€

✓ T he N a tio n a l £ partv regime of ■ f c F W de Klerk has

brought our coun­try to the brink of disas­ter. Riddled with corrup­tion and m ism anage­ment. the regime is de termined to block any advance to democracy.I t pursues a strategy which embraces negotia­tions. together with sys­tematic covert actions, including m urder, in­volv ing its sec u rity forces and surrogates.

This subversion ol po­litical processes to de­stroy the dem ocratic movement in South Afri­ca. led by the ANC, can- not be allowed to prevail any longer. We cannot to le ra te a s itu a tio n where the regime's con­tro l of S ta te pow er allows it the space to deny and cover up its role in fostering and fo­menting violence.

The Boipatong mas­sacre is one of the most chilling instances of the consequences of the ac­tions of the De Klerk re­gime. Before the people of South Africa and the B a^ of in te rn a tio n a l opinion, it cannot escape culpabilitv.

What is a t issue is more than the crisis of the negotiations process. The fundamental reason fo r th e d ead lo ck is whether there is to be democratic change, or w hite m ino rity veto cowers Ther* is_«niv

ic the violence.• Ensure that all repres­sion in some of the self- governing states, and in the so-called independent states, is ended forth­with.

Our people are com­pelled to live in a perpet­ual state of fear — be it in their homes, on their way to work, in trains and’ taxis, at funerals and vigils, at their places of work and entertainment.This is the stark reality.

Between July 1990 and April 1992 there have been 261 a tta c k s on township residents by hostel inmates, which led to 1207 deaths and 3 697 injuries.

We further demand that the regime imple­m ents agreem ents on curbing violence reached with the ANC almost a year ago. In particular.• The immediate imple­m entation of the pro­gramme to phase out the hretpic and convert them into family unit accom­modation.• Installation of fences around these establish- men is.• Guarding of these hos­tels by security forces on a permanent basis, moni­tored by m u ltila te ra l peace structures, and the expulsion of those who occupy the hostels ille- gallv.• R egu lar searches ol hostels with the partici­p ation of m u lti la te ra l «earf «tnir*nr»«

s tru g g le re m a in the surest basis for realising peace and stability.

We call on the entire people of our country, in­c luding the business community, to join in ob­serving June 29 as a na­tional dav of mourning and solidarity with the victims of the Boipatong massacre as the dead are buried.

Appeal to the in­ternational com­munity:The National Party re­gime is acting in con­tempt of the wishes of the international com­munity for a speedy end to apartheid. Now. more than ever, the interna­tional community is re ­quired to compel the De Klerk regime to bring violence to an end and to commit itself to solu­tions based on interna­tionally accepted demo­cratic principles.

In consultation with sporting bodies, we shall be reviewing the forth­com ing in te rn a tio n a l sports engagements in­volving South Africa.

We appeal to the Unit­ed N a tio n s S e c u rity Council to convene as a m atter of urgency to un­dertake measures which will help stop the vio­lence and reinforce our efforts aimed at bringing ab o u t a d * m o r-a t ic

including m urder, in­v o lv in g its s e c u r ity forces and surrogates.

This subversion of po­litical processes to de­s tro y the dem ocratic movement in South Afri­ca. led bv the ANC. can­not be allowed to prevail anv longer. We cannot to le r a te a s itu a tio n where the regime’s con­t r o l of S ta te pow er allows it the space to denv and cover up its role" in fostering and fo­menting violence.

The Boipatong m as­sacre is one of the most chilling instances of the consequences of the ac­tions of the De Klerk re­gime Before the people of South Africa and the B a r of in te rn a tio n a l opinion, it cannot escape culpability.: W hat is a t issue is more than the crisis of the negotiations process. The fundamental reason fo r th e d e ad lo ck is

j whether there is to be I dem ocratic change, or

w h ite m in o rity veto pow ers. There is only one way forward. It is a road which must unmis- ukablv and unequivocal­ly lead to the establish­m ent of a dem ocratic South Africa.

To this end it is necessary that the De Klerk regime agrees to:• The creation of a dem­ocratically elected and sovereign constituent as­sem b ly to d ra f t and adopt a new constitution.• The establishment of

, an interim government - of national unity, which I is the only way all South

Africans will recognise th a t the country shall have moved decisively to end white minority rule.

