Fellow africanist. We feel it is necessary to clear the
deliberate perpertuity of confussion that is made by Moloto.
  First, Moloto lost his case with costs to be paid in person.
In person refers to Moloto who has made the urgent application to court.
  Even though in his papers he sited the PAC as an
applicant, the court could easily identify him as the cause of action.
The leadership of the PAC made application to intervene to the
proceedings and was granted. The reason for the leadership having to
consider joining is based on the fact that the name of the PAC had to be
defended. So it is correct to say that the leadership had to defend the
PAC.   Moloto's case was challenged both on merit of the evidence he
produced in court and on law that governs parliamentary processes and
funds. He failed absimally to prove to court that
he is an accounting officer and or a leader of a party to sign a
declaratory order for parliament to release constituency allowances.
Parliament based its defense on common law of ESTOPEL, the Public finance
management act(PFMA) and on parliamentary rules for constituency
allowances. PAC leadership based its argument on
the basis of letters that it wrote to parliament informing them about the
suspension of Moloto. These letters included the letter from Deputy
president and a letter from Secretary for legal affairs.
  The position now as it stands is that Moloto is ESTOPED from continuing
accessing constituency allowances as he is not a party accounting officer
and or a leader. We will see if he can succeed in changelling the law.
 Izwe lethu. G.H. Katiya.
   Acting SG

Dear Africanists

In the next few weeks, I will be sharing Presidential Report that were
presented to the previous NEC meetings. The aim is get alignment among PAC
structures in our endeavor to implement Mhlanga Resolutions, #Vision2024.

We need PAC structures to discuss politics rather than discussing
personalities.

Revolutionary regards,

Sbusiso Xaba
PAC Deputy President

[PAYCO] Fwd: Africa must lead the fight against the Ebola epidemic

Dear Editor or Reporter

As Africa suffers the Ebola epidemic, the PAC notes that American and
European nations are sending their heavily armed military personnel. This
is contrast to the Cubans sending health personnel. The neocolonial powers
and former colonial powers are on our continent to cure Ebola with bullets
and bombs. They are sending their infantry soldiers instead of the health
military services. Clearly, these nations have no empathy or sympathy with
our conditions. They are see African pain as the profit opportunity, hence
the rumours that Ebola might be their biological weapon. Their weapon to
conduct ethnic cleansing. The PAC is not surprised because Africa
relationship to Europeans and Americans is limited to Africa being a
victim of their economic robbery. Hence, greater focus on the 33 Billion
dollar economy shrinkage than people's lives.

The PAC is more disappointed by the inaction of African Governments. Ebola
is neither a Liberian problem nor a Sierra Leone nightmare. It is not even
be viewed from a West African perspective. Ebola is a biggest threat to
Africa as a whole. All resource should have been focused on containing the
Ebola before it spread through the continent. The attitude of putting the
head in the sand and hope the Ebola will not cross over borders reflects a
lack of foresight in these governments. Truth be told, the African Union
should have taken a led on this issue but it seem to be a commentator than
coordinator. The African parliament should be aggressively driving
discussion to synchronise African effort to fight this disease but its
silence is deafening.

The PAC is disgusted with South African Government paying lip service to
solidarity to Africa through its foreign policy. South Africa lobbied to
take leadership of the African Union but refuses not take responsibility.
This government has guts to send troops to protect private in places like
Central African Republic, but it is not willing to send health personnel
of fight this epidemic. Ebola directly affects all Africans and citizens
of this country are no exception.

Nevertheless, the PAC is consoled by the solidarity displayed by the
people of Cuba and their government. It continue to uphold the cause for
building a better world for humanity. Cuban action of sending more that
500 high trained health personnel, which came with tons of medicines to
fight against Ebola. This action affirms that under socialist value
system, humanity has a future. The higher conciousness in Cuba propel it
to provide service to other nations without expectation of profits or
without the intention of exploitation those countries.

Re: [PAYCO] Re: d: Submission of Resolutions for the National Conference

[Sbusiso Xaba]

I am not a spokesperson of Moloto NEC Grouping. I am not familiar with
composition of Moloto NEC Grouping. So I am not privy to the information
that you are seeking from me.

One thing I know is that my obsessions (the decree) cannot stay in the
books of the PAC; with all its Secucratic tendencies that only magnify
centralism in the concept of Democratic Centralism. Democratic Centralism
remains the best sponsorship model for a revolutionary party; which is
fueled by ideas. It is effective in screening ideas. It can never be
associated with dictatorship and individualism fueled by personal cults
manifesting themselves in the Party.

