Well said Cde Castro. Please do us a favour now, take this as a media statement to the national Press. This will assist us to respond to the political analysts and media populists that the very same Youth League led by Julias Malema can fight for the youth including Shilowa's son. Those ppopulists have been saying the Youth League is not focusing on critical issues but personalising issues, Let us then give them this statement so that they keep their mouth shut. Aluta Continua!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > *Before Shilowa can lead us, he must look after his offspring’s first!* > > Frederick Engels once wrote ‘that mankind must first of all eat, drink, > have > shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, > religion, > etc’. These words cannot be truer than today, But Engels forget to add > that > men must also look after his offspring’s and family before pursuing > politics. > > The recent public statements by the ANC YL to assist Marvin Shilowa, the > offspring of former Gauteng Premier and ANC renegade Mbhazima Shilowa > bears > testimony to this fact that for Shilowa to pursue politics, and position > himself as a genuine and true representative of our people he must look > after his offspring by providing education, shelter, clothing and food. > > They say the greatest investment any country can make is educating its > youth > for the betterment and prosperity of its country. Consider how many > graduates Shilowa could have financed with the R40 billion spent on > luxurious Gautrain and which his child could have benefited immensely to > pursue his academic studies. > > I am failing to understand Shilowa’s leadership credibility and parental > responsibilities, since he has good taste for expensive wines, clothes and > cigars, when his child cannot go to varsity. This shows how his leadership > qualities are bankrupt and immoral.

Shilowa’s parental > responsibilities are a broader reflection of what kind of leadership do we > have in COPE.
