Riot policemen and stone-throwing youths clashed in Soweto today, and cars were set on fire as blacks commemorated the anniversary of the 1976 riots here.
The police said that 20 buses were damaged and that cars and trucks were set on fire as the mainly teen-age groups ran through much of Soweto, a black township outside Johannesburg.
The clashes came after an emotional service in Regina Mundi Church to remember the more than 500 people who died in the 1976 riots. The police said one police officer was hurt when his car's windshield was shattered by a rock. They said there had been some arrests.
