Op-Ed: TAC – The reach and influence of grassroots activism

TAC is the most important post-Apartheid social movement in South Africa. They highlighted early on in our young democracy the relationship between the law and social and political issues which has a long history in this country. TAC is a dynamic social movement that manages to use the power of people as well as the power of the law to improve equitable access to health care in this country. TAC's activism radically changed government policy and in so doing inspired young teenagers and students in the post 1994 generation with the idea that activism can make tangible differences to thousands of peoples' lives. TAC also continuously reminds that us that the purpose of the law in a constitutional democracy is to serve the poor. By TESS PEACOCK.
