South Africa's state of emergency stifles opposition
An Associated Press analysis notes six months of emergency rule has slowed the anti-apartheid movement but at heavy cost to the Botha government. Sanctions, disinvestment, and isolation bite the economy, while opposition groups claim renewed street organizing persists. Detentions of about 20,000 activists underscore the regime’s grip as violence and unrest continue.

In Johannesburg government officials meet with Newspaper Press Union leaders and hint at a broader crackdown on media and democratic groups amid ongoing racial unrest. President Botha has already imposed a nationwide state of emergency restricting press freedom. The action follows more than 2,300 deaths since 1984. U.S. officials condemn the move amid questions on press rights.
