Statement by Gert Sibande District of the South African Communist Party
For Immediate Release
25 March 2012
Re: SACP Gert Sibande District Statement on the Recalling of the Mayor
and ANC Centenary Celebrations
The South African Communist Party in Gert Sibande District has learnt
from media reports that the District Executive Mayor Kgotso Motloung
was recalled on 14 March 2012.
The SACP is still not in a position to comment on the merits of the
decision as it has not, after numerous attempts, received a briefing
from the ANC in the Region on how it was able to reach this decision
unilaterally. The SACP views this episode as further evidence of the
degeneration of Alliance relations in the District. This also follows
numerous actions that have sought to undermine the existence of the
alliance and a show of complete disrespect of the role and
contribution of respective components.
The ANC Gert Sibande Region will be hosting the centenary torch from
25-31 March. To us it symbolizes a significant period for alliance
components to respect and value each other's contribution towards our
history and the role that we still have to play in ensuring that we
eradicate poverty and reduce the high levels of unemployment that
exist within the district.
As the SACP we wish the ANC in the Region well as it starts its
centenary celebrations.
We remain committed to a programmatic Alliance. Importantly, this
Alliance must be based on mutual respect and ongoing consultation
We will continue seeking an audience between the Regional Executive
Committee of the ANC and the District Executive Committee of the SACP
to attend to these issues.
Issued on behalf ofSACP Gert Sibande District Executive Committee
