He urged burial and stated he would continue to speak at meetings responsibly as a minister.

House and Senate negotiators urged an urgent ban on krugerrands and the creation of a U.S. gold coin for investors as part of a sanctions package to pressure Pretoria over apartheid. The deal also bars nuclear tech exports, restricts police material sales, and blocks new bank loans while permitting some U S investments, with a one year review for added sanctions if progress stalls.

Chief Justice Dickson cautions public officials must be bound by law.
