Africa arrests 50 black leaders JOIHANNEStURG, S o u t h Africa AP) - Security police have arrested at least 50 black leaders in a nationwide crack- down on black nationalist groups susnected of fomenting South Africa's bloody racial npheavals, sources said yester- day. Only a few new outbreaks of violence were reported follow- ing two days of riots in black townshins outside Cape Town in which at least 79 blacks were killed and some 100 injured. SOUTH, AFRICA'S commis- sioner of police, Gen. Gert Prinsloo, confirmed in Pre- toria that a number of blacks were being held under the re- cently enacted Internal Security Act but declined to give de- tails. The act provides for deten- tion without trial of those ar- rested. Police in Port Eliza- beth, 550 miles south of here, confirmed one arrest, that of, Barney Pityana, general secre- tarv of the Black South African Students Association. Black sources said most of those arrested were from around Johannesburg, and oth- ers were from Cape Town, King William's Town, Grahams- town, Durban and Shepstone. ALONG WITH the arrests, po- lice were on alert throughout the country. Police Brig. Jan Visser flew to Cape Town with 130 reinforcements and said, "I have just been sent down to put a stop to the rioting here and that is just what I am go- ing to do." At the same time, Minister of Police James Kruger said South Africa's whites, with 17 per cent of the 25 million popu- lation, must not lash back at the black disturbances. He said the government would move quickly to give blacks a bet- ter deal under the apartheid policy of segregation and sepa- rate development of the races. "W will have to give the, black man so many things ba- sic to him and his life that he will believe in us and in sepa- rate development, so the black man can say, "If this is what I get from this policy and these hands, then I am satisfied,"'; Kruger told a meeting of the ruling National Party in Dur- ban. HE WARNED black nation- alist groups against fomenting disturbances. "The black power movement will bump its head in a bloody way in this country if it seeks confrontation," Kruger said. "We are ready, we are able." Most of the reported arrests involved leaders of black na- tionalist groups. One was Mrs. Winnie Mandela, 42, wife of imprisoned black nationalist Nelson Mandela and a member of the Black Parents Associa- tion in Soweto, the black town- shin near Johannesburg where 476 died in riots in June. NELSON MANDELA is lead- er of the banned African Na- tional Congress (ANC) and is regarded by many black mili- tants as the true leader of South Africa's 18 million blacks. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1964 for conspiring to overthrow the government. Kruger said last week the ANC may be partly responsi- ble for the upheavals in black townships across South Africa in recent weeks. The Soweto riots developed out of demonstrations against the use of Afrikaans language in school. The studjents felt the language was impractical and also a symbol of white oppres- sion. The government rescind- ed its order on Afrikaans, and demonstrators recently have demanded that persons arrested earlier be freed. T H E C H A N T I N G of black power songs and slo- gans has given the demonstra- tions a definite antigovernment flavor. The black sources said 'the Rev. Mangaliso Mkatswa, sec- retary of the Roman Catholic Bishops' Conference, was ar- rested, along with Dan Mok- wen, a member of the confer- ence staff. Others reported ar- rested were Harrison Motlana, a Soweto leader; Samson Ndou, a former ANC leader, and Leo- nardo ,Appies, a student leader in Cape Town. the ann, arbor film cooperative -TONIGHT- SPECIAL UNSCHEDULED SHOWING of MEL bROOKS BLAZ I NG SADDLES ML5 4 Perhaps tiar last word in Western perodies A BaceSrilrod worker itleavss Little)Is appointed sheriff at alt-white and bigoted Rockridge in this uproarious, contagious, outrageous and oometimoes vulgar comedy.
