It means what Cde Wally Serote meant it to mean.
It means that there was not, and could not be, a collective call from these comrades for the removal of the President. It means that any such calls could only have been the calls of individuals. You are correct, comrade. And Cde Wally Serote is also correct. VC From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jerome Levendal Sent: 22 November 2016 10:33 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Sadtu Pol Ed Forum] We have never called for the President to resign Cds Please explain to me why these “veterans” are entertained as a “collective”? Does this mean that they have certain rights that can side-step the existing structures of the ANC? What about our defined channels of communication within the party? Does this not apply to them? I would like this to be explained to me as it does not make sense to me.

Speaking on the outcomes of the meeting outside Pretoria, Mantashe said the party’s stalwarts did not shy away from raising their concerns on the leadership of the ruling party. He said they agreed to have a follow-up meeting before year-end. The NEC continues “We want to give the first day of the NEC to the veterans, then continue the rest of the NEC over two days. We are quite happy with the meeting (it) was candid, open (and) difficult sometimes but it’s important for the health of the ANC,” he said. Mantashe said the public utterances made by the ANC stalwarts were not in the best interests of the movement. “The question of what is said publicly is quite important. Things that normally and ordinarily get resolved get spoiled in the process of announcing things prematurely to the media,” he said. Frankness ANC veteran Wally Serote said the ANC NWC made a concession on the stalwarts’ request for a consultative conference. “Yes, we are discussing it. It’s on the table (and) we are discussing the modalities for it,” Serote said. Serote echoed Mantashe on the frankness of the discussions held. “There were difficult moments, we agreed on many issues. We agreed that we’ll be guided by the culture, tradition and values of the ANC and that is extremely important for us,” he said. Not the collective Serote also said veterans and stalwarts who signed an open letter calling for President Jacob Zuma to step down could not be regarded as holding the views of the collective. “As a group of veterans we have never called for the president to resign. If they utter them they do so in their personal capacity,” he said.
