Mutshidza,
Student organizations should attend to student issues and not try to solely serve the interests of political parties. The reason being that NOT ALL students may be members of or supporters of a political party and therefore , student representatives , should be aware of the fact that their student constituency is diverse in terms of political views or beliefs. Failure to recognize this may lead to the division of the student body into political factions which, in many instances , may not be in the interests of the student body as a whole irrespective of political affiliation. I am not aware of the circumstances around Takalani and would be grateful if I could be updated - although it appears from Mutshidza that Takalani appears to be supporting a corrupt Professor who has been booted out because of financial mismanagement.

I have to be honest with comrades that the relationship of components PYA components in VUT is not healthly because of this comrades who don't want to debate, they want agremnous dabate. The division is about some comrades of SASCO and ANCYL who don't understand struggle of ideas. And the very same comrades are the one's who have notorious relationship with VUT management and are the one's who are used by the management to misdirect PYA in the campus, even if Takalani could have engaged PYA situation would have been the same because the letter of suspension of SRC is the same as that one management gave Takalani and both they hold no waters. Takalani took the intiative to speak to pertinent issue affecting VUT and the very same SRC don't even try to protect Takalani as a Student, it evident enough that ordinary students can be victimised by the management in the presence of the SRC. Every thing the SRC do they go for the mandate first in the office of assistant director, who dilluted student gorvenance in VUT. Now comrades Takalani was not wrong because even today those issues he raised would have not been raised by any one. In this campus YCL and SUCA are hated very much by comrades of SASCO and ANCYL and I am not going to hide it, it's a fact. That's how far I can elaborate. Amandla!!! ________________________________ From: Nndwamato Mutshidza <[email protected]> To: Young Communist League Forum <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 8, 2009 1:27:15 PM Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Re: Illdiscipline of Cadres in VUT (Particularly Cde Takalani) Cdes, Maybe one will have to move in and try to share some lights by virtue of being a former Student Leader. The fact of the matter is that these things does happened and the question which on always seeks to clarify is do we elevate individual view above that of collective. I am saying this because my take is that the VUT SRC is PYA lead and as discipline force and member of the PYA, Cde Takalani should have went back to the structure that deployed him to the SRC and engage so that a collective PYA response could be provided. He does not need to enter into cahoot with AZASCO to deal with PYA leaders in the SRC. Hence the same analogy of Rights should be confined to Statute, Constitution of the Organisation which he belong (YCL, ANCYL, SASCO) and others. Discipline means that the collective could take a decision that does not support your views and you should rally behind those views and not run to the media to deal with the internal matters. This are the tendencies of Patronage which you talking to my leader. I am informed that informed by this developments the PYA SRC suspended cde Takalani pending investigation on issue that brought the SRC into disrepute and among others conniving with Evil forces to destroy the very same Unity and Cohesion of our Glorious PYA in the name of Freedom of Expression which is out of context. Lets tell it as it is, Cde Takalani talk to Prof. Mokati, who was dealt with accordingly and through legal framework won the case against the institution. Hence Cde Takalani should objectively raise the issue of the Whistle Blower, who happened to be the CFO of the University. Then what he ought to say to Council is that due to the outcome of the Court how do we deal with the CFO who from onset as a result of fallout with Prof. Mokati decided to sell Mokati to Council while he is part to the issues raised on mismanagement of University Monies, having Private Bodyguards and use Students to push his thing across the University. Then cde Takalani should tell us which Agenda is he pushing? Which is anti-change? Why is Prof. Mokati so important to Takalani? We know the history of his flamboyant life style and rewards to SRC cdes that are supporting his cause. Is Takalani a potential beneficiary of dubious bids to bring Prof. Mokati back? I think and this my views, that Cde Takalani is not a victim but he want to create an impression that he is the sole voice of change in VUT. It cannot be correct that he disregards the PYA Structures on Campus and opt to take this Transformational agenda on personal basis. If he believe he has a point he should have taken it to the Structures and it becomes organisation programme to challenge Management of VUT and if it means that the SRC collectives should be dealt with the PYA Structure should be given a space to do so. So he is a Victim of Himself and should understand that. However, the National leadership as well as Provincial Leadership of PYA should engage this matter and resolve around the way forward. It cannot be correct that SAUS should move in to resolve issues that have political consequences as oppose to SASCO, ANCYL, YCL, and other Allies before bringing in the Federation. Cde Takalani ought to know this as Provincial Leader of YCL, that Organisational Discipline should always guide us on how to put our personal interest above that of the Organisations we represents.
