Buthelezi, whose base is in Natal, has
joined pro-apartheid whites in oppos-

Buthelezi also is chief minister of
the KwaZulu Black homeland, which
lost a court challenge yesterday to the
setting of the election date. The Pretoria
Supreme Courtdismissed the KwaZulu
charges that negotiators improperly
approved the election date over the pro-
tests of KwaZulu, Inkatha and the pro-
apartheid Conservative Party. Those
groups have since boycotted the talks.
