- Description: T&G Congress is over for another 2 years. Now we have the task of acting on the important resolutions that Congress took. About 400 delegates came to the Congress at Pietermaritzburg University to take our union forward into the 1990s. Comrade Harry Gwala, a member of SACP and ANC, and comrade Pozo Zondo, an organiser from NOW (Natal Organisation of Women), came to speak to the Congress. Comrade Gwala pointed out that the working class in tiie factories and townships and rural areas will win the struggle. The working class must lead this struggle. Church people, sports people, peasants and intellectuals must also take their part. We must work towards socialism because without socialism there will still be many problems. Gwala said socialism is still alive. The marches in Eastern Europe in most countries are to make for a better and more democratic socialism. Comrade Gwala said that it is the duty of all union members to make a people’s democracy under the leadership of the working class. We can only enter negotiations with the government if the working class is in a very strong position.
