Liberation war and/or counter revolution?

It’s on extremely rare occasions were the class perspective is given the prominence and context it deserves. But today the opposite is true and the SACP has become the “ANC tailist”, just like these left organisations said. For us to be able to move forward, we firstly need to address the elephant in the room as to who really sold out our revolution. Many people are pointing fingers somewhere else while others are cautioning us from pointing those fingers, even where they genuinely should be pointed.

So, when the negotiations were concluded and the 1994 national elections were held and the ANC ascended to power, the Mandela administration was cognizant of this fact. The unilateral lifting of the armed struggle at the time when negotiations were far from conclusion, points to this reality. It was the diversion from that programme led our country and continent to where we are today – the brink of a politico-economic collapse. It was not white monopoly capital or the lack of implementation of radical economic transformation, if you like.
