Mo Afrika Kwame Joni lets not make this issue of unity a shallow misdirected topic. Leadership of Letlapa is very much recognised in our constitutional institution . We cannot continue to disregard this fact. You can argue much on this issue, you can even give practical references to this issue but the trueth of the matter is that Letlapa's leadership is recognised not only by our neo liberal constitution, it is also recognised by the 40 000 plus people who voted PAC in the last election which remains questionable if you and your other comrades ever contributed or participated in that simple minority vote for PAC. So comrade you can shout at your loudest voice and only a handful of your faction will ever hear you. What remains to the majority of PAC comrades is that Payco is for the distruction of PAC based on their hate or rather a personal hate to Letlapa and others. This unity does not concern Letlapa and few others, it concern the majority of us who want to see a united PAC. Your excusses cannot be accepted. You are either for the unity of PAC or you are unti unity of PAC period.
For Africanist Unity!! Viva PAC ________________________________ From: Dzumbu Mmbara <dzu...@live.com> To: PAYCO <payco@googlegroups.com> Sent: Fri, May 21, 2010 11:27:49 AM Subject: [PAYCO] Indeed PAC needs Unity http://payco.org.za/index.php/payco-members-forum/4-ideology-and-general-politics/11-indeed-pac-needs-unity 1 Hour, 50 Minutes ago Dear Africanists, Allow me to express my self on the issue of Unity talks as propagated and envisaged by party stalwarts like Johnson Mlambo, Dr Stanley Mogoba, Joe Mkhwanazi and other party founding members. The idea of unity and cohesion in the PAC is paramount and supported by PAYCO and surely by all in the PAC. Having said the above, as PAYCO we believe any talk of unity must be founded on shared common goals and driven by common desires. We stand for unity of purpose, hence we've been calling for unity of purpose and the adoption of a National Programme of Action that would drive and direct our programmes, activities and goals as an organisation. We share the concerns raised by the comrades who are propagating for Unity Talks, but we disagree with the approach adopted completely. We believe any attempt to handle party unity cannot succeed as long as those who lead that process are not brutally honest with those they are trying to unite. For starters, we have not heard these leaders denouncing factionalism that is fueled by Mphahlele in the party, rejecting the creation of parallel structures, physical assaults to party members, non distribution of party membership cards, disbandment of structures that refuse to support an Agenda to destroy the party and total disregard of party constitution. We expect those who lead this process to speak out against these destructive tendencies as they have been unashamed to attack PAYCO for its non support of the Unity Talks. PAYCO can also put on record that it has not been formally engaged on this matter , which is quite strage. You would normally expect that structures would be formally engaged individually on the objectives of the process and be given an opportunity to interrogate the entire process and to take into confidence its structures on the ground. This has not been the case with these Unity Talks. The main contenders have not been engaged, we've been hearing about the Unity Talks on Facebook and over the grapevine. We hold a view that this process has not been properly handled therefore cannot succeed to unite PAC. PAYCO also feels it was completely out of order for the proponents of the Unity Talks to undermine the Cape Town Convention and its resolutions in pursuing Unity Talks. The organisers of the Unity Talks have undermined the National Task Team, a structure that was given a mandate to lead the PAC to the National Policy Conference and the National Congress. The National Task Team is the only structure that commands respect from all party component structures,e.i, PAYCO, PASMA, PAWO, PALF, APLAMVA and PASO. PAYCO shall only partake in unity Talks that put constitutionality first and that is driven by the National Task Team or jointly driven with the National Task Team. PAC needs no Messiahs to salvage it from this quagmire it finds itself into, we are quite capable to resolve our problems on our own. United We Stand! Divided We Fall!!! Foward Ever!!! Backward Never!!! Izwe Lethu!! Kwame Ndebele PAYCO President ________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service.
