The position of party building on party unity.
Party building department of the party agree on the question of party unity.
However party unity must be understood in context. When we talk party
unity, we must first understand what is the party.
The party is the structure of the party, namely the branches, regions,
provinces and the component structures, such as youth league, student, women
and etc.
Party unity does not concern itself with individuals who operate outside
party structures and non-pac members.
Pac belong to its structures and the basic structure of the PAC is the
branch. If you do not belong to a branch of the PAC, you exclude yourself
from the structures of the PAC including its component structures. It is so
because you cannot lead a party component structure unless you are a PAC
member and you belong to a branch.
One of my responsibilities is to ensure that party structures are formed,
have programmes and are functional. I did not come across disunity in this
party structures. In other words there are no issues which divide branch
members. They are in fact united around party programmes.
The same cannot said to be said with component structures. However this
should be understood in context as well. You do have people who are members
of the branches of the PAC, who do not accept the constitution and the
leadership of the PAC and are in fact not members of the PAC but claim by
the virtue of the fact that they once belonged to the PAC component
structures, in prison, in exile etc they don't have to belong to the PAC
branches and have equal rights to the part structures.
This people think they have the right to choose who become the president of
the PAC and that if they do not recognise the president of the PAC, them he
is not the PAC president.
When the current president of the PAC took over the presidency he outlined
two main tasks. One is to take the PAC back to its rightful owners, which
are the branches of the party and two, to give PAC a shape.
This means all party members must belong to the branches. No one must claim
to be a party member while he does not belong to a party branch.
Two, the branches must have programmes with mass participation of their
communities. They must lead the communities in addressing their problems
and their needs.
All genuine members of the PAC now belong to branches and are working at
their different branches. But you have those who refuse to belong to the
branches and participate in PAC programmes. Their main reason is that they
do not recognise the current leadership.
The founding fathers of the PAC and the constitution of the PAC from its
inception highlight the branches as the basic structures of the
organisation. It is clear therefore that you cannot claim to love the PAC
and strive to unite the PAC which you are not its member. It is our argument
that party unity belongs to party branches and structures not people who
dispute party leadership and non party members.
To call for a unity meeting you should have identified areas of disunity and
the level at which they exist.
The dynamics of the alleged disunity in the party component structures are
as follows:
APLAMVA
In the Aplamva the root cause of disunity is political and its origin is the
formation of PAM. The section of Aplamva that is lead by Fihla belongs to
PAM. Majority of its leadership and membership belongs to PAM. In their
recent Ipelegeng Congress their main focus was on PAC president. They
attached the PAC president and resolved to isolate him as an individual.
Their initial tactic was to take Aplamva away from PAC t oPAM and they
failed. The leadership of Fihla Aplamva are not PAC members and therefore
there are basis for unity discussions with them. We know what they are
interested on is the name of Aplamva. So that they can continue to source
project form government for themselves. This grouping is not really
interested in unity, their actions and programmes are aimed at undermining
and weakening the PAC as an organisation.
Payco never recognised any president of the PAC and it only exist at
national leadership level. It does not have branches, regions and
provincial structures. It is composed of a group of individuals who focuses
on attaching and undermining the structures and the leadership of the PAC.
Payco does not have a programme other than insulting and defaming the
programmes and the leadership of the PAC. They do not hesitate to form an
alliance with any one who is disgruntled with the PAC to haunch their
attach.
PAC is having its youth league which accept both the constitution and the
leadership of the PAC.
While party unity is important and must always be encouraged, we cannot
unite revolutionaries and reactionaries, members and non members without
seriously compromising the party itself.

Africanist we must be vigilant, the media is not right tool for now ,
because it is controlled by western people. MOST OF THE TIME WE SAY THAT.
The masses are waiting for us out there, the facebook and google is not
going to bring unity within the party.
We are not politicians, we are revolutinaries ma-afrika. The masses are
waiting for us, we must ask ourselves what do we want from achieve within
the space of time.
Pan-Africanism is does not preach about disunity, it speaks about unity.
I strongly feel PAC is the only solution to the current problems of africa,
what is required is members to unity.
let us love one another, we must not be enemies. The dream of 1963, 25 May
it is still there.
But we must be willing to change our personalities for the sake our people.
I am not old in politics, but i see there is huge problem within the ranks
of our movement.
I am currently doing my academic research on the politics of azania and turn
around strategy that can be used to get the opportunity to get support from
the masses.
It nice to know what happen pre-1994, and that was mistake that was caused.
In a revolution if something didn't work out, there is a need to reshape and
move forward.
I am currently reading Sun Tzu on the Art of War, I recommend to all
africanist to get hold of the book so that we can serve the people of this
continent. To debate seating in the chair, with your fingers in your
computer is not going to justice to people who are dying in and other. If we
can not change the government via democratic proccess (which i strongly
believe PAC was not supposed to engaging in) we are liberation movement not
a organisation of parliament or union buildings.
The african cause will remain a cause.
I remain an Africanist.
