Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) Dr. Abby Nkomo, Chairman of the Atteridgeville/Saulsville Civic Association, is representative of the majority of South Africans who seek peaceful change in South Africa; (2) the Government of South Africa is encouraged to enter into dialogue with such moderate forces so that positive action can be taken to bring an end to apartheid; (3) Dr. Nkomo, like thousands of similar victims, has been deprived of civil rights by the current detention under the state of emergency regulations; and (4) South African actions toward Dr. Nkomo and all other individuals are condemned as an obstruction to peaceful change in South Africa.
