| Description: |
This poster is silkscreened in black marbled with red, produced by the Medu Art Ensemble (Artist: Judy Seidman) in 1982 and based on a photograph by Eli Weinberg at Kliptown. The image depicts a community organisation holding up a banner titled “THERE SHALL BE WORK AND SECURITY ALL SHALL ENJOY EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS AFRICA MAYIBUYE”. These demands were frequently used as slogans on posters and flyers to represent the issues of communities who were suffering. The text reads “THERE SHALL BE WORK AND SECURITY ALL SHALL ENJOY EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS AFRICA MAYIBUYE THE PEOPLE SHALL GOVERN”. Digitised by Specialised Archival Solutions in 2009. Reproduced in "Images of Defiance: South African Resistance posters in the 1980s" on page 11 (number 17) of the 1991 SAHA / Ravan Press edition and the 2004 SAHA / STE Publishers edition.
