Dear Comrades
Developments regarding the above are as follows: Letlapa applied for leave to appeal and the leave application was heard on Tuesday 04, 2009. The court declined leave to appeal. This means that the Judgemnt in the matter stands. In short, Dr. Pheko remains a member of the PAC and the Alice Constitution is null and void. This means that leadership which was elected, any activity and or/ decision of the party conducted in terms of the nullified constitution is of no force and effect, with immediate effect. The implications are that the leadership elected in Alice is officially declared illegitimate. It has been politically illegitimate all along. Furthermore, the ruling has created a leadership vacuum and crisis because the PAC has no leadership nationally and in some provinces, to the extent that such leadership were elected in terms of a nulliffied constitution. The old constitution is automaticaaly reinstated. In terms of the old constitution, only the NEC can call a congress. Therefore none of us at the moment, including Letlapa and or/ his cronies has a right to call a congress. It will take a court declaratory order to get a committee which will be impowered to administer the party, in the interim, whose ultimate brief will be to convene a congress. Any process that is not sanction by a court in view of the constitutional implications of the ruling will always be susceptible to a legal challenge, and such activity will have no prospects of successful defence. We know that Letlapa is in parliament and has tasted foreign habits of sleeping in a comfortable bed, bathing in a clean tub, access to free telephone, contituency allowances, close to a million salary, heavily subsidized accomodation..., so he will fight tooth and nail to remain in parliament. His first inclination is that because he is no longer president, his position in parliament is vulnerable and he can no longer use his power to intimidate concillors throughout the country or to reward patronage using parliamentary resources. So he will fight to remain in office, as leader of the party, solely to use this as the only guarantee to remain in parliament. All those around him will do the same beacause of fear that if their man falls, they will also fall and lose benefits they currently enjoy due to their proximity with a man, who at this point in time is in a position to behave like Father-christmas towards them. This analysis is based on the fact that Letlapa and cronies are chronic careerists who have used PAC for personal benefit. It is critical therefore that we take a solid approach, otherwise the PAC will be in and out of court forever. In this regard the issue of Transitional Authority becomes inevitable. In the meantime Letlapa may decide to clutch at straws and approach the Supreme Court of Appeal for leave to appeal. Still he will have no prospect of success. Even if he gets leave to appeal, he has a huge mountain to climb for him to secure a favourable ruling in the actual appeal. As far as we are concerned he must consider himself a dead man so to speak! Izwe lethu!
