Cde Sabelo, It will be wrong for us to assume that branches have spoken even on deployees that are failing in their area of deployment. Despite the fact that I was not supporting the collective that emerge I am the first to say we will respect the wishes of branches irrespective of what we wanted to put as a team to propel Gauteng going forward. One of the issue as an ANCYL leader in my branch is the continued misunderstanding or disregards of fussing in new young blood in the body politics of the ANC. yes branches have spoken. The continued elections of Mayors who are failing our ailing Cities to lead, is a disregards of the concept of people shall govern. I live in Tshwane, and things are not jelling and how could you explain the leapfrogging of Cde Gwen to be Deputy Chairperson when she can manage the Capital City. What type of Gauteng are building? Yes branches have spoken and we respect that. That does not say we cant do a post analysis of the impact of slates in our body politics today. The impact of these slates negate the requirement to clearly do an anti-thesis of any deployment we so wish. In the process even good cdes are being compromised because they do not belong to a particular slate. Hence I am saying the ANC has a lot to learn from the Party in terms of identifying a capable cadres to lead our revolution. When one slate win over the other, does not mean cdes are not rooted in branches. It also about who controls administration that disqualifies those branches that hold a different views. Hence when we say power is in the branch, we should respect the wishes of teh branches irrespective of our desire. The very same delegates that chooses Cde Mashatile and Cde Mokonyane are from branches and as such its about horse trading which happened at the Conference. Let me give a full picture. Tshwane until the morning of Voting had 3 Cdes contesting for the Deputy Chair, Cde Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa, Cde Bafana SIbisi, Cde Gwen Ramomopa and on true analysis, you will agree with me that in the manner I have put them Gwen is the last resort to take our Province forward, but won on the basis of block vote and on the basis of the slate which she belongs. She for example did not have the much support as Cde Figho Madlala from Ekurhuleni before he decline in favour of Cde Bafana as they were in the same slate. The same happened to Cde Father in favour of Cde Gwen. Here at this conference there was nothing about the power of branches but the power of money period. We could tell you of the promise that cdes were offered for going with Paul, including absorption into the Municipalities, etc. Hence I said yes branches have spoken and only a true analysis of what happened will marshal us to the future. We will remain loyal and bound by democratic centralism and there is one leader in the Province Cde paul Mashatile, whether he came in whatever forms we should rally all ANC members to support the collective leadership irrespective of our wishes. I remain, Cde Tom Mutshidza

Also shows that smear campaign is not an effective tool,branches as you have said are vital.Cadres need to start doing work at branch level,in order to be rooted. What can you say on lists or maybe bulk voting according to lists ?

Our comrades must learn that they must participate in the branches to defend proud traditions like respect for democratic centralism which lacks from the TG of our movement unfortunately.
