Biographical / Historical

AA Enterprises was a workers' co-operative founded in 1986 to support the Anti-Apartheid Movement and the front line states of Southern Africa. It raised revenue for the Anti-Apartheid Movement by producing and selling badges, T-shirts, mugs and other merchandise. It also sold produce and products from the front line states and items produced by the African National Congress and SWAPO.

It ceased trading in 1991.
