May be we are ignorant or stuborn or like to hear our own voices. It is so said to hear how low we can really be. The PAC was never and will never be the property of Skwatsha let alone mpahlele. This PAC is the property of the Masses, we owe our loyalty to the ones that built this party and those who sacrifised thier livelihood for the total leberation of Azania and the unification of Africa. We sound like scrached CD that do not want to move forward and history will judge us all for staggering the advancement of the african cause.
I so wonder what would have happened if plaatjie was the President, how would the general masses welcomed him as president and how would those who supports Letlapa had acceped him. We should never be side tracted by personalities, but rather exhaust our energies in finding lasting solutions, than breaking away. Pokela will never rise again to unite the party, we, myself and you comrade should stand up for what we think is right within the framework of the party structures. About the Election and Revolution. I wonder how you want to lead a revolution without the masses. All revolutions that I know off were backed by masses. PAC in its current state is not even in a position of initiating a coup, thanks to Makwetu's leadership that left chaos and confusion amongst the APLA forces. I repeat what I said, we must be sobber now and not be consumed by emotions. PAC accepted the electoral process in 1993 and took part elections since 1994, and the current leadership inherited that legacy left by the Makwetu administration. Comrade "SABS" before he suddan death (May his soul rest in peace) said to us that we must be vigilant and we should know that the Azanian masses are behind us. Unfortunately he never lived to witness the faillers of the PAC. PAC got 1% and the forces were scartered all over the contry demoralised with no sense of direction, there were no way in hell that the PAC could have launched a military coup. In conclusion son, a revolution is a mass base struggle, through election and constant political education, the PAC can gaige its strenght for a total takeover, but we are failling the first aim. Seeing myself in the sleeping benches of Parliament was never my dream, but there are people that must go. its not the PAC that wants that, but the electoral system dictates the parliamentary criteria. As for me, I don't qualify, skills let alone the patience of condoning rubish! I agree with you when you say we should reconcile, unite and endevour to achieve the aspiration of pan africanism as invisaged by the class of Sobukwe. I hope all branches in the Western Cape will send deligation to the election summit that will be held tomorrow lookout hill. I will be there.
