Steve Biko Can't Tell Me Nothing

Steve Biko Can't Tell Me Nothing!

It's very sad that for over 24 years, we were taught that Apartheid was this evil, racist, oppressive and murderous regime whose primary aim was to suppress and exploit Black people from maximising their full potential, in a country that was and is truly theirs.

So much that we were taught to be skeptical of Whites, and to look at Indians and Coloureds as reformed tractors.

While holding on to the illusion that was made famous by the late Steve Biko, that Blacks have endured so much oppression from Whites that it is impossible for them to be racist.

[Which is strange, because Steve Biko should have known that when the Mfengu's had fled from Shaka's Mfecane; they came to Xhosa land to seek refuge. Through King Hintsa, the Emperor all amaXhosa, they found more than refuge. They were integrated as Xhosas.

Yet the amaXhosa did not receive them well. They abused, exploited and even treated them as actual dogs. Thus they too possessed the same oppressive quality that he was condemning Whites for.

For every Xhosa man who lived during Steve Biko's time knew this history very well, and it had happened just over 100 years prior.

Thus it was strange that Steve Biko did know this. The same way it is strange for Thabo Mbeki to say that South Africans are not Xenophobic when every year they kill hundreds of African Foreign Nationals for being in their country.

Yet again, when you are blinded by racism, you cease to be objective. Your objective is Colour.]

Thus when you look and deal with Black people, one could let go of their guard; for now they were dealing with a Saint who could not sin unless the White man oppresses him enough.

Yet when you look into reality, you easily find that, this was all ANC propaganda; designed to cripple Blacks from using their majority vote to vote and demand the prosperous life they thought the end of Apartheid was going to yield.

For if Black people were not intellectually crippled by the ANC, the latter would not be in power and Blacks would not be starving as they are today.

[For no government has ever subjected Black South Africans to this level of helplessness, uselessness and hopelessness as the ANC has.

The only difference is that Black South Africans give the ANC a mandate to keep them poor and hungry every five years. So clearly they enjoy being worthless.]

Yet because they are intellectually crippled, they do not possess the intellectual might to doubt their leaders and act on this doubt.

The same way when the weather man is telling you that it is sunny, because you have a functional brain; you don't just accept his claim as truth. You go outside and verify yourself.

In fact, you carry an umbrella despite what the weather man is telling you on SABC. For your ability to use your brain compels to think and act according to your own interests. And when you step outside, you find that your neighbors also did the same thing.

However, it seems as though Black South Africans are incapable of doing this. The same way Africans in general have proven to be incapable of thinking clearly, as we see them keeping the same leaders who impoverish them, in power.

I mean, how is it possible that Black graduates were more successful during Apartheid than they are in a Democratic South Africa?

How is it that today, with Blacks in power, that only 5% of Black students graduate on time; whereas during Apartheid (1975), 15% of them graduated?

How is it that today's graduates are begging their own government for jobs, when the Apartheid government not only gave them jobs; but gave them scholarships to study abroad, and come with better skills to invest in South Africa?

In essence, why are things worse now, for Black people than they were under Apartheid, under White racists?

It is because we merely replaced one racist regime with another one. The only difference was that Apartheid actually yielded jobs, while ANC-Rule destroys them and is bent on keeping Blacks hungry.

This continues to perpetuate itself because Black South Africans have proven themselves to be unwilling to think and act for themselves in the political arena. Just as we see with Whites, Coloureds and Indians, who have grown to be more successful under ANC-Rule than Blacks could ever dream of.

How can they not be more successful when most Black people dont even own a book, much less read it?

If only our Youth could realise that they have been duped by their parents, most of whom are blindly devoted to the ANC. And that their enemy is not some foreign invader with a foreign language.

If they, just like African-Americans could realise that it is their own community that is a threat to their own lives. For it is their own leaders who sell them short in exchange for a cheque.

The same way it was Black chiefs who sold of their own people to be American slaves; in exchange for mirrors and beads.

Vuka Mzantsi!

Poverty Does Not Have To Be Your Best Friend. The Arms of Prosperity Are Yours To Embrace!

