The Screen training Project

.







The streets of South Africa were covered with posters and the movement was gaining visibility and momentum. Although repression had supposedly thawed, only 6 months after they started the Screen Training Project (STP) had their space broken into and equipment destroyed. A year later the police confiscated a large amount of their posters, and then in 1985 an STP worker was detained for 4 months with no explanation ever given. This same worker was detained again in 1986, and this time the police claimed he was "the co-ordinator of the so-called screen programme, and organization responsible for the printing and distribution of subversive literature...and the training of Black Youths.
