...our way forward will be determined by theì
response from the MEC for Local Government [GROUPì
OF DEMONSTRATORS TOY0TOYING IN BACKGROUND] whichì
is Comrade Dan Mofekeng...
10.49.45 DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME HE'S COMING
10.49.57 ...we hope that there will be a changeì
seeing that there is this kind of reaction towardsì
it. I think to any responsible leader, this sendsì
a clear signal that people on the ground, workersì
in particular are not happy about the Proclamation
10.50.22 ...it means that the achievements thatì
the workers have gained are in a way now takenì
away. If you are going to give those powers againì
to the sub-structures -
10.50.38 because that alone, that suggest to usì
that we'll be faced with 4 different employers toì
bargain with. You'll recall that we achieved aì
very great deal on this year's wage negotiationsì
because we were to embark on negotiations with 1ì
single employer which is the TMC.
10.51.10 This action is not directed to the TMC;ì
it's not directed to the ANC - it is only directedì
to the Proclamation. It's not even directed toì
Comrade Dan as a person; it's not a personalì
thing.
10.51.29 It's directed to a Proclamation...
10.51.51 ...there is no response as yet that weì
got except the statement that one has read in theì
Business Day re: HE WILL ONLY RESPOND TO US WHENì
WE HAVE SHOWN A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY
10.52.24 WILL PATIENTLY WAIT HERE FOR HIM TO COME
10.52.48 AT END OF DAY HE [DAN] IS OUR LEADER
10.53.06 ...but if there are wrongs done by him...
we have a right to say, Comrade here you are goingì
wrong...
10.53.58 ...we are not expecting any grapes orì
apples from the DP & the NP. They are going to sayì
anything destructive so that we can be seen asì
people who are trying to destabilise the Novemberì
elections...
10.54.15 ...as SAMWU we support & we will alwaysì
encourage our members to vote in November becauseì
those elections means change to us.
