Résumé

Cet article étudie la capacité des TIC à élargir le travail accompli par les mouvements et activistes sociaux d'Afrique du Sud. L'utilisation des TIC par un groupe d'activistes sud-africain sera analysée, dans le contexte des nouveaux discours sur l'unité panafricaine, tels que ceux portant sur la Renaissance Africaine et le Nouveau Plan pour le Développement de l'Afrique (NEPAD), afin de voir comment ces technolo gies de la communication peuvent être intégrées aux mouvements sociaux locaux, dans le cadre de larges réseaux politiques et communicatifs, aussi bien sur le conti nent africain qu'ailleurs.
