Comrade Blade Nzimande is not exactly what I would call a carefully considered speaker. After reading this article on M&G, I would love to hear Comrade Blade's answers to a few questions that arise from this section in particular:
So, Comrade Blade -Nzimande said their* motto was "either we control the ANC or we destroy it".
He said this was not the attitude of a genuine cadre of the ANC in that leadership positions were earned, and were not an entitlement.
Trying to stop the ANC to continue to govern, "because we've got the best policies, is a serious act of counter-revolution".
He said the dissidents wanted to control the ANC for "the resources".
Some of them had entered the ANC "as poor as church mice" and now they were millionaires.
They wanted to "demobilise" the ANC to become only an "electoral machine” and would be "a narrow party to serve the interests of a small coterie of elite".
*referring to the ANC dissidents
Q: You are South African Communist Party general secretary. Why are you also a member of the ANC?
Q: Are you suggesting that supporting the ANC is more important than supporting the best policies?
Q: Can we expect you to decline the "resources" that may come your way as a result of your involvement with the ANC?
Q: So the ANC is a narrow party serving the interests of a small coterie of elite. Fair enough, but that elite has changed, hasn't it. Sow how are you going to make it more open to interests outside of that elite?
Because right now it seems you and your clique are more intent on closing doors than opening them.
