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!’.

18 years of Abahlali baseMjondolo
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.
