Addressing the inaugural SRWP congress in Benoni to officially launch the party’s 2019 election campaign, Jim – who has ruled out public perception that he positioned himself to become an MP after the polls – said he was “not in a rush to go to parliament”. “All other parties – including the ANC – have failed in the past two decades. The only answer lies in voting for a revolutionary party.”“This is not workers’ money. I can assure everyone that the workers’ money is intact at Numsa,” said Jim.
“All that the ANC did in the Alliance was to merely manage us by allowing us to speak at Alliance forums.”
