PAGE 2 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1994 while he is very concerned with the violence that continues to plague the KwaZulu region of South _ Africa, â€" Buthelezi‘s announcement was the best news he has heard since arriving in the country April 9. "The decision of Buthelezi to enter the election has changed the mood here rather dramatically. Many of the people were suddenly finding out that after all these years of waiting, they weren‘t going to be allowed to vote by their chief. They‘re much happier now, because everybody wants to vote. "It‘s changed the complexion of the election here and somewhat reduced the violence." McLean said there was just enough time to add Buthelezi‘s Inkatha Freedom Party to each of the 40 million election ballots by means of a sticker. However, there has not been enough time for voter education in KwaZulu. "My big concern is this is an area loaded with guns and a lot of tradiâ€" tion of violence, so when you haven‘t had voter education and your party doesn‘t win ..." He said no election materials had reached one area of 18 polls he visited last week because, "Nobody dared drive trucks in the area because they‘d be blown up."

"The fact that they‘ve settled political differences doesn‘t mean that if somebody last week killed someone in your family, you‘re not out to settle the score." Party’lfihndin'polkyd "divide and conquer" is most strongly felt in this crowded, dusty region which few of the whites 10 miles away in Port Shepstone even know exists. t Daily battles keep the death toll rising steadily. "It reminds you a bit of a wild west movie â€"â€" people with guns in their belts and their hip pockets. You‘ve got to rememâ€" ber that there are twice as many guns (per capita) in South Africa as there are in the United States. "We‘re here observing this, but you always want to keep your head down. We want to come Over 2,500 people have been killed in Natal Province (which includes KwaZulu) alone. But if there were no observers there, it could well have been 25,000 or more, he said. "It‘s as if your neighbors were fighting each other. With someone home very much alive." watching they don‘t beat each other with the same fervor."

"But it‘s amazing, with today‘s a way, that‘s what they‘re trying to do here. It almost seems beyond the possible, yet there‘s now quite a genuine political will to make this election go. ‘ "A few years ago, I wouldn‘t have believed it. It shows that human nature can change." McLean said it‘s hard for him to describe to Canadians what a revoâ€" lutionary thing an election is for South Africa‘s black population. For example, he said, "When the South Africans came to our (1992 constitutional) referendum, they were all surprised there were no guns around in the polling places." "I was sitting in the campaign office of one of the parties today and I saw signs piled in the corner, phones put in temporarily and a lot of people running in and out.
