Jinika will be sorely missed. His contributions in the effort to re-build the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania are immeasurable. We could safely say he truly dedicated his time and life in the struggle in the same terms as that of the Osagyefo, Kwame Nkrumah.
He insisted that we meet regularly once a month at the Braamfontein offices of Comrade Sthembele Khala, to discuss and deliberate on the political conundrum that besets the PAC - and come out with practical and honest answers. We then held a seminar in early 2006 at Wits University, that Jinika selflessly organised, and brought in independent academics for a robust debate, where we agreed that the Africanists had immense potential to lead the masses in a second phase of transformation and change. We had also identified the external and internal pitfalls that could undermine that revolutionary process. Regrettably, some hotheads in the same discussion group went ahead to plunge the PAC in the disastrous road that led to a further decline. Prince Jinika is for me an outstanding cadre in the Party. Principled, dedicated, committed and unswerving in his loyalty to the concrete ideas of Mangaliso Sobukwe, Kwame Nkrumah and Kwame Toure. The sad news of his sudden passing hits home very hard. They also mean a re-awakening to his push for a well organised and ideologically sound PAC. Izwe lethu iAfrika.

Moafrika Prince Jinika, a humble comrade! we shall remember as we remain inspired by his self-lessness and contributions made and for the sacrifices he made in crafting the Pan Africanist Path particularly in the labour movement and across the landscape of Azania. The complete cadre we lost, who will remains irreplaceable. Shango lashu Nkrumah Raymond Kgagudi From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mpuka Radinku Sent: 08 February 2013 09:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PAYCO] Prince Osagyefo Jinika Is No More Comrades I have just received an sms message from MoAfrika Tsietsi Molebatsi and Malusi Maqubela which reports that MoAfrika Prince Jinika has passed away. Prince was one of the many, many valued comrades who in their youth, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, contributed immensely to the growth of the PAC. He was a revolutionary who carried the Pan-Africanist flag in the uniform of Azanyu, the PAC and the Labour movement, serving in several NACTU Unions. He will forever be remembered for his tenacious belief in Pan Africanism and his tireless contribution to the struggle - both practically and in the shaping of ideas. To use Fidel Castro Ruz's remark about the death of Che Guevara, one of the many legacies of Prince, at least for some of us, is that he left us with the value of EXAMPLE. The sms message I received states only the following details: Memorial service: Date: TODAY, Friday, 8 February 2013 Venue: At Home, Daveyton, Shongwe Street Time: 4:00pm Funeral arrangements: Date: TOMORROW, Saturday, 9 February 2013 Venue: Daveyton - Garden Village in Daveyton, Church next to Oasis church - opposite Lesiba Sec School Time: Service starts at 8:00 am Mpuka -- -- Sending your posting to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe by sending an email to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> You can also visit http://groups.google.com/group/payco Visit our website at www.mayihlome.wordpress.com <http://www.mayihlome.wordpress.com> --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pan Africanist Youth Congress" group.
