Welcome to CHi

A research academy and Marxist think-tank, providing analysis and training for workers,
youths and community activists

In 2003 the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) launched the Chris Hani Institute. The Institute seeks to engage in the battle of ideas and 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 predominantly from the Marxist (and Leninist) perspective – that is working (working and workless people) class and from the viewpoint of the loser rather than the winners of the neo-liberal global capitalist system.
