*Writes, Sive Madala Gumenge*
The General Secretary of the South African Communist Party (SACP) must not dare waste his time and disrupt our trust in him by responding to cheap, junk political rhetoric of Nyiko. In fact even myself, I do not have the time to respond to the abused political jargon by Floyd, which is not new by the way, but let me use English and not “right click” for meaning. Yha, yha, the fellow can write long things by putting words together and even after crashing SRC vehicles drunk during SRC days, he would go to his blog and justify it and the fellow is believable on paper. However, this should not be about Floyd or Nzimande for that matter, but the risk our movement which could have perhaps put us through under the leadership of Mandela, Mbeki and Zuma by electing an "unknown intellectual dwarf from IFP". Really now, could they have done that to us? It is not true because my revolutionary understanding and natural logic is that, the ANC could not have been a very careless Liberation Movement after decades of war, terror and pain in trying to overthrow a ruthless system and then donate it to a 36 years old unknown to lead it with Nelson Mandela, alongside Raymond Mhlaba, Joe Slovo, Adelaide Tambo and many others elected in the 49th National Conference, in 1994. So who could he have been? I don't think the GS should bother telling us about who he is because his work tells us enough about where he must take us. Perhaps the Pallo Jordan PhD moment was enough for us to start asking about our leaders but we did not because their political and revolutionary standing makes us aware of whom they are. Political leadership to me is unlike academic credentials of paper marking and a signature but for sure, political reliability matters and Nzimande is an ally and a leader in this Movement. Furthermore, some logic tells me that this young chap who was entrusted to lead the South African Communist Party at the age of 40 years is known and the movement would not just willingly donate us like that. I will not go into Nzimande’s age issues because I am way too young to be squabbling the age of adults but I will abuse the *“Nzimande calling”* through this media because Dr. or Mr. Nzimande will not be published. The saddest thing here is that many comrades have tried to raise the disunity of the alliance and others even left the ANC but reality is that Nzimande has stuck it through. Who does that? It's people like Nzimande, Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma, who do not run away when it's hot in the kitchen and be cry-babies or become economically opportunistic like the same the "Vuitton revolutionaries” and Business Unionism to form your own alliance outside our glorious movement. Other people will give me an old response that Floyd was expelled. Please wait with that response. Only ill-disciplined greedy thugs get expelled and even form their own party. In fact everywhere Floyd gets to be elected; there is a stain of dismissal and extreme factionalism. Those who are from SASCO to SRC to YCL and the ANCYL with him will attest to that reality. Lastly, I do not think with any inch of my brain that Govan Mbeki, Brian Bunting, Raymond Mhlaba and many other SACP Stalwarts left the Party with an unknown revolutionary. However, South Africans must start asking, *“Ngobani aba bafana be EFF and le mali ingaka beba ncinci bayithatha phi kusokolwa kangaka?”* *Sive Mandala Gumenge is a former YCLSA Deputy Secretary of Brian Bunting in the Western Cape.
