The African National Congress is one of the oldest political movements in Africa. Founded in 1912, it now approaches its 100th anniversary.
It initially was a movement for the liberation of Black Africans from colonism by Britain and later by a special type of internal colonisation by White people within the country.
It operated in parallel to other liberation organisations which were non-racial, like the South African Communist Party and racially constituted organisations like the Congress of Democrats (White), South African Coloured Peoples Organisation and the South African Indian Congress (Indian Asians).
The primary statement of the goals of the African National Congress is a document drawn up in 1955, known as the Freedom Charter. This famous document was the culmination of a two year process of organisation and consultation among oppressed people throughout the country. At the end of the process representatives from all regions gathered as the "Congress of The People" at Kliptown in the then Transvaal. They drew up a list of demands which has formed the basis of the programme of action of the ANC for the last 53 years.
The major headings of the Freedom Charter are:
Under each heading are a number of more detailed demands.
The Preamble is worth quoting here.

Much of the spirit of the Freedom Charter was later adopted by the American Civil Rights Movement.
The Freedom Charter has come under criticism from African Nationalists, Black Consciousness activists and various factions of Marxists for its essentially liberal politically centrist views, and for some years it was out of favour as a guiding document. The title 'Charterist' was even seen as perjorative.
However, the collapse of communism and the marginalisation of the Black Consciousness movement as racist resulted in the re-emergence of the Freedom Charter.
The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, drawn up as part of the democratisation of the country, is closely compatible with the ideals of the Charter. The constitution guides the ANC as government, and the Freedom Charter guides the ANC as a political movement.
The Charter is too broad for use as a working policy document and it has significant omissions relating to important issues like freedom of speech and foreign policy, so actual detailed policy of the party is decided by delegates attending National Congresses of the party, the most recent of which was held in Polokwane in 2007.
The Charter and all later policy documents of the party are to be found on their website www.anc.org.za
