*CWU ON SOLOMON “KALUSHI” MAHLANGU DAY* *06 April 2011*
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) today remembers one of our own, a leader of the African National Congress (ANC), a Commander of the UMkhonto We Sizwe (The Spear of the Nation) and the son of the soil, Cde Solomon “kalushi” Mahlangu. In view of the fact, that this month is regarded as hero’s month, we remember Solomon “Kalushi” Mahlangu and other fallen heroes as fearless and brave leaders who would not allow leaders to insult journalists and leadership, tarnishing and backstabbing our own Comrades through media and other forms of counter revolutionary tendencies. Kalushi as he was popularly known, did not regard himself as an independent thinker in his organisation, he always knew that he belonged to an organisation that he loved and was guided by the principles and discipline of this organisation that he died for and he will not go outside his own organisation like what we have seen in previous time. We believe that Kalushi will be turning in his grave to hear that his own comrades are fighting for tenders and killing one another for power. This is not what this gallant leader fought for and died for during the dark days of the minority regime. He always knew that leaders are elected to lead and serve the people, not to enrich themselves at the expense of the poorest of the poor. As CWU, we are inspired by Kalushi, a true revolutionary and fearless leader who would not connive with the media to tarnish the integrity of his own comrades. CWU will honour this leader by organising its members in all sectors particularly the Western Cape to oust the DA and put ANC into power, because we are guided by his words when he said: "*My blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom. Tell my people that I love them. They must continue the fight."* CWU is going to continue the fight in the coming local government elections and take over Western Cape from DA. * * *Contact:* *Matankana Mothapo, National Spokesperson - 0827590900* -- You are subscribed.
