Lies have very short legs. This is perhaps what those who have been spreading lies about the SASCO Free Education March should have realised. First; It was a Sunday world journalist who's Arithmetic is very suspect, alleging that we convened around 150 students for the march really shows that the journalist was not a very good student of Maths since students arrived with 17 buses full to capacity and others just walked to the convergence point. Then, there is Setlhola Meleko who wrote an opinion piece on the Sowetan (May 11; 2012) making much unfounded allegations.
Many comrades who made comments directly to the author on the first part of this article - either through Facebook, email or smses seem to have put both their hands in their heads looking at the bleak picture that was presented of our organisations. Let us first appreciate the fact that comrades read the article and made comments but let us also not put both of our hands in our heads, in shock of the problem before us. As Revolutionaries, we should put our hands in good use in resolving the various challenges pregnant in our organisations.

The South African Students’ Congress (SASCO) is extremely angered by the delay in delivery of results of a sizeable number of students who are studying Nated courses in most public colleges. We hold a firm view that the incapacity of the colleges and the department of higher education must not affect the smooth running of our education system, in particular the interrupted studying by students. So far; students who are not receiving the results are in a serious quagmire as it relate to their studies.

As the South African Students Congress (SASCO) we are deeply delighted and overjoyed at the manner in which a rented crowd of the DA was dismissed, through all means by the workers, youth and students of this country. We are inspired by the manner in which workers defended their main house, COSATU House.
NEC BulletinAs usual, debates in our National Executive Committee meeting were lively; heated but comradely. One of the liveliest of these discussions was the debate around the Free Education struggle in the face of pronunciations by the ANC and Presidency in the January 8th rally and the State of the Nation Address.
The Red SparkThe Red Spark, the Theoretical Journal of the South African Student Congress has left its infant footprints on the ideological soil in South Africa. An apology to our detractors is at this stage necessary. If you thought the Red Spark will somewhat disappear into the unknown, we are really sorry to disappoint you. The only place that this Journal is going is higher and forward. At a time of low morale and ebb in the theoretical and ideological realms in the country, Journals such as the Red Spark are ever more relevant.