What I know is that I lobby for strengthening of internal democracy (not
limited to merely voting) and the creation of mechanism to search for true
desires of the Party members.

If that succeed in next conference then superb. If our views do not win the
day; we will be back in the next conference with a refined argument.

I hope we will then move to the issues (ideas) instead of sticking to this
personality issues like the Moloto NEC Groupings or Dlamini NEC Groups etc.

Nothing has blinded me, including what you call my presidential ambition.

I am still going (if delegated) or will be represented by my branch
delegate to the Annual National Conference called by NEC. We will not be
prevented by any decree. Those that think that we must not attend Annual
Conference, should make the effort and convince us.

We are going to conference not blinded but extremely clear about our
recommendations to conference. We hope to persuade and convince other
branches on the removal of the decree, transparency in decision making,
clarity in roles and on public officers.

[Sbusiso Xaba]

It is nice to hide behind high emotional  loaded language. Especially, when
wanting to blackmail or intimidate. I will entertain neither emotional
blackmail nor attempted intimidation. We are not much interested in
personality cults either.

Where are these many branches, You're talking about, Ndima? Branches that
only told you? Why those branches have not attempted to persuade Tshwane
and branches in Tshwane (no matter the number )? Engage us structural.
those who have engage us found us persuadable and persuading.

The view of Tshwane is unwavering. On the issues that should top the agenda
of the conference. Yes, Bloemfontein Conference and other Annual
Conferences that would follow in coming years. We are not married to our
proposal or recommended  solutions. We will subordinate our ideas to
superior ideas and we expect other members and branches to do so. We are
sure that the Party must subdue self interest to its interest.

We are under no illusion about the state of the Party, which is not the new
state. Same state prevailing since the sixties. We do not expect a perfect
Annual Conferences. Nevertheless, we make our small contribution.

I must say this in closing, Tshwane passionately hates the decree. We are
not reasonable on the owners of the decree. Decree is our enemy. It is
unconstitutional not only in it application but its existence. It continue
to manifest itself as the biggest threat to the party. Therefore, we will
never recognise it. We are moving for transparent decision making, clarity
of roles and structure seconding members not individual (including
individual office bearer) - this is democratic centralism not dictatorship
labeled democratic centralism.

[Sbusiso Xaba]

The Disciplinary Code is a policy not Constitution or a constitutional
clause. Therefore, within the Annual National Conference competence.

The proposal is not anti democratic centralism. It in fact reinforces it.

Johannesburg - The PAC welcomed a ruling on Wednesday that the Bombela
Concession Company fix the ingress of water into parts of the Gautrain's
tunnel in Johannesburg.

"This repels the myth of private sector is beyond reproach on quality of
workmanship," said Tshwane regional chairperson Sibusis Xaba in a statement.

"Nevertheless, we remain extremely worried about secrecy surrounding the
concession agreement."

Bombela designed and built the Gautrain rapid rail project.

Gautrain spokesperson Barbara Jensen said on Wednesday the tunnel section
between Johannesburg Park Station and E2 (Emergency Shaft Two), and between
Rosebank station and the Marlboro portal, was not in accordance with the
contract specifications.

Beyond the ruling, the PAC was extremely discouraged by the transport
budget, which provided a subsidy of more than R600m while citizens were
told Gautrain was highly utilised.

"This amount could remove the ill conceived desire of e-tolls for people of
the City of Tshwane who are commuting to work around their own city or to
two neighbouring cities," said Xaba.

Jensen said Bombela was not allowed to appeal against the ruling and was
expected to present the Gautrain management agency with plans to fix the
problem.

Water was seeping into both sections of the tunnel, but the water level
between Park station and E2, near Roedean School in Parktown, was far
higher than in the rest of the tunnel.

Both problems would be fixed, but Park station would be first.

She said this had been a long dispute between the Gauteng provincial
government and Bombela.

It started some time around the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 when
the rail company decided not to open the Johannesburg Park Station section
along with the rest of the system.

Jensen could not say whether operations would stop during the process of
fixing the problem.

"Closure is not open for discussion yet, until Bombela presents [to us]."

She said the plans should have a minimal effect on commuters.

Efforts to fix the seeping water would start some time next year, she sa

[PAYCO] Review city BRT system – PAC

[Sbusiso Xaba]

http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx

THE PAN Africanist Congress (PAC) called at its Tshwane regional conference
at the weekend for a review of the city’s bus rapid transit (BRT) system.

The party’s regional chairman, Sbusiso Xaba, said A Re Yeng would not
benefit the congested African suburbs that had a huge transport problem.

Like the Gautrain, the government was investing millions in transport for
the middle classes who were “reasonably” well off when it came to public
transport, he said.

