Oh Afrika!! Why are you still not economically liberated from colonisation?
Yet our liberation forces of yesteryear's fought wars to liberate you.
The demand for independence was preempted at the Berlin conference. The wicked ones had backup plans in place on what to do when such an occurrence presents itself.
A psychological warfare was therefore engineered against Afrikans. Clearly our independence is nothing but an illusion. An opium of the mind. I often wonder why are we really celebrating this phantom independence across the continent.
The Caucasians couldn't just dish out the Afrikan liberation just like that without a backup plan. Lets face reality, Afrika is the biggest continent on the face of the earth. And a united Afrika is by all means a major thread to the Caucasian population. That is not rock science.
If anyone disputes that fact, then ask yourself this, why did the colonialists surrender political power and retain economic power over Afrika? Clearly to ensure that you still maintain full control over Afrika. So technically Afrika is still under colonial rule.
It is therefore not surprising why all charismatic Pan Afrikan leaders who rose with zeal to unite Afrika were exterminated by the West. For instance Patrice Emery Lumumba, Malcolm X, Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara, Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey, Bantu Steve Biko, Haili Sailessie and the list goes on. Their vigorous patronage of uniting Afrika got them exterminated from the face of the earth before their time.
While people in general have succumbed to the myth that Afrika is a hopeless continent and it will never rise again. Well clearly their perception of reality is an elaborate of Caucasian deception that was deliberately created through the Caucasian's societal social engineering.
Hence their absurd fallacious agreement that Afrika is a dark continent. They cannot even see that the Caucasians are either keeping Afrikans in diaspora especially Afrikan Americans away from Afrika or driving Afrikans out of Afrika.
Yet the very Caucasians who declared Afrika as the hopeless continent, they themselves cannot keep away from the so-called hopeless continent. What is it that these Caucasians are seeing in Afrika that everyone else cannot see. Afrikans all over the world wake up, can't you see that the intentions of Caucasians is to make sure that the oppressed are perpetually misled and manipulated.
Its time Afrikans we unite and rebuild our country Afrika. I'm saying country because I refuse to give recognition to these colonial States that were formulated without our concern.
Its time to correct the ills and wickedness of the Caucasians. For how long are we going to allow these people to negatively distort our perception of reality. They have absurdly robbed us our livelihood for centuries. And sadly they are still doing so.
In the book, Mkhonto Wesizwe - Fighting for a divided people by Thula Bophela, one Caucasian by the name of Ron Peters a superintendent, openly gave a definitive explanation on steps they took to ensure that Afrikans do not succeed irrespective of having gained political power.
He further went on to say that he will make Mr Bophela and perhaps Afrikans in general, to understand Caucasians better and the kind of problem we as Afrikans have to deal with. "If you think you have won, think again", " Yes I will give it to you, you guys are a bunch of good fighters and perhaps you could beat us on number, but you can't win". Said Ron Peters. You could hear from the tone of voice from this man that he was talking with great conviction.
He was for instance, glowing when he was emphasising the fact that they had to make sure that the oppressed are perpetually misled and manipulated. This is the problem Ron Peters is referring to, particularly where he arrogantly said that when they placed their flag in 1877, at the place where they build Salisbury (Harare) they new that a day will come where Afrikans will claim back their land and all they had to do is change all the locks and ensure that the rightful owner is locked out.
They are literally still controlling Afrika from Europe. All the financial control systems of Afrika is in their hands. All we have is an empty political power that everyone is busy fighting over. As Afrikans we are busy killing each other rather than consolidating power and all the resources within Afrika. Wake up Afrika. Its not yet Uhuru. Its time we go for the second pillar of the struggle, that is the economic struggle.
Until Afrika is economically emancipated Afrika will never be free. Let everyone know that the colonial economic bondage is still in full force in Afrika and the sting of poverty is sharper than ever.
Our natural resources are still controlled by the Caucasians. For instance all the stock exchange are controlled in Europe where they determine the value of our natural resources including agriculture. The seller in Afrika is perpetually denied the benefit of his hard labour. That was deliberate and that is exactly what is meant by locking out the rightful owner, while the illegal one is enjoying the benefits of Afrikan resources. China was once the poorest nation few years ago. They also rose through the riches of Afrika, just like Europe and America. Yet Afrika is the darkest continent.
Afrikans, I think its time we build a wall around Afrika and lockout everyone who is anti Afrika. Trust me the day we do that dollar and Euro will totally collapse. However before we do that, Europe and America its time for reparations. The $14 trillion plus owed to Afrika must first be paid. We also call upon all the Afrikan descendants to come back to motherland Afrika. Its time to fix and rid Afrika of this corrupt elements who are aiding the objectives of the white supremacy agenda to destabilise our beautiful continent.
One thing that people don't know or perhaps suffer from amnesia. The poverty experienced by Afrika is designed as a weapon to ensure that Afrika never sees an opportunity to rise again. I know some ignorant people who are also as brainwashed as many people in Afrika will argue that Afrikans brought this unto themselves with mismanagement of the Afrikan resources. Well let us open your eyes, but you may only see the point only if you want to.
The greatest leverage the Caucasians have over Afrikans is that they control everything Afrikans believe in. They control our education, news media, our statistics, entertainment, political parties, most of all they control our own image. They even control how we perceive our own selves. That gives them the leverage of instilling the myth of the so-called "white superiority" over Afrikans. Hence Bantu Steve Biko has correctly said that the most potent thing in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.
The "white supremacy" strategy is to instill self hate amongst Afrikans to maintain their continued dominance over us. This is purely a psychological warfare used to protect their position on dominance. Hence Ron Peters' argument.
