President de Klerk's all-party
two-day conference to end South
African violence on May 24 and 2.S
wu ad' ler. With the exception of
Mangosuthu Buthelez's INKATIiA
Uberation Movement, all leading
African liberation organizations -
ANC, PAC, AZAPO, COSATU, etc.
- stayed way from de Klerk's
meeting to end the pate of violence
in the Black ghettos around Johan­
nesburg, which have ccounted for
about 6,000 slain Black people since
1986.
The main re ODS why Black
liberation movements stayed away
from the meeting were:
(1) that the violence wu apart­
beid-orlented; (2) that most of the
violence only affected Africans; (3)
that the regime Uself, through the
bNtaUty of ita police and military
forces, inOicled more deaths among
the African population' (4) that the
regime Usel mOlt of the lethal
weaponry· for buman destruction
than the faction fighters wbo are cur­
rently lenorizing the Black ghettos,
and (5) that it was an established fact
that members of the police force and
Afrikaner murder quads were
responsible for organizing most of
the faction fights in the Black ghettos
around JobannesbWJ.
President de Klerk' meeting fell
far short of expectations. It was only
an exercise in futiUty, and had DO
effect in bringing about any amount
of national reconciliation among
members of tbe African population.
However, the meeting offered
,limpae of tbe grave danaera in­
herent in an aroused Zulu
natiooaUam hieb w sparked-off
by do KIeft's attempt to d rm the
Zulus, and ANC and INKA1HA not
merely _ rivals but 1W0rn foes, and
frultra to every atlempt to recon­
cile them. The meeting failed to incb
the peace between rival Stack or-
pnizatio .- t.� recoDCi1iation.
From tb .u utlinea, Dr. Alan
Boeaak, addreulng a Democratic
Party conference in Cape To n,
called on ANC to ndon the lan-
of violence t INKATHA
at any level.

both weighty and efficacious, be­
cause the maintenance of law and

not of the African liberation move­

Another participant from the
. deli IllS w former British Prime
inis er Margaret Thatcher who
happened to be visiting South Africa
at the time of de Klerk's peace meet­
ing.
Speaking at Ulundu the capital of
the kwaZulu Bantustan, Mrs.
1batcber said, inter alia, that invest­
ment would flow back into South
Africa only once a genuinely
demoaatic constitution, backed by a
free market economy and sensible
economic policies, wu achieved.
Continuing, the vefSltile former
Britisb premier pointed out that there
no way out of the South African
debacle other than through negotia­
tions.
But Mrs. Thatcher avoided to
point. out that negotiations were al­
ready floundering because of Presi­
dent de Klerk's racism, misNle and
failure to maintain law and order in
the country.
THREE DAYS after de Klerk's
aborted meeting, tbe Secretary­
General of the Organization of
African Unity (OAU), Salim Salim,
i ued a press release in which he
stated, inter alia, "Africa a whole
is d ty-bound to devise ways and

above all tmponant that African
countries peak with one vo ee, act
in concert and adopt a common poIi­
tion. In the history of the struggle for
freedom and independence, the
coordinated and united position of
Africa in suppon of the freedom
