It is not wishful thinking or hope against hope.

Not only does history teaches us that, but prevailing circumstances indicate that like a bennu bird (phoenix), the ANC, will overcome its much anticipated death.

Certain and true death is an eventuality, a reality reserved for the living things only.
The ANC as an organisation that was established as a result of a quest for survival of the down-trodded, has multiple opportunities to get back firmly on its feet.

This is because multitude of people still believe in it as the only capable and valid organisation that can accomplish their dream of a democratic and prosperous society.

It has a track record that no other party has!


Admittedly, the organisation is going through a difficult period – more difficult because of internal challenges that continue to weaken it.

There are also external forces of course that attempt to explain the ANC as irrelevant and a spent force.

These, try hard to place themselves in the leadership position that the ANC occupies.
Aware that they have little or no success to ascend the citadel of power, some work with the renegades within the organisation to weaken it.

These include people in the ANC who profit from pillaging of State resources and some facing possibility of a long time in jail.

There are many good and capable people in the ANC, too many to let it die.
The few that are on a mission to destroy it in the guise of fighting one or few individuals, will not succeed, because an individual or few of them do not make the ANC.

These individuals have adopted a strategy of making it difficult for the ANC to execute its constitutional mandate and its responsibility to drive the National Democratic Revolution fully.

This is often seen where groupings approach courts of law to knee-halter genuine processes for personal ambitions–based outcomes.
The abuse of constitutional rights and use of courts cannot be justified as instruments to remedy the obnoxious situation in the organisation.

It is therefore a mere pretext to approach the courts to stifle organisation’s activities.

Granted, some within the leadership of the organisation, at various levels are dubious and Johnny-come –late characters sesebediswa se hlahlobang lefu la tswekere bakeng sa e mong wa barutwana ba sekolo.

who are not steeped in the ANC values.

Some do not have loyalty in the ANC, but mere bounty hunters and treasurer seekers while others are fugitives of law.
Indeed, there are genuine concerns about the weaknesses of the ANC which impact negatively on its leadership in society, particularly within the government it leads.

It is the weakness the ANC acknowledges and is prepared to correct.

A road to success is not easy, but full of stumbling blocks, pretenders and turn-coats that stand in the way of prosperity.
Many of them have been revealed - like Nelson Mandela once remarked about anti revolutionaries while addressing a rally in Qwaqwa years back: “Sekgukguni se bonwa ke sebataladi!

There are good, loyal, committed and hard-working people in the ANC, that with the support of the masses will ignore the hullabaloo – drive the incomparable and clear agenda of transformation and democratisation.
There is an African saying the ANC has to adopt for it to succeed in redefining and building itself anew: “Monna ha a bone habedi”.

The ANC has seen its mistakes – it cannot dare to make these mistakes again!

All the pretenders and those driven by avarice within the ANC should be put aside lest they again hinder the progress.

/Chinese Foreign Ministry China is a country that walks the walk in climate response, highlighting that it has actively implemented the national climate change strategy and unswervingly pursued a green and low-carbon path of development that prioritizes ecological protection, he said.
Since China announced the ambitious goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, notable progress has been made in that direction, he added.

From 2012 to 2021, China supported an average annual billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per annum, making it the biggest of its kind in the world.

At the just concluded 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, important plans were laid out for fulfilling the dual carbon goals," the spokesperson said.
And China will continue to work with other parties to play an active role in global climate governance and jointly respond to the challenge of climate change.

"In particular, developing countries should deliver on their promise of mobilizing $100 billion per year for climate action in developing countries as soon as possible, offer a roadmap for doubling adaptation finance, and take credible steps to help developing countries improve climate resilience, enhance mutual trust between the North and the South and form greater synergy in actions," Zhao said.

"#$%&$'($)"*+** NEWS FROM PARLIAMENT PARLIAMENT RECEIVES PRESIDENT’S IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ON THE ZONDO COMMISSION REPORT CAPE TOWN stipulated by the Gauteng High Court.
From the six parts of the report released publicly over The Presiding Officers of Parliament, the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces, received President Cyril Ramaphosa's response to the recommendations of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture, Corruption and Fraud in the Public Sector, including Organs of State.
One of the historic moment in fighting corruption was the handing the final report of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture for further processes by the Executive In June, when the President submitted the final two parts of the report he also committed to submit the implementation plan on the recommendations to Parliament’s Presiding Officers within the deadline the last months, the Presiding Officers have gleaned that the Commission’s report contains a range of recommendations on how Parliament should improve oversight which includes the need to ensure adequate funding for Portfolio Committees; the need for a Parliamentary mechanism to track and monitor executive action; enhancing Parliaments role in key appointment processes; and developing specialised Committees to deal with issues that cut across Departments and Ministries, amongst others.
Parliament is committed to ensuring that it goes through the report with a fine-tooth comb and put in place the necessary mechanisms required to address the deficiencies identified by the Commission.

