Izwe lethu M'Afrika Organisations that enjoyed progress and success are led by people who possess the following qualities mentioned below, in developing a cadreship for the party and indentifying any member for leadership role this can serve as a basic criterion.
We hope this will assist PAC branches and members, as we forge ahead to unite the PAC. Four cornerstones are: ■Character. The mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. When you hear someone described as a “person of character,” you get a positive, leadership image. ■Credibility. The capability of being trusted. Credibility is a critical element to success. You will lead your organisation through sometimes murky waters while dealing with larger entities who may hesitate in doing business with a small entity whose leader doesn’t possess the utmost credibility. Remember these words: “I can’t do business with you if I can’t trust you.” ■Integrity. Having strong moral principles. This goes hand in hand with credibility and character. There are times in our business lives when we’ve been offered opportunities that were less than honest. The result may be a leg up on the competition or an easier path. In essence, it’s nothing more than a cornerstone test. We’ve all seen the disgraced leaders in newspapers and on television who failed the cornerstone test. Remember their faces, tears and shame. It’s all a result of a poorly built foundation. ■Vision. Seeing what others cannot see. I’ve always aspired to be a person who challenges himself to see what others cannot see. This cornerstone is critical in times of crisis when there is no clear path. In addition (1) Love for the African people (2) Mastery of the history of struggle and its lessons (3) Mastery of Pan Africanism (African nationalism and socialist ideology) (4) Dedication to the cause for revolution (5) Revolutionary and organisational discipline It would seem to that any superficial analysis of these aspects of Pan Africanist cadreship and leadership would immediate take us to the root cause of the party crises: Lack of an organised cadreship. To us it is not surprising why the many feuding petit bourgeois factions of opportunism are all agreed to undermine the courageous efforts to re-organise and develop a strong non-partisan cadreship movement. Needless to say, we assured of victory. We will win!
