Book Description
The freedom charter is a landmark document in the struggle for liberation in South Africa after being adopted by the congress of the people led by the African National congress (ANC) in Kliptown on 26th June 1955. From its inception, and especially during the 1980's, the demands of the freedom charter became a rallying point for many in the struggle against apartheid. In particular, for revolutionary militants from all parts of the liberation movement, the charter has consistently been at the centre of key theorectical and political debates. As this booklet shows, there has been a rise in societal inequality, alongside a massive concentration of wealth in the hands of both an old and new elite. More people than ever are out of work. There are still millions of people living in shacks and generalised crisis in the local delivery of basic services. added to this growing levels of corruption at all levels of government and society and worrying signs of the gradual rise of a secretive, security state. Today, over 20 years into the new democracy and 60 years after the adoption of the freedom charter, there is growing anger and discontent amongst the majority who have been left behind in South Africa's new democracy.

Book Description
This is a popular history of one of the most inspiring campaigns ever launched by the ANC and its allied organisations in Kliptown, Soweto, on 26 June 1955. It celebrates the fact that the Freedom Charter is deeply embedded in the Constitution of a free and democratic South Africa. In commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Freedom Charter and the 103rd anniversary of the ANC, the South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa asserted that, "It is therefore a matter of great significance that we stand poised to realise the call made in the Freedom Charter for a national minimum wage," at the International Minimum Wage Experiences Workshop. This forms part of the ANC plans to reclaim the Freedom Charter which was initiated in 1953 by the ANC, the South African Indian Congress (SAIC), the South African Coloured People's Organisation (SACPO) and the South African Congress of Democrats (SACOD) as the basis for its future plans.

Book Description
50 Years of the Freedom Charter is a new edition of a classic work, banned for possession under the apartheid government. The main body of the text, prepared initially in 1986, has been left unaltered, but the authors have added a substantial new introduction and a bibliography of some of the literature that was not then available within the country or emerged after publication of the book. This book offers an elaborately illustrated and fascinating account of the making of the historic Freedom Charter in South Africa in 1955. The material is presented largely through the words of actual participants, as recorded in interviews with the authors. It includes a significant section on the contemporary relevance of the Freedom Charter today.
