London recruits – activism in another land

Apartide defined: a system which told you who u could not fall in love with. So defined the eloquent life long activist whose activist life began in earnest when he was invited to be a London recruit to an anti apartide event in South Africa. Recruited as a young communist as were most of them although some fromLSE.

Didn’t bob once introduce me to Shawn Slovo in Notting hill? But that story meant little to me. Cathy riddle boycotted buying South African oranges I vaguely recall being intrigued but puzzled how one so far away was trying to influence another land .

Many from Palestine action in audience asking about parallels, what worked, what’s changed.

I am in awe of the ambition, the drive, the commitment of people to seek involvement to support a people from another land who struggle. You see oppression, you want to fight, he said simply. He came from the streets of struggle. Does it work? This action was 1970 , apartide dismantled 1994.
