Originally published underground in the newspaper Umsebenzi by the SACP during apartheid, this primer—now reissued by Manifesto Press—was written 40 years ago at the struggle’s peak.

Their four-pillar strategy (mass protest, armed struggle, underground networks, international solidarity) prioritised freedom, justice and liberation based on class politics.
