Go Back Azanian Student Movement Background The Azanian Student Movement (Azasm) is a Black Student Movement drawing its membership from High School level of education. It was formed on the 3rd July 1983 at Kranzenstein Mission near the University of the North (Turfloop) in Pietersburg, Nortern Province. It was formed as a result of the political homelessness in which the Black Students, who were Black Consciousness faithfulls found themselves in, when in 1981 the up to the then BC AZASO abandoned the Black Consciousness ideology for something "more contemporary". Our progress, through out the years, has discomforted and caused displeasure in a number of persuasions - this is very much evident in the wounds on the bodies of our members and the constant harassment of our supporters. Aims and Objectives 1. To create a forum for Black Students to articulate and to express their aspirations as part of the Black Community. 2. To mobilise and unite students around the liberatory ideology of Black Consciousness. 3. To encourage the involvement of the students in problems facing the student community. 4. To work towards a nation-building educational system which will instill a sense of creativity, identity and self-reliance amongst the students of AZANIA. 5. To work towards the total transformation of the present system in this country, and the ushering in of an anti-racist, Socialist Republic of Azania.
