RONNIE KASRILS, ANC activist and veteran of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, has consistently spoken out against the oppression of the Palestinian people, and we are delighted to be able to welcome him to Tottenham. He has agreed to discuss the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign in support of the Palestinian struggle.
This initiative was directly inspired by the huge boycott campaign that helped undermine the South African apartheid regime. Ronnie was a leading member of the ANC underground struggle that overthrew apartheid. He organised the armed resistance from inside South Africa and from his base in London – much of the resistance work had to be done outside the country after Nelson Mandela and the rest of the ANC had been imprisoned and the Black opposition to apartheid had been temporarily crushed. When the first post-apartheid government finally achieved power under Mandela, Ronnie was made Deputy Minister of Defence. This will be an inspiring meeting – come along to hear how we can help the Palestinians in their struggle against injustice and oppression.
