If there are activists in Cosas and they do poorly academically, then they would be cited as examples as to why others should not be in Cosas.
— Kgalema Motlanthe
I have a political attitude, but I'm certainly not a politician.
I know exactly what I will do. I will go and work with the Congress of South African Students.
Once it gets to a point where it becomes a matter of life and death to occupy a position of leadership or not, with an eye on future opportunities, therein lies the danger.
I don't want to lead an organization where I have no sense of what the members think of me - and by arrangement. I would never do that.
