Our people must learn how to disarm the enemy marauding our townships and turn their guns against them, the Zimbabwe news agency ZIANA quoted Alfred Nzo, secretary-general of the African National Congress, as saying in Harare, Zimbabwe. ZIANA said Nzo called the killings Tuesday and Wednesday a heinous crime" and promised the ANC would answer back.

The African National Congress is the mam black guerrilla group fighting to establish black majonty rule in South Africa. The state Bureau for Information today reported stone-throwing incidents Thursday night in Soweto, the huge 'black township near Johannesburg, but did not mention any new casualties. There were unconfirmed reports of scattered gunfire. the government has promised a public inquiry into the Soweto riots. It said 21 people were killed and 98 hours before the confrontation at the barricade.

Rev. Frank Chikane, deputy president of the anti-apartheid Soweto Civic Association, and Murphy Morobe, chief spokesman of the. United Democratic Front, the countrys largest anti-apartheid coalition, made similar statements Thursday. They said up to 30 people had been killed and 200 injured. The' Bureau for Information, meanwhile, said a journalist was arrested Thursday during a confrontation between police and students at the University of the Wltwatersrand in Johannesburg.

It said the journalist, who was not identified, was released but was being investigated. It gave no other details.

killed by youths. However, Helen Suzman, vet erap anti-apartheid activist in the opposition Progressive Federal Party, told reporters today, An in- dependent inquiry is absolutely essential not an internal police inquiry. The official story contrasts quite markedly from what I heard from people in Soweto. Everybody we spoke to said there had bedn no provocation, that there was ran-' dom shooting by police. It seems to have been totally uncontrolled and undisciplined, she said.

Suzman was in Soweto for a second day today gathering information about the rioting. Deputy Information Minister Louis Nel told a news conference Thursday that the riots were part of an organized campaign to sabotage the 11-week-old national state of emergency. He said tjife rioting began when a hand grenade was thrown at police from a black crowd at a barricade, injuring three officers. He said police then fired into the crowd. It was an ambush to kill the police, he said.
