For almost five decades, white rule in South Africa was codified in a brutally racist, segregationist regime that systematically controlled and exploited the mass of the black workers. But the hyper-exploitation and repression bred resistance from the outset, spawning the anti-apartheid mass movement of workers and students through the 1960s and 1970s, which developed revolutionary potential in the 1980s. Come along for a discussion on the inspiring movement that toppled the apartheid regime and critically assess the African National Congress and the Communist Party’s role.