In addition to working on proper mechanism that will address the issues raised by the report of the Commission, the Presiding Officers have already referred certain matters requiring direct action by Parliament to parliamentary structures for processing.
With the submission of the implementation plan by the President, which outlines how the Executive will fulfil the remedial actions recommended by the Commission, Parliament will begin a process of scrutinising the details of the plan as well as overseeing, through its oversight instruments, its implementation.

The implementation plan will be brought to the attention of the Members of Parliament.
________________________ ISSUED BY THE PARLIAMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY PASSES THE ELECTORAL AMENDMENT BILL CAPE TOWN - The National Assembly (NA) has at its hybrid plenary sitting passed the Electoral Amendment Bill [B1B – 2022].
The Bill was warranted by the Constitutional Court judgement in the New Nation Movement NPC and Others vs President of the Republic of South Africa and Others case in June 2020 which ruled that the Electoral Act of 1998 was unconstitutional to the extent that it requires that adult citizens may be elected to the National Assembly and Provincial Legislation only through their membership of political parties.
The Bill is mostly aimed at, amongst others, inserting certain definitions that are deemed consequential to the expansion of the Act to include independent candidates as contesters to elections in the National Assembly and provincial legislatures.
It seeks to provide for the nomination of independent candidates to contest elections in the National Assembly or provincial legislatures and also provides for the requirements and qualifications that must be met by persons who wish to be registered as independent candidates.

The Electoral Amendment Bill was introduced to Parliament by the Minister of Home Affairs on 10 January and published for public comment on 21 January 2022 - with the closing date set for the 21st of February 2022.
The Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs, which was tasked with processing the Bill, received 107 written submissions and 13 oral submissions from individuals and organisations that included - One South Africa Movement, Africa School of Governance, Mr. Zolani Zonyani, Citizens Parliament, Outa, COSATU, Abatsha Force of Change, Independent Candidate Association, Inclusive Society Institute, 70s Group, New Nation Movement, Indigenous First Nation of South Africa and Council for the Advancement of South African Constitution.
As mandated by the Constitution, the Committee also conducted provincial public hearings in all nine (9) South African provinces from 7 – 23 March 2022 where a total of three thousand, four hundred and eighty-three (3 483) people attended the public hearings and six hundred and ten (610) made oral submissions, with three hundred and eighty-nine (389) supporting the Bill and two Hundred and twenty- two (222) rejecting the current format of the Bill.
However, due to the complexity of the Bill and including the demanding extensive public participation process the Committee foresaw that it was not going to meet the Constitutional Court deadline of 10 June 2022.

In this regard, prior to the expiry of the deadline – Parliament approached the Constitutional Court to request an extension period of six (6) months to finalise the Bill.

The Constitutional Court granted an extension until 10 December 2022 to complete the processing of the Bill.
In the further processing of the Bill, the Committee invited the Department of Home Affairs, the Electoral Commission and the Parliamentary Legal Service to comment on the report on public participation and therefore formed the basis of the Committee deliberations where it deliberated on the Bill on several occasions and held meetings during the Parliament’s Constituency period in June, July and October 2022.
The extended deliberations led to the Committee proposing additional amendments to other sections of the Electoral Act, 1998, which were not part of the Bill and proposed other material changes to various definitions and clauses in the Bill.

As a result, the Committee requested permission from the National Assembly to extend the scope of the Bill.

