SOUTH AFRICA
Unexpected Visitor

<body>
<p> As the entourage made its way around the country's largest
black township, young men cried, "Viva, comrade!" and children
shouted, "Welcome!" Greetings for African National Congress
leader Nelson Mandela? No. Last week crowds in Soweto (pop. 2
million) were showing appreciation for a white politician.
President F.W. de Klerk took an unannounced tour of Soweto
following weeks of violence involving rival black factions and
security forces. Blacks cheered De Klerk, explained Agnes
Molahlehi, 25, a nursing student, because he freed Mandela and
has taken steps to abolish apartheid.
</p>
<p> But the violence shows no sign of abating. Later in the
week, two black gunmen opened fire at a Johannesburg train
station, killing five blacks.
