Political classes must not end at ANC branches lets expand it to our unions to plant one school of thoughts ----- Original Message ----- From: Dominic Tweedie To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2012 8:48 AM Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] ANC Statement on NUMSA Resolution
ANC Statement, 25 February 2012
NUMSA Resolution
The African National Congress is concerned about the resolution of the
National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa (NUMSA) that calls for the
removal of the current national leadership of the ANC. The ANC respects the
independence of its alliance partners and therefore does not interfere in the
internal democratic processes that elect their leadership. The resolution by
NUMSA is not in line with respect of independence enjoyed by individual member
organisations of the Tripartite Alliance.
The determination of the leadership of the ANC is the sole responsibility of
the ANC branches and the Leagues of the ANC that will be nominating for the
National Elective Conference in December 2012. The position adopted by NUMSA
is tantamount to interference with the internal democratic processes of the
ANC. We believe that there are adequate alliance structures that NUMSA could
have used to communicate whatever dissatisfaction they may have had.
We want to reiterate our commitment to open communication on issues affecting
our organisations and on issues of public policy. We believe that the public
has a role in adding value to our discussions. In our last national elections
we made a bold statement that enjoins us with the broader public to act in
concert to accelerate service delivery and entrench democracy. This therefore
calls for continuous engagement and consultation with our people.
