Disclaimer: These are some impressions of life, politics and social movements in South Africa (and to a lesser extent Namibia, which shares many of the same historical and social conditions). My ideas are based on a few weeks of travel, and some limited participation as an Australian outsider in political actions. For much better analysis, check out zabalaza.net - a great resource of anarchist news and analysis from South Africa.

A true liberation movement would never have killed Andries Tatane, attacked and jailed activists of social movements. It would never send people to lull – it would encourage people to continue organising and mobilising against injustices and oppression. ... read full story / add a comment

The Democratic Alliance (DA) wants to present itself as South Africa's opposition-in-waiting, for the day when ANC domination withers. But look at Look at urbanisation policy in the Cape, controlled by the DA: behind the liberal rhetoric of the party lies an ideology very comfortable with increasing the suffering of the most vulnerable. ... read full story / add a comment

On Saturday December 3rd, the international day for a climate action
march, the 500 strong Democratic Left Front contingent made up of
activists from different parts of the country, arrived at the Botha
Park Assembly point with its banners demanding: '1 Million Climate
Jobs Now!' 'Africa is Burning, Transform the System!' and
'Listen to the People!'. Our red t-shirts said the same thing. Our
activists also prepared their own posters the night before. We had our
own marshals and sound system. We were unarmed and intent on acting
peacefully. ... read full story / add a comment

The civil society march on the COP 17 was attacked by ANC Youth League thugs. This report is from a largely Trotskyist organisation but the eyewitness account of the 'green bombers' of the ANC Youth League attacking the march is important. Other more libertarian orientated organizations have long suffered the same fate in Durban. ... read full story / add a comment

Climate change is one of the main issues facing the world at this moment. We
all know that when things go wrong, like when there is an earthquake or a
flood, or a drought, poor people are most vulnerable. And usually the response
to these disasters is a second disaster for poor people. For instance in Sri
Lanka the so-called ‘development’ after the Tsunami forcibly removed
fisherfolk from their coastal land to give it to developers to build hotels.
Sometimes the attempts to prevent disaster are also a disaster for the poor. In
South Africa when it is acknowledged that we as a country are using too much
electricity it is not the big companies or the rich that have the police and
the security guards kick down their doors to disconnect them. In some other
countries in Africa poor rural people are being forced off their land so that
it can be used for bio-fuels. Maybe this will slow down climate change but why
must it be the poor people in Africa that must pay the price for this? They are
not the ones that caused the problem. The ones that caused this problem are the
rich, especially in America and in Europe. ... read full story / add a comment

The reason why millions and millions of people, especially young people, are unemployed and live in poverty in South Africa is because of the capitalist and state systems. Capitalism and the state lead to all sorts of problems including unemployment, inequality and the oppression of workers, women and people of colour. ... read full story / add a comment

Abahlali baseMjondolo will return to the Durban magistrate’s court on Tuesday
3 May 2011 to support the twelve men who have become victims of the political
conspiracy to disguise the reality of the armed attack on our movement that
took place in the Kennedy Road settlement on the 26th and 27th of September
2009. That attack displaced hundreds of women, men and children and the
resulting conflicts left some people with serious injuries and two people dead. ... read full story / add a comment

On the 27th of April 1994 the people of this country stood in long queues for many hours, waiting to cast their vote for the first time. In some parts of the country the weather was indeed hostile, freezing cold, while in other parts of the country it was scorching hot. Our people were voting for the first time, voting for an end to racism and for democracy and a better life - for jobs, free education and decent housing. Over and above their vote for their material needs to be met they were voting for their freedom. Or so they were made to believe! ... read full story / add a comment

What follows below is an on the spot report from the Coordinators of the Swaziland Democracy Campaign and the Swaziland United Democratic Front in Swaziland. What we are witnessing is an unprecedented mobilization of the security cluster of the Swazi regime. Despite the statements of the Foreign Minister on SAFM this morning, and other spokespersons of the regime, the Swazi regime is flaunting all the universally accepted civil rights of its people to organize, gather and peacefully express their desire for a democratic Swaziland. The Minister said this morning that the government are ‘in dialogue’ with civil society and they are hoping to reach an understanding. Clearly as the statement below shows, ‘dialogue’ in Swaziland actually means illegal detention! It is now reliably reported that more than 50 leading activists have been detained including journalists from South Africa. ... read full story / add a comment
