Comrades, I was in the Portfolio Committee in Cape Town when we made the submissions to the Committee, I did not see a submission from Workers International. I was in Germiston Civic Centre last night, I did not hear a submission from Worker's International and now for Shaheed Mohamed to wtrite in this forum, opportunistically so, and accuse the SACP for no apparent reason is hypocrisy and it must be tolerated. WE debate in this forum and she is not raising a debate but continue with their old campaign of vilifying the Communist Party.
A question that I would like to ask her, are they happy that they encouraged workers to spoil the votes in the Western Cape and contributed to the blunders of some people in the ANC Western Cape to deliver the province to DA? Who is the enemy of the working class, is it the SACP or the DA that they helped to install in the Western Cape through their campaign of encouraging workers to spoil the votes. I am told even in the ILRIG Globalisation School, instead of discussing opportunities that are brought by the crisis of capitalism, they spent inordinate amount of time vilifying Cosatu and the SACP... what are their intentions about the unity of the working class.
