Mantashe says Blade Nzimande needed for 'revolution'

Communist Blade Nzimande was made Minister of Higher Education because he was a revolutionary, metalworkers heard in Boksburg on Tuesday.

"We need a person who understands the concept of the skills revolution: that the skills revolution is critical for the success of this country," African National Congress secretary general Gwede Mantashe told a mini national congress of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa.

"Therefore, you need a revolutionary to do that revolution," he said.
