Individuals from the informal committees at Amplats were forging relationships with the DLF, some of which would fall by the wayside, while others would be long-lasting. The mission of the DLF was to engage with workers in a conversation and to provide solidarity at this critical moment just before the strike. It was in effect following the insurgency of the working class by engaging with pre-existing informal networks through the core leaders of the imminent strike. The DLF activists maintained that:

we are here to support you no matter what you want. We want you to invite us to the meetings, so that we can advise when it’s possible ….
