Musing from De Progressive Social Provocateur in Chief

Winnie Mandela once said the following:- "The years of imprisonment hardened me.... Perhaps if you have been given a moment to hold back and wait for the next blow, your emotions wouldn't be blunted as they have been in my case. When it happens every day of your life, when that pain becomes a way of life, I no longer have the emotion of fear. ... there is no longer anything I can fear. There is nothing the government has not done to me. There isn't any pain I haven't known."

          Unfortunately , that extremely rich country , has degenerated to a very sad state ,of economic decay,political backwardness, epic  violence, and social regression,as no one could have imagined, some  2 decades ago. Having being in the belly of the beast , and seen the ugliness up close , I as your 'social provocateur in chief ,'is forced to say the following, as well.
        It's a pity that the good lady was given such a raw deal by the enemies of the people. One can only imagine how far South Afrika , would have advance , had she been at the side of the great Afrikan freedom fighter Madeba, as opposed to the numerous , self serving stooges , appears , and cowards he was cursed with. It is the people's loss. Today , Afrikans in that country , are 50 times worst off, than they were , anytime during the most atrocious period of the , western European, and American supported,racist Apartheid period.

Of course , you know you are in problem , when the beneficiaries of historical injustices, and now turning on each other.

Arise oh Afrika, as your  globally dispersed children needs you. A sick Afrika , make for a sick Planet!
