We believe that the time is right to attempt to unite community organisations. We are therefore calling for the creation of a countrywide socialist civic federation and appealing to community organisations to begin working with each other toward that end. In this booklet we outline our analysis of the causes of the crises of poverty, unemployment, service delivery and crime that working class and poor communities face and a programme of action to address them.
The Ukraine war has entered a new and more dangerous phase, greatly adding to the instability of global capitalism.
The growing demand for working class unity took a step forward on the August 24 National Shutdown. Throughout the day “working class unity” was the one rallying call guaranteed to receive thunderous applause and deafening cheers. But workers will have to take matters into their own hands to ensure that August 24 is cemented as the opening act of a campaign of rolling mass action and to consolidate the important steps toward unity that have been taken.
The National Shutdown is potentially an important step forward for the working class. The Shutdown is acting as a lightening-rod for the anger across society at increasing prices, low wages, unemployment, cuts to services, crime, gender-based violence etc.

The note of optimism and determination of the declaration delegates issued at the end of Saftu’s Second Congress (23-26 May 2022) will be greeted with a sense both of relief and encouragement by Saftu members and the working class as a whole.
The temperature of the class struggle is rising. 2022 has already seen a whole number of strikes. Some have been brief skirmishes as workers test their strength against the bosses. The strike wave is posing afresh many of the tactical and strategic issues facing the workers movement. None more so than the strike in Sibanye-Stillwater’s gold mines which ended in an important victory.
