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.

PAC is a racist anti-white and pro-black African organization, founded as a revolutionary and genocidal terrorist faction. It is hardly surprising that it should be represented in a negative light.Royalcourtier (talk) 23:40, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Paclogo.jpg

Image:Paclogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Flag

Considering that the PAC's flag is under copyright it might be prudent to create a substitute for infoboxes like what was done for Hezbollah, the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks and the Peoples' United Revolutionary Movement. Charles Essie (talk) 15:46, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Center Left

The party is on record as being against multi-racialism and has stated explicitly that they are black supremacists. This is not the traditional understanding of "center" in politics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 102.222.181.174 (talk) 15:39, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
