Older and younger activists supplied complementary governance styles during the township rising

Evidence

Bozzoli’s biographical sketches of the relatively young Albert Sebola, Ashwell Zwane, and Piet Mogano back up her generational account. However, her parallel biographies of the older activists—the Mayekiso brothers and Obed Bapela—underline the importance to the larger resistance movement of linkage by political leaders with longer experience and extensive outside connections. … The elders also organized less violent, more “rationalist” varieties of local control in contrast to the “millenarian” dreams of the youth. … By late April of 1986, the township council had resigned and the two groups of activists, in uneasy coalitions, provided whatever government existed in Alexandra. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 608
