Revolutionary greetings and welcome to a new year. I like to extend my sincere gratitude to our subscribers, readers, followers, and commentators. Your engagement with our content demonstrates the value you place on these important daily products.

This year we will be adopting a novel trajectory on our path as we strive to advance the vision of the National Democratic Revolution.

This path relates to making our liberation history easily accessible and exciting on the website, and providing an in-depth analysis of structures, events and personalities from a perspective of who the inspirational Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Commander-in-Chief, Oliver Tambo, referred to at the Kabwe Conference in 1985 as “Africans, Revolutionaries and Internationalists” (AFRI).

Involved in this path, will be the articulation of the main revolutionary themes, from which categories of the liberation struggle will emerge, and such themes will be presented in various formats to enhance the understanding of our liberation struggle, especially from a standpoint of revolutionary political education.

There will be monthly and later-on weekly engagements online, wherein notable structures and events, such as campaigns, battles, and related activities, will be deliberated upon with living legends who participated in those structures and events. These deliberations will be recorded and made accessible to subscribers on the website.

We are deeply indebted to your feedback and committed to providing even more engaging content. To this end, as well as considering the need to sustain this capacity, we will be introducing a tiered subscription model, which includes:

Free Access: Enjoy a limited number of articles at no cost.

Monthly Access: Gain full access to all articles and videos for R80 per month.

Premium Access: Gain full access to all articles and videos for R650 per year. Premium subscribers will also have exclusive access to live follow-up video debate forums, allowing for direct interaction with authors and experts on key issues.

We believe this model will ensure the sustainability of our contribution while providing valuable insights and fostering meaningful dialogue within our community.

It is important to emphasise that the relative freedoms we are enjoying today did not come cheap, millions lost their lives, property, land and their limbs, and many of these experiences were not recorded and shared generally, and particularly with posterity. This is the gap we are trying to fill.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, let us strive towards a genuinely African national democratic society.
