ANC KZN supports Magashule’s call for solidarity against job losses and GBV

The African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal has said that it supports the call made by the party’s secretary-general Ace Magashule for solidarity against job losses amid Covid-19 as well as gender-based violence.on Sunday, Magashule said the ANC “is painfully aware of the deepening challenges of poverty, inequality, unemployment, racism and gender-based violence”, in particular, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The party’s secretary-general said the ANC was “fundamentally opposed to the exploitative and heartless capitalist logic” which places profits above people and opts to cut jobs. Magashule said the ANC joined the South African Communist Party in its call for unity among all workers to resist retrenchments and for all trade unions to set aside their differences and unite against a jobs bloodbath.

“We are calling upon men and boys and all South Africans to heed this call of ensuring that we protect and we defend our girls, our women. And the ANC calls upon all men and boys to stand up against any form of gender-based violence and to make their voice heard loud and clear in opposition to the abuse of women and children,” Magashule read.
