The Chris Hani Institute (CHI) was launched in 2003 to promote the values and principles practised by Chris Hani and others in their struggle to serve the aspirations of ordinary working people and the poor in Southern Africa.
The CHI aims to engage in the battle of ideas, to develop alternatives to neo-liberalism, and to deepen the links between progressive intellectuals in our universities and inside the democratic movement. Our research, educational work and public engagement is from the perspective of working (and workless) people, from the losers rather than the winners in post-apartheid South Africa.
