- Description: The Northern Cape Region of Potwa held a very vibrant regional congress in Vryburg on the 15 & 16 April 1989. The Congress was characterised by a spirit of comradely self-criticism. This political maturity of the comrades went as far as to give a proper critical analysis of the structures of our organisation. The analysis accepted that the functioning of some of our organisation’s structures is not up to standard. The congress also noted that the participation of the general membership in the activities of the organisation is not satisfactory. As it is typical of matured comrades, the congress realised that such problems are not peculiar to Potwa. Shortcomings such as these are indicative of a huge and growing organisation. Because of this, the comrades explored ways and means of solving these problems. The congress concluded that the opening of a regional office combined with effective usage of our Potwa newsletter would go a long way in solving some of our problems.
