The Supreme Court judge Richard Goldstone said the Pretoria inquiry, starting next month, would be monitored by a UN observer. And the Transkei military ruler, Bantu Holomisa, reportedly asked President FW de Klerk to co-operate with a judicial inquiry in the homeland into allegations that APLA operates from its territory.
In Johannesburg, APLA's parent body, the Pan-Africanist Congress, said attacks would go on until there was a 'commitment' by the government to stop township violence and hold elections.
