Description

This report was prepared for the founding conference of LAAA’s successor organisation, Local Authority Action for Southern Africa, held on 2 March 1995. It summarised the work done by LAAA and its National Steering Committee, 1983–95. LAAA gave guidance to local authorities on how to disinvest from South Africa, encouraged teaching about apartheid in schools and during the transition to democracy in South Africa helped train black South Africans for key roles in local government.
