Miriam Makeba was a revolutionary:
"The conqueror writes history. They came, they conquered, and they wrote. Now you don't expect people who came to invade us to write the truth about us." (1969)

Viola Fletcher was 7 when a white mob destroyed her all-Black neighborhood in Tulsa and killed 300 Black people.

100 years later, she and other survivors are still demanding justice.

An appreciation tweet to @LandNoli. She has been consistent on her ethical reporting.

She doesn't create narratives. She highlights critical & controversial moments through a clip & then provides a full video. Let's take her account to 200k, please follow & refer to a friend.

Four centuries ago in Bolobedu, a Northern Sotho region in present day Limpopo, lived King Mugodo. Mugodo was adamant in eliminating the symbolic power of patriarchy and remapping our understanding of gender dynamics. He instituted an exclusively matrilineal line of succession.

Those who believe in this "Nguni" nonsense need to investigate clan system or read credible documents on how that "identity" was invented by the colonists

Heres John Wright explaining it from African writers and izimbongi from early 1800s.

They tried discrediting our mother and VC of UCT Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng, they’re now busy with a campaign against UNISA VC Prof Puleng LenkaBula. Black Women you’re on your own. Being led by resilient and strong black woman gives people nightmares 💔

@pinkykhoabane Deepest condolences to you and your family. May his soul rest in peace 🙏🏾

The numbers today are proof that South Africa's real epidemic is POVERTY,

Poverty is on wave 107 since Natives Land Act of 1913

💔 7.2 million people in SA are unemployed.

💔 2.9 million people in SA have given up, they are hopeless and have stopped looking for jobs.

💔 💔 14.1 million people in SA are sitting at home not doing anything (No work, not studying, not self-employed)

We make an observation in today’s @SundayIndy that “South Africa does not have a single massive manufacturing industry that creates jobs and produces globally consumed goods and products in the same way Japan has Toyota and Nissan, and South Korea has LG and Samsung Electronics”.

Compiling the story of Boniswa Ncukana has really been painful. In our series Women Forgotten In The Shadow of History, this cadre, freedom fighter, unionist, journalist, has been forgotten. Thanks @MyPAConline @LetlapaMphahlel & @NkululekoSomhl1 for help https://t.co/ZsCm2ARkfV

As kids we were told to go to school to be able to get any job we want and be successful. We were told education is the key to success. We did that only to be told there's no jobs. We're probably the most educated generation but we have the least of opportunities. Very saddening.

Its amazing that there's technology for close-up pictures of the sun which is over 140 million kilometres away but we still struggle with clear pictures of criminals on earth who are less than 2m away from CCTV

Eskom wants to make solar panel owners pay an electricity fee. SABC wants TV licence fees for laptops, DStv decoders and Netflix. You see what happens when old people think of ideas? They think of kak.
