SACP Mpumalanga, 19 August 2013 Provincial Executive Committee Statement The SACP Mpumalanga 4th plenary session of the 08th Congress sat on the 18 August 2013 at Emalahleni Municipal Offices to assess its progress on implementing the program of action and analyse the current political developments nationally and globally. The meeting received all 3 reports, and engaged upon them, amongst other issues the following were issues to highlight on. Gender struggle The PEC acknowledges the challenges that are still affecting the movement and society at large in regard to gender struggle. Power relations continue to entrench gender inequality in the society and other means which capitalism will use to advance its cause. The victory by the 1956 generation should encourage the current to advance the struggle and emulate the latter. The PEC affirmed the PWC analysis on the disbandment of ANC Nkangala REC, further concerned about such decisions taken in the midst of election campaign. We note that there are those who may not care about the victory of the ANC in the election, only about themselves securing strategic positions. The PEC forward its message of bereavement to the family, friends and movement as a whole on the death of late RTT Scriber, Cde August Masango after hearing of his death thus we call on comrades in Nkangala to unite and deliver a decisive victory for the ANC in his honour. COSATU unity The PEC is highly concerned on what is transpiring within COSATU nationally as it has impact either directly or indirectly to affect our election campaign, unity and cohesion of the federation itself. We call upon our members in their rights as members of respective affiliates to fight for unity of the federation. We note that there are attempts by forces of reaction to destabilize the liberation movement and its alliance structures through its agents in order to affect the ANC's performance in next year election. We plead with revolutionary unions and members not to fall to the trap of the imperial masters to subvert this revolutionary federation and undermine it working class struggle. The PEC welcomes the elections in Mali and Zimbabwe and congratulating masses to take responsibility in voting. We note the attitude and character of ZANU-PF towards South African government led by the ANC, whilst noting the character of MDC being used by imperial forces to advance their agenda in Zimbabwe. Both this structures in Zimbabwe are acting in the manner which won't assist the poor masses of our people. Swaziland The SACP in Mpumalanga will work with progressive forces in Swaziland and within the country to fight against oppressive regime of the monarchy. We view the planned elections as a way of legitimising the monarchy and continue to destabilise the progressive forces in Swaziland. The SACP welcome the establishment of the University of Mpumalanga and its interim Council, to further congratulate Cde Fidel Mlombo - SACP PEC and PWC Member, COSATU Provincial Secretary on being part of the council. We hope his inclusion will vanguard the interest of the working class and give some ideological clarity to the council. Victory The SACP Mpumalanga will be on the ground making sure that a 90% victory in the province is achieved and deliver a 2/3 majority nationally while admitting the toughness of the upcoming elections. We call upon the masses to register to vote and defend the legacy of our Icon, Cde Nelson Mandela by voting correctly. The ANC remains the only beacon of hope to address the triple crisis we facing.
