National Gathering against Apartheid / Rencontre National contre l’Apartheid (RNCA)
France
RNCA was a national organisation which started in the 1970s as L’Association Française d’Amitié avec les Peuples d’Afrique (AFASPA). AFASPA was created by trade unionists and anti-colonialists and most of it activities were focussed on the French colonies. In 1986 RNCA was formed by AFASPA to focus solely on anti-apartheid activities. In the beginning it mainly worked towards the implementation of sanctions but it later became a strong supporter of the ANC office in Paris. RNCA continues to operate as Rencontre National avec le People d’Afrique du Sud (RENAPAS).
The Archives Départementales du Val de Marne has recently received many archival materials from Jacqueline Dérens, the former president and they will be catalogued soon.
The National Library in Paris has the entire collection of the newsletters.
