| Description: |
This poster is an offset litho in black and yellow. This poster was based on a drawing by Judy Seidman for the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU) in Lusaka, which was distributed as a sticker in South Africa. This was turned into a poster by M. Smithers at STP for COSATU and NUM for the mineworkers strike in 1987. This poster relates to the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) celebrating the end of the national miners’ strike. The text reads “MINEWORKERS FIGHT FOR A LIVING WAGE : SUPPORT THE MINERS STRIKE : SUPPORT THE LIVING WAGE CAMPAIGN” Digitised by Specialised Archival Solutions in 2009. Reproduced in "Images of Defiance: South African Resistance posters in the 1980s" on page 57(number 94) of the 1991 SAHA / Ravan Press edition and the 2004 SAHA / STE Publishers edition. It also appears on page 167 of “Red on Black: The Story of the South African Poster Movement”, SAHA / STE Publishers, 2007 |
