Today, in 1977 they killed Steve Biko, cowards of the apartheid system, because they hated his mind. He was a proud black man, with an independent mind… he had written in one of is essays, that "The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."
Let us ask, where is your mind? For freedom is first and foremost this insistence to be responsible for our mind. To insist on our ideas. Insist on thinking for ourselves. Africa, where is your mind?
When our leaders, in order to resolve African conflicts, chose to travel to Doha, under Trump tutelage, one must ask, where is our mind? When Africa is so rich a continent with mineral resources for the industrial technologies that define the entirety of modernity, and yet remains trapped in underdevelopment, disease and poverty, we must ask, where is our mind? What our there in Africa, tell us, that we have disarticulated our minds from the tentacles of the oppressor? Where we cannot think without the tutelage of a white man?
When a leader whose community suffered lack of water, sanitation, and electricity takes this community’s money for self enrichment… we must ask, where is our mind? When political leaders cohabit, fraternise and collaborate with criminal and gangster cartels to loot the state, kill whistle blowers and bribe judges, we must ask, where is our mind? What kind of people are these, whose entire being is enslaved by greed, selfishness, conspicuous consumerism, and egotistical insatiable desire for fame… where is their mind? When they think so desperately through their stomachs?
It is with this background that Steve’s injection remains ever more relevant today, that the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. This already means the oppressor no longer needs physical violence to subjugate you, no. You conduct yourself in the internet of the oppressors’ superiority! That is what signifies the fact that your mind is in their hands, and not yours.
President @CyrilRamaphosa should immediately suspend Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu, and implicated police officers.
The allegations made by KZN Commissioner, Lt.Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi are damning.
The criminal justice system has again been badly comprised.
With crime levels as high as they are and organised crime syndicates thriving, we cannot allow this nonsense.
The police are in a mess!
The President should also appoint an independent commission of inquiry without delay to get to the bottom of this once and for all.
RT if you agree.
