Description

The Ciskei in the eastern Cape was one of the fragmented parcels of land that South Africa designated as an African ‘homeland’ or Bantustan. It was given nominal ‘independence’ in 1981, but its stooge government was totally dependent on South Africa. This leaflet publicised an AAM vigil and meeting to protest against mass detentions of Ciskei residents who had supported a bus boycott in protest against a hike in fares.
