COSATU Today, 22 May 2012

The Congress of South African Trade Unions is profoundly shocked and saddened by the sudden, tragic death of two leaders of the Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union (SACTWU) in a road accident at the weekend.

The federation sends its condolences to the families, friends and comrades of Branch Organiser, Maria Davia Monaheng, and Tselane Adeline Lipali, a SACTWU shop steward and also Provincial Treasurer of COSATU’s Free State Province, who lost their lives when their car crashed into a truck on the N1 between Parys and Kroonstad.

COSATU also sends its best wishes to Oupa Masita, a SACTWU shop steward and Branch Chairperson, who was badly injured in the accident and is in a serious but stable condition in a Bloemfontein hospital. We hope you will make a full and speedy recovery.

The three trade unionists, from SACTWU’s John Zikhali Branch in the Free State & Northern Cape, were driving home from union’s Gauteng Regional Executive Committee (REC) meeting in Johannesburg.

The trade unions movement cannot afford to lose such hard-working activists and their loss will be particularly severe in the Free State and Northern provinces. We are sure that their comrades will honour and cherish their memory.

The best memorial to those heroes and heroines whom we have lost in action in the struggle for workers’ liberation is always draw inspiration from them to take forward their work of building and strengthening the trade union movement in the clothing and textile industry.

SACTWU mourns as union organiser and office-bearer die in car accident

Andre Kriel, SACTWU General Secretary, 20 May 2012

It is with great sadness and deep sorrow that the Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union (SACTWU) announces the tragic death of a Branch Organiser and an Office Bearer, respectively.

Branch Organiser Maria Davia Monaheng and Office Bearer Tselane Adeline Lipali died on the scene, in a horrific car crash with a truck on the N1 national road between Parys and Kroonstad, in the early evening yesterday.

Ms Lipali, a SACTWU shop steward, was the Provincial Treasurer of COSATU’s Free State Province.

A third passenger, SACTWU shop steward and Branch Chairperson, Oupa Masita, is in serious but stable condition in the Bloemfontein hospital.

The three clothing, textile and leather industry trade unionists, from SACTWU’s John Zikhali Branch in the Free State & Northern Cape, were traveling from a union meeting when the tragic incident happened.

They had earlier in the day attended the union’s Gauteng Regional Executive Committee (REC) meeting in Johannesburg, and were on their way home.

Representatives from the trade union have personally informed the families of the deceased and the injured. We grief with them.

SACTWU and COSATU will now, in close consultation with the families, help make the necessary funeral arrangements and provide practical assistance with the recovery efforts of our injured Branch Chairperson.

We are thankful for the many condolence messages and recovery wishes from cadres, comrades and friends within our movement and beyond.

COSATU Free State statement on death of its Provincial Treasurer and Sactwu Organiser

Sam Mashinini, COSATU Free State Provincial Secretary, 22 May 2012

The Federation in the province is shocked by the sudden death of its provincial Treasurer Mme Tselani Dipali and Sactwu regional organiser Mme Maria Monaheng who were both involved in a tragic CAR accident that took place between Parys and Kroonstad on Saturday 19 May 2012. The comrades were on their way back to Bloemfontein coming from their Sactwu REC which was held in Gauteng.

As the federation’s leadership including affiliates leadership in the province we have met with the family as a tradition and have agreed that a statement regarding the incident can be released. We know very well that both these comrades dedicated their lives to the struggle of the working class and the poor and their death will be a great loss to the family and working class as a whole.

We wish to pass our deepest condolences to the family, loved ones, children, workers and colleagues on this unfortunate and painful loss. We will always remember their contributions and their spirit will be with us at all times.

The funeral of the two comrades will be held on the 2^nd June 2012 at a venue that will be announced once we have agreed with the families and a joint memorial service of the comrades will be held on the 31^st May 2012. May their souls rest in peace!

Wits Students enter a hunger strike

Wits University SRC, ARC and WSC, 21 May 2012

The struggle for the reinstatement of 17 unfairly dismissed black workers at Wits continues. This is after close to a thousand students marched on 16 May Wednesday in demand of the university management to intervene in the matter.

Royal Mnandi, which offers catering services to all students in the university residences, has up to this point refused to concede to the demands of its clients. Over the past two weeks more than two thousand students have engaged in periodic boycott by cancelling their meals, which resulted in hundreds of thousand Rands in losses on the part of Mnandi.

The march was therefore an attempt to get the university management, which had hitherto remained silent, to intervene in the matter.

On Friday, 18 May 2012, the university responded to this demand by taking an abstentionist position. The management argued that “the university cannot comment on, or as requested, override the disciplinary process and outcomes of an outsourced service provider”.

The SRC insists that the university should enter into business with companies that embrace the values of the university, respect labour laws. Thus, argues the SRC, the actions of Mnandi, even on natural justice terms, have dealt an assault on these values. The spirit and content of the law is being compromised with the emphasis of legal processes when workers live without pay.

They say “the very fact that this is a private company’s ‘internal matter’, and not ostensibly a university concern, is proof that outsourcing, and by implication those who implemented it, is responsible for the plight of the workers. Therefore, our demand for the university’s intervention in the matter is merely calling on them to own up to what is in essence their creation.”

As of yesterday, the students have embarked on an occupied of the main administration building of the university. 32 students, which includes members of the SRC, ARC and WSC woke up from the floor on this cold day and have also started a hunger strike from today.

The occupation and the hunger strike are meant to move the moral conscience of the university leadership. Last week, COSATU, NUMSA, ANC YL and SASCO released statements in support of the solidarity efforts by Wits folks with the 17 dismissed black workers.

The SRC say they will sleep there, take tests from there, and study from there. They will hold demonstrations every 13h00 with the rest of the university community, demanding the intervention of the university.

Local Government refuses to meet workers’ needs

Tahir Sema, SAMWU National Media and Publicity Officer, 21 May 2012

The first round of wage negotiations in the municipal sector kicked off today in Boksburg. The parties have a huge mountain to climb after SALGA responded with a below inflation increase in response to the joint demands of the trade unions. SAMWU in concert with IMATU tabled the following proposal for the 2012/2013 financial year commencing in July 2012:

- An across the board increase of 15% or R2 000-00 (whichever is the greater) for all employees falling under the registered scope of the SALGBC (South African Local Government Bargaining Council).

