It was created in 1979 and worked throughout the 1980s to publicize the inhumanity of forced removals and neglect of Bantusans.
The Report[edit]
 |
Between 1980 and 1981, dozens of volunteer collectively interviewed thousands of people living in Bantustans across South Africa. They focused on recording the experiences of people who had been resettled and those who were under the threat of resettlement. The surverys had a wide geographic coverage, across South Africa. The final report was published in five volumes.
