Latest round of Soweto violence kills three
United Press International
JOHANNESBURG — Security forces fired on rioters in the black township of Soweto, killing at least three people, the South African government said yesterday. A witness said as many as eight people died in the clash.
In a separate incident in Soweto, residents said four white men fired on a group of children from a moving bus, killing an 11-year-old boy and three others. The government could not confirm the report.
It was the bloodiest night in Soweto, the sprawling black township of 2 million people southwest of Johannesburg, since Aug. 26, when police killed at least 21 blacks who were protesting the eviction of rent boycotters.
More than 2,300 people, the overwhelming majority of them black, have been killed since
a wave of violence over the white-minority government's policies of racial separation, known as apartheid, erupted in September 1984. The country had been under a state of emergency since June.
Government officials confirmed that police in Soweto's Orlando West section shot at blacks who were tossing gasoline bombs and stones. Three people were killed by the police gunfire.
One witness said eight people were killed and 20 were wounded.
Residents said the clash erupted when lookouts blew whistles to warn of an impending eviction by township authorities.
The alarm system had been in force for some months to prevent the eviction of tenants who refused to pay rent for their homes to the government-created Soweto township council.
The rent boycott was to protest poor facilities and government-imposed residential segregation. The residents said no one was evicted Wednesday.
"Crowds poured out onto the streets to fight the eviction and the police seemed to get scared. They started to shoot. I saw four bodies on the ground," said one witness.
Residents of Soweto's Pimville section, 4 miles south of Orlando West, said Bongani Kheswa, 11, and four of his friends were shot by four white men from a moving bus.
The government Bureau for Information, the sole source of authorized information on unrest under the emergency, confirmed that Kheswa was killed but that it was not clear whether he was shot. The four other children were wounded.
In the south coastal city of Port Elizabeth,
General Motors officials said a 9-day-old strike over the American company's plan to sell its South African assets to a local consortium would end today. About 500 workers were fired yesterday for occupying two plants.
But Fred Sauls, a leader of the National Automobile and Allied Workers Union, said that no settlement was reached in a three-hour meeting with GM officials yesterday.
"Things are looking a lot worse," he said.
"We are in an absolute deadlock. Talks with GM have ended. They are not prepared to talk unless the workers go back (to work) tomorrow."
General Motors announced in October that it was withdrawing from South Africa, citing the poor business climate created by black resistance to white rule and the failure of the government to reform apartheid.

Students to vote on impeaching Reagan
United Press International
PROVIDENCE, R.J. — Brown University students will vote next week on a referendum calling for President Reagan's impeachment.
The referendum, sponsored by a newly formed group called Students for Ethical Government, collected 506 signatures to place it on the ballot in next week's undergraduate government election.
The ballot question has angered at least one university official, who accused senior John Bonifaz of grandstanding for the media. Bonifaz was also behind the referendum that called on the
school to have suicide pills on hand for students to take if a nuclear war erupted.
"We believe this is a media event designed to bring attention to them personally," said Robert Reichley, vice president of University Relations. "This time . . . he has gone too far."
The group specifically said the Reagan administration had carried on an illegal war in Nicaragua, disseminated false information about Libya and covered up information
Reichley said the Ivy League school would not interfere with the referendum, which Bonifaz said sought Reagan's ouster because of his "consistent and shocking disregard for international law and constitutional limitations on the power of the presidency."
