Critically assess the role played by the UDF, MDM, civic
organisations, churches, students, and women in
mobilising the grassroots against the Apartheid
government, from 1979 to 1989.

By 1979, the Wiehahn Commission (1977) had been established to engage in labour
reform. The Labour Relations Act of 1979 also resulted in black workers being able

significant role in the fight against Apartheid. This is evident in the actions of the
United Democratic Front (UDF), Mass Democratic Movement (MDM), civic
organisations churches, students, and women.
