COSATU's 21st Anniversary

COSATU will be 21 years old on 1 December 2006. To celebrate this important anniversary we are holding a seminar on 7 December 2006. (It will not take place on the actual day of the anniversary, since COSATU will be joining government and civil society in mark World AIDS Day and do not want to detract from the importance of that day.)

The seminar will retrace the footsteps of COSATU over the past 21 years and critically assess its achievements, strengths, weaknesses and challenges and ask: Are we on track for the next 21 years?

Speakers who have been invited are:

COSATU General Secretary, Zwelinzima Vavi

ANC Secretary General, Kgalema Motlanthe
SACP General Secretary, Blade Nzimande
Director of NALEDI, Oupa Bodibe
Moeletsi Mbeki
Professor Steven Friedman
Dr Ashwin Desai
