YCLSA statement on Vavi, Eskom and ‘Read to lead'
Saturday March 28, 2015
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] has for some time been observing the conduct of the General Secretary of the Congress of South African Trade Unions [COSATU].
We had initially thought it was best to refrain on commenting on this issue, however, with the current material conditions and state of COSATU we have saw it fit to comment on the conduct of the comrade.
We had refrained from commenting to allow COSATU to solve its own internal matters but to also allow the ANC intervention as led by the Deputy President to try help the federation's leaders to find common ground.
Cde Vavi has for some time defined himself outside of the collective and behaved in a manner that does not inspire unity in the federation. His drama queen tendencies and insatiable demand of attention is the reason the federation is close to being in tatters.
