End Conscription Campaign (ECC) Exhibition
Poster Advertising ECC Peace Conference in 1993
The Ditsong National Museum of Military History is currently hosting an exhibition on the End Conscription Campaign (ECC). Drawing on the archival collections at the South African History Archive (SAHA), the display brings together a rich collection of materials created for a series of commemorative exhibitions in 2009 marking the 25th anniversary of the formation of the ECC, along with evocative ECC struggle posters from the time.
The ECC was started as a campaign by people opposed to forced military service in defence of apartheid. While it brought together a wide range of organisations and individuals opposed to conscription, its political aim was clear - to undermine the apartheid government and contribute to the wider struggle to bring about a free, just and democratic South Africa.
Entrance to the museum is R 22,00 for adults and R 11,00 for senior citizens and children.
