The document says the target of sanctions is the apartheid system; although we warmly welcomed the release of Nelson Mandela and minor "reforms" of the apartheid regime, all the major structures of apartheid remain intact today. The document says Comprehensive Sanctions will cut the flow of resources to the apartheid regime; they will sever the corporate ties that make apartheid profitable. Sanctions with strengthen the democratic movement in South Africa. The document says inside South Africa, the voices of opposition are clear; Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the unions and two labor federations (COSATU, NACTU), the United Democratic Front, and all mass anti-apartheid organizations strongly urge the imposition of Comprehensive Sanctions. The document says the Comprehensive Sanctions bills, sponsored by Senator Paul Simon and Representative Ronald V. Dellums, would ban almost all trade with South Africa, require U.S. corporations to withdraw from South Africa and to negotiate the terms of disinvestment with South African workers, penalize non-U .S. corporations (e.g. Royal Dutch/Shell) that supply oil to South Africa in violation of the United Nations embargo, and urge the President to support mandatory international sanctions in the United Nations. The document asks people to write to their Senators in support of Comprehensive Sanctions. The document discusses U.S. Senator Alan J. Dixon, U.S. Senator Paul Simon, the United Democratic Front (UDF), COSATU (Congress of South African Trade Unions), and NACTU (National Council of Trade Unions).
