The Deputy General Secretary of the South African Communist Party (SACP), Jeremy Cronin, will deliver the Inaugural Chris Hani Memorial Lecture at the University of Transkei as detailed below.
DATE : Saturday, 12 April 2003
TIME : 14h00 - 17h00
VENUE: Main Auditorium, University of Transkei, Umtata
The theme of the lecture will be "Do not just transfer power, transform it" - a paraphrasing of words used by Chris Hani in his last interview with the African Communist, the SACP's theoretical journal. The lecture will explore Hani's legacy and how important it is in terms of reminding ourselves about the nature of the 1994 democratic breakthrough. "1994 was not just about regime change. It was also about challenges and transformational struggles that lie ahead. Hani always understood the centrality of mass struggle in changing society", said Cronin.
This is the first ever Chris Hani Memorial Lecture hosted by the University of Transkei.
The lecture will be followed by a Chris Hani Memorial Cultural Evening and a Cocktail Reception hosted by the University.
