(24 May 1988) QUOTE REF SOUTH AFRICA/W.GERMANY; Over 1,000 people attend a meeting to
GS30058812 protest the use of capital punishment for political offences,
30.5.88 meeting at Witwatersrand University to hear Aubrey Mokoena of
the "Release Mandela Campaign" talk of the plight of over 30
people, including the "Sharpeville Six", currently awaiting
execution for political offenses in South Africa. With most
active anti-apartheid organisations banned, prominent white
anti-apartheid campaigners, led by South African MP Wynand
Malan, travelled to Frankfurt to meet African National
Congress representatives, including Thabo Mbeki, head of
information and publicity. Common ground between Malan's
National Democratic Movement and the ANC did not extend to
support for the ANC's use of violence to persue the end of
apartheid. As part of that campaign, two bombs exploded in
Pretoria injuring four white women, one of whom lost an arm.
Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, whose 1.5 million strong Inkatha
organisation opposes both the apartheid regime and the ANC,
held a rally in Durban, and called for unity among blacks
against apartheid and an end to disinvestment in South
Africa. date shot 24-29.5.88
