[YCLSA Discussion] The YCLSA Gauteng’s response to attacks on YCLSA and SACP leaders by one Julius Malema

[Mduduzi H Vilakazi]

Cde Floyd,   Thanks for the piece welcoming Cde Jeremy's input. I thought it would be wise that the ANCYL apologize to Cde Jeremy and the YCLSA membership for the statements attributed to the President of the ANCYL around the issue of the program of action and membership.   Does the Youth League sniff in other organisation's documents. I am directly addressing this to you because you are a member as well as part of the National Leadership Collective of YCLSA. You are also directly affected by the statements uttered by Cde Julius. I do not think that the ANCYL agrees with such statements, thus it will be correct that the ANCYL apologises or distance itself from such utterances.   I hope that you will not respond directly to me but to the issues I have raised above in this forum.   Amandla!!!!!       >>> Nyiko Floyd Shivambu <flo...@gmail.com> 25/11/2009 16:04 >>> ANC YOUTH LEAGUE WELCOMES CDE JEREMY CRONIN’S LATEST RESPONSE: 25 November 2009 The African National Congress Youth League welcomes the input by Comrade Jeremy Cronin posted in the South African Communist Party’s website. We are particularly relieved that Comrade Cronin engages with the Youth League’s call for nationalisation after re-reading the conceptual framework we released in July 2009. The ANC YL also accepts the apology from the Deputy Secretary General of the SACP, Jeremy Cronin who has risen above narrow squabbles and accepts on areas he erred. The Youth League holds Comrade Jeremy Cronin in high regard and appreciates the fact that he is one of the best intellectuals produced by the revolutionary movement in South Africa. Comrade Jeremy’s latest intervention proves that the debate on Nationalisation is a complex question, not meant for those who entered the discussion only trough insults, such as the YCL, the Western Cape and Mpumalanga SACP. Those who lack substance entered the discussion through hurling insults at the ANC Youth League President without comprehending the context and content of what the ANC Youth League says on nationalisation. We call on all structures of the Mass Democratic Movement and activists to always interact with official positions of the Youth League before they engage with us. We are forever open to constructive engagement and appreciate all interventions that will enhance the programme towards Nationalisation of Mines, even on areas where Comrade Jeremy says our conceptual framework in not clear. The ANC YL will moving forward, be engaging with all Progressive forces to consolidate the most coherent, developmental and helpful model of Nationalisation of Mines, which will benefit all people. We are also ready to meet and engage with the leadership of the SACP anytime before June next year.
