The South African Communist Party (SACP) in Gauteng Province dips its red flag in honour of the memory of our late comrade Advocate Jeff Molobela who passed away on 27 June 2019.

Cde Jeff served as a member of the provincial executive committee (PEC) between 2011 and 2014 where he made valuable contributions, particularly in the field of economic transformation. Cde Jeff held numerous positions within the ANC-led alliance structures including being the Regional Treasurer for the ANC in Greater Johannesburg.

In these roles and guided by the theory of Marxism-Leninism, cde Jeff played a key role in guiding our responses to the systemic crisis of global capitalism. He walked with us side by side in our endeavours towards building a different world based on meeting the social needs rather than private profits of the capitalist class.

In his honour we will continue to advance the socialist struggle, waged at the terrain of the national democratic revolution, as a pivotal class struggle that places social needs above narrow selfish private profits.

We will use cde Jeff’s memory to remind ourselves of our thoroughgoing struggle to transform all facets of our society, particularly the economy, an area of interest to him, to reverse the capitalist accumulation path in our country that persist to be dominated by colonialism of a special type (CST) features.

As the SACP in the province we hope that the family of cde Jeff will find solace and comfort in the fact that in life he was on the side of the oppressed majority working class masses. For this stance, cde Jeff deserves our praise.

We also take this opportunity to express our sincere and heartfelt condolences to cde Jeff’s family, friends and relative. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult period.

Long live the spirit of cde Jeff Molobela long live.
