Judges are rightfully outraged by counsel citing fictitious cases. We are officers of the court. We don’t cite non-existent cases; we twist real ones into non-existent meanings.
When Ad'jibid'jibi gets to the front of the crowd, she notices "a collection of bodies and heads... The faces seem to have lost all traces of personality.. the anonymous mask of a crowd..."
Oh riotous Ad'jibid'jibi!
In Niakoro's time, Ad'jibid'jibi ran to listen to the men plan a strike.
Today, Ad'jibid'jibi plans the strike herself! And soldiers come. And death. And shooting ...
"As for Niakoro, she was more stunned than hurt. She could not understand how the child could be unaffected..."
"Old Niakoro ... had been worried. ... In her time, young people did nothing without the advice of elders. But now, alone, they are deciding on a strike!"
Oh Sembene! Writing for all ages! Even our troubled current times.

30 years ago today, at the adoption of our historic Constitution, then-Deputy President Thabo Mbeki declared that our Africanness would never be defined by race, colour, or gender. Instead, it is rooted in the truth that all Africans share a common origin and a common destiny. This document, a unique creation of African hands and minds, remains our guiding light toward a society free from fear, oppression, and inequality. South Africa belongs to all who live in it!
