Remember Chris Hani in 2010: Waging a relentless struggle against corruption!

08 April 2010

This year marks the 17th Anniversary of the dastardly assassination of Cde Martin Thembisile ‘Chris’ Hani, the former General Secretary of the SACP.

The SACP will hold commemorative activities across the country under the theme of waging a relentless struggle against corruption.

We must carry this message of the fight against corruption into every voting district, municipal ward, workplace, community and into all corners of our country, reaching out to the workers, the poor, our youth, women, traditional leaders. Let every SACP branch, district and province ensure that we have an explosion of red forums and red cards against corruption in every locality and workplace where the workers and the poor are!

In all this we are informed by our own analysis, and indeed by that of the alliance as a whole, that corruption currently poses one of the most serious threats to the consolidation and deepening of the national democratic revolution.
