Scope and content
The UDF was established as a non-racial anti-apartheid coalition in 1983. These interviews deal with the formation and impact of the UDF in the Western Cape in the 1980s. Themes include: community based organisations affiliated to the UDF; effects of apartheid; key figures involved with the UDF (including: Cheryl Carolus, Lionel Louw, Sydney Luckett, Phyllis Orner); religious affiliation; role of the UDF in the community; trade unions. These interviews originate from research conducted for the Albert Luthuli Young Historians Award 2008.
