Southampton Anti-Apartheid movement supporters have collected 1,350 signatures to a petition for. the release of political prisoners in South Africa, and over £16 for the Defence and Aid fund. The city's trade contacts led to greater knowledge of the situation in the apartheid state, and people in a local park signed at the rae of 90 an hour.
The Anti-Apartheid committee organised pickets outside Marks and Spencer, Littlewoods, and the Co-op in the High Street on Saturday, calling for a boycott on all South African goods.