Demands on the regime:# T h e regime must im­mediately end its cam­paign of terror against the people and the demo­cratic movement In this regard it must immedia­tely carry out the follow- mg measures:• Terminate all covert operations including hit- squad activity.• Disarm, disband and confine to barracks all special forces as well *s detachments made up of foreign nationals• Suspend and prosecute all officers and security force personnel involved

work and entertainment.Tr.i; is the stark reality.

between July 1990 and April 1992 there have been 261 a tta c k s on township residents by hoste! inmates, which led to 1207 deaths and 3 697 injuries.

We further demand that the regime imple­ments agreem ents on curbing violence reached with the ANC almost a vear ago. In particular.• The immediate imple­mentation of the pro­gramme to phase out the hostels and convert them intc family unit accom­modation.• installation of fences around these establish­ments.• Guarding of these hos­tels bv security forces on a permanent basis, moni­tored by m u ltila te ra l peace structures, and the expulsion of those who occupy the hostels ille­gally. . -• Regular searches of hostels with the partici­pation of m u ltila te ra l peace structures.• Banning the carrying of all dangerous weapons in public on all oc^a‘ sions, including so-called cultural weapons.

We insist that the re­gime agree to:• The implementation of the universal demand re­quiring at least the es­tablishment of an inter­national commission of inquiry into the Boipa­tong m assacre and all acts of violence as well as international monitor­ing of the violence.• Release all political prisoners forthwith.• Repeal all repressive leg islation , including those laws which were so hastilv passed during the last days of the recent session of Parliament-

Call to the people of South Africa:The crisis caused by the reg im e co n stitu tes a challenge to all South Africans to unite in a broad movement for de­mocracy, peace and jus­tice now. We all, black and w hite to g e th e r , share the responsibility to stop the regime from plunging our country into chaos and anarchy.

The ANC shall consult all form ations with a view to holding a sum- mit to unite and mobilise our people against con­tinued white m inority rule and for democracy Unity disciplined

Appeal to the in­ternational com­munity:The National Party re­gime is acting in con­tempt of the wishes of the international com­munity for a speedy end to apartheid. Now, more than ever, the interna­tional community is re ­quired to compel the De Klerk regim e to bring violence to an end and to commit itself to solu­tions based on interna­tionally accepted demo­cratic principles.

jn consultation with sporting bodies, we shall be reviewing the forth­com ing in te rn a tio n a l sports engagements in­volving South Africa.

We appeal to the Unit­ed N a tio n s S e c u rity Council to convene as a matter of urgency to un­dertake measures which will help stop the vio­lence and reinforce our efforts aimed at bringing a b o u t a d e m o c ra tic order.

We call on the interna­tional community to act in solidarity with our people on the day of the funeral for the victims of the Boipatong massacre.In particular we appeal to all workers through­out the world not to han­dle South African car­riers and goods on this day.

On negotiations:The ANC reaffirm s its commitment to a nego­tiated resolution of the conflict in our country which would bring about democracy, peace and justice. The refusal of the regim e to accep t such a settlement com­pelled the NEC to review the current negotiations process.

The ANC has no option but to break off bilateral and Codesa negotiations.

The NEC will be keep­ing the situation under continuous review. The response and practical steps taken by the De Klerk regim e to these dem ands w ill p lay • critical role in determin­ing the d irection and speed with which bona fide nego tia tions can take place The decisions taken today will be con­veyed to the regime by ANC p res iden t A Nelson Mandela WU as soon as possi- M ble.

A N C b r e a K s ^ o f t t a l k sFROM PAGE 1ral meeting scheduled for tomorrow with the De Klerk government.

Instead, the ANC Nat­rona! Executive Commit­tee (NEC) would hold an argent meeting that day to discuss its options.

“1 can no longer ex­plain to our people why we continue to talk to a government which is mur­dering our people.

“We are back in the Sharpeville days," he said. “The gulf between the oppressed and the op­pressor has become un- brcachable."

Convention for a Democratic South Africa (Codesa) delegates had previously stated that wttbout a breakthrough in bilateral talks between the government and the ANC. there could be no prop ess in negotiations lor democracy.

At a Press conference afcej tbe ^ally. Mr Man- Aeia s a tf 'th f ppsmbn of' ANC* delegates, doe to’’

meet in a Codesa subcom­mittee today, was “as it is** pending alternative instruct mhis from the ANC leadership after to ­morrow's NEC meeting.

Questions about sup­porters' calk at the rally for a more militant politi­cal approach. Mr Mande­la said: “The duty of a mass organisation is to lis­ten to the masses. We must take account of their feelings, but that is a mat­ter for the NEC."

