South Africans #' 1 1^ .4.^ _ r r nuvtz iuis uj jun on Sundays By William F. Nicholson < Associated Press Writer | MASERU, LESOTHO ? Every r? weekend thousands of white South Africans pour into neighboring black-ruled nations to watch pornographic movies, play slot machines, and drink on Sundays. They call it fun, and the locals here call them "Dirty Weekend Brigades." Lesotho, an independent black nation the size of the state of Maryland and completely surounded by white-ruled South Africa, is a kind of haven for South Africans looking for entertainment of the type they can't get back home. The travelers also invade Botswana and Swaziland to escape the puritanical laws in the nation. Last weekend, about 1,500 persons, most of them from South Africa, paid up to $24 to watch 12 young women, wearing only smiles, compete in the "Miss Body Beautiful" contest here. It was treated as a gala affair. SOUTH AFRICA, whose white settlers came from a stern Calvinist heritage in Europe, has strict laws segregating races, prohibiting gambling, censoring films and books and limiting the hours for sales of alcohol. On Sundays, dancing and public entertainment are also prohibited. The restrictions cause some to cross the borders, earning them the title of the "Dirty Weekend Brigades." "People come down here for something different," said Willem iNone, wno sens cars wnen ne isn't promoting the "Miss Body Beautiful" contest with partner Solly Chesno, another South African. "Not all South Africans are puritans. They stay in line back home because that's what everybody else is doing. Then they break out and come to places like Lesotho, before going back to get into line again," Nolte said.
