cdes, name calling and playing 'been there done that' will not promote
unity iether. we need to define principles that would bind the student
community and the youth in general in persuit of the better life
for all. is
it still worth it cdes to contest bitterly and coldly the gvt tenders to
deliver substandard services, or should we be taking a stand that gvt must
take responsibility of its mandate and deliver directly on actual
delivarables? should tenders not be limited to materials, expertise,
touchables that facilitate actual work being the product to the people? it
does not make sense in an economy that is heavily dependent on the strength
of the dollar that gvt must pay more than is necessary by creating wealth
for the tenderpreneurs while the masses that need the money, services and
improvement of their existance and the jobs remain spectators in the
development of their dismay. eg. for houses, let the gvt provide the
manpower (EPWP)per sector[ ward or region] and tender for the supply of
cement, bricks, frames, etc; which are bought through the normal gvt
procurement processes- this should limit the wasteful and fruitless
expenditure on fronted companies, buy-to-profitably-sell enterpreneurs,
sellers of materials they have no ownership of, etc. students focussing on
the programs of, say free education upto junior degree, ensuring that
effective learning and teaching happens at school level, necessary
paraphanelia are available for labs; libraries; workshops; etc where they
are needed.
change gear, step up crescendo and defend the right to education of our
beloved nation.

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.

Tenderpreneurs must leave campuses alone!
20 October 2010
We will continue to contest Student Representative Councils (SRC's) in
order to ensure that they maintain their status as institutions whose
values are an expression of peoples' power. 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.
