Cde Linda,
Pulling in unison and pushing in one direction provides us an opportunity to
redirect the party. I concur with your remarks.
Regards.

Subject: Re: [PAYCO] The Y Road
Greetings cde Matome,
Wish to acknowledge and appreciate your efforts in repositioning and rebuilding
our movement. We have witnessed your selfless efforts crisscrossing the country
in an attempt to develop the Programme of Action.
Some of us are convinced that we have no other option but taking Left. We
cannot lead our people to emancipation if we follow ANC/DA neo-liberal agenda,
the right path of Y.
We need to reposition ourselves and PAC if we have to succeed in this difficult
route we seek to endevour.
Rest assured son of the soil we are with you all the way.
Izwe lethu!
Linda

Subject: [PAYCO] The Y Road
Attention: Members and Supporters of the PACAugust 2014
Re:The Y Road - Which way to go?
During the month of July I extended an invitation to our cadres, leaders,
members and supporters for an effort at constructing a revolutionary program of
action in leading our people to a bloody engagement with the system and then to
prosperity.
I now wish to share the lessons picked along the way so far in executing this
work. You will see from the update below that the extent of the rot and the
challenges ahead cannot be resolved through simple answers. You will also see
for yourself from this brief that the suggestion that the party is teetering on
the brink of total collapse is not without justification, let alone the
suggestion that the party is distant from the masses of our people.
First of all I wish to thank all of our members and cadres who took time to
engage in the process of developing a program of action. I and all of my
comrades are sincerely indebted to you in ways words cannot express
sufficiently.
I will keep this brief as pointed and brief as is possible to maintain brevity
and sufficient party confidentiality and or integrity. This I will do without
detracting from the thrust of the brief, painful as it may be to all of us.
In the end the conclusive outcome of this brief is a decision we need to make,
that being - Which way do we go on the Y Road? This is important because it is
my sincerest view that we are at the Y intersection where we need to make one
call about which part of the Y Road we pursue. This will become clearer as you
read through this brief, and I do thank you in advance for taking the time to
engage and perhaps offer your input and advice.
The following are my very painful findings resulting from my visits and
engagement on the Program of Action design:
The promise of money and the mini exchange of it threaten the independence of
our members, both young and old. A few within our ranks, who have some access
to money, have resorted to its use in the manipulation of our members and
cadres to a point of denying them the basic right to think. As I travelled
around the country, it became evident that many of our members did not have the
right to engage with myself or any other member unless and until they have the
clearance and permission to do so from the one member or a group that wields
money power. I would have had no qualms if this money group had the competence
or will to drive the ship forward. The truth is that they don't have the
competence nor the will to drive the ship hence their insecurity and the
control of our members through money power.
This money group has mastered the art of not just bussing people to conferences
but also of understanding the dire state of our members. The reality is that
suffering and poverty is deeply punitive. While many of our members have
sufficient intelligence and grounding to appreciate what the party needs, their
hands are tied. The fact of the matter is that like all of us they need to eat,
need a shelter, and other basic amenities. The money group has picked up this
suffering of our members and they use it to lynch our organization. Many of our
members would not even meet you unless the money group says they should do so,
and many times if they meet you, they express views that are not of their own
make. They have been reduced to shells echoing the master's voice, stripped of
their independence and the ability to engage. This phenomenon is of-course not
just within the party; it applies to the relationship between members of the
public and the government too. It too manifests in the party in the context I
seek to point out.
Many of our young comrades and the so-called middle class, are held hostage by
this money group. It provides them crumbs enough to survive and to keep them
tools for their cause. When they have to travel and or eat the money group
provides the poisoned help in the understanding that in doing so they hold our
members captive, denying them the right to think.
In order to salvage the party and place it in the hands of the revolutionary
fraction of our movement, concerted efforts are required to extricate a good
number of our members whose views are stunted and or sponsored by the money
group.
