Comrade Nkrumah How are you, Son of the soil?
I would also appreciate to meet you and other comrade who would like to share ideas on the unity talks in relation to my input. My position is not cast in stone. I have applied my mind to the task at hand. May be I am not informed on the basis of twor approaches. I only based my position on the scientific approach to Party unity. I also drew lessons from other revolutions worldwide. The current crisis is not unique to PAC. All revolutionary parties through the world experienced the same challenge of factionalism. They addressed their own crises the same way as enshrined in the PAC Basic Documents. It is the only objective and scientific approach. Others are subjective and unscientific. That is my stance. Lest we forget! There is unfinished business in the PAC. People want to settle old scores, in one way or another. Let's not trivalise the current crisis. Some of political and ideological differences in the PAC have their roots going as far as in exile and in Robben Island in the days of Casablanca and Morovian groups, Katanga's, Panafro, Sobukwe Forum, APRP, etc. PAM, ID and APC are new phenomena. We need to open those wounds, surgically clean and stitch them so that they heal properly. The broad-church mentality does not work even in reformist parties like the ANC, let alone in evolutionary ones. My challenge is: I believe the approach enshrined in the PAC Basic Documents is the only correct and scientific one. The reason is, from my experience since I joined PAC, any position in line with the PAC Basic Documents is always the correct one at the end. Any violation of the PAC Basic Documents always proved to be wrong in the final analysis. Take, for example, the suspension of armed struggle by the PAC NWC and the President's violation of the PAC Constitution and Disciplinary Code after Qwaqwa Congress. No amount of innovation and creativity will ever disprove the correctness of the PAC Basic Documents. They are sacrosanct to us as Pan Africanist just like the Bible is to Christians. Once comrades start to question their correctness, I always feel suspicious of the intentions of those Party members. I know there is currently some members who openly disagree with Sobukwe and Kwame Nkrumah on certain political line they advocated for the Party Their mere mention of such disagreements makes me doubt their intentions and honest. They sound mischievous. To me, that is strange to claim to be following in the footsteps of Sobukwe and Nkrumah and still disagree with the them on their political line. Such a move is like being a proud Christian totally opposed to some of the teachings of Jesus Christ, for example, being opposed to the "turn-the-other-chick" stance advocated by Jesus Christ. It's contradiction in terms. Honest and loyal Christians do not advocate "an-eye-for-an-eye" stance in dealing with their enemies. May be after our meeting I will be convinced otherwise. As of now, I am not. I currently believe there is no need to event the wheel at this stage. The tools of resolving PAC crisis are enshrined in the PAC Basic Documents, no where else. I may be wrong. Please educate me, noble sons and daughters of the soil. I am available next week from Monday to Friday. I will be around Joburg for the whole week. We can meet at any convenient time. Let's keep in contact. I want to be honest, I am not convince the Top-down and Bottom-up approaches will ever work. I may be wrong. My instinct and logic say the opposite. Objectively, the two approaches are not workable. May be after our meeting I will see light at the end of the tunnel. Let's talk later, comrade. Izwe Lethu! Charge-in Mabaso Cell: 071 020 3554 .
