The Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) cordially invites you to the opening of the Phiroshaw Camay Library on 27 Feb 2024, 16:00 (SAST).
Phiroshaw Camay was a lifelong activist and humanitarian. He spent many years in the trade union movement as one of the leading voices of the trade unity talks in South African in the mid 1980’s. An early librarian, his involvement in the National Council of Trade Unions was influenced by the Pan Africanist Congress and the Black Consciousness Movement. He left the organized trade union movements in the 1990’s to establish and lead the Co-operative for Research and Education (Core), a nongovernmental organization focused on building a strong civil society in post-apartheid South Africa. Until his passing in 2016, he remained an activist and proponent for an equitable and transformed South Africa. It is for this reason that his widow, Anne Gordon, bequeathed his personal library to the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS), based at Wits University with the hope that it will aid in the ongoing research and objectives of the Centre to bring about a more equal society.
