Norma Cranko Kitson (18 August 1933 – 12 June 2002) was a South African political activist and anti-apartheid campaigner. She was a member of the technical unit of the South African Communist Party and worked with Umkhonto we Sizwe. After going into exile in Britain, she founded the City of London Anti-Apartheid Group and became a prominent organiser of protests against apartheid in London. She also wrote the autobiography Where Sixpence Lives. Quotes South Africa’s my country and I want to return to it, as soon as I can. Youth Activism and Solidarity: The Non-Stop Picket against Apartheid I’m very urgent, you know, to get maximum solidarity among British people, to help the liberation struggle end the apartheid regime. Youth Activism and Solidarity: The Non-Stop Picket against Apartheid I think we can free David Kitson if ordinary people mobilise and keep the campaign going. Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! A campaign to free David Kitson can be seen as part of the effort to build support in Britain for the struggle of the African National Congress for a free democratic South Africa. Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! When you stand up to the police, by sitting down and saying 'we don't move', they bugger off. That's a lesson to you all comrades; that if we stand together then we win the day. Non-Stop Against Apartheid I believe I have a right and a duty in this country to do all I can to support the fighting people of South Africa.
