Media Release 08th April 2011 POPCRU remembers Cde Chris Hani on the Heroes Month POPCRU has welcomed the 18th Anniversary in commemoration of the life and times of the former South African Communist Party [SACP] General Secretary, Cde Thembisile Chris Hani. Cde Chris was a generation of ANC and SACP Cadres, who took the struggle against apartheid regime on their shoulders and solemnly declared that for them, it was FREEDOM or DEATH! His killing by Janus Waluz on the morning of the 10th April 1993 nearly plunged the country into anarchy and unintended bloodshed. And it was the tenacious intervention of the first democratic President Always we will remember him through his simple interpretation of Marxist-Leninist tools of analysis that “Socialism has to be built here and now in the struggles of millions and millions of workers and the poor. Socialism, he always said, is not built in a dream-world; it doesn’t belong to outer space, or another time-zone. It has to be built here through collective action. It is about simple things-food and shelter and work for the unemployed hands that long to be active. It is about a life of dignity for young and old. It is about simple things, yet so hard to achieve in capitalist world. Socialism is about displacing reckless capitalist greed with solidarity with our fellow human beings, with responsibility for our threatened natural world. Socialism is about common-sense itself-common-sense that is undermined in a capitalist world”. POPCRU adjures all the masses of South Africa to utilize the Local Government moment to honor the late Cde Chris by coming out of their homes in their large numbers and vote the African National Congress-the Spear of the Nation. The government commitment towards the creation of Decent Work is one of the cornerstones of what Cde Chris Hani believed in. It has already been proven through the recent economic meltdown that “there is no middle path between Capitalism and Socialism, and there is only a single path to Socialism; Proletariat Revolution”.
