapable conclusion is: ' Black man, you're on your own '.
