southern africa / gender / non-anarchist press Friday March 12, 2010 18:34 byDale T. McKinley
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

The first week of March 2010 marks the International Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) which began in Toronto, Canada in 2005 and now includes a wide range of activities which differ from one country to another as, according to the international committee of the campaign, “An important aspect of IAW is that activists in each city decide what IAW should look like in their city”. 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

southern africa / community struggles / non-anarchist press Wednesday February 24, 2010 01:17 byAnti-Privatisation Forum
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
région sud de l'afrique / luttes dans la communauté / presse non anarchiste Monday February 15, 2010 17:30 by"Echanges" n°131
Le 26 septembre 2009, une bande de quarante hommes armés a attaqué le squat communautaire de Kennedy Road à Durban, la deuxième ville d’Afrique du Sud. Au cours de ces attaques, ils ont tué quatre personnes, déplacé plus d’un millier de résidents et mis le feu à des habitations. Menacés de mort, les membres dirigeants de l’organisation de squatters Abahlali baseMjondolo (AbM, littéralement « mouvement des squatters ») de Kennedy Road vivent dorénavant dans la clandestinité. read full story / add a comment
southern africa / miscellaneous / non-anarchist press Monday February 15, 2010 16:24 byRichard Pithouse
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

southern africa / miscellaneous / other libertarian press Friday February 05, 2010 18:25 byRichard Pithouse
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
southern africa / workplace struggles / other libertarian press Thursday February 04, 2010 13:43 byShawn Hattingh
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