This was also why the PAC would continue to call for the reopening of the
railway line between Pretoria and Hammanskraal. “The line is there, it is
just a matter of political will. If you ask they say it is a problem of
infrastructure, but it is a matter of management.”

Xaba also said the conference was full of praise for the Mabopane rail
corridor.

The conference rejected cremation as an option to solve the availability of
land for cemeteries. It said the city had to make a plan to make more land
available to communities, especially in Soshanguve.

Xaba said African tradition required that there be a grave.

“You have people travelling many kilometres to bury their loved ones. There
is open land around Soshanguve which the council must make available.”

Xaba said the conference, held at Mabopane High School, was attended by 105
delegates from 25 branches.

“The PAC committed to work towards eradicating unemployment and
underemployment among its members to put meaning to its philosophy of
self-reliance.”

[Sbusiso Xaba]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Thabang Mothelo 
Date: 6 August 2013 06:59
Subject: Gauteng Provincial Congress Feedback
To: Thabang Mothelo 


Warm Greetings Pan Africanists,

I sincerely want to thank each of you who participated in the Gauteng
Provincial Congress.

Whilst a lot was not done as anticipated, whereby we experienced historical
problematic credentials subject once again, by and large, the consensus was
made.

Finally, the Congress proceeded after experiencing some technical glitches.
And the election of leadership ensued as follows:

Newly elected all-inclusive PEC is composed in the following manner:

Chairperson - Mr Lesiba Lekgwathi - Tshwane
Deo Chair- Mr Mike  Mayende- Jhb
Secretary- Mr Tumi Modise- West rand
Dep Sec  - Mr Reuben Rathelele - Tshwane
Organiser - Ms Poppy- Sedibeng

And all secretariat positions were filled and reflected all the regions.

the biggest achiever was West Rand with minimum delegated

I apologise for not capturing the names of secretariat due to the fact that
I did not have their names or surname in exception of Cde Poppy.

The newly elected Chair had committed his cabinet to do the following:

(i) hold strategic session to derive working plan towards elections 2014
(ii) increase stability in the regions
(iii) work co-cooperatively with all PAC members

I will once again implore on all members to support the newly elected PAC
Provincial Executive team, lets not only trust they will do the right
things but let hold them(collectively so) accountable for PAC growth.

Regards,
Thabo Mothelo

Trio badly hurt in Pretoria station stampede
25 June | 11:39
[image: pic]
By STAFF REPORTER

Pretoria - Three people were seriously injured and five others received
minor injuries during a stampede at the Pretoria Railway Station on Monday
morning.

Contacted on Monday afternoon, spokeswoman Lilian Mofokeng said Metrorail
was not sure of the cause of the stampede.

It was gathering information about what happened.

Mofokeng said: “Because a train works according to time, people are
constantly running up and down so they don’t miss their train. This could
have been the cause.”

Mofokeng confirmed that the injured commuters had been admitted to Tshwane
District Hospital for treatment.

The PAC has blamed the stampede on poor management, saying the incident was
“depressing”.

PAC regional chairman Sibusiso Xaba said some of the organisation’s members
were involved in the incident

“They confirmed the incident was due to poor management,” he said.

“The PA (public address) system confused passengers, because they did not
have proper train schedules, causing commuters to run up and down, creating
a stampede.”

Xaba claimed that the Passenger Rail Association of South Africa had failed
to respond to complaints made by commuters regarding the Metrorail train
service.

He said the prolonged neglect of safety and uncaring behaviour in managing
train schedules were disheartening, particularly for a public-owned entity.

“If you remember, some time in March, the commuters marched against this
very negligence, on safety issues, but Prasa seems not to care about the
public’s safety,” said Xaba.

The organisation called for the immediate resignation of Prasa’s management
in the Tshwane metro area, “for failure to manage their operations in the
region”. Prasa should compensate those who were injured on Monday, it said.

Protesters lambast Metrorail

March 13 2013 at 01:16pm
By Jonisayi Maromo

Independent Newspapers

File photo: Cindy Waxa

Pretoria - A group of irate commuters on Wednesday accused Metrorail of
neglecting its responsibilities and mismanaging the train service.

The protesters gathered outside the Bosman railway station in Pretoria,
demanding an urgent improvement in the service.

Vusi Mahlangu, who studies law at the University of SA, said using the
train was a “painful daily experience”.

“On a daily basis, we are late either for our studies or for tests. On
behalf of all students, I am here to plead with Metrorail, please fix your
timetable.

“We demand more trains and we demand clean and safe service. Most students
are being made to fail by the poor service of Metrorail,” he said.

