#1 "Zimbabwe's Crisis: A Film and Discussion" (with Timothy Rukombo, 
local activist)
TIME: 17h00-17h30
VENUE: UKZN Howard College Auditorium, Howard College Campus

#2: "Communities against Xenophobia: Solidarity for Social Change!
TIME: 17h30-19h30
VENUE: UKZN Howard College Auditorium, Howard College Campus

We welcome the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa and social
justice activists from all over our region.

At a time of enormous political tension in neighbouring Zimbabwe, we
continue our series of discussions on overcoming xenophobia.

Durban communities have long mobilised against problems: poverty and
unemployment, forced removals, evictions, relocations, bad housing,
water, sanitation, electricity crisis, high food prices, racism, sexual
exploitation, crime, drugs, corrupt government, political repression
here and across Africa, old-fashioned colonial borders between our
people, thugs who scapegoat and attack refugees….

Facing these problems together is critical.
