...actually happened. They could be satisfied that Helen Suzman easily returned to Parliament for a ninth time, but little else. The party lost ground in Natal, where it has traditionally been strong, because it had supported a proposal for a multiracial, black-led provincial government in cooperation with KwaZulu Chief Minister Mangosuthu Buthelezi. Worried about the future, large numbers of English-speaking South Africans, who normally are more liberal on racial issues than the Afrikaners, jumped this time from the Progressives to the National Party. Concluded an editorial in the Johannesburg newspaper Business Day: "English voters, sacrificing at last...
...children without trial, and they support the actions of the security forces." All that was left for opponents of the government to do, he continued, was to resist "as strongly as we can."

He declared, "I am totally appalled at what happened, and I see a long, hard, costly political grind ahead."

Last month Buthelezi opened a historic indaba, or meeting, between whites and blacks to discuss guidelines for creating in his home state of Natal the country's first completely multiracial government. If the proposals are ever accepted, Buthelezi, who has steadfastly refused government offers of independence for KwaZulu, the territory within Natal designated as the Zulu homeland, could become provincial governor, the first black ever to hold such a post. Some observers suggest that the innovative power-sharing plan could serve as a model for the country as a whole. Indeed, if apartheid were to be totally dismantled and black...