Metrorail regional operations manager Abram Nkgabutle received the
protesters' memorandum. With several police officers flanking him he
listened to the commuters’ grievances.

An elderly woman said the problem was exacerbated because Metrorail
officials did not use the trains themselves, and did not understand how the
service had deteriorated.

“You drive around in your (BMW) X5s. Take time and use a train one day.
Some of us have used trains ever since you were not even born,” she said.

Another protester, Thabang Mothelo, wept as he addressed Nkgabutle about
the “tribulations of train commuters”.

“It is a very painful experience when 6000 people are crammed into one
train. A cousin of mine was injured in a train accident and only got R7500.
She is now a cripple.

“I use a train because we don’t have a car. Sometimes we go to bed without
eating at home. Government doesn’t care about us, the people who vote. We
don’t have to fight to get what we want, don’t treat us like monkeys,”
Mothelo said.

After handing over the memorandum, the protesters marched along Bosman
street to the transport department's offices on Struben Street.

Earlier, a leader of the protesters, Reuben Rathelele, told journalists
that train services had deteriorated over the years.

“We want them to improve on their service. We want to have toilets in the
trains and we want Metrorail to curb overcrowding.

There is no security in the trains. Our people are being raped in the
trains and theft is rampant.”

Rathelele said the trains were often not on time, causing many commuters to
be late for work.

Rathelele said he was a branch chairman of the Pan Africanist Congress in
Soshanguve. Some of the protesters wore green PAC T-shirts.

Police and Tshwane metro police officers escorted the protesters. Some
bystanders used their cellphones to photograph the event.

A protester used a loudhailer to invite commuters to join the strike.

“Join the march, comrade. Come and join. Don't just complain,” he shouted.

   influence to Garankuwa, Atteridgeville and Mamelodi Corridors through this
   march.
   - We are further mobilising Hammanskraal communities to demand passenger
   trains (*Separate campaign to launched by our branches in Hammanskraal
   on 01 March 2013*).

We are requesting for your regions and branches to beef up the march on the
proposed date of *13 March 2013*.

Re: [PAYCO] Economic crisis in South Africa

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Dear Africanists

Prof. Vilakazi argues the point of mono-casual path very convincingly.
Agricultural revolution  revolution being first in initiating a new chain
reaction. I like the explanation of modern economics vs. serious economics.
Serious economics and economic history being scientific compare
to capitalist dogma of the so-called modern economics. I must admit that
my conviction (almost dogmatic acceptance) of Co-ops being a optimal model
for future socialist enterprise development have shaken a bit by this
paper. Prof showed well that Coops in our nation's reinforces capitalist
foundation.

There is two element that bothers me on rural development, which I
acknowledge were not focus of this paper. The first element being that of
traditional leadership and  traditional authority structures. In building a
new society, the Africanist Socialist Democratic society from ashes
of feudal society and capitalist (colonial) is the a place for the
leadership style? How does Agricultural revolution that is socialist in
content deals with rural governance? This is question important because,
all serious anti-imperialist struggle are based in rural communities
(Zimbabwe - Zanu PF rejected in cities, Cuba - Rebels ideological
transformation (growth) on Sierra Meastra experience etc.). When
we embark of revolutionary rural development, are we going to sustain these
structures that have been surpassed by human development. Are we going
to regress to what I view as feudalism? How to we incorporate Nkrumah's
criticism of African Socialism as request of going back to communalism to
our rural development as part dialectical materialism modelling?

Second element is that Professor did not acknowledge the new era of
knowledge economy (knowledge revolution). Does knowledge economy exit or
just modern economics fallacy? Does it affect the relationship between the
people and means of production? Is solution that our party is considering
consider post-industrial revolution age (if there is such)? The technology
development and technology capability reinforced the argument of rural
revolution or back to countryside. "Back to Countryside" phenomenon is not
society regressing.

Sbusiso Xaba

Re: [PAYCO] PAC Leadership Manifesto

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Cde Kgagudi

You questions are not rhetorical at all.

