REGISTER OF ENTERTAINERS, ACTORS AND OTHERS WHO HAVE PERFORMED IN APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA
/Note: This third Register of entertainers, actors and others who have performed in apartheid South Africa since the beginning of 1981 is published at the request of the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid as part of the campaign for a cultural boycott against South Africa called for in a number of resolutions of the General Assembly. The first Register was published in October 1983; the present register includes a consolidated list.
The Special Committee intends to keep the Register up to date and to publish supplements periodically. Names of persons who undertake not to engage in further cultural contacts with South Africa will be deleted from future lists.

INTRODUCTION
The United Nations General Assembly, on the recommendation of the Special Committee against Apartheid, adopted a resolution (35/206 E) on 16 December 1980, calling for "cultural, academic and other boycotts of South Africa". On 17 December 1981, the Assembly adopted another resolution (36/172 I) on academic, cultural and sports boycotts of South Africa. At its fortieth session, the
General Assembly, in resolution 40/64 A adopted on 10 December 1985, requested-all States to adopt legislative and/or other comparable measures to ensure the "observance of sports, cultural, academic, consumer, tourism and other boycotts of South Africa".
Pursuant to the first two resolutions, the Special Committee has made every effort to promote a cultural boycott of South Africa by appealing to entertainers, artists, cultural groups and others to refuse or cancel engagements to perform in South Africa.
As part of these efforts, the Special Committee began periodical publication of the "Register of entertainers, actors and others who have performed in apartheid South Africa". The first register was published in October 1983, the second in December 1984. The present document is the third in the series. The purpose of the Register has been to show the extent to which the General Assembly decisions on the cultural boycott against South Africa are being observed. The information which appears in the Register is gathered through South African and international media as well as from non-governmental organizations. The Register is widely distributed. Furthermore, the Special
Committee has made a genuine effort to reach all those whose names have appeared in the Register. The names of those personalities who have undertaken not to perform again in South Africa have been deleted from the Register and are reproduced in its annex.
The cultural boycott of South Africa has made important gains in 1985, especially in the United States of America. There has been a significant decline in the number of entertainers, actors and others performing in South Africa. This resulted from an increase in international activities against collaboration with the apartheid r6gime. Following the publication of the second Register in December 1984, several anti-apartheid and other non-governmental organizations successfully intensified their efforts to deter performers from visiting South Africa. In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, for example, some municipalities adopted legislation banning artists who visited South Africa from performing in municipal facilities. In Norway, the Norwegian
Council for Southern Africa requested the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation not to transmit records, cassettes or tapes made by individuals whose names appear on the Register.
Moreover, a number of artists, acting jointly or individually, have taken meaningful action to strengthen the cultural boycott. In March 1985, Stevie Wonder, a prominent musician in the United States, accepted his Oscar Award in the name of Nelson Mandela as an act of solidarity with the suffering black people of South Africa. The apartheid regime reacted by imposing a ban on Wonder's music. Furthermore, Stevie Wonder was among those who were arrested in February 1985 while demonstrating in front of the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C. In May, the Special Committee presented a citation to Stevie Wonder, expressing its great appreciation for his contribution to the international campaign against apartheid. On 23 July, Woody Allen, a prominent
actor and director from the United States, announced that he would no longer allow his movies to be released in South Africa, as a protest against that regime's policies, and hoped that other actors would follow his example. Albert Finney, a British actor, directed and acted in a film called The Biko Inquest. The film, produced earlier in 1985, was based on a highly-acclaimed play about the death in
detention of Mr. Steve Biko. *
Over 50 musical artists joined "Artists United against Apartheid" ** to record the anti-apartheid song entitled "Sun City". The song was composed by Little Steven, co-produced by mix-master Arthur Baker, and sung by over 50 artists representing the fields of rock, rhythm and blues, jazz, rap reggae, Latin, folk and African music. The song focuses on Sun City, an entertainment complex in the so-called homeland of Bophuthatswana in South Africa, where musicians and entertainers from various countries perform despite the international cultural boycott of South Africa. Its message is that South Africa should be boycotted aslong as apartheid prevails. The Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Chairman of the Special Committee were presented with the first pressing of the "Sun City" record at a ceremony held by the Special Committee on 30 October 1985.
Despite the international outcry against collaboration with the apartheid r6gime, this present Register shows that a large number of artists and musicians continue to perform in South Africa. It is hoped that they will follow the example of those who have renounced their intention to visit and perform in South Africa as long as the vicious system of apartheid prevails in that country. By doing so, they will show their attachment to the highest ideals of art and culture of which apartheid is the antithesis and relation.
* Steve Biko died in 1977 from head injuries that he sustained while in the custody of the South African police. It was not until July 1985 that the two doctors who had examined Biko at the time of his death were found guilty despite attempts by the South African Medical Association to cover up. The South African regime took no action against the doctors.
** The following were members of "Artists United against Apartheid": Afrika Bambaataa, Ray Barrett0, Stiv Bator (Lords of the New Church), Pat Benatar, Big Youth, Ruben Blades, Kurtis Blow, Bono (U2), Duke Bootee, Jackson Browne, Ron Carter, Clarence Clemons, Jimmy Cliff, George Clinton, Miles Davis, D.J. Cheese, Will Downing, Bob Dylan, The Fat Boys, Peter Gabriel, Peter Garrett (Midnight Oil), Bob Geldof, Daryl Hall, Herbie Hancock, Nona Hendryx, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Stanley Jordan, Kashif, Eddie Kendrick, Darlene Love, Malopoets, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Michael Monroe (Hanoi Rocks), John Oates, Sunny Okosuns, Bonnie Raitt, Joey Ramone, Lou Reed, Keith Richards, David Ruffin, Run-DMC, Scorpio, Gil Scott-Heron, Shankar, Bruce Springsteen, Zak Starkey, Ringo Starr, Tina B, Pete Townshend, Via Afrika, Tony Williams, Peter Wolf, Ron Wood, Bobby Womack and Little Steven van Zandt.
The Special Committee would like to express its appreciation to all entertainers, actors and artists who openly declared their solidarity with the oppressed people of South Africa by refusing to perform in that country. It is hoped that they will intensify their efforts toward the implementation of the cultural boycott against South Africa.
The Special Committee wishes to place on record its admiration and support to the anti-apartheid organizations in North America, in the Caribbean, Scandinavian and other European countries who have exerted tremendous efforts to encourage entertainers, artists and others whose names appeared on the Register to pledge that they will not perform in South Africa until the abhorrent system of apartheid is dismantled. The Special Committee values greatly their contribution and urges them to continue with the good work to ensure the total isolation of South Africa in the cultural and other fields.

