They seem to be a very radical and progressive movement. Do anyone here know anything more about them?

We should definitly do more to support them and spread information about their struggle.

The Zabalaza Anarchist Front in SA works with them regularly. AbM is a really great movement that rejects political parties, electoral participation and believes in a ¨politics of the poor¨ which more or less is straight up anarchism focused on self management, democracy and direct action. They´ve gotten some pretty good results as well and the ANC hates them for it. Prior to this their townships were all ANC strongholds, now they don't vote.
