National Secretary General of Bolsheviks Party Fanie Mogotji has urged the masses to register to vote and have their voices heard in a democratic country.
Mogotji also urged the youth to come out in numbers to participate in the gains of democracy by casting their votes during the much-anticipated general elections to be held this year.
“I urged people to register to vote and have a say. The voice of the voiceless needs to be heard to change the challenges that we are facing in this country as a nation. The youth are the future of tomorrow, their voice is imperative and potent. They must ensure that they protect their democracy because they are the future leaders of tomorrow,” he said.
Mogotji who has been campaigning throughout the country after the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) Chief electoral officer Sy Mamabolo has confirmed that the registrations for the upcoming elections have exceeded the 27 million mark urged South Africans not to compromise their votes by voting for the ANC which has failed to emancipate them from all forms of depression.
Mamabolo said this is for the first time since the dawn of equality that the registrations grasped that historical milestone while briefing the media about the IEC’s status in Pretoria ahead of its second voter registration weekend.
Mogotji urged voters to vote for the Bolsheviks Party because it has embarked on accelerating service delivery to the people without compromising their integrity. He pointed out that the ANC has failed people with continuous load shedding debacles, water scarcity, unemployment, poor health sectors, dilapidating infrastructures and damaged roads with potholes affecting motorists.
“There is a need for a change of leadership in the country. We must get rid of the deadwoods who are sleeping in parliament, departments, municipalities and government sectors. We urge voters to give our party Bolsheviks a chance to change their lives. You must never compromise your integrity because you are still trapped in the past. Bolsheviks has embarked on emancipating the people of this country from all forms of depression without fear,” said Mogotji.
He also said Bolsheviks Party will leave no stone unturned to fight corruption which has subjected the country to state capture.
Mogotji told The Azania that a true Bolsheviks member should possess the following characteristics:
(i) He must possess very good Bolsheviks ethics.
He can show love and loyalty to all his Comrades, revolutionaries and working people, help them unconditionally, treat them with equality and never harm any one of them.
He always tries to do more revolutionary work than others and to fight harder. In times of adversity, he will stand out courageously and unflinchingly and, in the face of difficulties he will demonstrate the greatest sense of responsibility.
He is able to resist corruption by riches or honours, to resist tendencies to vacillate in spite of poverty and lowly states and to refuse to yield in spite of threats of force.
(ii) He possesses the greatest courage. He can see his mistakes and shortcomings and has sufficient willpower to correct them.
At all times and under all circumstances he speaks the truth and nothing but the truth. He courageously fights for it even when it is temporarily to his disadvantage to do so.
(iii) He has a thorough understanding of the theory and method of Marxism-Leninism. He has an objective attitude.
(iv) He is the most sincere, most candid and happiest of men. Apart from the interests of the Party and of the revolution he has no personal losses or gains or other things to worry about.
He takes care not to do wrong things when he works independently and without supervision and when there is ample opportunity for him to do all kinds of wrong things.
He does not fear criticism from others and he can courageously and sincerely criticise others.
(v) He possesses the highest self-respect and self-esteem. For the interest of the party and of the revolution, he can also be the most lenient, most tolerant and most ready to compromise and he will even endure, if necessary, various forms of humiliation and injustice without feeling hurt or bearing grudges.
The Bolsheviks Party represents not only the interests of individual Party members but also the long-range interests of the entire body of workers and the emancipation of mankind; the Bolsheviks Party has no other interests and aims.
Mogotji said however the party must not be regarded as a narrow small group like a guild which seeks only the personal interests of its members. Whoever holds such a view is not a Bolshevik.
“A member of our Party is no longer just an ordinary person. He is a conscious vanguard fighter of the working class. He should prove himself a conscious living representative of the interests and ideology of the working class. He should thoroughly merge his personal interests and aims in the general interests and aims of the Party and the working class,” Mogotji said.
“Bolshevik revolutionary has his personal interests, and the Party should neither eliminate his personality nor prevent personal development, as long as these do not conflict with the interests of the Party. This is what is meant by the unconditional subordination of the personal interest of a Party member to the interests of the Party.”
Lesiba Manaka from Groblersdal said Bolsheviks Party under the leadership Mogotji is a force to be associated with. “I’m definitely enthused by Mogotji’s transparent leadership of confronting the challenges that we are facing in the country. Our state-owned entities have collapsed under the ANC leadership. I have decided to join Bolsheviks Party which I believe will emancipate us from all forms of depression,” Manaka said.
Comfort Ledwaba said: “Bolsheviks Party is ours and we love it. I’m going to recruit my family members to register and vote for Bolsheviks Party which is the future of tomorrow. We are tired of empty promises in the name of amandla,” she said.
