Comrades in this piece of writing I would like to remind many of us about the gold olden days of our revolution when many of us in this country were so much afraid to mention the word APLA, the name which was so much associated with PAC. Also the likes of Thabo Mbeki’s dared to mention the name PAC. All the imperialists’ countries and their local servants were so much afraid that their ill neo colonialist and capitalist conceived plans for this country were on the verge of collapse because of the relentless armed struggle waged by APLA under the PAC. That was when hope was installed in every traditional authority, townships and villages around occupied Azania that at last Azania shall be free and under an Africanistic Socialist order. That was the time when many of us were so mute that we were afraid of being victimised for being associated with the movement that is associated with APLA. Today under this neo colonialist order we think that we are so much free that we have a right to do and say as we wish about the name PAC. Even mice around this country have got something to say about PAC. PAC name is so synonymous to the smelling takkies we daily wear that the name PAC is reduced to nothing and can be used by and claimed by any other person who so wishes to and go unpunished. Here comrades I am referring to an individual or individuals who think for some reason they have a right to this movement that they can organise a convention without any mandate. The last convention that was organised in this fashion yielded the formation of PAM. I don’t know what are the plans now for this convention? Irrespective of being disgruntled by the current leadership there is a constitutional guidelines to be followed. Whether the 1959 or any other amended constitution there are guidelines to be followed. At least a portion of the existing membership or structures of the party (for argument sake say one third of the membership) should be thoroughly consulted before a decision of such nature can be agreed to. Where the current organiser of this convention does took a mandate to organise such a gathering? How many PAC branches, regions or provincial structures were consulted? Which constitutional mandate was applied in organising such gathering? When was the agreed time and date for this convention? I think Mo Afrika Ntonzima knows he is wrong in this matter. And him and the people he represent should do away with this convention at least until a proper channel is followed or there is an agreement for such gathering. Let’s not address our problems by instituting wrong moves. In this fashion our problems will be carried over and not resolved. My last question is on the leadership of this movement as to how do they allow things like this to perpetually happen without taking drastic measures to discipline and or call to order people who continue to sow the seeds of divisions and frustrations in this movement? For how long will we continue like this? I think PAC has reached its zenith on the matter of factionalism and centralised corrective measures should be taken to radically address these persisting problems in the organisation. If the oath of allegiance protocol should be implemented let it be so. Let’s bury factionalism and build this organisation based on the programme of action. Izwe Lethu!!