- A minimum wage in the Local Government Sector of R6 000-00.

- The filling of all vacant posts on all Municipal Council approved organograms on a permanent and full time basis.

- And a salary and wage collective agreement in respect of a single year only, (i.e. for the 2012/2013 financial year).

In response to these demands SALGA proposed the following:

A 4% across the board increase
No minimum wage for the sector
No filling of vacancies
Termination of the agreement governing conditions of service and to terminate the existing disciplinary procedure.
To cap existing maximum contributions by employers towards medical aid schemes.

The response by SALGA seeks to seriously cut into the standard of living of the existing terms and conditions of municipal workers. The wage increase proposed by SALGA will lead to workers receiving a cut in real wages. This is on top of no wage agreement being reached for 2011/12.

Over and above this the intention to terminate the existing agreements leaves workers vulnerable to significant cuts in benefits such as working hours, overtime rates, maternity leave and sick leave. Furthermore, the removal of minimum wage provisions allows open season on employers introducing starvation level wages in councils across the country.

The unwillingness of SALGA to fill the approximately 30 000 vacancies existing in the municipal sector shows a lack of commitment to service delivery. As can be observed by the daily outbreaks of service delivery protests, communities are fed up with non-delivery of municipal services. This is largely due to the inappropriate allocation of resources to meet the needs of the poor. Some municipalities have key departments like electricity and water service operating at 20% levels of full staff. Furthermore, the high number of vacancies leaves workers having to work excessive amounts of overtime to cover the requirements of service. This chronic usage of overtime is unhealthy for the workers concerned and compromises quality service delivery.

The stance taken by SALGA is at odds with meeting the legitimate needs of workers and communities. Their response is tantamount to declaring war on municipal workers. If SALGA does not drastically improve its start, the possibility that communities can expect further disruption as industrial action will be the only way for municipal workers to fight for a living wage.

Youth wage subsidy launch in Western Cape

Tony Ehrenreich, COSATU W Cape Provincial Secretary, 21 May 2012

COSATU was surprised at the DA’s claims that they have launched a wage subsidy in the Western Cape. This is an old activity that the DA launched in 2009, which it is now trying to dress up as a wage subsidy for propaganda purposes. In fact when it was initially launched it was heavily biased to giving DA young supporters jobs.

The DA knows that discussions are happening nationally in Parliament and in NEDLAC to ensure that the unintended consequences of substitutions or job displacement are avoided. They are party to some of these discussions and it is dishonest to present it as a fait accompli, just waiting to be implemented.

This is as dishonest as Lindiwe Mazibuko claims that President Zuma said COSATU was blocking it; this can be confirmed in Hansard. This just shows that the DA is not letting facts stand in the way of their desperate attempt to try and expand their electoral base, by appearing to be concerned about the huge sea of black youth unemployed.

With the last big restructuring of the economy, when outsourcing casualisation and Labour broking was introduced under the guise of more jobs, we saw the effect. This led to workers in jobs with decent wages and benefit funds being retrenched, and being replaced by casual workers earning lower wages, with no benefits. The only people who benefited then were the bosses as reflected by the rising profits and increased levels of inequality.

The DA attempted to promote black on black violence through there March in JHB which showed a disregard for the safety and concerns of black people generally. This is then exacerbated in the Western Cape where they are taking money away from equalising educational resources between old white and black schools, so that all learners have the same resources, opportunities and prospects. This money is then spent on a few of the black kids who fall out of the dysfunctional education system, so they are prepared for jobs at the lower end of the Labour Market.

The real problem in the Western Cape is the growing levels of inequality, which is a systemic impediment to economic growth and development. This inequalities are however as a direct result of the apartheid generational advantage to whites that the DA is committed to defending. So instead of addressing the real challenges, the DA tries to tell the Western Cape population that the cause of the poverty problem is other poor black people, in their trade Unions. This is in spite of the fact that workers share up to 17% of their wages in remittance with unemployed workers and their families. The wealthy DA members in Constantia and Zille herself has no unemployed family members who she supports with her nearly R2 Million salary, neither does she support any of the poor black workers whose interest she claims to champion in a systemic way.

COSATU Western Cape dismisses the DA launch of a Wage subsidy in the Western Cape as a gimmick to make political millage and one that workers have seen through As COSATU we are committed to creating jobs for the millions of our brothers and sisters , both young and old, black and white. And one of the ways of doing it is to make the society more equal, by redistributing some of the apartheid grand theft, to all the people in this Province. If there is to be the fight that Premier Zille is promoting, let the fight at least be around the real issues that plague our Province, inequality , poverty and unemployment and greed and its excesses.

Challenge of youth unemployment and youth wage subsidy

Joel Netshitenzhe, ANC Today, 18 May 2012

That South Africa is a noisy republic is a trait of which we should be proud. We are truly given to hyperbole. As the march of the Democratic Alliance (DA) on COSATU headquarters unfolded, focus in discussion was about the numbers on either side; who threw the first stone; and the scores of people who were injured.

With the professional football season coming to an end, the entertainment value of "the blues" and "the reds" at each other's throats cannot be underestimated. From the point of view of the DA, this marks the beginning of an uprising against 'the real centre of power' in South Africa as, in its opinion, government has ceded decision-making to the giant federation.

It cannot be that the DA did not expect a mass and angry response to the march, from COSATU and its allies. This is not merely because of the antagonism between these two organisations which, in broad terms, stand at the extreme ends of South Africa's fault-lines of race and class. It is also because the issue at hand - about measures required urgently to deal with the challenge of youth unemployment including a youth wage subsidy - is as critical as it is urgent and emotive.

In the end and because of the chaos that it certainly should have expected, the DA got the publicity it wanted - and perhaps a few votes to milk. The alignment of forces in the debate about a youth wage subsidy is indeed a strange one. On the one hand, government has put forward the proposal and, after some eight years of internal debate, resources have been allocated for its implementation.

The DA, ironically a ruling party in one of the provinces which decided to march on the headquarters of a union federation, claims it has started implementing the scheme. The National Planning Commission (NPC) has similarly called for "a tax subsidy to employers to reduce the initial cost of hiring young labour market entrants".

