- Description
- It is one year since our last Central Committee.During this period much has happened on the international and domestic front. Yugoslavia remains at war, the United States of America has the first democratic President since Carter and millions of people are starving. It is not only in Somalia that people are starving.Right here at home over two million people are fed by poverty relief programmes. Although we thought that democracy was at hand, it has still eluded us in 1992. The Apartheid government still remains firmly entrenched although the negotiations with the African National Congress show some glimmer that the multilateral negotiations will resume shortly, the establishmant of a transitional government and the holding of the first non-racial national democratic elections by the end of 1993 or early 1994. With the violence still not under control we continue to see our people under siege, families broken up and property destroyed. For peace there must be democracy. Apartheid has left incalculable damage and a legacy that will have to be addressed. As the National Union of Mineworkers we have made and will have to continue to make many sacrifices. 1993 heralds important challenges for our union and the democratic movement as a whole. Central Committee will have to deliberate on these matters and decide the way forward for the coming months.
