South Africa’s far right unveiled an election manifesto in Pretoria pledging white power and a reversal of reforms in apartheid. The Conservative Party, the second largest in the Sept. 6 election, would halt an independence plan for Namibia and ban the growing contacts between white South Africans and opposition groups such as the African National Congress, its manifesto said. Conservatives would divide South Africa into 13 “heartlands.” Under this concept, whites would retain control over all urban and industrial areas in the country, with some rural areas going to Indians, people of mixed race (“coloreds”) and 10 separate black groups.