The ANC Youth League rejects the proposal. The National Youth Development Agency, staffed mainly by youth leaguers, has expressed support for the wage subsidy, on condition that there is effective monitoring of the system. Debate around this issue has been raging for many months now at the National Economic, Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC) involving government, business, workers and civil society. Indications are that we should not hold our breath, as a resolution will not come soon.

This is the actual tragedy. For, try as government may to devise long-term strategies and plans, these will take years to impact on employment generally and on youth marginalisation in particular. The global economic crisis is not helping either. What is needed is a raft of urgent interventions that will facilitate the school-to-work transition which is the bane of our society's economic and social wellbeing.

The statistics on youth marginalisation have been repeated many times: 70% of the unemployed are young people; in 2009, about half of 18-24 year-olds looking for work were unemployed; scores of thousands of university graduates are roaming the streets... To attack this problem and in addition to the 'young labour tax subsidy', the NPC also calls for driver training for school leavers; subsidy to the placement sector to prepare and place matric graduates; extension of the Expanded Public Works Programme and expansion of learnerships.

Coming back to the issue of the youth wage subsidy or whatever it may be called, where does COSATU's "callousness" against which the DA had to march originate? Why such "selfishness" on the part of employed workers? Naturally, a trade union movement has the responsibility to defend the interests of employed workers, its members. It should be expected to protest against measures it sees as having the potential to create a two-tier labour market which ultimately would lower labour standards across the board.

But why not accept this as a temporary intervention to absorb as many young people as possible into economic activity, expand the numbers of workers and potential union members, and from this beach-head push for improved standards?

The answer to these questions lies not only with COSATU and other opponents of the youth wage subsidy. It should also come from employers and all of society. This is because at the core of the wrangling on this issue is the fundamental question of trust, a crucial deficit in South Africa's macrosocial environment.

Youth wage subsidies all over the world have been shown to facilitate young people's entry into the labour market. But this is if they are implemented in a manner that deals with the many negative consequences that they can otherwise spawn.

Researchers on this issue have pointed to some of these challenges:

Deadweight loss - employers will take advantage of the subsidy but employ people who would have been employed anyway.

Substitution effect - employers will absorb subsidised young people and get rid of unsubsidised, and mostly older, workers.

Displacement effects - firms and industries without subsidised workers will be crowded out and general employment negatively affected.

Destructive churning - companies will take a group of subsidised workers and when the subsidy period for these comes to an end, they will simply replace them with new ones.

Corruption - the system does lend itself to graft on a mass scale.

And so, rather than urging for a thoughtless plunge, cogent arguments and effective measures to obviate these challenges need to be put on the table. In this regard, the NYDA may have a point in arguing that there needs to be a system of effective monitoring, which itself could also absorb young people. To the extent that these issues are addressed, generic slogans about a two-tier labour market system and poverty wages will not pass muster in the court of public opinion.

These are the issues that organised labour and organised business - led by government - have to urgently resolve. The hope, though, is that what one business commentator called "a silly" decision on the part of the DA to march on COSATU HQ, will not harden attitudes and scuttle the discussions under way.

And, sooner rather than later, government will have to weigh the pros and cons, and the capacity to obviate the potential negative effects of the subsidy, and take a decision.

South Africa

SACTWU welcomes olympic kit designer competition

Andre Kriel, SACTWU General Secretary, 20 May 2012

The Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union (SACTWU) welcomes the decision by SASCOC to choose a South African designer to design the official opening ceremony kit of the South African Olympic team. We specifically welcome the decision that the design criteria require the outfits to be ‘Proudly South African’.

This is what should have happened in the first instance, with the general kit.

Nevertheless, in order for the clothes to be truly Proudly South African, SASCOC must also ensure that they are manufactured by the hands of South African workers in local factories.

This latest initiative goes some way to restore some local pride. We hope it will be a stepping stone to better things, signalling a shift to consciousness amongst national sports bodies of the important role they must play in creating jobs in the country.

SACTWU now wishes the athletes well.

NEHAWU seriously opposed to attempts to force medical aid schemes to face limitless liability

Sizwe Pamla, NEHAWU Media Liaison Officer 21 May 2012

NEHAWU is disappointed by the decision of the North Gauteng High Court to deny leave to appeal to the Board of Health Care Funders and SAMWUMED who were asking for a declaratory order to clarify the meaning of regulation 8.The Board of Health Care Funders is fighting for a fair cost structure that will prevent medical aid schemes from being plundered by the private sector through overcharging. The court case was opposed by the Council for Medical Schemes and 12 other private sector organisations including the Hospital Association and Private Practitioners Forum. Inquiry

Regulation 8 of The Medical Schemes Act deals with the diagnosis, treatment and care costs related to Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs) of 270 regulated conditions by ensuring that even when medical aid benefits are exhausted the medical aids may not refuse to pay for treatment of these conditions.

NEHAWU believes that underlying this court case is the greed of the private sector and their determination to pull the wool over the eyes of ordinary South Africans. The major fight for workers and the unemployed is for the costs of the private sector to be regulated so that medical aids are not placed at risk, as the Department of Health moves towards the implementation of the National Health Insurance. These organisations want medical schemes to face and open-ended liability so that they can continue to loot them with their ridiculous uncontrolled charges.

NEHAWU’s position is that while it would be ideal and morally correct for medical aid schemes to reimburse members in full; the problem that leads to the early exhaustion of medical aid benefits is the unrestrained overcharging by private hospitals and private specialists. They loot these schemes by charging more than double the amount to, medical aid schemes, than they charge those who pay cash.

Private hospitals in the main and many private specialists (including radiologists and pathologists) see this as a blank cheque into medical aid funds and are forcing medical schemes to pay whatever they charge. These activities would deplete the reserves which medical aids are forced by law to maintain. The funds for the reserves come directly from member’s pockets – their medical aid subscriptions.

The Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, has expressed concern about the current situation and has spoken of his intention to establish an independent commission to look at the aspects of pricing with the ultimate aim of regulating healthcare prices. Obviously he will be opposed at every turn by service providers who benefit so enormously from the current environment at the expense of the working class.

We fully support an inquiry into the cost structure of the private health sector – hospitals and practitioners. We also call on all COSATU unions to take up this call so that the contributions from our members are not used to generate exorbitant profits for the private health sector.

