Abahlali baseMjondolo is a democratic mass movement of the oppressed in South Africa with more than 180 000 members in good standing in more than 100 branches in good standing across five provinces. The movement grew out of a road blockade organised from the Kennedy Road shack settlement in the city of Durban in March 2005. It is the largest popular movement to have emerged in post-apartheid South

Africa. The movement organises land occupations, builds community infrastructure such as halls, creches and gardens, works to run occupations as democratic communes and campaigns for land and housing and against corruption, xenophobia, evictions and sexism. It is committed to building women's power in struggle and insists that the social value of land must be placed before its commercial value. It has faced serious repression including the destruction of its members' homes, arrests, assaults, organised campaigns of slander, torture and assassination. The movement is strongly internationalist has connections with comrades and movements around the world.
