De Klerk to See Mandela on ‘Sticking Points’
- Share via
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — President Frederik W. de Klerk will meet black nationalist Nelson R. Mandela today to discuss problems concerning his release after 27 years in prison, a senior South African government source said Wednesday.
The source, who declined to be named, said that De Klerk and Mandela will discuss “sticking points that have arisen in plans for Mr. Mandela’s release.”
He appeared to refer to statements last Saturday by Mandela’s wife, Winnie, that problems had arisen in Mandela’s talks with the government about the terms of his release from a life sentence on sabotage charges.
