Cuba Solidarity Protest and A New Way of Financing Traditional Leadership
Sputnik Africa
On Nnete Fela we discuss Cuba Solidarity Now’s Bay of Pigs protest in Sandton challenging US foreign policy on Cuba, Iran and Palestine. We also explore how the Royal Authority for Commerce & Charters could improve investment into rural economies.
On this episode of Nnete Fela, we examine global solidarity politics and new models for local economic development. We begin with how Cuba Solidarity Now used the 65th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion to stage a protest outside the US Consulate in Sandton on 17 April. We discuss how activists connected that historic moment to present-day opposition to the US blockade on Cuba, growing pressure on Iran, and the war in Palestine, while calling for an end to interventionist foreign policy. Joining us is Professor Salim Vally who discusses the interconnectedness of global struggles against oppression.“I mean, the best way is to link our struggles. So, we are part of the Palestine Solidarity campaign, we have linked with the Cuba Solidarity Group. We have link with people from Congo who are fighting against the exploitation of their country […] we have strong links with the Palestinians, grassroots organizations, and we part of the global boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaign. We also link up with anti-racist organizations in the US, whether it's African-Americans or Latinx, and indigenous people throughout the world. So, this is our network, and this is our internationalism” Prof Vally saysWe also explore how the Royal Authority for Commerce & Charters (RACC) could help improve investment pathways into local rural economies. We discuss how the platform seeks to create a structured framework that helps rural projects meet governance and compliance standards, while opening clearer channels for businesses to participate in development initiatives led by traditional leadership. Joining us is Nicolaas van Wyk, CEO of the Chartered Institute for Business Accountants.To find out more, tune into this episode of the Nnete Fela Show.
