Julius Malema and the Boer

The best time of the year is around the corner for me. I am on vacation until the very beginning of august and shall spend most of it in South Africa enjoying the world cup. It is gonna be a great experience. I personally do not like the reasons that have been used to host the world cup in South Africa.

I know that Nelson Mandela fought for the country to be awarded the opportunity. He is a strong believer of reconciliation through sports. I give him a credit for the that but the racist structures and instituitions of Apartheid remain intact 16 years after the end of political apartheid.

There is no doubt that sport in general and football in particular can have a positive ramification on peoples' lives but South Africa has other priorities than building huge stadiums for millions of dollars.

You do not have to be a genius to understand that the world cup does not creat a miracle in a country where millions of people are suffering from AIDS and poverty. Temporry jobs are not gonna solve the deep-rooted injustice in the racist system of apartheid. What South Africa needs is a radical change which gives economical empowerment to the majority blacks who are still lagging behind the whites in all aspects of life standard.

FIFA, Coca-cola, Mccdonalds and other big multinational companies are of course profiting beause of the world cup as never before whereas the grassroot people can not even make ends meet. I am not sure if I would grasp the BOER mindset but I look forward to socializing with people from all walks of life and creed. I hope to interview the controvercial ANC youth leader Julius Malama who has a strong opinion about the Boer. He has said: a good Boer is a dead Boer.

The Pan-Africanist!

The horn of Africa is part and parcel of Africa. The time for division and dismemberance is over. The pan-African sprit should be the order of the day. The colonial masters and their bloody borders are not sacred. Africa for the Africans. Leave us alone. Babylone!!!

The zion train is destined to emanicipate the ignorant from mental slavery. Nation - state is a European project with no relevence to the African reality which demands a home - made solution. I am sick and tired of the western media and establishment which continues to perpetuate the stereotyping of Africans.

The oil, diamonds and all the natural resources are not for sale to enrich the already rich ones. Africans have the right to be the masters of their own dstiny by any means necessary.
