Voting in South Africa
Lewis, David | April 25, 1987 issue

On May 6, white South Africa will go to the polls to elect its parliamentary representatives and the country's rulers. In downtown Cape Town, the author saw a button that read, "If voting could change the system, it would be illegal." That, as far as it goes, is the last word on the coming elections, which have not the remotest possibility of changing the government, much less the system. The elections, however, do afford a rare public glimpse of the inner machinations of South Africa's rulers.
