The UDF at 40: A commemoration with lessons and portents

Abstract

At the Institute for African Alternatives’ (IFAA’s) commemoration of 40 years since the launch of the United Democratic Front (UDF), struggle veterans on the panel shared more than their memories; they listened to young people in the audience berating the current generation of leaders, and sympathised with their anger and frustration. BRUCE KADALIE, who chaired the discussion, shares his observations.
