Voices of the Streets is a podcast series published by the Alternative Information and Development Center (AIDC). It highlights people voices and opinions during political events happening primarily in Cape Town. We believe that social justice and effective democracy implies the working class and marginalized groups to be the most listened to. Therefor we are out on the streets recording protesters testimonies, offering a mouthpiece for those voices that remained too often unheard.

<p>{Podcast interprété en français} Anglo American Plc est une multinationale minière, premier producteur mondial de platinium et un important producteur de diamants, de nickel et de charbon.<br> <br> Historiquement, ils ont soutenu des partis politiques engagés pour l'apartheid, ont mis en œuvre un capitalisme particulièrement sévère, payant des salaires extrêmement faibles et ont fini par dévaster les pratiques agriculturelles locales.<br> <br> L'apartheid a permis à des entreprises minières comme Anglo de faire des profits sur le dos de travailleurs massivement exploités. Depuis la chute de l'apartheid, Anglo a déménagé son siège à Londres, mais met toujours en œuvre plusieurs projets miniers en Afrique du Sud et dans les pays alentours.<br> <br> Nous avons demandé à une activiste vivant dans une communauté affectée par des projets miniers, de partager son expèrience sur les méthodes et pratiques mises en oeuvre par Anglo America. Ces témoignages montrent à quel point une multinationale comme Anglo n’a pas changé sa politique fondamentalement - son ADN même - depuis la chute de l’apartheid. Ils ont eut pour but, et l'ont toujours à ce jour, de maximiser les profits, quelqu'en soit les impacts pour les travailleurs et les travailleuses.</p>

<p>Anglo American Plc is a multinational mining company. They are the world’s largest producer of platinum, and a major producer of diamonds, nickel and coal. </p> <p>Historically, they supported parties that took part in white only politics. They implemented themselves in a very harsh form of capitalism, paying out extremely low wages, and utilizing migrant labor, destroying local subsistence agriculture. </p> <p>Apartheid allowed mining companies like Anglo to make profit off the back of a massively exploited working class. Since the fall of Apartheid, Anglo moved its headquarters to London, but is still implementing several mining projects around and in South Africa.</p> <p>We asked an activist living in a mining affected community what she has to said about Anglo America methods and practices. Those testimonies highlights how Anglo hasn’t change its essence – its fundamental DNA – since the fall of Apartheid. It was, and still is, narrowly focus on profit maximization, no matter the cost to the rights of workers and communities.</p>
