South Africans mourn slain leader
80,000 people pay tribute at funeral
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa — Millions of blacks across
South Africa boycotted work
Monday to honor slain leader
Chris Hani, who was buried in an
emotional ceremony as police
clashed with enraged youths.
At least 26 people were killed
Sunday night and Monday, nearly
all in Johannesburg's black
townships, including two people
whose charred bodies were found
in a house near the stadium
where the funeral was held.
More than 80,000 grieving
blacks honored Hani at a peaceful
ceremony in the stadium.
Thousands of mourners, unable to
get into the packed stadium.
stood outside.
Police fought running battles
outside the stadium with
hundreds of youths who fired
guns, hurled rocks and set fire to
several buildings. At least 10
people were wounded, officials
said.
Business groups said at least
half the country's six million
black workers stayed away from
work Monday, the second major
one-day strike to mourn Hani in a
week. Johannesburg and other
city centers were largely deserted.
Nineteen people were killed
Sunday night in drive-hy attacks
by black gunmen in the Sebokeng
black township, and three people
were killed Monday in Vosloorus
as they went to the funeral, police
said.
Also Monday, police said they
found the body of a man who had r -
been shot to death in the )
Katlehong township out of
Johannesburg. It was not clear if
the deaths were linked to the
funeral.
Police fired shotguns and
rubber bullets at protesters
blocking a road near Cape Town
on Monday, injuring five people.
Hani, head of the Communist
Party and a top African National
Congress official, was one of the
country's most popular black
leaders.
Despite scattered violence
since Hani was killed by a white
gunman April 10, reaction to the
death of one of the country's )
major black leaders has been
fairly restrained.
