Comrade Thabo
David Masondo is 100% right in sending out a stern warning to the components of the Tripartite Alliance that are hell bent in marginalising Sacp and treat it as a "begging party". If this persists, Ycl will have no choice but to flex its political muscles. We must not be treated as if we are still locked up in the Pre-Polokwane era. U Fasimba must not be hesitant in raising such problematic tendencies where these emerge. It is an open secrete that Sacp was never properly consulted when the Premier of Free State appointed the Members of the Executive Council (MEC) and finalising other deployments.

Equally I am disturbed by his remarks on the alliance with special reference to Western Cape and Free State Province. He said the following disturbing comments: However, there are still major problems at the provincial level with the functioning of the Alliance, particularly in Western Cape and Free State. "People should understand that the SACP is not a begging party. The SACP is a working class party. Therefore, if the relations between the SACP and ANC leadership in these provinces, we will encourage our SACP structures to contest the next local government elections and the next general elections at the provincial level". I totally don't agree with this statement and I view it at as reckless politically because it bothers on undermining the victory and progress we making as the party to transform the ANC, into a party that respect its alliance partners. How on this political cruel earth of capitalism can we even toy with the idea of breaking away from the ANC led Alliance without figthing tendencies that are synonimous with the era of Cde Thabo Mbeki, which is side lining the alliance partner. The political propspect of building a true ANC under Cde J Zuma led collecive looks much more positive and we should not be discouraged by minor cases in only two Provinces. informed by his well nurtured progresive political orientation, I was expecting Cde David to read out a political riot-act to all those who are busy undermining the importance of a well functioning political alliance. We should in actual fact refrain from making statements that insinuate that this allaince is conditional. Our is a tripartide alliance that should respect one another independence but equally that should have an equal say in how we govern our country towards the creation of a better life uring freedom in our life time. But am consoled by one belief that this alliance will not disintergrate, we will shoulder all the problem and resolve them through open political engagements. With regard to the Free State Province I know that the ANC PEC is progressively working to strengthen the alliance, I actually don;t know why Cde David is refering to the Free State Province as a problem one. Despite personal issues which I still believe can be resolved and are not political the allaince is well oiled in the Free State Province led by Cde Besani, Parkies and Mashinini as alliance secretariat. It is only through engagement and respect for each other that we will triumph over adversities towards a proper functioning tripartite alliance. Together as the progresive motive forces of the NDR we can do more to improve our people living condition angainst the imperialist onslaughter.
