Macua joins the call to end corruption:
A MyJHB.co.za selected Mary Fitzgerald Square video for you:
Thousands of people gathered at Mary Fitzgerald Square in central Johannesburg ahead of a march against corruption organised by the National Union of Metal Workers South Africa (Numsa) on 14 October. Marchers also made their way to the Chamber of Mines, where they handed over a memorandum.
?ActionAid? South Africa’s partner – Mining Affected Communities United in Action (?MACUA)? were at the front line of the ?anti-corruption? march, which saw thousands taking to the streets of Joburg’s CBD, uniting against corruption and demanding justice and government accountability.??
Christopher Rutledge— AASA’s Mining and Extractives Coordinator explained that MACUA’s voice is crucial to challenge injustice in South Africa. “We think that their involvement in the march was important for the movement of mining affected communities to put their issues on the national agenda. We think it is critical to acknowledge the inextricable connection between institutional corruption and mining,” explained Rutledge.
ActionAid South Africa was established in May 2006 and is member of ActionAid International, a global movement of people working together to further human rights.