Youngsters at the gath­ering shouted “We want arms", and held aloft placards reading: “Man­dela give us permission to kill our enemies”.

At the rally. the ANC leader reacted strongly to Mr De Klerk s threat of a possible reintroduction of a State of Emergency.

“Let me warn him The introduction of anti­democratic measures to­day will result in a defi­ance campaign, with me leading that defiance Campaign.- Be-tola cheer­ing S u p p o r t e r s ? >

The ANC would con­tinue its campaign of mass action, he said.

He also called for a day of national mourning and stavaway on the day of tbe funeral of Boipatong massacre victims, the date of which is yet to be an­nounced.

The ANC would re­quest that its leader be permitted to address a special session of the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday night’s massacre.

Putting the blame for the carnage on the gov­ernment's shoulders. Mr Mandela claimed the kill- mgs were “the result of contingency plans" by the State President to counter the A N C s mass action campaign aimed at forc­ing an. interim govern­ment.

In a strongly worded at­tack, be criticised the state’s apparent inability to quell South Africa’s vi­olence, which claimed at lea&t LI2 lives in ibe past week. Ar least 17 people

died in unrest, mostly in the Vaal Triangle, at the weekend.

“Just as the Nazis in Germany killed people because they were Jews, in South Africa (Mr) De Klerk, the National Party and lnkatha (Freedom Party) are killing people \imply because they are Blacks." an angry Mr Mandela charged.

He criticised what he described as Mr De Klerk's audacity in trying to visit Boipatong where people had been killed with weapons legalised by his government. “We wel­come his sympathy, but it comes with crocodile tears".

Mr Mandela said the ANC had made an initial donation of R 100 000 to­wards a disaster fund for unrest victims nationwide and challenged the gov­ernment to “contribute more than the R8 million of taxpayers' money they gave to lnkatha" — a re­ference'*© the **lnkatha- gate"scandal.'*-^ Sapi^'

Mandela sayst a t KS between the ANC and the G overnm ent w e r e te m p o r a r ily suspended b ,- M r N d j -Mandela yesterday, whenhe accused Stale Pres^dent FW de Klerk of complicity in the massacre

the same again” after the massacre, which he described as the work of beasts an* not human beings.

Mandela said his coming to the Vaal had nothing whatsoever to do” with De K lerk's disastrous visit to

our future political work, we will not forget what De KJerK, the National Party and Inkathatn our neorfe 1 have never seen such cruelty, ne saia.

ANC leader Nelson Man­dela yesterday suspended ta lk s w ith the G overn ­m ent and announced that

, the o rgan isa tion was to ! rev iew its partic ip a tio n In Codesa. plunging the negotiations process into its roost se r io u s c r is is s in ce its incep tion two years ago.

“The negotiation process is completely in tatters," Mr Manaela said after paying a visit yesterday to the site of Wednesday's m assacre of squatters at Boipatong in the Vaal Triangle.

Addressing about 20 000 ANC supporters at Evaton, near V anderbijlpark. Mr * Mandela said an emergency meeting of the full ANC na­tional executive committee had been called for tomor­row to review its participa­tion in Codesa.

He said he had also in­structed ANC secretary-gen­eral Cyril Ramaphosa to cancel a bilateral meeting with the Government sche­duled for tomorrow.

Last night, acting State President Pik Botha, depu­tising for Mr de Klerk dur­ing his trip to Spain, said the Government remained com­mitted to finding a solution through negotiations.

He called for urgent talks with the ANC to discuss ti»e facts and issues around tne Boipatong massacre.

Constitutional Develop­ment Minister Roelf Meyer had phoned Mr Ramaphosa to arrange an urgent meet­ing about the massacre but by last night the ANC had not responded.

It was regrettable that the ANC had opted for "escap­ism ” when an “objective analysis of the facts aDd a clinical deliberation" about the violence were needed, •aid Mr Botha.

The ANC knew that its programme of mass action would increase tension in the country , he added.

Deputy Constitutional De­velopment Minister Dr Ter- tius Delport told The Star the ANC was looking for a reason to suspend talks with the Government

"They have the ir own agenda for doing so. The tragic events in Boipatong have made it more impera­tive that all parties talk about the future." be said.

Speaking after touring the massacre scene at Boipatong and Slovo Park. Mr Mandela taid he could “no longer ex­plain to my people why we con­tinue to ta lk to the regime which continues to murder our people”.

According to the ANC, at least 43 people died in the at­tack which they have blamed on lnkatha supporters.

