South African anti-globalisation protesters have branded the South African government as a sell-out willing to abandon the rest of Africa and the developing world to further its own business interests. The six protesters levelled the charges on Sunday before heading to Cancun, Mexico, to join about 50 000 other activists who will protest against the latest round of the World Trade Organisation negotiations that are scheduled to start on Wednesday. The six are part of the African Trade Network that wants to "constitute a strong African voice that opposes and seeks alternatives to further expansion of the WTO".
