An A.N.C. official glanced only casually at visitors as they passed through the half-open steel gate. Within the compound, Oliver Tambo, 68, a lawyer and political activist who became acting president of the organization in 1967, sat inside a cramped and sparsely furnished office, drafting a press statement about the attack.

From neighboring Zimbabwe, ANC Acting President Oliver Tambo, 63, served notice that such violence will increase. Said he: "South Africa is a highly developed industrialized state. A few determined guerrillas can do a lot of damage-and we have more than just a handful of people in the country...
...several countries. Still as we watch the red-faced clownish musician attempting to play a dozen battered instruments taped around a bedframe, we can recapture some of the extemporaneous, frantically amateurish flavour of a uniquely American institution that traces its origins to the days of Mr. Bones and Mr. Tambo...
