Thank you for your question Cde Lusuko. I am sure you know the answer. We have to be aware of what is happening and if possible we have to be among the first to be informed of what is happening.
Let me state once again very directly, although it has been well stated here more than once and recently: Posting an article does not by itself imply approval or disapproval. Comrades should be paying attention, whether they intend to approve or to disapprove. This initiative of the renegade Satgar is one of a number of moves, between which one must be able to discriminate very clearly. Last week the Western Cape TAC denounced the Abahlali base Mjondolo and the Abahlalis replied. The Party also partly denounced the Abahlalis. The Western Cape SACP issued a long and very valuable and very frank statement that was to be delivered to COSATU on Friday. During the coming week there will be an event in Boksburg that is a rival to Vishwas Satgar's coming conference. The Boksburg one is billed as a "civil society" conference, and Zwelinzima Vavi will be speaking there, as will the TAC's Mark Heywood. Now this CoDL conference is announced (but without a venue). My opinion is that no conference of NGOs should be held up in comparison with the organic National Democratic Revolutionary Alliance. Such gatherings are ad hoc, which is not to say that they are of no significance at all. The Western Cape SACP statement was very good, in my opinion. I hope you got it. As usual, the way to social, collective learning is through dialogue. Rather than question me, why not give leadership of your own in relation to all these activities, Comrade Luzuko?
