For the first time, the congress discussed crime. Hijacking, rapes, murders are by far the highest in black areas. We need to stress this. If we don't SAPS person power is going to be concentrated in areas where economic power is based. Disadvantaged areas will continue to be disadvantaged and unsafe stated Cde Godongwana in his address to Congress.
Crime is centred around the socio-economic problems experienced by our people.
But criminals do not have the right to hold the country to ransom responded Mpumalanga. It agreed to step up our efforts to make sure we achieve our demands by 1998. It decided that we will discuss detailed responses at a Bargaining Conference to take place before April 1997. We should not fall into a trap where employers arrive in a plant and embark on a programme to take the market. If other comrades are on strike we must not agree to take their market share.