Another lesson picked up along the way was that many of our cadres with
potential to rise have been beaten to the highest levels of fear and
despondency. I do not blame this group. Many times they have been disappointed
by the party, having given their all and every. While they desire and support
the cause of the revolution, they are fearful of yet another disappointment.
Their commitment is half-hearted preferring largely to quietly send messages of
encouragement than themselves get involved or muddied in the work of a
rebuilding program. Painful as it is I understand this group and their feeling.
They have jobs to lose, incomes to lose, comfort to forgo, and they ask
themselves - is it worth it. We indeed must make it worth their while to give
up these false crumbs privileges. We need to inspire them by offering them a
party that is steeped in revolution and unwavering in its confrontation with
the system and its handlers. It is a challenge we must meet. Even myself as I
travelled across the country that little whisper repeatedly visited me - "is it
worth it or shouldn't you just live your life". In fact one comrade asked me
the same question expressly whether it was worth it risking 'my money'
attempting to do work for this party. I have to repeatedly hear this whisper
even in my sleep. It is constant, I believe, in many of us.
Then there is another group who require work and a rebaptism. This group
believes that our cause is parliament, councils and orderliness. They despise
any talk of revolution, castigating any such talk as unprofessional and mad.
This group is hard at work to turn the party into some reasonable vehicle for
accumulation and comfort. They disguise through sloganeering when in fact they
believe in the system and not in its collapse and destruction.
Then there is a group, a comrade of mine categorized as the 'last man
standing'. This group amidst all the challenges believes in the party,
associate with it openly, work within communities, and above all still believe
in the destruction of the system through a revolutionary upsurge. I have to add
that this group is small, and I admire and subscribe to their line of thought.
It is on this group that we must build and or rebuild a people's revolutionary
party. A party founded on madness, unreasonableness and chaos in challenge of
the system and all its institutions.
Another interesting group is the hurt and jilted. These ones have turned their
imaginations into reality. Their life is a make-belief. In the midst of their
pain they have found other persons and parties in whom they see the PAC. They
have become cheer boys and girls of these parties as a way to soothe their
pain, the pain of losing a vehicle of Pan Africanism. For instance, they see
the party in Mbeki, in EFF, and many other individuals. I would not castigate
them as this is in fact a cry for a home. Some have joined other establishments
owing to this make-belief phenomenon.
The above are the painful observations I came to. I can tell you that talk is
cheap, work is not. In every way imaginable. These are observations not made
from a desk-top but from engaging in hard practical work on the development of
a program of action for our people through a party.
This brings me to the theme of my submission - The Y Road.
We must define our mission, live by it and see it to success along with the
masses of our people. We are at the Y intersection.
We have three options as symbolized by the letter Y:
The one option is to walk back on the Y road, step off into oblivion or
reorganization in another form in order to pursue the party's revolutionary
agenda and or another agenda. In doing this we will need sincerity and extreme
levels of honesty to determine whether or not the damage done on the party is
such that it can no longer muster enough courage to carry the people's mandate.
The other option is to walk to the right on the Y road, choosing accommodation
and reasonableness with the systems and all its institutions. This is the
gentlemanish approach, the nice-nice path walking within the system. This path
would not upset the system, and it is content with the fact that we are present
whether big or small, whether revolutionary or not.
The other path is the left of the Y road. This road is riddled with potholes.
Its defining character and form is a bloody engagement with the system. It
entails a direct confrontation of the system, the ruling elite and all their
institutions. On this path many will die, many will be tortured and
incarcerated, many will starve, and the country will go ablaze. Comfort will be
lost and hardship will be the order of the day. Assassinations will rule, the
oppressive laws will be undermined. The sky will turn pale, oxygen polluted by
the fire power of both the enemy and the people. Many of us will not live to
see the end victory. But victory is certain, however long it will take. This is
the path of honor and service to our people. It is a revolution.
