Støttecafé for livvagter til aktivister i Pondoland

(ENGLISH BELOW)

Kom til støttecafé til AK's fredagsbar og hør mere om om Amadiba Crisis Committee, der kæmper imod et internationalt mineselskab med livet som indsats! Nonhle Mbuthuma, en aktivist fra Amadiba Crisis Committee, er døgnet rundt i fare for at blive myrdet af lejemordere på grund af hendes forsvar af hendes folks land. Indtil videre er hun og den anden leder af ACC blevet beskyttet af livvagter, men fra slutningen af September løber de tør for penge til livvagterne.

”This struggle is very expensive. Because the life of a person, there is no spare. Once it's gone, it's gone. But in matters like this, it doesn't mean that you can give up. I'm on the hitlist, I can be killed any time any day, and I don't know - and I don't care. As long as I die for the right thing,” sagde Nonhle, da hun mødte AK's aktivister for et par uger siden.

De vil over en øl fortælle mere om, hvordan vi kan sørge for, at Nonhle får lov til at leve videre og fortsætte hendes vigtige kamp. Der vil blive vist en kort film og der vil være en lille auktion til fordel for indsamlingen til livvagter - hvilket overskuddet fra baren også vil gå til.

Kom og støt op om en af de sejeste aktivister vi nogensinde har mødt, i en vigtig kamp for lokalsamfundets ret til deres egen jord og deres eget livsgrundlag, imod australske mineselskaber og korrupte embedsmænd!
