The AIDC is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. At the same time, it is the 10th anniversary since the launching of the Amandla media project.
To commemorate AIDC’s 20th anniversary and Amandla’s 10th anniversary, we will host a seminar on the crisis of politics. This is a forerunner to an international conference that we will host in collaboration with our Transnational Institute friends in March 2017 on the same theme.
