Greetings cde Sibeko, As much as your enquiry was directed to comrade Jaki, I feel obliged to respond. You are correct that this platform is for political discussions, but it is also open to all other comrades who want to communicate other social issues which are also our responsibility as political activist. If we hold a view that social issues are presented in an apolitical manner it is our obligation to correct that through robust and constructive criticism. We have so much confidence to the intellectual capacity of members of this group that we don't censure inputs or contributions to this network. Political discussions should not remain discussions but must translate to action through political and social programmes.
With regard to non participation of certain comrades thus far I can't comment as I don't know their reasons, but on my part is due to work commitments which requires me to spend only 8 hours in the office a week to handle administative matters, the rest I spend in the field. Ofcourse we are missing the contributions of our pioneers like Cunningham, Jack, Congress, Mashao, Siya Ndamane and others, but I am sure a majority of them are not participating due to their busy schedules and work commitments. We wish to appreciate the inspiring contributions we've been receiving from cde Seroke, cde Xaba,cde Hulisani and yourself cde Sibeko. As for political discussions dying that would not happen,the Political Commissar,cde Dzumbu Mmbara would be rolling out a plan of revitalising this platform, facebook and other platforms where pan africanist ideas are discussed. The Secretary General within his tight work schedule would be leading discussions on inter-party relations and we shall also engage all comrades who use to make valuable contributions to do so again. It is also worth noting that facebook popularity has robbed this group some attention, blame it on technological advances. We hope cde Sibeko you will join us in our endeavours to revive and repositioning political discourse on this group. Thanks a million for raising your concern it was eye opening. Izwe Lethu!!!
