African Activist Archive

The mailing stresses the need to keep informed about South Africa; the difficult road to a non-racial democracy is a crucial juncture. A packet about events inside South Africa during the past nine tumultuous months is enclosed. There was a lot of coverage in union publications this past year because of unfolding events in South Africa, Nelson Mandela's visit to the U.S. and many unions' participation in that visit, and growing solidarity between unions. The mailing mentions ACOA (American Committee on Africa), The Africa Fund, COSATU (Congress of South African Trade Unions), IMF (International Metalworkers' Federation), NYLCAA (New York Labor Committee Against Apartheid), WOA (Washington Office on Africa), ACTWU (Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union), UAW (United Auto Workers), ANC (African National Congress), the South African Council of Churches (SACC), the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, Gatsha Buthelezi, Inkatha, the public television show South Africa Now, USWA (United Steelworkers of America), Cyril Ramaphosa, and the mass democratic movement.
