...subject to an Afrikaans-speaking tribal government," says Harry Oppenheimer, chairman of the Anglo American Corp. of South Africa Ltd., a mining empire.

American investment in South Africa amounts to about $1.5 billion. U.S. companies are bound by American law to avoid discrimination?but cannot always do so if they hope to stay in business in South Africa.
