Dear comrade Mabaso, It is disheartening to have read about the threads against you.
None of us ever thought that an Africanist can place the life of another Africanist on an alter, when we so much need each other. We are all caught in the web since revolutions have too much of such terrifying examples. When Sabelo Phaama joined the struggle, to the point, joined the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania and later became the commander of the Azanian People Liberation Army, little did he know that he would die they he did, because he was over-occupied with his means of liberating Azania by waging the just struggle, the people armed struggle against what got to be known as Crime Against Humanity, Apartheid, Neo-Colonialism, Imperialism, Colonialism and Capetalism, with the main objective of freeing his country - AZANIA - and ultimately restore the stolen land to its rightful owners. Before Sabelo Phaama, scores and scores of revolutionaries were brutally killed, removed and wiped out from the mundane mother earth, but not from our minds. We are all called upon to see to it that comrades, irrespective of their stand point, shall not meet the same fate which removed our mentors from us. As much as we wish that the Phaamas, Muendlanes, Nkrumahs, Tongogaras etc could have been given a chance of contributing to the total liberation of Africa, in the same token, we also believe that those revolutionaries who have different opinion, have the absolute right to continue to live without threads, harassments and of course without them being killed. The threads, harassments and killings would not stop the revolution. Mo-Afrika you are invited to join us in our protracted struggle of trying to engage all Africanists in a systematic debate whose objective is to impact positively on the soul and minds of our communities. Your contribution will be highly appreciated!