Angry youths called for the resumption of the armed strug­gle as Mr Mandela told the crowd at Evaton's stadium: “We’re are now back to the Sharpeville days, and the gap existing between the oppressor and the oppressed has overnight become unbridgeable."

He reacted strongly to Mr de Klerk’s statement on Saturday about-possible new measures to curb violence.

After being driven from Boi­patong by angry crowds. Mr de Klerk said further steps would be considered if the violence did not end Declaring a state of emergency was an option, but one be hoped to avoid.

Yesterday, Mr Mandela said: “Let me warn him. The intro­duction of an ti-dem ocra tic measures will result in a defi­ance campaign, with me lead­ing that defiance campaign."

The ANC leader added that the organisation would continue its campaign of mass action.

Arriving at Boioatong. Mr Mandela and SACP chairman Joe Slovo were greeted with p la ca rd s held by m ilitan t youths which read: “Codesa. a white elephant, le t's fight” ; “Mandela, we want arms now"; and “Mandela, give us permis­sion to kill our enemies

Mr Mandela cautioned the militants, saying: "As we brace ourselves for what lies ahead, we must call for discipline among our ranks. Don’t allow yourseives to be provoked into unplanned violence.”

Mr Mandela said the ANC had made an initial donation of R100 000 towards a disaster fund for unrest victims nation­wide and challenged the Gov­ernm ent to contribute more than the R8 million of taxpay­ers' money it had given to the lnkatha Freedom Party.

Democratic Party leader Dr Zach de Beer said: ”1 under­stand the rage on the ground, but still appeal to the ANC to stay in the negotiation process."

start stayawayBy IKE MOTSAPI

RESIDENTS c i le six Vaal Triangle black townships will slay away f iw work today to mourn the deaths of 42 victims of the 3 >ipatong carnage. *

The affected townships are: Boipatong, Sharpeville, Sebokeng, Evaton, Zamdela and Bophelong.

Residents demand that Inkatha members based at KwaMadala hostel be rem oved from the area and that police presently based in the Vaal area be withdrawn immediately.

And a mass meeting will be held at the Boipatong Stadium at 10am today to decide, among other things, whether to continue with an indefinite work stayaway.

Funeral arrangements of the dead will also be discussed.The "ttarV on Wednesday night is alleged to have been

I carried by members of Inkaiha who are based at Iscor s KwaMadala Hostel in Vanderbijl Park industrial centre.

Three more people were killed and more than 22 injured during State President FW de K lerk 's visit to the area on Saturday when police opened fired on residents who

i allegedly chased him away.Police were nowhere to be seen yesterday. Only a police

j helicopter monitored the proceedings at regular intervals.M eanwhile the National Council o f Trade Unions

(Nactu) on Friday said it was ready to embark on a national industrial action to “register our anger at the regime s unwillingness to protect the lives of our people and secu­rity force complicity in these attacks .

Nactu also called for an urgent meeting between itseU, the Congress of SA Trade Unions, u n a f f i l .a ^ Uade unions, churches, the ANC, Azapo, Inkatha, PAC, SACP, New Unity Movement and W osa to address the all-con­suming violence.

As far as could be determined, all of the dead, 'XKt of them women and children, were town-

*’o residents.b y midday yesterday the death toll was 43 —

including a nine-month pregnant woman and a nine-month-old baby, both o f whom had been speared to death— but police were still removing corpses.

ANC generaJ-secretary Cyril Ramaphosa and South African Communist Party chairman Joe Slovo were scheduled to address a mass meeting la ter in the day, a fte r a b riefing w ith Vaal activists.

Residents say the massacre was a revenge

attack sparked by the killing o f an lnkatha sup­porter and Boipatong resident, David Mbele, last weekend.

A mob of about 200 men wearing white head­bands, tackies and gloves and bearing weapons rampaged through the township and the adjoin­ing Slovo Park squatter camp from about 9pm on Wednesday night, indiscriminately hacking peo­ple, breaking windows, and looting. In one street, as many as 12 houses had been vandalised and looted.

Yesterday, angry comrades who had set up barricades at every street com er thronged the streets, itching for revenge, amidst a heavy pres­ence of police and soldiers from 21 Battalion. By midday rampaging comrades had set alight the houses o f a policeman and lnkatha member.

Late yesterday police were still removing bod­ies from houses and shacks around the township. Women wailed as they saw corpses being taken off to the government mortuary.

