Speaking Tour of Lindela Figlan from Abahlali baseMjondolo

The London Anarchist Bookfair is bringing Lindela Figlan from Abahlali baseMjondolo
over from south Africa to speak at this years bookfair. Rather than just bringing
him over for the one date, we thought it would be more productive to bring him over
for a bit longer and to get him speaking in other places in London and around the
UK. 

So, he is coming over for 21 days and is speaking at a load of places. Attached is
his speaking dates and venues. If you could help us publicise these, especially if
you live in one of the towns/cities he is speaking in that would be great.

The list will also be on the bookfair website in the next day or so.

You can find out more about Abahlali baseMjondolo at (http://abahlali.org/) or check
out this film about them on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyjCURkWqsE
