Portrayal of PAC in negative light

It is pity that this website decide to portrait the PAC very negative light. The PAC has proud supporters across the country. The PAC programme had its own programme from inception, which did not have anything to do with ANC programme. The people of South Africa have not been ready for the programme of PAC but aware that ultimate Pan Africanism as represented by the PAC is only way. Sbusiso Xaba - xabas@webmail.co.za

Sure Susiso. But I think the recent changes have been somewhat of an improvement. Izwe Lethu.

Founder

Does anyone know who founded the Pan Africanist Congress in 1959?

If I remember right it was Robert Sobukwe Shizzel 19:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC) if i still recall it was Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe,and we as youth of PAC, we salute him because to us he is a hero nd that should be respected by many of ANC members —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.21.32.225 (talk) 14:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC) thats definectly Sobukweuser:Bobe(CUT) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.21.32.225 (talk) 14:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Removal of links

I've reverted the revisions of User:Michael Fisher because of the bulk removal of links from the article. There were some other subsequent changes that are now unfortunately also reverted by this change. Feel free to restore those changes (if I feel energetic I will also try to untangle this), but please don't remove the links as they are fundamental to Wikipedia. Zaian 22:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

This article was leaning a bit towards propagandism

The Pan Africanist Congress historically has been as uncritically vilified as the African National Congress has been uncritically praised. It thus is important to keep as the issues as free of ideology as possible. Terms such as "coup" (as in a "coup" by David Sibeko) or "Maoist-Leballoist faction" without any background information should be avoided.

What would be of interest is to start a discussion here of why the PAC was not able to attain power in South Africa while the ANC was able to. Any takers? Michael Fisher 20:50, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The PAC didn't succeed because it was too extreme and violent for most black South Africans, and, needless to say, completely opposed by white South Africans. Shizzel 19:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd say it was because the ideology of the party had been shown to be ideologically bankrupt by the disasterous experience of Nkrumah in Ghana etc. It was most fortunate that South Africans did not fall for its base and primitive populism as it would surely have taken the country on the road to ruin.
