United Front (South Africa)

The United Front was an attempt to unite the South African left outside of the ruling African National Congress. It formally launched in 2015, following preparatory activities in 2014, including a summit in November with 350 delegates representing labour unions, social movements and popular organisations, faith-based organisations, NGOs and anti-capitalist formations. It effectively supplanted the Democratic Left Front, a smaller formation which had been established in 2011, itself founded following the collapse of the Anti-Privatisation Forum.
