Collection of photographic images, text and translations from English to French, possibly for an anti-Apartheid publication in French.

Photographs of campaigns, demonstrations and meetings for the release of Alex Moumbaris and other political prisoners, many in attendance of his wife Marie-Jose, including her presentation at a meeting at the United Nations (UN) in September 1974, as well as Sally Ndongo, Union Générale des Travailleurs Sénégalais en France (UGTSF).

The documents relate to the movement's ideology, support for the imprisoned Breyten Breytenbach, and its involvement in anti-Apartheid activities.

The newspaper clips cover the complex infiltration by BOSS, named here by one of its agents Craig Williamson, of various South African and international anti-Apartheid organisations, amongst them Okhela, but also the ANC, NUSAS, IUEF, and its individual members.

Alex and Marie-Jose (Smoothy) Moumbaris were arrested on the 19 July 1972 while trying to cross the border from Botswana. They were secretly detained for 4 months, before being charged, and their relatives were unable to establish their whereabouts. Helen Amiel, Alex Moumbaris mother, traced their whereabouts from their departure in Paris on the 8 June 1972, having received the last news from Gaborone in July 1972. The matter only appeared before the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on the 20 November 1972, when Alex Moumbaris and 5 Others were charged under the Terrorism Act. Marie-Jose, who was pregnant at the time, had been released and deported in September 1972.

The records in this section describe the connection between the creation of BIAA by Breyten Breytenbach, Johnny Makhatini and Barend Schuitema, and Okhela. Once Marie-Jose discovered the use of the BIAA office, situated at 40, Rue Rouelle, 75015 Paris, for activities by Okhela, she and her friend and colleague Sally Ndongo, from the Union Générale des Travailleurs Sénégalais en France (UGTSF), reported the matter to the ANC in London. Marie-José closed the office and went to London to inform the SACP and the ANC. See further explanations provided in an email compiled by Alex Moumbaris, included here, dated March 2018.
