This is Phila Ndwandwe. In 1985, Phila was 🇿🇦 recruited into the ANC. She became an MK fighter. 3 years later, she was abducted in Swaziland by Apartheid police. She suffered unspeakable horror and was torturęd, in an effort to turn her into an informer. One always gets the sense that the fight against Apartheid was a masculine one. To a certain extent we can not fault people for thinking that it is only men, through the sacrifice of their bodies who liberated this country, because somehow history chooses to ignore the women who fought alongside glorified men.
Phila Ndwandwe was breąstfeeding, when she was abducted (A makarov in one hand and a baby in the other). Aaah! Mbokodo! Her family was made to believe that she had eloped to Tanzania when the shaIIow grave of their child was a mere 10 kilometers from where they lived. Her d.eath and grave came to be known when her k.iller asked for amnesty for her brutal m.urder. Her k.illers testified before the TRC that she was repeatedly b.eaten and kept naked for 10 days until she made herself a pair of panties using a plastic bag. When they realized they weren't going to get the Commander to b.etray her comrades, her k.illers blindfolded her, took her to a veld and shot her in the s.kull. When her remains were unearthed, the bullet hole in her skuII was clearly visible, and her killęr testified that she had been https://t.co/ACkPRqMp6P while kneeling. Other articles have suggested that she was hit over the head and https://t.co/ACkPRqMp6P while unconscious. One of the men who m.urdered Phila described her as "Brave. Very brave. "
let's celebrate Phila. Her selfless dedication to the emancipation of our people should not be undermined. It should not be forgotten! One can only hope that her targeted body is dancing free and light. This is Phila Ndwandwe- the woman who refused to betray her comrades.

A recent book is making waves by claiming that nearly $600 billion was taken from Black Americans through questionable tax practices in the years following slavery.
The book, The Black Tax, by historian Andrew W. Kahrl, argues that unjust tax policies were a huge factor in preventing Black people from building wealth after slavery ended. From inflated property tax assessments to hidden fees that led to land seizures, these laws took away opportunities for Black families to thrive, forcing them into poverty and stripping away land that could’ve been passed down for generations.
The nearly $600 billion figure is an estimate of what Black families lost through these unfair practices, money that could’ve helped close the racial wealth gap. The book not only uncovers this hidden history but also calls for reforms to help address these historical injustices. For those wondering how these practices are still impacting Black Americans today, this book sheds much-needed light on a deep-seated issue that continues to affect generations.
Easter reminds me of Lakota leader Spotted Tail being asked if he knew about Jesus—“I’ve heard all about him, how good he was, the great things he did. I also heard how the White man killed him. We never would’ve done that—we never would have murdered the Son of the Great Spirit”
