Tendai Biti's Wolpe Lecture, 30 October
The Centre for Civil Society was joined by the Zimbabwe Solidarity Forum in hosting the Wolpe Lecture by Tendai Biti.
The Zimbabwean leader's talk, which explains this week's breakdown in Zanu(PF)/MDC negotiations and the need for international civil
society solidarity, was rebroadcast on 31 October by SW Radio Africa:
The full audio transcript, including
Bishop Rubin Phillip's solidarity speech
and a reportback by CCS staff from the Southern Africa Social Forum in Swaziland (held two weeks ago despite a banning order), can be found here:
