MAfrika, Good day. The current political developments in our country at the moment have open a new opportunity for Pan Africanists to go back to the drawing board and do some serious introspection. The current voter apathy, poor PAC/PAM performance and the politics of coalitions after the recent local government elections say a lot to any serious-minded political party still wishing to continue to exist and survive in the current turbulent political situation in South Africa. We are entering interesting times in the history of our country. The developments send a clear message to all of us about the coming National Elections in 2019. We must do something now or forget about making impact in 2019. We must position ourselves now to be either the ruling party, or the official opposition, or a kingmaker in 2019. It is our chance as a monolithic united party not factions and breakaway parties. If we are serious enough, we can make it. If not, serious-minded Pan Africanists should come together and form one voice like the EFF did. We cannot waste our precious time with nicetime clowns who are paying lip-service to unity whilst inwardly opposed to it. Let's give them the last chance up to the end of September 2016 and kiss and say goodbye to unity talks.Get me right: A united PAC can be an ideal situation. A united PAC can become the ruling party in 2019. It is possible. It is no longer a pie in the sky. If PAC unity is not achievable in our lifetime because of some political turncoats in our midst, it's bad luck. Mafrika, we must ask ourselves why voters prefer to vote for everyone else (every Jack and Jill) but not Pan Africanists. They also vote for independents but not us, WHY? We must answer that question. Other parties are having sleepless nights positioning themselves strategically for 2019. Pan Africanists will from now onward be busy fighting each otherin courts of law instead of closing ranks and position themselves to occupy the existing political vacuum in our country. Many of the people who did not vote do not associate themselves with the current political stream (ANC, DA and EFF). They have no political home.In the meantime, we are aloof and divorced from the masses but not PASMA. PASMA is deeply involved is student politics. The question is: did PASMA vote in the local elections? Which party they voted for? Remember: I said some PASMA members belong to other political parties, not necessary to PAC as many people wish us to believe, unlike PASO we launched in 1989. Comrades, we cannot expect to be voted into power if we do not lead the masses in their daily struggles where they are fighting for their bread and butter issues in their communities and workplaces through civic movements, trade unions, youth organisations, etc. We cannot avoid theses questions for too long if we are serious about wining power. Did NACTU affiliates vote in these elections? Which party they voted for? Where is Maqhekeni? I only saw him on TV with ANC ministers Pravin Gordon. Is he still a PAC member like Sdumo of Cosatu is an ANC member? Something is wrong somewhere? Where is Narius Moloto as NACTU Secretary General? Is he still a PAC member? Where is NACTU they lead? Which party NACTU members voted for? These are the difficult questions we must ask a conference or bosberaad? All these comrades should account if they are deployed by the Party in NACTU and PASMA. We cannot call them to account if they are there for themselves. I talk from experience. We were instructed by Zeph Mothopeng to launch PASO and we accounted to him and to PAC leadership accordingly for PASO activities, not to ourselves. We were at one stage instructed to recruit PASO members to join PAC and APLA, and we did just that. That is why we adopted the slogan, "PASO By Day, APLA By Night!" What is wrong with PASMA, PAYCO, and NACTU? Where are they accounting to, to themselves? Hayi khona!!!! Something must be done. .COSATU, ANCYL, SASCO and SANCO are all accounting to the ANC leadership. If they cannot acount to our Party, we must disband them and launch new ones. That is it. We cannot have fellow travelers in politics. .
The truth is: We have all failed the Party in one way or another, even for not asking ourselves the right questions. . Mafrika, bourgeois mentality of relying on campaigns just few weeks before elections does not work. I did not work for the past 22 years. When are we going to learn it? Are we so dumb to learn from our past mistakes? Let's wake up from the political stupor. other parties are wide awake except us..PAC grew overnight after the Status and Positive Action Camapains. It also grew in strength after the launch of AZANYU and PASO. It did not grow because of posters, TV shows, etc. Mass action is what counts, not mass demonstration. The chaos caused by EFF in parliament and land grabs is paying dividends now. It has opted to play opposition role in the coalition politics so as to continue creating chaos and havoc in those municipalities to get attention. As a Party we cannot adopt their adventurist approach they copied from right wing politics in Europe. But, mass action is still the necessity in politics. Ours should be a disciplined struggle. I don't mean armchair politicians who suffer from intellectual wavering and only analyse events instead of making those events (waging the revolution). Let's follow in the footsteps of Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe who adopted mass action, not bourgeois campaigns and mass demostrations. What is your opinion on my contribution? Let's be objective. Let's not shoot the messenger. The people have, indeed, spoken in the recent elections.. Izwe Lethu!. .
