Tomorrow, Tuesday 21st Sept., will see the launch of a joint “Red October” and Socialist Forums campaign by the SACP and COSATU.

For the month of October, both organisations have committed themselves to give practical content to the campaign’s slogan – BUILD PEOPLE’S POWER! BUILD THE PARTY! - through an intensive recruitment campaign among urban and rural workers, the establishment of SACP units in industrial and rural areas and the establishment of joint SACP-COSATU socialist forums. This campaign will be undertaken through the spreading of the political and organisational programmes of both the SACP and COSATU, which will address specific issues including, the present job loss crisis and public sector wage dispute, macro-economic policy, education, HIV/AIDS, crime, women’s oppression and the role/character of the state.
