NALSU was proud to host a launch of “Ndivhuwo: Journal for Intellectual Engagement," published by Mzwanele Mayekiso. "Ndivhuwo" is geared to attract thought leaders in South Africa, from key policy-makers in government and industry, to leaders in civil society and intellectuals in academia and society. It aims to preserve our heritage and build our democracy. The launch event partnered NALSU and the iKwezi Institute for Research and Development, set up to enhance intellectual engagement on South Africa’s democracy and development.
The first issue includes articles by Ross Anthony, Nicacias Achu Check, George Bizos, John Gribble, Shawn Hattingh, Paul Hendler, Brian Kantor, Garth Klein, David Makhura, Nobantu Mayekiso, Lumkile Mondi, Philani Mthembu, Tebogo Phadu, Mzukisi Qobo, Arumugam Pillay, John Stremlau, Tseliso Thipanyane, and Lucien van der Walt.
A prolific writer and leading black intellectual, Mayekiso was a leading anti-apartheid activist and treason trialist from Alexandra township, and is author of “Township Politics: Civic Struggles for a New South Africa” (Monthly Review Press, 1996), and co-editor of “Confronting Fragmentation: Housing and Urban Development in a Democratising Society” (with Philip Harrison and Marie Hutchzermeyer, UCT Press, 2004). He has contributed papers and think-pieces for academic journals and newspapers, both locally and internationally. He is the owner and publisher of "Ndivhuwo" and CEO of the iKwezi Institute for Research and Development, Johannesburg.
The event was originally held on 17 February 2016 at Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网, Makhanda. The Labour Studies Podcasts are from our popular Labour Studies Seminar Series, launched in 2015. We cover "labour studies" in the broadest sense: labour and left history, policy and political economy, unions and popular struggles. NALSU, based in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, is engaged in policy, research and workers' education. Built around a vibrant team from disciplines including Economics, History and Sociology, it has active partnerships and relations with a range of advocacy, labour and research organisations. It draws strength from its location in a province where the legacy of apartheid and the cheap labour system, and the contradictions of the post-apartheid state, are keenly felt. We are named in honour of Dr Neil Hudson Aggett, a union organiser and medical doctor who died in 1982 in an apartheid jail after enduring brutality and torture. /nalsu/
