President reminds Sasco of its role in the pursuit of the so-called national democratic revolution, while SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande calls on Sasco to help fight corruption in the country.

But Ramaphosa was not interested on Sunday as he instead gave a speech that was more of a history lesson of Sasco.

“In this regard, Sasco's success is inexplicably linked to ANC success in building an educated society based on the vision of the Freedom Charter which was drafted by our forebears. But Nzimande, unlike Ramaphosa, also touched on current burning issues such as corruption, which he described as the biggest threat to the progress of the ANC and SA society at large.

Nzimande also called on Sasco to lead the fight against other “organisation regressive tendencies” such as factionalism which threatened the very existence of the ANC-led alliance, which includes SACP and Cosatu.
