AmaButho (Eastern Cape)

Explanation
quasi-military UDF formations consisting of both armed soldiers and ordinary civilians, with their own command structures. While neither the UDF nor the ANC controlled these structures directly, they were seen at the time as being broadly in line with the strategy of a 'people's war'. They were most active in the 1980s and particularly in areas around the Eastern Cape.
