There's an old Twinkle Brothers 12 inch that came out on Virgin with a toast called free up South Africa --I think but its lost in the mists of time any one else remember this?

There's a Black Uhuru song about S.A. where Don Carlos sings the line "Botha leave Africa". Can't remember the title though...
"It seems that mankind has been reborn again, the worst of enemies is now my best friend... and everything, yeah, is gonna be alright"

It was on the B side of Jahovia (Front Line Version) Its actually Free Africa which came out on album also.

This particular version (12") had a dj cut by Sir Lee, which was specifically about South Africa and mentioned John Vorster etc.

"Anti Apartheid" - Peter Tosh AKA Solomonic Reggae Star's melodica cut to Bunny Wailer's "Armagideon". The reference to SOuth Africa is only in the title though.
