Aid to Victims of Apartheid

Aid to Victims of Apartheid

A hundred pounds is being sent from New Zealand to a fund that has been set up to help the relatives and dependants of victims of apartheid in South Africa. This was announced recently by Professor K. M. Buchanan, Chairman of the South Africa Aid Fund, and the Rev. R. Thornley, a Trustee. None of the money that has been donated has been spent to promote the Fund—these expenses have been met from the pockets of the local committee.

"The money is transmitted to South Africa through a fund in London under the control of Christian Action," said Professor Buchanan. "These folk have been collecting money for some time to help relieve distress in South Africa. We have Just received word from Canon L. J. Collins (Treasurer of Christian Action and Precentor of St. Pauls) that £9500 has been sent within the past month, and more is urgently needed."

Professor Buchanan expressed the hope that further donations would enable the Committee to follow this first remittance with an even larger one. Cheques should be made out to South Africa Aid Fund and sent to Box 5003. Wellington. The Fund has some small posters that it will be glad to send out on request.
