S.A. Boycott

A campaign against the purchase of goods from apartheid-ridden South Africa was launched on March 1 by a number of Scandinavian youth organisations. In Sweden alone an estimated 1,400,000 members of youth groups comprising religious and political associations vowed to take part in the boycott. The youth action was undertaken as a token of solidarity with Chief Albert Luthuli, now confined by the South African Government to a mission in Natal Province.
