The World Council of Young Men’s Service Clubs would show that it was “quite happy to be used as a channel for pro-apartheid propaganda” if South African delegates attended its conference in Christchurch in September, said the local Halt All Racist Tours officer (Ms Pauline McKay). Brochures of the Association of Round Table in Southern Africa said council membership was a way to create a large body of influential friends, she said.

But those clubs could be used to promote political policies, such as apartheid.
