*YCLSA Limpopo Press Statement*
September 08, 2013 *YCLSA Limpopo PEC Statement* The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] Limpopo Province held its 5th plenary session Provincial Executive Committee on the 06th October 2013 at the CDM office in Polokwane. This meeting coinciding with the 96thanniversary of the Red October Revolution of 1917 led by the Bolsheviks. It was the first Communist Revolution in the world in the 20th century to be won by communist. The Provincial Committee also met a month after the 22 nd anniversary of South African Student Congress (SASCO) which symbolizes the struggle waged by students against inequalities, redress, financial and academic exclusion, and the transformation of the education system in South Africa. *On SRC Elections* ** **The YCLSA applauds SASCO at Tshwane University of Technology and University of Limpopo for undertaking its historical and revolutionary task to lead the PYA in campus through the ballot. We further commend the ANCYL PTT for disbanding its Branch at the University of Limpopo Turfloop Campus for disregarding the mandate of the PYA summit and registered as independent organisation. This matter was also influenced by the University management and some group of business people who claimed that SASCO, and YCLSA are not popular on Campus where as they knew that their interest are with EFF not with the ANCYL and the PYA. As the YCLSA in Limpopo we call on the Minister of Higher Education Dr Blade Nzimande to recall the Vice Chancellor of the University of Limpopo Turfloop Campus Prof N.M. Mokgalong because he continues to victimise students on possible exclusion and dismissal in the Campus if they contests for SRC under the banner of SASCO. We wish SASCO Univen all the best in their SRC elections on the 11thOctober 2013. The PYA will be contesting elections under the banner of SASCO consistent with the decision of the PYA summit. SASCO remains the leader of the PYA in campus given its abundance of experience to lead the students in different campuses. *2014 General Elections* We heed a clarion call to the youth of South Africa to defend the ANC on the ballot box. The 2014 general elections remain very critical as the people of South Africa re-affirm their confidence in the ANC led government. The YCLSA will continue with its ideological training and political education in pursuit of the National Democratic Revolution. The National Committee will unveil the YCLSA election strategy as an integral part of the other MDM formations. Consistent with the National Council resolutions, resources should be channelled towards the YCLSA and other PYA components as part of the election strategy targeting first time voters in particular. *On Malamulele* We condemn the violence that is taking place in Malamulele as a way of raising the demand for a Municipality in that area. As the YCLSA we are very confident that the ANC/SACP provincial leadership and Premier will engage the community and bring back stability in the area. This issue will only be concluded in 2016 by the Demarcation Board in its Municipal demarcation review process. *On the international balance of forces* The YCLSA Limpopo is notes the intended attack on Syria by the US and allies. We also note that the USA has vested interest in the oil that Syria has at its disposal and other natural resources. On Zimbabwe, as the YCLSA in Limpopo we are the neighbouring province and a border gate to other African states and we request that the sovereignty of the Zimbabweans must be respected. We welcome the outcome of the democratic elections of Robert Mugabe from ZANU PF as the President of Zimbabwe because the people re-affirmed their confidence in him as their legitimate leader and hope that he will make their lives better. We condemn the outright rejection of the election outcomes in Zimbabwe by Botswana as the only country in SADC that act against a declaration of free and fair elections by the African Union and United Nations.
