About AZAPO Party

A legacy of struggle, resilience, and unwavering commitment to Black Consciousness. Following the murder of Steve Bantu Biko in detention in 1977, the Azanian People’s Organisation (AZAPO), like the legendary phoenix, emerged from the ashes and cinders of the Black People’s Convention (B.P.C.), South African Students’ Organisation (SASO) and Black Community Programmes (B.C.P.) – some of the black consciousness organisations forming the Black Consciousness Movement – that were banned on Wednesday, 19th October 1977 for their role in the liberation struggle and the June 16, 1976 uprisings.

Formation and Early Years:
Formed in April 1978, as a direct successor to the BPC and the founding organisation of the Black Consciousness Movement SASO, AZAPO continued and escalated the mission of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) by propagating Black Consciousness and organising Black people to be a fighting force for their liberation.

Inspired by the principles of the Black Consciousness and organised by AZAPO, Black people increasingly regained their resolve to fight for their rights and formed trade unions and civic organisations that drew the blue print for the conduct of struggles by civil society.

Through AZAPO, Black people in South Africa regained their collective dignity and self-pride. We in AZAPO believe that people that take pride in themselves are likely to make a meaningful contribution to a quest for true humanity.

The Black Consciousness Movement of Azania (BCMA):
To intensify the struggle further, the Black Consciousness Movement of Azania (BCMA) was formed in London on 12 April 1980. The BCMA operated as a sister organisation to AZAPO in exile and grew to establish chapters and offices in Botswana, where Onkgopotse Tiro was assassinated, Zimbabwe, England, the United States of America, Canada, France, Belgium and Germany.

While AZAPO mobilized within the country, the Black Consciousness Movement of Azania (BCMA) waged a political struggle in exile. Through the formation of the Azanian National Liberation Army (AZANLA) the BCMA also wage an armed struggle.

It sent BCM militants for military training in, amongst others, Libya, Eritrea, and China. With their training complete, AZANLA fighters engaged the forces of the apartheid regime in many theatres within the South Africa.

The National Forum:
Remaining true to its philosophical precept of unity of the oppressed, AZAPO pursued cooperation which led to the launch of the National Forum (NF) in June 1983 at a conference attended by 800 delegates representing 200 organisations. The NF aimed to narrow the difference between the liberation groups.

Talking about the launch of the NF, then President of AZAPO, Cde Saths Cooper said, “We think we need mature, sober consideration of all the issues in the liberation struggle and while principles should not be sacrificed, partisan approaches should take a back seat.”

Despite the call that “partisan approaches should take a back seat” a feud ensued which saw a number of AZAPO members killed and their homes raised to the ground.
