Inkatha Freedom Party leader Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi traveled to Soweto, a stronghold of the rival African National Congress, and told a crowd of 20,000 supporters that their struggle was almost over.

The Zulu-dominated Inkatha and the ANC have waged virtual warfare for years in a political and tribal rivalry.
