PRETORIA : Marching In S. Africa
- Share via
Midway through a week of national protest in South Africa, Nelson Mandela leads his African National Congress supporters onto the streets of Pretoria Wednesday for a march on the Union Buildings, the seat of government.
The march, one of dozens planned countrywide Wednesday through Friday, follows a two-day national strike scheduled to end today.
The protests are the culmination of a monthlong “mass action” campaign devised by the ANC and its union allies to force the government to meet ANC conditions for resuming negotiations with the white government.
