THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY RECONCILIATION WITHOUT JUSTICE!!!.#reconciliation #justice

  THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY RECONCILIATION WITHOUT JUSTICE ! The 16th of December in South Africa is marked as Reconciliation Day,this has been the case since the 1994. The day was previously known as Dingane Day that was pre-1994 it was named after the Zulu King uDingane.  The naming of the day Reconciliation Day is a controversial move especially for those of us the section of society which refuses to take things at face value but analyse things deeply. It is controversial because it is an attempt to coerce the natives (Africans) into some reconciliation with the invaders(Whites) without the invaders having apologized for the atrocities of Colonialism and Apartheid. The White population continue benefiting from the legacy of Colonialism and Apartheid which is a legacy of violent dispossession of the Africans of their land and livestock, a legacy of slavery. I mean Apartheid was declared a crime against humanity for a reason,worse the White community is still refusing to ackn

MINDLESS ENTERTAINMENT IS A DISTRACTION TO BLACK MEN!

 MINDLESS ENTERTAINMENT IS AS DISTRACTION TO BLACK MAN!. The mindless and meaningless entertainment has proven to be a serious distraction to Black Men. I am deliberately targeting Black Men because we are the ones always leading in the introduction of this mindless entertainment and end up luring Black Women into this mindless activities we call entertainment. Is it not us Black Man who introduced harmful practices such as the dubious "Mavuso" an act of picking up ladies from the taverns and other places of "entertainment" sleep with them over-night and then offer them money in the morning?.Is it not Black Men who go out into these so-called places of entertainment with a sole purpose of luring women using material things such as cars and alcohol,and worse some target young women,ladies who are young enough to be their daughters?. This is a phenomenon which we refer to as KONKARING . The main source and drive behind this behavior by Black Men is the lac

EXPEL THE ISRAELI EMBASSY FROM SOUTH AFRICA NOW!#Palestine #Israel

 EXPEL THE ISRAELI EMBASSY FROM SOUTH AFRICA NOW! There has been growing calls for South Africa to cut ties with the Apartheid and Murderous Israel with immediate effect. This is not a new call but has been in existence for decades,it was just renewed by the recent escalated attacks by Israel on the people of Palestine. Most will be aware that on the 7th of October 2023 Hamas undertook a defensive military operation to attack some parts of Israel,this operation resulted into a death of over thousand Israel citizens. I am terming this military operation by Hamas as a defensive operation because it is one of the tactics used by the oppressed people to free themselves from the shackles of oppressors(Israel in this case). It was this military operation by Hamas which provided the blood thirsty and murderous Israel with a dubious justification to escalate its attack on the people of Palestine.However,it would be dangerous and misleading to start the conversation from the 7th of

TRIBALISM REMAINS AN OBJECT AGAINST THE UNITY OF AFRIKANS!

 TRIBALISM REMAINS AN OBJECT AGAINST THE UNITY OF AFRIKANS!. The history of Afrikans is fraught with stories and accounts of how racism has always been thorny issue which caused divisions and ultimately weakened the Afrikan States opening them up to the invading and blood thirsty Arabs and Europeans. I suggest that any Afrikan who is serious about the advancement of Afrika should read the book by Chancellor Williams titled The Destruction Of Black Civilization.It is in this work(book) where a great detail is given on how tribalism or tribalistic differences aided the work of the Arabs and the Europeans in their quest to conquer Afrika. The Arabs and the Europeans used this tribalistic differences and amplified them as they played one Afrikan group against another. This kept the Afrikans preoccupied with fighting among themselves and turned a blind eye against the real enemy which was making inroads into the Afrikan Land. South Africa officially is made up of the Zulus,Xhosa

IS CHRISTIANITY BEING FAVORED BY THE SA STATE OVER OTHER RELIGIONS?

 IS CHRISTIANITY BEING FAVORED BY THE SA STATE OVER OTHER RELIGIONS? The 25th December is popularly known as Christmas Day through out the world, South Africa is no difference . What we do know is that this has not always been the case with Africa,especially South Africa. Christmas Day is a day linked to the religion of Christianity . Christianity in its current form was introduced to Africa by the Europeans (Missionaries) who came to Africa as early as 1400s,these Missionaries were accompanying or were part of the invading Europeans who came to Colonize Africa. This was part of their expansionist program or agenda in search of more land mainly for economic reasons,hence they never thought twice or hesitate to commit atrocities and genocide in their quest to conquer and disposes Africans of their land. The Europeans had a multi-pronged strategy in their quest for conquest of the African land,this strategy consisted of Armed Confrontation,False pretense of friendship(Trade)

RACISM IS NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL ATTITUDE,BUT ABOUT GROUP POWER!#racism #justice

 RACISM IS NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL ATTITUDE,BUT ABOUT GROUP ECONOMIC POWER!. South Africa is one of the countries that continue to be haunted by the spectre of racism almost three decades into the democracy. The spectre of racism is showing itself on multiple fronts e.g economy,social life,and even in sports. This week the country was greeted by visuals of a young white man in his twenties,the young white man is captured in a video referring to the Economic Freedom Fighters as the "Kiffers",to those who do not know the Economic Freedom Fighters is the third biggest political party in South Africa and it is mainly Black in its make-up and posture. Lot of people have correctly come out to condemn the white young man,however his actions are a reflection of a deep seated problem of white racism in South Africa and ofcourse the world in general. I mean we are talking about a young man who is in his twenties atleast,this is someone who did not live or grow up in the era of

STOP WEAPONIZING RAPE!!!.

