AA News June 1978

The June issue led on the massacre of Namibian refugees at Kassinga in Angola. It publicised the first of the sponsored walks to raise funds for the ANC school in Tanzania by local AA groups and the formation of a broad-based International Anti-Apartheid Year Committee. In an interview with AA News, former Rhodesian Prime Minister Garfield Todd accused South Africa of propping up the Smith regime. A feature on British Leyland revealed changes in its South African operation. AA News again asked readers to write to Foreign Secretary David Owen calling on him to ask the South African Government to reprieve Solomon Mahlangu.
