Some years ago, a childhood friend of mine was fatally stabbed well after sunrise while on his way back from a nearby shopping centre, where he had gone to withdraw cash for his sibling’s taxi fare.

We live in a relatively safe neighbourhood in the South African context. He was in significantly better shape than the average man. An imposing figure. His family never thought a quick run to the ATM would result in tragedy. Yet it did.

I am in the market for a new car and I’m not a car guy… yet a major consideration in my process, which may result in me not buying the car I want and can afford is… how likely I am to get shot in the head by a hijacker for this model/these parts.

Being male didn’t save my friend. It didn’t save the 4000+ South African men murdered in this country this year alone. And it doesn’t save me from the reality of having to be vigilant when living in a crime ridden country.

The crypto bill everyone's waiting for is stalled because of the dumbest reason imaginable
Banks: "If people can earn 4% on stablecoins, our entire business model collapses"
Crypto: "Cool, so let's compete then"
Banks: "No we're blocking the bill"
White House scheduled a meeting to fix this by end of month
The compromise: Crypto drops yield on idle coins but keeps DeFi rewards
Banks still aren't happy
Meanwhile you're getting 0.01% in your savings account and they're acting like YOU'RE the problem

The state has commercialised EVERYTHING😭

Healthcare? Private medical aid.
Education? Private schools and tutors.
Transport? Uber, Bolt, private buses.
Security? Armed response.
Electricity? Inverters and solar.
Water? JoJo tanks.
Even refuse removal is becoming a side hustle now

Our state can’t pride itself on providing anything except SONA and SOPA speeches and press statements.

Citizens are paying taxes and paying again privately just to survive . We’re basically living in a country where government is a motivational speaker, not a service provider. It may sound funny… but also very painful 🇿🇦💔

I grew up adoring Mahatma Gandhi. I don't know what bullshit they taught in school that influenced that adoration.

Then, I picked up books.

That guy was a racist piece of garbage - absolutely detested Africans.

One of his life goals was to see a world where, he didn't mind Indians inferior to the whites as long as they were classified superior to Africans.

One of the first "fights" he fought on landing South Africa was the enforcement of two separate entrance doors for whites and Africans.

Please pick up history books. It will shock you the amount of reinforced revision we were forced to ingest as children.

Just be open minded, be malleable - because you'll find punctured holes in the very religion, tribe and ideologies you adore.

Fuck Mahatma Gandhi.

Dad buys stock at $50K.

It grows to $5M.

If he sells, he owes tax on a $4.95M gain.

Instead, he puts it in a trust.

Borrows against it.

Lives tax-free.

Dies holding.

Kids inherit at a $5M basis.

IRS gets $0.

Helen Zille was the Mayor of Cape Town and a powerful political figure in South African politics. Her father, Heinrich (Henry) Zille, was from Germany, and her mother, Gisela Zille, was also German.
Jolidee Matongo was the Mayor of Johannesburg before his untimely death in a car accident. His father, Edward Matongo, was from Zimbabwe, while his mother was South African.

Yet the treatment of these two political leaders reveals the deep scars of ignorance induced by colonialism. Matongo was viciously hounded by xenophobes and Afrophobes, mocked with the demeaning label “Kwere-Kwere,” and dismissed as a foreigner, despite being born and raised in South Africa and having a South African mother.
By contrast, Helen Zille, with both parents born abroad in Europe, has never been subjected to the same ugly and sickening attacks by vigilante groups like Dudula.

This contradiction exposes how colonial conditioning taught Africans to despise and distrust fellow Africans, while embracing Europeans as legitimate, even when they too are children of immigrants.
It is a tragic testament to the mental slavery left behind by colonialism, Africans turning on one another while giving a free pass to descendants of Europe.

Until this colonial mentality is unlearned, Afrophobia will continue to undermine African progress and the very idea of mental liberation.

But as I always say, my mother used to remind me that stupid people do not know that they are stupid. That is why it will take enormous effort and time to unlearn these colonial-induced, sickening, and ugly thoughts that were planted in the minds of Africans, the idea that another African is a stranger, that the neighbour from the next village is an outsider.

In this case, Jolidee Matongo was not even a stranger. He was South African, born and raised in South Africa, with a South African mother. Yet he was insulted and degraded by fellow black people, branded as a foreigner simply because his father was from Zimbabwe, a neighbouring African country. Meanwhile, the same voices never extend such venom to Helen Zille, whose parents were both German, not even born in South Africa, and not African at all.

This is the cruel irony of colonial indoctrination. Africans are conditioned to reject one another, to turn their anger and prejudice against their own kind, while embracing Europeans without question.
Matongo was African through and through, with roots in both South Africa and Zimbabwe, yet he was vilified, while Zille was accepted. This double standard is not just hypocrisy, it is the poisonous legacy of colonialism still at work in the African mind.

Both Matongo and Zille are South Africans and should be treated as such, but Matongo was denied that recognition simply because of his black skin. He was harassed and haunted until his death by black South Africans, not by white South Africans. That is what is called self-hate.
