Carmel Foster US rights activist joins SA civil rights movement

The civil rights movement of Solly Moeng, The United South Africa Movement (TUSAM), is gaining support from across the world. One of the speakers at the upcoming People's Summit for a People's Charter will be an ex-South African executive assistant Carmel Foster, who has lived in the United States (US) for almost two decades. Foster is credited for getting a law passed that validates and dignifies workers' rights after she lobbied extensively following her own experiences as a domestic worker. Foster, who has authored The Awakening based on her experiences, stresses the importance of “being able to have the guts to get up and say, I want change”. Foster, who is excited to collaborate with TUSAM says: “I feel a deep responsibility to give back and share the knowledge and experiences I've gained while residing in one of the world's superpowers…Together we can work on enhancing digital infrastructure to create employment opportunities and drive social economic development.” - Chris Steyn
