Shilowa and other leaders to attend court Monday - COPE(S)

Archie Ralo says prayers will be pouring in from all walks of life

COPE DELEGATION LED BY PRESIDENT MBHAZIMA SHILOWA SHALL DESCEND ON SOUTH GAUTENG HIGH COURT ON MONDAY MORNING

President Shilowa accompanied by strong delegation of Cope leaders from all provinces shall descend upon South Gauteng High Court this coming Monday, 5th December 2011, to defend Cope from hyenas who betrayed the objectives of Oliver Tambo, Jullius Nyerere, Chief Luthuli and many African Internationalists who believed firmly on African agenda as supreme in their daily political conduct.

These leaders shall be representing millions of South Africans who have sleepless nights about the future of their country. They shall persuade the presiding judge to open space for Cope to operate without hindrances from self styled super opposition leaders.

Surely, as processes shall be going on inside, prayers shall be pouring from all walks of life asking God Almighty to be with them in the revolutionary  task assigned to them by masses of our land.

It is indeed our hope that the matter will be settled once and for all.  Our country needs COPE more than ever before. Our clarity of thought has always informed us that we are a party of the future, an honest and disciplined force of the left. It is in this regard therefore, that we are more determined than ever to carry out this task without fail despite hostile environment we find ourselves in at present.

We look forward to our December 15 to 16 Consultative Conference in Bloemfontein with the hope that our activists shall experiences that which haunted us for two years with joy and pick up our spears to greater heights. 

We call on all loyal and honest members of the Congress of the People to remain steadfast and keep their eyes on the ball at all times. Whatever the outcome of the court, the Congress of the People must continue rise from the bottom and reclaim its rightful position and role in the national political landscape. We must continue defend the soul and heart of Cope at all costs. We must rededicate our efforts in saving this noble idea of the people of South Africa for a vibrant alternative to ensure the success of the ideals of the Freedom Chatter.

Victory is certain, the struggle continues!
