JOHANNESBURG, South Africa —
Thousands of students walked out of about 40 high schools in the black township of Soweto today in a coordinated school boycott, but there were no reports of incidents.
Following the instructions on pamphlets distributed throughout Soweto, the students showed up at their schools, then walked out en masse. By 11 a.m. all middle and high schools in the township were deserted, said a local reporter who made a tour of the township.
