POLITICIAN'S WIFE CHARGED IN ANC MURDER

The wife of a pro-apartheid politician was charged Friday in the April 10 murder of black activist Chris Hani.

At the same time, a judge approved a police request to extend the detention of Clive Derby-Lewis, husband of the accused woman, Gaye Derby-Lewis.

The husband, a former member of Parliament from the pro-apartheid Conservative Party, has been held 11 days without charge for questioning in the death.

Hani was chief of the South African Communist Party and one of the ANC's most popular leaders.

Police affidavits accused Gaye Derby-Lewis of arranging to obtain the addresses of several people, including Hani, whose names were on a hit list authorities allegedly found. Hani was shot at his home.
