Hundreds of thousands of black South Africans and others who chose to stand against injustice were victims of extra-judicial killings, torture, arbitrary detention and other state sponsored violence.

The Apartheid Debt & Reparations Campaign was then officially launched in Cape Town in November 1998 and has been running ever since, campaigning in various ways for the cancellation of illegitimate apartheid debt, the return of profits made from apartheid debt servicing, and compensation from businesses that profited from apartheid abuses.
