Anders Johansson's Private Records

History

Anders Johansson, born on 23 November 1942, was active in the "Södra Vätterbygden South Africa Committee" and in the "Swedish South Africa Committee" at the beginning of the 1960s. He was a journalist at Jönköpings-Posten, a local paper, at that time and later at Dagens Nyheter, the largest national morning paper, where he was Africa correspondent.

Johansson visited, as the first western journalist, liberated areas in Mozambique in 1968, to report from Frelimo's second congress.

His private records cover correspondence with the Swedish South Africa Committee and other Swedish organizations involved in the anti-apartheid campaigns, reports from his visit to Mozambique 1968 and also articles concerning the debate around the Cabora Bassa Dam and the Swedish business involvement 1968-69. There are some photos as well from Rhodesia and Mozambique. Johansson still has an extensive correspondence with i.a. liberation fronts in Southern Africa, in his home.
