S. African protester criticizes Reagan
By IOHN RUZREF
Staff writer
Despite U.S. citizens' opposition to apartheid, the Reagan administration's policy of constructive engagement continues to prop up the South African government, an official of the African National Congress said yesterday.
Shuping Coopage, speaking to about 60 people in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, praised U.S. voters for electing local, state and congressional officials who oppose South Africa's political system of racial discrimination.
"You have set a very good example," he said. "Today, very few officials can stand up and say, 'Yes, I support apartheid.'"
Coapoge is an observer with the African National Congress' mission to the United Nations, which recognized the mission in 1974 after kicking out the South African government.
The Reagan administration wants the ANC to expel the communists from its ranks and end its violent struggle to overthrow the government. Coapoge said.
"ANC embraces all anti-apartheid forces from the extreme left, maybe to the extreme right," he said. "The ANC has no right to tell anybody what political, or rather, what ideological stand to take."
The administration's policy of constructive engagement is responsible for the state of emergency and news blackout, he said.
Also, recent reforms in the South African government, such as allowing citizens of Indian and mixed-race descent to have some political power,
haven't changed apartheid's corner-stones, he said.
"Let Both她 the elections," he said. "Let the status quo stay as it is. Any change would be fooling the world."
The ANC wants a one-man, one-vote, non-racial democracy. he said.
ideal democracy, he said. "It's a long, hard struggle," he said. "We don't see any short solutions. But it would be nice if it was short. That's why we are pushing for economic sanctions."
