The Five Freedoms Forum (FFF), founded in 1986 in response to a call from the black community for whites to show response to the State of Emergency, was made up of organisations ranging from human rights groups to religious, political, professional and student organisations. The aim of one country and one people in South Africa was to be achieved by striving for the five freedoms: freedom from want, freedom of speech and association, freedom from fear, freedom of conscience and freedom from discrimination.