AFRICANS DON’T WANT DEVELOPMENT

AFRICANS DON’T WANT DEVELOPMENT. WE JUST LOVE HUTS, STICKS AND STONES MORE!

When you travel around Africa (well outside of South Africa, since we are a mere extension of Europe through Colonialism), you instantly realize just how Africans are content with their tame surroundings.

Surroundings, which of course are characterized by deserts, huts, barren lands, unattended livestock on the highway, unemployed youths, dying, poor and sick mothers/women, dysfunctional and almost invisible men.

Where you do find infrastructure, roads, motor vehicles, clinics, schools and even “entertainment”, that is where you find Whites (foreigners with money), and of course those “elite” Blacks who think they are better than the rest just because they and their parents work for the government.

These Black elites received their education either in South Africa or somewhere in Europe or America, where they return home to “Africa” with nothing else but English twangs, coupled with with no solutions on how to advance and uplift their own people from the Dust to Life.

Like their parents, whose only legacy in these countries was to work or be friends with the dictator who gave them their first job, at the expense of closing their eyes at the level of National Sodomy that most Africans experience in the hands of the own government. They too arrive from Cape Town, shut their eyes, drive their parents Mercedes and work very hard in creating a little Johannesburg for them and their friends who are just as useless as they are.

These are the same Blacks who appear on TV and tell the world in British or American accents that all is well in Lagos or Zimbabwe. That the possibilities in Burundi are so vast, the only problem the country is facing is a legacy of Colonialism, which the people are still imaginatively struggling with.

In Africa, it is very common to find Toyota, KIA, or even Mazda dealerships, even though most of the country’s workforce cannot find jobs to even afford to get a donkey (or at least feed it, since they are always as skinny as they are) to move them from point A to point B.

No one is really concerned about manufacturing these products locally, instead of them being dumped there by (powerful) foreign countries (like China), only to increase the nations debt, since no one can genuinely afford them.

Especially when almost in every African country, the government is the biggest employer (like here in failed South Africa), retrenching hundreds and thousands of employees every year, since there is no viable tax base to sustain the governments mindless, fruitless expenses (hence the heavy reliance on Foreign Aid and China).

The locals on the other hand, always seem very happy that at least the president visits their village, sits down with them, and “listens” to their problems (problems about agricultural land, homosexuals, plots for public housing, and a whole range of issues that involve handouts). And what does this president do?

He leaves, feeling assured that hey! His people are actually mentally base as he has always known (he got his education in London or South Africa). Especially since no one is really concerned about how is it possible that since Independence (1950s, 1960s, etc.) and with the departure of Whites who actually created jobs, built schools, clinics and had the best doctors to cure them; that things became extremely and unforgivably worse at the hands of Educated Black Leaders?

Like little children who were raised to believe that they mean nothing to their fathers (and the world) who abandoned them at birth (a common trait among African men) to create other babies who would also be abandoned; they delight at the fact that at least their president appeared before them and made vain promises about their future.

At least he dared to make a promise. At least now, the self-esteem that’s been shattered by being perpetually ignored, oppressed, impoverished and failed for decades their own Black government, is now restored, even if it is only for a very brief moment.

Indeed it very true - Africans are like little toddlers who need adult supervision (China, USA and Europe) to help them think, choose what is good for them and most importantly, help them decide on what really entails a better future for them and their children.

This is evident in the fact while Colonialism was driven by the racist, erroneous belief (as well as the demonic impulse to oppress those they regarded as inferior, i.e. Africans, Latinos, etc.) that Africans are animals in the jungle, who are in desperate need for Western Civilization, in order to convert them from Beasts into Men.

As soon as Africans received their Independence, and managed to drive out their White Oppressors/Colonizers out of their countries to materialize the African Dream; all they have managed to do was to fulfill the African Nightmare, which was essentially transforming Africa into being the Shithole we now know as Free, Democratic and Independent Africa.

We also see this in the fact that Africans don’t even make the things they consume. Their supermarkets are owned by White South Africans, Chinese and Indians. Even the foods and Dashikis they are so proud of are either made in China or by the Indians they now depend on for their own survival.

