Comrades Revolutionaries are thoroughly idealistic persons who even in situations of great difficulty, where scores of others have completely lost all hope, usually emerge optimistic and confident about positive future prospects of a better era beyond the immediate hardships, trials and tribulations, especially the one now facing the PAC. Comrades Notshiza and Mohlomphegi including the host of others in Payco, in the party in general and from the PAM reminds me most forcefully of these idealists with a long-term vision of a New Order for the PAC founded under the most trying and difficult times by Mangaliso Sobukwe and other notable Africanists. Whatever happened to anyone of us, now and in the past, must never deter us from recognising the most fundamental principle that the PAC is an indestructible and invincible political force which would outlive us as individual members not matter what our wishes could be. As long as imperialists, neocolonialists and its sidekicks continue to subject this country, Africa and the world under its predatory orbit, and as long as oppression and exploitation of man in the order of the day and as long as Azania is not free, the PAC will continue to face these problems. What happens within the party, is essentially, a microcosm of the wider global battle and war to dislodge these evil systems. Imperialism and its domestic neo-colonialist forces is on the offensive, seeks to annihilate all revolutionary forces in order to gain a free hand in its rapacious bloodthirsty project. With the apparent failure of the imperialist backed ANC liberal capitalist project and the sudden upsurge of mass upheavals which euphimistically are known as "service delivery protests", imperialists are cognisant of the fact that the natural home for these disillusioned Azanian masses is the PAC with its message of land reconquest, seizure of power and wealth beneath the soil. Every enemy attempt is being make to make the continuing "instability" within the PAC a permanent feature and the strategy is to create a situation where PAC members mistakenly blame each other not the real enemy for the challenges facing the organisation. This is a kind of an enemy's displacement strategy where we no longer employ our ideological tools as techniques of analysis of the situation but seek instead to employ a bourgeois liberal viewpoint in examining situations from individual failures, weaknesses and imperfections. Revolutionaries talk about social forces not individual personalities and analyse situations from the perspective of group interest, or whether from a point of view of race, class, nation, gender, etc. We need to continue with our engagement even if it pains so much, we will come with a solution one day and restore the party to its former glory. This is part of the struggle at the level of ideas. Let's not tire or want to give up, the exerice is most exacting but we will win finally. The truth indeed is that "we have lost our path" and "le's continue searching", we have the whole history, the whole continent and our people aspirations and future on our side. There are no shortcuts in the revolution, Ma-Afrika. As such I wish to urge our members to be creative and imaginative, be magnanimous and not be petty or narrow in the approaches, be thoroughly selfless and show absolute humility and display vision. Revolutionaries are pessimists. Victory is certain. Izwe lethu!!

The struggle of the Jigsaw patern tells us there is nothing wrong with what is happening in the party. The problem is the level at which this is happening. Like a jigsaw our struggle is at a backward stroke and we cannot expect much cutting. What we are doing now is that we are clearing the decks. At the moment the Africanist Movement is conducting a retrospection. The movement is in a self battle to try and find itself and particularly its position in the whole Neo Colonialist settlement. In other words we are clearing the decks. The battle is on and the field of operation is Azania. Azania is slowly but surely approaching the last phase of revolution. People need to know that this stage yields frustration and dispair. All poor little oportunist amongst us will be exposed and only cadres who have and still continue to stand the test of time will remain. Those who are leaving are making our work simple. Being angry at each other and swearing at each other will never change the situation. The truth is we have lost our path. Lets continue searching, at the end we will find the way. Lastly comrades simple solutions will never yield any progress.

The confusion in the Africanist family is just but one example. The challenge is not to hurl insults at each other,trying to score cheap political points over nothing. How did you understand Chairman to mean when he exalted,'Let the thousand flowers blossom,let the thousand ideas contend'. Raise the level of debate not personalities. Izwe Lethu.
