"We view these reports as unnecessary and form part of the anti-Zuma campaign waged by newspapers since that off the record briefing they received from Bulelani Ngcuka. As students we view the public discussion of such aspects of old peoples lives as embarrassing and un-African.
We are utterly disgusted and shocked that DA leader Helen Zille has the temerity to discuss Zuma*s sexual life when she cried foul when the ANCYL questioned her sexual behavior. We will never entertain discussions about the sexual life of either Zuma or Zille because both of them are adults in our society." Agreed Agreed Agreed and more Agreement on this one and others. Let those who want to entertain that do so but please do not extent your hidden dislike for Baba Zuma to us although we will listen. By the way,its a known fact that some amongst us especially the self-appointees of any sort dislike President Nxamalala (because of many reasons including "false superiority syndrome" of any sort). However, they kept silent, in fact some of them were sudden die-hards advocates for the defence of Zuma but today are singing a different tune the under guise of whatever. Anyway, thina asinandaba simthanda enjalo uBaba wethu ngoba siyazi alikho isonka elingenasigci salo. As a member of Sasco in good standing, I would have loved a situation wherein Sasco NEC challenges comrade Minister of Education and Training to ban outsourcing of labor and other services in all institutions under his command. The current Minister of Police- who after attending 3 ANCYL-organized political classes conducted by him ,I can certainly contend he does not share a socialist perspective at least in my view- has banned them. This is more important since our mothers and fathers are paid wages below the "acceptable/legislated living wage" and some are insulted by 'self-appointed superior' and old white, Indian and colourds supervisors. This morning, I came close to insulting back one Indian supervisor who was scolding at one Aunt (a contracted cleaner in our residence) for going to the toilet for approximately minutes. However, I did register my 'alarm' at the manner in which she treated her and the ill-mannered and poorly educated Indian bustard was forced to reluctantly apologize. Moreover, fee increases which are normally incongruent to student services offered are said to be the direct result of outsourcing of labor and other services. Finally, I hope that the talk shop on NSFAS and other issues will result in overturning all loans to 100% bursaries if one passes at least 70% of his/her modules. For others, 80% bursary and 20% loan period. I will raise this issues in the next BGM of Sasco. Sasco Lives, Sasco Leads >>> Dominic Tweedie <[email protected]> 2/2/2010 11:58 AM >>> Statement of the first NEC meeting of SASCO Speech in SASCO NEC meeting by Minister of Higher Education We note and welcome the fact that the Minister of Higher Education and Training has been energetic in responding to problems in the Higher Education sector, particularly during the registration period. We hope that his energy will produce results. We call on the Ministry of Higher Education and Training not only to be energetic but firm in dealing with arrogant institutions. We note the Information given to us by Dr. Nzimande that the NSFAS Review Committee Report will be released for public consumption shortly. We are itching to see recommendations of this committee, and hope that our input that suggests the introduction of Free Education is included. If Free Education does not feature in this NSFAS Review Committee Report, we will be at war with both the Minister of Higher Education and Training and the NSFAS Review Committee. Attacks on students by PASMA and PAC militias in TUT We condemn with utter disgust the barbaric attacks on students by PASMA and PAC criminals disguised as students. One of our members is in ICU fighting for his life because of the attacks by dagg a smoking PASMA and PAC members. We are convinced that these PASMA members are not only smoking but selling dagga in TUT and the plant that was found there belongs to one of them. We are also aware that our members have discovered that PAC has been conducting military training camps within the premises of the institution. We are not going to tolerate violence towards our students by a half-trained PAC militia. We will not be romantic when PASMA is violent towards our students and members. Before we do anything drastic, we call on the Minister of Police and the Police Commissioner to act decisively towards these brazen criminal elements.Nationalization The NEC re-iterates its support for the Nationalization of Mines and will work hand in hand with all those who support this call, both in the ANCYL and the SACP. The nationalization of mines will enable government to fund free education. Otherwise we call on government to increase corporate tax in order to fund education tax, particularly, on the cigar-smoking big bourgeoisie. We are ready to mobilize all South African students for the success of nationalization. COSATU Boycott We support the boycott of Coca Cola and SAB products by COSATU and we call on our members and students in general not to buy any Coca Cola and SAB products until COSATU calls its boycott off. We are prepared to reject any Coca Cola and SAB products that enter universities. There are various other soft drink and liquor companies that can quench the thirst of students South Africans better than Coca Cola and SAB can ever imagine. Our parents are struggling to pay our education, let alone registration fees because of the peanuts they receive as salaries from these super-greedy capitalist entities. From now on, we will join COSATU in all their protests designed to increase salaries of our parents. Media reports on ANC President and his family life We condemn the irresponsible reports on President Zuma*s personal life by journalists who have no respect for the elderly. We view these reports as unnecessary and form part of the anti-Zuma campaign waged by newspapers since that off the record briefing they received from Bulelani Ngcuka. As students we view the public discussion of such aspects of old peoples lives as embarrassing and un-African. We are utterly disgusted and shocked that DA leader Helen Zille has the temerity to discuss Zuma*s sexual life when she cried foul when the ANCYL questioned her sexual behavior. We will never entertain discussions about the sexual life of either Zuma or Zille because both of them are adults in our society.
