But Lazola you are crazy to suggest that the lavish style is a new thing. Maybe you should look closer to why you do not graduate from student politics like all of us. I was a President of SRC and leave normal life. When student's did not have money to register, we took money from the SRC. However because we had a programme, we went and fundraise such that we could deliver on mandate. However others before me leave lavish style and mind you there was no ANCYL or YCL. Hence you views are nonsensical and baseless. The issue of the character of leaders is not a new thing. We have called as convacant for leadership to intervene ininstitutional SRC 's Constitutional develoment that gives this space abuse of these resources. The isntitutional statutes are the one that gives leadership power to do as they wish. An example will be during my era as Branch Secretary and Chairperson respectively, HQ will call for financial support and we provide outside of our direct constituency, I hope that not corruption because we were giving to the movement? For as long as you have institutionalise careerism within SASCO and SRC, these and other challenges will stay for long time.
What then is our task. ANCYL was never established in shebbing or street but in Istitutions of higher learning. YCL was re-launched to respond to the pathetic lives of most SASCO leaders on campus including SRC. Hence I said before you point fingers on what we are doing on campus, you must look at your conducts. When we launched both ANCYL and YCL at TNG (TUT), was not because we are afraid, it was to capture those students who does believe in SASCO's principles or those that does want a middle way as was SASCO until recent in KZN Congress wherein you were clear of your ideological stance. We are not going to run away from the campuses, because it is on campus wherein knowledge and opinions are made. Hence we will as YCL and ANCYL intensify our pre-occupation with issues affecting Universities and Colleges Communities including contesting fot power to give this transformation an impetus that will tomorrow give to real change. SASCO has never pre-occupy itsself with name calling, by the way students as a strata in transit cannot be trusted of its end-state. It is this believe that compell us to enter the societies to contest for space and ideas to inform innocent masses. If this our collective agreement, we should reject this self-centred view as it fails to reconise that Education is one our Apex priority that should guarded by all revolutionary serious. Jeorlously or not we are convinced that the future look bright and all of us have a role to play and let's stop this creation or invention of words to suits our handlers. We know most of those who use these terms are the real beneficiaries. By the way we have proof of cde Vavi for example being a beneficiary of the State Tenders at Department of Minerals Resources, the same goes to Blade through their wives. The list is endless. Now cdes should not spill bile because they are beatten at a tender process and they comeout speaking as if they are holy than though. I have done work and know what I am speaking about and if your handlers have issues they must confront us. Cde Tom Mutshidza Chairperson of ANCYL Mahlambandlopfu Writting in my own capcity.

The moral stature of SRC’s should be jealously guarded against wolves of the capitalist market who want to enrich themselves using SRC’s as an instrument. We have noticed with dismay the encroachment on campuses by the most corrupt elements of society during the recent SRC elections, particularly in the KZN province. We view the sudden interest of the ANCYL and the YCL in SRC elections to be driven by nothing else other than the wish of a small group of leaders who want to enrich themselves through university tenders using Student Representative Councils as ladder. It is these tendencies that promote lavish lifestyles in our campuses. It is these tendencies that contribute to the rise of corruption amongst SRC members. It is these tendencies that erode the ethos of morality and replace them with arrogant accumulation which is pursued with brazen impunity. It is even more shocking that Tenderpreneurs have found themselves space in the Young Communist League. It is shocking that these businessmen are able to lead in Provincial leadership structures of the YCL without the slightest signs of shame. We value the strategic relationship between ourselves, the ANCYL and the YCL, which is named the Progressive Youth Alliance. It has always been an understanding of the PYA that SASCO leads the process of contesting SRC elections and that all components (ANCYL and YCL) support SASCO in this, just like the SACP and COSATU support the ANC during elections. It is in this context that the insistence of the ANCYL and the YCL to contest elections on campuses undermines the unity of the PYA. As SASCO we are committed to the struggle against Tenderpreneurship, the new tendency, and anti-communism.
