South Africa — As part of its ongoing commitment to global learning and solidarity, CFJ Colorado is currently implementing an international exchange visit to South Africa. Today marked an inspiring milestone in this initiative.

The day began with a key meeting between CFJ Colorado and the National Union of Mineworkers of South Africa, alongside close comrade and longtime advocate Glen Mpufane, to share organizational insights and strengthen ties.

The team also attended an engaging discussion hosted by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), exploring the rich history and community-driven evolution of local labor movements.

It was a fascinating dialogue and a wonderful opportunity for CFJ Colorado to connect with dedicated global leaders working toward community and economic empowerment.
