Black First Land First (BLF) is a Black Consciousness (BC) movement that follows the teachings of Steve Biko. Ipso facto, it is a blacks only movement. We have also adopted the minimum program of Radical Economic Transformation (RET) which unites all progressive people against the common enemy which is White Monopoly Capital (WMC).

BLF recognizes that important organizations to the RET agenda, like Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association (MKMVA), are non racialist. Furthermore, BLF recognizes that all organizations pushing RET each have autonomy of policy on membership and leadership. Therefore our movement wishes to clarify that there is no animosity or disrespect towards the spokesperson of MKMVA.

The urgent and important task is to unite all RET forces to defend President Jacob Zuma and demand the arrest of FW de Klerk immediately; and in the long run to defeat the Stellenbosch agenda and implement the RET program.
