The repression in Southern Africa is increasing. The level of the struggle of the oppressed people against Apartheid is stepping up each day/week/ month in intensity.

Here in New Zealand, while we need to maintain and intensify our sporting boycott, we must greatly develop and step-up the political and economic boycott of South Africa and increase our solidarity with the black people.

It is hoped that this Conference can Build Increased Support for the continuing liberation struggle of the oppressed in Southern Africa.

The Conference Committee would welcome ideas and suggestions in relation to policy structure and future activities for the development of the anti-apartheid struggle in New Zealand. Please forward them in as soon as possible.
