Joyce is an MP for the African National Congress and served previously from 2001 to 2004. She chairs the Public Service and Administration Portfolio Committee in the National Assembly and is the Deputy Chairperson of the South African Communist Party.

This is an opportunity to hear and meet a woman who is committed to fighting against injustice and poverty, and for the rights of women within that struggle. She will be speaking about that struggle and, in her own words, “bearing in mind the fact of the negative impact that the current global financial crisis has on the black working classes and poor women of the world.” She will talk about how we are to understand and oppose this crisis, and how we are to organise an international movement against it.
