WORLD IN BRIEF : SOUTH AFRICA : Keep U.S. Sanctions, Delegation Urges

A U.S. congressional delegation said government reforms in South Africa have failed to address black voting rights. They recommended that U.S. economic sanctions remain in place or even be toughened. The three-member group, led by Rep. Howard Wolpe (D-Mich.), acknowledged “some positive developments” since President Frederik W. de Klerk assumed power in August. But, the delegation added after a five-day visit, “we could find no evidence that the government . . . would in fact accept a democratic government elected by all the people.”
