**Analysis**
The text appears to be related to economic development, specifically in the context of technical assistance to the South African national liberation movements. The report discusses the provision of technical assistance to industrial projects in the sector aimed at enhancing the self-reliance of the oppressed and struggling black majority of South Africa. This suggests that the category of "Economic development" is a good fit.
