Dear comrade Mzu, I think there was more the NEC took into consideration when deciding to challenge the use of the name Congress of the People, not COPE as such. There are tactical consideration out of this challenge, and I'm certain some of them have delivered intended objectives already. There is more to this issue than just a legal challenge.

Percy, I have to agree with you more. We cannot allow
ANC to become laughing stock. About COPE winning the case, I am sorry
even the way decision taken by NEC to contest the name in the court of
law. What we done we popularize COPE more than before. I think we arrive
to a time to agree that this revolution is challenged and those who are
challenging it they more capital power than us. Then the biggest
question is, what is that the people of South Africa deserve? Can we
manage to give them? How are we going to engage on reaching them?
The confident we had right now should be utilize to
benefit the people those who have love for their country and their
people. I think we arrive to a place where we should stop all this
intervention let the people speak.

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.

Dear: Comrades
Am utterly dissapointed that again the courts of this
country have failed
to distiguish facts from opinions by ANC dissidents.
Or either the legal team representing us were unable to
use documented
historical facts to argue that COP is part and parcel of
the furniture of
the ANC.
I am very much worried about the weight of our argument,
read both
affidavits on www.thetimes.co.za
<http://www.thetimes.co.za/> for further reference.
It is a well documented historical facts that COP was
first mooted in the
ANC circles and the 1953 CAPE Conference in Cradock
adopted a Proposal to
convene a convention of South Africans which was made by
the late, then
ANC President of CAPE Prof Zachariah Keodirelang
Mathews.
COP is our own comrades, irrespective that we invited
other organisation o
serve on the ANC adopted NAC.
I think we must appeal, this judgement.
