    From Popular Solidarity to From Popular Solidarity to Official Support Emergence of Local Solidarity Committees In response to the SUlL campaign, locally constituted South Africa Committees emerged at the beginning of 1963. Taking the boycott question further than formal demands and statements, they abandoned SUL's exclusive concentration on the youth, broadened the base of the solidarity movement and placed the anti- apartheid struggle on the national political agenda through active mobilization and lobbying. They also widened their scope of action, increasingly paying attention to the rest of the Southern African region. The committees reached their height in 1966, but were then rapidly overshadowed by the Vietnam movement. However, some of them-such as the Lund committeesurvived the turbulent years of the late 1960s and would at the beginning of the 1970s form the nucleus of a second generation solidarity movement with Southern Africa, reorganized as the Africa Groups in Sweden (AGIS). The first local South Africa committees were formed in Lund and Jbnkbping in southern Sweden. Both were set up in support of the SUL campaign,1 but had different origins. The Lund committee was mainly formed by students, who could build upon a long involvement with South Africa at the local university and to a large extent were inspired by resident Southern Africans.2 Billy Modise from ANC played a prominent and active part in the committee's work from the very beginning, later joined by students from Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Jonkhping committee, on the other hand, was almost exclusively the brainchild of one person, Anders Johansson,3 a young journalist 1 Lunds Sydafrikakomnsnitt6: ('Presentation') [no date] (AJC) and Sbdra Vtterbygdens Sydafrikakonunitt6: 'Verksamhetsberattelse for 1963' ('Annual report for 1963'), Jinkiping, 7 February 1964 (AJC).

Emma Elinor Lundin ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the struggle to increase women’s participation in public and political life by focusing on the activism of women within the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) from 1960 until 1994. It argues that internationalism was key to these women’s success, providing them with a source of support and funding as well as a stage to develop policies away from overwhelmingly patriarchal national settings. Creating and steering political trends and discussions in international fora, and bolstered by the approval of others in the international community, the women who feature here gained a foot in the door of power and created environments conducive to their presence, abilities and voices.

    Zambia, QAU and the Soviet Union Zambia, QAU and the Soviet Union Kenneth Kaunda President of Zambia President of the United National Independence Party (Lusaka, 15 July 1995) Tor Sellstr6m: I would like to clarify that the objective of the interview is to discuss the involvement of all the Nordic countries in the liberation struggle in Southern Africa. Kenneth Kaunda: Well, it was Olof Palme who led the Nordic countries in this process. It was his contribution which aroused the interest and the feelings of the other Nordic countries. They also made very wonderful contributions, there is no doubt about that. But I am merely being factual when I say that it all started with Sweden. TS: You went to England as a young man in 1957 and met the Labour Party and others there. Did you at that time have any contacts with a Nordic country or organization? KK: No, not at that time. We were very insular in those days. We were more or less locked out. We had no contacts with the outside world. For example, in 1954 a few colleagues and myself wanted to organize a Pan-African Congress for this region. We invited some people from the neighbouring countries, but even they were banned. Only one man from the United Nations, a Burmese, managed to attend. We were very insular. It was not our choice. It was the way the colonial masters wanted it to be. When I visited England it was the first time that I went outside the region. TS: Were your first contacts with the Nordic countries made then after Zambia's independence in 1964? KK: No, it was a little earlier.
