Brochure sent as part of a mailing to raise money for the work of The Africa Fund. The brochure says prosperity for South African whites has been achieved through the systematic denial of political rights and the economic exploitation of its black majority. The brochure says since 1967, The Africa Fund has assisted the schools, hospitals, and agricultural improvement projects established by the African independence movements in southern Africa; this year, we hope to send $170,000 overseas to assist these important projects. The brochure says The Africa Fund is helping provide legal defense; after the demonstration in Soweto, more than 1,500 students were arrested; more recently, several hundred adult community leaders have been arrested. South African laws permit the detention of anyone, on any suspicion, for as long as the security police wish. The brochure says with the approval of the US government, weapons-grade uranium, aircraft and electronics technology have gone to South Africa to assist the military build-up against the majority of its people. The brochure says The Africa Fund is working effectively to help the American people understand the real issues behind the headlines; the research department performs a unique function in analyzing developments in southern Africa; materials prepared by the Fund were vital in interpreting the issues behind foreign intervention in the Angola conflict. The brochure discusses apartheid, Bantustans, passbooks, pass regulations, United States corporate investment in South Africa, black townships, Soweto, trade unions, investment, and detention. • APARTHEID SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL • THE UNITED STATES ROLE • YOU CAN HELP THROUGH THE AFRICA FUND