One resident o f a house where two men were slain said a white man, wearing a black balaclava was among a group of “five Zulus*’ who came to attack the dwelling.

Stunned residents were still washing the blood off their floors and boarding up broken windows. O uside one house lay a blood-soaked mat on which three people had been killed.

One woman, huddled with others around the body o f her mother. Belina Lerobane, 5£, told hcrw a mob of men broke w indow’s and stormed the house at about 10pm. “My mother wc»ke up, I followed her. We were afraid. After that I hid under the bed. I heard the men say they want ANC members.” The grieving woman said her m other had been undressed by the men and stabbed to death. The TV set and hi-fi had been smashed and the telephone destroyed.

In one house, where three adult siblings were hacked to death, a stunned Jake Letsoko told how his two brothers had been killed in their beds His sister Anna had jum ped out o f the window to avoid the a ttackers but w as fo llow ed and butchered outside.

Letsoko pointed to a gruesome heap of blood­stained dothes, among which lay two w hite rub­ber gloves, which relatives said had been wom by one o f the marauding men.

Shackdweller Elizabeth Kolatswewu told how

her sister-in-law Elisa Mbatha had knocked on the door. “ I could hear her children crying from the shack next door. I opened the door and she fell on the floor. She was stabbed and chopped on her neck. She died there on the floor."

Kolatswewu said Mbatha fell with her baby still strapped to her hack — the child had been hacked on Che arm, but survived.

Many residents said police had arrived hours after being phoned for help.

“ I told the police what was happening and they asked where the comrades were, because they were supposed to be patrolling the township," said Charles Neluheni, whose grandmother was stabbed to death.

The fence surrounding Neluheni s house had been m ow ed dow n by a police Casspir, he ciaimcd. Weekly Mail reporters w itnessed deep track marks on the grass.

Sebokeng hospital superintendent Dr Coenie M omberg lold Weekly Mail 17 people, mostly w ith slab and hack wounds, had so far been adm itted. Seven o f them are children ranging from four to 10 years and two children aged about five are in inteasive care.

Police commissioner General Johan van der Merwe said he was “most concerned a! the trag­ic and senseless murder of a number of people in Boipatong township”. Van der Merwe said inten­sive steps had been taken to investigate the killings and that Major-General Hannes Gloy, commander of the Special Investigation Unit set up by the National Peace Accord, would head the investigation. i

portance, w hether the security forces were involved.

However, tragedy that it undoub­tedly is, B oipatong is also being sin­gled out for special a tten tion by the ANC to justify pulling out of negotia­tions, and it has accordingly lavished the greatest possible attention on the incident ANC Inform ation chief Pa- llo Jordan adm itted as much in his at­tributing the present outburst of p ro ­test to the A N C ’s mass action publi­city campaign.

It is right that attention is focused upon B oipatong, bu t as two articles published in The Star amply illum ina­te, the headlines d o n ’t comprise the whole story.

F irst is a jo in t sto ry w ritten by Rian Malan and Dennis Beckett enti­tled "O n th e In s id e L ooking O u t”, prefaced by the remark that although the K waM adala H ostel has been ca­lled the Factory of Death, "what goes unnoticed how ever, is that it has no monopoly on the dealing of death and knows plenty about the receiving."

T heir visit to the hostel and in ter­views with its leader, M ntwana Zulu, u n c te o f the K ing and p illa r o f the Zulu royal house, resulted in a picture of hostel dwellers under seige and of a far from peacefu l Boipatong prior to 17 June.

To start with they say, KwaM adala Hostel is as much a prison as a for­tre ss . T h o se in s id e c a n n o t le av e . Their children can’t set foot in school. They can’t get treatm ent at the hospi­tal. T he taxis w on’t come near.

"Ask why, and they refer you to a crippled youth leaning against a wall. In February he went to m eet his m ot­her in Boipatong, and he wound up in intensive care with a bullet in the spi­ne. A m on th e a r l ie r , one B ongani M batha made the mistake of wearing an IFP T-shirt on an outing. H e was stoned to death. In May a boy nam ed Thapelo went shopping in downtown V ereen ig in g , p re su m e d to be sa fe , territory. He was abducted and burnt alive."

Then, at the end of April, just we­eks after IFP supporters w ere slaugh­tered at C rossroads and Z onk’izizwe, the homes of 18 IFP supporters w ere attacked and torched in the townships around B oipatong. M alan and Bec­kett com m ent: "not a w ord o f that episode has fea tu red in public print until today."

