THE PAN AFRICANIST CONGRESS OF AZANIA
P.A.C. AZANIA
The Pan Africanist Congress of Azania
(once known as the Pan Africanist Congress, abbreviated as the
PAC), was a South African liberation movement, and is now a
minor political party. It was founded in 1959 after a number of members
broke away from the African National Congress (ANC)
because they objected to the substitution of the 1949 Programme of
Action with the Freedom Charter adopted in 1955.[1]
Robert Sobukwe was elected as the first president, at the
founding conference held in April 1959 in Johannesburg.