This, in terms of the National Assembly Rule 286(4)(b) and (4)(c).
The National Assembly granted permission on 1 September 2022 whereby on the second (2nd) September 2022, the Committee advertised these proposed amendments and called for public submissions two weeks later on the 16th September 2022 which was in order to ensure that members of the public have a chance to comment only on those proposed amendments to the Bill.
With reference to the renewed call for public comments, a total of two hundred and fifty-eight (258) submissions were received comprising two hundred and fifty- four (254) email submissions and three (3) hand-delivered submissions.
Also, thirteen (13) substantive submissions (emails) encompassing over hundr ed (100)pages of inputs were received that included three (3) physically hand- delivered submissions from “Civil Society” with a total of one thousand, two hundred and eighteen (1218) signatures from “Defend our Democracy” being supported by fifty-six (56) organisations and from DearSA providing a summary of its emailed submissions.

The Committee considered all the received submissions and respectively deliberated on them.
All these resulted in five (5) significant changes.

The Committee having reconsidered the amendments in the Electoral Amendment Bill, recommended that the House approves the Bill.

The Bill will now be sent to the National of Provinces for further consideration and concurrence.

36 FOCAL point Chronicle of a massacre foretold BY OYAMA MABANDLA Oyama Mabandla was a teenage revolutionary when he survived the December 1982 SADF raid on Maseru by a quirk of fate.

He wonders if the ANC, as it prepares for its conference 40 years later, has learnt one of the most important lessons of the raid: united it stands, divided it falls On December 9 1982, I should have died.
I was a bumptious teenager, suffused with revolutionary fervour and full of beans.

The surfeit of beans had led to a misunderstanding with Sis Limpho Hani, resulting in my departure from the apartment I occupied at Kuena Flats, just behind the Victoria Hotel in Maseru.

Sis Limpho held sway over the apartment, procured through the good offices of a friend of hers, a Lesotho national.
That was customary operating procedure, as most proprietors would not rent their properties to ANC exiles as they occasionally invited reprisals from the apartheid monstrosity.

This would prove to be my salvation as about six weeks after I left it would be one of the 12 ANC residences attacked on that December day in 1982, a Thursday.

The guy I shared the apartment with — Matikwane “Guinea” Seroto, who had, second to Chris Hani, been most responsible for my tutelage in revolution — was killed.
The boers would also mistakenly strike the next-door apartment to Sis Limpho’s, killing a Lesotho national, Matumo Ralebitso, the daughter of Lesotho’s then ambassador to Mozambique.

Through a cosmic quirk I avoided certain death that morning, a denouement entirely ascribable to the above-mentioned misunderstanding.
On the evening of December 8, ANC intelligence head in Lesotho Jeff Maqethuka told me I would be taking over the provision of security that evening for the exiled Thembu monarch, King Sabata Dalindyebo, from Gibson Njenje, who had arrived on or around that day with the king from Maputo.

Maqethuka intimated that he planned to take Njenje on a night out on the town.

Unhappily I obliged, miffed that Njenje was being feted while I was being dragooned for duty.
It is something Njenje and I still get a kick out of.

I headed over to the Lithabaneng neighbourhood where the king was ensconced — in a block of flats owned by the very ambassador to Mozambique whose daughter would be killed later that night.

The building was referred to as Ha-Ralebitso.

Just before 1am on December 9 a volley of guns, rocket- propelled grenades and other heavy armaments began their symphony of death.
We were accustomed to armed incursions in Maseru from the Lesotho Liberation Army (LLA), the military arm of the Basutoland Congress Party, which, supported by the boers, was conducting an insurgency against the government of prime minister Leabua Jonathan.

Five minutes later Sis Mpumi Setsubi, who lived in that apartment block, came over to inquire if we should evacuate.
A total of 17 ANC members and their families were living in the building, including Jerry Modisane, a lawyer and erstwhile president of the South African Student Organisation, and Girlie Pikoli and her daughter Zukiswa — who was about 12 months old at the time and is now a Daily Maverick writer.

I asked Setsubi to wait a bit as I was still evaluating the situation.
Three minutes later, as the sound of guns and helicopters intensified, it became clear that this was no run-of-the-mill LLA incursion and, accordingly, I issued the instruction for all 17 to evacuate to a mountainside nearby.

I then returned to my rampart outside in the dark.

At about 2.45am I spotted movement.

A mixture of fear and excitement gripped me.

This was every young revolutionary’s wet dream — an eye-for-an-eye and a tooth-for-a- tooth encounter.
But instead of an exchange of fire, someone shouted: “O seke oa rethunya (Don’t shoot us).” It was the guy I lived with, Raymond “Teboho” Maele from Bloemfontein, and Mzwakhe “Andile” Cikozani, from Qonce (then known as King William’s Town).

