This Day in History: 2 June 1986
The  charges against the Cape Times editor, Mr Anthony who was convicted for publishing an interview of the African National Congress leader, Oliver Tambo were withdrawn, after PFP spokesperson on justice, Mr Dave Dalling responded to the deputy minister of information, Mr Nel Bureau to launch a booklet ‘Talking with the ANC’’. Mr Dalling said the charges had to be dropped as the government published a booklet which contained banned ANC literature.
