 Empowering the Peoples' Agriculture:   South Africa's Landless People's 
 Movement  New College of California School of Law  50 Fell Street (near 
 Civic Center BART), San Francisco     Mangaliso Kubheka, National Organizer 
 of the Landless People's Movement of South Africa, organizes to create food 
 systems that meet human needs. Mr. Kubheka joins farmers around the world 
 struggling for access to land, and demanding that the WTO (World Trade 
 Organization) cease negotiations on agriculture. Food First and Via 
 Campesina are proud to bring Mangaliso Kubheka to the United States. This 
 event is sponsored by Food First, New College of California School of Law, 
 New College Center for Education & Social Action, and Global Exchange.     
 Amandla! With his deep baritone shouts of power! in Zulu, Kubekha and 
 millions of other South African activists successfully ended the apartheid 
 regime and brought the African National Congress to power in 1994. "We must 
 remind the government what they stand for, since we put them where they 
 are," Kubekha states. One of the policies of the former apartheid regime 
 was to force Black South Africans to leave their land and property to 
 relocate to other parts of the country. South Africa's post-apartheid 
 government committed to redistributing land to Black African farmers, and 
 the Landless People's Movement of South Africa engages in creative 
 nonviolent organizing to pressure the government to meet these commitments. 
   South Africa's Landless Peoples Movement is a member of Via Campesina, a 
 global network of small-scale farmers which develops and promotes the 
 concept of Food Sovereignty. Food Sovereignty is the right of peoples to 
 define their own food and agriculture, including the right to protect and 
 regulate domestic agricultural production and trade.   Free admission. 
 Donations gratefully accepted.  For event information, contact Kirsten
