South Africa: Auto Workers Build New Communist Collective

The following is a report from three comrades who work in an auto factory in South Africa. These are all new comrades.

The week before there was a club meeting to which Comrade Themba came for the first time. The other club members explained the party’s ideas to him. He said he wants to learn more and agreed to help distribute Red Flag at work, which the club planned.

Comrade Silumko: Well we have just been distributing Red Flag here at our auto plant. It was a great honor sharing knowledge and to give Red Flag to people. I must say that the whole pile just went so quickly because everybody was interested. So all the guys took the Red Flags.

The response was very positive because all the people are suffering and now they can see that there is actually a solution for this, which is only by mobilizing the masses to join ICWP for communism.

From our distribution of Red Flag, I got about five contacts from my co-workers who were very interested. I promised to get them in the group.

Comrade Kuhle: I’m glad that I received the Red Flag today. Thank you to Comrade Silumko and all of you comrades. I went all over the plant and then people were happy. Then they wanted to hear more. I wish that they could have known better because they wanted to hear more but we only had a little time because we were at work and then others wanted to go home, you see. What I would like is that if the three of us ever have time to share what we know, because they look really interested.

Comrade Themba: I got five contacts today from people interested in the Red Flag and this movement. It is important to push this movement. The people were very interested. They took all the Red Flags.

Maybe tomorrow they will want more because a few of them didn’t get them. They asked me many questions about ICWP. They said they would read it and give me feedback tomorrow. I promised tomorrow I will come back.

Thanks a lot, comrades. That’s our day.
