The Sharpeville massacre occurred on 21 March 1960 , when 69 unarmed protesters were shot dead by the South African police , triggered an intensification of action . The organisation was renamed the " Anti-Apartheid Movement " and instead of just a consumer boycott the group would now " co-ordinate all the anti-apartheid work and keep South Africa 's apartheid policy in the forefront of British politics " , and campaign for the total isolation of apartheid South Africa , including economic sanctions
