(1 Apr 1988) QUOTE REF SOUTH AFRICA/FRANCE: Conservative Party wins crushing victory
GS04048813 over National Party in by-election in Randfontein with Corne
4.4.88 Mulder beating Boy Geldenhuys. Ex-Cabinet Minister and leader
of the Conservative Party, Andries Treurnicht, described the
routing of Prime Minister PW Botha's National Party in the
by-election as a dramatic rejection of his government's
reform policies. In Paris, an exiled representative of the
African National Congress, Mrs Dulcie September, was shot
dead as she arrived at work. South West African Peoples
Organisation (SWAPO) spokesman Eddie Angonka linked the
killing to the South African security forces. South African
students from eight Universities individually handed in
protests about the banning of political groups oppossed to
apartheid and cuts in student grants, submitting their
protests singly as a means of circumventing the ban.
Student leader Steve Kromberg claimed "unprecedented unity"
among anti-apartheid groups protesting current government
policies. The neo-Nazi Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweeging Party
headed by Eugene Terre'Blanche extended its influence outside
of the Orange Free State and Transvaal holding a rally in
Cape Town. Date Shot: 30.3+Cape 1.4.88
