organized by Revolution for Sale.

The FORUM features Evelyn Groenink, an investigative journalist, based in Johannesburg, who has devoted 7 years of her life to investigate the murder of Chris Hani, Dulcie September and Anton Lubowski. Her book "Dulcie September: Murder in Paris" was first published in Dutch by a European publisher. It was supposed to come out at Jacana Media, a South African publisher, but they decided not to publish it because of numerous threats that were posed against them. Maggie Davey, the Jacana Media publisher, will also attend the FORUM and will be available for questions after the talk.

Itumeleng Makgetla is a political scientist and historian educated at Stellenbosch University. He is part of the Chris Hani - Revolution for Sale film team that organizes the FORUM.

Greatmore Studios have been the home for Revolution for Sale for the last year, and will house the open FORUM!

The FORUM has been kindly sponsored by OCA - Office for Contemporary Art, Norway.
