Two of South Africa's leading information companies and a major U.S.
communications are proud to announce an alliance that brings you a
comprehensive research and information service on Africa.  

AFRIA (The Africa Research & Information Alliance) is a new consortium
in the information field, formed by Stock Press and Legi-Link from
South Africa, and The Rendon Group in the U.S.A.  AFRIA is the first to
offer information services on any Southern African topic, from the
economy and the environment, to bills and policy shifts in the new
Parliament.

AFRIA is launching this exciting new service with two free copies of
The RDP Monitor, an overview of the South African government's social
and economic policy, published by Stock Press PLUS a special rate for
clients subscribing to The RDP Monitor before the end of June.  

Stock Press, founded in 1984, provides the most comprehensive
financial, economic, environmental and socio-political information in
South Africa.  Stock Press monitors some 350 newspapers and magazines,
maintaining a cross-referenced and indexed monitoring service on all
major South African topics.  Stock Press provides both pre-packaged and
ad hoc research services to suit the information requirements of its
clients.

Legi-Link is South Africa's first independent information service
covering Bills and the Parliamentary process.  Legi-Link products and
services include monitoring of bills and their progress through
Parliament, comprehensive reports on Parliamentary debates, transcripts
of key policy speeches, full-text copies of bills, updated lists of
cabinet changes and contact information for Members of Parliament.

The Rendon Group is a U.S.-based communications consulting company that
has worked in over 60 countries.  The Rendon Group uses its extensive
U.S. and international political experience to provide accurate timely
political analysis of developments around the world.  Through on-line
research services, The Rendon Group has access to over 30,000 research
and information databases, including the ability to monitor and relay
real-time information to its clients.

AFRIA is an alliance that spans the Atlantic, joining the forces of
Stock Press and Legi-Link, the leading research and information
services in South Africa, with The Rendon Group, a U.S.-based public
relations and communications company.  Through the combined research
resources of the three companies, AFRIA will be able to provide
information and analysis on political, economic, legislative and
business developments in Southern Africa.
