The people of South Africa will lose the sovereignty of this country if they keep on getting fooled into attacking their own government.
If there are supposed to be more jobs, then there will have to be more employers. Where do you think those employers are going to come from? Please don’t also forget that there has to be “circulation” (Karl Marx’s word). It means that what is produced, must be sold. Who is going to buy? If you start thinking with a clean sheet of paper, and if you are honest, then you are going to come to a conclusion that something like BRICS is necessary, and I mean a BRICS that includes both India and China. Yes, we do want to have the elephant in the room! The elephant must stay in the room, and be made welcome in the room. Or, do you want to be with the other guys, who happen to be the ones who historically oppressed the country, which India didn’t do? In that case you will have the “Fitch downgrade” hanging over your head, and the withdrawal of AGOA hanging over your head, and many other forms of coercion and blackmail, hanging over your head, forever. Do you know that India was the first country to institute a boycott of South Africa, straight after the National Party adopted formal apartheid here? VC P.S. Viva The New Age, Viva!

I thought it was just a little irritation. this was well orchestrated plan to by Guptas opportunists. the ANC seems to be long sold, the premier league is an extension of the continued capture of the movement and state. the people of South Africa will win the sovereignty of this country.

It is becoming clearer now that whenever Sabela is at respite of ideas to make himself and his personal accumulation path relevant in the body politic of the province, he turns to his farce of an insidiously personalised crush on Cde Themba Mthembu. We wish to remind Thanduxolo Sabela that no person in the movement, especially at this current epoch in the province, has a responsibility to defend inkabi (hitman), criminals, thugs and commercial racketeers. This we believe is the warning made by Cde Themba Mthembu on behalf of the collective of SACP in the province. To quote the SACP statement “We are not going to allow criminals to hijack our alliance and we call upon all alliance partners to stop criminals hijacking our structures, let our structures belong to the people not to criminals, thugs and commercial racketeers.” If Thanduxolo Sabela has any contestation to this statement, it can only mean that he himself is part of the agenda of stealing the structures of the movement from the people, hence this scathing attack on the SACP which they deem as a bottleneck to their malicious intention. We are even more disturbed by the silence of the ANC Provincial Executive Committee at this blatant attacks on their alliance by the Thanduxolo’s ANCYL leadership clique. As it seems to be a tacit support of the malicious intent carried by the latest of Thanduxolo Sabela’s statements. We were even more taken aback by the remarks made by the ANC’s Mdumiseni Ntuli who in the New Age was quoted saying “there’s a sense of logic to what the youth league is saying.” A clear indication that Thanduxolo Sabela’s attack on the SACP is fully supported by senior leaders in the ANC leadership. However it must be noted that this silence by the ANC is nothing new to us as the YCLSA, we have become accustomed to their desensitized attitudes these attacks on the movement and the Alliance. If the ANC and its young want to be heard now chastising Cde Themba Mthembu on the attempts of the SACP in speaking out against what they deem as serious threats to the movement, then we can only wonder why they have been so silent on the devastating turn of events in the province recently, to count but a few: 1. The gunning down of the SACP Branch Secretary Cde Dumisani Zwane at Ward 43 eNtuzuma. Allegedly involving members and acquaintances of the ANC. 2. Killing of our people at the stronghold of the ANC, which is Glebelands Hostels. 3. Killing of our people at KwaNdengezi, again another stronghold of the ANC. Allegedly involving even a PR councillor of the ANC. 4. The recent foiled assassination attempted (which we believe was supposed to be the assassination of Cde James Nxumalo) at an SACP Community Meeting, at yet another ANC stronghold, resulting in the tragic death of 3 people, allegedly at the hands of an ANC Ward Councillor. Yes a Ward Councillor is alleged to have participated in the shooting of the very same community he is deployed to service, and the ANC YL wants to chastise Cde Themba Mthembu. 5. The recent assassination of Cde Joe Dlamini at the offices of an ANC lead municipality in Pietermaritzburg. 6. The alleged hit list doing the rounds at Moses Mabhida Region of the ANC, which contains only names of ANC and SACP members. 7. The recent violence at Kokstad, where comrades were found ravaging each other with chairs at a constitutional meeting. These are but only a small portion of recent events that we believe are supposed to be of concern to the entire movement instead of this personal attack on Cde Themba Mthembu. To be noted also is that these are all events involving members of the ANC, taking place at strongholds of the ANC. Which prompts the question; “if the ANC is not concerned about its members, then who is it servicing and concerned about? Why the ANC and its youth wing are silent on these criminal, thugs and izinkabi running an invective in the province? Could it be because these criminals, thugs and izinkabi are defending the factional interests of the Provincial Leadership clique of the ANC? WHY IS THE ANCYL NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE KIND OF ANC THEY ARE LIKELY TO INHERIT? Let us also remind Thanduxolo Sabela and Mdumiseni Ntuli as well their clique, that there is not a deployment process in the movement that is solely of the ANC. Cde Themba Mthembu is deployed to the service of the movement through the ANC. It is therefore an extremely sad version of opportunism to demand that he steps down, for defending the same movement. Besides the Thanduxolo Sabela clique’s insatiable, factional appetite for deployments, we invite them to disappoint us as the YCLSA for once and show concern for the people’s movement. Conclusion As the YCLSA we are very much aware of an elaborate plan to tarnish and politically dislodge the leadership of the SACP, particularly the General Secretary Cde Blade Nzimande, the 2nd Deputy General Secretary Cde Solly Mapaila and our Provincial Secretary Cde Themba Mthembu. We are aware that this plan is led by the very same person who is responsible for the disunity and political instability in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. The very same person who can be said to be responsible for fermenting political decay within our movement. A person who is presently leading the project of handing over the ANC to the capital (highest bidder). We call on all ANC YL members, who are concerned about the aspirations of young people in the Province to avert a repeat of a serious farce. To fight against this iNkatha-rization of the ANC YL. To ensure that the ANC YL reverts back to being an organization of young people and not an organization that represents the accumulative, factional deployment appetites of the leadership clique.
