Chris Hani Month

The latest Umsebenzi Online is out – see link below. It centres round Chris Hani Month, and SACP GS Dr Blade Nzimande’s recent visit to Lusaka, Zambia. In between Zambia and South Africa is Zimbabwe. Sokwanele is a shrewd Zimbabwean political web site (with en-suite blog) that promotes a creed of non-violence. Their report on the two rival MDC congresses is detailed, informative and well written. See link. There is more “content” than the CU can deal with these days. Therefore strict rules apply. This means selecting the best educational items, with an eye to organisation and mobilisation. What better way to illustrate these could there be than to see what an SACP Province (Northern Cape) is doing for Chris Hani Month, and how an SACP Branch (Mamelodi) arranges its AGM? See linked items. By link only, here also is an invitation from the Communist University’s weekly host Constitution Hill to a liberal event dedicated to eclecticism in the press, called Inside Out, with Denis Beckett and six other worthies. Seven speakers starting at 18h30 would appear likely to leave very little opportunity for dialogue from the floor. So this one’s for mute fans of the supposed great and good.
