izwelthu Great point mo afrika in no way i discredit the statement of the spokesperson but we as the organisationg we have been fighting for the attention of the media and they are now covering our news,but let us not speak trough anger let us correct malema history ideas in the pan africanist spirit.
kwaheri former pasma n.e.c national organiser mokonetaole cell 0842884063 office number0534441829 fax0534441829 Comrades, I happened to have watched and listened to Malema’s utterances about the ANC leading the 1960 anti-pass campaign. It is clear that many other Pan Africanists (either members of the PAC, sympathizers of the PAC or any other African person who subscribes to the liberating and scientific ideology of Pan Africanism) watched and listened to him with trepidation. The critical question is “how then do we respond, and not react, to Malema’s statement?” I have had time to read Sello’s Media Statement critically. The 4thparagraph does a sterling revolutionary job in setting the record straight and even goes to the laudable extent of quoting the ANC verbatim with regard to their perspective of the intended action by the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania then. The 1st, 2nd and 4th paragraphs are exercises in spewing anger and literally assassinating Malema’s character. Is this how Revolutionaries in general and Pan Africanists in particular, based on the understanding of their “LINE”, would handle issues in general and respond to provocation in particular? I am not going to interrupt and adulterate his mini-discourse with my personal response to the question I am cognizant of Comrade Mawande’s correction of the use of terms with regard to “counter-reactionary and counter-revolutionary”. I thank him for that as he is being revolutionary in his approach. We need to assist one another. In the manner that Sello has responded to the provocation by Malema, has he actually reacted to what and who Malema is or did he respond to what Malema’s was saying. This begs for another crucial question “Has the Azanian/Africanist revolution been about individuals or has it been about the ideology and the ultimate liberation of Africa from the shackles of colonization and imperialism?” Let us trace the origins of any revolutionary ideology from a Marxist-Leninist perspective. Simply put, it begins with the *concrete analysis* of the *concrete situation* in which the colonized, oppressed, exploited and dehumanized find themselves. After this scientific process has been completed, the outcome or result is handed back to the masses for ownership. As Chairman Mao puts it, it will be *“from the masses to the masses”*. Is there anything that the colonized, exploited, oppressed and dehumanized masses are gaining in the three (3) paragraphs as contained in the Media Statement? Revolutionarily, all that the response is igniting is a mudslinging match between himself (Sello) and Malema. Is this what the revolution wants? Is this what it needs? Will it keep the revolution on track? Let some of the above questions work on us!

Media Statement
MALEMA MUST STOP TELLING LIES ABOUT PAC!
The Pan Africanist Youth Congress (PAYCO) of Azania rejects ANCYL President, Julius Malema,s foolish lies that the PAC 'hijacked' the Positive Action Campaign which resulted in Sharpeville-Langa massacres, on 21st March 1960. For Malemas information, this was a national campaign which took place throughout the country and Sharpeville got the prominence because multitudes of unarmed and peaceful protesters, were killed by trigger-happy apartheid police.
