Today, Friday 9th September marked the last day in the second Global Week of Action on Swaziland, culminating in a large protest march in Mbabane that has resulted in pitched battles between a heavily armed and aggressive security detachment, and mostly poor workers, students and the unemployed, who gathered legally and peacefully as they have done all week. ... read full story / add a comment

The Kennedy 12 have been acquitted of all the charges bought against them after the attack on our movement in September 2009. It is a great day for the 12, their families, our movement and the struggle of the poor in South Africa. ... 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

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

As the ever controversial Prime Minister of Swaziland, Sibusiso Dlamini, promised senate a few weeks ago, the state has already begun “talking” to the organisers of the much feared April 12 Swazi uprising. The National Organizing Secretary of SWAYOCO, Mcolisi Ngcamphalala, was detained and later tortured by the police from Tuesday evening in Siphofaneni on suspicion that he was one of the organizers of the April 12 Swazi Uprising.

The campaign around the Zimbabwe activists has borne some results. The good news is that yesterday 39 of the 45 activists had their charges dropped by the Magistrate court. The Magistrate judge (Mutevedzi) said the arrest of the 45 people was “a dragnet arrest by the police who didn’t verify or attach criminal conduct to each of the accused persons”. The judge also stated that there “glaring weaknesses” in the State case and that it wasn’t “clear what the rest of the accused persons did to deserve to be arrested and charged with treason”. ... read full story / add a comment

The rebellion of the poor has been spreading from town to town, from squatter camp to squatter camp, since 2004. Last week it arrived in Grahamstown. There is no third force, political party or communist academic behind our struggle. It is oppression at the hands of the African National Congress that has driven us into the rebellion of the poor. We are in rebellion because we are being forced to live without dignity, safety or hope. ... read full story / add a comment

The poor are steadily getting angrier and they are preparing for something. They have relatively little to lose, except the hope that drives their movements, informed predominantly by desire for justice for those who are systematically dehumanized in our country today. These movements include: Abahlali baseMjondolo (AbM), the Poor Peoples’ Alliance, the Landless Peoples’ Movement, the Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign, Mandela Park Backyarders and Sikhula Sonke. And, in my hometown— Grahamstown—the Unemployed Peoples’ Movement (UPM) and the Woman’s Social Forum (WSF) are represented. ... read full story / add a comment |
