- Description: South Africa is in the process of renegotiating the Southern African Customs Union Agreement with Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland. The origins of the Agreement date back to 1889 making this one of the world’s oldest customs union agreements. The present version of the Act dates back to 1969. Since that time various conflicts have arisen between member countries regarding the objectives and operations of the agreement. Given the new political situation and the changing international trade climate, a decision has been made to renegotiate the agreement entirely. Discussions are now underway and these are being co-ordinated through the Customs Union Task Team which comprises representatives of the various countries. The South African government, through the Department of Trade and Industry recently held a workshop in order to brief interested parties. Parties have been invited to comment on the process and the Department has agreed to involve the Nedlac Trade and Industry chamber in any decision about the future of SACU.

- Description: The research report emanates from the NALEDI Women and Work research group. In 1994 COSATU’s Congress called for the establishment of a research group at NALEDI to explore the position of women workers. After discussions between COSATU National Women’s Sub-Committee and NALEDI, the Women and Work Project was conceived. The project comprises of two research programmes: firstly, an examination of the problems experienced by women at the workplace, and, secondly, an examination of the position of women in the trade unions. This report is the first leg of that project. It is envisaged that the second leg (on women in trade unions), will be completed by the end of 1995. This report is primarily aimed at synthesising existing literature and does not necessarily generate new information. The report identifies key problems experienced by women at the workplace and recommends policy options for unions, employers and the government. However, the report does not consider all problems experienced by women at the workplace. For example, key issues like education, training,' health and safety are not dealt with here.
