In June 1959, a small group of exiled South Africans and British sympathizers convened in a London flat to launch a boycott against South African goods. This modest initiative grew into a formidable international solidarity campaign over three decades, targeting apartheid South Africa through consumer boycotts, sports bans, corporate codes, and sanctions. The campaign's objective was to make apartheid unsustainable for South Africa's white minority government, long before Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk began negotiations to end the system. The turning point for the movement came on March 21, 1960, when South African police killed 69 unarmed demonstrators in Sharpeville.
