[Adopted 6-13-1984 by Ord. No. A-14-84]
The system of apartheid in the Republic of South Africa which has been condemned by the United Nations as "a crime against humanity" systematically denies economic, political and social freedoms to the vast majority of the populace. Apartheid laws which separate black families, keep blacks in the lowest paying jobs and deny them the right to vote exemplifies the institutionalized violation of human rights. Millions of dollars of public moneys are invested or deposited by state, county and municipal governments in banks and other financial institutions doing business in or with the Republic of South Africa. These moneys support the racist government of South Africa. Therefore, the people of the City of Rahway declare that public moneys should be removed from banks or other financial institutions doing business in or with the Republic of South Africa.
For the purpose of this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
CITY FUNDS
Any moneys invested or deposited directly by the City of Rahway.[1]
