ANC Women's League is Brigading Calls it "Corps" The ANC Women's League is the latest Alliance formation to abandon branch structure and go for extra-constitutional "brigade"-style activity. ANCWL President Cde Bathabile Dlamini points out on the ANCWL web <http://www.anc.org.za/wl/show.php?id=11771> site that women constitute two thirds of ANC membership. Therefore, if the ANCWL Volunteer Corps succeeds in pulling out all the women from the branches, it will leave the local branches with only one-third of their numbers. But the third that would remain has already been plundered for the Moses Kotane Brigade, the Red Brigade, and the Violet Seboni Brigade. Therefore it looks as if the decision has effectively been taken to walk away from the ANC Constitution and the Branches, and to run the election on an ad hoc basis, almost as if the ANC was starting from nothing. What this does is to level the "playing field" and to play according to the rules, tactics and preferences of the opposition DA, EFF, white oppositionists and media. The unique, unbeatable advantage of the ANC - its country-wide branch organisation - is being thrown away - by the ANC. In such circumstances, anything can happen, as Venezuela has shown us. Today's ANCWL statement says: ANCWL Media Alert: Charlotte Maxeke Volunteer Corps Launch The African National Congress Women's League (ANCWL) will be launching its volunteer programme at Dan Qeqe Stadium, Port Elizabeth today, 20 December 2015. The launch will be addressed by the President of the ANCWL, Cde Bathabile Dlamini who will unpack an electioneering strategy for women as active participants on local government elections campaign. The launch will display the strength, capacity and readiness of women in ensuring ANC victory in communities thus ensuring "A Better Life, For All". ANCWL2.jpg VC -- -- You are subscribed.
