SANCO (South African National Civic Organisation) is an independent civic movement with its own Constitution, Rules and Regulations, but for its operations, it collaborates with other democratic organizations. SANCO membership is drawn from people who belong and support different political parties, but encourages people to support those parties with similar objectives to it, which is non-racism, n
on-sexism, non-tribalism, unitary and progressive. Due to historical disadvantagement of the African people; SANCO is part of the broad Alliance led by the ANC; which includes COSATU and (SACP). The National Democratic Revolution (NDR) has been attained by the transfer of power from the minority (white) to the majority (Black) in 1994, now the fight is still on for Democratic Social Transformation (DST). Some people think that SANCO has passed its sell-by date, but it is not as African people still live in poverty in Townships and Country side while the economical power is still in white hands. The struggle will only end when the former oppressed people are economically liberated, that’s where DST (Democratic Social Transformation) comes in.
