Mandela defense wraps up case
Winnie Mandela's defense against assault and kidnapping charges ended yesterday with her lawyers showing a videotape that depicted the assault, saying, dancing and eating in Mandela's company.
Chief defense lawyer George Bicez completed his case with the film showing the three young men attending a funeral with Mandela and taking part in the trial, where they were allegedly being held against their will.
The case against Mandela is expected to go to the judge within days after the prosecution and the defense make final statements. South Africa does not have jury trials.
Prosecutors said Mandela and two co-defendants abducted four young men from a Methodist church home in December 1988 and beat them at Mandela's home in the Black township of Soweto.
The state said the defendants thought the four were either gay or police spies.
One of the four, Stompie Sepei, was killed. Mandela's former bodyguard, Jerry Richardson, was shot in the head by a gunman.
Mandela and her co-defendants said they were not guilty.
Mandela, wife of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, has testified that she was trying to stop what she thought was homosexual behavior and that she was out of town when the alleged crimes took place.
Nelson Mandela, who was in prison when the alleged crimes took place, did not attend yesterday's hearing.
The videotape showed three of the young men at a funeral in January 1989, during the time they allegedly were captives of the defendants. In the video, the three were dressed in the yellow
tracksuits of the Mandela United Football Club — a now disbanded group that acted as an unofficial guard unit for Winnie Mandela and was accused of terrorizing opponents.

Outpatient centers called shoddy
Outpatient surgical centers and walk-in clinics independent of hospitals are largely unregulated, leaving an unsuspecting public at risk of shoddy care, according to congressional investigators.
A General Accounting Office study of immediate-care facilities found untrained doctors performing high-risk procedures, misleading advertising and unlicensed, uninspected facilities, investigator Frank Papineau told a House subcommittee.
Papineau said that although outpatient centers could offer cheaper care and more convenience and privacy, too often it was found that procedures performed in such clinics were conducted in spartan settings with skeleton crews that were never inspected.
"Under such conditions, they are a refuge for the unqualified, the unscrubulous and the undertrained," he testified to the House Small Business subcommittee on regulation.
Twenty years ago, few ambulatory care facilities existed. Today, there are an estimated 23,000 state-licensed ambulatory surgical, diagnostic and immediate-care facilities, according to subcommittee staff. Forty-one states have licensing programs, and their regulations vary.

Effort for interest rate cuts slowed
A Bush administration effort to win global interest rate cuts to help end the U.S. recession ran into more foreign opposition yesterday despite U.S. warnings about uncertainties facing the world economy.
"While each country looks to its own interest, we must work collectively to achieve our common objectives of freedom and prosperity," Brady told finance officials gathered for the spring meetings of the 155 nation International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
This year's gathering, which will end today, has been dominated by an administration plea for lower interest rates as a way to boost global demand.
President Bush took the uneasy step of inviting the top finance officials from the world's seven largest industrial countries to a White House session Sunday in which he personally appealed for lower rates.
"A recovery of world economic activity is by no means certain," Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady said, raising the specter that without more focus on growth, downturns in the United States, Britain and Canada could spread to other countries.