A_ The Welsh Anti-Apartheid Movement campaigned against any co-operation by the International Eisteddfod Committee- with headquarters in Llangollen, Wales- with the Roodepoort International Eisteddfod of South Africa and appealed for a boycott of Welsh singers. The Chairman, Mr. Noel Bowen, and the honorary secretary, Mr. I. Morris-Jones, of the International Eisteddfod Committee, visited South Africa to advise the organizers of the Roodepoort International Eisteddfod of South Africa. As a result, two established Welsh choirs decided not to go to South Africa and several local education authorities refused leave for their employees to go on the tour. Mr. Stuart Weaving, a wealthy British businessman, then offered to finance the tour and, through public advertisements, organized a group of 69 Welsh choristers to perform in Roodepoort and tour South Africa. All members of the Welsh Choir registered in South African hotels as "Jones". The British Anti Apartheid Movement, however, obtained and provided the following incomplete list of names to the Special Committee against Apartheid:
Cymbach
Caldicott and District
D.B. Davies (Secretary) Ossie Davies William Davis (former m Ted Fry Andrew Gordon Martin James Ken Jones Malcolm Jones Allan Lloyd Mao Matthews John Merriman (ex-Chairl Tom Millard Gwyn Owen Allan Ponting David Rhys Arwyn Richards Noel Smith Emlyn Thomas Dereck Williams David Chown Alan Collins Glyn Cooper Hayden Davies (Public Relations Officer) Alun Evans (Vice-President) Olivia Franklin David Gould Tony Hancock Tom Hole Gerald Hughes Colin Jones (Committee member) Ken Lewis Aldwyn Pugh Allan Rowles David Stocker (Committee member) Idris Windos G.

Their names, henceforth, are included in the list of those who have pledged not to appear in apartheid South Africa.
