Olympic Games
South Africa, an Olympic outcast since 1970, could return to the Olympic Games in 1992 if delegates from the International Olympic Committee accept President F.W. de Klerk’s assurance that all apartheid laws will be scrapped by the end of June.
De Klerk talked for more than an hour with the IOC Commission on Apartheid and Olympism in Cape Town, South Africa. IOC director-general Francois Carrard said the delegates were “extremely impressed.”
The IOC visit coincided with one of the worst outbreaks of violence between police and blacks in months. Twelve supporters of the African National Congress died Sunday when police fired on them.
