The Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) turns 62 today. The PAC was formed in 1959 by the late founder Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe. The party soon made history in South Africa when it organized the 1960 march against the imposition of the pass laws by the apartheid government.
Despite its early political gains and its mark in South African history, the PAC has been plagued by internal fighting and an unresolved leadership crisis.
In 2019 the Independent Electoral Committee (IEC) could not register the PAC for elections as it could not determine the legitimate group and rightful leader.
The Commission had to await a court outcome to resolve a pending litigation before the PAC could be registered for elections.
Joining us now is Dr Motsoko Pheko, he's a lawyer, author, historian, and South African politician.