All that they seem to have been successful in over the past decades (over 50 years of Independence) is either killing each other even more, imprisoning Black gays and journalists, inciting or rather, actualizing brutal civil/tribal wars, amputating albinos and rhinos. And just impoverishing each other simply because, really, this is the African Thing To Do!

Like crabs in a bucket, all Africans do is pull each other down because none of them even know what it means to go up! Being hungry and oppressed is what we consider to be the Ultimate Good!

Meanwhile, you have Black Americans who come here, seeking a “home”, since back in the US they too are murdering each other in cold blood in their own inner cities (Chicago, Compton, Harlem, etc.). And so, coming “home to Africa” will provide for them that lost self-worth that the White man supposedly snatched away from them (for more than an entire century after Slavery).

Especially when in the US, they constitute 12% of the population, but are responsible for over 50% of the entire country’s homicide; and are gravely responsible for over 90% of all the murders in the Black community.

[So much for Black Lives Matter! They obviously don't in the Black Community!]

Yet when they arrive here in Africa, desperately wanting to believe (as they do back home) that the root causes of the problems which characterize Africa, are caused by Whites who were chased out 50 years ago!

Even when you try very hard to enlighten them on what is pretty obvious, even to Africans themselves (who are mostly ignorant about anything beyond their realm of speciality, which is seeking handouts or being oppressed by their own).

They are still as delusional, and extremely senile as they were when they left the US, where they kept Barack Obama in office for 8 years for doing nothing, but for being a “Black president who can dance and loves basketball”!

[The same way they "adopted" notorious rapist Bill Clinton as "Black" just for playing the saxophone on a Black Television show.]

They do not even realize that when they arrive here, through their ignorance and natural pretentiousness that is honed by Hollywood (their most trusted source of Truth), they resemble the same “Superior” White man they hate so much back home. They too arrive here to “Save and Convert” Africans from their Barbaric ways!

Now, while we all know that real Industrialization, driven by Quality Education (which is still the legacy of Whites/White missionaries in Africa) and Free-market Capitalism (which yields jobs as we see in Singapore, Japan, Germany and even China) is the only solution to Africa’s problems.

Yet, do Africans see these as necessary or even crucial?

Or we prefer being deeply in love with our sticks, stones, and riding donkeys better?!

Perhaps, we, Africans shall answer this question a hundred years from now, when China has finished raping us like our leaders (whom we love and keep in power) have done best since we our “Freedom”.

Alas! Only Africans Can Wake Africa From Her Own Slumber!

Blessings!

AFRICA: A WORLD OF NOTHINGNESS!

AFRICA: A WORLD OF NOTHINGNESS!

If Cape Town (Western Cape) is a giant suburb, graced with leafy trees, glorious beaches, clean roads and freshly cut lawn; and Johannesburg is one big dirty township, where Blacks effectively do anything to exploit, rob, rape and murder one another just to be “successful”.

Then Africa as a whole must be one colossal rural area, where the inhabitants are still stuck in the 1800’s, and are sitting under a tree, waiting for a chief (their president, usually a warmongering, militant dictator or a renowned thief) to provide a plan for a better tomorrow.

This is not only key to their survival. It also forms an inherent part of the African Character.

You can cross the South African border and easily realize that, damn! The people in the Eastern Cape, with all their love for relentless ANC failure and looting that has left that once beautiful province to be the most powerful epitome of Poverty and Suffering in the country; actually have it good!

Especially when millions of Africans leave their Independent countries every year, only to settle in the most Industrialized country in Africa. Why?

Why would Africans leave their home countries, and settle where there is so much “Racism”, “Colonialism”, "White privilege" and "White Monopoly Capital"; only to work or be educated by the White man in Cape Town or East London, if Africans are so adept at developing themselves, without the assistance of the “Evil Caucasian”?

Who in their right minds renders himself to the devil for bread, decent education (when compared with most African countries), clean water, electricity, decent roads, racial/cultural diversity and most importantly, more socio-economic opportunities; when they know that the devil can only offer Hell as a return?

