- Description
- A protest pamphlet and mobilisation call issued by CANSA following the visit of IMF Managing Director Michel Camdessus to South Africa in October 1996. The document critiques the South African government's shift toward "Structural Adjustment Programmes" (SAPs) and the adoption of the GEAR (Growth, Employment and Redistribution) strategy. It outlines the "Dangers of the IMF," including privatisation, cuts to social spending, and trade liberalisation. It concludes with the announcement of CANSA’s launch in Gauteng and Cape Town on 15 October 1996, as an alliance of NGOs, trade unions, and community groups.
