 Torch Commando

The Torch Commando was a South African anti-racist organisation, born out of the work of the Springbok Legion, a South African organisation of World War II veterans, founded in 1941 during the Second World War, and the War Veterans Action Committee established with the involvement of Springbok Legionnaires to appeal to a broader base of ex-servicemen.It was underwritten by Harry Oppenheimer, through an opaque trust fund.
