90s10. ‘Apartheid Kills Commuters’

In 1990 violence between Inkatha Freedom Party and ANC supporters in KwaZulu spread to the townships around Johannesburg. A third force, linked to the South African Defence Force, fomented the killings. The AAM insisted it was the responsibility of the South African government to end the violence. At the same time it launched a ‘Vote for Democracy’ campaign, holding symbolic voting sessions at the conferences of the Scottish TUC and the Liberal, Labour and Conservative Parties.