It is because Africans themselves know very well that Africans are the most incompetent, useless, shortsighted species on the planet Earth when it comes to running a country. They are totally incapable of uplifting their own people, and ascending them to the pillars of World Greatness that they deserve the most.

Instead, African “leaders” focus more on self-enrichment (without State power, they wouldn’t even be worthy sherperds. Look at Zuma or Syrupy Cyril or even Egypt), simply because they know that most Africans view this as a legitimate right for a leader. A leader they inherently regard as an autocratic chief, with absolute power.

A chief they cannot dare question, lest they invite the wrath of God, who appointed the chief to lead them as docile sheep in the wilderness.

This is the overall mentality of Africans: They are docile sheep who need a worthless sherperd to lead them, and feed them, because they cannot do it themselves. You see this mentality even when some of these sheep ascend into State power, they cannot govern without Foreign AID (from Europe or the US), and most recently, without China.

Then you wonder why Africans keep the same people who impoverish them, advance their diseases (Africa, the home of HIV/AIDS, Malaria, TB, and many other deadly diseases that are intertwined with Poverty, and Unemployment), kill their babies (like Frere Hospital in the Eastern Cape), rapes their daughters (like in South Africa, the rape capital of the world) and kills their sons and fathers (unending civil wars over State Power which characterize Post Independence in Africa).

Yet throughout all of this, you wonder how and why do Africans manage to become one of the largest consumers of pornography (don’t get shocked at Malusi Gigaba - minister of Home Affairs’ sex tape) in the world, with South Africa being the most porn consuming country in Africa.

While at the same time being one of the most dangerous countries to live in, alongside terrorism-riddled countries like Iraq and Syria. Especially with the natural resources to become the continent that makes everything that the World consumes!

How is it possible that as the second largest continent in the world, we still function as though we have the tiniest brains in the world?

Is it not yet obvious that only Africans can redeem themselves from the Uselessness that they have proven to enjoy the most?

Yet with all of this obvious horror, you still find delusional educated Blacks who have made a fortune (they run NGO’s, sit in high-paying government chairs and blame their failures/looting/uselessness on Race) from importing Black Americans sentiments on Race, just to have a sense of commonality with the World (Black USA/Hollywood) that they have longed to be part of since they were children.

Yet, fail to see that Africans, and their brains which are too attached to slumber, are the main problem in Africa!

[As though they were enslaved like Black Americans. Instead Africans were the ones who sold their own brothers as slaves to Europeans, Arabs and Americans. The same way it is Africans who kill Albinos, call them baboons, amputate them and sell their body parts to witch doctors. The same way Black South Africans rape babies in order to get rid of AIDS.]

Yet, these are these are the same people who supposedly built the Pyramids in Egypt. But, could they have successfully done so without help from “ever-thinking” Jews (their “slaves”)? Who were smart enough to conceive and build (Joseph the Dreamer) such magnificent storage facilities to preserve food in times of famine, while Africans thought it wise to just keep eating.

Just as they still think it wise today to be addicted to government welfare and Foreign Aid, instead of building their own futures!

The real truth about Africa is that, we are still stuck in the 1800’s, and it will take years for us to make it to the 20th century. And it will take more years for us to even dance on the stage of the 21st century.

Is it any wonder that South Africa, a country that became a mere extension of Europe in the 1800’s (through Colonialism/Colonial Project), remains the closest thing to the Global world and indeed the 21st century?

Yet, with evil, criminalist Blacks in Power (ANC), South Africa is leading itself to where most Africans desperately want to leave:

Africa - A World of Nothingness!

If Only Africans Knew How To Wake Up From Their Slumber!

Don't Disturb Me When I'm Playing The Race Card

Don't Disturb Me When I'm Playing The Race Card!

Lo and Behold! It is now finally CLEAR to South Africa and the rest of the World that Racism is just a term that vain Race Gluttons like Ashwin Willemse, Weak Musi Maimane, and the most vile, hateful Black to enter SA politics (Used Greasy Lollipop Head-Julius Malema ) love to throw away whenever they are caught being Stupid.

