Marius Benson reports that Deputy President F.W. De Klerk and his National Party announced today that they will pull out of South Africa's government of national unity at the end of June. The move comes the day after parliament ratified the first post-apartheid constitution. After the next election in 1999, the constitution says the government will be based on majority rule, and De Klerk said the National Party wants to get an early start on establishing itself as a credible alternative to Nelson Mandela's African National Congress.