G etting closer to the events o f 17 June, H oste l lead e r M n tw ana Z ulu "cannot believe his ears" when it is put to him that the build-up to th e June 16 stayaway was entirely peaceful, as the ANC w ould like the world to be­lieve.

On the 13/14 June w eekend pre­ceding the stayaway, hom es w ere ra­zed and at least th re e p eo p le w ere m urdered in Boipatong.

"T he firs t w as a w om an nam ed Nomvula, accused o f consorting with an Inkatha boyfriend and dispatched in the small hours of Saturday.

"The second was D avid M bele, a 37-year old B o ipatong resident who had tenuous, if any, structural connec­tion with Inkatha, but was known in the tow nship as a ‘really Z u lu ’. His hom e w as a ttack ed by th ree or four hund red p eo p le on S a tu rd ay a f te r­noon . H e w as sh o t w h ile ru n n in g away and w hen a fire engine arrived the crowd chased it off.

"Tw o m o re p re s u m e d In k a th a sympathisers w ere allowed to live and see the ir hom es bu rn dow n, one in Boipatong’s Sego S treet, one in M att­hews Street in nearby Bophelong.

"It was a rough w eekend for Inkat­ha associates around Boipatong, and also for th e ‘really Z u lu s’ w ho may not have anything to do with Inkatha but who dare to m ain ta in such cus­toms as the wearing of a leather wrist­band to denote a certain status in re­gard to esteem of the ancestors."

A n d w h a t w as th e re a c t io n o f South A frica and the w orld to these events: "It w as a w eekend that went by unrecorded. N o outrage, no press coverage - not a m ention until M be- le’s death rated a few lines h ere and there."

M alan and B eckett conclude that "if future massacres are to be foresta­lled ra th e r th an bew ailed, it may be helpful to pay som e a tten tio n to the perspective of hostel res id en ts w ho see them selves as clam ped in a vice­grip of persecution."

b u n .. ■ d ea tlt an u l< in ju red in C rossroads - th is d rew only "m uted protest".

To the C rossroads deaths L^^fen- cc adds those of nearby Z o n k '^ ^ P e , whose residents w ere attacked just 3 days later in a follow-up to C rossro ­ads - the 32 dea th jo in tly com prise four fifths o f the B oipatong total.

T here w ere sim ilarities in bo th at­tacks: both sets o f attackers w ere alle­ged to have been hostel dwellers, one Z u lu - s p e a k in g a n d o n e X h o sa - speaking; in bo th inciden ts, the vic­tim s accused th e police o f failing to respond; and in both there w ere accu­sations of covert support for the a t­tackers.

"But there is one fundam ental dif­ference. B o ipatong is a tow nship in which the A NC is the dom inant poli­tical o rg an isa tio n ; th e IF P is p a ra ­mount in Crossroads.

"Further differences flow from that difference. M ost of the victims at Boi­patong were - to put it no higher - not hostile to the A N C ; most o f the vic­tims at Crossroads w ere IFP m em bers or sympathisers."

T he key d ifference how ever, was in people’s responses, which Laurence notes was "astounding":

"B oipatong, labelled by the ANC as a national tragedy , has becom e a national crisis. C rossroads, reported a lm ost p e r fu n c to r i ly in th e p re ss , quickly disappeared from public cons­ciousness."

In sharp c o n tra s t to B o ip a to n g , "the cries o f anguish" for C rossroads and Z o n k ’izizwe "w ere m ore or less

lers ai v. rossroaus."A rchbishop D esm ond 1 utu visi­

ted B o ipa tong to express so lidarity with the victims. C rossroads apparen­tly did not m erit a sim ilar visit. The South A frican C ouncil o f C hu rches was m oved by th e p ligh t of B o ipa­tong, but its concern was less visible over the killings at Crossroads."

L aurence no ted tha t o n e reason for the d iffe ren t responses was that "the IFP has been cast as the villain of South A frica ’s b loody po litica l d ra ­ma."

A nother reason may be the "supe­riority of the A N C ’s propaganda mac­hine to that of the IFP 1' and its greater ability o f its pub lic is ts to com m and that a tten tion of the m edia m ore ef­fectively.

IFP suspicions regarding the police have not b een publicly followed up, and according to the IFP, no one has yet been arrested for the C rossroads massacre though the IFP clearly poin­ted fingers at inm ates of G erm iston 's K u ta lo H o s te l r e in fo rc e d by m en from Phola Park and M andela Park.

