 EFF ATTACKS ON MK A DESPERATE MEDIA ATTENTION STUNT!. Last week Sunday we were woken up the news and a video of one Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi an Economic Freedom Fighters(EFF) leader and a Member of Parliament attacking President Jacob Zuma. This shocked and angered many within the Black progressive camp, the shock and anger was informed by the fact that the Economic Freedom Fighters which is the third largest political party in South Africa and has been selling itself as a vehicle for carrying the hopes and inspirations of the downtrodden masses(Black people) is now working hand in glove with the White Monopoly Capital in dismantling any attempts at uniting Black people. President Jacob Zuma with his establishment of the UMkhonto WeSizwe Political Party has effectively provided all Black progressive formations with a platform to unite and work on a minimum program for the total liberation of the Natives as the 1994 dispensation has dismally failed to do. What makes Jacob Zuma a

 MK,ANC,EFF,PAC,ATM,AZAPO COALITION IS THE SAFEST BET FOR BLACK PEOPLE! What is increasingly becoming clear it is that no political party will amass enough share of votes to attain the 50 plus percent needed to establish a government on its own. This is informed by different polls which have placed the governing African National Congress into the mid 40s at best interms of percentages . This simply means that South Africa is poised for a Coalition government at the National level and some few provinces such as Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape. The previously mentioned provinces are governed by the African National Congress and the Democratic Alliance(Western Cape). In Gauteng the ANC scrapped through in the last Provincial elections to be able to govern that province, this is a province which is an economic hub not just of the country but for the continent. KwaZulu Natal is currently under the leadership of the ANC, however, the dynamics have shifted quite strong

 NEWSROOM AFRIKA 405 ANOTHER MOUTHPIECE OF THE WHITE MONOPOLY CAPITAL! The first of May this year marked the 5th Anniversary of the existence of the Newsroom Afrika 405 which came into air on the 1st of May 2019. The channel came as a replacement for the popular and progressive ANN7 which had occupied a very important space as an alternative voice from the white owned and controlled news channels such as ENCA. South African news space especially the 24hour channels is known to be dominated by ENCA and the SABC News which is a public broadcaster . The emergence of the ANN7 News Channel in 2013 was warmly received as it presented a possibility of having an alternative voice, a voice which is not dictated to by the selfish and narrow interests of the White Monopoly Capital. For the first time there existed a voice and a platform to counter the dominant narrative peddled by the White Monopoly Capital. Media Freedom is sinquanon to the prosperity of any country. The ANN7 was qui

ARE TRADE UNIONS STILL RELEVANT?.

      ARE TRADE UNIONS STILL RELEVANT?  Like many countries across the globe South Africa is celebrating the International Workers Day, this day is popularly known as MAYDAY. It is a day which has been set aside as a Public Holiday aimed at celebrating workers and their contribution in building the global economy. It is also a day where workers take stock of the progress made in their pursuit of their struggle in advancing and defending their interests, but not just the interests of those employed but the interests of the entire working class. South Africa is no different in this sense, although the South African situation has its unique features such as the dominant workers federation(Congress of South African Trade Unions) Cosatu being in bed(alliance) with the governing African National Congress(ANC). This is a unique situation because the ANC by virtue of being the governing party is an employer, the biggest employer. Therein emerges one of the contradictions which led
