{"value"=>"<p>Represented in the collection are the ANC-United Democratic Front, Black Sash (a women's watch group), the Pan Africanist Congress and the New Unity Movement. The ANC-UDF file includes Nelson Mandela's statement from prison \"I am Not Prepared to Sell the Birthright of the People to Be Free\", and an open letter to AZAPO on the escalation of conflict between supporters and members of the two organizations (1985). The Black Sash file consists of a 26 p. memorandum on political repression during the State of Emergency, including 36 affidavits relating to the 1985 Uitenhage massacre. The PAC folder includes a 1987 address by the chairman of the Central Committee, Johnson P. Mlambo, a memorial tribute to Robert Sobukwe by Ishmael Mkhabela, chairman of the Soweto Action Committee in 1978 and subsequently president of AZAPO, and a Judgment by the Supreme Court of South Africa in the case of fourteen PAC members accused of sabotage for their participation in the 1963 Poqo uprisings. The failed 1988 tricameral elections and the underlying principle of a white minority veto can be traced to the 1986 Constitutional Proposals and other campaign materials of the Kwazulu Natal Indaba, a Durban-based multiracial experiment in power-sharing associated with Chief Gatsha Buthelezi. Other promotional materials in the Indaba folder include sample issues of <em render=\"underline\">Indaba News</em>, Indaba information sheets and the Indaba \"Bill of Rights\".</p>"}
