Apartheid is dead, say French M.P.s
NZPA-Reuter Johannesburg Nine French members of Parliament ended a two-week visit to South Africa declaring that apartheid was dead and describing international sanctions against Pretoria as a serious political error.
They said South Africa was on the road to genuine democracy and called for supportive measures from the West to permit South Africa to achieve this without human suffering.
"Apartheid has been abolished by the South African Government in
1984 and ... no discrimination between whites, Coloureds, Asians and blacks exists in public places that were frequented (by them),” they said in a statement released at a news conference at Johannesburg airport.
The nine were Jean Brocard, Charles Deprez and Jean Brianeud, of the Union pour la Democratie Francaise; Pierre Mauger, Rene Couveinhes and Jean Kiffer, of the Rassemblement pour la Republique; and Bruno Gollnisch, Jean-Pierre Schenardi and JeanPierre Stirbois of the farright Front National.
