The National Executive Committee of SASCO would like to wish all its members, all students, our alliance partners and the broader society a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
The year 2022 has been a challenging year for our members, students and society as a whole, intermediated by a litany of challenges, ranging from pillaging economic conditions, sustained blackouts and soaring fuel prices.
Whilst we have convincingly overcame the worst of the pandemic, remnants thereof are still felt and the impact thereof still hampering our colleges, universities and society.
SASCO and the broader Mass Democratic Movement further suffered a torpefying loss in the year 2022, when we lost the 21st Deputy President of SASCO, Comrade Buyile Matiwane. We have however committed that the life of Cde Buyile, a life dedicated to the struggle for a prosperous South Africa and a united international community of all progressives, shall carry on to aid and guide us as our revolutionary compass.
Notwithstanding all these challenges, we must commend our members and students for arriving erenow, for it required much courage and commitment.
To those that lost their loved ones this year, we proffer our outmost and unpretentious condolences and well wishes of strength, healing and restoration.
We must also take this time to congratulate the African National Congress on a successful National Congress. We must congratulate the branches of the ANC for the character and composition of the current NEC, which resembles a sense of renewal, energy and youthfulness.
As we approach 2023, SASCO will ensure that starting off with registrations, the RTLC will be in full swing. Our members across the country are ready and committed to ensuring that children of the of the poor and working class have access to institutions of higher learning across the country.
Let us once more, wish all our members, all students and their families a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
