Comrade, Nicholas.....
It is not correct to say that this is just a view as it was conveyed by comrade Vavi as conclusive, hence the anger. He said that this issue was closed because it was discussed with President JZ and he agreed to a second term. That is not how issues of succession are handled it the ANC. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Malgas, Nicholas Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 8:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Re: YCLSA STATEMENT ON COSATU'S CALL FOR PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA'S SECOND TERM You are very angry comrade and that makes me worried as this is just a view which indeed should go through the structures of the ANC to decide whether he should go for a second term. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of sipho shandu Sent: 09 June 2009 07:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Re: YCLSA STATEMENT ON COSATU'S CALL FOR PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA'S SECOND TERM Cadre Samora and cadre Sakhile, I must however say that i am very dissapointed at cadres who think they can say whatever they want at any given point about an organisation guided by policies and principles like the ANC. When COSATU says that they want cadre Zuma to be president until 2019 they are contradicting themselves as well as the wishes of cadre ZUMA! Prior to the elections Zuma said that he would only stand for one term and thereafter make way for an incoming president of the ANC. Vavi must just get his house in order. One moment he is striking and the other moment he is speaking about a succession plan. What is he on about? What we should focus on right now is the issues of service delivery and beating the financial meltdown crisis we currently faced with. Let me pause cadres!

The struggle continues, Amandla !!!
