The Unemployed People’s Movement (UPM) was formed in August 2009 to respond to the crisis of unemployment and the commodification of essential services in a society dominated by corruption and greed. As Steve Biko said: “The blacks are tired of standing at the touchlines to witness a game that they should be playing”. We want to do things for ourselves and all by ourselves. The UPM is born out of a realisation that we are protagonists of our lives and nobody will free us but ourselves, we – the unemployed – will have to be our own liberators.
