South African Students' Organisation
- South African Students' Organisation
The South African Students' Organisation (SASO) was a body of South African students who resisted apartheid through political action. The organisation was formed in 1968, spearheaded by Steve Biko, and played a major role in the Black Consciousness Movement.
Up until SASO's formation point, the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) considered multiracialism to be the solution to racism and apartheid. The SASO superseded this viewpoint by advocating an identity separate from any white or multi-racial identity, and they succeeded in attracting large numbers of black, coloured, and Indian youths.
