From what I have noticed, not all South Africans are on this ship of Afrophobia. Some have clearly distanced themselves from the shenanigans going on. From my observation, the loudest voices behind it seem to be coming from certain Zulu groups, not South Africans as a whole.
JD Vance:
I have joked that I have two very, very important people in my life.
An Indian and a Pakistani.
The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Munir.
I'm trying to imagine my mother being shown a video of me being beaten by my woman for cheating, while she's asking me, "Kwani hautosheki?"
Then my mother pauses the video, removes her glasses, rewinds it, and watches it again just to confirm that the man receiving "ngundi" like free government fertilizer is indeed her son.
Now imagine my friends visiting me in hospital.
Not because I was robbed.
Not because I was involved in an accident.
But because I was beaten for cheating.
"Pole sana bro."
"How many stitches?"
"One woman or a coalition government?"
The worst part is explaining how I got the injuries.
Doctor: "What happened?"
Me: "Domestic misunderstanding."
Doctor: "Who won?"
Me: "...she did."
At that point even the village elders will refuse to hear my case.
Where will I bury my head?
Not in sand.
Not underground.
I will need a whole quarry to disappear permanently.
I congratulate the University of Ghana’s School of Performing Arts for that masterful reenactment of the transatlantic enslavement at the Osu Castle during the Next Steps Juneteenth commemoration.
Their brilliant performance is receiving wide international acclaim with invitations already pouring in from multiple countries including Barbados, Jamaica and the US.
Really proud of Ghana’s outstanding diverse talents.
May I wish all our hardworking and caring men a Happy Father’s Day.
