In a year in which Abahlali were denied democracy, the annual general meeting was a fine example of how it really ought to be done.

True democracy

Thank you Abahlali for reminding us all of what democracy should and can look like and Congrats on your recent housing victories. Although I am back at home now I still speak to all who will listen about how incredible you all are and how much I learned from you about effective organizing and the power of relentless struggle. You all inspire me to keep on fighting for what is not right- Shantel
