Azapo’s response to Launch of New BCM
Political Party
17 July 2008
PRESS RELEASE
The Azanian People’s Organisation (AZAPO) would like to
distance itself from the announcement of the launch of a
new political party. We are not party to it.
As far as Azapo is concerned, unity discussions between
itself (AZAPO), Socialist Party of Azania (SOPA) and the
Black People’s Convention (BPC) are still in place. The
Presidents of the three organizations publicly announced
a pledge to unite the BCM organizations in December
2007. Negotiating teams from AZAPO, SOPA and BPC have
reached agreement in almost ninety percent of the
issues. The only sticky point outstanding was the issue
of the name. A consensus was reached to resolve this
matter at a unity congress of the three parties to be
held in August.
The announcement by Ben Khoapa has put the spanner in
the works for the BCM unity.
