Joshua Maponga: Democracy Was Imposed On Africa By The West To Serve Western Capitalism
On June 3, 2026, The Spearhead premiered its debut documentary, ‘What Happened On October 29?’, at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, a documentary which challenges the Western narrative about the violent, anti-government protests that rocked Tanzania in October 2025, offering an African-centered perspective on these “protests”, and exposing the nefarious, external forces behind them. This East African premiere came 8 days after the documentary’s West African premiere, which was held in Accra, Ghana.
In this excerpt from a panel discussion held immediately after the Dar es Salaam screening, Zimbabwean author and philosopher, @vudzijenaj – who was a special guest at the screening – comments on the phenomenon of democracy in Africa, and how what Africans are raised today to call “democracy” is just colonialism with extra steps.
Why Ghana’s Refinery Restart Matters for Africa
Nigeria supplying crude to Ghana shows what South-South cooperation can look like in practice. African countries trading more with each other, sharing resources, building industries, and keeping more value on the continent.
Ghana’s Tema Oil Refinery project is a reminder that the continent has the capacity to build stronger regional supply chains on its own terms.
PHARMACIST: GMO WILL RUIN AFRICAN COCOA
The Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa reports that Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana produce 46 per cent of the world’s cocoa. However, how will crop yields fare with the Ghanaian government allowing CRISPR generated cocoa trees to enter its farmlands? US pharmacist Layne Kilpatrick raises the question.
So tell us: Is it a good idea to introduce genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to African countries? Let us know in the comments.
Don’t forget to follow us for more compelling stories from the continent.
The documentary that has had the very worst people on the entire continent of Africa hollering like dogs since the trailer came out 2 weeks ago.
Available here in full:
Africa is underdeveloped because:
1) Every nationalistic leader was murdered, and the current leaders are obedient puppets to the Western hegemonies.
2) Western companies continue to steal resources.
3) They continue to fund coups/instabilities, preventing any chance of peace, which would have instigated development.
I’ve lived long enough to testify that:
*Democracy does not work in Africa.
*Foreign education has mentally crippled our people.
*Foreign media actively promotes hatred and division among us.
And that list goes on.

There Was Nothing Democratic About The Colonial System – Chinua Achebe
In this interview with American journalist Bill Moyers (1934 – 2025), aired on September 29, 1988, renowned Nigerian author Chinua Achebe (1930 – 2013) aptly exposes a clear contradiction between the West’s criticisms of the state of democracy in Africa, and the notably undemocratic colonial system with which it ruled over the continent with an iron fist for over 400 years.
Achebe’s words remain relevant today, as the West continues to endlessly lecture Africans about “democracy” and “human rights”, while trampling on the human rights of its own citizens, and funding g*nocidal regimes across the globe.
Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans
Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.
They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.
So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.
