In regardless of party position we remain activist in different constituent groups as individuals. No one could claim that he or she started being an activist after joining the party. Therefore I appeal to our comrades that, if its a good cause worth fighting for join and make a different in your own community, Don`t wait for party positions as our party lack proper structures or platform to shape its own policy. However members must distanced themselves in representing the party without a mandate or party position. Edwin Soso

I wil suggest to those cadres who have been invited to ask themselves question what will payco achieve in this regard? As i don't believe that payco should partake in this march we've nothing to gain. On 11/6/12, linda ndebele <[email protected]> wrote: > There's no policy position I know on this issue in the PAC.
