BLF supports the collaboration between AZAPO and PAC

Posted on February 17, 2022February 17, 2022 by Black First Land First

Black First Land First (BLF) welcomes the announcement of a declaration of collaboration between the historical liberation movements, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) and the Azanian People’s Organisation ( AZAPO).

This collaboration is long overdue. We do well to remember that Steve Biko broke his restrictions and was captured and murdered in the quest to unify the liberation movement. The enemy of our people fear nothing more than black unity.

BLF congratulates both organisations for their effort towards the unity of the oppressed masses of occupied Azania. We remain committed to the ideal of a fighting Azanian Front that would strike at the enemy as one force.

Sobukwe Lives! Biko Lives!
Phambili with BLACK UNITY!
Phambili with BLACK POWER!
Azania shall be free!

For black unity BLF will not commemorate June 16 separately

Posted on June 15, 2019 by Black First Land First

In pursuit of the unity of black people and their organizations Black First Land First (BLF) will not hold a separate event to commemorate the June 16, 1976 Black Power uprising. For far too long black organizations have allowed disunity to dictate even how we remember important days in the calendar of black liberation.

BLF has written to the older Black Consciousness (BC) organizations and engaged them on this matter. We call on our members to commemorate the event with BC organizations such as the Azania People’s Organization (AZAPO) and the Socialist Party of Azania (SOPA). We hope unity may come soon enough. BLF shall take the same attitude on Sharpeville Day, which is correctly a day whose commemoration must be led by the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC).

Black unity in struggle is difficult to achieve, but we must struggle to do so.

We remember June 16; 1976 uprising! Lets commemorate for black unity in struggle.

BLACK FIRST LAND FIRST ON SHARPVILLE DAY

Posted on March 21, 2016May 4, 2016 by Black First Land First

Today we remember the hundreds of our people murdered by the apartheid regime for standing up and saying “enough is enough”.

Today we remember and honor the leadership and legacy of Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe. We remember his exemplary motto of “Serve…Suffer…Sacrifice”. Sobukwe led from the front. He was prepared to suffer for his beliefs.

Today we note that those who murdered and maimed our people remain free. Those who massacred our people have not been called to account.
We note that there has not been acknowledgement, there has not been reparations for the Sharpville massacre. Continue reading “BLACK FIRST LAND FIRST ON SHARPVILLE DAY” →

BLF CONDEMNS THE RELEASE OF CHRIS HANI’S MURDERER JANUSZ WALUS AND CALLS FOR THE IMMEDIATE UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL APLA SOLDIERS

Posted on March 11, 2016May 4, 2016 by Black First Land First

BLF calls on the ANC government to release all Azania Peoples Liberation Army (APLA) soldiers immediately and without terms and conditions. After 21 years of ANC rule we still have the anti black situation where revolutionaries like the APLA soldiers (who have been in jail for assaulting white power) while apartheid criminals like Janusz Walus (who murdered struggle leader, Chris Hani) gets to be released! Moreover APLA soldiers like Kenny Motsamai are now in jail for 27 years (for serving black revolutionary interests) while Janusz Walus (who has sought to preserve and maintain white power by murdering Chris Hani), is being released and thereby rewarded after a relatively shorter term of 22 years imprisonment. In this context it is also deeply concerning that apartheid-era criminals, F.W. de Klerk and Adrian Vlok, who were complicit in the crimes resulting in the mass murders of blacks get to walk free. BLF calls for these two criminals to be arrested and made to account for their heinous crimes against blacks in furtherance of white supremacy.
