The racist government was confident that the threat to white supremacy had been crushed. But today the people have literally unbanned the ANC; after more than two years of sustained mass upheaval, the people are setting the pace of change in South Africa led by the ANC.

The newsletter discusses the Frontline States, SWAPO, the United Nations, the Freedom Charter, armed struggle, and Oliver Tambo.