They were obviously aware that at some point they will have to vacate the Afrikan continent and allow its true indigenous people to rule the continent. Just like how Ron Peters asserted. They therefore deliberately excluded Afrikans from the mainstream education on how to manage all this resources we have in the continent. Or totally destroyed our education system with their Bantu education system of Verwoerd.
Its not that Afrikans are not as competent as their counterparts. We were in bondage for over 450 years, with no access to the economic systems. These systems were deliberately put in place to lockout Afrikans from the mainstream education that will equip us with knowledge.
The resources we have are measured in European and American currency and not Afrikan currency. That effectively benefit the colonisers. How? They own the stock market and therefore determine the price of all the commodities we have. They can drive the price down to benefit the EU buyers and not the Afrikan seller.
This is where Afrika lost it and still continuing with the errors of the past. When we got independence our leaders were so excited with this designed so-called independence which was not really freedom as perceived. The oppressors new that time will come when we will be demanding our freedom. So they were well prepared to dish it out.
They new we were going to be embroiled in the desire of power and fight over it instate of consolidating power. Some Afrikan leaders were placed by the enemy through the infiltration programs, as projects. Their assignment was to further cause mayhem in destabilising Afrika by continuing to loot the financial resources from state capture. The sad part is that they deliberately ignore their true mandate of leading Afrika out of poverty.
We were also lured to believing that some of those who rose from liberation movement were our true leaders. Yet they were also projects who were handpicked by the enemy to ensure that the programs of the enemy are propelled within Afrika. How? Their task was to ensure that the strategies of Pan Afrikanism never see the light of day. Our liberation movements were largely infiltrated by the enemy.
We received political powers that is so useless without economic power. Which effectively becomes useless. Hence Malcolm X says a revolution without land is no revolution at all. For instance Afrikans who were involuntarily moved to America were expected to pull their bootstraps and yet they were bootless as espoused by Martin Luther King Jr.
While the Caucasian peasant emigrants were given land as a settlement relief. That gave them a favourable advantage as compared to Afrikan Americans who had no support base, yet were expected to pull their bootstraps and prove themselves to be competitive. That is typical of Caucasians in general.
They always expect Afrikans to perform against all odds with no foundation. Yet they always received handout as a support system. Hence one can conclude that Caucasians are by nature discriminatory. Which straps do they expect any Afrikan to pull when they're bootless, and yet their counterpart had boots (land) hence they could pull their bootstraps.
The similar case was that of South Afrika just after 1910 when the National Party took over the government of the day. Companies such as Sasol, Dstv, sowetan, daily sun, media24, Sunlum, volskas bank and so on were created out of state funds to fund individuals to further the interest of the so called "Afrikaaner nationaler". Basically the Afrikaans (Dutch) nationalism, which was to spearhead the aspirations of the Dutch settlers in South Afrika.
Their main objectives was to ensure that Caucasians particularly of Dutch descent gain economic, political and social supremacy. It didn't just end there, a legislation was enacted restricting better paying jobs in mines, banks and government to Caucasians only. Afrikans were pushed to low paid jobs. Afrikans were also indiscriminately issued with eviction notices from fertile lands. Giving them 24 hours to vacate. Fertile lands were set aside for Caucasians and Afrikans were forced to live in crowded " reserves" which were located in dry, infertile areas.
See how quickly Caucasians get infected by amnesia!!! Today when we rightfully demand our land back without compensation, they see us as unreasonable. Yet when they benefited from those unrighteous laws none of them protested when our people were thrown into slums areas.
It is however interesting that when the government of the Afrikan National Congress (ANC) took over in 1994 introduced the similar legislation that was aimed to give poverty relief to Afrikans. Affirmative action and Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment were thus enacted. Strangely, Caucasians in South Afrika after javing benefited largely to similar legislation of affirmative action decried fowl and labelled the same law as discriminatory and demonic just because its now applied to Afrikans. Purely for redressing the imbalances of the past which were created by them. The minority Caucasian population in South Afrika, have since suffered from amnesia because the tables have tilted just a little towards Afrikans.
It is therefore nonsensical for the Caucasians particularly of Dutch descent to decry exclusion from affirmative action and yet it was okay when they benefitted from similar legislative arrangements. For instance they benefitted largely on the 1945 affirmative action to this day. Hence they had to enter into a "sunset clause" during the 1990 CODESA to safeguard their positions within the parastatal organs and more. Its not surprising that the minutes of CODESA were not made available to the public for reasons known to negotiators.
It is so sad that the ANC is so embroiled in the internal power struggle. Factionalism within the ANC ranks is also not helping much. It has swerved the ANC from their given mandate. Hence they have lost focus in identifying the best leader who is best suited to take forward the strategies of the freedom chatter. The pivotal document of the ANC that was meant to give directives in addressing poverty eradication, sorting the ills of education, job creation and economy. Wake up Afrikans and unite Afrika.
As One Afrika Family we will certainly not relent until Afrika is united and free from wars.
We support Azania on the reclaiming of land without compensation. Revolution is based on land. And land is the basis of freedom, justice and equality - Malcolm X. That cannot be compromised.
State capture is a crime and perpetrators must therefore be treated as such.
We are envisaging for a corrupt free Afrika.
We will neither relent the idea of Afro as Afrika's single currency which will be better positioned as compared to dollar.
We will also not stop advocating for the total collapse of colonial borders
The border posts in Afrika are frustrating the very objectives of Inter Afrika Trade and thus call for the total opening of the border posts across the continent.
