PRESS ALERT

= **INVITATION TO A CONSULTATIVE SEMINAR ON THE SWAZILAND SOLIDARITY YOUTH ACTION** =

The Young Communist League of South Africa is preparing for a **Swaziland Youth Solidarity Week** from the 05-10 December 2005. This will include activities ranging from pickets, dialogue, solidarity and a National Day of Action. The YCL further intends sending a delegation to Swaziland to meet with youth, students, trade union and political organisations to get a briefing on the situation there.

This is in light of the dictatorial monarchy of King Mswati III, together with his Tinkundla cronies and the deepening hunger and poverty suffered by the youth in Swaziland. The increasing unemployment rate, HIV/AIDS infections and continuous political exclusion and marginalisation of the people and youth of that country cannot go on without action on our part as the youth of this country.

We are therefore extending an invitation to your organization to attend a **Swaziland Youth Solidarity Consultative Conference** on the Swaziland struggle and solidarity with the youth people of that country. The Consultative Conference will focus on the following issues:


 * The current situation in Swaziland (To be presented by the Swaziland Youth Congress).


 * The role of South African youth in the liberation of Swaziland.


 * A programme for the Solidarity Week, with action and key demands to be discussed.

You are therefore requested to send a delegation of not more than 5 (five) people to the Consultative Conference.


 * DATE : 28 Nov 2005**


 * VENUE :** **SACCAWU House, 1st Floor at No. 11 Leyds Street, Braamfontein**


 * TIME : 10h00—15h00**

Please confirm your attendance with Ndileka Nomboniso at (e-mail) ndileka@ycl.org.za or (011) 339 3621.

A light lunch will be served at the meeting.
