Johannesburg: Constitution Hill hosts an exhibition on how Australia helped end Apartheid!
The Australasian South African Alliance (ASAA), in partnership with the Australian High Commission in South Africa, Brand South Africa and Constitution Hill, has launched an exhibition titled "Memories of the Struggle: Australians Against Apartheid" in Johannesburg on 02 November 2017 at the Constitution Hill precinct. This multimedia exhibition is a photographic timeline of events that weaves together a narrative of Australia's involvement in the fight against apartheid. It will share insights into the Australian contribution to the collapse of apartheid, such as the "Stop the Tours" movement which served to sever cricket and rugby relations with Apartheid South Africa. Such activism did not occur without political controversy or conflicts as related throughout the various sections of the exhibition.