B o ip a to n g is a tragedy , and the IFP has been very vocal in its co n ­d em n a tio n o f th e in c id e n t a n d its willingness to assist the enquiry.

But by the sam e token, it finds it difficult to believe that there is such a d ea fen in g s ilen ce on th e even ts in B oipatong p rec ip ita tin g the revenge attack or on C ro ssro ad s from those now shouting the loudest.

n massacreCONDEMNATION for last week’s Boipatong mas­sacre in which 42 people were killed continued yes­terday.

The Commissioner of the South African Police, Genera] Johan van der Merwe, said he was con­cerned at the tragic and senseless killings of peo­ple. He promised to bring the culprits to book.

The Azanian People’s Organisation secretary- general, Mr Don Nkadimeng, called for the overthrow of the Govern­

ment as a solution to “the planned genocide” of black people. ~

He said: “They have failed our people in the past and will continue to do so. The security forces have been accused of complicity notwithstanding attempts at suppressing the evi­dence.”

The president of the Inkatha Freedom Party, C hief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, said: “Such bru­tality shocks the sensibility

of even the most brutal peo­ple. I say that no leadership structure of the IFP had any knowledge whatsoever that this attack was going to take place.”

The South African Com-, munist Party said by choos­ing to visit KwaZulu on June 16, State President FW de Klerk sent a mes­sage to every warlord, death squad and to every assassin in the country.

The Human Rights Commission said: ‘This horrifying massacre con­firms that there are ele­

ments within Inkatha and the security forces that have an interest in fuelling the violence and fulfilling their own prophecy that the ANC’s mass action will raise the political tempera­ture.”

The Rhema Ministries of South Africa added its voice to the outrage and Pastor Ray McCauley said he had sent a message to De Klerk noting growing per­ception that allegations of police/lnkatha collusion in violence “are not wild po­litical propaganda” .

IT IS W AR! And we arc alt going to die' These were the only words 70-year-old Elizabeth Q untu could u tter after the oody of a nine-month-old babv who w as stabbed in the head with a spear was removed to the morgue.

A few m etres from the shack in which the baby's body was found lay the body of a nine-month preg­nant woman with a bloodied face whose stomach was slashed oper. Both mother end child died.

A distraught relative said the woman was on the verge of giving birth when she was attacked.

Tears were running down the face of a yo u n g m a n . S te v e Mbatha: " I t is the Zulus who did this, why did they have to kill my mother, an innocent, de­fenceless woman?"

At the Joe Slovo squatter settlem ent bo­dies were strewn on the

bodies in a nearby shack: "These people were slaugh- / -d like sheep. The murderers showed no mercy, not V. -n for women or children."

While the spectre of death hung over the township, with at least 39 people having been reported dead, one more person - believed to be a member of the IFP -w as neckiaced in Sharpeville adjacent to Boipatong.

By late Friday afternoon the injury toll was said to be 30.

Children, mothers, husbands and relatives were weeping for their loved ones as they related how they were subbed, hacked and shot to death by their ruthless kiliers.

Many hours after the attack thousands of residents ; Many hours after the attack thousands of residents | had gathered in the streets as government mortuary j personnel were picking up bodies of the massacre ' victims.

Most of the victims of Wednesday night's attack were women and children - many from the Joe Slovo squatter camp.

On Friday troops stood guard at KwaMadala i Hostel, the base of the IFP and the place where the 1 attackers were believed to have originated.

Angry residents reiterated accusations that the police had escorted the attackers to the scene and took them away afterwards.

. The homes of several policemen, including Inkatha members, also came under attack when they were petrol-bombed.

Residents claimed that a troop of about 200 armed men arrived in the township at about 8 pm. ferried by police in casspin.

They said at about 11 pm the armed men set about attacking residents in several streets in the township, including the squatter settlement. The attack lasted

j until the early hours of the morning leaving scores of people dead._ Vaal police liaison officer Piet van Deventer said: “Residents have claimed that IFP members from the nearby KwaMadala Hostel were responsible for the attacks.

"The massacre occurred shortly before 11 pm on W ednesday when about 200 men armed with knives, pangas and firearms entered the township and started’ attacking residents."

The attack is believed to be the worst since 1990 when 80 people were slaughtered, allegedly by In­katha supporters, in Edendale and Imbali.

While it is unlikely that the ANC wiE pull out of Codesa, one of its most viable options would be to intensify its mass action.-

hal is certain, though, is that the cold war between the ANC and the Government has never beenchillier.

