A consumer boycott of white-owned shops began in Port Elizabeth following organizing over police violence and township conditions. Mkhuseli Jack served as a prominent spokesperson. By withholding purchases, residents used collective economic power to pressure businesses and authorities. The campaign connected community organization with the economic institutions benefiting from apartheid and broadened resistance beyond formal political meetings.
