South Africa has one of the largest gaps between the rich and the poor among industrialized nations. This gap has not lessened since the end of the apartheid regime. The strike of public sector workers is one step in a working class movement for a more just society. A whole range of measures leading to democratic socialism are required if South Africa is to move beyond the current situation of exploitation and oppression to one where equality is the rule and adequately funded social services are provided for all. -             Socialist Party USA 339 Lafayette St. #303 New York, NY 10012
