Description
Luminous yellow badge, reading "Free Namibia Britains Nuclear Colony" around an image of a mineworker in a hard hat. Behind the image is a radioactive symbol.
The badge was created by the Campaign Against Namibian Uranium Contracts, part of a solidarity group supporting Namibian independence from South Africa. The badge suggests that there was an ongoing unequal relationship with the UK, which was using Namibians to gain access to uranium for nuclear weaponry.
