- <p> DIED. Oliver Tambo, 75, dignified former president of the
- African National Congress; of a stroke; in Johannesburg. After
- opening Johannesburg's first black law firm, Tambo and Nelson
- Mandela helped found the A.N.C. Youth League in 1944 and battled
- apartheid in the streets--as well as the courts. After the
- A.N.C. was banned and Mandela imprisoned, Tambo led the struggle
- in exile, working for diplomatic and economic sanctions against
- South Africa and setting up guerrilla units in neighboring black
- states. Debilitated by a stroke since his return in December
- 1990, he was replaced as president in 1991 by Mandela.
