Do you know this residential building?

This is the Ponte City Building in #Johannesburg, Gauteng.

🌇 Floors: 54
🌇 Year built: 1976
🌇 Cost to build: R11 million
🌇 Architect: Manfred Hermer
🌇 Current owner: Kempston Group
🌇 Height: 173m and 185m to the very tip

At a stage, this was the tallest skyscraper in #Africa as well as the first cylindrical one. They say that the signage on top of the building is also one of the largest in #SouthAfrica. Some other fun facts; there was a time where they wanted to create an indoor ski slope in the 3000m2 of retail space on the ground floor. In later years, the building was also potentially going to be converted into a prison.

Egypt is digging a man-made river in the desert to reclaim 2.3 million acres of land, and turn it into agricultural land at a cost of $5.25 billion.

It will make up 30% of fertile land in the country.

It will stretch across 114km, making it the world's longest man-made river.

Every African should read this book. I recently just bought it. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year.

[COMBATE |🇵🇷 @upholdreality]

FIDEL (1986): "The IMF, the financial enforcer of imperialism, strictly demands that Third World countries eliminate fiscal and trade balance deficits, reduce education and health expenditures, eliminate state investments, depreciate the currency, raise the prices of consumer goods and services, suspend restrictions on free imports; in other words, dump the burden of the debt and the crisis on the people, who are already depleted and impoverished.

However, in Washington, only a few blocks away from the headquarters of the IMF, is the White House, the residence of the US Government, which has incurred the most fabulous and incredible fiscal and trade deficits in the history of the world.

There, in such a nearby place, the IMF has never sent a single expert of its own to demand that the fiscal deficit, trade imbalance, protectionism, dumping, high interest rates, dollar manipulation and other infamous and harmful practices for the world economy cease. Nor does it send experts to the countries of the European Economic Community that flood the world with subsidiary agricultural products in unfair competition with the countries of the Third World, with a selfishness that borders on insanity.

The United States is rearming itself with the world's money and the IMF remains silent. The United States lives and spends above its own production, at the expense of the world economy, and the IMF remains silent. Such is the economic order that has been imposed on us."

Patrice Lumumba Last Letter.

He was the first legally elected prime minister of D.R Congo and was assassinated in 1961 following a military coup supported by U.S.A & Belgian imperialism which was admitted by the State Dept in 2013.

My dear wife,

I am writing these words to you, not knowing whether they will ever reach you, or whether I shall be alive when you read them.
Throughout my struggle for the independence of our country I have never doubted the victory of our sacred cause, to which I and my comrades have dedicated all our lives.
But the only thing which we wanted for our country is the right to a worthy life, to dignity without pretence, to independence without restrictions.
This was never the desire of the Belgian colonialists and their Western allies, who received, direct or indirect, open or concealed, support from some highly placed officials of the United Nations, the body upon which we placed all our hope when we appealed to it for help.
They seduced some of our compatriots, bought others and did everything to distort the truth and smear our independence.
What I can say is this—alive or dead, free or in jail—it is not a question of me personally.
The main thing is the Congo, our unhappy people, whose independence is being trampled upon.
That is why they have shut us away in prison and why they keep us far away from the people. But my faith remains indestructible.
I know and feel deep in my heart that sooner or later my people will rid themselves of their internal and external enemies, that they will rise up as one in order to say 'No' to colonialism, to brazen, dying colonialism, in order to win their dignity in a clean land.
We are not alone. Africa, Asia, the free peoples and the peoples fighting for their freedom in all corners of the world will always be side by side with the millions of Congolese who will not give up the struggle while there is even one colonialist or colonialist mercenary in our country.
To my sons, whom I am leaving and whom, perhaps, I shall not see again, I want to say that the future of the Congo is splendid and that I expect from them, as from every Congolese, the fulfilment of the sacred task of restoring our independence and our sovereignty.
Without dignity there is no freedom, without justice there is no dignity and without independence there are no free men.
Cruelty, insults and torture can never force me to ask for mercy, because I prefer to die with head high, with indestructible faith and profound belief in the destiny of our country than to live in humility and renounce the principles which are sacred to me.
The day will come when history will speak. But it will not be the history which will be taught in Brussels, Paris, Washington or the United Nations.
It will be the history which will be taught in the countries which have won freedom from colonialism and its puppets.
Africa will write its own history and in both north and south it will be a history of glory and dignity.
Do not weep for me. I know that my tormented country will be able to defend its freedom and its independence.
Long live the Congo!
Long live Africa!
