Namibia Captured By Chinese Capital & Union Busting Drive With George Martin &Hewat Beukes

The largest exporter of capital in the world is China and it has taken control of all the uranium and marble mines in Namibia. It is also engaged in a union busting drive according to George Martin who is the Namibian Rossing MUN fired branch secretary.
Chinese National Nuclear Corporation bought the Rossing mine in 2019 and fired nine branch union leaders in 2020. It is also laying off hundreds of workers at the mine and bringing in a Chinese contractor to replace permanent workers with contract labor.
George Martin also reports on the systemic attack on other unionized mines targeting the union officers. Presenting with him is Hewat Beukes who is a labor lawyer and long time socialist in Namibia. He is also being sued by the Chinese National Nuclear Corporation and faces possible imprisonment by the lawsuit.
The SWAPO government and judiciary has shut off his water and electricity. Beukes also discusses the theory of multi-polarity and the South against the North ideology which argues that the people and workers of the world should support Chinese investment and their economic control of economies of other countries.
This presentation was made on 7/29/23.
