Hundreds of major corporations take advantage of the apartheid system's slave labor conditions, rather than investing in job-producing operations in the U.S. or export products from South Africa to the U.S. and other countries that normally buy from the U.S. Royal Dutch/ Shell supplies fuel to the apartheid economy and to the South African military and police, which is critical because South Africa does not have its own oil supplies. The boycott campaign demands that Royal Dutch / Shell withdraw from South Africa.
