Community Scholar Workshop The Covid-19 Vaccine Debate

Facilitated by Mzamo Zondi – Treatment Action Campaign and Philisiwe Mazibuko Right2Know Campaign

The global COVID-19 vaccine roll-out is creating a “vaccine apartheid”. As of February 24, approximately 216 million people had been vaccinated globally. Only 8.4 percent of these are in low and lower-middle-income countries, which make up nearly half of the world’s population.[1]
In South Africa there has been conflict between government and civil society together with the scientific community over the absence of a clear strategy to roll out Covid-19 vaccines. The role of civil society is critical in this roll out: it needs principled, independent, informed activism that mobilises power behind the fact that vaccines are a public good and a human right. Civil society further needs an urgent tooling-up on vaccine literacy and virology, systems for close monitoring of pharmaceutical company profiteering and oversight of regulatory authorities.[2]
This workshop will engage with civil society organisations and activists working to ensure vaccine literacy, a successful vaccine roll out and equity in access to vaccines.

Date: Wednesday 21 April 2021
Time: 10:00-12:00
Online Platform: Zoom

World Bank again blindly endorses SA fiscal conservatism, ignoring civil society's more genuine anti-poverty activism

Reducing poverty and inequality has been the cornerstone of development policy in South Africa since the advent of democracy.
Such goals gave impetus to the Reconstruction and Development Program (RDP), guiding government’s policy framework in 1994; they are the inspiration behind the National Development Plan of 2012. The government’s commitment to eliminate poverty is also reflected in fiscal policy: the equitable share formula, which is used to determine transfers to the different spheres of government, contains a poverty component as a redistributive measure.

PARIS CLIMATE SUMMIT=WEATHER TERROR

Paris witnessed both explicit terrorism by religious extremists on November 13 and a month later, implicit terrorism by carbon addicts negotiating a world treaty that guarantees catastrophic climate change. The first incident left more than 130 people dead in just one evening’s mayhem; the second lasted a fortnight but over the next century can be expected to kill hundreds of millions, especially in Africa.

South African oil spill pollutes rich whites’ playground

But suburban Durban’s disaster reveals wider planetary abuse and eco-racism
By Patrick Bond

Over the holiday season, the front pages of the newspapers in Durban – South Africa’s third-largest city – screamed out again and again about a diesel spill. In the suburb of Hillcrest on December 23, a Durban-Johannesburg pipeline operated by the giant parastatal firm Transnet gushed 220 000 liters into wealthy white residents’ gardens.

Latest infrastructure debate: overpopulating SA's White Elephant herd?

The proposed Infrastructure Development Bill aims to fast-track the biggest money-wasting, eco-destructive projects in SA history, and to get this through parliament a strange alliance has emerged between the Minerals-Energy Complex and nationalists of different stripes. South Durban is one of the main sites of infrastructure inveigling, to the tune of R250 billion (before cost escalations).

Private sector corruption unveiled in Durban

Based on research drawing on both Durban business and resource extraction, CCS Visiting Scholar Sarah Bracking explores how corruption is framed by respondents and performed by market actors. New types of corruption have emerged due to the increasing complexity of the public-private boundary and the effects of more liberalized markets.

Transparency initiatives are largely ineffective. What is acceptable behaviour in the private sector; what is a usable foundational morality?
To reduce corruption, Bracking argues, requires that politicians and public sector workers register their private businesses and refrain from related trading; that the state distributes economic opportunity more widely; that political party financing is reformed; and that corporate law is changed to prevent new forms of corruption.

Ordinary Brazilians foot bill for Sepp Blatter to foot Fifa ball

Over the last fortnight, Brazil’s two million street protesters in 80 cities supporting the Free Fare Movement have declared how fed up they are with making multiple sacrifices to Brazilian neoliberalism as revitalized by one Sepp Blatter, the Swiss emperor of Fifa. We should take the opportunity to prod our own three-year-old memories here. After the giddy month of June-July 2010, our own World Cup hangover still requires maxi-strength aspirins for the crushing pain so many South Africans suffer, underfoot Blatter’s white elephant stadiums and elites-only infrastructure.

Khadija Sharife: "Africa pays the price for parasitical and free-riding behaviour of carbon emitters, more so when the financial sector hijacks the path towards which developing nations will access climate funding, by using public funds for private investor interests."
xxSharife and Patrick Bond: "Should society instead move towards retributive payments for ‘ecological debt’ based on both ‘loss and damage’ accounting (introduced at the UNFCCC COP18 in Doha) and environmental justice, in order that the valuing of nature is limited to fines for damages and then prohibitions on further pollution."

SOUTH DURBAN SURVIVAL (continued)

CCS Visiting Scholar Sarah Bracking: If an oil carrying ship hits the rocks off the Durban coast where I live it will cause a spill that will create many jobs, to pick up all the dead birds from the beaches up and down the coast. Economists who love capitalism do not see a problem with the consumer as shopping machine, because for them consumption contributes to job creation and economic growth, which they also see as completely problem free positive things. I don't.

The World Toilet Summit comes to Durban, December 2012

Durban’s Water Woes: Climate Chaos, Blue Flags Down, Neoliberal Loos, Fish Kills and Sewage Spills

The commodification of crap and South Africa’s toilet apartheid
DURBAN - This week’s World Toilet Summit offers an opportunity to contemplate how we curate our crap. Increasingly the calculus seems to be cash, generating contradictions ranging from local to global scales, across race, gender, generation and geography. Nowhere are they more evident than in the host city, my hometown of Durban. We’ve suffered an 18-year era of neoliberal-nationalist malgovernance including toilet apartheid , in the wake of more than 150 years of colonialism and straight racial-apartheid.

	Who’s to blame for “blood diamond” regulation failure?
	Anglo De Beers put in the frame The Kimberley Certification Process (KP) was ostensibly designed to keep “blood diamonds” off global markets. Not only has it failed to do so, but it is actively promoting the human rights atrocities it pledged to wipe out. More

Powerlessness, thanks to BHP Billiton

World's largest mining house gets cut-rate power price and huge profits, subsidised by the poor. The Marikana massacre has unveiled a mining-policing conspiracy against striking miners that links Lonmin shareholder Cyril Ramaphosa to Police Minister Nathi Mthetwa via incriminating emails. But this incident pales in comparison to the decades of damage done by malevolent power relations between BHP Billiton and Pretoria officials, relations that now seem to be shifting because of Eskom’s desperation.

Questions for the mall-builders

Shopping centres are a foolish, destructive investment destination

This week, Durban’s International Convention Centre hosts 1300 delegates to a Shopping Centre Congress sponsored by one of South Africa’s most environmentally-destructive financial institutions. (As the country’s second largest coal lender and a proponent of failed carbon trading, also known as the “privatisation of the air”, Nedbank advertises extra aggressively to brainwash us into thinking it’s a “green” bank.)

MDGs are still 'Maximum Distraction Gimmicks'

if South Africa can't count its broken taps
The 2012 Millennium Development Goals report warns that the 2015 deadline is fast approaching and in order to achieve outstanding goals, governments, the international community, civil society and the private sector need to intensify their contributions. South Africa is far away from meeting the deliverables of the Millennium Development Goals as there are no proper audit processes.
