BLACK RECONSTRUCTION!.

 WHAT QUALIFIES PEOPLE AS POLITICAL ANALYSTS!. The South African mainstream media especially the current affairs is populated with all sorts of so-called political analysts , but most if not all subscribe to similar ideological convictions namely Liberalism and Neo-Liberalism. Of course it is not coincident that all these so-called analysts are paraded in our TV screens and radios, they are a vital cog in the machinery of the neo-liberal system, it is safe to refer to them as the "buttering rams". They always sing from a similar hymn book ,their analyses are well choreographed to defend the status quo, majority of these so-called analysts are drawn from the Universities which goes some way in explaining their position and vested interests in defending the status quo. They are already part of the system and are benefiting handsomely , it is only logical that they would  not want to rock the boat so to speak. Those who hold the views and positions which are diametri

 WHAT MAKES IT SO EASY FOR BLACK(AFRIKAN) PEOPLE TO BE DISRESPECTED? One of the greatest tragedies of humanity is the disrespect and ill-treatment Afrikans are subjected to be it here in Afrika, Europe , America, Asia and all over the globe. The Black body is never treated with the same respect and courtesy accorded to the Europeans , Asians , Arabs ,ect. The death of a Black person be it murdered by the State or as a result of tragedy it never brings the world to a standstill. The saddest reality is that even Black people have bought into the idea that the life of a Black person is worthless hence we as Black people ,especially Black men never think twice about visiting violence on each other. Take South Africa as a prime example the official stats point to a very grim picture which shows that Black men die more than any other group and they die at the hands of fellow Black men. This points to the reality that Black men have bought into the inferiority complex which has be

 BLACK MEN VS BLACK WOMEN, WHO STANDS TO GAIN FROM THIS FEUD?. One of the most concerning developments for any politically and race conscience Afrikan person especially those residing in the criminal colonial entity named South Africa should be the ever growing tensions between Afrikan Men and Afrikan Women within South Africa. The social media platforms especially Facebook and Twitter are populated by posts in which Black Men are bashing Black Women and vice -versa is also true. These posts are merely a reflection of real tensions that exist on the ground between Black Men and Black Women. I am saying these social media posts are merely a reflection of the real tensions on the ground because South Africa is confronted by a scourge of Gender Based Violence, not only that but also a pandemic of violence in society in which according to the official statistic 70 murders are are committed daily. Mind you this is the official stats, we are not sure how many are not captured int

 WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE TSHIAME SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE(SEZ)?. Tshiame in Harrismith under the Maluti A Phofung Local Municipality in the Free State province is one of the areas which have been earmarked to benefit by having the Special Economic Zone.The Special Economic Zones within South Africa are geographically designated areas set aside for specifically targeted economic activities to promote national economic growth and exports by using support measures to attract foreign and domestic investments and technology . SEZ is an area in which the business and trade laws are different from the rest of the country.One of the major advantages of Special Economic Zones is that there is a clause of total exemption of the income tax on the income incurred via export through these SEZs. The Tshiame Special Economic Zone which has now been branded the Maluti a Phofung Special Economic Zone has been on the pipeline for decades as far as my memory can serve me. It is a project which in

 WHAT WOULD BE THE IMPACT OF SOUTH AFRICA'S CASE AGAINST ISRAEL AT THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE?. The 11th of January 2024 will be remembered in the history books as day when South Africa took on the murderous Apartheid Israel. South Africa has taken the Apartheid Israel to the International Court of Justice on the charge of Genocide / Ethnic Cleansing committed against the people of Palestine. This action has attracted the attention of both local and international media and sparked debate on the significance of this action by South Africa. As expected it has attracted debates from many sides with the pro-Israel camp led by the United States of America vs the pro-Palestine camp led by South Africa. In many ways this reminds us of the role the United States of America played in propping up the Apartheid South Africa government and continued to trade with the Apartheid South Africa despite numerous United Nations resolutions condemning the Apartheid South Africa gov

 THE SO-CALLED BORDER PATROL BY THE AFROPHOBIC PATRIOTIC ALLIANCE IS A NEW LOW!. This week we were greeted by images and visuals of the afrophobic Patriotic Alliance conducting what they termed patrolling the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe. This is definitely a new low in so many fronts , it has ramifications at both local and international level. To have civilians "patrolling" the borders and at worse a group of a political formation which is known for its hatred for Afrikans under the guise of preventing "illegal migrants / foreigners " from entering South Africa must definitely be ranked amongst the highest embarrassments we have suffered. The prejudice the Patriotic Alliance holds against Africans is of public knowledge, unfortunately whenever they have been afforded opportunities and platforms to substantiate their views they have failed dismally . The conduct by the Patriotic Alliance is embarrassing firstly on the front that the governme

 EDUCATION IS NOT IDEOLOGICALLY NEUTRAL!. There is a Liberal Rationality idea which has infiltrated the minds of Afrikans , the idea that education is ideologically neutral. We have surrendered the minds of our children to the system, the same system which is responsible for the oppression and marginalization of Afrikans. Unfortunately we are the only race which holds this idea, other races who by the way happen to be dominating us have understood the importance of education in propelling yourselves as a race and in subjugating other races.  This would go a long way in explaining how come a race (Afrikans) which civilized the world(yes Afrika is the mother of civilization,contrary to the hogwash and distortions we have been fed) to day finds itself at the bottom of the human pyramid . The dominant races understand the importance of what we call Ideological Apparatus (Education,Media,Religion) which is why they have invested heavily in the development of these Ideological Ap

 SOCIAL MEDIA IS A REFLECTION OF SOCIETY! The advent of Social Media has really changed how people relate with each other and has some how done away with antiquated ways of communication and how people relate with each other. Such an advancement has brought with it the good and  the bad. It has meant someone in South Africa can easily communicate with someone in Brazil,Nigeria or China at almost no cost. Social media platforms such as X formerly Twitter,Facebook,YouTube and even WhatsApp are at the forefront of this revolutionary in the means of communication and connecting the world. I for one belong to a WhatsApp group named the Che Guevara Internationalist Brigade which consist of participants from South Africa, Zambia, Ghana, Haiti, Venezuela,United States of America just to name a few. These are the people I met back in 2019 when we gathered in the city of Caracas in Venezuela for the Che Guevara Internationalist Brigades and the International Peoples Assembly. In this

 THE 2024 MESSAGE TO THE AFRIKAN FAMILY! Warm and revolutionary greetings to you Afrikan Family as we welcome the New Year 2024(as per the Gregorian Calendar). One of the struggles we must wage going forward as part of the decolonization efforts is the restoration of the Afrikan Calendar which has been relegated into the peripheries in favour of the Gregorian Calendar. This is important because the Afrikan Calendar is aligned with our Spirituality and nature. Ofcourse one is not unaware of how much of a colossal task that would be and cannot be waged in isolation of the broader struggle for decolonization. This year 2024 is a big year ,a year which is pregnant with many events,especially in the political arena. The Democratic Republic of Congo the richest country in the world interms of the mineral resources it is endowed with has just completed an "election" process and the incumbent Felix Tshisekedi has secured the second term as the President of the Democratic
