MKMVA defends ANC from hooliganism
In light of what happened during a memorial lecture of the second ANC president Magkhato by the president Jacob Zuma on 23 February 2012 at the Good Hope Centre in Cape Town, MKMVA sees it necessary to stand and fight for the integrity of the organisation.
To say that disrupting such a gathering is out of order is an understatement. Such actions should be referred to as hooliganism and shall not be tolerated. The perpetrators of such actions must be held to account and furthermore, they must be suspended from any activities of the ANC and their membership must be revoked as well.
As the veterans of this organisation and especially during this period of celebrating 100 years of selfless struggle for the liberation of South Africa, we say that enough damage has been done to discredit our prestigious organisation. It is clear that not everyone within the organisation has the interest of the ANC at heart.
We do acknowledge that some people have an agenda which varies from a collective agenda of the organisation and they are out to destroy the organisation's reputation and integrity. We also acknowledge that internal squabbles have managed to bring the organisation into disrepute and we call for an end to all this madness.
We call on all legitimate and passionate members of the ANC to safe guard and defend the organisation from such actions. Such an act must never be tolerated and the name of the organisation is more important than any individual in the organisation. Therefore, we as MKMVA members stand beside our organisation and will defend it always from hooliganism, corruption and self-interest.
