African Peoples' Democratic Union of Southern Africa

Historical Historical The African Peoples' Democratic Union of Southern Africa (APDUSA) is a Trotskyist political group in South Africa.

Formed in 1961, it emerged from the Non-European Unity Movement, and was closely associated with I.B.

Its aim was to end white minority domination of South Africa and ultimately achieve a socialist revolution supported by an alliance of the urban proletariat and peasantry.

[1] APDUSA was involved in armed struggle in the 1960s, but suffered heavy repression from the apartheid state.

[2] APDUSA remains active today [3] and publishes the APUDUSAN Newsletter.
