Probably its worth asking who nominated cde Sbu for president which necessitated that he accepts nomination and forgo his previous position against Congress? Sent via my BlackBerry from Vodacom - let your email find you!

What made you to change heart? Do you believe that if the July 2012 congress proceeds, those who will emerge will bring a lasting solution for PAC? And that the current PAC 'regime' will voluntarily relinquish position of authority and all of a sudden the spirit of democracy will prevail? Why not focus in systematic building and re-organisation of the PAC from the bottom-up? If there are stronger and politically clear branches, no self serving individuals will ascend into leadership positions without endorsement of branches? Are you not falling into the same vicious circle that has led to political and organisational stagnation of PAC? Lastly, your PAC Leadership Manifesto is interesting, the second paragraph states that "Our major focus is to foster principled party unity, ." maybe the comrade can share and explain as to what constitutes a "principled party unity?" and how will that principled party unity be achieved? What has been the Comrade's contribution in past to foster that principled unity within PAC including its component structures? Secondly, you envisage "To build a strong PAC institutional capability to confront injustices, install revolutionary values and sustain Africanist Socialist Democracy", what constitutes revolutionary values and how can the PAC "sustain Africanist Socialist Democracy" whilst PAC is not in political power? And by an Africanist Socialist Democracy you refer to what and what context? Thirdly, you advanced a view that "Africanist Manifesto remains an up to date revolutionary platform to guide the African revolution", the Pan Africanist Manifesto was adopted in 1959, in 1958 Africa had eight (8) independent African countries, it is now fifty three (53) years since 1959, there is no longer classic colonialism and there are 53/54 independent states in Africa, how can a 1959 perspective remain relevant after 53 years? I hope you will not find my inquiry rhetorical.

"I accepted nomination for position of PAC President. I pledge to this commitment."- Sbusiso Xaba PAC Leadership Manifesto By Sbusiso Xaba Preamble Our major focus is to foster principled party unity, reconcile party members and create space for members to excel in the service of African people. We will collectively provide guidance on resolving the current constitutional crisis. We appreciate that PAC strength lies in its ideology and the application of democratic centralism should be based on enforceable decision-making model, which is capable of eliminate unmanaged conflict and power abuse with the PAC. Vision To build a strong PAC institutional capability to confront injustices, install revolutionary values and sustain Africanist Socialist Democracy. Key pillars of PAC program of action Accelerate PAC cadre development and political education (Pan Africanism, strategy and tactics). Develop PAC campaigning capacity in various areas Sovereignty, reparation, economic self-determination and Africanist Socialist production Holistic life quality to foster the Africanist personality (education, health and housing). Nation building (organising African nation scattered across the world). Develop PAC regulations (internal policies) that guide decision-making and foster party unity such as: PAC Cadre Deployment Regulation (Selection, Monitoring and Evaluation) PAC Delegation of Authority Regulation (what structure make which decision) PAC Investment Regulation (where and how the party invests) Develop institutional capacity (strong administrative machinery). Separate institutional governance, bureaucratic and technocratic functions of the party Elect leadership to focus on institutional (corporate) governance of party. Appoint professional staff to run day-to-day administration machinery of party. Appoint professional staff to conduct technocrat work of the party such as preliminary policy research. Cooperation and systematic coordination of membership participation in social movement. This creates capacity for the party to deliver alternative channels for basic services. Deliberate financial support of component structures to organise in mandated social sector. Offensive component structure (students, labour and women) Defensive component structure (youth and military veteran) Conclusion The miserable, poverty stricken, war mongers and disease riddled Europe destroyed African sovereignty. European society further built its capitalism trance on the foundation of African blood, African labour and African land resources. This low culture society is determined to perpetuate these injustices through various schemes of neo-colonialism therefore revolution is a necessity for African people. It is the responsibility of African people to develop mechanisms and institutions for their total liberation. PAC is the institution for the implementation of the revolution, which is a well planned and immaculately executed series of events that is design to bring fundamental social change and alteration in power relations. It is my firm believe that there can never be a sustainable revolution without a revolutionary party, a revolutionary party without revolutionary program, a revolutionary program without revolutionary leadership and revolutionary leadership without revolutionary theory. Africanist Manifesto remains an up to date revolutionary platform to guide the African revolution.