Giving freedom of Cape Town to Obama is a political gimmick

Tony Ehrenreich, COSATU W Cape Provincial Secretary, 21 May 2012

The recent announcement by the Mayor of Cape Town, that Obama would be given the freedom of the City of Cape Town is reducing an important occasion of the City into a political gimmick. The announcement allegedly comes from Hunt Lascaris as part of the R70 million advertising budget that the public protector had criticised. Hunt Lascaris has thus far delivered nothing on its mandate and are coming up with such gimmicks to get the DA into the media. The mayor herself has failed to highlight and respond to the service delivery protest and now is seeking to deflect attention to other areas.

This announcement also goes against the protocol adopted in the Council in respect of the naming committee that was set up to deal with such matters. The intention of the naming committee is to ensure that consensus is built across society on the issue of special events in the City. This is also designed to ensure that there is consensus and buy in around such events so that it contributes to building of social cohesion in the City. It is these one sided gimmicks that further divides the City that is already the grossly divided in respect of the race and equality.

COSATU will be calling on the Public Protector to stop this violation of the Council’s procedures and waste of Public funds, by the Mayor. COSATU will further call on a City wide discussion on who gets the freedom of the city, and how all Capetonians are canvassed on their support for it.

De Lille is becoming just like Zille, running to the media with every hair-brained idea of her advisors without, following due process, and respecting democratic practices.

Court judgement silent on plight of Samwumed members

Nelisa Ngqulana, SAMWUMED Communications Officer, 21 May 2012

The North Gauteng High Court has denied SAMWUMED and the Board of Health Care Funders (BHF) leave to appeal a court case against the Council for Medical Schemes (CMS) and 12 other private sector organisations including the Hospital Association and Private Practitioners’ Forum.

The November 2011 judgement, upon which this leave to appeal was based on, did not deal with the merits of the case and instead upheld the technical points raised by the respondents and ruled that BHF lacked the necessary locus standi to have brought the matter of Regulation 8 to court. However, the court is silent on SAMWUMED’s status as a co-applicant appealing on behalf of its members. Many of whom are low-income earners from the local government sector and related services.

Regulation 8 of the Medical Schemes Act deals with the diagnosis, treatment and care costs related to Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs) of 270 regulated conditions by ensuring that even when medical aid benefits are exhausted the medical aids may not refuse to pay for treatment of these conditions.

Currently, many private healthcare providers – private hospitals, specialists(including radiologists and pathologists) blank cheque into medical aid funds and are forcing medical schemes to pay whatever they charge. This kind of open-ended liability threatens medical aid risk pools, these are funds which come directly from members’ pockets (through their medical aid subscriptions). In the absence of a fully-functional healthcare system, many workers have no choice but to resort to the private sector for much-needed care. Allowing private providers to charge what they like only serves to fatten their already fat coffers. From a patient perspective we cannot reasonably see how the Registrar can claim this judgement is a victory for medical aid members in the face of astronomically rising health costs.

SAMWUMED and BHF, on behalf of medical aids, are seeking to find a fair and regulated cost structure rather than allowing medical aids to be plundered.

The Minister of Health, Comrade Aaron Motsoaledi, has expressed his dismay at the current situation and has indicated intention to establish an independent commission to look at aspects of pricing with the ultimate aim of regulating healthcare prices. Obviously, he will be opposed at every turn by service providers who benefit so enormously from the current environment at the expense of the working class.

The South African constitution lists the right to health care together with food, water and security. Access to these needs is a right that every South African should have undeniable access to. The constitution further states that government must take legislative measures to achieve the progressive realisation of these needs.

The South African Local Government Bargaining Council (SALGBC) governs medical schemes within local government.
Currently five schemes, including SAMWUMED are accredited to cater for local government employees.
With its initial membership predominantly from the City of Cape Town, SAMWUMED re-launched itself nationally in 2001 when the benefit offering was significantly improved and Scheme administration was enhanced.
SAMWUMED is an accredited self-administered medical scheme.

ANC Women's League
Joint Statement from Alliance Gender Structures

Troy Martens, ANC Women’s League National Spokeswoman, ANC Women’s League, 19 May 2012

The Alliance gender structures, comprising of the ANC Women’s League, Cosatu’s Gender committee and SACP Women’s League* met to discuss a number of issues including policy papers ahead of the upcoming policy conference, the Progressive Women’s Movement, working with the Women’s Ministry, and the Commission for Gender Equity, among other things.

The meeting also addressed criticism of Cosatu, made by ANCWL President Angie Motshekga in the media regarding alleged sexist behaviour by Cosatu when confronted by DA protestors led by Helen Zille. The ANCWL President indicated the comments emerged due to the sensitive issues surrounding the treatment of women in South Africa and the high rate of abuse and rape. Cosatu explained that the stripping of Zille was meant in a political and ideological context and not a literal one, as a result of her posturing as a champion for the rights of the poor. Cosatu further explained that messages portrayed by individual protestors on boards are not the Union Federation’s position; the ANC Women’s League accepts these explanations.

The Joint meeting between ANCWL officials and the Alliance gender structures further discussed the issue of the reoccurring negative portrayal of women. The collective remains resolute in its views that men should desist from using gender discrimination as a means of tackling political opponents, and all agreed that men should desist from talking about women’s bodies as objects.

It must also be noted that the ANCWL believes the march by the DA was a deliberate provocation of Cosatu, we do not understand why they would chose to march to a trade union federation when they are opposed to Governments non-implementation of a project. They would have been better placed to march to Nedlac where this matter is currently being discussed.

The meeting also discussed the distasteful painting by Brett Murray currently being displayed in the Goodman Gallery. The Alliance gender structures detest in the strongest possible terms the vulgar portrayal of the country’s President. The painting is not only an insult to the President and to the ANC, but to all the South Africans who have been subjected to their President portrayed in this sexual manner. The painting is extremely insensitive and an expression of pure prejudice. It violates the integrity of the office of the President of the republic, and it violates his rights as an individual to humane and fair treatment.

The Alliance Gender structures demand the painting be removed from the walls of the gallery and from the internet where it is currently circulating and causing much humiliation to all patriotic South Africans.

