Revolutionary greetings,

Thami Ka-Plaatjie is quoted in an article on the 25th May 2010 by
Sowetan's Zukile Majova as having said "We have come to realise that the
best possible vehicle to take our people forward is none other than the
ANC." It is further reported in this same article that Ka Plaatjie
yesterday said his latest move marked an end of at least 26 years in the
Azanian block which, at first, comprised the PAC and Azapo and now
includes the Socialist Party of Azania, African People's Convention and
Pan Africanist Movement [sic], the article is attached herewith for easy
reference.

For starters, as far as I'm concerned Ka-Plaatjie is prevaricating and
circumventing issues here, did it really had to take him close to
quarter a century (26 years to be precise) to realize that his new found
political home (ANC) is the best possible vehicle to take our people
forward [sic]. Didactic poppycock indeed!!! Was it necessary of him to
stand so low and resort to this form of rhetorical slander and rumour
mongering, so as to prove his worth to his new found colleagues? Maybe
ka-Plaatjie is labouring under an illusion that he is a big catch to the
ANC, if that is correct he is making a very big mistake indeed.

 

Surely, if a brainless crank and a political imbecile like Malema can be
a president of one of the most vocal component structures in the ANC and
an intellectual dodo like Zuma can become a head of state, surely there
is something wrong with their organization. Ka-Plaatjie is too smart to
have not seen a flaw in that, we all know Ma-Afrika, suppose you follow
my drift. The fact of the matter is that Ka-Plaatjie is under severe
pressure from the likes of Paul Mashatile and the ANC's top brass to
provide more cogent reasons for his myopic move, and eventually deliver
the entire PAC membership to the ANC. He is trying hard to appear
rational in his decision. And thus will ultimately be rewarded
handsomely for a job well done. 

It has always been rumoured that Ka-Plaatjie has been offered an
ambassadorial posting an offer he apparently couldn't refuse, in one of
the African state either Sudan or Namibia. There is no smoke without
fire, mark my words. Ka-Plaatjie has further misled a sizeable portion
of our great cadres, the likes of Charge-In Mabaso, Tefu the list is
endless and dumped them into what has since become a white elephant -
PAM. It is further reported in this same article that again Ka-Plaatjie
has defected with some PAM members from Sharpeville township outside
Vereeniging to the ANC. This clearly indicates one thing that the man
has no backbone in politics and to put pupae like him on positions of
political power can bring ignominy to a party. I therefore call upon all
those noble sons and daughters of the soil to come back home to the
party and reclaim our place in society.

Any rejoinders or surrejoinders herein!!!

Ka Plaatjie joins ANC

 PAM, Cope and UDM also lose members

 

FORMER PAC general secretary Thami ka Plaatjie has joined the ANC.

Ka Plaatjie yesterday said his latest move marked an end of at least 26
years in the Azanian block which, at first, comprised the PAC and Azapo
and now includes the Socialist Party of Azania, African People's
Convention and Pan Africanist Movement. 

Before his move to the ANC Ka Plaatjie broke ranks with the PAC in 2008
to form the Pan Africanist Movement (PAM), of which he became president.


This followed a long squabble in the PAC between his supporters and
those of party president Letlapa Mphahlele.

Ka Plaatjie, pictured, yesterday said his decision to abandon the PAM
for the ANC wasn't easy but was well-considered. 

"We have come to realise that the best possible vehicle to take our
people forward is none other than the ANC," he said.

He said he wanted to be part of "progressive formations" to deepen
democracy in South Africa.

"The ANC is a vehicle that is in constant movement and we want to join
that vehicle.

"We come to the ANC to re-identify ourselves with our own history and to
close gap with the history that took place more than 50 years ago when
Comrade Robert Sobukwe and others walked away from the ANC," Ka Plaatjie
said.

The PAC broke away from the ANC in 1959 following disagreements over
issues such as the ANC's adoption of a nonracial policy as opposed to
only championing the African cause.

Some PAM members from Sharpeville township outside Vereeniging also
moved with Ka Plaatjie to the ANC

"We want to bring a pro-poor conscience to the ANC," he said.

An executive member of the Cope in Gauteng, Jabulani Mahlangu, has also
rejoined the ANC. 

He promised to persuade fellow Cope members who left the ANC to rejoin
the party.

"We are saying we want to bring people who are doers and we want to
bring about creative thinking.

"We are making a clarion call to all the people who left the ANC to
return," Mahlangu said.

On Sunday 27 members of the UDM in Mpumalanga also deserted their party
for the ANC.

Among them was Thabisile Msiza, the UDM's national organiser. 

They were all paraded before ANC president Jacob Zuma during his visit
to Nkomazi.
