Adèle Kirsten, Local Government Action, and Tshepo Madlingozi, Khulumani Support Group talk about the massacre of Marikana, their ambivalent relationship to the ANC, white capital and social movements in today’s South Africa.

Khulumani Voices, a blog by Khulumani Interactors, has featured a story, How will young men and women get respect if they have no "paper cattle"? about the intractable challenges facing young people in their struggle to access the right to establish and live together as a family.