   1. We are attending Butterworth conscious of its constitutional dilemma.
   We are not naive to think that power will be handed over with big smiles.
   We appreciate the legal process under-way and we equally appreciate that
   political influence must be contested. We decided to contest for that
   influence on every platform called in the PAC name including Butterworth.
   Are you convince that with more time PAC will be handed over to its
   members? I am not convince...it has to be contested (now or/and then).
   Abuse of power will not come to an end by itself. Yes, we risk the vicious
   circle and I agree it has to be broken.
   2. I full share your sentiments on *building strong party
structures*and strengthening of branches. Branches strong enough to
   make ideological sound decisions and make solid determination on strategic
   & tactical matters.
   3. *What is principled party unity? *We are brought together by five
   aims of the party. We should be united to promote them. *How we foster
   party unity? *It is codifying our value system through party regulations
   (internal policies). Properly discussed and constitutionally adopted
   regulations. Complying to this codes and demand compliance of all party
   members especially leadership. Leadership has been the most
   ill discipline section of our membership. Ordinary member do not create
   bogus branches neither do they sideline other members.* Where in past? *I
   have always allow different views in all structures that I participated
   in and never sidelined those who disagreed with my views. I am assertive on
   my views but never antagonist against Africanists. Me and you were there,
   when APC took the REC of Johannesburg. We closed the gap and fostered unity.
   4. We need to establish *Africanist Socialist Democracy* by seizing
   power and we also need to sustain that social order. The emphasis is on
   building capability to sustain but that does not diminish the importance of
   revolutionary process to establish the desire social order. *Content and
   Context* is Africanistic in orientation, socialistic in content,
   democratic in form and creative in purpose.
   5. *Revolutionary values: *Noble son, please refer the email that you
   sent to this forum dated 27 June 2012 (Subject was RECLAIM PAC FOR A
   REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAMME). You correct highlighted the cancer of
   cadreship that lacks revolutionary values. Revolution values are well
   summarised by Sobukwe on Leadership.
   6. *Relevance of Africanist Manifesto:* White domination
   remain intact regardless of its form. Direct colonialism or neocolonialism
is still white domination (*whether visible or invisible*). Capitalism
   and chain reaction analysis identifying expansion of market remain source
   of social problems (imperialism) cannot be disputed. Where are we with the
   African personality, identity or national question. *The analysis and
   prescribed solution remain up-to-date*. Yes, we can expand on each of
   paragraphs from A - O or interpret them for our understanding.

Regards,

Sbusiso Xaba

Re: [PAYCO]

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Dear Comrade

Dr. Khondlo is a real intellectual. He does not fear to kill holy cows. I
think he has captured  crisis of SACP extremely well. I was fascinated by:

   1. His practical definition of SACP as liberal party.
   2. His attack of vanguard party concept.
   3. His criticism of two stage theory poor definition of separation of
   stages and time-frame.
   4. Three element that will bring about the revolution (similar to
   Iranian model).

I am keen on further reading on "organic approach" vs. "central planning or
commandist approach". I do not agree with pity falls presented on lecture.

Kenny Doshane Motsamai on the 4th October 2011 at the Johannesburg High
Court at 10h00. The applicant will be seeking relief in terms of
his placement on parole. M'Afrika Kenny Doshane Motsamai has been
languishing in jail since 1989. It is common cause that the
government of the day is not taking the plight of these comrades
seriously, hence he is now approaching the courts to intervene and
give direction in this matter!

In a seperate matter to be heard on the same day at the same court
M'Afrika Sipho Cindi and others who are members of the Pan Africanist
Congress of Azania, will make an application to seek relief against
the Department of Correctional services concerning corruption within
the department.

You are hereby invited to attend this court hearing in solidarity of
the struggle to have all those political prisoners who are still
languishing behind bars released from prisons across the country!
Please inform and invite all other progressive minded revolutionaries
to attend this court hearing, your attendance is highly appreciated
and most welcome. Forward with the release of all former political
prisoners that are still incarcerated in South African Prisons
forward. Long live the undying revolutionary spirit of the fallen
martyrs long live!!!

Re: [PAYCO] FW:

Izwe Lethu

With definition of African being so complex. Loyalty to Africa being
subjective. I see self declaration being being only tool to measure
loyality. How will PAC government correct historic injustice? I think that
question is more complex than one asked by Cde Mdu. What stops every settler
colonist to declare himself a African without true loyalty? All 75% "white"
executive management in corporation of this country will declare themselves
African continue to work for interest of Europe. Most them have already
declared with Bheki in 1996. How will we make a case for transformation,
when we win with simple majority that does not allow us to make a
revolutionary change (constitutional changes)? In revolutionary scenario, it
easy distribute wealth equatable, problem solved.

As per my previous submission. The definition assist in maintaining
solidarity therefore a tactical definition not ideological definition.

The behaviour of Arabs against indigenous during so-called Arab spring leave
sour taste. Northern Sudan and its side kicks in Darfur (Jajawid)
brutality against indigenous people put question possibility of
brotherhood. Sudan and Egypt strategy of building dams and sinking any trace
of "Black African" claim in region. The behaviour of Caucasian Asians
against African workers is despicable. We are tempted to look European
descendants as only oppressor. Without using personal experience as analysis
tool, when pass through  United Arab Emirates with plane full of European
descendants and young African couple. Out of that Plane we were only three
search, thoroughly screened and passport temporary seized. We not even
destine to that country, we were going to Europe but security there found it
fit to embarrass us.

