Phakamani, meaning "stand up", reflecting the call to stand up and join the democratic forces inside South Africa and abroad to oppose the legality of the South African Government, was published by the ANC Department of Religious Affairs in Zambia. Phakamani acknowledged the role of religion in the oppression of many South Africans and supported the efforts of theologians struggling to find a meaningful way of expressing their faith in the struggle for a non-racial, non-sexist and democratic South Africa.
