@DrLimukaniMathe@anthonykila It’s important to prefix “failed broadcaster” or “failed journalist” it’s also important to note that she doesn’t hold any degree in journalism but rather supply chain which she never practiced for a single day
@Sophie_Mokoena U are such a disgusting gutter journalist who thrive on hate why are u not posting the Ministerial response which actually reflects govt position!
Whites don't play; they are dealing with this clownish government of their puppet @CyrilRamaphosa. No single rubber bullet shot. Can you imagine if it was black people?
This is the level of stupidity, my dear brother, that makes black Africans a laughing stock. It is people who peddle this kind of foolishness that make the rest of the world laugh at us.
You have a problem with a Mozambican opening the same business as yours in your community, yet you never ask yourself why that Mozambican’s business is thriving. You never ask why your own people, not Mozambicans, choose to support that business.
You never ask whether that person is legally allowed to operate such a business based on the visa or permits they hold. None of those questions cross your mind. You simply rush to xenophobia and Afrophobia.
You have no problem with British Airways competing with South African Airways inside South Africa. You have no problem with multinational companies coming into South Africa and competing with local businesses. You have no problem with foreign-owned corporations making profits in South Africa.
But the moment someone who looks like you, speaks like you, and may even share the same ethnic roots as you opens a business in your neighbourhood, you become angry.
The only difference is that this competitor looks like you and comes from across an artificial border drawn by colonial powers.
If a South African company owned largely by foreign shareholders opens a shop in your community, you have no issue with it because you do not even understand how ownership structures work.
If I bought controlling shares in a South African company, you would probably still think it is a purely South African business. That is how shallow and uninformed this thinking is.
So you rush to insult and attack people who look like you simply because they look like you. Nothing more, nothing less.
And let us make an educated guess. People like you will now tell me that I should only comment on Zimbabwe because I was born there and hold a Zimbabwean passport.
Yet when Sky News says exactly the same things I say, you have no problem with it because it is a white-owned organisation. When the BBC says the same thing, you have no issue with it either, because it comes from a western country.
That tells us that the problem is not my nationality. The problem is that many Africans have been conditioned to accept criticism and analysis from outsiders, but become hostile when it comes from fellow Africans.
If you have ears to hear, then you already know the point I am making.
Frantz Fanon would have been deeply critical of your kind of thinking. In books such as Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, he argued that colonialism did not only occupy land; it also colonised the minds of the oppressed.
He wrote about what he called the internalisation of colonialism; where the oppressed begin to see themselves and people like themselves as the enemy, while viewing former colonial powers more favourably. He warned that colonial borders and colonial ways of thinking could turn Africans against one another.
He was right, people like you have made his work and predictions come to pass!
