Democratic Left Front

The Democratic Left Front was formed as a non-sectarian and non-authoritarian anti-capitalist front in South Africa.[1][2][3] It was formed at the Conference for a Democratic Left held in Johannesburg in January 2011.[4][5]

The Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front has expressed reservations about the almost entirely middle class nature of the leadership of the DLF.[6] However the South African Unemployed Peoples' Movement has welcomed the DLF as an "historic opportunity".[7]

The Democratic Left Front was actively involved in the Occupy Johannesburg movement in coordination with Taking Back South Africa! on 15 October 2011 as part of the global Occupy movement.[8]
