As indicated in the attached documentation, the Pan-African Congress is a movement which split away from the larger African National Congress. The basis of the split is opposition, on behalf of the PAC membership, to the ANC's vision of a democratic multi-racial South Africa. The PAC supports the principle of "Africa for the Africans". Both groups are banned by the South African Authorities. For further information, please consult the attached documentation.