I have made my choice. It is the left of the Y Road that I want to take. It is
the left of the Y Road that informs the Program of Action I am putting forward
for consideration by our members and cadres alike. Our mission is the abolition
of a system of deceit and robbery. A system that is based on the suffocation of
the many by the few. It is a path that must restore an African as a standing
and confident participant in the community of nations. It is a path that can
and must abolish class subjugation and a class mode of operation in our
society. This path must supersede our fears and organizational trappings.
Like all revolutions, this path has no guarantees, except a guarantee of honor
in life or death.
I decided, following my visit and travels to share this so that there is no
ambiguity on what the intentions are, and the line of march.
This will also help everybody when inter-phasing with our program of action to
understand our premise and outlook.
I again, wish to sincerely thank you, for your contributions in whatever form,
and do hereby invite all of us to join the left of the Y Road.
The IOTA Program is the way!!

Cde Linda
We heed your call and we have done everything possible to air views on this
forum,brilliant suggestions were made, some discussions went well and some not
,some are ignored understandably because there is nothing that actually binds
everyone to participate,motivation is another story.
There is also hardly a time where we reflect on an event of recency where we
could all or most of us be located at the same time and this has become our
sole "meeting point" to either vent,gloat,cheerlead one another almost to a
state of monotony.We always fancifully speak,which we should, of a programme of
action which seeks to unite the movement and whose timing is always on an
uncertain future date.
While an exchange of ideas is key and welcome, theorising is not all we can
offer.

Comrades,
My observation is that we are loosing hope in the
PAC and in efforts to resuscitate it. I hardly see any
engagement and possible strategies to get the party right.
Little engagement has come forth to interrogate submissions
made by cde's Matome Mashao, Nkrumah Kgagudi, Siya
Ndamane and cde Ndima.We can't comrades give
up on this gigantic movement. History will judge us harshly
if we don't play our role in getting our movement right
in our forward march to liberate our land and our
people.Asingapheli amandla dear
comrades.Izwe lethu!Kwame

of the soil, these questions you are raising are
fundamental. I wish the distribution could be wide enough to
reach every PAC member. These are questions that must be

Greetings comrades,
The critical questions we must all respond to, is how do we
get PAC right? How do we collectively own up to our
contribution to the current state of the party? How do we
unite PAC before uniting with EFF and other leftist parties?
How do we rebuild the image of PAC and its structures? How
do we make PAC relevant to our people? How do we eradicate
factionalism without destroying this party? How do we
utilize the cream of leadership we have produced over the
years for the benefit of the party? How do we make
parliamentary and councillor seats work for the party not
against the party? How do we develop a uniting national
Programme of Action? How do we utilize our diverse talents
to harness our party? How do we get out of the leadership
struggle maze? How do we position ourselves for state power?
How do we propose to sell our policy positions to the masses
of our people? How do we propose to be a vanguard of our
people in their protestes and demonstrations against
government? How do we plan to proactively deal with bread
and butter issues confronting our people? How do we plan to
partner with the trade union movement in their daily
struggles? How do we reconcile differing factions within the
party?
These are some of the challenges I believe we must begin to
speak to if we are really serious about rebuilding PAC.
I am inviting robust debate in this regard.

M'Afrika Siya
There are no neutral PAC members and PAC members not
supporting the two feuding, now three feuding NEC groupings
can't be defined as neutral.
We have maintained that the an inclusive PAC conference
composed of all PAC Branches and members is crucial to
resolve the prevailing political and organisational
parallysis.
The entire Butterworth elected NEC must report and
account to members in an inclusive national conference of
PAC aiming to forge Party Unity. We know thus far, that PAC
branches and members were misled and again turned to fight
against each, as the PAC disintegrate organisationally and
become politically insignificant as matters stand today!
Also, we have advocated inclusove regional and provincial
conferences organised mainly to forge unity among PAC
branches and members.
To root out factionalism, we also advocated and urged
that PAC member and branches should denounce and boycot
meetings organised to deepen internal party feuding and
drive factional interests.
We urged PAC branches and members to unite and embrace
PAC Constitution and Disciplinary code to to serve as the
principled basis for unity and political work.
