On the 1-2 November 2018, at St George Hotel and Convention Centre in Pretoria, the summit will sign a vague and hollow declaration in support of the fight against gender-based violence, so that the government and the parties involved can pretend that it is supported by all sections of South African society, coming together to fight for women, LGBTIQ+ and children, when in reality the scourge of gender based violence will remain unchanged. ... read full story / add a comment

For over 2 weeks now, farmworkers in different areas of the Western Cape have been striking. This is a spontaneous strike driven by workers on the ground in response to decades and decades of brutality at the hands of farmers and a government that has thus far refused to listen to workers and transform the rural landscape characterised by dependency master-slave relations, racism, sexism, starvation wages and violations of the limited freedoms won from decades of working class struggle. Farmworkers do backbreaking work sometimes for 12 hours a day to produce food and wine for everybody in this country and countries overseas yet they are forced to work under unsafe and unhealthy conditions, to drink dirty water, live without electricity, live without toilet facilities, on poverty wages, suffer threats of evictions, and violent physical and verbal abuse and intimidation at the hands of the bosses. ... read full story / add a comment

The Leeuwenkuil farm in Agter-Paarl, Cape Town – one of largest farms in the Western Cape, which produces wine and olives, is one instance of the ongoing intimidation and attacks against workers by bosses on the farms. Here, the farmer, Willie Dreyer, is denying workers’ rights to freedom of association and freedom of speech. The farmer has intimidated workers by dismissing shop stewards and laying false charges of attempted murder against two farm workers, Amos White and Patrick Philander, and charges of assault against CSAAWU’s Assistant General Secretary, Karel Swart. The union has been denied access to the farm on weekends and after hours in the week on a number of occasions. We maintain that workers must be able to meet with any organization or person they choose to in their own time. It should not be the prerogative of the farmer to control workers’ own time and who they can and cannot meet.
Workers and their families are standing behind their dismissed leaders. They are sharing what they have with each other – their pain and their strength.

While US media has focused on Hurricane Sandy's destruction in the nation, the historic storm's global impact started days ago in Caribbean nations. In Haiti, the storm has left worries of a food crisis and another cholera outbreak, while the "disaster of decades of policies" by the international community compounds misery. ... read full story / add a comment

At least 31 members of the Socialist Party of Malaysia (Parti Sosialis Malaysia, PSM) -- including member of parliament Dr Michael Jeyakumar -- have been detained by police. The Malaysian government is whipping up a massive red-scare campaign around the Bersih 2.0 rally planned for July 9 (see statement below), and is increasingly resorting to repression to try to prevent an expected huge attendance. The PSM on June 17 announced it would mobilise its members and related organisations to participate in the July 9 rally. The PSM stated that: "July 9 is an important juncture in our nation's history. It is a day devoted to democracy and fair elections. We call all people who are for democracy and fair elections to come out and support the call for democratic and fair elections. History has taught us that the struggle for democracy and freedom does not come in a silver platter." ... read full story / add a comment

The revolution underway in Egypt is being closely watched by Gaza's youth who see it as a source of empowerment and inspiration. It has stirred our sentiments and has moved us to take to the streets to show our solidarity with our neighbors in Egypt. We attempt to absorb every minute event so as to carry it through the years when we will be able to tell our children how proud we were to have lived through one of the greatest and most inspirational events in the history of the Arab world. ... read full story / add a comment
southern africa / the left / non-anarchist press Monday January 31, 2011 - 14:41 by Steering Committee
The declaration that came out of the Conference of the Democratic Left. It begins, but only begins to indicate the great sense of comradeship, solidarity and unity that the conference was able to develop amongst a very broad range of forces. We had unionists (from all federations,) social movement activists, youth and women, queers, Maoists, Trotskyists, independent Marxists, anarchists, pacifists and many others. We had tough debates, especially about the nature of the formation we were establishing, we had differences and disagreements - even about process, yet we rose to the occasion and have constructed a democratic framework and put in place organisational processes through which we can act together. As the declaration indicates our first task is to build solidarity amongst poor and working people in struggle. We have agreed to build campaigns against unemployment, support struggles for decent services especially housing, fight for land and agrarian reform, join with others in fighting to overcome the education crisis and will join the growing movements for environmental and climate justice: COP 17 is in our sights. ... read full story / add a comment

