Early election returns favor Mandela, de Klerk
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The African National Congress reached out to opposition parties yesterday, suggesting that pro-spartheid whites and Zulu nationalists could take part in South Africa's first Black-led government.
Early results from the country's first democratic election showed the ANC solidifying its commanding lead.
ANC representative Pallo Jordan said Nelson Mandela would not claim victory yesterday because of the small number of votes counted but added, "We'll boogie nonetheless, because we think it's about time we did."
A strong showing by President F. W. de Klerk's National Party left other parties in the dust, suggesting a postaparthid power structure not much different from the Mandela-de Klerk team that led the transition to democracy.
With about 16 percent of the vote counted, Mandela's ANC had 52.9 percent, followed by 33.7 percent for the Nationalists, the party that built and dismantled apartheid. The Zulu nationalist party was a distant third with 3.9 percent, and the pro-apartheid Freedom Front had 3.8 percent.
"In spite of the proportional voting system, we are heading for a two-party system," said political commentator Sample Terreblanche, referring to the allocation of Parliament and Cabinet seats according to each party's vote total. With 5 percent of the vote needed to win a Cabinet seat, the ANC and National Party headed for a sweep.
Whatever the final tally, the ANC was certain to be the overall victor based on Mandela's overwhelming popularity among the Black majority.
Jordan, the ANC representative, said the group's projections indicated it would win 58 percent of the vote, substantially less than the two-thirds majority needed to write a permanent, post-apartheid constitution single-handedly.
The new 400-seat Parliament will elect a president Friday, setting the stage for Mandela to replace de Klerk as head of state. De Klerk is expected to be vice president.
While vote-counting was painfully slow, starting more than 12 hours late in some places, early results showed that despite fierce campaigning, smaller parties could not compete with de Klerk and Mandela's powerful presence.
Together, the two men launched negotiations that dismantled apartheid and led to the country's first democratic election last week. When other parties walked out on the talks in anger, the ANC and Nationalist persevered, agreeing to create a government of national unity rather than a winner-take-all system. Their efforts were recognized last year by the Nobel Committee, which awarded Mandela and de Klerk the 1993 Peace Prize.
Critics, including Inkatha leader Mangosuthu Betheleja and right-wing white groups, accused de Klerk and Mandela of hijacking the negotiations and ignoring their demands.
In a spirit of further compromises, there was talk yesterday of relaxing the rule that mandated 5 percent support for a Cabinet seat.
"We want to make government as inclusive as possible," Jordan said. "We would not exclude the idea of the IFP being part of a government of national unity, even if it did not attain 5 percent. He said the same would apply to the right-wing white Freedom Front.
Election officials said final results would not be available until tonight.
President pushes bill to ban assault guns
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Without the Clinton-backed ban on assault weapons, ducks are better protected than people, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen said yesterday. But the head of the National Rifle Association said President Clinton did not understand guns.
The NRA's Wayne LaPierre took issue with Clinton's distinction between hunting rifles and the assault weapons that Clinton says are designed for the battlefield and should be outlawed.
"The good guns they don't want to ban and the guns they want to ban all
fire the same — none fires any faster, none makes any bigger holes, none shoots any harder, none makes any bigger noise," LaPierre said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Bentsen said assault guns used in street crime and other violent attacks can carry as many as 90 rounds of ammunition. The law governing the hunting of migratory birds, on the other hand, limits firearms to three shotgun shells, he said.
"Why should we have laws that protect ducks more than human beings?" Bentens asked.
president said he had hunted since his boyhood and knew "the difference between a firearm used for hunting and target shooting and a weapon designed to kill people."
The NRA accuses gun-control proponents of using the measure as another toehold in an overall scheme to ban all guns.
LaPierre derided Clinton's open letter Saturday to hunters in which the
Bentsen said that banning all guns was not his goal and that he believed in gun possession for the protection of homes.
The NRA contends stricter anticrime laws and enforcement, rather than restrictions on guns, are the answer to crime.
