Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] YCLSA call for a boycott of South African artists
who played at the MTN Bushfire Festival
YCLSA Press Statement

YCLSA call for a boycott of South African artists who played at the MTN
Bushfire Festival
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] condemns greediness of
some South African artists who chose material reward by playing at the MTN
Bushfire Festival at the weekend over standing in solidarity with the oppressed
people of Swaziland.
The YCLSA is in complete support the ongoing cultural boycott on Swaziland led
by the Swaziland Solidarity Network [SSN] and the Creative Workers Union of
South Africa [CWUSA].
Some of the artists that require our urgent attentions for isolation are:
* Toya Delazy
* DJ Euphonik
* The Muffinz
* Shangaan Electro
* Catch the rain
* Jeremy Loops
* DJ mighty
* Mix n Blend
* The Soil
We hereby call on all our structures including members of the Mass Democratic
Movement [MDM], the Progressive Youth Alliance [PYA], and all other
organisations that are friendly to the YCL not to support their music.
We as South Africans know precisely the relevance of this boycott because of
the key role played by international solidarity in bringing down the system
that was declared a crime against humanity in the form of apartheid. We wish to
endorse the call by the SACP, NUM, COSATU, CWUSA, SSN, NUMSA and many other
progressive organisations to boycott all artists who have shown indifference to
the call to isolate Swaziland.
As YCLSA we are fully behind the demands by the people of Swaziland namely:
* Unbanning of all political parties
* Release of all political prisoners
* Unconditional return of all exiles
* Free media and freedom of speech
Issued by YCLSA Head Office
