3	"Leballo never participated, as a member of the ANC, in major political campaigns but instead, invariably joined the enemy in denouncing these actions and attempting to disrupt them."
3	"Shortly after the defiance campaign knowing full well that the racist government was eager to take action under the suppression of communism act against the leaders and the members of the ANC and its allies, Leballo deliberately joined the enemy in a witch hunt for 'communists' in the presence of the secret police."
3	"After the adoption of the Freedom Charter in 1955 by the congress of the people, Leballo was the loudest in proclaiming that the historic Freedom Charter did not express the true aspirations of the liberation movement and people but was a document inspired by Moscow"
4	"The preparatory meetings of the PAC were held in the posh United States Information Service in Johannesburg where Leballo was employed. One such meeting in USIS in Johannesburg was with a group of pro-fascist SABRA professors. (new Age, 29/1/59) What was staggering about these meetings in the USIS in Johannesburg was that while the United States paid lip-service to the principles of race-equality, the embassy in the Union (of South Africa) operated a colour bar - no blacks were invited to their embassy functions then.  The grounds for operating the colour bar in SA was that 'unlike the Russians they did not want to infringe the country's liquor laws.' "The ANC article contains an extract from a South African newspaper which stated that the PAC was allegedly a CIA creation - (NEWS/CHECK 24/3/67) "....It is also averred that the CIA had a hand in the breakaway of the PAC from the ANC in the late fifties".
6	"The PAC managed such a multitude of political somersaults in so many important issues that its is virtually impossible to talk of PAC policy or to pinpoint its fundamental credo. Its only consistency has been an automatic rejection of everything said or done by the ANC. Apart from this, the PAC has managed during this period to be both racialist and multi-racialist, anti-communist and pro-communist, pro-violence and pacifist" "They have swung from the most virulent racialism against the whites and Indians to allowing representatives of both groups (in some cases with very questionable ties) to occupy leading and dominant positions in their apparatus."
7	"The myth of PAC militancy does not stand up to even a superficial scrutiny".  On the 18th of March 1960 Robert Sobukwe announced that the PAC would start 'a sustained, disciplined non-violent campaign against the pass laws on Monday, March 20, 1960'. Before the commencement of the campaign Mr Sobukwe issued the following final instructions to PAC militants: 'we are not going to burn or damage any part of the pass books in any manner. We are not going to fight or attempt to fight, assault or attempt to assault, provoke or attempt to provoke the police in their lawful duties. We are not going to throw stones at the police or do anything that is going to obstruct the police. Any person who does all these things shall be dealt with by the police and we, as an organisation, shall further deal with them. Nobody is carrying money, knives or any dangerous weapons with himself tomorrow'". Supplement Contact vol 3 no 24 3/12/60.
10	"The great 3-day strike of May 1961, which turned the planned "Republic Day Celebrations" into a farce, with a tense atmosphere of virtual martial law, found the PAC leadership once again in the role of strike-breakers. The PAC which had remained as silent as a grave since Sharpville, made a brief and inglorious appearance on the South African scene to issue leaflets calling on workers to ignore the stay-at-home call of Pietermaritzburg and Mandela - and to go to work as usual. Small wonder that Vorster's police were delighted and even helped distribute the PAC leaflets".
13	"The history of the PAC has been to destroy and defeat any form of United Front and subvert any form of militant action undertaken under the leadership of the ANC against the fascist regime."   "They have sabotaged ANC efforts to create a broader united front at home and abroad, even to include the PAC"
15	"the United Front was, however, soon to experience serious internal difficulties which later led to its dissolution. The divisive tendencies of the PAC reared their head very early in the life of the front. The PAC representatives started on a campaign of sabotaging the collective efforts of the constituent members, with the aim of projecting themselves as leaders of the only 'revolutionary' organisation fit to be spokesmen of the oppressed people of South Africa. Thus the PAC bore one more responsibility for weakening the combined onslaught against the murderous regime of South Africa. We need hardly point out that this was an occasion for great rejoicing in the ranks of the enemy".
16	"The counter-revolutionary and reactionary character of the PAC was skilfully shaped, moulded by a deceitful, opportunistic and adventuristic 'leadership' which manipulated the 'organisation' for their own selfish ends".
17	"Leballo's role in the PAC was to destroy and betray any growth and development of even a semblance of genuine revolutionary activity against the imperialists and racialists".
18	"Sunday March 24, 1963 Leballo at a press conference in Maseru dramatically announced himself the new leader of the PAC, three days before the release of Robert Sobukwe. This "gave the racists the excuse for passing the 'Sobukwe Clause' allowing them to detain him indefinitely. Leballo had done his dirty work well and had secured his position as a leader of the PAC and endangered whatever membership the PAC claimed as well as other freedom fighters in South Africa".
18	"Shortly after this disastrous press conference Leballo was apparently tipped off that his house and his offices would be raided, he escaped to some unknown place and conveniently left some two cartons of documents which contained, among other things, the names and addresses of approximately 10 000 people in South Africa whom Leballo claimed to be members of the PAC-POQO organisation. Both the South African Police and the Lesotho Police issued warrants for his arrest. In the meantime, however the South African Police carried out a reign of terror against thousands of people, many of whom were not even members of the PAC".
19	"Hans Lombard, a South African racist spy, arrived in Maseru in 1962. He claimed to be a wealthy British citizen and a journalist who wanted to serve the cause destroying apartheid. Despite warnings from some of his colleagues, Leballo soon established a close fraternal relationship with this obviously suspicious character. Leballo gave Lombard glowing credentials which gave him easy access to PAC offices abroad and Liberation Movements which had confidence in Leballo. This roving spy was able to accumulate a mass of information with the assistance of Leballo. Lombard narrowly escaped arrest by the Tanzanian Security, which had become suspicious of his activities since 1965. For his services as a South African agent, Lombard was later appointed political editor of the protagonists of the outward, or Northward looking policy of the Vorster Regime - Vorster's notorious 'detente' policy which aimed at halting, ess of Democrats was banned in 1962, and the Natal Indian Congress also had its leadership immobilised by arrests and bannings. In the early sixties many thousands of political activists were arrested and many black, Indian and Coloured leaders were eventually charged with the contravention of the country's security laws and either banned or jailed. Actions taken against anti-apartheid organisations had a devastating effect. Black unity which had been so dearly won before the war, and so threatened and so destroyed during the late fifties, could not be re-established by destroyed organisations attempting to survive as revolutionary underground organisations.
