Donald Trump’s American Empire is on the rampage. From Venezuela and Latin America to Africa, we have no choice: resistance to US imperialism is the only way to defend our national sovereignty, jobs and basic living conditions.
In SA, the first battle line is to overturn the October “guilty” verdict against EFF leader Julius Malema, which carries a possible 15-year prison sentence. Everyone knows that this pro-AfriForum ruling is not about Malema allegedly firing a gun into the air 7 years ago. It is the GNU’s attempt to appease Trump, who demanded Malema’s head from Ramaphosa & Co in the White House last May.
We cannot allow this! Whatever one may think of the EFF and its leader, this is an attack on every worker, leftist and liberation fighter. The EFF must not stand alone in fighting it. Trade unionists and all workers have a special interest in this struggle. Defending Malema is a first step in standing up against Trump’s imperialist tariff war, which threatens the livelihoods of workers in auto, agriculture and many other industries.
All out on January 23rd! Join the class-struggle contingent at the EFF protest in East London. Hands off Malema! An Injury to One is an Injury to All!
