Izwe Lethu M'Afrika These years and days PAC, AZAPO and SOPA had been reduced to organising yearly historic events which is nothing but commemoration of historic occurrences such as February Sobukwe Month, Sharpville-Langa Anti Pass Campaign Massacres; June 16 National Students Uprisings, 1 May Workers Day (no longer organised by these socialist parties), 31 July Heroes day, September Biko Month, APLA Day, and many other days!
We must break this vicious circle of historic events commemorations and the conditions of retrogression must be changed as we march into 2015.United with other formations seeking emancipation of the African people, I will be glad to see PAC, AZAPO and SOPA banners every month leading and forming part of mass based protest actions for:- 1. Free quality education from primary until university, education curriculum (content and outcomes) should be aligned and support industrialisation and broader economic development and emancipatory programme! Fifty FET Colleges with 300 campuses should be directly linked with industries and offer vocationally demanded skills and training programmes; Teachers training colleges should be re-opened for massive and qualitative training of education professional/practioners! SETAs have become an unjustified skills training bodies which must be abolished, the R37,5 billion distributed among SETAs yearly should be directed to fund, support and build FETs, Teacher Training Colleges and Nurses Training Colleges skills development capacity demands and infrastructure as part of human capital development strategy; 2. Free quality and accessible health system -demanding more nurses, proper infrastructure and doctor including best working conditions for all workers in the public health system! Nursing colleges should re-open for massive training of professional health workers to resolve shortage of professional workers within five to ten years! Demand abolishment of private education and private health care subsystem, existence of dual private and public system perpetuate inequalities and unequal distribution of resources! 3. 3 Basic Meals per Person in every household per Day (Breakfast, Lunch and Supper) therefore food should be accessible to all based on a daily well-balanced diet programme, thus crops and stock farmers should be supported, subsidized and land should made available for massive agricultural production aiming eradication of hunger within five years! Sankara having direct control of the land largely-used primitive methods and eradicated hunger in less than 5 year, in this country with all the latest contemporary world class resources, hunger can be eradicated indeed in less than 5 years including reduction of infants & child mortality rate as a consequence of hunger and poverty stricken conditions! 4. Mining and Extraction of minerals mainly as which has commercially valuable amounts of metals should processed and beneficiated in the country to drive industrialisation which should contribute in to expanding the manufacturing industries thus lead to massive employment of the people! Labour brokers and precarious employment (jobs) with poverty wages must be abolished, people must be afforded job security with justified wages to live in humane conditions! 5. Housing the People to Create homes which encourage a compatible mix of uses in neighbourhoods that provide opportunities to live, work and play. And also protect rural areas for a viable rural economy, agricultural resources, environmentally sensitive recreation and enjoyment of the rural landscape. Design neighbourhoods to improve access to community life. Expand transportation options that encourage travel by foot, bike and transit and enhance efficient interregional-&-interprovincial transportation connections. Township should transform to liveable and humane standards. As members and branches of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, we should forge principled unity based on mass based programmes and political work! Shango lashu-Open Palm Salute!
