2) further notes that Robert Sobukwe was a founding NEC member of the ANC Youth League in 1994 and, together with A P Mda, was the brain behind the 1949 programme of action of the ANC, which, among other things, called for political and economic freedom for African people;
3) notes that after breaking from the ANC and forming the PAC in 1959, he led what will go down in history as a defining moment in the struggle for national liberation, the pass boycott, which resulted in the massacre of hundreds of black people in Sharpeville, Langa and elsewhere in the country;
4) further notes that because the racist and apartheid government was so afraid of his Africanist ideas, the minority Parliament passed the Sobukwe Clause, empowering the then Justice Minister to prolong his sentence to an additional six years after the three years that he served;
5) notes that they further held him in solitary confinement on Robben Island, disallowing him reading material, radio or conversing with anyone, including the guards, for three full years, breaking the very brilliant and radical mind they so feared into madness;
6) further notes that all audio material of Robert Sobukwe is nowhere to be found today, that he remains the only liberation struggle leader in South Africa of his proportion whose voice has been completely erased from the archives by the apartheid regime;
7) notes that this signifies that the apartheid government was most afraid of Robert Sobukwe and that, had he lived to see the dawn of liberation, and due to the quality of leader that he was, he would not have compromised on the most golden demand - that of genuine decolonisation, which is land expropriation without compensation for equal distribution; and
8) that his legacy remains incomplete until the land has been restored to the indigenous South Africans who have seen the greatest crime against humanity: genocide, colonisation and apartheid.