They could not see me in the dark but had imagined where I would be.

These two brothers had walked, leopard-crawled and done everything possible to come to our rescue, convinced we had come under attack.
It had taken them almost two hours to get to me, about 3km away.

Such was the intensity of boer traffic that night, helicopters with flashlights, roaring armoured trucks and the like.

They owned the night.

Maele and Cikozani would walk for only a few minutes and would be forced to take cover and crawl to avoid being detected.

But they had inched forward towards their imperilled comrades — cavalry to the rescue.

What those brothers did is inscribed in my soul for eternity.
It was the true meaning of comradeship.

The guns soon fell silent and we determined that the raid was over.

Together we retrieved the 17 souls from the mountainside, and along with an ex-Robben Islander, Ntate Maru, a tough old codger with a black belt in karate, set off to establish if we had in fact been the targets of the raid.

Our first stop was the apartment complex where the three of us lived.

Maele and Cikozani had left the place two hours before.

Could it have come under attack in that time?


ANC firebrand Tony Yengeni also lived there.

It was untouched.

We then made our way to Lower Thamae, where newly arrived comrades from home stayed in a place nicknamed Cuba.

There we were confronted with the gory confirmation that we had indeed been blitzed as we encountered 10 bodies lying all over each other, riddled with armour-piercing bullets.

It was a grisly spectacle.


These were a bunch of cheerful, hope-filled youngsters who had just escaped apartheid rule and were on their way to school at various locales around the world, and here they were, brutally exterminated.

We moved on.

From Qualing to Upper Thamae to Lower Seoli we encountered an orgy of death and destruction.

We proceeded to my old neighbourhood of Kuena flats, where we found my mentor, Guinea, lying dead on the forecourt.
Under overwhelming fire he had jumped from his apartment on the third floor, breaking his legs, whereupon he was shot dead as he lay immobilised.

I found myself muttering under my breath: “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”We also encountered death’s visitation to the flat next door to Sis Limpho’s.

By then, she and her three daughters, aged two, four and 10, had safely retreated.

Our next stop was Ha-Hohlo, where Mathabatha “Booker-T” Sexwale, Tokyo’s elder brother, lived with his family.
The place had been incinerated.

There was no possibility of any survivor.

We proceeded to the Florida neighbourhood, where the chief representative of the ANC in Lesotho, Zola Nqini, lived.

The horror of death once more greeted us, including of Nqini himself.

It was while we were there talking to the survivors that the governor of the Lesotho Reserve Bank, Hae Phofolo, dropped by to inform us that Booker-T and his family had made it and were safely at his place.
Booker-T was one of the few who were fortunate to be armed that day and had fought valiantly, breaching the boer encirclement of his home and leading his family to safety.

His daughter, the media personality Kay, only eight years old at the time, sustained wounds requiring treatment.

South Africa will lead the BRICS countries as the Chair next year, 2023.

South Africa takes over from China to chair BRICS.

All member states Brazil, Russia, India and China have shown their full support to South Africa in becoming the Chair.
The member states have shown confidence in South Africa’s ability to host BRICS’15th summit next year where issues of global importance will be discussed; within the context of implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in its three spheres - economic, social and environmental.

BRICS is the acronym coined to associate five major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Since 2009, the governments of the BRICS states have met annually at formal summits.
BRICS host New Development Bank, Contingent Reserve Arrangement, BRICS payment system, and BRICS basket reserve currency officially announced in 2022.

The BRICS have a combined area of 39,746,220 km2 and an estimated total population of about 3.21 billion, or about 26.7% of the world land surface and 41.5% of the world population.

Brazil, Russia, India, and China are among the world's ten largest countries by population, by area and GDP.
Members of G20, as of 2022, these five states had a combined nominal GDP of US$26.6 trillion, about 26.2% of the gross world product, a combined GDP (PPP) of around US$51.99 trillion (32.1% of the world's GDP PPP), and an estimated US$4.46 trillion in combined foreign reserves (as of 2018).

Bilateral relations among BRICS states are conducted mainly based on non-interference, equality, and mutual benefit.
The BRIC grouping's 1st formal summit, also held in Yekaterinburg, commenced on 16 June 2009, with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Dmitry Medvedev, Manmohan Singh, and Hu Jintao, the respective leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, all attending.
The summit's focus was on improving the global economic situation and reforming financial institutions, and discussed how the four countries could better co-operate in the future There was further discussion of ways that developing countries, such as 3/4 of the BRIC members, could become more involved in global affairs.

