15:25 – “Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto weSizwe, whilst a purely defensive action against the violence of Apartheid, the factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue.”
21:40 – “Our struggle has reached a decisive moment. We call on our people to seize this moment so that the process to our democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait. Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts.”

Below are famous quotes from Joe Slovo.
“For example in the rural areas, our judgement is that virtually the whole farming community is part of the South African Defense Force.” (Probably the reason why farm murders have always been so prevalent and the Commandos were eventually disbanded)
“We need to respond to the mood of the people – that we must take the lives of the other side as well.”
“There are only two sorts of people in life you can trust – good Christians and good Communists.”
“One thing is obvious. Our policy, which is directed at making the country ungovernable, has started to bear fruit. The process that has been initiated is irreversible.”
“We believe that armed struggle, together with civil disobedience and resistance, will continue to play a key role in our strategy.”
“The ANC, we believe, stands at the head of the whole liberation front, the whole Mass Democratic Movement.”
“However, the combination of civil resistance, of large scale mass activities and strikes, with a certain degree of revolutionary violence, could provoke a crisis in the enemy’s camp that would ultimately lead to essential changes.”
