Waltzing out of apartheid's long shadow

Article Abstract:

David Moerane, 23, has won many ballroom dancing competitions in South Africa since he was 10. He belongs to the African Dance Academy and attends classes under Jabu Vilakazi in Soweto. He helps with the nightly teaching of the Viennese waltz, quick-step, tango and foxtrot. He has competed against whites since 1991 but they have a separate organisation. He has yet to complete his final school examinations as school is often disrupted by ANC comrades who beat up the principal.

Whites vote 'to do the right thing.' (vote to abandon apartheid in South Africa)

Article Abstract:

The referendum by whites in South Africa held on March 17, 1992 resulted in a vote for black political empowerment and represents a significant change of heart and a striving for long term peace. Archbishop Desmond Tutu said that they had done what they knew in their hearts to be right. Blacks will have the right to vote as equals to whites. The victory by F W de Klerk was said by the voters to be the fear of letting the barbaric right immerse the country in a sea of hatred.

Revealing the lost kingdom of apartheid

Article Abstract:

Lost City theme park in Sun City, Bophuthatswana, South Africa is hosting the Miss World contest in Dec 1992 to attract foreign tourists. Bophuthatswana is recognised by Pretoria but nowhere else. It was created for blacks whose land was taken for the whites, but has become a white area. Tycoon Sol Kerzner has created a spectacular casino resort featuring elephant motifs. African National Congress leaders accept the extravagance despite the poverty in neighbouring Ledig.
