Pan-Africanism is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. Based on a common goal dating back to the Atlantic slave trade, the movement extends beyond continental Africans with a substantial support base among the African diaspora in the Americas and Europe.Pan-Africanism can be said to have its origins in the struggles of the African people against enslavement and colonization and this struggle may be traced back to the first resistance on slave ships—rebellions and suicides—through the constant plantation and colonial uprisings and the "Back to Africa" movements of the 19th century. Based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to "unify and uplift" people of African descent.At its core, pan-Africanism is a belief that "African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny". Pan-Africanist intellectual, cultural, and political movements tend to view all Africans and descendants of Africans as belonging to a single "race" and/or sharing cultural unity. Pan-Africanism posits a sense of a shared historical fate for Africans in America, West Indies, and on the continent, itself centered on the Atlantic trade in slaves, African slavery, and European imperialism.Pan-African thought influenced the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity (now the African Union) in 1963. The African Union Commission has its seat in Addis Ababa and the Pan-African Parliament has its seat in Johannesburg and Midrand.

Further will a plastic...

    Space saving AND offset pan connector?

    Hi all, Quick one I hope! Have a toilet that was relatively near the wall with a space saving pan connector (like a question mark). We've now tiled the room which was previously plain wall and so with the cement, backerboard, tile cement and tiles this has brought the wall in a bit too close...

    Cistern to Pan, pipe leaking

    Hi Everyone, My toilet has developed a small leak between the feed pipe and the toilet pan, I think the seal has perished at the bottom. Each time I flush, a small amount of water washes back and subsequently on the floor. I have posted an ad to find a plumber, but as the toilet is 5 years...

    Leaking Pan connector

    I’ve renovated my understairs bathroom and am now at the point where I’m connecting the toilet to the existing waste. To do this I’ve purchased McAlpine WC-F26R Flexible WC Pan Connector White 97-107mm and pushed it straight into the existing ’Multikwik’ waste connector. The leak is between...

    Pan Connector to Soil Pipe - Cut or not to Cut

    All, We have an old soil pipe stack which has an inner diameter of 90mm. I presume it is a pitch fibre soil pipe (it's not cast iron). I have been down the local plumbers' merchants and sourced a suitable pan connector, namely a McAlpine WC-CON7B. The toilet outlet is around 30mm higher...

    I am planning to refurbish a bathroom in a "modern" house - ie 30 years old. Part of the work is to install a new shower pan and cubicle together with wall boards (inside the shower only). The bathroom is upstairs and sits on a chipboard floor. Although there is no evidence of leakage under the...

    Could this be a Rat?! Whole in pan connector

    Woke this morning to see water pouring out the bottom of our downstairs loo. Took a closer look and found this large whole in the pan connector. Easy enough to replace - but what could have made this hole? Is a rat the most obvious answer? See picture!

    Best S pan connector for offset pipe?

    I have an existing S-bend Twyford toilet and am looking to replace it with a new Twyford E100 close-coupled toilet. Looking at the diagram (https://images.victorianplumbing.co.uk/images/E100-RND-WC1_Line.jpg) the Twyford S pan connector puts the centre of the floor pipe 80mm from the wall, but...

    Why does my toilet bowl have a hole?

    I have what i believe is a German made toilet bowl. At the back just above the pan outlet is a small round hole (obviously created when manufactured). What is this for and why doesn't water come out when you flush?

    How to stop a pan connector leaking when you can't remove the toilet to replace it.

    Hi all, I'm hoping the title says it all - I've got a low level toilet in an old-fashioned community hall that is concreted to the floor and the pan connector is leaking. It's only a small leak thankfully but there's no way to get the toilet out without breaking the pan and opening up a world...

    Silicon sealing a back to the wall WC pan

    The pan is screwed down using a Screwfix/Rawlplug fitting kit and I have sealed the pan to the wall tiles. My question is: Do I need to also seal the pan to the floor tiles? I think it looks neater without silicon to the floor tiles and it would create a sealed void should the cistern inlet...

    How long can it take to replace a fully back-to-wall WC pan?

    Bit of a head-scratcher and I know the answer is 'how long is a piece of string'. A potential customer wants a fully enclosed back-to-wall pan (the type with no access from room side) replaced. Not something I have done before. While there is an access panel where the concealed cistern is...
