Mam' Winnie

She is South Africa's Warrior Queen. - We cannot deny that she joined the peoples organization because of her husband, however she was not made by her husband, she was a single mother and became a mother of the liberation movement and the antion. She became a leader in her own account and she fought side by side with the rest of the comrades. " i deliberately exposed myself, to a lot of harassment, for his name to be remembered." This woman and many other female comrades, continue to be uncelebra ted and their legacy to be neglected. “I became a symbol of resistance. " That was why the past governemnt wanted to destroy her. The pressure to free the struggle prisoners, came from the unrest she was leading in the country, along with the comrades left on the ground. The liberation movement has kept very patriarchal face and I fear the lack of role playing in the ANCWL. # Amandla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq_axQthHrY

Organizing Afrikans - the case of race - Posts

Whites have learnt the power of organised economy, where they structure their economic power in such a way that it stays within the circle of white minority rule. White privilege is one of the best preserved institutional systems. While Afrikans can organised themselves in protests and marches, there is a lack of education on the institutions they are protesting against. With no understanding of the enemy’s strategy or knowledge of the type of virus you are fighting, the symp toms can mislead the diagnosis. The best example of this is the recent incident of Qwabe who chose to leave a condition to the waitress should she qualify for a tip. Qwabe noted the symptom, which is the displacement of the Afrikans land. The power of the white man in the South African context was shown when the privileged group raised over R150k to show that they don’t need the Afrikan man’s money, because they own the land, the economy and the Afrikan. Unknowingly or knowingly the white South African ...

gender posts

The issue of social change pertaining women can only transform when women themselves, come to the Awakening of their selves. The idea of transformation and policy can only work when women who are in strategic positions within the political, social and economic spheres are able to talk and stand up for themselves. At the moment in South Africa there seems to be number of women in strategic position within the public and government fields, but very few of them are making tang ible change in the advancement of women’s right in their constituency. We have political organization that have women’s league, who have not utilized their positions in the leagues to advance the general South African woman rights. As a woman is involved in youth politics and activism, it worries me when still I cannot find adequate writings and books on Afrikan woman, who were part of the movements to liberate South African, woman in Afrikan stories of liberation have no names, rather there are attributed as ‘women...

MY views - ANC election rhetoric

The  ANC  does not bring up the Apartheid only during election, the apartheid legacy is every where in South Africa. Zuma and the ANC has just become a great divergence for racist whites and privileged minority of South Africa. Firstly Zuma and the ANC are not powerful enough to put us (SA) in the financial mess we are in, for those who read and maybe have a bit of African and general political and econ omics background would Know, that the previous government left a huge debt in the hands of the incoming democratic government. which until today has not been cleared or lessened. The ANC government, has had to try a feed, clothe, house and try protect millions of black people, who where displaced and are in poverty for hundreds of years, at the same time protect those who coursed the problems ( whites). It is nonsense that these privilege whites have lied to thousands of Blacks of this beautiful land and using a puppet to lead our people to the fire. Zuma and the ANC leaders ar...

Fees must fall - my posts

So students are calling for free education for ALL! hayi guys, i don't agree with the "all" part. How do you treat a black child form the rural areas, who has nothing to their name, the same way as a white student from Summerstand. Free Education is meant to redress and try equalise access to these institutions of higher learning for the poor majority and previously disadvantaged. Now rich and poor, in education must be equal? Free Education must be for those who can not afford it, why privilege those who are already privileged?  There are to many ideas and lack of cohesiveness amongst student leaders. There needs to be one voice, echoing in all their voices... I worry about this call for free education, by a divided student body, who seem to have divided ideas on how to achieve this free education. Each corner seems to be fighting to be the dominant leader in the movement (FMF). So as I watch these student leaders in the forefront and speaking to media, making sur...
