A press conference of the Friends of Jacob Zuma Trust will take place this evening at 16h00 at the Booysens Hotel. The event formerly scheduled for Saturday will not now take place. Mobilisation will rather take place around JZ's court appearance at the High Court in Pritchard Street, Johannesburg on Monday. Khutsong, Moutse and Johannesburg are full of protest – see reports below. Ann Crotty’s article reminds us of the root cause of our problems, namely the machinations of monopoly capital. See below. It looks like things are hotting up. Let’s hope the old “combat team” of flying debaters will turn out for the SAIIA event (linked).