In the aftermath of the Yekaterinburg summit, the BRIC nations announced the need for a new global reserve currency, which would have to be "diverse, stable and predictable.
Although the statement that was released did not directly criticise the perceived "dominance" of the US dollar – something that Russia had criticised in the past – it did spark a fall in the value of the dollar against other major currencies.

The New Development Bank (NDB), formally referred to as the BRICS Development Bank, is a multilateral development bank operated by the five BRICS states.
The bank's primary focus of lending will be infrastructure projects with authorised lending of up to $34 billion annually.

South Africa will be the African Headquarters of the Bank named the "New Development Bank Africa Regional Centre.

The bank will have starting capital of $50 billion, with wealth increased to $100 billion over time.

Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa will initially contribute $10 billion each to bring the total to $50 billion.
It has so far 53 projects under way worth around $15 billion.

Recently Bangladesh, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Uruguay were added as new members of BRICS New Development Bank (NDB).

In 2010, South Africa began efforts to join the BRIC grouping, and the process for its formal admission began in August of that year.

South Africa officially became a member nation on 24 December 2010, after being formally invited by China to join and subsequently accepted by other BRIC countries.
The group was renamed BRICS – with the "S" standing for South Africa – to reflect the group's expanded membership.

In April 2011, the then President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, attended the 2011 BRICS summit in Sanya, China, as a full member.

Since South Africa joined the BRIC grouping (now BRICS) in 2010, numerous other countries have expressed interest in joining the bloc, including Argentina and Iran.
Relations between Iran, China and Russia have warmed in recent months as all three governments seek new allies against increasing Western opposition.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt also expressed their interest in joining BRICS, but have not yet submitted formal requests.

There is no formal application process as such to join BRICS, but any hopeful government must receive unanimous backing from all existing BRICS members: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, to receive an invitation.

36 rise can still be affected by the world’s actions.
Massive global crop failures are to be expected.

Climate refugees will be in the hundreds of millions.

All of this is further complicated by the fact that climate change is not the only planetary boundary that capitalism is currently crossing or threatening to transgress.
Others include: the loss of biological diversity, ocean acidification, disruption of the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, loss of ground cover (including forests), loss of freshwater resources, chemical pollution, and radioactive contamination.

Hitherto, the ecological strategy with respect to climate change has focused almost entirely on mitigation, aimed at stopping greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon emissions, before it is too late.
Yet, this general approach has too often been rooted in a type of reformist environmentalism that does not seriously challenge the parameters of the present system, allowing the ecological crisis to deepen and expand.

The more revolutionary approach to mitigation is necessary to play the leading role in any global climate strategy, since it is essential for the continuation of civilisation and survival of the human species.
Only the end of capitalism’s relentless pursuit of private profit, endless waste, and rapacious drive for growth, can provide the basis for a solution not only to climate change, environmental degradation, and mass extinction, but to global poverty, hunger, and super exploitation.

Twenty six sessions of UN Conference of Parties have failed to address climate disasters and there is no indication that COP 27will be different.
It is clear that there will never be a move to a viable climate stabilisation by relying on the words or pledges agreed to in any diplomatic documents.

The only way to move seriously onto a viable climate stabilisation path is through grassroots political organising that forces governments to take actions that they will otherwise never take.

“ Zubeida Jaffer UN CONFERENCE OF PARTIES (COP 27) By Dr Lehlohonolo Kennedy Mahlatsi Most member states of the United Nations (UN) are gathering in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El Sheikh for the annual UN Climate Change Conference.

This is the 27th Conference of the Parties to assess the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, commonly known as COP 27.
This is amid a call by human rights organisations on the Egyptian government to release some 60,000 political prisoners who are kept in dire conditions, are systematically tortured and denied adequate medical care.

The petition is also calling on the government to unblock media websites and allow civil society to take part in COP27 without fear of reprisal.

