Landless People's Movement

[1] The Landless People's Movement boycotted parliamentary elections[2] and had a history of conflict with the African National Congress.

On 24 July 2001 provincial representatives of local landless formations met with regional organisations to unite their grievances and collectively seek change to relieve their struggles.

[7] On 13 November 2003 the movement issued a Memorandum to then President Thabo Mbeki asking "why is development brought to us through guns and the terror" and demanding an immediate halt to all evictions on farms and from urban squatter camps.

[9] The Landless People's Movement has been described as being successful in linking the commonalities between both rural and urban land dispossession.

[15] The movement claims to have been subject to severe repression in Johannesburg in 2010,[16] including arrest, arson and murder.
