If you'd care to use any news articles referring to Southern Africa, that would be permissible too. We've given similar permissions to several people who write and maintain newsletters for Cornish groups, thinking it might forward our goal of helping people discover their history, as well as to several academics wishing to illustrate particular points in their work. (Most of these involved using the Court cases, not BMDs.) We always appreciate being asked for permission, of course. The best of luck with your book - hopefully, you'll let all of us know when it's published.
