Nzimande foolish, childish and reactionary: ANCYL
Image by: ALON SKUY
The ANCYL says it's disgusted by the conspiracies being spread by Blade Nzimande, "the part-time General Secretary of the South African Communist Party."
The ANCYL says Nzimande is repeating "the old and tired conspiracy that it is speaking about nationalisation because youth league leaders are bought by mining companies that are failing and need a bail-out."
"Blade Nzimande claims that only few business people will benefit from Mines’ nationalisation. The ANC Youth League believes that these conspiracies and the attitude of Blade Nzimande are foolish, childish and reactionary."
"In our call for Nationalisation of Mines, the ANC Youth League has never said, nor suggested that government must buy mines or spend government resources for the state to take ownership and control of mines."
The league says "in more than thousand times (sic), the ANC Youth League has said we should utilise legislation to take over control and ownership of existing mines and all future minining activities.
"The ANC Youth League is inspired that COSATU, a reliable fighter in the struggle for the emancipation of the working class, rejects the conspiracies spread about the call for Nationalisation."
It says: "We particularly appreciate that COSATU’s interventions and inputs are aimed at strengthening the nationalisation perspective and not ridicule it through lies."

That is exactly the way I see it. The failed mines will be sold off, probablyto the Chinese and the proceeds will be pocketed.

Posted 332 days agoI bet Malema will register a company that deals with services to the mines and these tenders will belongs to him, Lastly tell me one public entity whose books are in the postive, this will also happen to mines and the poor will suffer more.

However I suspect he is just rabble rousing to offer the unemployed youth some hope.

Posted 332 days agoAre there members of the ANCYL who are trying to benefit from tenders in the mining industry? What is the answer? Yes or no. Actually that isn't even addressed, is it?
The only reaction that we get from Nzimande's accusation is one that is foolish, childish and reactionary.

Posted 332 days agoOthers' belongings and who should be trusted with it. They don't even trust one another. Cut from the same cloth. They know exactly what can be expected of the other so it follows naturally that they don't trust each other.
Who in his/her right mind will want to trust either of the camps.
Who cares which of the two camps takes it. Once the taking starts the country will bleed to a standstill.

Posted 332 days agoThese companies are the olding force of our economy, not everything can be given back to the poor thats what the department of social development is there for. For as long as private companies are bring in the money and capitalisn rules the world just let the other group of fat cats make their money.
Gosh must you have everything???!!!

The only way they can participate is when the debate is done in a lower levell or publicly. We cant have people debating critical issues behind closed doors, freedom is about transparency.
Why hide your views from the people who elected you?

South Africa is new in this democacy thing and has a lot to do in order to correct the pass, like new policies and less parliamentrary debates.
The allaence of ANC, SACP and COSATU is realy a good force in leading this country, if the three has to seperate this will only help by reducing the strenght of the ANC and delay the process of change, eg Economic redistribution.

Posted 331 days agoI am also enjoying the accusations being made by VAVI (Cosatu) against Zuma (ANC).
I sincerely hope this leads to an almighty bustup between the whole lot of them which actually resulties in casualties in their respective leaders.
Any implosion would be welcome.
The SACP and Cosatu are total parasites leaching off the ANC for positions they would not be able to have if they were to split and form their own individual political parties.
They are far too 'chicken' to do that , because the voters would prove just how irrelevant they are individually.
Please. please carry on - I'll just get a few refills of popcorn.

Posted 331 days agoI do however not agree with the tri party political system as a solution. To me it is dishonest. I have a lot of respect for the PAC although I did not agree with their policies they at least were clear on what they wanted in a new South Africa. They supported a Mozambique style constitution. The problem seems that the voters did not agree with them then hence their dismal decline as a political party. It now dseems people in the ANC alliance wants the same. There is a dishonesty in this turnaround that smells very bad. I am sure you agree.

Posted 331 days agoMoreover, Malema is a liar and a phony, he is the president of seven companies that have been getting tenders from the government and he said that he wasn't aware he was the president of these companies. He doesn't give a damn about the poor and this is his sell to get over on the poor. Zuma is the cause of this problem with Malema because he was embracing him to get his support. I would love to know if he is paying income taxes.