The ANCWL, Cosatu and the SACP meet regularly and have always had an extremely good relationship; the Alliance will continue to work together to better the lives of women and further the programme of gender equality.

Joint Statement Gert Sibande District YCLSA, ANCYL and SASCO on March for Re-Nationalisation of Sasol

Gert Sibande ANCYL REC , YCLSA DEC and SASCO RTT, 17 May 2012

The ANC Youth League (ANCYL), Young Communist League of South Africa [Ufasimba] and South African Student Congress (SASCO) in Gert Sibande Region will mobiles its structures, those of fraternal progressive formations and the community to demand the renationalization of Sasol on Friday, 25 May 2012.

The march is informed by the YCLSA 1^st National Policy and Strategy Conference Resolution, the ANCYL 24^th National Congress Resolution and the 2011 Gert Sibande Progressive Youth Alliance (PYA) Summit Resolution which called for the re-nationalistion of SASOL within the context of increasing strategic public ownership of commanding heights .of the economy.

The call being made is not premised exclusively on the resolutions but also on the practical experiences young people of Gert Sibande District have come to share on the role played by SASOL in local economic development.

SASOL was established as a public entity by the apartheid government in 1950. In 1975, two more synthetic fuels plants; SASOL 2 and SASOL 3, together with five coal mines that supply feedstock, were commissioned in Secunda, now part of the Govan Mbeki local municipality. On the eve of the 1994 democratic breakthrough, SASOL was hurriedly privatised.

In excess of 35% of South Africa’s fuel is now produced at these facilities. In light of the unprecedented increase in living costs in general and transport costs in particular, that eat away at the meagre wages of the working class we deem it criminal for SASOL to continue using the Import Price Parity (IPP) model for its synthetic fuels. High oil and fuel prices not only impact those privileged enough to have motor vehicles, but also denies the poorest amongst us access to basic necessities like paraffin, on which many of our people rely as on a source of energy.

We express our concern at how SASOL still profits from an increase in oil prices and weakening rand, while its feedstock is coal, rather than oil, which is mined by its own subsidiary at cost and “procured” in the local currency.

The interim financial results for the organisation indicate a profit of R20.5billion for the FY12 financial year. These exorbitant profits are being generated in a community that is characterized by poverty, unemployment, shacks and uneven land distribution.

As the YCLSA, ANCYL and SASCO representing the young people of Gert Sibande:

· We call for the renationalisation of SASOL. We call our government to progressively increase its 20% stake in SASOL through the PIC and the IDC to be a majority share in SASOL.

· We call on the Minister of Finance to reconsider imposing a windfall tax on Sasol, which would be contingent on the expected exorbitant profits that can be made by SASOL in an economy with a weak dollar exchange rate and high oil prices. This tax can also be used to fund the e-tolling debt or funding for the construction of the University in Mpumalanga.

· We will demand the banning of labour brokers in general and SASOL in particular

· We demand a land audit from Govan Mbeki Local Municipality. We call for large tracts of land privately owned (Including SASOL) that are not being productively used to be rezoned and be made available for developmental and agricultural purposes

· We demand the intensification of the fight against corruption. The ANCYL, YCLSA and SASCO collectively call for an end in corruption both in the public and private sector.

The memorandum will be handed over at SASOL, Secunda

COSATU condemns portrait of President Zuma

Patrick Craven, COSATU National Spokesperson, 21 May 2012

The Congress of South African Trade Unions is disgusted at the demeaning portrait showing President Jacob Zuma, in the pose of Lenin, with his genitals hanging out. This picture is offensive and disrespectful not only to an individual but to the democratically elected President of South Africa and therefore to the whole country and the people of South Africa.

COSATU fully supports the African National Congress’s demand to the artist and the Goodman Gallery to remove this “distasteful and vulgar portrait of the president” from display and from their website and destroy all printed promotional material, and will support the legal action the ANC intends to take to enforce the President’s right to dignity as contained in the constitution of our country.

SADTU

SADTU calls for the immediate removal of Zuma painting

Nomusa Cembi, SADTU Media Officer, 18 May 2012

SADTU is joining the ANC and COSATU in the call to have the painting of President Jacob Zuma showing his private parts removed from the Goodman Gallery and on the internet with immediate effect.

We see no artistic expression in the painting, but an obscene, distasteful and blatant insult to the President of South Africa, President of the ANC and family man.

The painting has done untold damage to the president’s and the country’s image and dignity. Not only are President Zuma, the ANC and his family feeling humiliated, the majority of South Africans experience the same.

Our laws and constitution provide for freedom of expression. However, this freedom should not be misinterpreted to mean freedom to insult.

The painting is a provocative piece with a potential to cause further racial polarization in South Africa. It should therefore be removed with immediate effect.

NEHAWU condemns exhibition of vulgar, dehumanising and humiliating portrait of President Jacob Zuma

Sizwe Pamla, NEHAWU Media Liaison Officer 21 May 2012

NEHAWU condemns the crude likeness of President Jacob Zuma that is currently being displayed at the Goodman Gallery and shows him with his private parts exposed. This is offensive and shows a poor taste and lack of judgement from the artist and all those who gave permission for it to be displayed.

What is even more disturbing is that the City Press newspaper has published this picture on their website and has since refused to remove it. We all respect the right of artists and the media to express their feelings and for the media to play their role to hold power to account and one of the greatest successes of our democracy has been the entrenchment of media freedoms.

However, it is disturbing to sometimes witness the libelous kind of reporting and commentary that is sometimes characterized by bias and prejudice. If the objective of reporting is to bring about change then the negative patterns that strip people of their dignity is a very shallow strategy to pursue.

NEHAWU is concerned that other sectors of the media and arts sometimes come across as very detached from the history, dynamics and realities of our society. On occasions they suffer from hysterical bouts of sensationalism and indulge in disinformation campaigns that are based on outdated racial stereotypes.

The challenge for media outlets and social commentators is to look after the interests of the broader South African public and also to ensure that their viewpoints on stories are relevant to the viewers and readers. The tendency to copy western media antics is not helping anyone, the media has a mandate to spearhead a developmental consciousness and it is time for the media to re-evaluate the aims of journalistic reporting.