Since May 2017 the Egyptian government has blocked at least 600 websites in violation of the right to access information.
Thirteen winners of the Nobel Prize for literature- (Svetlana Alexievich, JM Coetzee, Annie Ernaux, Louise Glück, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Kazuo Ishiguro, Elfriede Jelinek, Mario Vargas Llosa, Patrick Modiano, Herta Müller, Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka and Olga Tokarczuk) – and two science laureates (Roger Penrose and George Smith) have also written to world leaders urging them to discuss the plight of political prisoners in Egypt.
In their plea they submitted that: “We… write to urge you to devote part of your agenda to the many thousands of political prisoners held in Egypt’s prisons - most urgently, the Egyptian-British writer and philosopher, Alaa Abd el-Fattah, now six months into a hunger strike and at risk of death,” The international environmental treaty was established in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, with the first conference held in Berlin in 1995; the agreements were extended in the Kyoto Protocol of 2005 and supplemented by the Paris Agreement of 2015.
The World Bank estimates that, if left unchecked, climate change will condemn 132 million more people into poverty over the next decade, while displacing more than 216 million from their homes and land by 2050.

The move away from carbon-based fuel has been stalled by three main impediments: Right-wing forces which deny the existence of climate change.

Sections of the energy industry which have a vested interest in the continuation of carbon-based fuel.
Western countries’ refusal to admit that they remain principally responsible for the problem and to commit to repaying their climate debt by financing the energy transition in developing countries whose wealth they continue to siphon off.

Meanwhile, far too many loopholes open to abuse remain, undermining efforts to reduce emissions.

Further, no commitment to end fossil fuel subsidies globally was forthcoming.
Nevertheless, governments are still approving such projects, typically involving transnational corporate giants.

The COP 26 outcome did not include any commitment to fully phase out oil and gas.

Meanwhile, the language on coal has been diluted to become virtually toothless: coal-powered plants will now be ‘phased down’, instead of ‘phased out’.
A United Nations report published in October ahead of COP27 warns that planetary heating could reach a catastrophic 2.9 C by the end of the century without immediate action from the world’s largest polluters to dramatically rein in carbon emissions and transition away from fossil fuels.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) concluded in the 2018 report, and emphasised even more emphatically in its 2022 studies, that stabilising the global climate at 1.5 degrees Celsius (1.5°C) above pre-industrial average temperature levels is imperative for having any chance of reducing significantly, much less preventing the dangerous and widespread disruption in nature affecting the lives of billions of people around the world.
Western countries have benefited inordinately from both colonialism and carbon fuel to attain their level of development.

Carbon-fuelled capitalism, enriched by the wealth stolen through colonialism, has enabled the countries of Europe and North America to enhance the well-being of their populations and attain their relatively advanced level of development.
The extreme inequalities between the standard of living for the average European (748 million people) and the average Indian (1.4 billion people) is seven times greater than it was a century ago.

Though the reliance by China, India, and other developing countries on carbon, particularly coal, has risen to a high level, their per capita emissions continue to remain far below those of the United States, whose per capita emissions are close to twice that of China’s and eight times more than India’s.
The lack of acknowledgment of climate imperialism leads to a failure to properly resource the Green Climate Fund, which was created in 2010 at COP 16 with the aim of helping developing countries ‘leapfrog’ carbon-fuelled social development.

Vulnerable and poor nations have argued for decades that rich countries owe them compensation for irreversible damage from global warming.

In fact, no UN climate conference has delivered any funding for losses and damages to countries affected.
Poorer countries–who have contributed least to cumulative greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions–continue to suffer most.

To address climate injustice, rich countries–most responsible for GHG emissions and global warming– must do much more.

Capitalism will not and cannot prevent climate disaster.

Those who devour the world’s resources must reduce their consumption.

Two billion people have no access to clean water, while half the world’s population does not have access to adequate health care.
Their social development must be guaranteed, but this development must be built on a sustainable, socialist foundation.

The climate crisis is the result of a long process of economic expansion and its environmental impacts.

Under capitalism, nature is treated as a source for resources – even its protection must be legitimised by profit or correspond with the interests of capital.
It is not surprising that many ‘carbon offset’ initiatives serve a function in the financial market and can be used to justify emissions in another area.

While public funds can help preserve biomes, the market insists on promoting solutions that make the state a partner of business, the stock market, and the credit and lending systems.

Therefore, capitalist ecology is a false as it fails to identify the root cause of the climate and ecological crisis.
The development of renewable energy under corporate control replicates the processes of the private appropriation of natural resources and the resulting dispossession, environmental degradation, and dependency without effectively securing the energy transition.

