Temporary leader
South Africa’s official Opposition party, in disarray following the surprise resignation of its leader, Frederik van Zyl Slabbert, has elected a moderate long-time politician as acting leader. The Progressive Federal Party’s federal council named Colin Eglin, aged 60, leader until it elects a permanent leader later this year. Mr Slabbert resigned earlier this month in dismay over the lack of apartheid reform by Parliament.— Johannesburg.
