Bomb kills 10, injures 41 in South Africa
Elections start today violence could scare voters from the polls
The Associated Press
GERMISTON, South Africa — As a wave of terrorist bombs cut a swath of death in South Africa, the government ordered out more than 100,000 police to guard voters in the election beginning today that would bring Blacks to power in South Africa.
A bomb hidden in a trailer ripped through a tsxi stand yesterday in the eastern suburb of Germiston, striking the mostly Black commuters in a fire storm of glass and twisted metal. Ten people died, and 41 were wounded a day after a similar car bomb in downtown Johannesburg killed nine.
Late yesterday, police reported an explosion in a tavern in a Pretoria suburb used as a transit point by Black commuters. Police said there
had been about 30 people injured.
"A group of desperate people has ... declared war on the rest of this society." President F.W. de Klerk said. "We will not rest until they have been tracked down, convicted and punished, as they deserve."
In the attacks in the Johannesburg area, up to 220 pounds of explosives were used. Authorities thought that the bombings were linked and announced they had taken one person in for questioning.
Survivors said they had seen whites fleeing the vehicles before they exploded, adding to suspicions that the bombbings were the work of right-wingers bent on disrupting the election that would see the sunset of white rule in Africa.
There were at least 10 smaller bombings Sunday and yesterday that caused no casualties but escalated the tension. Electric pylons and Black taxi stands were targeted.
Debris was scattered throughout a four-block area of Germiston, a satellite city of Johannesburg, after the blast. Pieces of exploded vehicles
hung from tree limbs; body parts and twisted metal lay on the ground.
The explosions sparked the biggest peaceetime military call-up in the country's history, Deputy Law and Order Minister Gert Myburgh said. He refused to give numbers but said that in addition to army troops, more than 100,000 police — more than double the number originally planned — would be deployed at voting stations
Would be deployed at polling stations.
Polls open at 7 a.m. today for "special voting" for invalids, hospital patients, pregnant women and the elderly. General voting is to take place tomorrow and Thursday. The election will be the first time members of South Africa's Black majority will be able to elect their leaders.
Nelson Mandela's African National Congress is the overwhelming favorite to win. Mandela, who served 27 years in prison for opposing apartheid, is expected to be formally inaugurated as president May 10.
In a symbol of the eclipse of white power, the all-white parliament was called into session in Cape Town yesterday one last time to amend the constitution to provide for the creation of a Zulu constitutional monarchy in the eastern province of Natal.
With leopard-skinned Zulus looking on, the amendments sealed a deal to bring the Zulu nationalist Inkatha Freedom Party into the election.
By making provisions for Zulu royalists and for moderate right-wingers in recent weeks, the government and the ANC have neutralized all but the most radical of the opponents.
"These are really small bands of desperate people — and doubly dangerous because they are desperate," political analyst David Welsh of the University of Cape Town said.
The bombing campaign may backfire if the terrorists hope to scare people away from the polls, he said.
"Certainly among Black people, it has stepped up their determination to vote, which was very strong all along." Welsh said.
The greatest effect will be on whites in the rural areas where right-wing fanaticism is concentrated, Welsh said. For them, going to the polls will be "quite a courageous act," he said.
