Comanda I think you've got exactly the point I have been interested to hear comrades raising it. Comanda I fully support your submission that our forum need to move away from engaging in junk discussion and rather we need to sharpen our IQ and beging to bring in fresh political engagement in our forum.
Let have issues that are organisationally and politically relevant that are needed to be discussed in our forum. Amandla !!!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Makhetha, Mzukisi Sent: 18 November 2008 03:07 To: [email protected] Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] LETS DEBATE, MY ANC, MY FUTURE Dear Comrades I have observe with great disappointment how there are elements who are trying to devalue this important platform of discussion by either being out of context or try to reason the without reason. LETS create a debate. The task that we are faced with in this epoch of shikota’s general confusion is that we need to remind the general public of: 1. What is the MDM 2. What is the ANC, SACP, SANCO and COSATU. 3. The stages of revolution 4. Full resolutions of Umrogoro conference With the above clearly being explained to the masses we will be able to show how the cope is lost, not in the interest of ensuring that the resources and wealth of the country. What the public wants to hear is not the movement defending we must be accelerating in explaining the resolutions of Polokwane, why I started with the 4 items was to ensure that Cdes don’t mobile masses with a defensive tone but with that one of knowing how best the ANC can serve the country under the leadership of JZ. And again just to highlight that so that we able to mobilise for next year general elections. The real treat that our movement face is the laziness of Cdes not wanting to exploit Sundays as great mobilising days but then as great chilling days. Our capability to mobilise beyond expectations is at its greatest test but yet we are not also exploiting the lack of policy of other parties including cope.

Comrade If we want to read this article we will go to the newspapers please dont use this forum to become newspaper re-distributors centre On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 4:06 PM, Smile Ndlovu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This week the Sunday Times reported in its business section on how companies with close links to Industrial Development Corporation chairman, Wendy Luhabe, had benefitted from loans from the IDC as well as a BEE deal. The article, headed "Lolly rolls in for Luhabe," reported that according to the IDC's 2008 annual report the parastatal had approved two R50m loans to the Women's Private Equity Fund - which Luhabe had founded. Another company in which Luhabe had an interest, Wiphold, had also apparently benefitted when "IDS subsidiary, Hans Merensky Holdings," effectively handed over 26% of its wood business to black empowerment partners last year. Luhabe denied any conflict of interest, telling the newspaper that "When there is a transaction from Wiphold or the Women's Fund, management will bring that to my attention. The IDC board has a procedure that makes sure that directors who may be involved in a transaction that has to be decided by the board do not get the paperwork for that transaction and they do not participate in the decision- making on that transaction." In its response to the Sunday Times report COSATU stated that "It is simply not good enough for [Luhabe] to say that she had recused herself from board meetings that made decisions involving her companies. It should be illegal for anyone who has a position in a Development Finance Institution - or any company in which they have a interest - to receive any contracts, tenders or any other form of financial benefit from that body. No-one must be allowed to be on a board that allocates money to their own companies." The SACP also expressed its outrage: "People who serve in public institutions" it noted in a statement, "must not behave like parasites on the resources that are supposed to benefit the ordinary workers and the poor of our country... These Luhabe transactions are a further expression of the extent to which BEE has been captured by narrow parasitic elite, using the state for its own self-enrichment." There is a saying that a man who wants to beat a dog will always find a stick. And clearly Luhabe has made herself a target by backing her husband, former Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa, and his efforts to get an ANC breakaway movement off the ground. This story seems to be a slightly more robust stick than that initially picked up by the ANC Youth League several days ago but the motive is similar. What is rather curious though is that the IDC's involvement with the WPEF has been known for a rather long time. The Fund was launched in mid February 2003. The Sunday Times even reported on it in the Business Times under the heading "Sisters are knuckling down and doing it for themselves." Almost all the facts now causing controversy were reported on then.
