As Numsa gears up for the launch of its United Front, SACSIS and Norwegian People’s Aid recently hosted a panel discussion that examined the relationship between labour and civil society in the struggle for social justice. Numsa is doing pioneering work in South Africa, but international examples of labour/civil society partnerships are not uncommon. Our panel included international speakers who talked about their experiences of these partnerships. Although challenges with respect to getting partnerships working effectively were identified, the importance of labour and civil society joining forces was undeniable. As one speaker put it, the struggle against elites is a political struggle that requires a new political mass movement.

This panel discussion took place at the Civicus International Civil Society Week hosted at Wits University in late November. The event brought together civil society activists from all over the world.
