The Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (once known as the Pan Africanist Congress, abbreviated as the PAC), was a South African liberation movement, that is now a minor political party. It was founded in 1959 after a number of members broke away from the African National Congress (ANC) because they objected to the substitution of the 1949 Programme of Action with the Freedom Charter adopted in 1955.[1] Robert Sobukwe was elected as the first president, at the founding conference held in April 1959 in Johannesburg.
