Many will label Numsa as counter-revolutionary for forming a workers' party for socialism ("Numsa to launch new party", yesterday).

A good story to tell about this intelligent decision is that never again shall workers be used by corrupt ANC-SACP comrades. Cosatu was used by Jacob Zuma and the class of 2007 to remove comrades disliked by him.

Numsa blindly followed Zuma, not knowing that he wanted power to enrich his family, weaken government's ability to fight corruption and thus avoid having his day in court, and to advance tribalism.

We salute Numsa. Expect insults and demonisation, but soldier on, comrades.
