Question

What factors led to the formation of SASO in 1969s ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The South African Student Organisation (SASO) was formed in 1968 after some members of the University of Natal's Black Campus SRC (Student Representative Council) decided to break away from the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS). NUSAS was a liberal organisation dominated by White students.

Explanation:

The South African Students' Organisation (SASO) was a body of South African students who resisted apartheid through political action. The organisation was formed in 1968, spearheaded by Steve Biko, and played a major role in the Black Consciousness Movement.

SASO students developed the philosophy of Black Consciousness, arguing that psychological liberation was necessary for political liberation. ... In this SASO offered a new approach to liberation, led by a new generation, that differed from older groups like the African National Congress and the Pan African Congress.
