Solidarity writes to companies – you do not have the right to obey the injustice of the new race law
1 June 2023
Solidarity today wrote to at least 2 000 of South Africa’s major companies, asking them to record their protest against the government’s latest race laws.
Companies are requested to collectively refuse to implement the Act, to exert political pressure on the government and to join the legal battle.
Solidarity Chief Executive writes that now is not the time for blind obedience, but it is time for positive protest. This will be for the good of everyone in South Africa.
According to the letter, companies that obey this new injustice are not only complicit in the injustice but also in the deepening crisis in the country. The letter also points out that companies do not have the right to obey injustice.