This makes agree with William Chancellor, Chinwuazi and Mzi on question
redefinition of relationship with Arabs in Africa.

The aim of settler colonialism (Asian or European) was to permanent claim
the land (Africa). Distort identity hence call us 'blacks', 'Negros' and not
Africans. The definition does not assist in opposing aims of settler
colonialism. The definition become dangerously close to 'land belong to
those who live in it'.

 It should be noted that disputing that definition does not translate
to consuming by hatred other peoples of the world.

Re: [PAYCO]

Comrades

If Sobukwe used that definition as matter of principle, then I am challenge
to see why did we have a problem with Freedom Charter's "land belong to
those who live in it". It is difficult to measure objectively loyalty -
loyalty change over time.

If Sobukwe used that definition as matter of strategy and tact to mobilise
external solidarity and avoid move focus from racist apartheid system (to a
situation where system points finger to racist PAC),  then that was shrewd
move.

If Sobokwa used that definition as matter of strategy and tact to move mind
of indigenous from hate (mischanelled hate), with appreciation that hatred
consumer the source, then I appreciate vision. Creating proactive force
rather than a reactive force.
This definition sound so integrationist - African history is full
integrationist tendencies that cost us dearly.

Re: [PAYCO] Coalition or Collaboration Politics or New Form of Floor Crossing?

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Izwe Lethu, iAfrika

Coalitions question is complex. PAYCO used it in South African Youth Council
arena. PASMA used it in various institutions. Coalition are necessary for
power. Success varied? We sometimes got swallowed, other times used, oddly
used others and desirable mutual beneficial coalition.

The question on table can be answered by other questions.

   - Why is party entering the coalition?
   - Why is other party entering coalition?
   - What level of relationship? (Principled relationship, strategic or
   tactical)

The level of leverage determine to what extent you can negotiate yourself to
real power in coalition. How desperate is your potential partner and how
desperate are you? Individual gain in enemy of party in negotiation, it
increases desperation.

DA has used coalitions ruthlessly to its advantage.

[PAYCO] Fwd: PUTTING AFRIKAN UNITY FIRST TO OVERCOME THE SCRAMBLE FOR AFRIKA

[Sbusiso Xaba]

PUTTING AFRICAN UNITY FIRST TO OVERCOME THE SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA: Africa
in the 21st Century After the Quasquicentennial of the Scramble for Africa

DATE OF INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM:The proposed symposium is meant for
participants for all over the world and would take place in
Tshwane/Pretoria, South Africa. The symposium will be held in *May 25- 26,
2011* at the Pretoria Campus, Tshawne University of Technology.

There is a need to acknowledge all the positive data both from Africa's
suffering and successes to counter effectively either the continuation of
the old or the new scramble for Africa. Africa must claim the 21st century
as the African century. The lessons of the past, the challenges of the
present, and the opportunities and possibilities of the future must be
combined to bring African unity now. This is the real and most urgent
challenge confronting Africa. To remain fragmented means the ruin of Africa,
to unite means the salavation of Africa. A number of people argue to remain
fragmented is to be realstic, to call for unity is to be unrealstic. In fact
the opposite is true. To remain divided is unviable. To hurry and unite is
not abstract, it is the most realstic action all Africans at various levels
must take not tomorrow but with the fierce urgency of now.The unity is not
just state unity, but comprehensive unity at various levels of peoples
political, economic, social, community and existential lives.

Whether the Scramble for Africa lives on now or not, still to this day in
substantive terms African engagement with other Africans is mostly secondary
to their respective engagement with others outside Africa. There is more
disengagement with one another than the much needed engagement that should
be driving African history forward. In 2011, inter-European trade is 67 %,
while inter African trade is 7 %, demonstrating inter-African unity remains
still very low proving also a big liability to appreciate fully the
revealing of African agency and unity.

All the positive energies from within Africa must be integrated to make
Africa achieve agency for navigating the contours of a difficult world. As
Africa had the rawest deal in human history, all efforts must be made to
make sure all of Africa or united Africa get a fair, just and new deal. 2011
is 125 +1 year of the European Scramble for Africa. Since the 1963 OAU
meeting, May 25 annually has been designated African Liberation Day. Every
year, 25 May has been remembered as the day to overcome the colonial
fragmentation of Africa that engulfed the whole continent after the 1885
Berlin meeting of the European Scramble for Africa in order to take concrete
steps to advance, build and consolidate the African strategy to unite Africa
and put Africa first.

