3 Anti-Apartheid Groups to Get Grants
The World Council of Churches announced Friday that it will give grants totaling $260,000 to three black guerrilla groups fighting South Africa’s white-led minority government.
The council said the grants, which will come out of its Special Fund to Combat Racism, are designated exclusively for humanitarian activities, such as refugee work.
They will be to the South-West Africa People’s Organization, which is fighting for independence for Namibia from Pretoria; the African National Congress, South Africa’s main guerrilla group, and the Pan Africanist Congress, a more radical offshoot of the African National Congress.
All three movements received money from the council last year.
