South Africa strikes & marches against poverty. THE WORLD IGNORES THEM.

category international | worker & community struggles and protests | other press author Monday June 27, 2005 18:09author by ios Report this post to the editors

Today South African miners walked through cities in their thousands to call for an end to poverty and improved working conditions and health care and other sundry benefits and rights.

Though african, and reported in BBC, RTE etc., their action won't get squeezed into the telly reports this evening. Yesterday a few thousand assembled in Madrid to say "end poverty" europeans "on message" they got their publicity telly time.

Last week Glastonbury saw Mr Geldof say "end poverty" though it must be said, by supporting the Tony Blair & Gordon Brown geopolitical agenda.
The man has been twice sainted.

Meanwhile the British as part of their "remake the image of 3rd world poverty" are considering taking S. Africa off the G8 invite list, "coz the africans aren't hard enough on Zimbabwe"

For the record here are the reports on the South African workers strike.-

Zimbabwe and South Africa have been lumped together by the UK foreign office and Vauxhall.
And in the last run-up to the shamelessly publicity exercise G8, many are missing the geo-political game.

The UK are preparing to host the G8, lead the EU and see out the electoral term of Bush under Blair.

So the recent positioning of the Church of England is worthy of comment, as they slam Blair for continuing to return to migrants to Zimbabwe. By the way, Richard Mugabe is a devout cathurlick of the roman variety.
