Thank you M'Afrika Hulisani for your clarity. One have to ask isn't PAYCO who take this person for the political dustbin back to the center stage and now you failed to control him. You are saying now as PAYCO are not the PAC because of one person. Noble son you attended the Fort Hare or Alice you failed to use media at your disposal to distance PAYCO/youth of PAC from that moment because of car insurance now you want us to take you serious. You are doing exactly the same thing that was done by Mashao to Mogoba come up with the rescue plan of how do you get us out from this mess you putted us in. If you are saying M'Afrika Nofuma and Aubrey are serving in PAC structure to advance IOTA. PAYCO NEC what is that these Africanist must do now because you are chicken out of this man and his crew you decide to run away because its too hot. Please you can do better than that it was you PAYCO who talk of 20% for 2009 now you are running away. We need to ask ourselves if whose interest are you serving? Do you want to open a new political party or what are trying to achieve by this of decampaign your PAC? By doing this you just give them weapons to do as they wish of implementing their so-called "youth league". it becomes justifiable to ordinary members and people on the street. Try to rethink this careful stop emotions and be rational please? Its humble request from us as ordinary PAYCO members.
