Description

This issue raised the alarm on rumours that the Labour Government was about to abandon its limited arms embargo against South Africa. It reported on a speech by ANC Acting President Oliver Tambo in Central Hall Westminster and on the refusal by several student unions to host an all-white rugby team from the Orange Free State. In an interview, former political prisoner Wilfred Brutus told how he escaped re-arrest by rowing out into the Indian Ocean, where he was picked up by a passing ship.
