But the Johan- hesburg newspaper Die Vader- land, of which Verwoerd was airman, reported his father as Egyptian and his mother {non-white, Other reports say his \father was Greek, born in Crete, and his mother a non-white, jaaliche Wilail Of sanciee seea ques, capital of Portuguese Mo- zambique. | Die Vaderland said Tsafendas 'is 48, born in Lorenco Marques 'Jan. 14, 1918. A Greek editor in Cape Town reported Tsafendas was a "'very dark" boy who was nicknamed "Blackie." The editor surmised that this gave him an inferior- ity complex. A member of the Greek com- munity in Beira, Portuguese Mo- zambique, remembers Tsafen- das with a Bible, quoting from 2 Kings 22:16: ; ".., Thus saith the Lord, be- hold I will bring evil upon this place and upon the inhabitants thereof, . ..." 'Tsafendas is reported vari- ously to have lived by his wits, man and seldom to have kept a job long. Neighbors in Cape Town say he was curt and colleagues re- port he was a loner.

Tsafendas said he was ar- rested in Lisbon in 1949 for leay- ing Mozambique illegally and serving a foreign power which he didn't identify. Becoming agi- tated, he claimed that the Por- tuguese tried to "brainwash" him with injections and electric shock treatments which he said caused him to suffer "hammer blows" in his head. : He said he was held for a year in Aljube Prison in Lishon and then at "Machine-Gun Depot No. Vem beenean we ent Moarnreneaces authorities wanted him to serve in the army but he refused, say- ing he had been through a war. He told the Cape Argus reporter the real reason was "I did not want to serve a dictatorship." Tsafendas said he finally was granted permission to leave Por- tugal in 1958 on condition he did not return to Africa. He said he was allowed to re-| turn to Mozambique in 1963 and from there went to Durban, in- tending to remain in South Af- rica "in voluntary exile until 1 am sure which way the wind blows." Not once during the 75-minute interview did he express or in- dicate any hostility toward South Africa's political leaders, the newspaper added. Other messengers at the par- liament building said he com- plained constantly of the cost of living for South Africa's "poor whites.'