Lastly, PAC branches and members should integrate their
structures's political work in the daily struggles waged
by African workers and their respective communities, so as
to build PAC's mass based character on socialist
programme!
Generalisation has its own basic flaws, for it tends to
combine genuine PAC members's omissions with deployed
moles/agents, hence one has a serious difficulty with such
an analysis and approach!

My dear comrades,In
my view the weakness of any decision taken in any platform
is that if the majority supports it - it becomes the order
of the day irrespective of whether it is correct or not . .
. this is the unfortunate reality and this problem is not
unique to the PAC it is the problem of decision making !
If I may take all the decisions and actions taken by the
organization since unban todate, this unfortunate reality
has happened ! What give effect to such decisions is that in
the PAC those who differ with such a decision becomes
despondent, withdraws from active political work and those
who implement the decisions becomes vendettas in settling
scores against those who opposed/differed on views.
This weakness has bred ground for careerists and
opportunists amongst ourselves within the ranks of the
organ. . .off couse there are other contributing factors to
the weaknesses of the organization.Between 1990 -
1996 intimidation was the tool used to
force decisions in the Congress/Conference floor, the
submission of some branch delegates to this intimidation was
the sign of weaknesses on our part as individual persons
and/or as branch representatives and branches themselves. I
won't dwell much on the tangible facts of this argument
most of you knows. . . e.g. the Revolutionary Watchdogs
persistent criticism of the direction taken by the
leadership did not sway the actions of the leadership - the
decision to suspend armed-struggle was resisted then what -
the pro and anti 1994 Elections chaos . . .with all the
efforts to resist at the end of the day the leadership and
decisions remained whether we liked them or not ! and most
of all there were branches who supported and accepted the
decision of the leadership whether right or wrong.
Yes, many people have since distanced themselves from the
organization because of the above . . .but PAC remained
though bleeding ! The current situation (2006 - 2014) is not
different from [(1990 - 1996) and (1996 - 2006)], the
organizational and administrative machinery has been
collapsing - the decision making process and implementation
of those decisions has not improved - the branches and
structures became more weak and some non-existent ! Between
1996 - 2000 it was Mogoba-Makwetu problems; 2000 - 2003
internal NEC problems; 2003 - 2006 the 'Talibans'
and internal NEC differences; 2006 - 2014 internal NEC
problems, Letlapa the 2 decrees; PAC Convention (cape town)
& INDABA (soweto), Butterworth Congress; explusion of
Letlapa and councillors; internal NEC problems and Mphethi
decree. All this happens with the support of some branches
in both opposing directions.
Each opposing side always has a reason to argue the
correcteness of their view and actions . . .we have seen
this since 1990 todate, therefore the blame-game is not
helping ! One can raise all correct arguments in his/her
world-view blaming the otherside - the otherside can equally
do the same.
For as long we don't come together and accept that
our individual/collective views can win-or-lose an argument
at a certain point in time and in all that the organization
has to be kept intact focused to the ultimate objectives,
otherwise we must just forget that the PAC will ever come
right we will be stuck-up in perpetual infinite fighting
blaming each other. I say this because those who have
defeated argument today will not cooperate positively in
implementation with those who won the argument and it goes
on-and-on ! ! !
One would think PAC Constitution will help but reality is
otherwise we have been in-and-out of the Courts we have a
pending Appeals Case as we speak that will be heard on 12
November 2014; the opposing views will always interpret the
constitution in the manner that suits their line of argument
and the legal establishments takes even longer to rule over
these constitutional disputes depending on how the legal
arguments were presented.
Understanding that going to courts was not a desirable
action to all of us, but even those who did not take this
route could not save the situation either, they become
neutralists that attacks both opposing groupings without
ever moving the organization forward. So at the end of the
day we all lose the PAC lose because the opposing groupings
will be on each others throat until structures collapse
while those who claim to be neutral will be analysing and
attacking those in the feud without real help in shaping the
collapsing structure of the organization, I am not taking
away the good, correct analysis and practical solutions that
they suggest but they are always dismissed by those in the
position of power in the administration as this grouping
some of the time they are members not in goodstanding . .
