I agree with you fully. We should seize this moment for a huge mass
upsurge and engender widespread discontent, mass outrage and disgust
among the masses of our people. But all this requires careful planning
and organisation for us not to repeat the mistakes of the past where
masses got into spontaneous action but lacked leadership to guide and
sustain the movement. I appeal to those in the PAC steering committee to
travel the length of the country, meet with Africanists and help create
local campaign structures for the planned action, establish links with
other community organisations, other political formations not in the ANC
Alliance, youth structures and trade unions for a common programme.
Initially it would be to foreground a set of short-term demands around
services and ultimatums to mobilise communities in unending protests.
This would be followed by mass rallies addresed by the PAC Steering
Committee, leaders of Payco, Pasma, and other leaders from other
formations including churches and trade unions. In these gatherings, a
national programme of the PAC and a declaration of the Africanist
agenda, vision of a new society should be made public.
An intensive media and publicity campaign should go hand-in-hand with
this.
Structures established around the country to not only focus on action
but to popularise a new vision of an Alternative Society : a new Azania
- call it whatever we like.
Endeavour to launch these campaigns to coincide with the 2010 Soccer
World Cup for a huge publicity stunt that will catch the attention of
the world and millions of our people.
Disgruntled individuals and groups from the ANC and other formations
should be won over.
Let's also work very hard to bring all our cadres (from 1960s, 70s, 80,
and 90s) back to the PAC fold through this unfolding campaign.
With the kind of campaign executed in earnest, one sees the old PAC
petty divisions and inner party antagonisms dying of its own accord as
everybody will be more occupied with the campaign for it to reach its
final outcome.
These are my suggestions.

Hi Mandla
My analysis last year was out of experience of the social and economic
factors that give rise to general uprisings and the conditions that made
March 1960 and June 1976 possible.
The high unemployment; inability of the youth that are school leaving to
find jobs or access education; the urbanisation of poverty with rural
people moving into urban areas with the increase in informal
settlements; the fiscal conditions that make it impossible for
government to deliver on social issues are ingredients for an uprisings.
Added to this is the high level of corruption at local and provincial
level.
Another factor is the increase of homelessness amongst farm workers. The
fool Skwatsha with no understanding of revolutionary conditions thought
that a revolution is a mirage. It is not.
The same conditions globally that inspired the rise of the BCM movement
are visible and here at home it is just a lack of leadership to
co-ordinate the uprisings and to make the country ungovernable.
It is happening in former Eastern European countries; Greece is on the
throws of a mass revolution; Spain and Portugal will follow suit.
The songs are not go to go away because of a judge or ANC and their
agent Malema. It is the masses that will determine that.
Currently; if we can give direction to the service delivery protests we
can push for far reaching changes.
Kind Regards
Cunningham Ngcukana

Dear Comrades
Where are these racial tensions heading too? Are we now going back to
what was not dealt with 15 years ago? Is this the turning point in the
so called "democracy"? Comrade Ngcukana once said in his address during
the Sobukwe Commemoration in CPUT that there will be an insurgence in
this country very soon and the current gov. will not be able to control
the uprising of the masses. We have seen the glimpse of that in all
these service delivery protests across the country and as well as the
students' protests in institutions of higher learning.
Lastnite on e-tv AWB SG, Meneer Visagie was dealt with ngu Lebo Pheko
and decided to walk-out live on national TV causing drama and issuing
out threats. I just want to know for my own benefit if this is just one
those issues or if this is a significant element that will bring about
insurgence on top of the economic and service delivery issues that this
country is faced with.
Lastly, the ruling party is now gonna review all the liberation songs
and do away with all the songs that can be viewed as fueling racial
tensions. Where is this country heading to? Pls see attached.
Regards
Mandla
