Nature of support: In 1990 COSAWR elected to wind up its activities. Part of its final public relations push was the return of twenty to thirty resisters to South Africa. The Fund approved a single grant of £2,500 towards their airfare. Minutes: BCF 3155. Notes: File organised by date from newest to oldest. File numbered '2/3/1'. |