Harsh words have been said all round as a result of the massacre and more are to be expected this week.

On the one hand the ANC, as a liberation movement, is responsible to its grassroots membership.

If the hundreds who forced Dc Klerk to flee on Saturday are supporters of the ANC, then the message is clear the shaky marriage should end.

On the other hand, the Government has to back its word* and ensure that police produce results. "• .*

AJTJL pertinent question raised by ANC’s supporters

and adversaries alike, even by the A N C s leadership core itself, is: Why pretend things are on coarse?

But arc things really on course?Mr Saki Macozoma. the ANC’s spokesman, might have

touched a raw nerve in a radio interne* on Friday. “I personally think we are witnessing a genoo de and 1 know the dictionary meaning of the word," he said.

Earlier this month Mr Nelson Mandela was cri ticised for telling an overseas audience that blacks were being killed

! because they were black and for equating the spiralling mass black killings with the Holocaust - the massacre of

! Jews in Nazi Germany.' Also, was it simply emotional oratory by Mr Cyril

Ramaphosa. the ANC's secretary-general, when he said on Friday: “The ANC places the blame squarely on the shoulders of Mr FW de Klerk, who declared in Tokyo recently that his Government had a plat io counter (the

i ANC’s programme of) mass action.”And in a hard-hitting speech at Boipaiong, South Afri­

can Council of Churches general secretary. the Rev Frank Chikane, questioned the Government's sincerity and said action would have been prompt if whiles had been killed in a similar bloodbath.

TJL he coming few days are indeed going to be crucial in determining whether the ANC and as allies remain in Codesa as calls for it to pull out by other liberation groups, Azapo and the PAC, grow louder.

Already one of the ANC’s allies, Tnmskei's General Bantu Holomisa, has called on all organisations involved in t*Ik< with the Government to withdraw immediately

which shot into in te rn a ­tional p rom inence a fte r l a s t w e e k ’s m a s s a c re , w as the scene of a politi­c a l n a r r a t i v e a t th e weekend.

Set against the belch­ing smoke and pylons of Iscor, and acted out in the dusty streets of Boi­patong with a cast of thousands of local peo­ple, it was entitled “A Tale of Two Visits”.

The first visit, that of P r e s id e n t de K lerk , ended in failure for the man who not so long ago was praised as “Com­rade de Klerk" by Sowe­to youths, and acclaimed as man of vision and courage by their elders.

But in Boipatong on Saturday Mr de Klerk had to cut off a goodwill v isit and re tre a t, sur­rounded by security po­licemen and escorted by armoured vehicles.

.Whether the youths who -encirled his car and ham m ered on its roof shouting “Go away, mur­derer” were acting with spontaneous anger, or whether they had been put up to it by politicians seeking to make political capital out of tragedy, is a hotly disputed point.

What is not in doubt is that not a single black

| person in Boipatong was i willing to defend public­

ly Mr de K lerk’s right to visit the township or to challenge charges by the ANC that his decision to do so was a cynical public relations exercise, not a genuine expression of sympathy with the be­reaved families.

la was heralded as a hero when he arrived in Boipatong less than 24 hours later.

As Mr Mandela toured the squatter settlement on the edge of Boipatong, w here the m arauding killers had struck har­dest last week, he was fo llo w e d by a huge crowd of supporters.

T heir voices rising rhythmically in time to their stamping feet, they chanted: “People were k illed h e re . T ell the truth.” Their cries were directed at the entourage of journalists following in Mr Mandela's wake.

In terspersed was an exhortation which was presumably directed at Mr Mandela: “Brine us guns!”

Mr M andela’s angry mood and th a t of the crowd was later reflect­ed in a brief rally at the township’s soccer field,

where microphones had been hastily erected.

“I have gone around and been briefed,” Mr Mandela said of his tour of the squatter camp.

“After listening to the briefings, I am convinced we are no longer dealing with human beings but animals . . . We will not forget what Mr de Klerk, the National Party and the In k a th a F reedom Party have done to our people. I have never seen such cruelty.”

The local ANC chair­m a n , E r n e s t S o tsu , boasted bow Mr de Klerk had been forced to leave Boipatong: “ The com ­rad es w ere a f te r his blood.”

In four days Boipatong won a place in history.

Those four momentous days might mark a turn­ing point in the emerging political w ar between the ANC and the NP. □

While his colleague unload­ed the gun, the distraught man collapsed on the ground, sob­bing with grief.
