Speak: the voice of the community, published by the Speak Community Newspaper Project, reflected the Transvaal communities' struggle against relocations, shack demolitions and evictions. The newspaper reported on the communities' sustained efforts in creating residents' associations, including women's associations, to lobby for better housing, affordable rents and better service provision. United community action against the Government elections resulting in mass meetings to reject the proposed Government constitution was documented in detail.
