Ballot shortage threatens election
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
[AP) — Police said they crushed a
right-wing bombing spree Wednes
day, but South Africa’s historic elec
tion came under threat of collapse
from mile-long lines of voters and a
shortage of ballots.
Police announced they had arrested
? 1 while extremists suspected of be
ing behind a bombing spree that has
tilled 21 in recent days. The latest
jomb exploded Wednesday at
lohannesburg’s Jan Smuts airport,
injuring 18.
Nothing could stop the great tide of
voters on the second day of the three
day elections, nor the euphoria fel t by
many blacks as they cast the first
^allots of their lives. On Tuesday,
landicappcd, elderly and expatriate
voters had their turn.
I liv ^UVVIIIIIIVIII wvg,uii
m il 1 ions of new ballots, say ing it woul d
have 5 million more ready by Thurs
day morning. The army said il would
help print and transport bal lots, which
never arrived at some stations. And
[he government was discussing ex
tending the vote by a day.
At 7 a.m., African National Con
gress leader Nelson Mandela, 75, was
able to cast the first ballot of his life,
declaring “the beginning of a new
:ra” after dropping his ballot into a
simple brown box in Durban.
“We have moved from an era of
pessimism, division, and limited op
bortunitics. We are starting a new era
bf hope, of reconciliation, of nation
building," declared the likely leader
bf his country by next week.
Fifteen minutes after Mandela’s
✓otc was broadcast live nationwide, a
bomb detonated inside a sedan parked
butsidc the international terminal at
lohannesburg’s Jan Smuts Airport.
Eighteen people were wounded.
This time police were quick to an
nounce they had apprehended a sus
pect, a tall white man wearing the
khaki clothing favored by the while
right-wingers believed behind a spate
of bombs exploded this week in an
attempt to derail the election.
In the violence-wracked East Rand
near Johannesburg, a truck carrying
ballots to votingstations in Katlchong
was hijacked.
The Independent Electoral Com
mission agreed late Wednesday to
postpone poll closings from 7 p.m. to
midnight. Thursday was declared a
holiday so more people could miss
work and stand in line.
' The commission pledged that poll
ing stations would remain open as
long as needed to accommodate ev
eryone in line at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Election officials admitted that
there might simply be more South
African voters than they had esti
mated based on previous censuses.
Judge Johann Kricglcr ordered the
printing of9.3 million additional bal
lots.

Mangosuthu Buthclczi threatened to
pull h is parlyout unlcssofficials agreed
to extend the three-day balloting to
solve the glitches.
Bulhclc/.i’s parly did not agree to
contest the election until April 19,
and one of the main hang-ups that
emerged Wednesday was that polling
places lacked the stickers used to add
Inkatha to the ballot.
Writing in Inkatha, would not
work, Buthelezi said, because many
of his supporters were illiterate and
their ballot secrecy would be violated
if they received help.
White conservative leader
-«
If even two years
ago, you had told me
blacks and whites
would be voting
together in
Ventersdorp, I would
have told you it was
a dream.
—Van der Velde
Methodistpastor
Constant! Viljocn said delays and
bungles were turning the vote that
will transfer power to the country’s
black majority into “an embarrass
ment of world proportions.”
I n Mondcor,outside Johannesburg,
entrepreneurs sold pizzas and hot dogs
to people in a four-hour queue.
In Ventersdorp, whites and blacks
voted together peacefully less than
two blocks from heavily barricaded
AWB headquarters.
“Ifeven twoyearsago, youhad told
me blacks and whites would be voting
together in Ventersdorp, I would have
told you it was a dream,” Rob Van der
Velde, a Methodist pastor, said.
Reporters saw blacks driving trac
tors pulling flatbed trucks carrying as
many as 80 black voters to the polls.
Asked where they got the tractors
from, they said the white bosses had
lent them and given them the day off.
The suspects, including members
of the notorious neo-Nazi Afrikaner
Resistance Movement, were wanted
in a string of panic-sowing bombings
that have Killed 21 and wounded more
than 170 since Sunday.
