Young Communist League of South Africa (YCLSA) - Gert Sibande District, Mpumalanga MEDIA STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE GERT SIBANDE DISTRICT, MPUMALANGA TO : ALL MEDIA EMBARGO : FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE : 2012-03-14 RE: YCLSA Gert Sibande District Statement on the Recalling of District Mayor and Executive The Young Communist League of South Africa (Ufasimba) in Gert Sibande has learnt with disappointed of the decision, earlier today, by the ANC lead Gert Sibande District Municipality Council to recall District Executive Mayor Cllr Kgotso Motloung and the Mayoral Committee. As the YCLSA we wish to distance ourselves from the decision taken unilaterally by the ANC Gert Sibande RWC. The YCLSA is astonished by the premeditated disregard of due political process by a clique within the REC in reaching this conclusion. The YCLSA is bothered as to why this issue was not referred to the plenary of the REC for discussion and then referred to the PEC Deployment Committee for ratification. The YCLSA is further troubled by the baseless pretext used to justify the” coup d'état”. It is alleged the mayor irregularly convened the 2011 Gert Sibande Youth Summit. This allegation is made in full knowledge of the fact that in the last financial year the Gert Sibande District Municipality received an unqualified audit, the only district municipality in the province to receive such an opinion. The YCLSA has long stood for and in support of clean governance. It is for this reason that we call on the ANC to act decisively against maladministration and not to create red-herrings as a basis to advance narrow factional battles. The decision by the RWC to single out the District Mayor therefore comes as a total surprise, especially since all seven local municipalities received disclaimer opinions from the Auditor General over the corresponding period. The YCLSA is now convinced that these actions and lack thereof are an attempt to intimidate ANC members in the political football leading up to the upcoming congresses. The YCLSA in Gert Sibande fully conscience of the plight of young people, the rural and township poor of our district therefore calls for an end to this tomfoolery and the immediate and unconditional reinstatement of the mayor and his executive.
