Agenda 20 - 26 April 2014

Keynote speaker, Susan Booysen, University of Witwatersrand. South Africans will go to the polls on 7 May in what promises to be the country’s most interesting election since 1994. There is no doubt that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) will win again, but the polls suggest a much reduced majority.  The performance of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a new radical-populist movement founded by youth leader Julius Malema after his expulsion from the ANC, will be keenly watched. Of particular interest are the prospects for a new party on the left and the ruptures within the Tripartite Alliance of the ANC with the trade union movement COSATU and the South African Communist Party. Registration strictly required. In cooperation with NIMD.
