Mr. Robinson, head of TransAfrica, an organization concerning with political and economic affairs in Africa, delivered a statement to reporters after President Bush announced the lifting of economic sanctions against South Africa earlier in the day. President Bush said the State Department had advised him that all five conditions in the federal law mandating economic sanctions had been fulfilled, compelling him to end sanctions. Mr. Robinson called it a “dark day for democracy,” and criticized President Bush’s action on the ground that apartheid laws still existed in South Africa. He said President Bush had cynically violated the spirit and the letter of the law in the bill mandating economic sanctions against South Africa. close
