Support Group for the People of South Africa, SSF

History

The Support Group for the People of South Africa (Stödgruppen för Sydafrikas folk) was formed in October 1974. It was engaged in the solidarity work for South Africa at a time when the Africa Groups of Sweden (AGS) were mainly working with supporting the liberation fronts of the Portuguese colonies. The co-operation with AGS and the Stockholm Africa Group was very close. Up to 1976 it was unclear as to whether the group was a subcommittee under AGS or not, but at the AGM that year it was decided it was an independent organization. It had its seat in Bromma, a Stockholm suburb.

The group issued a periodical called "Phambili" (Forward).

In October 1979 the group became a working group at the office of the ANC representative in Stockholm and ceased to be an independent group.
