Swaziland, COSATU, YCL and action

There has been too much today to send in a single post. The first was mainly dedicated to the Peace Pickets on Saturday. This one also announces important events. On Friday, March 17th, from 09h00 until 14h00 on the 10th Floor of COSATU House the Chris Hani Institute will be holding a Seminar on Swaziland involving the three main components of the Alliance plus the Swaziland Solidarity Network. See linked schedule (download). Nobody is satisfied with a toy telephone. COSATU is not satisfied with the Parliamentary Budget Committee consultations that take place after all the important decisions have been taken. See link. Hilary Ojukwu has sent a link to “Frontline Africa”, a general political site about Africa. This evening at 17h00 the YCL political school is meeting at SATAWU Offices, 13th Floor, Old Mutual Building, 29 Kerk Street, between Loveday and Harrison. The topic is the first three chapters of “State and Revolution”, by V I Lenin. Next week’s topic is Dialego’s (that is, John Hoffman’s) second part, on Dialectical Materialism. See link.
