[Marxism] ANC preaches to its choir

[glparramatta <glparramatta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) and the Young 
Communists League (YCL) took issue on Tuesday with African National 
Congress (ANC) national chairperson Mosiuoa Lekota over his remarks 
about those singing the freedom song, Umshini Wami...  [Lekota] 
condemned those singing such songs as being izibhanxa (brainless or 
fools) ... "He argues that songs sung at this juncture have to be 
consistent with the key messages of the ANC. In his view these messages 
must be about reconciliation, peace and development." Cosatu said if 
these views were left unchallenged, they would "certainly mislead a 
whole new generation of cadres".
