Africa/Global: Give displaced people their rights, say delegates

Speakers at an event entitled 'Development induced displacement: Perspective and strategies', held at the World Social Forum not only stressed the struggle for the rights of those who are displaced but also called for the shunning of the World Bank. Sharing the experience in his country, the South African delegate Trevor Ngwane said that the peasants and working class never had peace in South Africa ever since gold was discovered. "Only two per cent of land has come back to our hands," he said.
