This article reflects on the unfinished task of liberation – as expressed in issues of land – and
drawing from the work of Franz Fanon and the Durban-based social movement Abahlali
baseMjondolo. It locates its reflections in four specific sites of struggle in the City of Tshwane,
and against the backdrop of the mission statement of the Faculty of Theology at the University
of Pretoria, as well as the Capital Cities Research Project based in the same university. Reflecting
on the ‘living death’ of millions of landless people on the one hand, and the privatisation of
liberation on the other, it argues that a liberating praxis of engagement remains a necessity in
order to break the violent silences that perpetuate exclusion. |
