Propaganda - “What Crime is Worse Than The Abuse of Children From Political Violence? In this brief but poignant tape you will see the brutal truth of what we face from the Bishop Tutus and Oliver Tambos of this world. See for yourself what the media fails to tell you about South Africa. Similiar to the much acclaimed ANC-A Time For Candor, this tool will be invauble for setting the record straight. A must viewing for all who care about tomorrow’s heritage: the children.”

South African Propaganda
(38)
During the apartheid era, the South African Information Service launched a campaign of propaganda and disinformation aimed at the Western powers, which it considered its natural allies against what it called the “Communist onslaught” to take over South Africa.
This campaign was both covert and overt, and ranged from what appeared to be straightforward tourist films to savage attacks on the ANC through a source apparently connected to the South African Information Service. The South African government spent millions of dollars to win support, with most of this effort being directed at the USA, where it had many influential sympathisers of the apartheid regime.
These VHS tapes represent an extremely rare collection of propaganda materials produced by the Information Service.
