*YCLSA mourns Bajabulele Masombuka* *29 June 2009*
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] mourns the death of Bajabulele Masombuka, the host of popular SABC 1 show Ses’khona. We take this opportunity to dip our red banners and pay homage to this young heroine and a product of the apartheid and Bantu created working class slums. We extend our deepest and profound condolences to the Masombuka family and to her colleagues in the entertainment industry. Her departure from our midst is not only a loss to her family, but it is also a loss to the millions of working class and poor young people who we were inspired by her persona and sizzling talent. We applaud her for sharing her talent and life with working class and poor young people in the midst of socio-economic challenges of joblessness, hunger, HIV/AIDS infections and academic exclusions faced by the majority of poor young South Africans. Her death should propel us as the working class and the poor youth to fight and demand a truly public broadcaster – the SABC – whose programmes caters for the interests and aspirations of young people as opposed to the whims and dictates of the capitalist market. We call upon the SABC to honour Masombuka and flight relevant and informed programmes that respond to the pressing challenges and aspirations of young people Issued by YCLSA Head Office 1 – 5 Leyds Street, COSATU Hse, Braamfontein Contact: *Castro Ngobese* *YCLSA National Spokesperson – 082 567 3557* --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are subscribed.
