While I applaud Lloyd Cooke's proposals for a "Rainbow Coalition"
to defeat the BNP in the
forthcoming Mayoral Election, he doesn't give the whole picture

about South Africa. Despite the
end of Apartheid, the country continues to suffer from chronic
economic and social problems,
endemic corruption and entrenched class divisions.

All this is despite a history of worker's struggle in Southern Africa,
from rebellions of diamond
miners in the 1870's, to the first multi-ethnic and ,at the time,
revolutionary, party in S.Africa, the
ANC, in the 1950's to current struggles for housing and a universal
minimum wage today. In the
race for concilliation, these issues have been ignored, and at the
peril of the poor of South Africa
and the Stoke-on-Trent of the future.