.if you are not in goodstanding it does not matter how good
your views are they will remain in the pheriphery of the
organization.
There is a serious problem in the organization, I will
deliberately not call it a 'crisis' as this may rub
some of us the wrong way. We can't tolerate each other,
we can't coexist with our different opinions, we are
deliberate vendettas against each other, we are defiant in
disregard of the organizational discipline, our fight is not
yet open over contradicting ideo-political lines rather it
is more on our individualistic egos and personal differences
that we make them PAC problems, those who are in leadership
sometimes deliberately sidelines, settle-scores with those
who contested them, those who did not get leadership of
their choice spend most of their time finding faults and
undermine decisions of those in leadership.
All organizations across the world always have groupings
within with varying degrees of influence in the
administrative direction of the organization. To have people
with different opinions on how things should be is not
unique to the PAC. All organizations have that in business,
politics, community etc.. That should not amount to
FACTIONALISM ! ! ! Yes sometimes we get agitated and angry
on how things are done especially when the organizational
erosion is happening at a high speed as we witness
today.
I therefore, kindly request all of us to
acknowledge that there is a problem in the
organization of PAC and without being vendettas & being
defensive we must elect to act collectively
in bringing stability, cohesion and direction in the PAC.
Let us all come together as members of the organization put
in place concrete measures that will ensure
organizational problems faced by the PAC since 1959 are
prevented from happening again that include the personal
conduct of each member in rank-and-file and especially
leadership as leaders should show some high level of
maturity in person & politically and be the guide to the
rank-and-file and the Nation at large.
. . . .blaming each other at this juncture is not helping
the PAC. Yes! many of us in the leadership and rank-and-file
has done wrong things for so long in the name of building
PAC, with the current state of affairs in the organization
no-one can claim to have achieved any formidable progress in
all our actions, the organization is bleeding. ONLY the anti
PAC forces that can claim progress at this hour . . .as
much as the anti PAC forces and infiltration to divert focus
of the PAC will always be there, we have made the ground so
fertile and easy for these forces to depeen divisions and
expedite the total collapse of the organization of PAC.
All of us we must accept differences, respect the need
for criticism and self-criticism in the interest of the PAC
and masses of our people.I am of a view that the need
araise for the PAC to have all its members and structures
fully subscribed and convene an INCLUSIVE Annual National
Conference, should a need for the September 2014 Conference
be postponed let it be postponed for later date and proper
political work be done to ensure all structures (the
aggrieved and the neutral) are on board. This particular
Conference won't be the Electing Conference it must be
the conference to correct all the wrongs and layout of a
path that will take PAC to a proper electing National
Conference with a clear Political Program to advance the
struggle of our people. The mistake has been done whereby
Congress/Conference it was in exclusion of other members who
had hold a different opinion. In all fairness we can't
repeat that again if we are really serious about the PAC and
the struggle of the masses of our people.
Amongst ourselves we have experienced old-guard and
bright young minds who can be tasked to work as a collective
doing that political work in bringing stability, cohesion in
the organization with all structures on board (aggrieved and
the neutral).
You can ridicule and rubbish me on this point I won't
lose any good night sleep but I am certain that
'ridicule' won't bring stability and cohesion in
the PAC !"Revolutionaries are not afraid of
their own mistakes. They have the political courage to admit
them publicly, because doing so means committing oneself to
correcting them and doing better." - Thomas Sankara
The decision of majority is not always right, same as the
leadership is not always right, to be withdrawn being
aggrieved and being neutral does not help the situation
either . . .masinyamezelane bantwana bomgquba ! Lets work
collectively to bring an end to the current mayhem.
True leadership are those who are prepared to accept
their mistakes and still turn back to correct them for the
greater good of the organization and the Nation.Off
cause this is my view it may not be the silver-bullet but it
calls for a serious rethinking on how we do things . . .
