- Conference for a Democratic Left
-
The Conference for a Democratic Left (CDL) was a two year process that aimed to united the anti-capitalist left in South Africa into a new and non-authoritarian formation.[1][2][3]
The CDL met in Johannesburg in January 2011[4] and formed the Democratic Left Front (DLF).[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]
