PARTY_BUILDING_AND_UNITY_FOR_THE_PAC_OF_AZANIA_[Final_Document][1].pdf
 
Sons and Dughters of Africa
 
I welcome the opportunity one has to enhance a document that was discussed in a 
meeeting of APLA cadres on 21 Nov 10 at Ouradsal, Church Square Pretoria. When 
the document was discussed, the audience had time only to glance through the 
contents and focus on those areas or phrases that the organisers drew our 
attention to. In this meeting I had already welcomed the initiative I initially 
understood to be directed towards the unity of the Africanist movement 
entirely, those that one likes, dislikes, hates, distates, loves and idolises. 
I could not express myself as freely as I wanted to, because comrades in the 
chair were rather very impatient with my contribution even though I decalred my 
positive attitude, to clear the air. A sentence I made invited paragraphs 
explaining to me what the meeting was about. I bear no grudge about that. These 
things happen in our party, no wonder we are where we are.
 
Lenin impresses me when he says, "It is not enough to be a revolutionary and an 
adherent of socialism or a communist in general. You must be able to at each 
particular moment find the particular link in the chain which you must grasp 
with all your might in order to hold the whole chain and to prepare firmly for 
the transition to the next link". A doubt was cast on my intepretation of this 
document under the pretext that I have not read the whole document. I now have 
read the document. Im afraid I was spot on.
 
Emanating by the discussions with some of the organisers of the meeting I 
formulated an expectation on the initiative. The document falls short of making 
mention of all Africanist formations and individuals displaced by exigencies of 
our own political situation perpetrated by Letlapa and company. It has not 
mentioned either by reference or expicitly the name PAM and APC and or 
Revolutionary Wactdogs. And yet, these are the groupings that openly are an 
indication of disunity in the party. There is a substantial number of the 
former and latter functioning independant of the PAC officially led by Letlapa. 
It would look like comrades are not comfortable in recognising this reality. 
Thinking that this is an oversight, I pointed out this strategic error in the 
21 Nov meeting, but was supressed. It was later conceded that the document 
would be rephrased and I had hoped that would be done to rectify the oversight. 
After reading the document posted here, I pick this has not been done. Should I 
assume that this is an oversight again? Would I not be naive if I do so? It 
would look like comrades are now consistent in derecognising other comrades the 
same way Letlapa did. I am now wondering if this current cadreship initiative 
was to be at the centre of the PAC and set the direction, tone and miletones 
from one era to the next would do worse than Letlapa in creating disunity in 
the party. The strategic thrust of the document fails to call for the unity of 
the Africanist movement entirely at a time when central to our political 
paralysis is disunity. And yet we use the name of John Nyati Pokela to frame 
and tag our initiative. Lets recap comrades. Pokela called every Africanist 
back into the PAC. Those that estranged themselves with the party and those 
that were estranged from the party through the poor stewardship and errors of 
its leaders and cadres. There was an organised splinter called APRP, the likes 
of Cde Templeton Ntantala and Gason Ndlovu. There were those that worked with 
Potlako Leballo who was causing a great amount of disequilibrium in the party. 
Comrades who were recalled are still in the party to date and part of our 
problems and solutions. If we are selective in the "Back to the PAC campaign" 
we must accept that we cannot use Pokela's name to frame our initiative. If we 
continue in the direction we seem to be going, then one will be justified in 
future when he concludes that APLA cadres were positioning themselves as yet 
another big faction misusing the name of POKELA to justify themselves and the 
conceptual role of cadreship in a revolutionary party to book a place in the 
PAC factional life. My thesis comrades is clear that we have no choice but to 
unite and forge ahead as a single revolutionary entity. Any initiative that 
falls short of this historical necessity can never change the fortunes of 
Africanist movement. We must find a way to streamline the initiatives whose 
objectives are professly to unite the party. Things being ideal the groundwork 
done by all groups should be finding good expression in the resolutions to be 
taken by the different confrences/congresses in December. That is if these 
cannot be harmonised. The 21 Nov meeting was a golden opportunity to do exactly 
that or at the least take a resolution that sends exactly that bold message. It 
is my sincere hope that the cadreship movement will not function parallel to 
branches when the PAC is back standing in its feet. I am saying this because 
the wisdom of the PAC constitutions sanctions that an organisation is an 
organisation because of its branches. This does not dispute the existence of a 
cadreship movement but simple emphasises that cadres must function in party 
formal structures and be shining examples and beacons of light to junior 
cadres. I am of the opinion that one the ways to reinstate organisational 
discipline is bringing our matured cadres back in branches, regoins, 
provinces...etc. But cadres must sit and conceptualise their intervention 
carefully and make sure that which they do will enhance the prospects of the 
party. An oath of alligiance was administered to all who attended the Nov 10 
meeting. The last sentence of the PAC Oath of Alligiance says unambigouisly, 
....I accept the leadership of the PAC....". There is only one elected 
leadership in the PAC -the Letlapa leadership. I wondered if we understand 
that. If we do, why would we give Letlapa an unsolicited endorsement. To my 
understanding we are all agreed that Letlapa is the cause of the current 
fragmentation of the Africanist movement, why would we then support him in his 
programme to dsetroy the PAC?
 
One writer wrote, "We are in perilous time. A poet says, One world dying -and 
another powerless to be born. It is not time for action, it is not either time 
for withdrawal, neither a time to fight in the streets nor to retreat to the 
mountain. The first necessity of our time is clarification. It is time to 
return to soruces. The first necessity of our time is not only to call things 
by their proper names, but conciuosly to connect the thing to its name, the 
action to its name, the reality to its name...."
 
My humble appeal comrades is that all of us as individuals and as a collective 
tailor our initiatives, physical and intellectual efforts towards the Unity of 
the Africanist movement. The solution to the problems of the PAC is unity. The 
solution to the political problems of the left is a united and embrasive PAC. 
The solution to the ills of the Azanian people in South Africa is a united 
Africanist movement. The last hope for the realisation of pan africanist agenda 
in Africa is a united and strategically positioned PAC.
 
May the soul of an Africanist revolutionary and a hero of Operation Crusade Cde 
Ojukwu rest in peace.
 
Sons and daughters of the soil I pause.
