*CWU ON MSWATI’S SHAMEFULL CONCERT-PARTY* * *
*21 April 2011* The Communication Workers Union (CWU) is horror-struck by Mswati’s regime in organising a multi-million rand concert-party for his son using worker tax payers’ money in Swaziland. It is very rude, brutal and horrible for Mswati to cut salaries of Swaziland workers for the sake of a luxurious concert-party for his son. This is almost lunacy. CWU calls on all South African (S.A) artists to abandon this ruthless concert in solidarity with the people of Swaziland. We call on our sister union, the Creative Workers Union of South Africa (CWUSA) to instruct its members (South African artists) to abandon this lunatic concert-party which is held at the expense of the working class and the poorest of the poor of Swaziland. As CWU, we regard DJ Tira and DJ Tungero as heroes by withdrawing from performance in a country that smells blood of innocent people who are killed by the Tikundla regime for seeking democracy and freedom. We are disappointed as CWU by Bonang Matheba, a presenter of a popular show at SABC 1 *live *and Metro FM presenter, DJ Thibo-Touch and others to agree to attend this atrocious and horrific event that is organised during the revolt by the citizens of Swaziland to liberate Swazi people. Our patriotic artists must not be driven by capital at the expense of the blood of the working class and the poorest of the poor of Swaziland. Bonang Matheba, DJ Thibo-Touch and DJ Lungsta should associate themselves with events that build a unified African Nation so that their work of art could have a huge effect in shaping the African Nation at large in terms of attaining freedom, democracy, peace and social justice. They should be inspired by the work of great artists like Sello “Chicco” Twala, Mama Yvonne Chaka Chaka, the late Lucky Dube, Mama Mariam Makeba, Brenda “Mabrrr” Fassie and many more great progressive artists. CWU would like to draw the attention of South African artists to the fact that the struggle of the people of Swaziland is a struggle of all the people in the African continent, so it is very important that everyone must pledge solidarity with the people of Swaziland against this lunatic Tikundla. *An injury to one is an injury to all.* The spirit of great African leaders like Oliver Tambo, Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba and many more who fought for democracy, freedom, social justice and peace in our African continent will haunt King Mswati, as his regime is about to collapse. *Contact:* * * *Matankana Mothapo, National Spokesperson - 0827590900* * * -- You are subscribed.
