WORLD IN BRIEF : SOUTH AFRICA : White Government Accepts U.N. Report

Foreign Minister Roelof F. (Pik) Botha said South Africa’s white government accepted a U.N. report recommending ways to halt political violence and urging a resumption of talks on non-racial rule. The report was prepared by the U.N. special envoy and veteran U.S. diplomat, Cyrus R. Vance, after a visit to South Africa in late July and approved by U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali Aug. 6. Recommendations accepted in principle included broad investigations into the country’s security forces and black guerrilla movements and the idea of a general amnesty.
