It follows a careful collective discussion process and research and comes several weeks after the last installment in a series of articles claiming to be an expose of Schmidt. As we are also committed to a number of ongoing workshops, activities and publications, our time was limited. It has two main aims: to outline our position on the claims made for, and against, Schmidt, and to respond to a number of false statements that have been made about the ZACF in the course of the developing Schmidt affair. The statement opens with an executive summary, followed by a much more extensive discussion. The statement was collectively crafted and issued by the ZACF: www.zabalaza.net Questions and requests for comment should be addressed to zacf@riseup.net with a clearly-identifiable subject line (Please note that we will not be responding to questions, queries or claims from people using pseudonyms or otherwise concealing their identities.

An African Working Class Perspective May 02 0 comments In South Africa, the black working class majority is gripped by the rough hands of its ruling class, made up of a cold combination of black state elites and white capitalist elites, who choke the very life out of her. blazing but blinded. In days like these it is important to remember our heroes, our champions of past years, to remember the stories of Ma Josie Mpama, who wanted nothing more, than to see the working class mature, to explode like landmines under the feet of the oppressive system that has spent centuries trampling over us. The other day, while deep in thought, I felt the room grow more still, filled with clarity. The voices of Lucy Parsons, Josie Mpama and other heroes pierced my very being. Their voices reminded me of the dream, the obtainable goal. To remember that we, the working class billions, can be more than what we are now, that we can awake, from our half-life, that we can be more than the shares and stocks that the system has nailed to our backs.

No Justice, No Peace: A Year of Struggle Dec 11 0 comments Welcome to the first double issue of Tokologo, combining issues 5 and 6. This marks our third year of publishing by the Tokologo African Anarchist Collective and its study circles. 2015 has been a turbulent year. On the one side, the horrors of attacks on immigrants and foreigners continue. In April, attacks broke out, mainly in KwaZulu-Natal, spurred directly by Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini's inflammatory statements. One of the big failures of the 1994 transition was that much of the old Bantustan/ homeland apparatus remained in place, with the continuing power of chiefs and kings. Again, in October, this time spurred by rumours and the taxi associations, there were riots in the Eastern Cape. Where to, South Africa? Aug 17 0 comments Editorial from issue number 14 of the Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front's journal, Zabalaza: A Journal of Southern African Revolutionary Anarchism. Zabalaza: A Voice for Organised Anarchism in South Africa Nov 06 0 comments The Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front, or ZACF – Zabalaza meaning ‘struggle’ in isiZulu and isiXhosa – is a specific anarchist political organisation based in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is a unitary organisation – or federation of individuals, as opposed to a federation of collectives – whereby membership is on an individual basis, by invitation only. This is because we have seen – through our own experience, as well as that of global anarchism historically – that we can accomplish more as an organisation, and be more effective, when our members share a certain level of theoretical and strategic unity, and collective responsibility.

Thanks. Link has been fixed.

Great! After this website, zabalaza.net is the one I use most. I especially like all the nice PDFs you've made, and I've read, printed and distributed quite a few, as well.
I always liked both the content and design of the site, but the structure (information architecture) was confusing - the new site fixed this in a nice way.
However, I just wanted to make one suggestion regarding the structure, which has still not been solved.
I think you should crosslink (link back and forth) from Zabalaza books "Download section" to the "Anarchist Theory" page in the Anarchist tradition, as well as the other way around.
Thanks anyway, for this great resource!
I have to agree with the previous poster. When I am downloading pdfs for distribution here at the ends of the Earth, Zabalaza is always the primary source. The Irish comrades are the second. Most every other anarchist site in the world requires wading through oceans of bullshit (both ideological and "production values" wise) to get to something valuable.
A few comments. I tried the "breaking news" links and it was a blank as the administrators were trying to eliminate the "huge volumes of spam". On my own blog (Molly's Blog) I haven't gone to any extremes to eliminate the spam. Little gets through, and what does is easily and pleasurably eliminated. My comrade Larry Gambone has suggested using "word verification" to eliminate the problem. If Zabalaza cannot solve the problem in another way then that may be an option. Computer generated spam generally doesn't respond to "word verification".
Also, I notice that the last issue of the Zabalaza journal listed on the website is dated April, 2005. Are the South African comrades still producing the printed journal ? Just a question.

Hi pat,
Just to let you know that the next issue of the journal is nearly done and should be out within a week or 2. I'm pretty sure it'll be posted up here on anarkismo when done.
Salut,

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the suggestion of crosslinking the ZB downloads page and the Anarchist Theory page. The links have been added.
For freedom,
G.
