Old skeletons are trembling in their closets as the traditional weapons of South African political play are sharpened at this time of elections. The split in the ruling party has done little to pacify the grudge match between the IFP and the ANC in Nongoma in KwaZulu-Natal. Instead, Cope's emergence has opened another front for beatings and intimidation between the sparring partners. Cope members in East London have been left to wonder "if the ANC is declaring war on us." And amongst the APF's own affiliates, the office of the Kliptown Concerned Residents was broken into. Electioneering material for the organisation's 28 January by-election campaign in the ward were removed by unknown 'comrade tsotsis.' ... read full story / add a comment

On November 2008, the Emfuleni Mayor, Mr. Mushutudu addressed angry residents of Kwamasiza who have been without water and sanitation for the past seven years. The mayor, like many others promised that first thing as soon as his office opens, there will be different contractors working in the area and that Kwa-masiza hostel will be his priority this year. When he was told by members of the CAWP that this is just one of those false promises, he guaranteed residents that they will see change this year. ... read full story / add a comment

Since November last year, the Coalition Against Water Privatisation (CAWP) has heard complaints from residents of Kliptown that the City has been sending many people statements saying they should pay for services to avoid cut-offs or face legal action. These are the very same people who do not have running water or taps in their yards but make use of communal taps and at the same time use paraffin to cook. All 7 people who came to report this matter to the CAWP said that they owe the City R194. Is this a flat rate or a coincidence based on estimations? ... read full story / add a comment

As the country waits anxiously for a probe into the arms deal, the African National Congress (ANC) government has approved a whopping R7.3 billion for the Lesotho Highlands Dam Phase 2. Water Affairs and Forestry Minister Lindiwe Hendricks, made the announcement after a cabinet briefing last Thursday. The government claims that the second phase of the Lesotho Highlands scheme will ensure water security for industry and consumers. During the struggle against apartheid, it was the African National Congress that launched a halt on the construction of Katse Dam. By 1996, at the same time as the ANC was adopting GEAR, the ANC-led government approved the project. The World Bank (WB) had already agreed in 1991 to finance this phase of the multi–dam water transfer scheme with a $110-million loan for the Katse Dam. The WB loaned a further $45-million for the completion of the first phase. ... read full story / add a comment

The Anti Privatisation Forum joined with the Coalition Against Xenophobia at the 'Lindela Repatriation Centre' in Krugerdorp yesterday/today (22nd November) for a 24 hour picket calling for Lindela to be shut down. Our struggle knows no borders and we extend our solidarity to our African brothers and sisters who are being grabbed on the street, chased out of their homes and abducted to the deportation camp. The existence of the camp is a long-standing shame of democratic South Africa. Whether the 'Congress of the People' rightfully belongs to anyone in South Africa is a question void of any meaning when there is a complete unwillingness to confront the glaring racism, Afrophobia and violence that is Lindela. If South Africa 'belongs to all those who live in it', the principals on the throne of the Freedom Charter would be joining the Coalition to demand its closure. ... read full story / add a comment
