Well said comrade and I wish everyone could take cue from your earnest appeal to recognise common variants of our movement led by the ANC. We always preach collectivism but when practised we cry foul and question the bona fide of the messenger. Let's practice what we preach in principle - not by preference or selectively. I trust cde Kanego has brought finality to this debate, unless otherwise there's an exigency. I remain, Morgan Phaahla

The African National Congress is not the SACP nor COSATU so Cde Gwede cannot be expected to be the Chairperson of SACP in the capacity of the Secretary General of the ANC. I repeat myself on this matter, ask Cde Gwede in a meeting of the SACP about his view on the issue he will tell you what the SACP stand is on the matter of strikes. We will be fooled to expect Cde Gwede to echo the SACP stand in the capacity of ANC. This also reflects that we may be influential in terms of policy thrust of the ANC as the leading partner of the Tripartite Alliance, however we are not yet the strongest dominating force hence there are contradicting forces within this movement.

I thought he was a unionist and a communist now he really showed the workers where his loyalty is situated. The workers are not the ones who started or created this economic crisis, no as Alex Mashilo says this Capitalist Crisis. How can one of our own come with this Stalinist tendencies of silencing workers. Gwede Mantashe must apologise to the workers and to the members of the Party. Workers are engaged in a permannet revolution, Comrades should not abandon the working class at the convenience of the cruel, evil Capitalist as one of my cadres said when i engaged him on this matter. If Gwede Mantashe really respects SACP which is the vanguard of the working class and the workers themselves he must withdraw this uncalled for statement. I was really impressed by cde Blade and Vavi when they showed where their loyalty is situated. A true communist will never sell out the masses like what Gwede Mantashe is doing. He is feeling comfortable at Luthuli House and he has forgotten how badly and cruel the workers are being treated at the work place. How can one forget so fast I wonder if he still keeps the Marxist and Leninist classics in his office or house or now he is reading ADAM SMITH and HOW TO GET RICH QUICKER AND EASIER THROUGH EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS. Let us not comrades compromise the workers, ANC spoke of decent jobs before the election, and now when workers want to strike to protect this none decent jobs Mr Capitalist and former Communist Gwede Mantashe comes and insult them in their gathering it is really suprisng how a communist and a unionist can fastly forget the challenges that workers are facing day in day out at the work place. Amandla cadres this are just my views. This message and attachments are subject to a disclaimer.
