Re: Invite to the National Conference of the Democratic Left
Since October 2008 the Conference of the Democratic Left process has
continued to evolve and provide a space for strategic convergence. The
call for a national conference has brought together various left

(in Gauteng and the Western Cape) and workshops in other provinces.
These events have stimulated vibrant and exciting conversations on
various political and ideological themes that are defining the content
of a new democratic left politics.
