JOIN THE UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT (UPM)

A TOOL TO UNDERSTAND THE WAY THINGS ARE AND THE WAY THINGS CHANGE

A paper delivered by the Convenor of the Unemployed People’s Movement at the meeting held at Rhodes University, Politics Department, Grahamstown on the 22 January 2010.

The Chairperson, Rhodes University Staff Members and students, distinguished guests, militants of the Unemployed People’s Movement, ladies and gentlemen please receive my revolutionary greetings. Revolution is no tea party or a gathering of friends; those who pursue it do so under cruel and hostile circumstances. At times we wonder and we want to quit. Our undying love for our people, our country and our freedom give us the strength to continue.
