*Dear Comrade, Gugu Ndima* It is sad that you have left the YCLSA, but wherever you are going you should remain true to your convictions and love for humanity. You will forever be a rose that defied nature by growing inside apartheid slums of Vosloorus and learned to speak against the brutal and barbaric Capitalist system.
Owing to your class background, you refused to be co-opted by the system as personified by Khanyi Mbau and the ‘apolitical’ Ayoba youth of today that stays in Sandton and Knysna. Your articulations or sound-bites were like spewing on the face Barak Obama, the CEO of the capitalist ruling class in the world. Your deep hatred of class exploitation and inequalities is like your grandmother or grandfather’s hatred of what Verwoerd apartheid system did to dehumanize our people. Your smile mirror’s the happiness that awaits the working class in a Socialist Republic of South Africa. Your appetite for revolutionary knowledge consumption is enough to feed the working class youth with the teachings of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Alexandra Kollontai, as espoused by Joe Slovo, Govan Mbeki, Mzala Nxumalo, Lillian Ngoyi and Ruth First. Your love for the masses and the struggle for a just and humane South Africa is like your Gogo’s melodic early morning hymn – ‘*Jerusalema ikhaya elingcwele’*. If Ruth First could wake-up from her resting place in Mozambique, she should be proud to see a young, female, Marxist-Leninist aspirant like you, dearly committed to the struggle for Socialism. She will be happy to see that the struggle to defeat patriarchy does not rely on one being co-opted into a Board of a JSE owned-company or be a Cabinet Minister, but will require constant mobilisation and massification of ideological clarity amongst the working class and poor women. You are part of that generation that is needed today to propagate the ideas of the working class in the public discourse, amidst the failures of capitalism to meet the needs of our people. The situation is ripe in the public discourse for us to assert and make hegemonic the ideas of the working class, as opposed to rushing to muzzle journalist(who are workers too) through the establishment of the Media Appeals Tribunal (MAT). The MAT will not advance the class struggle neither will it deliver Socialism! All the best and thanks for serving the YCLSA with care and love. Your contribution and personal sacrifices you took are engraved in the hearts of millions of young people, from Diepsloot to Zwide, who are yearning for uFasimba to smash Capitalism so that they conditions can change for the better. Through your short spell with the YCLSA, you managed to keep the red flag flying high in the theatre of ideas! Unlike Tso you did not get the boot, but you decided to continue pursuing the struggle in a different terrain! Remember your new deployment will not be televised…But will be tweeted! The struggle continues…! *Goebells* On 6 April 2011 11:15, Phumlani Dlamini <[email protected]>wrote: > Farewell Gugu! > > > > It is said that you have resigned in order to pursue your studies, so good > luck with your studies. > > > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *[email protected] > *Sent:* 06 April 2011 09:13 > > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [YCLSA Discussion] Re: [YCL Press Release] YCLSA APPOINTS > NEW SPOKESPERSON > > > > Thank u Dominic > > I honestly would have not been able to do it without u and your patience > > As I always say "u rock" LOL!! > > But I remain active and who knows, u might see me pop up elsewhere in the > near future!! > > Thanks VC > > Sent via my BlackBerry from Vodacom - let your email find you! > ------------------------------ > > *From: *Dominic Tweedie <[email protected]> > > *Sender: *[email protected] > > *Date: *Wed, 6 Apr 2011 07:04:30 +0200 > > *To: *YCLSA EOM Forum<[email protected]> > > *ReplyTo: *[email protected] > > *Subject: *[YCLSA Discussion] Re: [YCL Press Release] YCLSA APPOINTS NEW > SPOKESPERSON > > > > > > Thanks for everything Cde Gugu. > > > > You will find opportunities serve again in the future. > > > > > > VC > > > > > > On 6 April 2011 06:53, Gugu Ndima <[email protected]> wrote: > > *YCL APPOINTS NEW SPOKESPERSON* > > *5 APRIL 2011* > > The YCL National Working Committee (NWC) has appointed Cde.
