Description

In December 1987, the ANC organised an international solidarity conference at Arusha, Tanzania. It was attended by over 500 delegates from governments, faith and community organisations, trade unions, NGOs and aid agencies. British participants included Labour Party foreign affairs spokesperson Gerald Kaufman and representatives from trade unions, Women Against Pit Closures and the aid agency War on Want. The programme called for international economic sanctions against South Africa and an arms and oil boycott.
