Among the speakers that took to the stand on August 20 was Cameron Dugmore leader of the ANC in the Western Cape Provincial Parliament.

Joining him was Allan Boesak, one of the previous leaders of the Union Democratic Front, a broad coalition of unions, churches, civic organisations and unions who formed a wide opposition to the apartheid regime.
