The Azanian People's Liberation Army (APLA), formerly known as Poqo,[1][2][3] was the military wing of the Pan Africanist Congress, an African nationalist movement in South Africa. In the Xhosa language, the word 'Poqo' means 'pure'.
After attacks on and the murder of several white families the APLA was subsequently classified as a terrorist organisation by the South African National government and the United States, and banned.[4]
APLA was disbanded and integrated into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) in June 1994.[5]
