SASPU Focus was a feature-orientated publication aimed largely at raising student awareness: at its annual congress during December 1981 NUSAS adopted the theme 'Campus Action for Democracy' for 1982. This slogan called on students to understand, and act on, their university and their education. SASPU Focus attempted to cover educational issues and to encourage debate, in the hope of providing students with a deeper understanding of their immediate environment - the university. In so doing, SASPU Focus propagated the belief that students should play a role in the broader society.