At the moment it is abundantly easy to sense everywhere in the Arab World elation at what appears to be one of greatest events in modern Arab history. A genuine popular revolution, spontaneous and apparently leaderless, yet sustained and remarkably determined, overthrew a system that by all accounts had been the most entrenched and secure in the whole region. The wider implications beyond Tunisia are hard to miss. Just as in the case of the Iranian revolution more than three decades ago, what is now happening in Tunisia is watched by all in the Arab world--as either a likely model of the transformation to come in their respective countries, or at least as a badly needed source of revolutionary inspiration. ... read full story / add a comment

After years of non-violent joint struggle of Palestinian local popular committees with Israeli leftists (with the prominence of the Anarchists Against the Wall initiative among them) a new stage is developing. Lately, the persistent struggles have expanded well beyond the struggle against the separation fence - Sheikh Jarrah and Nabi Saleh, and a general West Bank Coordination Committee was founded, with an AAtW member as internet spokesperson for it. ... read full story / add a comment

The revolution that has started since June 2009 is the outburst of the repressed anger of the people against the criminal Islamic regime of Iran. This is a revolution for liberation from a corrupt system, for smashing a machine of murder, plunder, ignorance and lies which has been wrecking the lives of the people for thirty years. This revolution will not stop until it has crushed the entire inhuman system in power. ... read full story / add a comment

southern africa / community struggles / non-anarchist press Monday September 07, 2009 - 19:47 by Alexandra Vukuzenzele Crisis Committee
We, the Alexandra Vukuzenzele Crisis Committee (AVCC), have been fighting for our right to move from our shacks to houses since 2002. We have engaged the Alexandra Renewal Project (ARP) and local ANC councilors, but they have failed to respond to our grievances. To push forward the struggle of the poor for our right to housing, we have been non-violently occupying empty RDP houses in extension 7. The government and the police have responded by brutally assaulting us in order to stop us from applying this method of non-violent direct action - the only method we have to force the government to heed to our demands for housing. ... read full story / add a comment
southern africa / miscellaneous / non-anarchist press Tuesday August 11, 2009 - 18:42 by Wits Palestine Solidarity Committee
We write to you as members of the Wits community with a deep sense of distress. Over the past week, and in the lead up to the scheduled presence of accused war criminal Lieutenant Colonel David Benjamin on our campus, a series of events have gravely disappointed us as students and staff of this University. There have been persistent attempts to engage the University through letters and petitions, but the University’s ‘responses’, combined with subsequent events, have been a severe disappointment to all those who have been ethically and politically moved by the case. As a result, we write you this open letter stating our three primary concerns with regard to the events of this last week: ... read full story / add a comment

1. The government of Alvaro Uribe has announced a decision to grant the United States the use of military bases on national territory by way of an agreement that would place all of the Colombian land mass at U.S. disposal for all types of military operations inside and outside of our country. Within Colombia a foreign army would become involved in the internal armed conflict thereby exacerbating confrontation and making peace more elusive. Colombia would also become a military stationing platform for aggressive expansion of the North American world power in our region, impacting the stability of neighboring democratic and progressive governments and interfering with important plans toward the integration of Latin America and the Caribbean . ... read full story / add a comment

The Palestine Solidarity Committee supports the position taken by Zackie Achmat and Jonathan Shapiro in their call to Jewish organisation Limmud to withdraw its invitation for war criminal David Benjamin to speak at its events next week. We also support Achmat’s call on people who support justice to withdraw their participation if Benjamin remains on the programme. In particular, we call on those who stand for human rights and social justice – especially within the legal fraternity – to be consistent in their positions. ... read full story / add a comment |
