Also note Cosatu's statement released today about Mail & Guardian's lies. Mail & Guardian is a disaster indeed. It can only survive in so far at the media is not held accountable for abusing freedom of speech. A boycott could be the way to go on this liar called Mail & Guardian which is tarnishing the image of journalism. Sent by AlexM ________________________________ From: "Alex M.

Good Cde VC, I hereby confirm that Mail & Guardian is a big liar. I confirm that I, together with you and 24 others including comrade Phuthase Tseki serve together in SACP Gauteng PEC. If Mail & Gaurdian was interested in any truth it would have discovered that the elected leadership from SACP 10th Gauten Congress didn't include Cde Tseki but that because of the confidence that the SACP elected PEC and the first SACP Provincial Council following the 10th Provincial Congress had in him he was then co-opted and therefore duly elected as part of SACP Gauteng 10th Congress PEC in line with the applicable provisions of the Party's constitution. The SACP in Gauteng was so happy with the election on Cde Tseki in particular and other Cosatu GP office bearers in general without contest. The Mail & Guardian tells big lies - it believes that the bigger the lies it tells the better it stands a chance to be believed. At some stage Mail & Guardian was running at a loss; it appears lies are at the centre of its turnaround strategy which is destined to fail. AlexM ------Original Message------ From: VC Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Mail and Guardian - Big lies Sent: Aug 10, 2012 13:29 There is an article in today’s Mail and Guardian that is headed: “Gunning for Vavi: Zuma's allies in Cosatu want him out” It’s full of lies. I don’t like repeating lies, so I will not post the article. One of the lies in the article is that “South African Municipal Workers' Union general secretary Mthandeki Nhlapo” is a “supporter” of Vavi. The General Secretary of SAMWU is not Mthandeki Nhlapo. CU subscribers know that the GS of SAMWU is Walter Theledi. Why don’t the Mail and Guardian reporters know it? Another lie is that “SACP leaders also lobbied to have Vavi's allies removed, such as Cosatu's Gauteng chairperson, Phutas Tseki”. Actually, Cde Phutas is a member of the SACP Gauteng Provincial Executive Committee, along with myself among others. Photographs appeared in newspapers of our PS Cde Jacob Mamabolo and Gauteng ANC leader Nomvula Mokonyane celebrating with Cde Phutas at the COSATU Gauteng Congress a couple of weeks ago after Phutas was re-elected. It seems that the Mail and Guardian staff does not read newspapers. The whole article is a lie. If the reporters had read yesterday’s “New Age” article headlined “Retain Cosatu leadership”, also posted on the CU, they would have seen that: “Newly-elected SA Communist Party (SACP) chairperson Senzeni Zokwana openly campaigned for Cosatu’s leadership to be retained when the labour federation holds its national congress in Johannesburg next month.” The response of the treacherous, oppositionist mass media of our country has been to mount a “big lie” campaign, in the hope that the biggest possible lie, like the biggest snowball, will take longer than smaller lies to melt away. In the face of manifest unity, the mass media pretend to see disunity. VC -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
