In Conversation with The PAC

The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) is a political party whose presence in the South African political landscape spans just over half a century. The PAC’s origins came about as result of the lack of consensus on the Africanist debate within the African National Congress (ANC). When the Freedom Charter was adopted at Kilptown in 1955, those who championed the Africanist ideological stance felt that this was a betrayal of the struggle. The deepening of political differences broke out into the open in November 1958. The party has since been confronted by various challenges, one of which being its internal factions that resulted in a legal contest for the party’s presidency. In the next hour we speak to the PAC  as we build up to elections.
