Prohibits loans to, other investments in, and certain other activities with respect to, South Africa. It sets forth United States policy and future policy with respect to ending apartheid (Titles I and V), and calls for measures to assist victims of apartheid (Title II) and measures to undermine apartheid (Titles III and IV). Inter alia, the Act sets forth a Code of Conduct which any US national employing 25 employees or more in South Africa must follow. The Code calls in particular for desegregating places of employment, providing equal employment opportunity for all employees without regard to race or ethnic origin, establishing minimum wages and non-racial pay systems, and recognising the right of all employees to form, join and assist labour organisations (section 208). The Act also appropriates up to $3 million in each fiscal year for training programmes for South African trade unionists (section 551(a)).
