- Description
- As we promised, we held an interview with the Party's Jeremy. A small critique of our own conclusions is: The SACP has, and still fail to rise to expectations of what the Party of Hani and Slovo set. The leadership by the Party is not felt anymore, i.e. even located within the context of the current situation. We did confirm that Cde Jeremy was silenced, although the comrade indicated that the matter was taken up with the ANC and resolved. The point is: if the ANC can threaten in whatever way, a key leader of another Alliance partner - then our democratic revolution is in a serious danger. Cde Jeremy is silenced, Cde Charles is noticeably quiet (he silenced himself to survive), Oom Ray is strategically deployed to Uganda. The Party is gradually becoming another department of the ANC. It is well good for the Party to say, we have members in the Cabinet, MECs who hold office bearer positions, etc. But the question which remains is: what Party program are those comrades following, if they are accountable to the ANC first - how can they operate differently from the mainstream (which is dictated upon). The two caps debate need to be understood differently, an MEC who is a provincial secretary of the Party - can never be critical of the ANC and governance, without being silenced of conveniently using his/her Party position conveniently. We appeal to our members who are Party activists, to ensure that we dedicate our time and effort towards building the Party, signing the debit order and building the structures.
