*The YCLSA Gauteng’s response to attacks on YCLSA and SACP leaders by one
Julius Malema*
* *
*25 November 2009*
The Young Communist League of South Africa (YCLSA) in the province of
Gauteng notes the continued weak attacks of the YCLSA and SACP leaders by
one loosely structured Julius Malema who suffers from verbal diarrhoea. In
an article that appeared in a daily newspaper Sowetan, on Monday 23 November
2009, Julius is attributed to be saying that the YCLSA does not have a
programme of its own and membership. If this is true it would not be the
first time without any success that Julius attempts to kill for his handlers
all YCLSA members. As such we have no reason to be afraid of him. Julius is
also attributed to be levelling a meaningless allegation that communists,
and by extension the YCLSA, want to turn the ANC into a Communist Party.
To set the record straight, the YCLSA is alive, has a programme and not just
members, but quality members, well trained activists who can provide Julius
with the political education he direly needs.
To mention but at least only two components of the YCLSA programme that are
aimed at securing the momentary interests of young workers: in line with the
2008 National Alliance Summit resolutions we have been actively campaigning
for a review of all outsourced services with an intention to bring them back
into government; we have also been campaigning for the abolition of labour
brokers. In this for instance as the YCLSA in Gauteng we have zealously as
a reliant force been working together with the South African Trade Unions
(COSATU), some of its affiliates, South African Student Congress (SASCO),
Congress of South African Students (COSAS) and the many young workers who
suffer from the brutality of labour brokers. This includes young workers
whose work is outsourced from government. By the way Julius is a *
tender-preneur*, not a genuine entrepreneur but a parasitic petty capitalist
who relies on political proximity to different spheres of government and
associated tenders.
We have no reason to be threatened by a disrespectful Julius’s empty
rhetoric that is aimed at entrenching accumulation from taxpayers’ monies
through an attempt to derail the National Democratic Revolution (NDR) into a
*Tenderlution* (T) – parasitic capitalist struggle for survival from
tenders. We support all parents to continue motivating their children; and
all young people, Black and White to, prioritise education. We call on all
parents to intensify efforts in teaching their children the dangers of
learning from Julius.
As the YCLSA in Gauteng we will be convening in our 11th Provincial
Executive Committee (PEC) Plenary Session from the 4th – 5th December 2009.
Organisational and political issues that our PEC will deal with include a
re-emerging trend from within our ANC-led National Liberation Movement (NLM)
to isolate ANC-SACP members with an intention of suppressing and denying
them or curtailing their participation rights. In this regard we shall
comprehensively respond by all means at our disposal to anti-communists and
anti-trade unionists agenda that Julius, his handlers and others have
adopted. We shall defend our ANC-led NLM from being hijacked for narrow,
patronage-based and self-centred capitalist interests that will stop at
nothing including to abuse funerals to pursue its agenda.
We remain committed to a genuine call for the nationalisation and
socialisation, not only of mines, but of all our country’s strategic
resources and services including service delivery.
