DESCRIPTION:Come hear a presentation by Thami Ka Plaatjie, former Secretary General of 
 the Pan Africanist Congress and acting Secretary General of the South 
 African Reparations Movement speaking on the worsening conditions for 
 African people in his country:\n·\nAccording to official statistics, the 
 poverty of the African masses in South Africa (Azania) has increased by 19% 
 and the wealth of whites has increased by 15 % over the last five years. 
 \n·	14% of African people own land in South Africa, land that own is 
 inhospitable while 86% of all arable land in South Africa is still firmly 
 in the hands of whites.\n·	25% of African people in South Africa are 
 living in squatter camps with no running water or toilets and 32% of people 
 in South Africa are unemployed.  \n·	25% of African people in South Africa 
 are infected with HIV/AIDS. Of the 10,000 African youths who are released 
 from prison monthly, nearly 40% of them come out HIV positive. \n\n	With 
 this terrible reality for African people in South Africa (Azania), Ka 
 Plaatje asks, “Where is President Mbeki’s promise of ‘a better life 
 for all’?”	\n	\nThami Ka Plaatjie has a long history of involvement and 
 leadership in the African freedom movement. From 2000 – 2003 Thami Ka 
 Plaatjie was the elected National Secretary General of the Pan Africanist 
 Congress, one of the organizations recognized with United Nations NGO 
 status in the movement against apartheid in South Africa. He founded the 
 Pan Africanist Student Organization in 1980 and he also served in the labor 
 desk of NACTU, the second largest Trade Union in South Africa.\n\n
