Because the organisations were banned, it was launched in the late 1980's - the Communist Party you will remember, had been banned in 1950, so in order to operate inside South Africa, we had to operate in the underground.
	The ANC as you will remember, was banned in 1960 - it had two choices, it either could disappear or it had to operate illegally and that meant operating in the underground, so Vula was one of many endeavours to set up underground - in this case, political structures - there were underground military structures, Vula was essentially a political structure.
