There is a new trend, that started after the passing of Ntate Lekoane Mothopeng, developing were new leadership (whether elected by legitimate branches or not) nullifies the membership that elected them. Their common excuse is that they want to re-establish the database of the organization (this is hypocrisy). This trend has made PAC to be obsessed with registered membership than being interested in mobilizing the broad Azanian masses into action of voting for PAC. This obsession has killed branches, regional structures and the provincial structure in North West especially Bojanala District Municipality.
This obsession has killed PAC because leadership fails to arouse the political consciousness of the entire people so that they may willingly and gladly fight together with us for a socialist Azania. Chairman Mao Tse-Tung once said: 'However active the leading group may be, its activity will amount to fruitless effort by a handful of people unless combined with the activity of the masses. On the other hand, if the masses alone are active without a strong leading group to organize their activity properly, such activity cannot be sustained for long or carried forward in the right direction or raised to a high level.' And Adolf Hitler concurred with Chairman Mao by saying: 'The masses of illiterate Russians were not fired to Communist revolutionary enthusiasm by reading the theories of Karl Marx but by the promises of paradise made to the people by thousands of agitators in the service of an idea.' Leadership must realize that membership will not increase continuously but followers must increase continuously. The obsession of leadership of dividing or controlling registered membership to secure their seats than aligning party programmes with the demands of the Azanian people must be addressed. PAC needs a programme of action that is mass based not membership based. Farm labourers are continuously being evicted from their land on daily basis; this situation does not worry our leadership. Is it that difficult to support the course of the poor suffering Africans?

Comrades who have been close to me for all those years will attest to that. My biggest concern is that we cannot continuasly fail this movement by electing a leadership which at a latter stage we want to remove because of this and that. Our leaders have been failing us since 1990. The biggest problem in this movement is that we lack a coharent structure. No matter what constitution we can have there is no how we can protect it if we represent our own jackets. What I am saying is that if PAC was structured according to the constitution(read any) and we act as a unit (branch,region or province) there was no way we cannot protect the abuse of our constitution by any person. Unfortunately we continue with our tendency of being our own reps representing our own jackets and thinking we can speak on behalf of the rest. In the history of our constitutions,the constitution demands that there are certain procedures to be followed whenever a member or a certain portion of membership is not certisfied with a particular issue. This is not being done. If it has been done then the process protocol was not followed. CONSTITUTIONAL PROTOCOLS NEED TO BE FOLLOWED. My deepest concern is that time is running out and we are failing to resolve an impasse in this movement. My understanding is that if we are not happy with a particular leadership we vote that leadrship out. Why then is not the case with our present leadership? Instead of doing that we continue to throw insults on our own leadership and we continue to act indipendently from the leadership. I know for a fact some of us don't regard the present leadership as PAC leadership. The question is,is that the truth? Then who lead the PAC? Can comrades outline a process by which the present leadership can be removed especially when the current constitution which governs the present leadreship is not respected or adherd to? On what ground then can we do that and beeing guided by what? We are enough with the Pan Africanist Politics what we want is a revolutionary wagon we can ride on that will deliver the Pan Africanist Ideals to the people and finally a true Africanist revolutionary victory. COMRADES HOW TRUE ARE WE TO THE ASPIRATION OF THIS MOVEMENT? ________________________________ From: Pasika Nontshiza <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Jackie Seroke <[email protected]>; Thapelo Matlala <[email protected]>; Cunningham Ngcukana <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Mon, October 11, 2010 5:20:13 PM Subject: [PAYCO] The Rise of A Star : Welcome Ikwezi To Our Shores Spring has sprung too for Africanists,what, with the revival and reintroduction of Ikwezi journal. having been a voice of reason in exile,Ikwezi resurfaced and offered the much needed relevant political information about the pan-Africanist struggle. Its ability to present information in a critical,yet revolutionary manner contributed a lot to the confusion perpetuated by the apologists of the capitalist and neo-colonial system. Ikwezi could not have come at a right time, what with the ship of freedom(PAC) hijacked by anarchists masquerading as members,condemning the masses of our people to slavedom and lack of direction.Let those who claim to be Pan-Arficanists accelerate and raise the level of debate so that the masses of Azania could have a proper direction. A clarion call to all freedom lovers: Ikwezi is paving the way for all of us to agitate,advocate and contribute to the cause of freedom and do what Africanists are known for- rise to the challenge when they are required to.
