Currently PAC is kept in many people’s mind by the selfless and courageous acts of the its previous leaders dating as far as the era on Sobukwe, Pokella, and Mothopeng, the PAC is not in people’s mind on the basis of its current (today) mass based campaigns and party’s leadership capability on shaping public policies discourse. And this occurs chiefly as a consequence of a party and a leadership that suffers from public-phobia and also has serious ideological-political and organisational defects, this explains the deep seated nature of the problems confronting the PAC. Some made the claim that EFF speaks the PAC language, while we refuted this claim scientifically, however leaders and members who holds the view that EFF has stolen PAC policies and ideology exposes a serious ideological bankruptcy, but again this exposes also that the problems facing the party are deep rooted on the political theoretical nature and character of the party membership and leaders. It must be mentioned that the courage displayed by EFF inspires the masses, the same courage and determination has become extremely scarce in the party. So the entire party political functional aspects based on a mass based programme has been negated making the party an empty shell, consequently rendering almost all structures without a structurally defined primary political purpose and role. Another defects it is how party structures are understood, for example, a constitutional branch deemed to be compliant implies that a branch with at “least 20 paid up members”. This description is inadequate since it focuses only on one organisational element of a branch which is at least 20 paid members constitute a branch. The PAC constitution has three parts for all structures starting with the congress/conferences-NEC-PEC-REC-BEC- Member, these three parts are:- 1. Political functions and Roles; 2. Organisational Functions and roles; 3. Key Components of structures example a branch is composed of members, BEC, Meetings, Branch Annual Meetings, BDC which describes and defines a branch. Each part has at least an estimated eight (8) – nine(9)elements. Our assessment in we analysed the usage of the concept “constitutional complain branches”, out of 28 element there has been compliance with only one (1) element thus making majority if not PAC branches to be 96.43% non-compliant or unconstitutional. In other words there are close to 26-27 elements that most branches fail and some branches had never complied with and this cuts across all PAC structures namely from branch-REC-PEC-NEC. Effectively, PAC of today no longer functions within the constitution and disciplinary code of the party, if the constitution if the supreme law of the party and it is being disregarded this should explain the level not only of lawlessness but absence of political direction due to annual conferences and congresses serves as thee strategic platform to reflect and determine the party’s political thrust! Shango lashu Nkrumah From: payco@googlegroups.com [mailto:payco@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mduduzi Sibeko Sent: 10 November 2013 09:16 PM To: payco@googlegroups.com Subject: [PAYCO] Cde Nkrumah, Ndebele, Seroke It is almost twenty years since we have been trying to resuscitate ourselves from the ashes of rivalry and infighting. To retrospect, from our poor electoral showing of 1994, the PAC had always had an agenda of revamping leadership. It is unfortunate that the ideal leadership has not come forth, aggravating is the fact that from then, our electoral support has been dwindling from 5 members in parliament to 1. By and large, new kids on the block in the political spectrum in South Africa have always undercut our position and relevance. One writer in this platform reported that in Limpompo members of the PAC have joined the EFF. In Daveyton we are Launching a branch, and we have committed Africanists, but will we sustain this potential. The EFF has received an untold publicity in the media and elsewhere, and disgruntled people from the ANC have found it to be a viable political alternative. Can we survive or we are just relying on our liberation struggle heritage ?. which transition of leadership in PAC has taken place without scuffle from 1994.
