...SOUTH AFRICA, DOUBTS REmain about the degree to which the white minority has truly been rooted out of power. Last week there was more evidence that it has been, as former Defense Minister Magnus Malan and 19 other former military leaders and security officials stood in a Durban courtroom, where they were charged with murder. The indictment did not claim that all the men were present on the night in 1987 when 13 people, including seven children, were shot to death in a Zulu village.

...over disclosures that Pretoria interfered in black politics by secretly funding Inkatha Freedom Party, a rival of the African National Congress. Denying that he had a double agenda, De Klerk nonetheless sidelined two Cabinet members at the center of the doubts about the government's integrity: Defense Minister Magnus Malan and Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok. But rather than dismiss them, as demanded by the A.N.C., De Klerk appointed them to other Cabinet posts. De Klerk also fell short of satisfying demands for an independent inquiry. The President did, however, invite prospective witnesses to alleged police misconduct against...
