"AFRICANS ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY. COLONIALISM IS."
Julius Malema, leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and one of South Africa's most influential political figures, delivered a passionate defence of African unity at the University of Limpopo, arguing that colonialism, rather than fellow Africans, is the root cause of many of South Africa's and the continent's economic challenges.
Malema's words are pertinent considering the rise of Afrophobia and anti-African attacks in South Africa that have seen locals violently targeting African migrants and business owners across the country.
Speaking about migration, labour, and South Africa's history, Malema rejected the idea that African migrants are responsible for the country's economic problems. Instead, he argued that Southern Africa's economy was built collectively by workers from across Africa, many of whom were exploited during the colonial era under British imperialist Cecil John Rhodes.
Malema pointed to the history of Fanagalo, a pidgin language that developed in Southern African mines among workers from different ethnic backgrounds, as evidence that Africans from countries including South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique have long contributed together to the region's economy.
The club obviously doesn't care. It's been in bed with Axa and Standard Chartered for years. The most financially complicit club in the PL when it comes to funding that terrorist state as it commits the crime of crimes. Supporters trust never even calls out our partnerships.
Those who have travelled around the African continent will know that there are many Capitals where a crime of this nature is simply unheard of. Go to Port Louis, Gaborone, Lusaka, Windhoek, Accra and even Kigali, you will never hear that thugs ended a citizen’s life to steal his phone in a city suburb at 8pm using a paver. There is something wrong about us under despot Museveni.
A 27-year-old, injury-prone, error-prone CB whose career has been declining for years. On top of that, he chose to visit the Zionist state during the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians. What a horrendous signing. Fuck off, Hughes!
No. Chris Baryomunsi may be the Health Minister, but that does not give him the right to visit a patient who does not want to see him.
Nor does he have the right to publicly comment on a patient’s health condition without that patient’s consent.
In his eagerness to serve his master, Baryomunsi seems willing to dispense with medical ethics, patient privacy and basic respect for others.
A minister is not above a patient’s rights.
Bro he quit Barca mid season to go to “Israel” for a spiritual trip to “find himself”…..there needs to be sackings and fines handed out to whoever sanctioned this move.
Today, after Minister Chris Baryomunsi visited, everything changed.
An order came to remove @kizzabesigye1 from Mulago and return him to Luzira, against the recommendation we had heard from the prisons official and while he remains unable to care for himself.
Who gave this order, and why was medical judgment overridden?
Taking a helpless patient from where he can receive rehabilitation and family assistance, and returning him to a prison that cannot support his condition, is cruel.
Dr Kizza Besigye has a right to health, dignity and proper medical care. His life and health must not be put at risk.
We are heartbroken!

Sometimes “locking in” looks like sitting in the sun and remembering that your life is also meant to be lived, not just optimized, monetized, and turned into proof that you’re worthy.
As usual, an imperial outpost twerking for its masters.
The statue of Netanyanhu was not enough, now my country-men are being sent to further oppress the poor chaps in Gaza. Grow a freaking spine Uganda. (Impossible with this torture-happy herdsmen in charge though)
he was raised to see “good women” as pure and “bad women” as sexual. So when he loves a woman, he pedestalizes her. When he desires a woman, he dehumanizes her. His brain can’t merge respect and desire because no one taught him that a whole woman holds both.
The only problem I have with you guys is the impulsive reaction you apply to serious issues. If you checked road traffic data, you can tell which vehicles cause most accidents, which spots/roads have the most fatalities etc etc. Why don't you use this data for road safety?
Life could be SO damn easy. Half the food goes to waste, enough clothes for six generations rotting in storage, ancestors already broke their bodies building this shit. Instead we suffer while 8 men control half the world’s wealth. Make it make sense.
