As the country is plunging from one crisis to another we can draw a lot of lessons and courage from Sobukwe’s heroic life. He taught us to be consistent when we fight for what we believe is rightfully ours.
As a leader of the ANC and after co-founding the PAC he never changed his political standings and principles, he always remained true to his cause that the land should be returned to its rightful proprietors, the majority of African descendants.
“We reject multi-racialism in favour of a non-racial democracy because multi-racialism suggests a maintenance of racial groups.” “The Africanists take the view that there is only one race to which all belong and that is the human race.” The mistake we are making as we attempt to tell the life and times of Sobukwe is to only limit him to the leader of a liberation movement, an anti-apartheid activist. Sobukwe was more than that; he was more of a philosopher and theorist than a politician, in the same league as the likes of John Locke, Alexis de Tocqueville, Eduard Bernstein, Mary Wollstonecraft and Vladimir Lenin.