Thus before the year 2011 is over, there is a need to make the broadest
possible education on both the scramble for Africa, the threat of the new
Scramble, the opportunities for making Africa’s time this 21st century and
gathering and diseminating the value of positive data that can be gleaned
from the history of suffering and resistance in the African world. Such
concerted actions and education using technologies and various ways of
teach-ins must be spread without fail across the African universe with
interest and joy.

*KEY ISSUES*

   - The old Scramble for Africa: is it over or does it still continue in
   different guises with different actors and players?
   - The post-colonial states: are they robust or fragile? How can they
   overcome the arbitrary carving up and splitting of ethnicities and
   vernacular communities? Is it by degrading to vernacular and

   ethnic states or by upgrading to the unity, resistance, independence and
   liberation imagination as Africans? Which identity should take priority or
   first place- the African and the sub-ethnic and vernacular?
   - There is talk of the new scramble for Africa and in fact research is
   being undertaken on how and why rising powers such as China and India are
   re-carving Africa at least by searching to exploit Africa’s rich resources.
   How credible is this assertion?
   - The old European powers and the US are believed to continue to make
   concerted efforts to control Africa’s natural resources being agents of the
   resource curse in Africa. How to change resource curse into resource
   blessing?
   - How will Africans navigate from a past that lives on in the present
   threatening Africa’s future to forge a 21st African Century? Can Africa
   claim the 21st century? Is the African Renaissance on? What is the African
   strategy for Africa a decade after the millennium? Are Africans ready to be
   led by fellow Africans to construct Africa’s capability to deal with a world
   and respond to it without sacrificing Africa’s values and interests? Who in
   Africa should lead Africa by displaying the ability to command legitimacy
   from all? What are the barriers of overcoming a variey of sub-identities to
   realise fully th

[PAYCO] Road to Revolution: A process sustained by the mass is indestructible

[Sbusiso Xaba]

I came across this article. I think our movement can learn a great deal on the 
revolutionary process of Bolivia. Revolutionary process driven by illiterate 
and semi-illiterate. It is socialist revolution driven national consciousness. 
It is not driven by traditional leadership of the working class, which is in 
trade unions and student movements. It is informed national reality and dynamic 
revolutionary theory not Marxism dogma.

Last fall, I invited Hugo Salvatierra, a founder of the MAS,  to speak in 
Toronto.  I in particular felt that it was really important to introduce Hugo 
Salvatierra to the left here  because Hugo is, I think, one of the most 
articulate translators of the Bolivian process. He was a founder of the MAS 
along with Evo Morales. He was in the founding government of the MAS as 
Minister of Rural Development, Agriculture and the Environment and then he 
persuaded Evo to let him resign so that he could go back to Santa Cruz, which 
is the centre of the right and organize the social movements in Santa Cruz. In 
light of recent criticism of the MAS government by some on the left, we thought 
it was very important to transcribe that talk so more people can hear from the 
Bolivian movement directly.

The text that follows has been transcribed from Hugo's talk 
  at a November 8, 2010, 
forum in Toronto and is published here with his permission. Translation and 
editing is by Susan Harvie,  Judy Rebick and John Riddell.

Bolivia's Road to Revolution 

'A process sustained by the broad masses is indestructible'

By Dr. Hugo Salvatierra

Good evening compañeras y compañeros. First, I would like to thank the person 
who has given me the privilege of sharing ideas with you. I am not a lecturer. 
For this reason, I ask your forgiveness for any errors. We are simply 
activists. Where political ideas are concerned, our obligation is to speak, to 
share, to understand each other, to try to help others understand us and to 
help people know what we are doing.

Miguel just brought me some photos that made me very happy. The year is marked 
as 2003. In 2003, we had no idea that we were going to be the government. 
Neither did Evo think of being president. Even less that I was going to be a 
Minister. Things happen through an accumulation of circumstances. This 
afternoon, I was with some compañeros from York University and we did a kind of 
theoretical retrospective about what is this process of change in Bolivia and a 
good part of the South American continent.

The Che generation

I talked about us, a generation of more or less my age, and I am about 59 years 
old. In the 1970s, the revolution in Chile, socialism in democracy, was a 
novelty for the related revolutionary movements who lived in other neighbouring 
countries. In Argentina, we had guerrilla groups. In Bolivia, we had just 
finished a failed guerrilla experience in Teoponte. Sixty-four university 
students went into the forest to undertake a guerrilla action. About six or 
seven survived. Our first steps into Marxism were basically some small concepts 
about what the Russians said, what the Chinese said, what the Cubans said and, 
within that, what the Trotskyists were saying. As for Marxism, we knew only 
concepts.


