YCLSA does not accept "camouflaged" resignation of Jacob Maroga, November 5 2009

The Young Communist league of South Africa (Ufasimba) does not accept the sudden "orchestrated" resignation of Jacob Maroga. This is affirmation of the numerous attempts by the internal board to shift blame of gross mismanagement of Eskom to an individual. The Young Communists fully supports Jacob Maroga and demands that any process that needs to take place to deal with Maroga should be internal.

YCLSA believes that problems at Eskom are exacerbated by the fact that the mandate of Eskom has changed from being an entity that supplies electricity as part of the broader strategy of industrialization and service delivery, to a profit maximization corporation. The YCLSA demands that a full blown enquiry into the state of Eskom and its mandate should be initiated as a sense of urgency which should cover questions of governance and transformation

The YCLSA also calls upon the dismissal of Godsell as his views are well crystallized in the sentiments of the Democratic Alliance. He continues to serve the interests of White Monopoly capital that have managed to entrench themselves through previous cheaper supply of electricity by the apartheid led government and now want to slam the doors of Eskom to the black majority.
