Comrades, I think we are entangling ourselves in legal and petty arguments on the contest for hegemony within the South African society. I may not be capable of objectively analysing the political terrain currently, but I am not convinced that we are performing well under the circumstances.
Firstly, it is almost an illusion to think that legally our revolutionary argument around the congress of the people and the freedom charter will grant us sole ownership of these heritage. The struggle was not a legal case study, we need to fight for it in the hearts and minds & soul of our people. What we are currently doing is to show that we are underdogs, losing hegemony of our struggle credentials in the process. Secondly, failing to comply with the system we created is frankly irresponsible and a sign of an administration and leadership that is not focused, or no leadership at all. How can the ANC fail to register candidates for an election? When did we start running out of comrades to deploy? I'm still to read about what the organization is doing to whoever is failing the organization. All I hear, painfully, is that we will challenge such mistakes in court. Not even members of the ANC are impressed by this ineptness, let alone those vacilating members of civil society. Surely we cannot afford to continuously portray a failing ANC. It will be progressive to go back to basics. Work in branches, and win hegemony within the masses regardless of who calls him/herself congress or convention of the people. Let's be brutally honest to any comrade who fails the ANC, even if it is an NEC member, we cannot afford to campaign and fail in court every fortnight and still hope that our people's confidence in the ANC will remain will remain unshaken.
