This factsheet breaks down the @OECD compliant against #ApartheidsBanks by Open Secrets & @CALS_ZA and explains why it is important to hold them accountable for helping the apartheid government buy weapons illegally despite @UN sanctions. @Corruption_SA@r2kcampaign
The @mailandguardian article by @NaylorNikki highlights the unspoken injustices in the social justice sector. The reality is that the values espoused are often not lived. There is a toxic hyper-masculinity in govt, civil society, universities and in student movts. It must end.
The events on #Supersport highlight again the need to be having conversations about race. Our series of dialogues on race (https://t.co/cPYeXqK4FM) unearthed many more questions than answers, but until we have the courage to have those conversations we can never heal.
#SAA presentation before Parliament has been cancelled. It was a closed meeting over its financial results and turn around presentation. This is highly irregular. Now after MPs protested it’s been withdrawn. SAA CEO leaving the building @eNCA
Access to parliament is a fundamental right in a democracy. Section 59 of the Constitution guarantees this.
Closing the session on the SAA is a violation of this right. #opendemocracy
Comment from the floor: people need to be seen and to be heard. Without that they turn in on themselves and that in turn can result in violence.
We come from a history of violence. We need to work on learning what these triggers are and understand them.

Question from the floor: what is the character of the state? It is not the same state that was given birth to in 1994.
