About

Who we are

Chris Hani Institute is a left-wing think tank launched in 2003 by the SACP and COSATU to provide education and training for the selected youth, stewards, and officials. The Institute was established to engage in the battle of ideas and to develop alternatives to neo-liberalism, and to deepen the links between progressive intellectuals in our universities and inside the democratic movement.
