@davido Haibo. African Union ga e gona? Do we need western governments to preside over our affairs? I understand the sensitivity of elections across Africa, but surely governments like ours 🇿🇦, Botswana etc can assist. Unless I'm out of touch.

Open Letter to CIC , @Julius_S_Malema ✊🏾🙏

Commander Malema,

Leadership is a heavy coat. The closer you stand to the fire of a people’s hopes, the more you feel the burn. Your sentence, whatever its shape, is part of that weight. Wear it, but do not let it bend your spine. The spirit that brought you here cannot be jailed, adjourned, or silenced. If it dies, it will not be because of a courtroom or a critic. It will be because you let it. Millions of people carry your spirit, they believe in you and their actions have proven to love you. 

Remember Thomas Sankara. He was 33 when he took Burkina Faso and renamed not just a country, but its purpose. He told his people to stand upright, to refuse debt that enslaved them, to plant trees and dignity in the same soil. He was murdered at 37. But the idea of Sankara outlived the bullets. Why? Because he understood that a leader’s job is not to be safe. It is to be useful, even when it costs.

Remember Kwame Nkrumah, who faced exile and died far from the Ghana he birthed. Remember Patrice Lumumba, who was given 60 days as prime minister before the world decided he was too dangerous to live. Remember Steve Biko, who wrote that the most potent weapon is the mind of the oppressed, and paid for that sentence with his life at 30. None of them were permitted to finish. Yet all of them are still speaking through us! 

Your sentence, then, is not the end of the book. It is a paragraph. The question is whether the next chapter is written by you, or about you.

The weight of a leader will be great. It must be. If it feels light, you are not carrying enough of your people’s burdens. But weight is not the same as defeat. Sankara rode a bicycle to cabinet meetings because he believed leaders should not eat while the people starve. Nyerere retired to a village and taught by example. They carried the weight without letting it crush the spirit. That is the test.

So take stock, not pity. Discipline the anger. Sharpen the vision. Africa does not need another martyr right now. It needs builders who can take a blow, stand, and keep laying brick. Speak for the landless, yes. But also show them the plan for when the land is theirs. Chant in parliament, yes. But also govern in the mind, with numbers, with ethics, with detail. The people will forgive a leader who stumbles. They will not follow a leader who has no road.

This is not flattery. You will be attacked, betrayed, misquoted, and tempted. I can say this because I know! I have sat in a court room and I know the coldness the soul fights. But we do not fight the system with our words alone, we fight with our spirit! Some days the sentence will feel like a noose. On those days, remember: Sankara had four years. Lumumba had two months. Biko never got to govern at all. You are still here. Use the breath.

The spirit must live on! 

🙏✊🏾

Do the same with Nigeria. South Africa has no business giving Nigerians a 90 day visitor VISA. They use it to settle illegally in SA & establish all kinds of criminal syndicates. There is no single benefit of having scores of Nigerian men in SA. Withdraw their 90 day VISA🚮🚮

[@SAgovnews @SAgovnews]

The Department of Home Affairs has withdrawn South Africa’s 90-day visa exemption for Palestinian ordinary passport holders, following investigations that found the provision was being deliberately abused by Israeli-linked actors involved in “voluntary emigration” efforts for Gaza residents. https://t.co/RA7dsPRH3e

Hi @MojaLoveTv here is a pitch for a docuseries “Still We Carry the Wounds”. It uncovers untold apartheid atrocities through families still living with the trauma. Like Ufelani it uses reenactments to bring buried stories to life. We can’t heal without truth.
