Soweto clashes mark worst unrest since June riots
In Soweto, about 20 000 demonstrators clashed with police as armored units patrolled the township. Witnesses said three blacks died and 18 were injured after police opened fire, a claim police denied noting 13 injured. The march aimed at Johannesburg's police headquarters followed student protests over a language policy and broader grievances of South Africa's black majority. US Secretary Kissinger arrived in London amid cautious hopes for a peaceful transition of power.
