Culture is a dynamic phenomenon, which is as old as society itself, thus it is a natural mirror of a given society, reflecting the aspirations, beliefs and behaviour of the people. The ANC community at Mazimbu in Tanzania had had characteristics of such a society. SOMAFCO, however, was a community in exile forced to relocate by an unjust apartheid system. During apartheid era, culture was used to further political and material motives of that system. On the other hand culture of the oppressed was used as a weapon of resistance that system and forged unity among various groups towards building an alternative society based on democratic values. It was under conditions that in the thinking of the ANC, that as weapon in the struggle, had to play an important role in the overall work of the ANC. This was pertinent at SOMAFCO where since the establishment of the complex in the late 70s, emerged mushrooming of cultural resistance in various forms; poetry, theatre, performing arts, graphic arts, sports, etc. All the sections of the community, young and old, student and worker took active part in the cultural activities. Though, they came from different cultural background, they saw themselves as part of a whole. Above all, culture was used to mobilize local and international communities against apartheid system.
