Conrade Fihla You are deliberately distorting everything I wrote and argued. It is evident you are personalising issues and also driving a character assasination. You have dismally failed to prove your claims that I did nothing and know nothing about imprisoned APLA comrades.
We have seen some PAC members putting the crisis and feuding within the PAC on the shoulders of Cde Letlapa, Cde Mpethi and Cde Moloto, I argued that amidst these comrades errors and blunders, it's being disenginious because as PAC members we have cobtributed directly and indirectly to this unfolding crisis and disintegration of the party,thus o salvage the the PAC members and branches should take equal responsibility and move forward and forge unity starting from branch to regional level! It seems you prefer a subjective and personal approach instead of a structured and organisational approach, where there is transparency and accountability. The bitter truths is PAC Branches and members are faced with two parallel and feuding APLAMVA whose division compound factionalism in the PAC. Leaders of both two APLAMVA should swallow their pride and also consider to organise an inclusive and unifying APLAMVA Conference! Lastly, a direct challenge to your APLAMVA NEC is what plan of action does your APLAMVA has for us to support and rally the masses around for the Release of Imprisoned APLA comrades. instead of uncoordinated piecmeal visits! This will help all of to move away from what you call being judgemental and full of rhetoric! Nonetheless, let the people and history judge the correct analysis!
