The courage and determination of the struggle during the apartheid must serve as an example to the oppressive regime of the Zuma administration that the more you suppress the people the more they resist. It is trough those struggle that we have the Zuma administration today and it is through the street protest and mass mobilization that we will topple this capitalist government and the tenderpreneurs that defend it in the language of the left. ... read full story / add a comment

As much as those of us who identify ourselves as social progressives would like to believe otherwise, the reality is that South Africa is a bastion of social conservatism. Indeed, one of the most glaring contradictions of South Africa’s post-apartheid ‘transition’ is that the widely acknowledged (and regularly celebrated) social progressiveness of the Constitution is, in large part, at fundamental odds with the beliefs and views of the majority of South Africans themselves. ... read full story / add a comment

This coming week is Israel Apartheid Week, a week during which people around the world unite in protest against the brutal oppression of the Palestinian people in Gaza and elsewhere. In support of this great initiative, we have decided to host this week's screening in collaboration with the Palestinian Solidarity Committee, who will be at the event to discuss the current situation, history and underlying issues of the conflict. Our documentary is 'Bil'in My Love', a moving film about the nonviolent struggle in the West Bank village of Bil’in against construction of the Israeli separation wall. ... read full story / add a comment

This week has opened with furious defensive statements from the ANC Youth League against the weekend’s media reports about the lavish lifestyle of its president and the millions he has made from tenders awarded to companies he has interests in. Our response to this news cannot just be of disgust at the self-enrichment of those individuals in positions of political influence. Neither can our response be plaintive calls for public officials to account for the vanishing funds. Instead, we can only resist the underdevelopment of poor communities that this culture of greed is causing. These are called protests against the lack of service delivery. But more than that, these are protests against the corruption of development projects opened by privatisation and pursued by the tenderpreneur class. The tendering system to deliver services is only empowering a few at the expense of community upliftment. ... read full story / add a comment

On Thursday, Jacob Zuma promised us a government that will work "faster, harder and smarter." It sounded a little like the old Standard Bank slogan, "Simpler. Better. Faster." The ANC's 2009 election slogan was "Working Together We Can Do More," which was just a word away from the British cell phone company's advertising campaign, launched the year before, that declared "Together we can do more." But the slogan was good for a smile when activists in Jo'burg took the opportunity to grab cans of spray-paint and stencils and conclude it with words like 'corruption' and 'evictions' when it appeared on election posters. ... read full story / add a comment

For as long as Eskom continues to see public utilities as an opportunity for private profit, and electricity as a commodity for private consumption rather than a common good, civil society should invoke the tradition of civil disobedience and support communities and popular movements to resist state repression while they organise to appropriate electricity on a non-commodified, safe and carefully disciplined basis. ... read full story / add a comment

The artcile looks at two recent mine occupations in South Africa and the challenges that the workers involved faced. Indeed, during the occupations the workers were not only confronted by the bosses, but also by bureaucrats within their own unions. The article, therefore, argues that the struggle for workers' self-emancipation will not only need to confront the economic and political elite, but also a brueaucratic class within unions. ... read full story / add a comment

150 contract workers at National Print, in Westmead, Pinetown, have walked
off the job. The night shift workers will also refuse to work tonight.
The contract workers have decided to go on strike in protest at the attempt
by the CEO to suddenly reduce their working hours and, therefore, their
income. January is the month when poor families struggle to pay school fees
and to buy school uniforms, books and stationery. This is a very bad time
for people to suddenly lose most of their income.

This morning, the NERSA public hearing into ESKOM’s application for tariff increases got underway at Gallagher Estate in Midrand. Both Earthlife and the APF were present, having made written submissions and requests for presentations in opposition to ESKOM’s application. Not long after proceedings began, a small group of Earthlife activists silently placed several posters on the walls inside the venue. Almost immediately, Gallagher Estate’s private security personnel arrived and tore down all the posters, whilst forcibly escorting those activists identified as the ‘perpetrators’, outside the venue. They then locked the doors and when a larger group of APF activists arrived, refused them (alongside the Earthlife activists already outside) entry. ... read full story / add a comment

At 4pm today, 48 law enforcement officers from the City of Cape Town invaded the city's Temporary Relocation Area, Blikkiesdorp, and removed about 60 people from the one roomed dwellings. This was done completely unlawfully without any high court eviction order, without any explanation, and even more inexplicably by the same city officials who installed the people in the first place. ... read full story / add a comment |
