Truth Comes Out

SACCAWU is to go on strike on Thursday at all outlets of Shoprite Group. These include Shoprite, Checkers, OK Furniture, OK Foods, OK Mini Markets, House & Home, Hungry Lion, Usave, Freshmark, 8 ‘til late, Computicket, Rainbow Finance, Meat Market, Sentra. SACCAWU is also calling for a full-scale boycott of all these outlets. See the linked item below. Peter Bruce is the editor of the Business Day. He likes to say: “The truth will always come out”. But last year he sacked David Gleason for exposing the lethal struggles between bourgeois factions in the ANC. Now Karima Brown (see linked item below) writes in the same Business Day of the “newly rich” that: “Their intervention in the party’s succession challenge has been all but destructive as various business interests attempt to “buy” ANC factions.” What was once denied has now to be accepted. The truth is coming out. The SACP Central Committee meets on Friday and Saturday with a long and important agenda, set out in the document linked below. This may be a good moment to revise certain aspects of our newly-published SACP Constitution. The next document linked below contains a page of relevant extracts from our Constitution about the relationship between structures within the SACP hierarchy. The well-known blogger Xymphora has added his weight to the call for a boycott of Israel. See the linked document. The MDC (Mutambara) is one part of the split legacy of Zimbabwe’s Movement for Democratic Change. The MDC(M) in South Africa is organising a march against arbitrary night-time raids on the flats of Zimbabwean victims of the Mugabe regime in Johannesburg. The march will assemble at Berea Park in Hillbrow tomorrow at 10h00 and will proceed to the office of the Gauteng MEC for Community Safety at 78 Fox Street, Johannesburg, where a petition will be handed over at 13h00.
