Jay Naidoo, former Minister of RDP and former general secretary of COSATU, was interviewed on Talk Radio 702 by John Robbie this morning. The man is spitting fire. The firebrand is spoiling for a fight. He represents thousands of comrades who feel the direction that the revolution is taking is not what countless cadres laid their lives for.
The number of comrades who are under investigation from the police is overwhelming to say the least. We seem to have underestimated the aroma of power from the erstwhile comrades north of our borders. When you raise ideological issues with comrades, you risk being labelled a counter-revolutionary. So comrades choose the easy option and keep quite.
What we have are useful idiots who have become nothing but praise singers and chanters of slogans. These are idiots who have not drank from the well of Chris Hani, Vuyisile Mini and countless cadres who have since departed from this world. Those who remain,particularly in the NEC have shamefully become church mice, not because they are poor, but morally they are. They have kept quite when the leaders of the movement have been publicly insulted by the younger members of the movement.
What some of need is the voice that can reconnect us with the movement that we dearly love.
