His social activism began in the early 1940s when he began advocating for the rights of tenants as well as organising bus boycotts and protesting against the practice of segregation. He eventually became the secretary of the Alexandra Squatters’ Resistance, a movement necessitated by high rents in and around Johannesburg.\n\nDikobe went on to write for a newpaper called Inkululeko, meaning Freedom, and was briefly arrested for his political activities, with a ban placed on his writings. In 1963, he took a job as a nightwatchman and began writing The Marabi Dance.