A quality (being Stupid) that all three boys (ok they're grown men) share and advance with irreplaceable fervor. To the Peril, of course, of Ignorant, Delusional, Misguided and Extremely Racist SA Blacks (especially those with university degrees and government jobs) who are not only incapable of asking real questions when faced with alarming information.

Like the Mental Lepers which they truly are, these Black Race Gluttons cannot even Think on their own. Hence Racism is the only subject that stimulates them intellectually. Simply because it caters to their inherent inability to do anything worthwhile with their lives other than being Proud Victims of Colonialism and Apartheid which they have never endured.

For Race Gluttony reassures them that they are not the Intellectual Zombies they truly are. Which is a Shame indeed.

Yesterday, (Tuesday) SuperSport CEO, Gideon Khobane, announced that their findings have indicated that there was no racism involved in Ashwin Willemse walking out from an live broadcast.

Addressing the media, Khobane said:

“The conduct between Naas and Nick during the off-air conversation with Ashwin and during the live studio broadcast of the post-match commentary of the match does not manifest naked racism and was not motivated by racist considerations.”

Willemse walked off a live broadcast last month after the Lions’ 42-24 win over the Brumbies, whining like a baby devoid of bread milk, that he would not be patronised. And therefore, couldn’t work with Nick Mallett and Naas Botha who played rugby during the Apartheid segregated era.

Khobane added that Willemse did not participate in the inquiry.

“Ashwin Willemse regrettably decided not to participate in the review even though all parties involved were advised of the process before it started and raised no objections at the time.”

Why would he, when he himself knew that HE was WRONG (if not DUMB) and that the White men he accused of being Racists who benefitted from Apartheid were RIGHT?

Why would he want to prove them RIGHT AGAIN and AGAIN prove to the Word that he is just another Dumb Quota Player who thought that by zealously licking the ANC's Racist Behind. He would not emerge as the Biggest Ass (Donkey) to be Quota'd?

One can only Hope that we, SA Blacks who vigilantly see through the Bullshit [sic] would permanently rise and not be afraid.

For if the South African Black community Could be truly Liberated and Healed from our own self - inflicted Mental/Intellectual Leprosy (thanks to our relentless support for the ANC - The Modern Day Nongqawuse). A Prosperous South Africa would cease to be the distant dream that not even the deepest Political Slumber (24 years old sleep) can never us transport to.

Rise Now!

O! You Fragile Black and Apply Your Mind! No Amount of Race Cards will Save you now!

Blessings!

Peace, Unity and more Love!

Marrying The Ghost of White Privilege

Marrying The Ghost of White Privilege

Well, at least Musi Maimane has his Black Privilege intact. He is married to a White woman, is president of a "predominantly White" political party, resides in a White suburb and speaks English (a White man's property).

Yet 'we must fight and destroy this evil, evasive Ghost of White Privilege because it is the primary cause of Poverty, Unemployment, Crime, Looting and the general Despair that has infected all South Africans since 1994'.

'It is also due to White Privilege that millions of Africans leave their "Independent" countries, where they are killed and kept poor but their own Black government'. Despite these countries no longer having White people around, since the darker days of their (country’s) Independence. As we saw in Zimbabwe.

O! The Marvellous Beauty of Black Rule in Africa! Blacks get power and become more Oppressive than the Whites they relentlessly brand as Racists, Colonialists Oppressors.

It is always those who speak the most fluent English who hate Whites, Coloureds and Indians the most. Yet their entire beings are measured, designed and sustained by "Whiteness" and "White" money.

Maybe Musi should chase his own wife back to Europe, as well as renounce his DA presidency because he was and is still supported by White people. His entire salary is paid for by Whites.

He must also stop wearing shiny suits designed in Europe by Whites, relinquish his degrees (since they were handed to him by Whites), and start wearing animal skin - The Black Thing To Do In Africa!

Finally, he must also get the Land and plough the fields in Soweto with his degrees. Since that's the dream job for most educated Blacks - owning farmland.

