South African President Pieter W. Botha appointed two nonwhites as government deputy ministers, effective July 1. Soobramdney Naicker, an Asian, will become deputy minister of environment affairs, and Luwellyn Landers, a mixed-race Colored, will become deputy minister of population development. Deputy ministers are not Cabinet members, but an Asian and a Colored are already Cabinet ministers without portfolio.
