Hayibo comrades! The leaders we need are the ones who are protected by being amongst us and part of us. Never mind it's the government's car, the government shouldn't be buying such smart cars until everyone has access to decent public transport. Our representatives have to live the same lives we do. Until that day, the NDR is stalled at the national without the revolution.

You see, the greatest enemy of the National Democratic Revolution is infact our own comrade, this comrade infact do not have any argument with regard to the car, infact they want to raise their own dissatisfaction of the SG being deployed by the ANC to the government and this are people who works day a night and try their best to destroy our own progressive cadres within the movement, The issue of the SG being deployed in governement its a Party issue and not for this forum, this cadres if they are members of the party and they have a problem with that, they must raise their dissatisfaction to their branches, rather try and deal with character assassination here, infact this cadres if they are indeed progressive cadres, they should have been discussing as to how best can we support the office of the SG in the COSATU House so as to ensure that the work of the party continues, for their iformation, that office has been thus far stregthen to merely deal with their concern. while we acknowledge that this is the constitutional matter but as communist, we would one day want to see the SACP leading the South African State, are we saying that when we reach that stage we must have two centred of powers, NO! i do not think so leaders, infact we were supposed to be proctecting the SG against this tendencies of the special type which has started again, because honestly that is not the SG car rather its a Government car.

I think our comrades (Cabinet Ministers) must lead by example. There is no excuse for our own trusted comrades to fall into the bourgeoisie tendencies of fancy cars and lavish lifestyles, whilst our people are trapped in abject poverty. Comrades must just swallow their pride and take those cars back. COSATU is correct, whether the DA shares the same views or not, by making a public call for the return of the fancy cars. Comrades shouldn't have, in the first place, behaved in an unbecoming manner that will have most of our people sharing the same views with the reactionaries elements such as the DA. But we just can't condone these actions on the basis that we are afraid of finding ourselves sharing the same views with the DA. We know for the fact that ours, as progressive revolutionaries, is a principled matter we are raising, whilst the opposition is just being opportunistic as usual. But I blame our comrades for having allowed the DA and other reactionary forces space to make noise. Let them take back those cars, finish and klaar. We are not going to be black-mailed into defending the wrongs just because they were committed by our own comrades. As communists we are fighting against societal inequalities, we are fighting for a just world and ensuring that everybody meets his/her basic needs, not luxuries. Let the ministers also do with what is basic to necessitate them to execute their responsibilities. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <http://us.mc313.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected] om> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mxolisi Mlatha Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 9:08 AM To: [email protected] <http://us.mc313.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected] om> Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Re: Fwd: [COSATU Press] COSATU says No to ministers' expensive cars Comrades The issue of cars has now become such a big public issue for Ministers. One cannot phathom the indiscretion on the part of some of our comrades who continue to order expensive cars. Let our comrades be brave and return the cars, we need to encourage modest expenditure.
