The ANC's deputy secretary-general, Jessie Duarte, said the campaign, which will be launched on Friday at 19:00, was not only to stand in solidarity with Americans but would also seek to highlight racism in South Africa.
Cosatu's general-secretary, Bheki Ntshalintshali, said the decision for people to wear black as part of the campaign was meant to conscientise them as they would be deciding whether to remain neutral or to take a stand against racial discrimination.

Zeroing in on the acts of the ANC's own government, the alliance secretariat said its campaign wanted to take a stand against acts of brutality meted out by the police and security forces.