We feel that City press is doing a disservice to the media sector and by failing to show respect not just to President Jacob Zuma, but to the presidency itself, it illustrates that not only does it not respect its readership but that its takes it for granted. They have to decide whether the objective of their commentary and reporting is to build or destroy because this puts into question their integrity and also does nothing but polarize our society.

Our union finds it disturbing to see the emergence of a trend where journalists, columnists, cartoonists and artists are making news rather than reporting them. The coverage we have seen especially the one of Jacob Zuma has been humiliating, dehumanizing and has trashed his dignity and embarrassed his family. No one denies the media and artists their right to comment and probe but then this has to be balanced, factual, civil and respectful

The media has got a moral obligation to give a voice to the voiceless and all those who are at the bottom end of the socio-economic pyramid. It cannot afford to neglect some of its responsibilities like educating and informing in favour of entertaining the public with puerile and vulgar content.

ANC Gauteng calls on members to support court interdict

Dumisa Ntuli, ANC Gauteng Spokesperson, 21 May 2012

The ANC Gauteng calls on members to support the application for an urgent High court interdict against Goodman Gallery and the City Press for displaying and exhibiting so called portrait of the ANC President. The urgent application will sit at South Gauteng High Court tomorrow at 12h00. The painting showing the ANC President private parts is not only insulting but impugns the ANC President constitutional right to dignity.

The portrait is the work of those who hate the ANC and want to denigrate the ANC President under the disguise of artistic freedom of expression. The portrait is the abuse of artistic freedom of expression. What kind of freedom of expression when the portrait seeks to humiliate the individual and private life of the ANC President? We can only conclude that the portrait is silly and borders on insanity by Goodman Gallery and City Press.

All over the world freedom of expression has limits and no amount of infantile posturing by Goodman Gallery and City Press will stop the ANC for correcting wrong doing. The ANC President is a victim of those who seek to distract the ANC from its agenda of transformation. The portrait is morally unjustifiable and salacious to the extreme. We are confident that the ruling tomorrow would be in favour of the ANC. It will expose the selfish agenda of those who hate the ANC. It is also a sad state for Goodman Gallery and City Press to resort to degenerating into tasteless caricature for the sake of grabbing attention.

ANCWL GP condemns perverse art work by an equally perverse mind and calls members to support the president

Thokozile Magagula, ANCWL Gauteng Provincial Secretary, 21 May 2012

The ANC Women’s league in the Gauteng province is appalled by the derogatory picture by Brett Murray. This picture exposes his disrespect for human rights enshrined in the constitution and goes against principle and values of building a united nation.

As the ANCWL in Gauteng we fully support the ANC’s decision to take legal action against such blatant disrespect not only of the President but South Africans in general. We urge all members of the Women’s league in Gauteng to heed the call of the ANC and support the application for an urgent High court interdict against the Goodman Gallery and the City Press.

No South African despite the office they occupy deserves such disrespect and only a perverse mind would draw such malice depictions. We condemn the art work with the contempt that it deserves and hope that Brett Murray will use this time to do some much needed introspection on his values and ethics as a human being.

SACP
Attacks and Insults on President Zuma

Malesela Maleka, SACP Spokesperson, 21 May 2012

The SACP is outraged at the insulting, disrespectful, and frankly, disgusting, and sadistic so-called portrait of President Zuma by Brett Murray. This constitutes a grave insult not only to the person and dignity of the President, but an insult to all black South Africans and all other decent South Africans. This portrait is deeply offensive and an extreme act of provocation to the overwhelming majority of our people. To us Brett Murray has simply crossed the line.

The SACP equally condemns all those who defend this offensive portrait as part of freedom of expression. Freedom of expression has never meant freedom to insult and harm the dignity of another person. This kind of defense is a further insult to the millions of South Africans who fought for this freedom, with some sacrificing their own lives.

This kind of portrait shows the extent to which a section of South Africans do not respect the office of the President, the person of President Zuma, and the millions of black and other South Africans who take offence at this.

The SACP wishes to state it categorically that we did not fight for our freedom so that it can be abused by closet racists and all other reactionaries in the name of freedom of expression. Our principled commitment to building a united, non-racial society must never be taken for a sign of weakness. It seems as if the generosity of millions of our people is being taken for granted by elements that do not care a bit about the future of our country.

As a country we have come a long way to build social cohesion, peace and stability in our country. Such reckless and careless works of so-called 'art' are simply divisive and run the danger of undoing a lot of what we have done.

The SACP is deeply incensed by these developments. We defend the freedom of speech and free artistic expression but this portrait is simply not part of such. Artistic freedom and expression has to safeguard the dignity of individuals and nothing is more sacrosanct than dignity of individuals. The use of the ANC logo in the portrait is even more disgusting.

The SACP joins the call by the ANC, COSATU and all other decent South Africans that this portrait be immediately withdrawn and for Brett Murray to apologize for the offense this has caused to millions of South Africans.

YCLSA utterly disgusted at distasteful photo of President

Mangaliso Stalin Khonza, YCLSA National Spokesperson

The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] is utterly disgusted by the portrayal of the State President in a distasteful manner by Brett Murray of the Goodman Gallery. In the photo the President is seen in a pose made famously by Vladmir Lenin with his private parts showing.

As much as we support both freedom of expression and the right of artists to express themselves freely we also strongly feel that art should not be used to obliterate the dignity of others. We totally dismiss the lame reason that this photo is meant to stimulate debate.

How do you stimulate debate when you tarnish the image of others? What kind of debate is this that seeks to be debated by humiliating the state president by showing his genitals? This is a purely inhumane conception of debate and should never be allowed to flourish disregarding who might be the target of that art.

There is a thin line in freedom of expression and artist must be able to express themselves without producing work that is morally poor. As the YCL we feel that is an abuse of freedom of expression aimed at further portraying our state president as someone who lacks morals. We see this photo as nothing but an attempt by the Goodman Gallery to encroach the dignity of the State President through liberal art that is objectionable.

We note the refusal by the Goodman Gallery to remove the photo after pleas from the African National Congress [ANC]; and as the YCLSA we support the decision by the ANC to take legal action against them and will further lobby other members of society to understand that there is a reason why there is a limitation clause in the Constitution especially when in exercise of rights others encroach on others’

rights and hide under freedom of expression.

