AA Enterprises was a workers cooperative set up in 1986. It asked anti-apartheid supporters to ‘trade against apartheid’ by buying goods from the frontline states, as well as by boycotting South Africa products. It sold goods like coffee and cashew nuts from Angola and Mozambique and records and tapes made by musicians from Southern Africa. It commissioned designs for T-shirts, tea towels and mugs, sold through its mail order catalogues and by local AA groups. It also marketed goods produced by the AAM, the ANC and SWAPO.
