Comrade Mawande
You seem to suggest that those who remained within the PAC have done the noblest thing on Earth. According to you, those who left PAC and re-launched PAM have done disservice to both PAC and the African Revolution, and to be harsh, they are traitors to the African Cause. Correct me if I am wrong! Please answer the questions below to the best of your ability. Bear in mind our engagement on this matter is also intended to clear the cloud in many people’s minds about the latest developments within the Pan Africanist fold. I invite other comrades to assist you to answer the questions posed to us by history. Firstly, are we not engaging ourselves in a chicken and egg situation here? What comes first, is it PAC or the African Revolution? Which one of the two is the means to an end, not an end itself? Is it PAC or the African Revolution? Is PAC the product of the African Revolution or the African Revolution the product of PAC? Remember: PAC was launched in 1959. The African Revolution was there even before the arrival of the Whiteman in Africa (That is, long before 1652). It is clear PAC is the product of Revolution. PAC is one of the means to an end (*Revolution’s logical conclusion*). PAC is not the only mean to an end. I repeat: PAC IS NOT THE ONLY MEAN TO AN END. Before 1959 it was not even one of the means to an end Who are the traitors to the African Revolution: Those who remain on their trenches defending the PAC name while the Revolution is being betrayed in broad daylight, or those who are in mortal combat defending the African Revolution against its enemies and enemy agents? , Secondly, what counts most, the mortal body or the immortal soul of an individual or an organisation? Which one is wise and honourable to do: To fight defending the dead body (corpse) of an individual or organisation or to die defending the immortal soul of an individual or organisation? To defend PAC name or the PAC soul? Which one is more honourable to do, comrade Jack ???? Lastly, why Sobukwe and Zeph Mothopeng did not die defending the ANC name as its loyal members as many of you claim? Who, among the ANCYL leaders, did the wise and honourable thing in 1958: Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo for remaining within the ANC no matter what, or Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, Zeph Mothopeng and Potlako Leballo who broke and formed the PAC to be a pace-setter? Why Robert Mugabe left ZAPU and formed ZANU instead of dying defending AZAPU name? Why V.I Lenin left the Mensheviks and formed the Bolsheviks instead of dying defending Mensheviks name? The list is endless from the lessons of Revolution. They all left their parties to dedicate all their lives on what they believe in, not in defence of Party name? Sobukwe, Zeph, Maketu, and others went to the 1959 Launch not knowing the PAC name. \What was important to them was not the Party name, but the African Revolution which was in danger of being bertrayed. They left with the soul of ANC as cusodians of the 1949 Programme of Action. Makhe ndibe ndisima apho (*temporary pause*). Izwelethu! I-Africa!
