Sons and daughters of Africa Firstly, censorship of any sort is unacceptable in a forum like this. We must encourage contributions from all angles, so as to add to the diversity of opinions and to enrich the quality of information, and that critical thinking and a high level of debate applies. Cde Ndebele has said a mouthful on the purpose and vision.
We must however guard against dumbing down and trivialising matters of national importance. Even humour should not be spared from criticism, so that the good quality prevails in line with our common values. I do feel that the toilet humour that was placed on PAYCO google from Daily Sun pages is itself in bad taste and unsuitable for this platform. Sexuality education can be carried in many satirical ways, with decency and tact, without abusing the elderly and African womanhood. Most of what passes as humour on social media is often naked tribalism and sexist trash. Having pointed this out, dear comrades, we must acknowledge our responsibilities to inform, educate and entertain young people in an idiom they like and enjoy. We shouldn't be harsh and intolerant of views and opinions we do not prefer, simply because we do not like those who present them. In the absence of Party programmes, the PAYCO forum has taken a dynamic role to keep the Africanists together. The PAC has a legal crisis stemming from deliberate sabotage by unscrupulous characters. We must restore the Party constitution and elect a legitimate leadership at properly convened forums such as the Annual Conference and the Congress. The charlatans follow this PAYCO forum and even participate in its deliberations - but have (de-recognised) the PAYCO leadership. For this reason, we must be forthright in protecting PAC values and separating chaff from the genuine article. Ndebele is right. Most of us have day jobs that keep us from inter-active communication regularly. I'm self employed and do three different business activities daily, at a strategic level, and it gets hectic at times. But we must all make the platform vibrant and relevant, to the benefit of revolutionary Pan Africanism.