If Blacks have been in power for 24 years and yet, White Privilege is the main impediment to their progress, then - What have we been doing all these years in Power?

Oh yeah! NOTHING! Besides Looting and Impoverishing Blacks.

Shut your big mouth and lead our Country forward - you weak, fragile loudmouth pretending to be strong. We see through you!

You are just another weak Black manchild with deep identity issues like your heroe Barack Obama or your homeboy Trevor Noah.

While maintaining yourself as yet another Race Pimp, pimping racism and race identity politics to sound "real" to your already useless, clueless, shallow and dismally delusional "Black Caucus".

Hence one day you are pro what is Good (when Black Twitter is not slaughtering you) and at times you prove to be just as bad (if not flacid) as UGLI-JAM (USED GREASY LOLLIPOP HEAD-JULIUS MALEMA) and his blesser, Syrupy Cyril.

You have proven to be utterly useless at bringing our Nation together (which was your most formidable obligation, over and above your ambitions to be another Obama. Hence no one really knows you, or where you really stand. Unless you are echoing someone elses opinion, whom you persobally regard as more powerful or will maximise your base. But a base that is based on a baseless leader is bound to be a permanently baseless base!).

I just wish strong Black leaders like Herman Mashaba could rise and usurp you. You are just another Dingane, pretending to be a Shaka!

Blessings!

IS SOUTH AFRICA'S YOUTH FIT TO GEAR THE WHEELS OF CHANGE?

IS SOUTH AFRICA'S YOUT FIT TO GEAR THE WHEELS OF CHANGE?

Dumisa Mbuwa asks the question and ellaborate.

It is no longer a myth that the progress of South Africa`s youth was never at the forefront of our democracy in 1994. Nor was our youth, genuinely regarded as an instrumental part of the struggle against apartheid.

This reality is becoming evident by the day, despite the several reactional advances by the ANC government to make up for missed opportunities to qualitatively develop the youth of South Africa with the same historical vigour we used when conquering Apartheid.

Thus, as we celebrate Freedom Day, we ought to ask ourselves: has this grand democracy, which was greatly suffered and unimaginably sacrificed for, served our nation's best interests? Or has it merely elevated only those who rightly brought about its realisation by putting them in the government at our expense?

For some time now, there has been a sustained debate around the issue of land expropriation without compensation; how its delay in implementation (full nationalisation) has been regarded as the core impediment for real growth and development our country has needed for 24 years.

This view has been hammered into our minds everyday by embattled politicians that we end up being convinced that it is shared by all South Africans; especially black.

This is despite the fact that it has been proven several times that it is only a very marginal fraction of South Africans who believe that more land reform will indeed bring about the prosperity the country needs.

Comprehensive opinion polls commissioned by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) have repeatedly shown that most black South Africans have little interest in land reform. Their 2016 field survey indicated that only 1% of black respondents (down from 2% the previous year) indicated 'more land reform' as the 'best way to improve lives'.

By contrast, an overwhelming 73% of black people saw 'more jobs and better education' as the 'best way' for them to get ahead.
Conversely, the IRR`s 2017 field survey showed that only 1% of black respondents identified 'speeding up land reform' as a top priority for the government. Even among people who lost land under apartheid laws, and were later compensated, most opted for cash compensation than having actual land restored to them.

Of the roughly 76 000 successful claims in post-apartheid South Africa’s land restitution process which begun in 1994, only about 5 800 chose to have land returned to them. The remaining 92% preferred cash compensation.

Similar results were found from a September 2017 opinion survey by eNCA, carried out among some 5 000 people, including roughly 2 700 self-declared ANC voters. Even here, most South Africans wanted "more pro-business policies", over "more radical policies/redistribution".

This is against the backdrop of the Government`s Land Survey, which has been used both by the ANC and the EFF to advance the misleading notion that SA blacks own less than 2% of rural land; and less than 7% of urban land. While whites own over 72% of farm land.

These claims form the basis of the impending onslaught of property rights, that are currently protected by our country`s Constitution. The same property rights black people were deprived from having by the apartheid government.

