ANC, Pretoria to Discuss Elections
- Share via
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The government and the ANC will meet next week to discuss a date for elections to end white-minority rule, a joint statement said Friday.
The meeting is seen as a first step toward settling disagreements over when to hold the vote and resume talks on giving political power to the black majority. The African National Congress has rejected a government proposal to have elections in early 1994.
The talks, scheduled for Wednesday to Friday, also should cover the violence in black townships that has stalled such talks.
Officials indicated that Constitutional Development Minister Roelf Meyer and ANC Secretary General Cyril Ramaphosa would lead the delegations.
