"SOMETHING in me died, a piece of me died, with the dying of Sophiatown in the winter of 1958. It was Monday morning, the first working day away from work; exactly seven days before I had resigned my job as a journalist on Golden City Post, the Johannesburg weekly tabloid for the locations. I was a free man, but the salt of the bitterness was still in my mouth; the quarrel with Hank Margolies, the assistant editor, the whiteman-boss confrontation, the letter of resignation — these things became interposed with the horror of the destruction of Sophiatown. I was a stranger walking the streets of blitzed Sophiatown, and although the Western Areas removal scheme had been a reality dating back some two years, I had not become fully conscious of it." - Bloke Modisane (1923 - 1986), Blame Me On History

This video never gets old. The PASSION. A powerful conversation.

"Has Nigeria spilled blood or dropped an atomic bomb in Nagasaki or Hiroshima? You should be quiet when it comes to Moral condemnation. America should be quiet".

He had to apologize at the end for speaking the truth too raw and bluntly.

Zonk! is a 1950 South African musical revue film directed by Hyman Kirstein. It holds historical significance as one of the first films to feature an all-Black South African cast performing in a style that blended American jazz, Broadway-style revue, and local township musical traditions.

Why is it that Nigerian food is only considered appealing once it’s been shrunk, stripped of its soul, and plated with tweezers?

In this video, I argue that we don’t have to dilute our cuisine to export it.

But we’re telling it to the world on TV and online

The crew of the Gaza Sunbird! 🇵🇸🛥️

Even if the boats never reach Gaza, their impact is undeniable. Hundreds of activists have been arrested after being forcibly taken by Israel in international waters but the Gaza Sunbird continues to sail, a symbol of resistance and solidarity.

If Andre de Ruyter had done half of what Dan Marokane has done in Eskom, he would be called Mr Fix-it. Instead Dan’s efforts are overlooked attributing Eskom turnaround to private sector or a miracle. Bigotry continues to cloud judgement of some people. What a shame. #Eskom