It is for this reason, that in response, the IRR published a study early this year, where they have shown and proven that Black South Africans actually own more land than Whites and that the government is the biggest owner of land in the country (46%).

For example, of the 3.2m ha of the urban land owned by 6.2 million individual South Africans, 3.2 million (56%) is owned by Black South Africans. While 1.55 (26%) is White and the rest is divided between Coloured’s (507 829), Indians (414 069) and Others.

Even when you look at the individually owned farmland by whites (the focus of the ANC/EFF`s claims); you will find that a substantial majority of this white-owned land is located in arid or semi-arid areas of the country. 43,1% is located in the Northern Cape alone, 11,3% in the Eastern Cape (most of it in the drier western parts of the province), 10,14% of it in the Western Cape, and 14,1% in the Free State.

The huge overlays that exist between such land and the arid or semi-arid areas in the western part of the country make this land unsuitable for cultivation in the absence of irrigation.

This is in addition to 13,1 million hectares (6,6% of the extent of SA) of agricultural land has been acquired and transferred by the government since 1994 through its land redistribution programme.

Little of this land would be individually owned today as most land claims and redistribution projects had multiple beneficiaries, and furthermore, since 2009, the government has held back from granting title to the beneficiaries of the land redistribution programme. In addition, government has made no effort to ensure those living on their ancestral land in former homeland areas acquire individual title to their land.

Now that we have established how faulty the Land debate is, especially since it is deeply predicated on lies and abysmal political propagandas, instead of viable solutions for taking our country forward, what can help take us forward?

Qualitative education and jobs!

You don`t have to be a social scientist to arrive at the realisation that South Africans need more of these than land. This observation is crystallised by the fact that between 2011 - 2016, over a million South Africans (mostly young) have migrated from "worse-off" provinces such as the Eastern Cape, to "better performing provinces" such as Cape Town and Johannesburg; looking qualitative education and jobs (not land).

Credit must be given to those young people, who in response to poverty and massive unemployment start initiatives that are primarily aimed at tackling these stubborn problems. Particularly aspiring entrepreneurs, who find and establish opportunities where they have been considered to have long expired.

Yet, these individuals are but a very small drop in the ocean of insecurity that affects close to 60% of unemployed young South Africans, almost like unemployed university graduates, who make up 170 000 of the 3.5 million unemployed youth.

What our country needs is comprehensive investment into rigorous and real-income job generating sectors such as manufacturing; where our young people can be able to create what the world consumes. Just as with China, where they make the dashiki`s, doeks, cellphones, tablets, stoves, microwaves and even electric bulbs; that we in turn spend billions of rands in consuming, instead of creating.

While there is a great deal of importance placed on higher university education, (particularly for black students) by the ANC government via "free" university education, internships for graduates. It must always be borne in mind that these endeavours are very meager in comparison to grade 4's who cannot read to understand, many learners still progress into higher grades because teachers are unable to cater to the individual needs of learners due to the size of their classrooms.

These learners eventually dropout mid-high school or fail grade 12.

Of what value is it to spend billions in squeezing learners into universities, when only 20% of them complete their undergraduate programs on time and the rest struggle mainly because of the higher reading levels required at university and the lack of funds to obtain the support and resources to succeed?

Is it not obvious then that we are putting too much emphasis on what uplifts only a few (university education), when the millions of young South Africans could be better off at (currently under-funded) TVET colleges; where they can be trained and placed into employment programs as technicians, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, manufacturers, and many other skills that are needed to rebuild our economy. Government jobs cannot be the fallback, which is currently where most South Africans work.

The simple truth is that not all young people can be doctors, entrepreneurs, lawyers, inventors, scientists, filmmakers or even record producers.

To deny them focus on other avenues which could amplify their talents and serve our country with their output, is to deny the very thing that needs their hands to be sustained - Freedom!

Let us Rise!

Our Future is no longer in the colours of our respective flags and races.

It is on a common need to build a socio-economically free South Africa, where all can live in complete harmony and relish every fruit of her prosperity.
