SAMWU KZN REJECTS FAKE APPRAISAL FROM BHEKI MTOLO AND STANDS WITH NEHAWU

South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) in Kwa-Zulu Natal is not pleased nor impressed by attempts to divide workers in the province, by one political lunatic, masquerading as Provincial Secretary of the ANC in KZN. A failed Provincial Secretary, who led the ANC to her demise in the province is supposed to be ashamed and humbled. ANC electoral support dwindled from 54% to mere 17% under the leadership of this Tik Tok clown.

Instead of Mtolo being preoccupied with strategies of organisational renewal, he decided to attack workers without any provocation. In the quest of cementing his place within the ruling cabal and attempts to avoid disbandment of the Provincial Executive Committee, he chooses to wage unwarranted war against the workers of our sister Union, NEHAWU.

As SAMWU we do not need fake, stinking praises from this scoundrel. Not so long ago the lumpen was calling for mass dismissal of more than 2000 workers at Ethekwini Metropolitan. He labelled SAMWU members, that were fighting for better working conditions and wages hooligans. He attempted to turn the residents of Ethekwini against SAMWU members. He failed, as he always fails in everything he does. Now that he is waging a senseless fight with NEHAWU, he makes a turnaround and praise SAMWU members for revolutionary work that they have always carried out. We needed his praises in all the relentless struggles that we have waged in the province, in various fronts. He chose to be an enemy of workers instead, he even forgot that we are in alliance through our federation, COSATU.

We refuse to be a tool of this madman. We also refuse to be pitted against our NEHAWU by this disgraced secretary. We are calling on the ANC reign over this political liability, who seems to be eager to finish of what is left of the ANC in the province.
