THE 5th EDITION OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN SOCIAL FORUM 2009
Theme;
Southern Africa peoples Unity against Economic crisis and Oppression
Dear Friends;
Lesothowill be hosting the 5th edition of the Southern Africa Social Forum 2009 in Maseru, Lesotho from 6 - 9 October 2009.
This year’s SASF is expected to bring together thousands of participants from community-based groups, social movements and civil society organizations from SADC under the theme, ‘Southern Africapeoples Unity against Economic crisis and Oppression’
The Southern Africa Social Forum is a prelude to the African Social Forum (ASF) and World Social Forum (WSF) that take place annually. The first Southern African Social Forum was successfully held in 2003 Zambia, the 2nd edition was hosted by Zimbabwe, with the 3rd and 4th edition held in Malawi and Swaziland in 2006 and 2008 respectively.
The Social Forum is not an organization, not a united front platform, but "…an open meeting place for reflective thinking, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences and inter-linking for effective action, by groups and movements of civil society that are opposed to neo-liberalism and to domination of the world by capital and any form of imperialism, and are committed to building a society centered on the human person". (From the WSF Charter of Principles).

Well done Brenda for finally putting out this message about the forthcoming 5th SASF to be held in Maseru, Lesotho, 6-9 September 2009. Though it took me a while to find your blog!
The Zambian activists are now intensifying their preparations for SASF: e.g. the Venter Community held its Indaba on 19 September 2009 at which, besides discussion of their inputs into Chainda Ward 2010 Budget, they also discussed issues and experiences that their delegation should share at the Maseru-SASF. The Community is though still awaiting confirmation for sponsorship of at least three members from the solidarity fund of the Zambia Social Forum through Zambia Council for Social Development (ZCSD), Lusaka.
Please also share other local preparations taking place, e.g. the date of the 5th edition of national Zambia Social Forum; other organizations going to Maseru including the events that they will facilitate/host; and the modes of transport the delegates will use; etc.
Power to solidarity in activism!