On freedom of expression, consolidating our common cultural outlook and “The Spear”!

Themba Masondo, SASCO Secretary General, 20 May 1012

As the South African Students’ Congress (SASCO), we have noted the impunity with which, at most, the South African media in general, and in this case cartoonists and artists, have sought to arbitrarily determine what constitutes freedom of expression with total disregard for the varying understandings of the freedom in question amongst the peoples of our country. The depiction of President Jacob Zuma in a portrait by the artist, Mr. Murray, with his genitals hanging for the whole world to see is indeed an expression of an opinion. An opinion, in our view, that carries on its back the most obscene form of human disrespect and degradation. It also expresses a one dimensional and Eurocentric ideological drive towards the determination of our cultural and value outlook as a people; that is the cultural and moral outlook of the new South Africa, a nation born out of the consolidation of various cultural persuasions into one.

The very depiction of President Zuma with his genitals hanging in the open is disingenuous, rude, disrespectful and, moreover, an attack on the social standing of the President both as a political leader and a father that has nothing to do with political squabbles for public office. Conversely, opinions about the superiority of one race over another are categorically opinions held by individuals whose right of freedom of expression, as human beings, must be guaranteed. However, there is relative consensus that such expressions of racial undermine and hatred are intolerable and therefore criminal in the face of the law because the cultural persuasion of majority South Africans has mutated to a point of recognition that there is such a thing as human dignity whose existence is must be protected.

What stands out quite arrogantly is the fact that an adult, let alone that he is a President, is subjected to public ridicule by exposing their private parts. This arrogance is ideological and an attack to the very value and moral systems of the majority African people and many other religious persuasions. Only the liberal and right-wing intellectual persuasions find it acceptable that an old man can be depicted with their manhood exposed. All of this is veiled under the now weak curtain of appealing to freedom of expression. Satire or not, there is nothing politically acceptable about a personalized attack on the President by drawing his genitals and putting them on public display. All forms of art work should be sensitive to the volatile process of a South Africa still striving to form and consolidate an inclusive cultural identity and value system geared at cementing social cohesion amongst the people of different cultural backgrounds.

The less we say about the populism echoed by some actions of David Shapiro, famously known as Zapiro, the more dangerous the attack on our social cohesion becomes. Notwithstanding the degenerate impressions his earlier depictions of President Zuma sought to fly through other cartoons, it was quite populist of him to validate the work of Mr Murray by venturing into the same inappropriate antics as well. On the Sunday Times of 20 May 2009, Zapiro’s cartoon of a shower coming out of President Zuma’s pants was nothing more than a populist exploit of his excess to public platforms and undermine of Zuma all in the name of denigrating the person of the President in the same manner as Mr Murray. We are not against people opposing corruption, cronyism, patronage and any other form of degenerate political relations. However, no opposition to these justifies the use of inappropriate illustrations at the expense of people’s rights to dignity and the African value of respect for the elderly.

As the South African Students’ Congress, we remain committed to the pursuit and protection of all freedoms and consolidation of our democratic identity. In the same light, we view the limitation of freedoms as necessary so long as such freedoms overlap to the infringement of other people’s freedoms; in this case, the dignity of President Zuma being the right under attack. We do not express the above views from a purely partisan vantage point. On the contrary, we are opposed to any systematic consolidation of an exclusivist determination of our national culture, including what is acceptable within the democratic discourse that all South Africans are committed to hegemonising.

All that is appropriate for the safe pursuit of our democratic consensus on matters of expression and all would be the removal of the portrait of President Zuma from the gallery concerned and an apology from Mr Murray. After all, there is such a thing as a weakness in judgment with no deliberate intention to cause harm.

COSATU supports dti on relabeling of Palestinian products

Patrick Craven, COSATU National Spokesperson, 21 May 2012

The Congress of South African Trade Unions warmly welcomes and fully supports the decision of the department of trade and industry that certain goods originating from Israel must be re-labelled to indicate they actually came from Occupied Palestinian Territories.

A well-known example is cosmetics from Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories which are being distributed in South Africa as products that originate in Israel when in fact they are manufactured in Mitzpe Shalem, an illegal Israeli settlement located in the West Bank near the Dead Sea. The dti rules now mean that their products now need new labels if they are to continue being sold in South Africa.

The South African government correctly recognises the State of Israel only within the borders demarcated by the United Nations in 1948, which do not include Palestinian Territories occupied after 1967.

COSATU emphatically rejects the argument of an Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson who has accused the Minister of Trade and Industry of racism, by “singling out of one side of one conflict out of all the conflicts in the world.”

The federation reaffirms its support for the Palestinian solidarity campaign for boycotts, sanctions and divestments (BDS) of Israel, which draws much of its inspiration from the success of the boycott and sanctions levelled against apartheid South Africa to force pressure on the Israeli government.

Rocks launched from DA lines

Douglas Prahm, 20 May 2012

I witnessed the following events described on 15 May at the corner of Seimens and Bertha Street in Braamfontein, where I captured cell phone footage of Cosatu supporters and bystanders being pelted with rocks launched from DA lines. I am a neutral party unaffiliated with either Cosatu or the DA; I was incidentally present at the scene due to the proximity of my office. I was unaware a DA march to Cosatu house was planned that day.

The attached video clip does not do justice to the volume of incoming missiles I observed at the time (video cannot register small fast moving objects) however, if you listen to the audio you can distinctly hear the loud multiple pings of stones hitting the balcony we were sheltering behind. The structure was constructed from canvas tarpaulin supported by a thin metal frame, ergo every “ping” represents a rock striking only a minute part of the overall structure; the vast majority of rocks never hit that tiny target to register on audio. The pings audible on the clip thus account for a small fraction of the rocks directed at Cosatu lines which had broken just prior to filming this video. This should give you some semblance of the actual intensity of the barrage.

Only four Cosatu supporters are visible remaining in the line of fire, the bulk of Cosatu supporters having retreated out of range (the video is unfortunately misleading in this respect as it appears to only show Cosatu supporters throwing rocks, this is due to the fact that the footage was shot from Cosatu lines, DA belligerents are tiny background specks in a shaky video). The rocks they were returning mostly originated from the DA side to begin with. Furthermore a car in the street had dents and smashed windows orientated towards the DA marcher’s side only; you can clearly see rocks in the street which could only have been thrown from DA lines.

