The third and last day of the Southern African Social Forum (SASF) dealt with the crisis in Zimbabwe and presented resolutions produced in the different topical workshops. Starting off with presentations from Zimbabwean activists on the crisis in their country, the Forum closed with a way forward for struggle in the whole southern African region. One of the reasons why Zimbabwe had been chosen to host the SASF was that so much focus was placed on the country, and activists wanted to come here to see with their own eyes what is happening, organisers of the Forum explained to Indymedia/South Africa. While it was a challenge to organise the logistics of the Forum, especially since the lack of fuel in the country made transportation of delegates difficult, Zimbabwe is a key country in the struggle against imperialist oppression causing poverty and social under-development, as well as the struggle against internal repression and lack of democratic rights. As such, the SASF was held in the midst of a place where all the reasons for struggle exist too obviously.