Image
 STOP  WEAPONIZING RAPE Rape carries a very serious stigma and reputational damage(correctly so). So whenever a person is accused of rape it should not be taken lightly. South Africa is one of the countries confronted with scary high number of rape and sexual assaults cases. For years I am one of the people who have been writing consistently against the the worrying trend of women falsely accusing men of rape. This has been case especially in the political space. This morning Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi was trending on X(formerly Twitter) and when I checked the reason for him trending that is when I came across a post from Daily Sun. The Daily Sun publication was issuing an apology to Dr Ndlozi . I will quote the apology by the Daily Sun "The Daily Sun herewith retracts all defamatory statements made and published by it on 11 to 12 April 2021 on its online website,and Twitter and Facebook accounts,in respect of the rape accusation against Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi,MP. The daily Sun

EX PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA WON'T CAMPAIGN FOR THE ANC IN 2024!.#JacobZuma #ANC

  FORMER PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA WON'T CAMPAIGN FOR THE ANC IN 2024! Today the 16th December 2023 the former President Jacob Zuma has announced he will not campaign for the governing African National Congress (ANC) in the upcoming National and Provincial Elections in 2024. The former President has advanced a plethora of issues and reasons behind his decision to not campaign for the ANC in 2024. Amongst the other reasons he listed it is that the ANC has betrayed the cause of the revolution and abandoned the mission for National Democratic Revolution. He has accused the ANC of Ramaphosa of declaring a war against the Black professionals . This development will clearly be subject to a number of analysis going forward. The former President has announced he will be voting for newly registered Umkhonto WeSizwe Party.What impact will this decision have on the political dynamics going forward to the 2024 National and Provincial Elections?. There we expectations from some of the qu

SOUTH AFRICA RANKED NUMBER 5 IN TERMS OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION!#Abuse #Entertainment

  SOUTH AFRICA RANKED NUMBER 5 IN TERMS OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION! This week I came across on X formerly Twitter a post reporting that South Africa is ranked number five in the world in terms of alcohol consumption. Now it is not my intention to get into a debate about the credibility or lackof of this poll,however,any honest South African will not deny that in South Africa we have an alcohol abuse problem. It also so just happen that coincides with the painful passing of our beloved music icon Zahara whom her struggles or relationship with alcohol is well documented and I think most of us know the health dangers posed by alcohol.It should not come as a shock that as South Africa we are ranked that high in the world in terms of alcohol consumption,I'm saying it should not come as a shock because we witness on daily basis how people abuse alcohol,even miners.It was not long ago when 21 children lost their lives in what has become to be known as the Enyobeni Tarven Tragedy where miners

Zahara Departs the world of the living!.#Zahara #TK Nciza #DjSbu

 South Africa has been engulfed by a dark cloud after the news of the passing of the music icon Zahara real name Bulelwa. Her passing is tragic on many fronts first being that she was just in her mid-thirties which means she still had so much to offer the South African Society especially through her music,her music resonates with so much people. Secondly her passing is tragic since it has been clouded by controversies emanating from how the recording labels(companies) may have treated her.Standing accused are her former employers TS Records which is or was owned by TK Nciza( Current ANC Gauteng Provincial Secretary) and businessman Dj Sbu. Ofcourse claims of exploitation have been refuted by DJ Sbu and it is not my intention to judge who is telling the truth since I'm not privy to the intimate details of their contracts/. However,what I want us to concern ourselves with the sad state of our Artists and how they get robbed of their dues by the system, a system which seems to be care

16 Days of Activism Against Women and Children Abuse #GenderBasedViolence #Justice

 16 Days of Activism Against Women and Children Abuse!!! Today the 10th of December 2023 marks an end of another 16 Days Of Activism Against Women and Children Abuse campaign which started on the 25th of November 2023. This is an annual campaign which has been running for years now as far back as my high school days in the early 2000s. I think none of us can genuinely dismiss its importance interms of raising the awareness and making sure that the plight of the vulnerable is brought to the attention of all. However,of late I have found myself wondering and asking questions about the effectiveness of this campaign,what analytical framework is being used to measure its success?. Has this campaign not degenerated to a mere annual ritual? We have to ask these questions as a way of ensuring that the campaign remains effective and is making the necessary contribution in the fight against this scourge . While legislation and its effective implementation are key,the two cannot be the the be it
