Charter memorial in Kliptown
The
Freedom Charter
was the statement of core principles of the South African
Congress Alliance
, which consisted of the
African National Congress
(ANC) and its allies: the
South African Indian Congress
, the
South African Congress of Democrats
and the
Coloured People's Congress
. It is characterised by its opening demand, "The People Shall Govern!"
History
edit
Further information:
Congress of the People (1955)
After about a decade of multi-faceted resistance to white minority rule, and in the wake of the
Defiance Campaign
of 1952, the work to create the Freedom Charter was in part a response to an increasingly repressive government bent on stamping out extra-parliamentary dissent.
In 1955, the ANC sent out 50,000 volunteers into townships and the countryside to collect "freedom demands" from the people of South Africa.

This system was designed to give all South Africans equal rights. Demands such as "Land to be given to all landless people", "Living wages and shorter hours of work", "Free and compulsory education, irrespective of colour, race or nationality" were synthesised into the final document by ANC leaders including
Z.K. Mathews
Lionel "Rusty" Bernstein
, Ethel Drus,
Ruth First
and Alan Lipman (whose wife, Beata Lipman, hand-wrote the original Charter).
The Charter was officially adopted on Sunday 26 June 1955 at a gathering of about 3,000 people, known as the
Congress of the People
in
Kliptown
Soweto
The meeting was broken up by police on the second day, although by then the Charter had been read in full. The crowd had shouted its approval of each section with cries of "Africa!" and "
Mayibuye
!"
Nelson Mandela
escaped the police by disguising himself as a
milkman
, as his movements and interactions were restricted by banning orders at the time.
The document signified a major break with the past traditions of the struggle; this was no longer a
civil rights movement
seeking to be accommodated in the existing structures of society, but called for a fundamental restructuring of all aspects of South African society.
The document is notable for its demand for and commitment to a non-racial South Africa, and this has remained the platform of the ANC. As a result, ANC members who held pro-African views left the ANC after it adopted the charter, forming the
Pan Africanist Congress
. The charter also calls for
democracy
and
human rights
land reform
labour rights
, and
nationalisation
After the Congress was denounced as treason, the South African government banned the ANC and arrested 156 activists, including Mandela, who were put on trial in the
1956 Treason Trial
, in which all were acquitted. The Charter continued to circulate in the revolutionary underground and inspired a new generation of young militants in the 1980s.
When the ANC finally came to power after democratic elections in 1994, the new
Constitution of South Africa
included many of the demands of the Freedom Charter. It addressed directly nearly all of the demands for equality of race and language.
The original document is housed at
Liliesleaf Farm
, now a museum.

Freedom Charter
edit
The following is the full text of the Freedom Charter.
We, the People of South Africa, declare for all our country and the world to know:
that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white, and that no government can justly claim authority unless it is based on the will of all the people;
that our people have been robbed of their birthright to land, liberty and peace by a form of government founded on injustice and inequality;
that our country will never be prosperous or free until all our people live in brotherhood, enjoying equal rights and opportunities;
that only a democratic state, based on the will of all the people, can secure to all their birthright without distinction of colour, race, sex or belief;
And therefore, we, the people of South Africa, black and white together - equals, countrymen and brothers - adopt this Freedom Charter. And we pledge ourselves to strive together, sparing neither strength nor courage, until the democratic changes here set out have been won.
