The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) was re-established on 27 October 1990 in Soweto. The South African Youth Congress (SAYCO) and the ANC Youth Section, which had operated in exile, merged at this launch. The main task of the Youth League was to mobilise all sectors of the youth into active participation in the struggle to secure democracy.

This collection includes documents, newsletters and pamphlets collected from various anti-apartheid organisations. It covers a wide spectrum of political, community and trade union organisations which were active in South Africa in the 1980s.

I have first arranged all the transcripts (A - P). In many instances these are transcripts of the audio-cassettes under T. Where possible I have tried to indicate that an audio-cassette of the interview exists, I have added 'T' after the description to indicate this. Please refer to Section T to find the audio-cassette number.

The audio-cassettes have been numerically numbered in the order that they were kept at PHT. This was done to accommodate the fact that in some instances, one cassette would have more than one interview. I have added a prefix T to the number to denote that it is a tape and the figure in brackets denotes the length of the tape in minutes. However, under T in this inventory I have arranged the list of interviewees alphabetically by surname and have attempted to group the other interviews.

Section S contains 140 edited interviews of those found under section A. These are also arranged alphabetically by surname.

Furthermore, the individual interviews under A, N and T have not been included in the index. The alphabetical arrangement is sufficient in finding the relevant interviewee

Materials donated by Julie Frederikse in the course of SAHA's Non-racialism Project during 2015 have been processed as series U and V of this collection.

This oral history project was set up by the South African History Archive (SAHA) in 1990 after the unbanning of various political organisations with Tom Mathole as co-ordinator. The first step involved interviewing a selection of exiles that had returned to South Africa. This collection focuses on the circumstances leading up to exile, life in exile and the returnees' current perceptions of South Africa. The interviewees are: Angela Brown, Michael Kgoadi, Nontsikelelo Memela, Papi Moloto, Moosa Moolla, Selby Msimang, Sue Rabkin, Ngoako Ramathlodi, Pumla Williams, Bongiwe Njobe, Phola Mabizela and Soli Modise.

The collection includes a passive resistance certificate, banning orders imposed on Thandray and a profile by Ahmed Kathrada.

The records in this group include the KCP Constitution, code of conduct, manifesto and background information.

This is a large and extensive collection, which had been donated to the periodicals section of the University of the Witwatersrand's Library. The following periodicals remain in the South African History Archive (SAHA) holdings: 'ANC Weekly News briefings', 1979-1984; 'Workers' Unity' (Organ of South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU)) Nos. 1-28, 38, 40, 41, 67 and 70 and a special issue on JB Marks 'Resister: Journal of the Committee of Southern African War Resistance (COSAWR) March 1979-June 1990.

This collection includes minutes, reports, correspondence, and other documents relating to training projects in human relations in the workplace and management consultancy.

This collection documents the African National Congress's (ANC) enquiry into three areas: Commission of Inquiry into Recent Developments in Angola; Commission of Inquiry Investigating the Death of Mzwakhe Ngwenya (Thami Zulu) and the Motsuenyane Commission on Treatment of ANC Prisoners.
