 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Calls upon the South African Government to: (1) repeal all laws and legislation that maintain the system of apartheid; and (2) release all political prisoners, terminate the policy of detention without trial, cease all executions of political prisoners, and grant all black South African exiles the opportunity to return home.

Urges the President: (1) through the Secretary of State, to investigate the South African Government's role in the factional fighting affecting the black townships and reports of official South African death squads; and (2) not to ease or lift sanctions against such Government under the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 until all the preconditions for lifting such Act are met and the process toward the establishment of nonracial democracy is irreversible.
