The attacks against the General Secretary are an act of gerrymandering by EFF.
Confucius, the acclaimed Chinese philosopher once said “Don’t complain about the snow on your neighbor’s roof when your doorstep is unclean”
For two weeks the SACP has been under severe attacks from the Economic Freedom Fighters, from the issuance of statements to the penning of articles. This offensive has been directed to the General Secretary of the Party, as a political head and a figure of the Party. As a consequence of this scorch-earthed political assault, social networks have been abuzz with this trending and media excitements in prime slots.
I am not interested in qualifying the credentials of the General Secretary in struggle. On Mandela day, the Chairperson of the ANC in KwaZulu Natal who also spent a lot of time in Natal Midlands in those tough times narrated his traceable history that we all know and that ANC don’t need EFF to force it on its leader’s biographies.
This was later confirmed by the anger shown by a senior ANC leader, comrade Shakes Cele, an ANC MP, who was the first ANC Regional Secretary for the ANC Midlands in 1991 under the Chairmanship of Harry Gwala. That collective leadership included Nzimande.
Dr. Mike Sutcliffe, has gone back to the mid-80s working relationship with Nzimande both in the academia and in the United Democratic Front.
