March 3rd – 5th: Uyafuna i-Condom?

We were back at the TAC offices this week, which (while lacking any film crews from Vogue), did give us the opportunity to build our relationships with the community workers at TAC and gain insight into the preparation for the coming patent law march. On Monday afternoon, we sat in on a meeting with the Khayelitsha branches where information about the march was disseminated and plans for transport were confirmed. This march, a week from Thursday, was intended to mobilize over 1,500 activists to march on Parliament to call for a change in South Africa’s patent laws and processes.  There was a lot of planning and mobilizing going on.
