A new Amnesty International report once again casts light on the disproportionate victimisation, harassment, and killings of members of Abahlali baseMjondolo, South Africa's largest social movement representing the interests of shack dwellers, the homeless, and the poor. The report also highlights authorities’ lackadaisical attitude towards the ongoing violence, and the failure to make even desultory attempts to address it.
We adopted the slogan ‘Nothing for us without us!’ from the disabled movement in the United Kingdom. We adopted the phrase ‘grassroots urban planning’ from comrades in the urban movement in Brazil. This is why Ashraf Cassiem, the leader of the militant Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign developed the slogan ‘We are poor not stupid!’.

In 2005, the movement was established because the impoverished, the marginalised and the shack dwellers of South Africa were continuously rejected or left out by the system that had promised to be democratic and free to every citizen of South Africa.
