Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Defiance Campaign

*National Democratic Revolution, Part 5b*

*Defiance Campaign*

The document linked below, the third in this part of the National 
Democratic Revolution (NDR) series, was written by the famous "Drum" 
reporter, Henry Nxumalo [pictured above].

In 1950, the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA) was banned, 
dissolved itself, and gradually began to reconstitute itself as a 
clandestine party, the SACP. The Communist Party made no further public 
statements until 1959, when the first issue of the African Communist 
magazine was published.

But two other things happened: the remaining, legal components of the 
movement rallied round to protest against the banning and to support the 
formerly-CPSA comrades, such as Dadoo, Marks, Bopape and Kotane, as 
reported by Henry Nxumalo a few months later in the Drum magazine.

Nelson Mandela

The movement was solid. The ANC did not wash off the communists. The NDR 
was already on firm foundations. The Defiance Against Unjust Laws 
campaign was led by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela among others. Mandela was 
that campaign's Volunteer-in-Chief.
