Cde Life did well by clarifying that indeed YCL does have a program and that throwing insults around when scared of debates, will not advance the NDR. Please cadre, do not do the same thing you condemning as well YCL in your province seems to be very active, keep it up

There is a programme of action in the YCLSA, and fortunately we don’t take advantage of the platforms set for certain purposes to speak our mind. We speak our mind through our programmes. Under our leadership in just about 12 months in office, the National Secretary came thrice in this province. Firstly, he spent full three days in a massive elections work interacting with the community and the majority of the working class youth in three districts of the YCL in this province. Secondly, with elections he also visited Tumahole, and preached the gospel on the victory of the African National Congress. Thirdly, he came to address the historic second Provincial Council of the YCL in the Free State. And this is only about the NS. We have done a lot as the YCL this year only; on our record we have assisted young people who struggled to access their ‘blue card’ following their retrenchments. We, together with YCL leadership visited the correctional centre in Harrismith to interact with the inmates and asses the work of the Warders and challenges they are facing. We as YCL visited schools which had arrogantly refused to allow the formation of Cosas, and today we have it there. We launched Kabelo Thibedi in Josie Mpama and Tisha Vhanga districts where about 3000+ ID’s where issued to help young people to access grants, jobs, education etc. We visited through our branches more than 40 schools in the province on record on our Joe Slovo Right to Learn Campaign, assessing the conditions of learner environment, accessibility and proximity of tavern to schools giving impetus the culture of teaching and learning. We fought against a school principal who suspended learners on the basis of their pregnancy in Clocolan High with disregard to their constitutional right to education. We together with SASCO fought the student struggle against the financial exclusions in CUT Welkom campus, UFS and CUT main campus. The reason why today SASCO came out victorious in the recent SRC elections which saw the first historic black president at UFS is twin revolutionary work of the YCL, SASCO and the ANC. And no other organistion in the province has achieved what we have achieved programmatically working together with the progressive forces. YOU SEE… WE DO NOT NEED A BLACK MESSIAH EITHER TO TELL US ABOUT PROGRAMME… What does he know about the programme by the way? I am sure he cannot wait to hear about the funeral of another prominent politician, so he can continue his hooliganic remarks. He can’t wait to hear about a similar Caster Semenya Debacle so he can use his blue lamp to undermine traffic officials to go and spit uninformed racist comments. I think you comrades have seen how costing it can be to send someone blank and without understanding of student struggles and tertiary dynamics to UFS. Today, cde Chabana Chabana, the deputy Chair of SASCO is going up and down to clear up the mess so that SASCO regains confidence of the students. He has no choice, because come next year we will lose again what we oft might win. This is the aftermath of ‘senseless radicalism’ and political nigampoogism. Ke ra gore gabotsebotse pele motho a bula molomo wa gagwe o ditjhila, a be a itse hore na o bolela ka eng. This is characterization of the shabby symbols of the by-gone shenanigan. We are not going to be threatened by people who took a leave away from the classroom to make those who studied feel ashamed of the knowledge they acquired. Buti, is an organic intellectual. He is a product of our movement and unlike many, he was produced by SASCO hence his high level of intellect and sophisticated intonation. RE TLA DULA RE MO THEKGA MANAMELA. The fact that some people are now in the leadership positions does not make them more ANC than others. It cannot be correct also to remind people how skeleton were they few years back, always wearing inelastic Red T-shirts of the National Union of Mineworkers. They might also have to remind us whether they were born rich with stomachs running down like fat cats today and atleast with some hake mouth that’s never closed, because the stomach is full. If you don’t know how to substantiate on issues you have placed on the table, do not cloud discussions with insults and the mimicking others. BECAUSE IF YOU TOUCH BUTI, YOU TOUCH ONE OF OUR OWN.THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR HIS HEAD, THEY WILL NOT SUCCEED. Written by cde.
