SACP Eastern Cape on BCMM Mayoral Committee reshuffle

21 November 2014

The South African Communist Party (SACP) in the Eastern Cape wishes to express its rejection of the reshuffling of the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality (BCMM) Mayoral Committee. This reshuffling in our view has nothing to do with the interests of the African National Congress (ANC) and those of the people of Buffalo City.

The reshuffling of the BCMM Mayoral Committee represents a typical capturing of the municipality by greedy tenderpreneurs presenting their selfish interests: crass materialism and conspicuous consumption of public resources at the expense of the people and the organisation. This only serves as a source of destabilisation in the municipality which has been stabilising for a considerable period following a long excruciating instability and disservice to the people.

We call upon the people of Buffalo City to see this reshuffle for what it is and not be deceived by the greedy people hiding behind the good name of our beloved ANC. We are calling upon the people to unite and reject this reshuffle.

We commit ourselves to work with our structures in Skenjana Roji (BCMM) and the people as a whole to expose this utter greed that knows no organisational process and the rule of law in pursuit of tenders.

We have been here for decades leading the struggles of the people with and for the people. We know that all anti-communist elements are incapable of genuinely working with the alliance organs as that represent a stumbling block to their personal agenda. We know that history is on our side, they will be exposed and swept aside by the revolutionary process.

Issued by the SACP Eastern Cape.
