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 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.
