Striking South Africans March in Uitenhage Amid Turmoil
South African workers in Uitenhage, a hub of the motor industry near Port Elizabeth, marched for a fourth day amid industrial unrest. More than 7,000 workers face pay demands or job losses as factories stay closed for missing components, with some sources citing broader political and social grievances behind the strikes. A convoy of riot vehicles trailed the demonstrators, but no clashes occurred, while the Cape Flatlands remained calm after earlier deadly rioting.

Senate Vote Shifts Bill to Guarantee Chrysler Loan
The Senate approved a change from a direct loan to a loan guarantee for Chrysler by a 28 to 25 vote. The plan would have the state back guarantees of up to 75 million in private loans with bonds needing 36 votes, a hurdle likely unmet. Gov. Thompson signaled philosophical concerns about bailouts while fearing job losses for Illinois workers if Chrysler bankrupts. Chrysler seeks 20 million from Illinois as part of a larger 2 billion package across nations, states, and Detroit.
