You questions are not rhetorical at all.
1. We are attending Butterworth conscious of its constitutional dilemma.
We are not naive to think that power will be handed over with big smiles.
We appreciate the legal process under-way and we equally appreciate that
political influence must be contested. We decided to contest for that
influence on every platform called in the PAC name including Butterworth.
Are you convince that with more time PAC will be handed over to its
members? I am not convince...it has to be contested (now or/and then).
Abuse of power will not come to an end by itself. Yes, we risk the vicious
circle and I agree it has to be broken.
2. I full share your sentiments on *building strong party
structures*and strengthening of branches. Branches strong enough to
make ideological sound decisions and make solid determination on strategic
& tactical matters.
3. *What is principled party unity? *We are brought together by five
aims of the party. We should be united to promote them. *How we foster
party unity? *It is codifying our value system through party regulations
(internal policies). Properly discussed and constitutionally adopted
regulations. Complying to this codes and demand compliance of all party
members especially leadership. Leadership has been the most
ill discipline section of our membership. Ordinary member do not create
bogus branches neither do they sideline other members.* Where in past? *I
have always allow different views in all structures that I participated
in and never sidelined those who disagreed with my views. I am assertive on
my views but never antagonist against Africanists. Me and you were there,
when APC took the REC of Johannesburg. We closed the gap and fostered unity.
4. We need to establish *Africanist Socialist Democracy* by seizing
power and we also need to sustain that social order. The emphasis is on
building capability to sustain but that does not diminish the importance of
revolutionary process to establish the desire social order. *Content and
Context* is Africanistic in orientation, socialistic in content,
democratic in form and creative in purpose.
5. *Revolutionary values: *Noble son, please refer the email that you
sent to this forum dated 27 June 2012 (Subject was RECLAIM PAC FOR A
REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAMME). You correct highlighted the cancer of
cadreship that lacks revolutionary values. Revolution values are well
summarised by Sobukwe on Leadership.
6. *Relevance of Africanist Manifesto:* White domination
remain intact regardless of its form. Direct colonialism or neocolonialism
is still white domination (*whether visible or invisible*). Capitalism
and chain reaction analysis identifying expansion of market remain source
of social problems (imperialism) cannot be disputed. Where are we with the
African personality, identity or national question. *The analysis and
prescribed solution remain up-to-date*. Yes, we can expand on each of
paragraphs from A - O or interpret them for our understanding.

Sbusiso Xaba
