Cosatu codemns interest rate freeze
The Congress of South African Trade Unions condemns in the strongest possible terms the incompetence displayed by the SARB and its undemocratically constituted Monetary Policy Committee in its decision to leave the repo rate unchanged in the face of an economic recession and massive job losses. The MPC has decided to put its head in the sand, and failed to respond to the crisis that is afflicting the South African economy. [Lire] COSATU - 26 June 2009 NERSA’s Ruling on Eskom Price Hike; Taxes for the Poor, Handouts for the Rich At twelve o’clock today in Pretoria, NERSA presented its ruling on Eskom’s application for a nominal 34% tariff increase to cover rising operational costs. Most importantly, NERSA ruled that 1) 31.3% average standard tariff increase for the next 9 months, including the 2 c/kWh environmental levy, 2) 15% increase to Eskom and municipal poor customers, 3) NERSA will investigate Eskom’s primary energy costs. [Lire] Earthlife Africa - 26 June 2009 Cosatu condemns electricity tariff increases The Congress of South African Trade Unions strongly condemns the 31.3% tariff increase granted to Eskom by the National Energy Regulator (Nersa) today, 25 June 2009. It is virtually the same as the 34% increase requested by Eskom and would appear to be a token gesture by Nersa to demonstrate its independence from Eskom. [Lire] COSATU - 25 June 2009 Le CADTM se réjouit de la décision de justice ouvrant la voie à un procès contre des transnationales complices de l’Apartheid en Afrique du Sud Le 8 avril, le Tribunal fédéral de New York a déclaré recevable l’action en justice intentée par des victimes de l’Apartheid contre cinq transnationales (IBM, Ford, General Motors, Daimler et Rheinmetall) pour complicité avec le régime sud-africain durant les années 1970 et 1980. Bien que le procès ne soit pas prévu avant 2011, cette décision de justice est d’ores et déjà historique. Elle constitue une avancée majeure vers l’application effective du droit international en reconnaissant le droit des victimes de l’Apartheid à poursuivre en justice les complices des violations de droits humains et à réclamer des réparations.

[Lire] Anti-Privatisation Forum - 26 February 2009 Resolution of the COSATU Central Executive Committee on the job-loss bloodbath arising from the global economic meltdown The CEC received reports and warmly endorsed the ’Framework for South Africa’s response to the international economic crisis’. The Nedlac constituent organisations in partnership with the Presidency, following the Presidential Economic Joint Working Group meeting held in December 2008 negotiated this framework. [Lire] COSATU - 25 February 2009 People’s Budget coalition response to the National Budget The Peoples Budget Coalition (PBC) is a civil society campaign that brings together COSATU, SANGOCO and the SACC around budget and development issues. 2009 marks the 10th Anniversary of the People’s Budget Coalition and its tireless call for better fiscal policies and development approaches that can improve the living conditions of all South Africans. [Lire] People’s Budget Coalition (PBC) - 10 February 2009 Victory for worker solidarity The Congress of South African Trade Union is pleased to announce that its members, dock workers belonging to the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU) achieved a victory last night when they stood firm by their decision not to offload the Johanna Russ, a ship that was carrying Israeli goods to South Africa. This, despite threats to COSATU members from sections of the pro-Israeli lobby, and despite severe provocation. [Lire] COSATU - 6 February 2009 Cosatu says interest rate cut is too small The Congress of South African Trade Unions is deeply disappointed that the Monetary Policy Committee of the Reserve Bank has yet again failed to meet the challenge of a looming recession and thousands of retrenchments, by only reducing the minimum lending rate by 100 base points (1%). [Lire] COSATU - 5 February 2009 New Rating System: The City of Johannesburg must get its house in order! The Coalition against Water Privatisation is not surprised to hear reports about the City of Johannesburg’s poor new rating system. Many of our organisations previously made submissions and raised concerns about the new system when it was first introduced in July last year. But, as always, the City went ahead without listening to the concerns of ordinary people and implemented the rating system willy nilly. [Lire] Anti-Privatisation Forum - 13 January 2009
Le « lumpen-radicalisme » du président Jacob Zuma
- 16 juillet 2009 - Par Achille Mbembe - « Un gouvernement pour tous les Sud-Africains. » C’est la promesse faite, après sa victoire électorale du 22 avril 2009, par le président Jacob Zuma. Personnage aussi charismatique qu’énigmatique, celui qui dirige désormais la première puissance économique du continent noir aura à affronter une société rongée par les inégalités et la criminalité. Il devra aussi répondre à la crise que traverse son parti, l’African National Congress (ANC), dont le prestige s’effiloche. - Source : Le Monde diplomatique
Nationaliser les mines en Afrique du Sud ?
