...will be reserved, might do so, but their participation would keep out antiapartheid activists who consider them collaborators. The most important homeland leader, KwaZulu Chief Minister Mangosuthu Buthelezi, says he will take part only if he receives a "massive mandate" from his political organization, Inkatha, and if imprisoned Black Nationalist Nelson Mandela is freed and offered a chance to join...
