This article analyzes what it meant to pursue “peace” in apartheid South Africa, and shows that a clear and coherent strategy of achieving “peace with justice” was pursued —in the 1980s—by a network of non‐governmental organizations which were seeking to build a non‐racial democratic South Africa by building the future in the present. This approach added to the orthodox repertoire of non‐cooperation anddefiance, and played a crucial role in making a democratic South Africa possible.
