Answer 2

The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) rejected the Freedom Charter because it believed that the document did not adequately address the rights and interests of black Africans. The PAC argued that the Freedom Charter was too inclusive and ignored the specific demands and aspirations of black Africans, particularly those in rural areas. The PAC also criticized the participation of white liberals in the creation of the charter, asserting that it undermined the principle of African leadership in the struggle for liberation.
