The South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU), the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the African National Congress (ANC) issued a joint statement in Lusaka, reiterating their commitment to overthrow White supremacy in South Africa. The respective delegations were led by Jay Naidoo (General Secretary of COSATU), John K Nkadimeng (General Secretary of SACTU) and Oliver Tambo (President of the ANC). The three delegations agreed that it was of central importance that the campaign for the immediate release of all political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, should develop with even greater intensity. They agreed that the three organisations would do their utmost in pursuit of this goal.
