And we conclude a powerful March against the unplaced learners in the Western Cape Province. South Africa remember the faces of these young people. Like the court said @WCEDnews fix your admission policy now to avoid excluding more vulnerable learners. #sofundasonke

17 Nov 1989, 20-year-old MK commander Anton Fransch held off police, Casspirs and the Security Branch alone for nearly seven hours in Athlone. Surrounded, teargassed, shot at from every side, he kept firing back until a grenade ended the siege. The Battle of Athlone Remembered.

[Protest Action] 📍Church Square We are protesting for black learners in the Western Cape to be urgently placed in schools. It is disgrace that today on the 15th June 2026 we still have over 50 unplaced learners and their parents are with us today! #SofundaSonke

A huge congratulations to Mabusi Kgwete, a TB champion, on receiving an award for her abstract presentation at the #SATBConference2026. This recognition shows the power of community voices in shaping the #TB response and highlights the important role that TB champions play in sharing lived experiences, driving advocacy and influencing change. We are incredibly proud of Mabusi for representing communities affected by #TB and for ensuring that their experiences remain at the centre of conversations on research, policy and action. #EndTB @ConferenceTb @MRCza @HST_health @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL @CsfSanac @StopTBKe @TheUnion_TBLH @StopTB @TBProof @TBHIVCare

Eviction from farmland in the Western Cape is currently the number one type of case in the Land Court. They shot up significantly after the De Doorns farmworker uprisings of 2012/2013.
In 2012/3, farm workers fought a brave battle and won wages above R100 per day and other notable benefits. After the dust settled, the bosses waged a vicious fightback. Evictions, retrenchments, union bashing & aggressive use of casual, migrant labour. southafricanlabourbulletin.o…
