African independence is a myth. No African nation is independent today. The colonizers never left.

Ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.

Obama and NATO murdered Colonel Gadaffi because he dared to imagine a free Africa.

A united Africa.

An Africa in charge of her wealth.

And for that, he had to die.

“Comrades, you might think it is very difficult to wage a liberation struggle. Wait until you are in power. I might be dead by then. At that stage, you will realize that it is actually more difficult to keep the power than to wage a liberation war. People will be expecting a lot of services from you. You will have to satisfy the various demands of the masses of our people. In the process, be prepared to learn from other people’s revolutions. Learn from the enemy also. The enemy is not necessarily doing everything wrongly. You may take his right tactics and use them to your advantage. At the same time, avoid repeating the enemy’s mistakes.” - O.R Tambo (1917 - 1993).

China is developed, Japan is developed. You don’t have to copy western values to be civilized. Westernization is not civilization.

Poverty is a product of capitalism. Capitalism needs poor people to survive. There can never be billionaires without poor people.

You only need to get rich once. So you might as well work as hard as you can to get it done as fast as you can.

I’m speaking on hehalf of every South African when I say

We stand with Son of the Soil Julius Malema in these difficult times ….✊🏽

DA leaders sound like average Americans when in comes to geopolitics: simplistic, chronically ignorant & plebeian. You could swear they live in Arkansas!

Most tragically is how they defer their entire thinking on geopolitics to Euro-America: a complete zombification!

Sad story! But also a culture shock if you think about it: a white dominated party under complete intellectual tutelage by western, equally ignorant white masters. Tragedy at its best! No original, autonomous or even critical thinking… ZERO!

When you hear them speak, you really wonder if these people know they are in Africa, global south and post-colonial country! None of these categories, which are grounded in history and reality, inform any of their world view.

[Mbuyiseni Ndlozi @MbuyiseniNdlozi]

This country & society benefits NOTHING with Malema in prison. NOTHING! Not on those charges!

His voice is crucial right inside Parliament. We can’t give way to liberal right-wing forces to dominate. AfriForum must NOT WIN! Ngxa!

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“What are you afraid of losing, when nothing in the world actually belongs to you?”

"When any white man in the world says, give me liberty or give me death, the entire white world applauds. When a Black man says exactly the same thing, he is judged a criminal and treated like one."

Colonialism never ended. When the colonial powers were leaving Africa, they handed over to their agents. We have no leaders in Africa, we only have colonial caretakers.
