Such groups are distinguished by divergent ideologies, objectives, scales, cultures and leadership, modes of functioning, funding and relations with the state, and are confronted by myriad challenges. Nevertheless, they continue to offer hope and succour to the oppressed, the dispossessed and the disenfranchised and bring their concerns on to the agenda of state action and the discourse of electoral politics. - Reproduced.
