Lester Kiewit interviews Mbuso Dlamini, Deputy Secretary General of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC).

Listen below.

Although the PAC joined the Government of National Unity in June, their stance has shifted significantly.

The party has issued a statement distancing itself from the GNU and its leader Mzwanele Nyhontso, who serves as Minister of Land and Rural Development.

Dlamini claims the decision to join the GNU was not debated within any of the PAC’s official structures but was made by a small group of individuals, primarily Nyhontso.

He argues that Nyhontso's actions do not represent the PAC's position or interests.

"The PAC is not a member of the GNU."
- Mbuso Dlamini, Deputy Secretary General – Pan Africanist Congress of Azania

Dlamini emphasises that the PAC upholds its revolutionary stance and has not deviated from its core positions on land and Constitutional matters.

"This is a sellout between the ANC, the DA and Mr Nyhontso." 
- Mbuso Dlamini, Deputy Secretary General – Pan Africanist Congress of Azania
