STATEMENT | DEFENDING THE BANNER OF PASO

The PASO National Task Team has today successfully defended the banner of PASO politically, legally and ideologically.

We reaffirm that PASO remains the authentic student wing of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, founded in 1989, and no parallel structure will be allowed to distort its revolutionary character.

We thank all Comrades, the PAC leadership, PAYCO President Cde Sonwabo Nxiba and all branches, regions and provinces who stood firm in defence of our movement.

The struggle continues.

SPEECH BY THE CHAIRMAN MoAfrika SPHIWE SITHATHU OF PASO ON THE OCCASION OF THE JEMS INFRASTRUCTURE VICTORY

Members of PASO,
Learners of JEMS,
Community members

MaAfrika today as PASO we mark a victory of struggle.

Early this year, we as PASO took a difficult decision. We saw ourselves, our brothers and sisters learning in conditions that are not conducive for learning, while a building project was stalling due to failure of management. We said: enough is enough.

We met with the Circuit and the Department. We demanded that the project must be sped up. We said the failure of management must not be paid for by our learners.

For that, we paid a price. Our members were insulted. We were labelled as hooligans. Our academics were compromised because we spent days in meetings and pickets instead of being in class. But we understood that leadership demands sacrifice.

Today, when we see bricks being laid and classes being built at JEMS, we know that sweat was not in vain.

Africans, let me be clear: this is not total victory. Total victory will only come when every learner in Tsakane sits in a safe, proper classroom. But this is a step closer to it. And it is proof that when we are organized and use radical and militant approach we win.

To the learners of JEMS: this victory belongs to you. Protect these buildings as you protected this struggle.

To PASO members: never be afraid to be called names for standing for the truth. History will absolve us.

We will continue to monitor this project until the last brick is laid.

Izwe Lethu.💚🖤💛

PASO DUDUZA Branch is DISTURBED BY FIRE AT TANDI SIBEKO SCHOOL — NOT THE FIRST TIME, WE DEMAND URGENT INVESTIGATION

The Pan Africanist Student Organisation of Azania (PASO) Duduza Branch Task Team has learned with deep shock and concern that Tandi Sibeko Secondary School caught fire over the weekend.

This is not the first time this school has caught fire.

We as PASO are deeply disturbed. Regardless of anything a school is a school. When a school burns, it is the future of Azanian learners that burns.

Our concern:

1. Learners of Tandi Sibeko are now left stranded. Where will they learn? Their exams, their classrooms now everything is disrupted. The Department must act with speed.

2. That this is not the first time raises serious questions. Is it electrical fault? Is it poor infrastructure? Is it negligence? Or is it sabotage? We cannot allow a school to burn every year and treat it as normal.

3. We have seen many schools burning, and after they burn, tenders are issued. The future of learners cannot be gambled for tenderpreneurs. We must investigate whether these fires are not becoming a business.

We therefore call for:

a) An immediate and transparent investigation by the Gauteng Department of Education and SAPS into the cause of the fire at Tandi Sibeko Secondary School. The report must be made public.
b) Urgent alternative learning space for Tandi Sibeko learners so that learning is not interrupted, especially for matriculants.
c) A full audit of electrical infrastructure and safety compliance in all schools, particularly those that have burnt before.
d) The Department must stop normalizing school fires. One school burning is one too many.

PASO will visit Tandi Sibeko to offer solidarity to learners and teachers. We call on all stakeholders to unite in demanding safe schools for all learners.

We wish no learner to lose education due to fire. An injury to Tandi Sibeko learners is an injury to all learners in Azania.

We stand with Tandi Sibeko.
