South African ruling cadres to be loyalty-trained in PRC

8-1-18    The secretary general of South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC), Ace Magashule, has announced that ANC cadres will be trained by the CCP before next year’s South African general elections.  The ANC will be sending around 300 cadres to the CCP’s training academy to “learn more about party discipline and loyalty.  ...
  According to Magashule, Chinese officials would be “employed to assist local government executives in implementing a powerful communications strategy.” Magashule reportedly said there was a lot to be learned from CCP expertise in “strategy and propaganda.”‎...
  From June 1 to 8, 2018, Magashule led a delegation of the ANC National Executive Committee to China, to foster “party to party relations with the leadership of the Communist Party of China and reaffirming ties between the people of the two nation-states.”...
   If things go according to plan, the CCP’s ideological grip may soon extend to most of sub-Saharan Africa.....Magashule quoted Mao and then said:  “The school will train a new African men and women who will have the capacity to take the account of the complex world realities.  Men and women who will have the capacity to carry the revolutionary task for the transformation of the socio-economic landscapes of our mother continent.
  “As a matter of historical necessity it will be a center of excellence for ideological and theoretical ferment of the new African cadre of our times.  An African cadre who will have the potentiality to halt the massive ideological onslaught by the forces of reaction against the world revolutionary movement.  We are confident that in the Communist Party of China we have a loyal ally whose illustrious acts of solidarity remain the springboard of our continuous struggle for nation building and formation.”    https://www.theepochtimes.com/communist-party-of-china-strengthens-grip-on-south-africa_2610110.html

  1. Another once flourishing country and economy going to waste at the hands of tribal amateurs. No wonder the farmers are heading to other countries to save their livelihoods let alone their lives. Seems that Mr. Mandella has a lot to answer for. And we thought that the old style communism was almost dead. Even the Chinese are smart enough to not brag about their world dominance aspirations, which apparently the RSA govt. has not woken up to as yet.
