Greetings comrades, Indeed our belovered movement is in crisis. The challenge is that we are in a denial mode. Those who are in control of levers of power hold a view that all is in order because they are in power and it will augur negatively if they accept that the party is getting weaker each day under their guard. Those who are outside of power, we hold a view that the party is in crisis, we don't blame ourselves but those in power. In isizulu we say "Inkombankombane, lowo nalowo uvikela ihlo lakhe".
What makes one not to see the light at the end of the tunnel, is that out of all these discussions we hardly find a convergence point in terms of the wayforward. Neither side presents any concrete plan and steps to rescue the party from the quagmire it finds itself. There has been two interesting calls made that have not been entertained to this end. 1. The holding of an all-inclusive Conference (whose aim would be to reconcile different factions, look at the state of the party and devise strategies and decisions that can resuscitate the PAC) 2. The call for a National Programme of Action (whose purpose would be to marshal our efforts and gear PAC for state power). I am quite certain comrades that hailing insults to each other and refusing to take collective responsibility to the current state of the party will not help our movement anyhow but will continue to discourage and demoralize our die-hard members and drive in droves young supporters to EFF and other political parties. Leaders who must take PAC forward are those who are prepared to take ownership to the mess PAC find itself and invite all to assist in cleaning up our movement. We need leaders who would be hands-on, selfless and who can rise above the problem. I believe PAC can be rescued only if we accept that we are in crisis, we all contributed to it and we need everybody's shoulder on the deck to get our movement out of this mess. Izwe lethu!

Raymond I think it is now clear that up and above the feuding NEC you have an individual in the form of an S.G who thinks he wilds a wisdom above all others. By the way you are talking about a so called board room or office bound NEC which operates somewhere in a building in Joburg which can hardly pull one revolutionary programme. In terms of the history of the PAC you maybe sitting with an SG who has performed worse than any other S.G at any given. The SG went to several media houses claiming the PAC is ready to govern and the elections results suggest something else. Any revolutionary leader must be a person whom when time calls for serious introspection and checks and balances he does so to assist the party not his/her self righteousness attitude/mentality. Relying only on a conference which will have bussed and ghost branches wont assist the party in anyway. Take the Birchwood Conference I am told there were bussed delegates who never participated in discussions and some were drinking alcohol as they were there for an outing. For me arguing endlessly with this so called NEC powers it is a waste of time and the lesser we talk about this SG the better it is. The truth is since the Butterworth Congress the PAC was never in politics and hence its silence in the political activities of the country. I don't blame the SG because if people who work with him attend meetings to discuss people and suspensions and expulsions and then call that progress in the party tough luck for PAC members and its future. Personally I hate people who like claiming things that don't exist and for me to suggest the party has developed capacity to operate behind enemy lines is cheap and weak revolutionary theory to say the least. There is only one lesson we can draw from this post Butterworth NEC and that is when we approach the leadership issue we must all be sober and be serious about it. I think the reason why the PAC was successful from its inception it was mainly due to the facts I raised above and they elected office President and SG and put the leadership which had what it takes to build a revolutionary party. It is more than 24 months since we had an NEC but al what we are consuming is a blame game. I have enough years in PAC to simply see what works and what wont work. You can have Cde Moloto for the next 100 years there as an SG all you are going to have is cheap manipulation, disorder, weekly suspensions and poor performance of PAC at all levels of party operations. In short it does not matter how right he says things will remain the same. Izwe Lethu!
