WorkersDay: Blade confirms that SACP will vote for ANC
Durban - The General-Secretary of the South African Communist Party , Dr Blade Nzimande, on Wednesday urged Cosatu aligned workers to vote for the ruling African National Congress in order to defend the gains made by the country and the working class since 1994.
He said an election victory for the ANC on May 8 must be the basis on which the fight against corruption and state capture is intensified both inside of the ANC and government itself, and in society at large. “We, therefore, must pull out all the stops in the remaining days. We must labour everywhere across the country to achieve the much needed decisive electoral victory," Nzimande said to workers.Turning to workers, he lambasted them for taking a back seat during the years of state capture, saying their withdrawal from the country's political affairs gave looters a chance that has seen civil servants, teachers and police officers losing out on a decent housing subsidy.
