In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the United Democratic Front (UDF), SAHO is pleased to share some rare, historic footage shot at the National UDF launch event in Mitchells Plain on 20 August 1983. Rev. Frank Chikane gives keynote address at the launch and outlines the necessity for a united front against the Apartheid government.

risk to themselves.
