Hi Simphiwe, I am not exactly sure who you are but I suppose you are a member of the PAC, our organisation.
Firstly, I don't think your alleged hypothesis is a good attempt at anything of the sort. All you are doing, in essence, is to motivate for the decision to contest for leadership on a wrong platform. From your writing I am sure you attended this conference on a voting mandate, and you are now writing this email to make yourself feel good, feel good that you committed a lesser evil sin. As I said before, you chose this path for absolutely opportunistic reasons just as much as the people you sought to replace. I must also say that your hypothesis is quite uneducated (not in the academic sense) because at every turn it invalidates all your claims. I will do you a mini demonstration of this below. Let's assume you had the numbers to remove Letlapa as PAC President. Why would you not deem it more honourable to use these numbers at that conference to pass two resolutions at minimum, namely, that a motion of no confidence is passed and secondly put up an interim party organisation structure. As you and I know, you neither attempted a motion of no confidence nor did you seek the institution of an interim structure. What you were doing was to contest for votes and leadership in that forum. I am not suggesting that you should have done as above, I am only illustrating the poverty-strickenness of your socalled hypothesis. Cadres of character would organie on the side of principle and not on the side of cooption and convenience. Why don't you believe you can win while remaining principled? Why? Why do you think you can only win through collaboration and camouflage? You are in a hurry for what, because you may be worse than what you seek to replace. Your home mirror may be telling you different but we don't know you, I mean the program you want to advance except that you are about face replacement! It is not true that we ever said we will overlook principle issues and seek election. Check previous emails, as this lie has already been exposed and rebutted. And it is not court or mass mobilisation. It is all of them exception auctioning principle like you did by contesting for votes, for yourselves !! So Lobi, I think you must do yourself justice, accept that you chaps erred because you saw an opportunity not to correct but to instead jump in, notwithstanding whether the forum was right or not. We must sit down and talk. We all want to go for the ruling regime but carrying characters like these without first correcting them is dangerous. You will undo our revolution when is in motion. You will be reasonable and convenient, a warning Sobukwe gave us. I will offer ideas on how we can correct the quaqmire step by step and others have done so as well, and then let's discuss. Just bear in mind that you unlike many of us, are on a weak ground to say much about President Letlapa cos by contesting there you legitimised that forum at least for you and your grouping. There is hope don't tire. Afrika is our land !!

Not all those who attended the congress are in favour of what is happening in PAC, but were trying everything to take PAC away from Letlapa and his group with the aim of taking it back to the people who are in branches. Let's go to those who chose to stay away from the Butterworth procedings. This group is divided in two. One group is saying PAC need a platform that will give a way foward, but my question is, how will that happen without being seen as another group within PAC, while that is claiming to be genuine? Let us remember we need the power of PAC to legitemise any platform and without that power we are meeting as an interest group. If Letlapa is calling himself a president and is occupying the offices that are seen as that of PAC and we are not in support of that happening then we don't have much options except as an interest group of the party. The second group did not attend, because they have hopes in court ruling being in their favour to do away with Letlapa. We must remember court will rule in favour of those who presents their case clearly. Let us be hypothetical preparing our hearts for the worse that might happen. Let us say the court rule in favour of Letlapa, then what will be the next step? Those who went to Butterworth were trying every avenue to take away PAC from Letlapa and his group, therefore should not be seen as outsiders. Like those who are going to court are trying to take away PAC from Letlapa and his group, therefore should not seen outsiders. I should ask myself what am I doing to save PAC in order to take it back to the people except being intellectual in approach and speach and not initiating anything to do away with Letlapa and his group? -- Sending your posting to [email protected] Unsubscribe by sending an email to [email protected] You can also visit http://groups.google.com/group/payco Visit our website at www.mayihlome.wordpress.com -- Sending your posting to [email protected] Unsubscribe by sending an email to [email protected] You can also visit http://groups.google.com/group/payco Visit our website at www.mayihlome.wordpress.com
