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. Tembelani Xundu
