SACP Message to SADTU NGC, 25 November 2011

Introduction

On behalf of the Central Committee and about the 140 000 members of the South African Communist Party, I bring fraternal and revolutionary greetings to this important National General Council (NGC). Your NGC is taking place in the midst of a persisting crisis of capitalism globally and all its negative impact on our own country.

Together Let Us Build Working Class Power in our Communities- by SACP General Secretary Cde Blade Nzimande at the Launch of the 2011 SACP Red October Campaign
 
 
We are in that time of the year when the SACP launches its popular Red October Campaign. Our Red October Campaign is inspired and seeks to take forward the spirit and the victories of the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917 in Russia – ushering in the first workers’ government in the 20th century.

The General Secretary of the South African Communist Party, comrade Blade Nzimande;
The Chairperson the South African Communist Party, comrade Gwede Mantashe;
The entire leadership of the party from all levels
 
Comrades and compatriots;
 
Please accept greetings from the Congress of South African Trade Unions – COSATU
 
We feel honoured to have been invited by our ally the SACP to this important gathering which marks the launch of the 2011 Red October Campaign.
