Cadres, I am proud that the liberation movement, ANC, is starting to bear fruits for what it stood for, for the past nine decades. It had been the conviction of the ANC that all people irrespective of race, creed or status in society must be able to go to the polls and vote or be voted by other citizens. That all must be allowed to form or join a political organisation and this is what "Terror" and his folks are planning to do in the forthcoming three to four weeks. The ANC had been fighting for democracy that unfortunately some had not realised it but only woke up to realise it now.
The matter that is incorrect about "Terror" is the manner and way he is using to form his political organisation. It is highly wrong for him to use ANC structures for launching his organisation , if it was in business we were going to speak about conflict of interests. It is wrong for him to issue ultimatum to the leadership in the media without even engaging his own branch (if he still has one or maybe he is part of a virtual branch that the ANC had rejected in 2005 NGC and 2007 Polokwane conference). He has a right in any way to organise for his political party but not at the ANC expense. It is suprising to note that Terror had realised that the ANC had deviated from it's policies and I agree with him. That's why he was voted out so that the new leadership will work to put the ANC house in order. It is true that the ANC led government failed to implement the freedom charter especially in terms of the economic transformation. The willing buyer willing seller principle had been rejected by many people including political organisation in parliament and Terror failed to take into task his colleagues in cabinet. It is a shame for him to shift his conundrum to the current leadership of the ANC. For us currently is not to mourn, but to organise. We the poor of the poorest of South Africa have nothing to lose in the current leadership of the ANC than be led by Terror. We must categorically state that our fight and struggle is not based on personalities and who owns which wine farm but to dismantle capitalism and its compradors. The ANC will never be a property limited company. The ANC has structures where decision are taken democratically. The branch is a basic unit of the organisation and it through a branch that we need to engage and be engaged and then collectively will arrive in a decision that will be binding to all of us irrespective of whether we were present or not. The ANC leadership is correct to engage the renegade first before drastic actions be taken. We said everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a competent court of law or competent structure and this is applicable in the ANC. We are not in a Banana republic or organisation. If comrades have opposing views, they need to engage each other in a respectful manner and not name labeling. Cultures and traditions do change but we need to guard against those cultures that doesn't enrich the organisation. In open arms, let us receive an organisation that is formed and led by BITTER people, who failed to convince it's membership that GEAR is the way to follow. They will go down in the annals of history as champions of a burred dream. I wonder what will be their policies. Maybe the first clause of their freedom charter will be: thy shall struggle for a wine farm. I might be joking in the last statement BUT in all our work and contributions, we need to be conscience about the struggle for a classless society Wonder 084 2796 356 Disclaimer This e-mail and any attachments transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
