African Activist Archive

Mailing to Southern Africa Activists. The mailing says I have attached a printout of the most recent U.S. companies in your state that continue to do business with South Africa; the frightful level of violence and death in the townships has caused all of us to try and renew our efforts to increase pressure on the South African government. The mailing says in the last year over 61 key ANC ground level organizers have been murdered; this slaughter has been systematic and seemingly done to insure that the ANC cannot respond to the continued oppression by organizing ground level resistance. The mailing says we now need, more than ever, to challenge U.S. companies that still continue to do business there. The mailing discusses the ANC (African National Congress), Nalco Chemical, Lawter International, Navistar International, Epicor International, Encyclopedia Britannica, Hellmann International, Kraft, caterpillar Tractor, Windforce Lines, the National Geographic Society, Newell International, Maremont Corporation, KPRESS, and Argus Chemical. [Note: Because this was sent to Kathy Devine all the companies listed are based in Illinois.]
