Glossary of terms - used in the paper on globalisation, and discussion paper on the state and transformation
This edition of Umrabulo, the first since the 50th Conference, will focus on some of the issues of public debate during the first half of 1998.
Amongst those is a speech to Parliament by ANC President Thabo Mbeki, focusing on the theme of Nation-building and Reconciliation. With the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission coming to an end, how to take forward a program of reconciliation, becomes even more of an issue.
The coming summit of the Tripartite Alliance has been preceded by robust and often sharp debates on its content, form and workings. We therefore include a discussion paper for the Alliance summit during the second half of this year on the Role of the State in Transformation and the speech made by Cde Mbeki to the 10th Congress of the South African Communist Party.
Lastly, the 50th Conference adopted a Resolution on our lnternational relations, and we include two discussion papers on Globalisation and the African Renaissance, which seek to take forward the debate on these two very important aspects which impact on our policy and work.
These articles and speeches do not purport to be the final word on any of the issues covered, but in the spirit of Umrabulo to take further the debates. All branches, regions, provinces and the Leagues should critically discuss the issues covered in these papers as part of our political education program. The Department of Political Education also welcomes contributions to future editions of Umrabulo.
The contents of this edition of Umrabulo do not necessarily express the policy of the ANC
