My understanding, relating to the SACP in
particular, is that the Chairperson's job is to chair the meetings,
while the Secretary's job is to run the structure in between meetings
and to give a political lead, as well.
Therefore, in the SACP, the Chairperson's job, although very important,
is not such as to take up very much time in between meetings.
In a meeting, so long as the Chairperson speaks with the support of the
meeting, he or she is the senior office-bearer at that moment, and will
tell the Secretary what the decisions of the comrades are, which will
have to be recorded as minutes.
In between meetings, the executive head is the Secretary.
At the AGM, the Secretary will give a report of his own, which will be
accepted (or not) by the Chairperson for the meeting, according to the
meetings wishes.
That is the situation in the vanguard party. In the liberation movement
(ANC), the understanding is not quite the same, and in COSATU
affiliates it also tends to be slightly different.

The secretary has an internal focus, while chair has outward focus. In
corporate world the Secretary's office would be the GM of operations
while the Chair would be an executive chairman. Meaning the secretary
has an inward looking role and ensures that branch is able to execute
is constitutional responsibilities. Viz. BEC meetings, BGMs, has and
sticks to its POA and all members are recorded and inducted. In a nut
shell, the secretaries must ensure that the branch remains in good
standing.
The chairperson is to provide strategic political leadership. She must
be able to study and properly articulate the branches view in any and
all forums. Inc. Zonal, regional and alliance meetings. Internally the
chair must assist in marrying the political challenges with an
organisational response with the secretary.

Subject: Re: [YCLSA Discussion] What is Branch SG Role
My understanding is that the SG would much deal with the
administrative functions e.g membership
management,correspondence,calling BEC meetings,arranging venue which
ofcourse would be in between BEC meetings or General meetings.Unless
the General meeting\BEC sitting decides otherwise SG still his/her
discretion to deploy delagates,Decide Venue,time and all logistics.
Issue of consultation ,My take is that consultation does not
means a meeting between the chairoperson and secretary but means to
keep the Head which is chairperson in the loop of what is happening
though ANC is not quite clear about this which in most results in
either Chair controlling the branch or the serious dissagreement with
the secretary.Different branches works differently but in a situation
where there is advance comrades that is whre you encounter procedural
problems and unfotunately the Political induction in most cases does
not include this core chapter.
Some branches if not all of them have no guidelines in terms of
verification of credentials,copy of membership some accept but some
just work without.
But i'm against the issue of everytime things be discussed in
BEC whereas you have got officials to do the job.Remember the concept
of Democratic Centralism-Democracy in discussion and centralism in
carryout the views of majority balance between the two is quite
important we must avoid too much democracy and as well as too much
centralism.
Well correction are welcome.
