YCLSA Northern Cape Press Statement April 7, 2013
YCLSA Northern Cape PEC Statement The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] in the province held its 3rd Plenary Session from the 04th -05th May 2013 in Kimberley under the theme “YOUTH FOR SOCIALISM”. The Plenary Session was attended by all PEC members, Districts Chairpersons and Secretaries, the National Committee Deployee as well as our allies, COSAS and SASCO. The PEC received the Political, Organizational and Financial Reports which dealt comprehensively with the state of the organization as well as both the International, National and Provincial contemporary political developments. Youth Accord and NDP Amongst others, the PEC discussed in greater detail the Youth Employment Accord and its implications for the youth of the province with focus on strategic collaborations to be led by government and cooperation between youth , government, business and labour in addressing the challenges we face around joblessness. The PEC also welcomed the National Development Plan as a living document subject to refeinement,a daptation and change because we all agree that our progressive government needs to plan to be able to deliver on its mandate derived from its people. NYDA The PEC calls on the urgent appointment of a properly constituted Provincial Board of the NYDA. The appointment of suitable Provincial Board is also long over-due, which must reflect not only a balance in terms of gender, race, and structures, but also to mirror relevant knowledge and skills, experience and capacities to properly implement youth policies and serve the vulnerable and rural youth of the Province. The allies present at the PEC supported the move and calls for the Progressive Youth Alliance Summit which will focus on the orientation and outlook of the NYDA.The PEC also called for the review of salaries and some of the existing programmes of the NYDA. Programme of Action for May and July The PEC further received a presentation from the SACP Provincial Secretary and COSATU Provincial Secretary who emphasized the importance of mobilizing and strengthening young workers formations at the workplace and in all other sites of struggle. The PEC adopted a Program of Action (May-July) which will focus amongst others on the following: · Public lectures focusing on Heroes and Heroines in areas where we do not have structures · Cleaning and greening our communities · Landscape and refurbishing of public buildings · Mass literacy campaign · Saturday schools focusing on Science and Technology Appointment of new Premier The PEC also welcomed the appointment of the new acting Premier and reaffirmed its decision that there is no need for any Cabinet Reshuffle. Finally the PEC gave a stern warning to DA that even if they continue to drum beat lies to our people, their malevolent, and racial and hatred past will continue to follow them. COPE remains a constituent element of counter revolution and whatever they say or do continues to show what they are about and we will meet them in the terrains of people struggles. The PEC reaffirmed its primary focus to advance the lives of young people who continuously believe that the ushering in of a better human society, where the needs of the society supersedes those of individuals, opportunists and exploiters an alternative life is possible in our lifetime.
