In post-apartheid South Africa, social movements are using direct action to fight privatization, displacement and police brutality.  The Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign's Ashraf Cassiem talks about their work opposing neoliberalism on the ground, helping poor people to self-organize to fight eviction, turn back on water and electricity for which they cannot afford to pay, and resist the commodification of basic resources.
