World IN BRIEF : SOUTH AFRICA : Curfew Imposed on 2 Black Townships

Authorities imposed emergency regulations and a curfew on two black townships near the capital of Pretoria to quell anti-government rioting that left two dead and 25 wounded. The battles were triggered by the suspension of power to the area because residents have been boycotting payment of electric bills to protest poor municipal services. Also, President Frederik W. de Klerk announced that he will increase his Cabinet by two ministers to 20, effective Wednesday. The move is designed to make the government more efficient as it negotiates a new post-apartheid constitution, De Klerk said.
