25 September 2013 SACP outraged at lack of service delivery in Bekkersdal and Winterveld The SACP conducted door to door and walkabouts over the weekend as part of its Red Weekend on Friday 20th September 2013 and 22nd September 2013 led by the 2nd Deputy General Secretary of the SACP, Cde Solly Mapaila. The leadership of the SACP has been met by appalling conditions in both Winterveld and Bekkersdal in so far as service delivery is concerned. The attitude attributed to public representatives, if by a stretch of an imagination is true, leaves much to be desired. Clearly from reports gathered, public representatives handle our people with much disdain. In certain areas when communities have organised to raise their challenges the public representatives have condemned the leadership role of the SACP. In Winterveld there is a problem with respect to provision of water to our people. In Bekkersdal the township is dirty, there is a crisis of refuse collection and sewerage leakages that poses a health risk to the community. In both areas, despite progress made by the progressive government in delivery, the state of affairs is extremely demoralising. "In Winterveld the three wards we combed showed positive developments with much still needed to be done and the public representatives were not so helpful, the same with Bekkersdal", said SACP 2nd Deputy General Secretary. The SACP was also inspired, as always, by the resilience and unwavering commitment of the people to the liberations forces headed by the ANC, their deep sense of appreciation of revolutionary achievement so far and indeed their love and commitment to the movement to sustain the progress moving forward. The SACP will seek urgent political intervention to address the challenges of our communities in the two areas. The SACP call on our revolutionary movement to immediately go in there and sort out the tardiness towards resolving the problems, and indeed appropriate action should be taken against those who take our democratic mandate for granted. "We call on our structures not to abandon the mass base, the real theatre of working class revolutionary struggles, but to get fully involved to make things right and correct the wrong in a disciplined revolutionary manner. The Party should always be counted on the side of the people and work with them to turn things around", said Mapaila, SACP 2nd Deputy General Secretary. Mapaila further urged SACP cadres who are sometimes unfairly criticized not to give up in rendering service to the community. "We implore on you to continue the work of serving the people, raising the sharp class issues fort-rightly without buying faces and indeed condemn the misconduct of those who don't take their work seriously", he said.
