At least five South African blacks, including two children, were killed as violence flared in black townships. At Tembisa, a township east of Johannesburg, a boy of 6 and his 10-year-old sister died when a grenade was thrown into their home. In the same township, a bomb killed a woman in a shop owned by the mayor. And the burned and stabbed bodies of two anti-apartheid black activists, Matthew Goniwe and Fort Calata, were found at the edge of a road outside Port Elizabeth. Nearly 20,000 gold miners, meanwhile, ended a two-day wildcat strike.
