Ari Sitas also from the people's and workers' heater movement of the 70s and 80s. Ari is a poet, a sociologist and an anti- and post-Apartheid activist. His poetry and theatre work has been anthologised and his involvement with COSATU and the liberation movement well-documented. He has been a catalyst for many progressive policy changes in the country, has served on a number of commissions and he is actively working with South African and Indian composers on new revolutionary ideas around music and performance. His selected poems Rough Music have just been published spanning 24 years of work and his social science books - Theoretical Parables, Ethic of Reconciliation and The Mandela Decade: Labour, Culture and Politics in South Africa's Transition make him one of the left's challenging intellectuals.
