The newsletter says South Africa's problems are converging from all directions these days; faced with growing guerilla raids within its own country as well as attacks on its bases in Namibia, the South African government it building it defense for the coming storm. The newsletter says the availability of international credit is critical to the maintenance of the apartheid system, and U.S. banks provide a large portion of that credit. The newsletter says a boycott of Safeway store has been called by the Coalition for Positive Action because the nationwide chain has been carrying "Fairest Cape" brand dressed white fish from the Republic of South Africa. The newsletter says in Summer, 1978, the American Friends Service Committee hared 40 young people nationwide to put into action the Southern Africa Summer Project. The newsletter discusses Prime Minister Vorster, The South West African People's Organization (SWAPO), Seattle First National Bank, Corporate Data Exchange, the Private Funding Export Corp. (PEFCO), the National Council of Churches, apartheid, Soweto, Steve Biko, and Margaret Gardiner.
