What you should know about Esset

Ecumenical Service for Socio-Economic Transformation (ESSET) introduced the concept of the Solidarity Economy to the informal trader organizations that we work with, in The Solidarity Economy is a key theme of our work with informal traders. One of the key achievements of our work on the Solidarity Economy is the formation of 11 women’s worker cooperatives and a women’s business association in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland, comprising women informal traders, in Women are involved in social movements that are patriarchal, where women continue to be marginalised. Women are excluded from decision-making and their reality is not taken into account. Our initiatives are unapologetically biased towards women, because they tend to bear the brunt of poverty, discrimination, exploitation and abuse. ESSET has held a write-workshop for women that all three ESSET programmes focus on. The women shared their stories as a means of building and empowering other women who have been and are in the same situations as theirs. Effects of patriarchy and means to dismantle and crush patriarchy. After the launch, the common expectation was the informal trader organizations will with the support of ESSET organize local engagements meetings with their governments and present a list of demands that was prepared by the traders during the local consultative meetings facilitated by ESSET. The main purpose of this reference group is to be a feeder and resource to ESSET’s Theology and Social Justice Programme. The objective of the paper is to explore strategies for increasing ecumenical activism in post-apartheid South Africa. The main goal of the project was to improve the livelihoods of poor and unemployed women who rely on informal trading for survival. It must also be noted that the sector is not heterogeneous and particular circumstances should be looked at on a case by case basis. These countries include South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. As a community activist Bongani has personally experienced bribery and corruption from the African National Congress. No doubt, as one of the leading organizations for the movement of black liberation, the prestigious history of the ANC cannot be denied and this is shown among others by its own members who have echoed the sentiments voiced out by a cross section of our public life for Mr Zuma to demit office. But he strangely qualified this by saying people should nonetheless follow democratic process, by implication, respect the vote cast to give him and the ANC the mandate to govern and effect their change possibly when the time for another round of elections come. The extent of the ANC’s injustice and ill-fated trust in itself as a source of power yet in perpetual betrayal of the trust and faith of the vulnerable is proportional to the justification by faith alone for the search of a new legitimacy. Increasing community mobilization for stronger local democracy and community-driven development. ESSET as a mediator between the poor and the justice system aims at Increasing community mobilization for stronger local democracy and community-driven development. The workshop was held with a youth group that has a community-driven development programme. The workshop was to raise awareness about causes and factors influencing gender-based violence. The workshop also created a space for young voices to get talking about issues of patriarchy, culture, socialisation, and religion.
