Afrikans, lest we forget.... The United Democratic Front (UDF) - TopicsExpress



          

Afrikans, lest we forget.... The United Democratic Front (UDF) was an anti-apartheid body that incorporated many anti-apartheid organisations. It was launched in 1983, in Mitchells Plain. Steps towards forming the UDF began in the late 1970s, and moved forward when Allan Boesak called for a united front of churches, civic associations, trade unions, student organisations, and sports bodies to fight oppression. He was addressing the Transvaal Anti-SAIC Committee (TASC) at a conference in Johannesburg on 23 January 1983, but this part of his speech was unplanned- and even he was surprised to see the result.
