I find it difficult to apprehend your assertion here Cassey, you seems to suffer from the very same sickness you are labelling others to be. On contrary, visits to schools at the beginning of the year are nothing new in the congress movements. Be it to encourage and also to assess the level of shambles in our own schooling system. Yes Mangaung resolved on Youth Development Programmes but not that they should be run by the ANCYL, we have deployed cde Deputy President to attend to this matter and you might know that very soon just there in enfuleni there will be a structure to deal with this matter. Here we are talking about ability of the ANCYL to differentiate Party and Governance.
In you piece, you fail to provide an alternate to the challenges you have with the President. The bulling or arrogancy cannot be equated to anarchy, which you are propagating against the leadership of the ANCYL. Secondly as the ANCYL we have never gagged any members to raise their views be it correct or incorrect. We provide a platform for us to shape our future. Having said this tell me, if it is wrong for us as the ANCYL members to say to President Malema, you need to go and visit school as they open such that we get an appreciation of the issues affecting these non-performing schools. We need to know why is it acceptable in emfuleni for teaching to be 3 hours and in Joburg or Pretoria is 7 hours? Why the township culture of learning is not there and the suburbia is upheld? Our visits has unleashed some of the issues we ignored on why high failure rates, one the unpreparedness of teachers for the new system and the fact that the State did nothing except taking teachers to two to three weeks course and assume that the mindset will change. The Right to Learn Campaign talk to these issues. Why there is so high pregnancy level in emfuleni and low in Pretoria Suburb? I am saying the organisation is run by SG (Vuyiswa) and the President deal with political work and there is nothing wrong in what he is doing. Your anger is the one that is dealing with you, as you sound like you were a friend of delegates in Mangaung and when told Malema is the President you could not wait to lobby for his head. Yes wait and lobby in your branch to be a delegate and come engage with us as to what issues you have politically with the president. To me respect is very subjective, if the elders are acting in the manner that betrays the aspirations of the masses, we are not going to be silent. Put it the other way, the ANCYL is not a desk of the ANC, its a leagues with its own way of dealing with matters be it organisationally and politically. Know you want us to have personality cult who we must worship and could not differ with them because they are elders, thats only happened in your reference Cope or the PAC breakaway. If there is lack of implementation of programme as adopted in Mangaung and Nasrec, please inform your leadership to inform your Region or Sub-Region to the Province to take it up with the NEC or else wait for the NGC, which coming to vent your frustrations. Or write directly to the SG. I will like to conclude by saying be specific and not speak in parables about the issue you have with any leadership of the ANCYL and we will assist or else we will crush you unintentionally. The very same in public good is what Cde President Malema is advocating and unless you inform us otherwise, we might not know which good custodian you want from the youth league. By the way the weak ANCYL start from the branches. If you are not able to at least allocate 30 minutes for political discussion every BEC or BGM, it means you are adding to weakening the ANCYL. It all start at the basic unit of the movement (Branches). You do it right there, we will see the good will you are talking about. Do you think if the Branches were strong the NEC will even came to the locals and do your work? It is your task in emfuleni to find schools that need assistance and adopt them. When last did you take it upon you to visit a local school principal and ask if there is any task you want the ANCYL to play? Please walk the talk. Kha ri li suke, lo vhewa fungo!!!! Cde Tom Mutshidza >>> "Thabiso Radebe" <[email protected]> 2010/01/28 11:23 AM >>> Maybe we must after all agree, here we are dealing with a paranoia. For how long , how many times . I still don't buy the clumsy excuses of us having to allow Youth Leagues members or its leaders to go on confrontational course with its own ANC senior leadership. To crown it all even ignoring comradely advices given by our Mass Democratic Movement structures. Malema suffers from accumulation of bubble wealth after effects, His capitalist handlers keep so busy in return for his cooption into a patronage driven politics. Innocent and unsuspecting loyal ANC members with thier cult for power by hook or crook . In anyway ANC YL legacy will remain in tact once democratic process have sought out the Bully Vague Malema Animal Farm syndrome. With all due respect this ill-discipline practice has been unnecessarily tolerated and incorrectly allowed to go too far. This must come to an end . For sanity to prevail all sober and visionary ANC- YL members themselves have to recall this rascal. The constitution makes a provision to remedy such conditions of unbearable destructive mode, for me the organizational cohesion ,strength to provide necessary leadership should be exchanged for anything not even insults. All structures starting with provinces must wake up and save ANC YL from degenerating any further. This move has absolutely nothing to do with factional tendencies but a principled matter if we really value the undisputed political contributions made by previous ANC YL leadership collectives .The MALEMA generation must be reminded that they are no different from thier predecessors they seem to have consciously taken a destructive tone, with so very less positive things to be remembered for. Malema disrespecting youth league members by running the organizations affairs like unguided missile this is cheap politicking with falls notion to capture cheap political fame. His forever in the media for wrong reasons . We expect ANC YL that's responsibility in the effort of being good custodians, I am not advocating macro management but we need sound leadership to walk and talk youth development not this sensationalism act .How far is the Malema- NEC collective in implementing the Mangaung/ Bloemfontein conference resolutions ? What the basis of ANC YL structures current Program of Action ? Stop pursuing politics of opposition this no different from the cope or da of this world who just go on rampage abusing our hard fought democracy . ANC elected leaders deserve to given all due respect no matter how we may differ with thier views .. But light of this reality might all be equally be guilty for doing nothing to stop anarchy that being entrenched within our structures ANC YL being used as launching pad . Comrades history is going to punish us very harsh for succumbing to this type of battering politicking a reminiscent of the PAC COPE rebellions. There is nothing revolutionary about Malema drama but only scandalous. But we are also faced with the big challenge of going beyond Malema sage to establish how many of other Malemas out there misrepresenting ANC internal democratic space for members to express thier views . What informs this persistence culture of arrogant defiance on the part of Malema? ALUTA CONTINUA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>> <[email protected]> 2010/01/28 09:20 AM >>> From:Sandile Ngcobo Comments: I wonder how does these visits benefits scholars, and uplift the culture of learning and teaching; or its another publicity stunt. I understand only; The Right To Learn Campaign. Keep Malema out of the schools - Kgalema DEPUTY President Kgalema Motlanthe yesterday sent a message to school principals to lock out ANC Youth League president Julius Malema.
