Malehoko Tshoaedi is an associate professor in the department of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. She is co-editor of a number of books of which most recently The Fourth Industrial Revolution: A Sociological Critique (2021) and Labour Beyond Cosatu: Mapping the Rupture in South Africa's Labour Landscape (2017).
Published in the 50th anniversary year of the 1973 Durban strikes, this volume honours this milestone by reflecting on the past and the future of labour, primarily in South Africa but also globally. It focuses on how South Africa’s lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic further exposed key contradictions and challenges that labour movements face.