Similar footage of the episode vindicating Cosatu as sole villains of the peace has not surfaced simply because I (unintentionally) appear to be the only person filming from Cosatu’s perspective that I am aware of at the time. The various photographers and journalists present seemed to be positioned behind the police cordon close to the DA contingent on the opposite side of Bertha Street.

The DA also demonstrated remarkable cynicism by utilising the police presence as a buffer for their repeated attempts to flank Cosatu blockades, whilst simultaneously loudly accusing police of not doing their jobs. The police were outstanding at defusing the situation throughout and only responded with force as a measure of last resort, clearly precipitated by the probing actions initiated by the DA in their attempts to reach Cosatu house. The police were the only faction to emerge with dignity from this episode, a testament to their professionalism and restraint obvious to any unbiased observer that day.

Hope this helps balance opinion, also please excuse the profanity contained in the video!

Youth wage subisidy will only turn unskilled unemployed youth into skilled unemployed youth!

Ravhandalala Murulane, 21 May 2012

As much is this idea of youth wage subsidy has merits, the de-merits far outweigh the merits. The youth wage subsidy will just create a reservoir of skilled unemployed youth and the proponents of this stupid idea, are short-sighted and can't see the problems it will create, ours must be to create decent jobs and not give capital tax-breaks while they exploit our youth!

I once participated in bankseta's letsema learnership, the learnership which was designed to give young people experience so that they can be employable after the learnership. The thinking was that they would have gained adequate experience after the end of the year-long leanership and would thus be employable and will be placed by companies after completing the learnership.

The salaries of these learners are paid from the skills levy by bankseta, the employer does not pay the learners and monies spent on training the learners are tax deductable, so in essence, the host banks do not spend a cent on these learners. Prima facie, this idea sounds like a progressive one, but upon proper discecting of what's really goes on in practice, we then see that this good idea has been abused by capital in order to minimize labour costs and in turn maximize profits.

The learners are sent to host banks, and the "RED" bank is the one that gets a majority of these learners, then the "green" and "torquise" banks take the residual of the learners, the "blue" bank was no longer hosting learners. The red bank will take 2 learners per branch, one is placed at the tellers and one at enquiries, but the learnership in the first place is a financial advisory learnership, but the learnership is turned by capital into a teller learnership, so theirs is not to train financial advisors but to use the learners in irrelevant departments not for their developmental advantage but in order to reduce the wage bill and thus meet their selfish ends.

These learners after a month are fully trained and can do the same job as someone with 20 years experience, meaning that for the remainder of the 11 months these learner's are not trained but are being exploited, as it is cheaper to use these learners than hiring permanent employees or using casuals provided by the explotative labour brokers, capital prefers learnerships.

The red bank has gone as far as to create its own parallel learnership without bankseta, they take in new learners and pay them the same R2500 as bankseta, they take this leaners 9 months after the bankseta leaners have started, so that after a year when the bankseta learner leaves their learner from the parallel learnership must be fully skilled and working so that when the new bankseta learner comes, service in the branch is not compromised and so the cycle continues.

The thing though, is that upon completion the learners can't get employed because, these banks just take new learners from the large pool of unemployed youth and so the exploitation continues. This old learners won't get employed by labour brokers and won't find permanent jobs as the new learners are doing the jobs they were supposed to be filling upon acqusition of the skills from the learnerships.

So in essence, the capitalistic red bank has seen that this large pool of unemployed youths can be exploited for decades to come, so theirs in the first instance is never to give the youth experience so that they can find employment, theirs is to benefit from cheap labour, that is why you find that in some branches of the red bank, if it has 10 personnel 5 are on learnerships, 3 are permanent staff and 2 are from the exploitive labour brokers. So these capitalists have long seen that the labour broker days are numbered and are now using learnerships as a feeder.

I have gone to great length to show where this youth wage subsidy comes from. The youth wage subsidy is just a refined idea by capital which stems from these learnerships, capital knows that the army of unemployed youths will sustain their desire for cheap labour and profit maximazation for decades to come, the youth wage subisidy is a tool of exploitation, South Africans must just come together and create decent jobs and not entertain this stupid idea. Capital itself is the first to admit they won't be crearting jobs, but say they will be skilling the youth to be more employable, but what is the use of training the youth who will not find employment at the end of the day?

Its senseless, let us not allow capital to prostitute our youth for its selfish profit maximazation greed. I submit the youth wage subisidy will only turn unskilled unemployed youth into skilled unemployed youth!

Shoulder to shoulder: South African workers and WFTU

George Mavrikos, WFTU General Secretary, 20 May 2012

A book on Moses Mabhida, Mark Shope, Eric Mtshali and so many other heroes of the South African Trade Union movement, their internationalist contribution and the great support they received in the liberation struggle from WFTU and the class-oriented unions around the world...

The prologue of the book says:

Dear comrades,

It is a joy, an honor and, at the same time, a duty of the World Federation of Trade Unions to express its respect towards the heroic struggles of the working class and the People of South Africa who conducted hard class struggles for their political liberation, for the abolition of apartheid.

In this heroic struggle the WFTU from 1945 until today has been fighting shoulder-to-shoulder together with the pioneer militants of South Africa. The history of the trade union movement in South Africa from 1945 until today is simultaneously the history of the WFTU. The comrades who were martyrs in that struggle are also martyrs of the international class-oriented trade union movement of the International Working Class, are also martyrs of WFTU.

This book is the least we could do to honor the thousands who died in the struggle, for those who gave their life against the capitalist exploitation and the imperialist barbarity.

Dear brothers in South Africa.

No struggle goes to waste. The long years of struggle brought the results of the great changes in 1994. Great changes that need to be completed with radical overthrows in the level of economy, since we all know that this is the heart of the policy. We continue...

We continue the struggle for a society without injustice and class exploitation. For a society where the wealth-producing resources will belong to the Peoples and not to the capitalists and the multinationals. For a society in which the means of production will belong to the working people and not the bourgeoisie. For a socialist society...

This value of this book is to be estimated by whether the youth, the next generation of militants of the trade union movement, will derive lessons and experience from it, to continue the struggle with more faith and more boldness.
