The collection spans the period when Vadi was mostly actively involved in SADTU, and holds correspondence, statements and memorandums of the Union as well as documentation of interactions with other organisations like COSATU and the UDF.

Although 65 interviews were conducted for this project, only 63 interviews are available, as two interviews were not recorded properly. Interview protocol differed slightly depending on the interviewer and when the interview was scheduled. In cases where questions in the general protocol were unrelated to the specific work of the person being profiled, questions more appropriate to the work of the individual were posed.

This collection is accessible at Historical Papers (HP) Archive as collection A2985. To consult this collection contact Historical Papers at University of the Witwatersrand. (http://www.historicalpapers.wits.ac.za/)

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.

The collection is very small, 0.3 linear metres. SAHA received it as part of the Natal Indian Congress (NIC) collection, but it is clear that it constitutes an archive in its own and was added to the NIC collection by mistake.

These documents received by SAHA from SAYCO Head Office are not the complete archives of SAYCO. It is doubtful if records of the period before 1990 were kept or even exist at all given the repressive conditions of the period. Thus, this collection has documents mainly from 1990. This is a small collection, comprising of 3 archival boxes.

The items in this collection include a secretarial report of the Transvaal Gandhi Centenary Council, a proposal for the restoration of Tolstoy Farm and quotes from an interview on Gandhi and Tolstoy Farm.

This collection includes interviews by Tony Karon with Issy and Ann Heymann (1988), Bill and Miriam Hepner (1988) and Harry Gwala (1989). Interviews by Gavin Evans with Zach de Beer (1989) and General Charles Lloyd of the State Security Council (1989).

The conference papers contained in this collection are incomplete.

This collection comprises photocopies of "Code of Conduct for Schools"; final working document "School Governance"; articles from New Nation series "Build your Organisation" and a membership card.