The decades immediately ahead will therefore see the proliferation of extreme weather events that will compound one another: heavy precipitation, mega storms, floods, heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and failing monsoons.
Sea-level rise will continue throughout this century and beyond, regardless of the actions taken by humanity—though the rate of sea-level Entire world votes 185 to 2 against US blockade of Cuba For the 30th year in a row, almost every country on Earth voted at the United Nations to oppose the six-decade U.S. blockade of Cuba.

On November 3, the UN General Assembly voted an overwhelming 185 to two to condemn Washington’s suffocating embargo on Cuba.
The only countries that supported the illegal blockade were the United States itself and the Israeli apartheid regime.

(Di tswela pele) PAP DELEGATION CALLS FOR AFRICA’S YOUTH TO STUDY AGRICULTURE TO ENSURE FOOD SECURITY Midrand, Gauteng - Parliament’s delegates to the Pan-African Parliament(PAP) have urged their counterparts to encourage and support young people to study agriculture and food production to ensure food security in the continent.
The delegation was speaking during the debate on the report of the PAP Committee on Rural Economy, Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources held under the African Union theme for 2022 titled, “Strengthening nutritional resilience and food security on the African continent: strengthening Agri-food, health and social protection systems for the acceleration of the development of human, social and economic.” In its report the Committee recommended that, amongst others, African Parliamentarians should play a critical role in advocating and lobbying for enabling laws and policies that promote the agenda of food and nutrition security at national, regional and continental level.
Prof Mathole Motshekga, a member of Parliament’s multiparty delegation to the PAP, said the debate and the AU theme for 2022 calls on Member States to build resilience in nutrition on the continent and to accelerate human, social and economic development.
“The theme has come at a time when Africans were reawakened to the fact that the continent was not only the cradle of humanity, the Arts, Sciences and Philosophy but was also the breadbasket of the world.” He said because Africa is a youthful continent “the African youth are now wondering why Africa is underdeveloped and suffering from extreme poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition and stunting which is the greatest impediment to human, social and economic development.” Chief Whip of the majority Party in the National Assembly, Ms Pemmy Majodina, told the session that the provision of food security to citizens is one of the most important responsibilities each Member State has to its citizens.
“Food security is a basic human right, and therefore any government that fails to cater and provide the basic needs to its citizens is likely to face instability, threats and challenges of legitimacy because a hungry stomach cannot listen to anything, so we have a responsibility of ensuring that we stop being beggars where we import and export everything as an African continent.
We have a responsibility to feed our people,” said Ms Majodina, who was elected the Chairperson of the PAP Southern Caucus in July 2022.

Some of the mechanisms that she suggested be put in place includes paying graduates competitive salaries to ensure that they remained in the continent - thereby preventing a brain drain.
She also called upon MPs to ensure that their countries take advantage of the Africa Continental Free Trade Areas (AfCFTA) to trade with each other and encourage intra Africa investment in agriculture.

“It is important that we must stop outsourcing our land as Africa, we have outsourced the land to people who are outside the continent and they produce food and sell that food to us, is that what we want to be as Africans,” said Ms Majodina.
Other recommendations of the Committee includes that the Member States should endeavour to develop programme as “each and every school gets two meals per day, at times that is the only meal that the children can get….” The PAP already has a blueprint in the form of a Model Law on Food and Nutrition Security in Africa which envisages to make a significant contribution to improving food security and nutrition in the continent, and to complement other African Union and regional efforts.
The Model Law, once adopted by the AU and the Member States, stands to be a useful tool to influence national policies and legislations to be nutrition sensitive.

The debate was part of activities scheduled during the First Ordinary Session of the PAP’s sixth Parliament, that happened in Midrand in November 2022.
The programme also focused on a high level parliamentary dialogue on democracy, human rights and governance in Africa under the theme: Agricultural production is central to young people’s livelihoods.

Ms Majodina told the session that South was a step ahead on the school nutrition “Unconstitutional changes in government and political transitions in Africa.” EDITED - ISSUED BY THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMUNICATION SERVICES ON BEHALF OF THE DELEGATION TO THE PAN AFRICAN PARLIAMENT Issued and published by: ANC Parliamentary Constituency Ofﬁce, Room18, 155 AB, Hospital Road, Mangaung Municipality Ofﬁces, Botshabelo 9781 Tel.
