SACP NW HELD IT`S PEC MEETING. Thursday, July 21, 2011 TH SOUTH AFRICAN COMMUNIST PARTY (SACP) in the North West Province held its first Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) meeting on Sunday, 17 July 2011. The meeting dealt with a range of issues, ranging from political report, District Congresses and Provincial Congress, Election report, list Committee Process etc. Members of the SACP PEC openly and comradely raised issues in a manner that helped us to develop a clear provincial strategy to enhance our political and organizational engagement. In the political report the PEC dealt decisively with issues relating on the Alliance and the challenges facing us collectively and separately, comrades, dealt with the issue of deployment which has led to the current political state which is not in line with the unity and cohesion intentions of the entire movement. The PEC spent time on the issue of corruption in which we re-affirm our stand of fighting corruption at all cost and time we further noted the ongoing corruption in the province and certain municipalities.

NATIONALISATION
The SACP POSITION ON NATIONALISATION HAS NOT CHANGED, the SACP view the views pronounced by the ANC provincial secretary as based on procurecument, and that procurement capacity by mining in the NW therefore mining does not and cannot benefit the people of the province , on the SACP procurement should be a reason for nationalizing mines, because procurement does not benefit the people as a whole it only benefited tender preneurs and the elit. So nationalization should not be divorced from the discussion on the new growth path and the industrial strategy. In our understanding we regard nationalisation as a building block towards Socialism, in the current discussion however, the SACP is warning that because of the global economic recession and its impact on investments, nationalisation unwittingly result in bailing out investors whose investments might have been affected by the global financial crises. As the SACP we are also ideological nationalisation is not inherently progressive, and therefore issue of class character and class interests is essential for the SACP to engage on, as the SACP we reject the view by the ANC that t nationalisation could be reduced to procurements, because procurements have not benefitted the poor and the working class in the province. As the SACP we welcome the decision by the ANC call to the alliance partners to participate on the ANC sub committees including governance committee and the deployment committee, this on its own has to be balanced by the need for an alliance program and the alliance structures meeting in the province, we call for the ANC to ensure co-ordination of the program in the province. As the SACP we are certainly convinced that nationalisation cannot be about bailing other capitalists and tender-preneurs. The SACP will in the coming few weeks call for a bi-lateral meeting with the ANC so that we could ensure that the Alliance is united and continue to advance the NDR in the province. As the SACP in the North West Province we wish DR N.R Mandela a better and revolutionary 93rd birthday and hoping all communists will further implement its campaign of “know your neighborhood campaign” in more than 67 minutes.
