Part of OR Thambo Address in 1976 Solon Mahlangu College , he ask the similar question when we asked when Numsa was expelled by Sdumo, but we never asked the question Who is Sdumo who master Minded ,Numsa was expelled by affiliate and leaders in COSATU which Numsa formed ,He asked the question who is the ANC dealing with the expulsion and banning of the ANC in South Africa hunted in the whole of the Africa Continent : And who is the ANC? What is this body which is being told to leave southern Africa? It is the body which started politics on the continent. I think we were formed even before the Nationalist Party of Botha. They got the idea of forming a party from us, even. We are the beginning of the political struggle which has brought independence to the countries of southern Africa, and these fascists say that we must leave Southern Africa thats the same Question ? Numsa leadership reflects on when it comes to Numsa expulsion in Cosatu and its implosion and he went futher to say ; Well, comrades, history does not work that way. We are more surprised by what has happened than demoralised by it. We think this is a way of guarding us on to the battlefield, to the battlefront for liberation. We think what has happened is thoroughly unnatural, politically and historically, and cannot survive the forces of justice, national liberation and emancipation. We think a people who have been in the struggle for as long as we have are not going to be deterred because some of them have been arrested in that country, some of them have been ordered out of that country. Some, because those who have left Swaziland are a drop in the ocean in relation to the masses that are involved in our liberation struggle. Those who flew out in virtually a day`s notice from Maputo are a drop in the ocean in relation to the vast masses that have been involved in our struggle. And we have suffered more than leaving the country. We have suffered the Soweto massacres. We have suffered shooting all over the country. We have suffered torture countless times for many years. We have suffered hangings. We have known what it is to be a Solomon Mahlangu. We have known what it is to be Elias Motsoaledi, Andrew Mlangeni, Aggett, Kathrada and various others. Dorothy, Thandi, Jerry Mosololi, we have known all that. So it is nothing to get on a plane and fly from Maputo to Dar es Salaam, is it? A flight from Maputo to Dar es Salaam, no problem. No problem. Detained in Swaziland, maybe, for a few months. But we know what it is to be detained for 22 years. A little inconvenience. And so the struggle goes on. And we hope that our people everywhere have become more determined as a result of these things ( Metal workers )I love you ....but lets read and ready .
