Izwe lethu M’Afrika
Thanks M’Afrika Vusie Makhathini for the documents. The intent of these documents must be clarified and shared, such that there can be meaningful interaction. However, my own analysis is that the arguments and questions raised in this documents had been answered in the PAC 1959 Pan Africanist Manifesto including other PAC Basic Documents. It is also a matter of concern that the document fails to recognise PAC’s 1959 theoretical contribution on the evolution of Pan Africanism given the peculiarities of the Azanian Case and Africa especially in the neo-colonial epoch (read the Africanist Case elaboration by the then PAC Secretary for Education), the PAC construction of aiming to establish an Africanist Socialist Democracy is the theoretical contribution on Pan Africanism, as a system of political economy and governance. If the documents sought to present an institutional framework to advance social transformation within the very same prescripts of an Africanist Socialist Democracy. Secondly Kwame Nkrumah in the Class Struggle in Africa has also moved further in concretising the PAC conceptualisation of the Africanist Socialist Democracy. Furthermore Pan Africanism rejects in totality capitalism in any form including white supremacy, instead of Pan Africanism rejecting European hegemony. Rejection of European hegemony narrows and limits Pan Africanism to some form of narrow continental nationalism. The basic documents vividly present characteristics of Pan Africanism and such a theoretical contribution in the description of Pan Africanism stands as the political theoretical advancement made by the PAC as far as 1959, the same still applies during the prevalent neo-colonial epoch. Furthermore, the usage of the concept post-colonial Africa, is intellectually and theoretically misleading for it creates an impression that Africa is free from the shackles of capitalism and white supremacy, which is not the case for capitalism and white supremacy has evolved itself from classic colonialism, to settler colonialism and now post 1994 political dispensation represents a neo administration of the same capitalist and white supremacist system to be managed by a black or African face hence Kwame Nkrumah description of this system as neo-colonial system or neo-colonialism similar to a snake shedding an old skin however remain as a poisonous and deadly serpent with the same diet! Neocolonialism (also Neo-colonialism) is the geopolitical practice of using capitalism, business globalization, and cultural imperialism to influence a country, in lieu of either direct military control or indirect political control, i.e. imperialism and hegemony. The term neo-colonialism was coined by president Kwame Nkrumah, to describe the socio-economic and political control that can be exercised economically, linguistically, and culturally, whereby promotion of the culture of the neo-colonist country facilitates the cultural assimilation of the colonised people and thus opens the national economy to the multinational corporations of the neo-colonial country During the neo-colonial epoch, the African comprador bourgeoisie exploit the relationship they have with political leaders thus like vampires’ sucking blood from a helpless victim, the African comprador bourgeoisie loot public funds as a form of wealth creation, such looting is also referred as corruption, thus an emergence of oligarchy in control of the neo-colonial state on behalf of the capitalist and white supremacist powers commonly located at the core region of capitalist world economic system.
