03 November 2004
This coming Saturday, 6 November 2004 is the National Day of Action for Land, Bread and Work under the slogan: "Mawubuye Umhlaba" organised by the South African Communist Party (SACP).
We invite the media to attend the Communist Party's Press Conference to be held as follows:
This press conference will release the details of the 9 marches that will be held in all provinces of our country on Saturday, 6 November. The Communist Party will also use the Press Conference to release the full text of the demands to be delivered to Agri-SA and the Transvaal Agricultural Union through these 9 marches.
We are calling upon the millions of workers and the landless poor to join us on Saturday, as we table our demands to white commercial agriculture for accelerated land reform and a national land summit.
Over the last few weeks we have convened more than a hundred meetings, forums and tribunals to listen and act on some of the problems facing the rural poor of our country. We have protested together with families facing farm evictions, violent attacks from farmers, as well as compiling a comprehensive report on, amongst other things, the failure of the police and justice system in many rural areas to take action on violence against farmworkers. Our campaign has struck a chord with the mass of our people on the ground!
