OUTRAGE AT the latest act of the white minority regime in South Africa added extra impetus to activities already organised across the country last weekend in honour of the tenth anniversary of the Soweto uprising. The imposition of a state of emergency by Botha and his racist thugs brought people onto the streets The banning of news coverage shows how afraid the South African racist state is of the pressure that could be brought to bear internationally to isolate apartheid. But, despite the blatant atrocities which take place daily in South Africa, the British Tory government is unwilling to lift a finger against the white Thatcher's only interest is upholding the profit that British capital makes from exploiting South Africa's black masses. Any 'economic measures' she might be forced to concede will be purely cosmetic. But window dressing and half measures are of no value to the super exploited and oppressed black majority in South Africa. Thatcher's government and others like it must be forced to break all links with the apartheid state.

That is why the number one task for anti apartheid activists, and the labour movement, is to build the biggest possible movement in solidarity with the people of South Africa and their struggle to overthrow the racist state. It is by building such a movement that real pressure can be brought to bear on governments whose main concern is to preserve the profits which the ruling classes make from exploiting the African continent. That is why the first task of everyone in this country who is in solidarity with South Africa's black majority is to build the biggest possible Freedom March in Break all links with apartheid!
