@Its_Khaya_@SiphoSama_Delwa This is all wrong .. why are they screaming? Men trying to make her feel bad about her dress code! Is it appropriate that they should be given her ? All I hear is rapists making noise.. wishing there was no one so the they can violate her.
The news of the passing of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o are sad and heartbreaking. He was Africa’s greatest literary pen and a worrier for indigenous African languages. He fought so hard to defend our languages as an integral part of our humanity. Perhaps it is because of this that the west rejected his greatness.
He should have received the Nobel Prize for Literature for The Devil on The Cross already in 1980s. But Europe still conspired to put his ideas on the cross, denying their genius and power.
He wrote on The Devil on the Cross;
“Our lives are a battlefield on which is fought a continuous war between the forces that are pledged to confirm our humanity and those determined to dismantle it; those who strive to build a protective wall around it, and those who wish to pull it down; those who seek to mold it, and those committed to breaking it up; those whose aim is to open our eyes, to make us see the light and look to tomorrow […] and those who wish to lull us into closing our eyes.”
In Decolonising the Mind, he reminded all of us that “Imperialism and its comprador alliances in Africa can never develop the continent.” Asking us to disabuse ourselves of all attempts to mimic the west. Those who want to copy Europe, may as well allow Europeans to run our continent. In his determination, our path to development starts in dispensing with intellectual dependency on imperialist forces and expectation that Europe has our best interest!
His work and life represented a struggle against the post-colonial condition: the oppression Africans suffer from the post-colonial potentates. This post-colonial Africa painted with actions of African elites who drive self interest, with greed, violence and let it be said, laziness, is what Ngugi leaves behind. An Africa that confront all us and faces yet another possibility of dismemberment by the imperialist forces who have become more advanced than the ones who scrambled Africa at the late 1884 Berlin Conference.
Rest in Power Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o
The baobab tree has fallen: Literature giant, intellectual thinker and award winning author, Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o, is no more. He passed away this morning in Atlanta, USA at the age of 87. #RIPNgũgĩ✊🏿

WATCH: Here is the video of King Misuzulu KaZwelithini clarifying that the woman who tried to storm the VIP section during the unveiling of King Shaka statue is not his girlfriend.
The Zulu King alleged that the woman is being used by those who want to oust him from the throne.
Yhooo!!
These ladies have crossed every single line and boundary you can think off…the fact that they chose to donate to #Lesego and march to the police station is not enough for them to interrogate her every step she takes. This is so rude, I’m glad she left that TOXIC GROUP.
