I'm of the view that if the party joins the action, it should ensure that it provides guidance and leadership to not only the residents but to the social movements involved, hence I support the need for a clear strategy in anticipation of the reaction by those in authority, in keeping the morale of these people high and united, in mobilising various other sectors like workers, students, churches, etc in a sustainable programme. Maybe this area could be used to test the party's effectiveness in mass mobilisation work, its ability to lead the masses and as a kind of a build up campaign in popularising the party as the country is headed for the 2011 municipal elections. Let's recall there were such actions where the party made some earth-breaking maneouvres like in Bredell but the action floundered as there was no clear strategy and tactics in place to sustain it. What lessons can be drawn from the Bredell action? What I also think is important is to actually spell out in advance what the party's objectives, short and long-term, are when it participates in this action. I say this in order that the Zuma government may not be able to react in a way that criminalises the PAC. Izwelethu!! Mawande Jack

Whose land? Our land? We only invade it if it belongs to somebody else. This is our land, whites took posession of our land and what it is happening in Motsweding is reposession. Us calling it land invasion negates our claim of ownership.