- 13 juillet 2009 - La Ligue de la jeunesse de l’ANC a jeté un beau pavé dans la mare en demandant la nationalisation des ressources minérales en faisant référence à la Charte de la Liberté. Les réactions ont fusé dans tous les sens et le débat est largement ouvert dans le pays. - Source : Renapas
Colère et frustration dans les services publics sud-africains
- 22 mai 2009 - Le climat social est de plus en plus tendu dans les services publics. Après les grèves des médecins et infirmières, les enseignants, les policiers et autres travailleurs des services publics pourraient aussi se mettre en grève. Le Cosatu demande une réunion d’urgence avec les ministères concernés. - Source : Renapas
Afrique du Sud : croissance et emploi, la fin d’un conte de fée
- 12 décembre 2008 - Le rapport SWOP du département de sociologie du travail de l’université de Witwatersrand à Johannesburg vient de jeter un gros pavé dans la mare des illusions qui voulaient que la croissance soit la panacée à la création d’emplois et à la réduction de la pauvreté. Le rapport démontre qu’il n’en est rien, ni en Afrique du Sud, ni ailleurs dans le monde. - Source : Renapas
Southern African Social Forum Nearly Marred By Ban: Cosatu Not Allowed To Attend
- 18 octobre 2008 - By Faith ka-Manzi – “Destroy structures that give privileges to a few”, shouted Mr. Thomas Deve during the highly charged opening of the Southern African Social Forum (SASF) at the Bosco grounds in Manzini in the small Kingdom of Swaziland on October 16. He appealed to delegates of the forum - dubbed the ‘merchants of hope’ - not to be afraid to proclaim their struggles, and that “peoples forces will not be stopped by anyone”. Deve is a member of the Zimbabwe Social Forum. - Source : Centre for Civil Society
Protester dans l’Afrique du Sud post-apartheid
- septembre 2008 - par Jérôme Tournadre-Plancq - En 2004, l’Afrique du Sud a célébré ses dix ans de démocratie. Souvent érigé en modèle de transitologie, le cas sud-africain est moins associé, depuis quatre ou cinq ans, par ses observateurs à l’idée de « miracle », pourtant omniprésente dans les discours politiques et scientifiques de la fin des années 1990. Si la thèse de la « fragile stabilité » doit encore être vérifiée, force est de constater que la croissance économique et un rayonnement diplomatique dépassant le continent africain ne parviennent pas à faire oublier un taux de chômage touchant près d’un actif sur deux, la propagation du sida et la montée en puissance d’une économie informelle, source de précarité. En outre, la question sociale particulièrement complexe que l’on peut recomposer à partir de ces quelques éléments se confond, depuis le début du siècle, avec la réaffirmation d’une contestation sociale qui emprunte souvent le chemin de la violence protestataire. - Source : University of KwaZulu-Natal
Desperately Seeking Sanity: The Persistence of the Old Regime in Zimbabwe
- 22 July 2008 - By Brian Raftopoulos - After yet another contested general and presidential election on 2008, the Zimbabwe crisis persists with ever deepening symptoms of political and economic decline. Not unlike other elections in Africa, and most recently in Kenya at the end of 2007, the 2008 Zimbabwean elections, because of the serious deficiencies in the electoral system and the debilitating effects of widespread state-sponsored violence, have both aggravated the social tensions and exacerbated the fragility of the country’s political fabric. For the purpose of the elections, as elsewhere on the continent, was not to democratize political spaces but to construct and contrive a renewed ‘electoral legitimacy’ through the combination of violence and skewed electoral processes, for a regime that has come to depend increasingly on coercion and limited patronage for its survival. - Source : Amandla
Afrique du Sud : xénophobie, violence, pourquoi ?
- 24 mai 2008 - L’Afrique du Sud est sous le choc de la vague de violence qui a déferlé dans les townships, les condamnations de ces actes barbares fusent de toutes parts, les fantômes hideux du passé sont invoqués, mais au-delà de l’indignation et de l’émotion comment expliquer cette folie meurtrière ? Des analystes, des chercheurs et des dirigeants politiques donnent des pistes de réflexion. - Source : RENAPAS
ZUMA Victory a Call for the Left to Vuka
- 1er février 2008 - By Brian Ashley - An earthquake has hit the ANC. A new leadership has wiped out the Mbeki regime in the ANC leadership race. This is comparable to a landslide victory for an opposition party in a general election. Except in this case the opposition party was a broad coalition of disgruntled elements within the ANC. A period of political instability awaits. The ‘dreaded’ two centres of power has materialised and gives rise to a lame duck President. - Source : Amandla
South Africa in Zimbabwe: The Vultures have descended
- 4 October 2007 - By Shawn Hattingh - Periodically over the last seven years, the South African government has claimed to be on the verge of brokering a deal between ZANU-PF and the MDC that would secure Zimbabwe’s political future. During these fleeting moments, the hopes of millions of Zimbabweans have been raised; only to be repeatedly smashed. This is because at every critical point over the last seven years, when change seemed imminent in Zimbabwe, South Africa has backed and protected ZANU-PF. - Source : Centre for Civil Society
