Afternoon revolution, Can't agree more with you M-Afrika, we only have ourselves to blame as we've allowed our dreams to be put to a siesta by a postpartum junta in suit. I mean look, China and India have a population of approximately 3 billion people yet South Africa has had more service delivery-related demons(trations) than both these countries combined. Yesterday there were some erratic demonstrations outside South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg while the Zuma saga regarding the controversial portrait by Brett Murray was unfolding inside the court room. Today, I'm told there are some sporadic service delivery protest in Kwa-Thema. Fact is, the entire South African public is often being misled by the compradors in the ANC led government that we've accomplished our revolution. Isn't it high time that the purported majority who voted these sybarites into power snap out of their fourty winks or remain vagabonds on the land of their forefathers.

In today's heteronomy (plural society), political and economic power is skewed in favour of the descendants of foreign invasion. Politically, the dominating views are based on a falsehood propounded by the strictures of the 1956 Kliptown Charter and the notion of forgiveness as expressed graphically in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Economically, the structural adjustment programme sponsored by the Brettonwoods institutions and the combination with commercial globalisation, in a world order wherein the US calls the shots, translates locally to a living philosophy of greed and selfishness - each for himself and let the devil catch the hindmost. Andile blames the ANC for this. I think so too and go on to say their diagnosis of the challenges in SA before and after 1994 is hopelessly wrong. So too is their prognosis, as stated above. We - who believe in the concrete ideas of Lembede, Sobukwe and Biko - are reaping the results of not taking our national responsibility seriously. Our structures are a sorry lot, taken over by agent provocateurs with an axe to grind. We should be ashamed of ourselves collectively. If we were in ascendence there would have never been a wholesale killing of African people in the township streets (in the name of xenophobia) and the descendants of settler colonialism would never had controlled our land and its resources like they do today. Period.

Hope you'll find it enlightening. Forward to an erudite and didactic pedagogy.
