In 2012 SHAWCO future. celebrates its 69th anniversary, making it the oldest active student- run free clinic in South Africa. Over the past 7 decades, SHAWCO S Afr Med J 2012;102(6):400-402. The story of the Students’ Health and Welfare Centres Organisation (SHAWCO) begins during the early 1940s, when industry allied to the Second World War effort attracted large numbers of indigent job-seekers to the Cape Town area. Most of these migrants settled in rapidly growing shanty towns on the outskirts of the city. Poor living conditions coupled with an absence of medical facilities allowed ill- health to flourish. In December 1942 Andrew Kinnear, a UCT medical student, spent his vacation driving an ambulance to earn money to pay for his medical training. One of the places he visited was the shanty town of Kensington-Windermere where he was so appalled by the poverty, lack of hygiene and lack of medical facilities that he became determined to do something about it. When the new university term started in 1943, he began to explore the possibility of opening a clinic run by students.

Morale : the year started off well for us with an impressive stall during Orientation Week, but the procedure for incorporating new members failed. Our first GB was a slight disaster which resulted in old members (particularly those in leadership positions^)} feeling very low and un-inspired. With Gary's assistance we held an 'old members' meeting to plan our term more thoroughly as well as to boost morale. Our spirits were up again after our participation in the Rag procession and a very successful second GB. The highlight of the term (internally) was our weekend away to plan the national campaign. It resulted in all members feeling excited and enthusiastic about our potential to be an effective, cohesive campaign on c a m p u s . Security : the constant flow of activists through ECC made it fairly difficult to develop a security consciousness. After a session on security at the weekend away, members understood the need to practise security measures and are taking it seriously; there was even a request for a guidelines/tasks list to be written up in the event of activists being detained.
