On this day, 5 October, the ANC honours freedom fighter and community leader Mbuyiseli Songelwa of Komani, Eastern Cape. A committed United Democratic Front (UDF) member, he was unjustly detained at Fort Glamorgan Prison for resisting apartheid tyranny. He died in police custody

Decades after the UN Charter aimed to prevent global chaos, conflicts and economic coercion reveal its limits. Multilateralism works—but only if nations put cooperation over self-interest. #UNCharter #GlobalPolitics #Multilateralism

Dimbaza’s factories lie in ruins, a ghost of its industrial past. Reviving its niche industries needs real plans and investment—not nostalgia. #SouthAfrica #Industry #Dimbaza

The consumer boycott that led to a he massacre in November 1985, started on 12 August 1985, and the people who were there, shared their recollections with us a few years ago. We remember their sacrifice. The People Shall Govern

The massacre, the horrific part of this episode, was preceded by deep civic organisation in response to the Koornhof Bills and consumer boycott (popular traditions prevalent in the 50s as well), Daniel Lolwana speaks to this and the evictions the people fought

@StatsSA But hey, I guess it’s an emerging and attractive ‘cop out’ for failure to absorb the work seekers we release into the job market every year; the same is happening in the US with the Bureau of Labour Statistics

No statistical agency is perfect but @StatsSA’s survey of the employed and self employed (with data from 2001) and the QLFS is the best data set and time series we have on employment, in line with ILO standards.

Eish, this misinformation around statistical agencies’ work is really pathetic. I’m shocked the JSE CEO has joined the clamour. She could have engaged @SGMaluleke on the methodology for the QLFS, she opts to join the clamour instead

A few years ago these farm dwellers who by then had created ‘villages’ following their evictions, then won a land restitution claim over some of this prime land … Here’s the case
