YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE OF SOUTH AFRICA EPHRAIM MOGALE DISTRICT DISTRICT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
STATEMENT ON THE OUTCOMES OF THE DISTRICT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON THE 28th OCTOBER 2012 AT CN MAHLANGU COLLEGE THE MEETING TOOK PLACE UNDER THE THEME ‘”OUTLINING OUR REVOLUTIONARY IDENTITY, IS THE REVOLUTION SAFE IN OUR HANDS” The District Executive Meeting of Ephraim Mogale met on their 2nd ordinary DEC meeting under the theme ”Outlining our revolutionary identity, is the revolution safe in our hands” and the meeting received an input from the Provincial Executive Committee and Provincial Working Committee Cde.Tinyiko “Mao” Ntini and the political report from the District Secretary Cde.January ”Sober” Kabini both the input and political report of comrades made a significant assessment and reflections on the current political discourse and their inputs were consistent with the above outlined theme. The DEC part of outlining its revolutionary identity reviewed its programme of action (POA) and campaigns to check whether they are still relevant and do they make a significant impact on its constituency and society at large and amongst other things the following underlying factors characterized the meeting: Oliver Reginald Tambo commemoration The meeting joined the majority of Alliance components and National Democratic Revolutionaries who are commemorating and celebrating the life, times and legacy of the renowned towering organic intellectual OR Tambo who kept the Alliance and the broader movement alive and united under difficult times for almost 30years of selfless revolutionary struggle against apartheid and colonialism of a special type and indeed as the YCLSA in the District we will continue to emulate his exemplary leadership as we continue to advance and deepen the struggle for socialism in our lifetime and we will continue to isolate, name and shame mutineers who are hell-bent in polluting the National Democratic Revolution which Tambo guarded for so many years. Public spats The YCLSA in Ephraim Mogale District observed with disparagement the unpalatable public spats amongst senior leaders of the Alliance during lectures and other organizational platforms using the media oligopoly to tarnish each other’s names. The DEC is concerned with the Mangaung mood that is making comrades to stoop low in trying to please their own cliques and playing to gallery in the hands of the bourgeoisie controlled media and we believe that these Tendencies continue to pollute the National Democratic Revolution and they are not doing justice to the entire Alliance as a result we urge comrades who are guilty as charged to off trail the bandwagon and stop this malady. State of the Municipalities in the District The meeting scrutinized and juxtaposed the Auditors report findings on local and district municipalities and it commended the persisting clean audit that is continuously been achieved by Steve Tshwete local municipality and others, we say they must continue to do well in their outstanding job however, the DEC is repugnantly appalled by the disclaimer report received by Dr. JS Moroka local municipality, qualified reports received by Thembisile Hani local municipality and Emalahleni local ,municipality alike, the DEC resolved that Dr. JS Moroka local municipality and Emalahleni local municipality must be set under administration by the provincial government with immediate effect because clearly they are failing to manage their own affairs and this affect service delivery. And we condemn with strong possible terms nepotism, patronage and other dubious means used by senior leaders of the movement who are having positions of power in the municipalities regarding employment of young people and the DEC supports wholeheartedly the strike by SAMWU on their demands for a living wage and exposure of barbaric corruption. On policy perspective The DEC assessed the policy perspective of the liberation movement post Polokwane. We don’t believe that the ANC took a shift to the left at Polokwane because the policies that continue to be proposed remain neo-liberal in its form and content. The DEC believes that the 1996 class project is defeated but not destroyed, it is in that manner we note the renegades of the same class project within the current administration and they are given strategic positions at the helm of our policy crafting. Government continue to be arrogant and dictate policies that were never resolved upon at Polokwane. Comrades should be obsessed with policy positions towards Mangaung rather than being hell-bent on leadership fermentation and fixation. It is only the Freedom Charter Moment that can save us and take us to right direction to Socialism. There must be a political will to implement what is envisaged in the charter. Road to Mangaung YCLSA in Ephraim Mogale in the terms of its critical analysis and observation of the so called road to Mangaung has noted with derision on the ideological pollution of the values and constitutional imperatives of the ANC as the processes of Branch General Meetings has been officially opened for nominations of national leadership of the leader of the alliance and we refused to be told that we can’t comment on issues of the ANC because the ANC is the leader of the National Democratic Revolution which by the way we are all jealously advancing so it is in this context that we can’t remain quite when criminals who masquerade as deployees flaws constitutional imperatives that guides the processes of BGMs. We have further noted with disdain the new Tendency of undermining powers vested into branches to make their own choices to nominate national leadership through the so called guides from PECs and RECs, branches are now prohibited to think on their own upper structures dictate and impose issues on branches. We are expressing the view that unity that is being perpetrated it must be ideologically grounded with a purpose of strengthening the ANC, not unity of fiefdoms and uninterrupted looting of state resources.
