Abstract
It was while working on the mines in Johannesburg that the young Walter Ulyate Max Sisulu first witnessed the power of collective action. Mine workers organised a strike over the quality of their food, after which it improved. The young Sisulu was impressed, and was inspired to harness the power of the collective to improve the lives of ordinary South Africans.-
