The event will be held on Sunday, June 30, 2013. Starting 9:00am. Place :- Orlando West, Venue: Uncle Tom's Hall next to Hector Peterson Memorial. Today in Azania, the masses of our people confronted with landlessness, an outcome of the 1913 Land Act which resulted to the political economy of the country to be control by white minority capitalist with the collusion of an African comprador bourgeoisie. Living conditions and education. Differences in living conditions between black and white South Africans are illustrated by a Labour Force Survey finding cited in the report. This reveals that while 50% of blacks live in households with four or more people, 73% of black people's dwellings have four rooms or less. On the other hand, only 30% of whites live in households with four or more people, but 80% of their dwellings have four rooms or more. While South Africa is considered an upper middle-income country based on GDP per capita. But there is extreme income inequality and deep poverty is widespread. A 2011 report on youth unemployment produced by the National Treasury states that approximately 42% of young people under the age of 30 are unemployed compared with less than 17% of adults over 30. "Furthermore only 1 in 8 working-age adults under 25 have a job compared with 40% in most emerging economies. Significantly, employment of 18 to 24-year olds has fallen by more than 20% (320 000) since December 2008. This can be attributed to the effects of the global recession sparked by the 20007/2008 financial crisis," the report notes. But it is also reported that, despite the fact that Africans experienced a decline in levels of poverty between 1995 and 2005 from 63% to 57.55%, their poverty levels remained higher than the national average and those of other race groups. For example in 2005 the national average was 49% while the African level was 58%. Less than one percent of whites were poor in 2005. "African households still account for a highly disproportionate share of the poor. South Africa's Gini coefficient, a measure of income equality, is 0.68, one of the highest recorded scores in the world. Though inequality has been historically associated with race, the drivers of inequality in South Africa have been both inter- and intra-race inequality," the report states. These conditions facing the vast majority of our black people, workers, the unemployed, youth, women and children requires activists focus and action. There will be march around Orlando West street leading to the hall for the main rally. We urge all PAC members, activists and militant to join us. PAC Veterans will be forming part of this events including Community Based Organisations and Trade Unions, Youths and Students Organisations, and cultural groups are expected including the evicted communities in Johannesburg and those in Kliptown facing electricity cuts are expected. Let us unite to advance the struggle to overthrow white supremacy and capitalism. Africa Must Unite!
