If there is nothing that makes the comrade fail in his duties as the General Secretary then there is no need to unseat the comrade.By the way, who are these people that are 'interested' in unseating the comrade? Are they perhaps threatened by the manner the comrade is dealing with issues as to me there are no contradictions in his role as a communist leader and goverment official

Speaking to close to a thousand members in Rustenburg at the end of the party's Red October campaign, Manamela said those gunning for Nzimande and who want to change the leadership are "drunkards" who are "day-dreaming." "We are going to the special congress of the SACP. We know that there are people who think they are going to use that congress to behead the general secretary of the SACP and will want to change the leadership of the SACP. "It's a small minority. It's people who are dreaming while walking. It's people who live in fantasies. It's not going to happen," said Manamela. He said the Communist Party's youth wing will ensure that Nzimande remains at the helm of the SACP at the party's congress, at which leadership elections will be held. "Nobody will ever change the leadership of the SACP at the special congress. They will have to pass through us as the Young Communist League. "We are not even worried because it's one or two drinking buddies who are either in bedrooms or boardrooms, and begin to discuss the leadership of the SACP," he said. The youth leader said they were unfazed by the calls for Nzimande to quit and for changes in the leadership. "We must say to them, keep dreaming, keep walking, keep being drunk - it's not going to happen. "Come January next year, Blade Nzimande will still be the general secretary of the SACP," he said to the cheering crowd. Manamela also slammed those who say that the SACP has acquired a lot of influence in the tripartite alliance. "We will not allow our mother body, the SACP, to be pushed out of the alliance. We hope Cosatu holds the same view. Those who say the alliance is going to the left, where do they want it to go? Do they want it to go to the right? "That's not what the alliance is for. We are not going to watch as people trample on it." From: http://www.timeslive.co.za/news/article185286.ece Volkswagen of South Africa (Pty) Ltd.
