PAN AFRICANIST MOVEMENT PAM

PAN AFRICANIST MOVEMENT (PAM)

• Profile

2
Historic Background

• Pan Africanist Movement was formed by former
  members of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania
  (PAC).
• These members challenged Letlapa Mphahlele on 2
  major issues eg that his suspension of the PAC
  constitution on 22 September 2007 was unlawful
  and the subsequent dissolution of the National
  Executive Committee (NEC).
• Letlapa issued a court interdict against the
  aggrieved members which he subsequently won by
  technicality at Bloemfontein High Court.
• Aggrieved members subsequently decided to
  revive PAM which was led by Clarence Makwetu in
  1989 to revive the fortunes of the PAC and claim
  the soul of the PAC from Letlapa group whom we
  believe are on a mission to dilute and destroy
  the PAC.
• PAM was eventually launched on 17-18 December
  2009 at Khayelitsha in Cape Town.
• PAM got its official Registration Certificate
  from the IEC on 13/02/2009 to contest 2009
  elections.
