The decision to participate or not to participate should be based on the current state of the organization, how as a member of the PAC am I suppose to go out and campaign for the PAC in the election? while there are issues of leadership that we are failing to address, mainly the constitution, I was denied, together with the members of my branch to participate in the Alice congress mainly because our so called tickets to the congress "membership cards" were not issued although we submitted forms long before Alice and met all requirements to attend, but unfortunately for us, we only received our membership cards in November four months after the congress, Now my question is why is that Africanist that were at that congress see it fit that we should endorse the NEW constitution, which by the as a branch we had no input on what must be in the constitution, this is the same document that speaks of funny terms like PAC youth league, and woman's league, that we know nothing about, where in the history of politics you find a leader of the mother body changing a name of the youth wing of the organization without even consulting with the youth, unless he is a dictator, only PAYCO congress can change the name and amend its constitution thereof, this goes for PAWO as well, in my view the people who betrayed the movement are those who went and adopted a constitution that was impossed on them, military style in Alice.
When PAYCO campaigned for Letlapa to be President in Qwa-qwa, it was with the view that he will advocate for unity and party building, setting up political schools, and the Sobukwe house and he said in his own words that after his term he will step down that was his mandate, non of that has materialized, unless I'm living in another country, BIG mistake and now yes we must live with it, I dont think so. As young people subscribing to PAYCO we are still waiting to see who is this youth league and their leaders, and who are they leading. Letlapa has caused so much confusion amongst ordinary members and will carry on confusing us for the next 10 years, as HIS constitution states that he might stay for two 5 year terms as the president of the PAC, Now the question I'm putting forward to this platform is why should I vote for a leader who does not recognize me as a representative of a legal YOUTH structure like PAYCO? and for the record ordinary citizens dont know who Letlapa Mphahlele is and what views he represents, come to KHUTSONG you will understand what I'm talking about, going to elections will not solve our problems, lets rather go to a special congress and right the wrong, we deserve to be given a platform to raise these issues, prefably not in Eastern Cape, maybe at a rather neutral province like North West.