Advertising


We studied Marta Harnecker about Chile. There we learned that historical 
materialism exists, dialectical materialism. But it was a generation of young 
people, predominantly from the middle classes, who under the influence of the 
ideas of Che, in 1968/69/70, were proposing the armed struggle. On the part of 
the working class, we had a strong Bolivian Workers' Central whose driving 
force was the miners. The discussion was about how to make the revolution -- 
via insurrection, via prolonged people's war, via revolutionary war. The thing 
was that all of us wanted to make the revolution. The working class, led by the 
miners, was powerful, strong.

Between 1970 and the middle of 1971, a People's Assembly was created that was 
like a copy of the Russian Soviets. During this time, there was the People's 
Assembly which considered itself as a dual power, young people trying

Re: [PAYCO]

[Sbusiso Xaba]

As much as statement attributed to Gbagbo is surprising to say lest,
especially for History Professor. He should easily understood
the contradiction between Zimbabwe (revolutionaries) and imperialists.

I disagree with cadre on number of his assertions.

   1. I do not see as Gbagbo fault that his movement is younger therefore
   less matured. He has three constituencies that has worked for Cde Mugabe the
   Youth (Youth Patriots) and Army Command structures and Patriotic Judiciary.
   2. It is not Gbagbo fault that ECOWAS is majority "Francophone" States.
   These phony states take instructions from French therefore
   unsugar coat-able. Most of these States did not win the independent as
   Algeria did. They accept the model that keep them as self managing French
   colonies in similar manner as Botswana. Hence similar behavior of Mali,
   Gabon, Botswana and others to defend the emperor's interest. Ghana has
   different position to the rest of ECOWAS although not laud about it because
   a Khrumist Party is in government. Pan Africanist Senegal has been off the
   radar possible taken similar position as Zimbabwe.
   3. Gbagbo from the beginning emerge with demand
   of sovereignty.  Independent from occupying French force, French monetary
   control and French corporations. Ivory Coast is still at stage of Second
   Chimuranga. The struggle for independence is being waged,
   now. Different condition but same goal. Cde Mugabe studied before he went to
   bush. Gbagbo is well read and is now waging liberation struggle.
   4. Gbagbo came to power through youth militia that is very determine and
   committed to liberation on Ivory Coast. He should be applauded for winning
   over the army, which he toppled just a decade ago.

The odds are definitely against Gbagbo's forces therefore it is a reasonable
to predict his demise. It was obvious from number perspective that
liberation movements (primitive weaponry, poor logistics support, inferior
trained solders, low number of solders, limited - no scarce financial
resources and limited genuine solidarity) should have lost against
formidable British, Portuguese of French Army. Cde Mugabe led struggle to
its conclusion despite the obvious and we hope progressive forces will win
the day. It is our desire that the struggle conditions push Ivory Coast
force from being progressive (Social Democrats) to be revolutionary (Pan
Africanist).

AN AFRICAN GATHERING IN SENEGAL

BY RUNOKO RASHIDI
 
I think that it is safe to say that when many of us receive news from the 
mainstream media about Africa and Africans, all too often it is negative or 
disheartening.  Generally, such news reports are about conflict.  It might be 
about the crises in Darfur or Eastern Congo.  It is just as likely to be about 
Somali "pirates" or Somali "terrorists."  Right now, it is about Ivory Coast.  
Today, I'd like to write about something positive from Africa.  Specifically, I 
want to write about the recent Pan-Africanist intellectual gathering in Senegal
called FESMAN 2010, the major intellectual component of the 3rd World Festival 
of Black Arts and Cultures.
 
The 3rd World Festival of Black Arts and Cultures began on December 10 and 
continues until December 31.  It is to my knowledge the most comprehensive 
gathering of artists and intellectuals in recent times.  It is is the 
brainchild and creation of Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade and Dr. Iba Der 
Thiam--one of Africa's great intellectuals and the First Vice-President of the 
Senegalese National Assembly.
 
It has featured many of Africa's and the African Diaspora's greatest artists, 
activists, intellectuals, and educators, including Youssou N'dour, Angelique 
Kidgo, Wycliff Jean, the Kora Jazz Trio, Julius Garvey, Leonard Jeffries, 
Theophile Obenga, Chiekh Mbacke Diop, Joyce E. King, Hassimi Maiga, Johnnetta 
Coles, Wade Nobles, Ron Daniels, Julio Tavares, Ruth Love, Chief Benny Wenda of 
West Papua New Guinea, Dieudonne Gnammankou, Djibril Diallo, Runoko Rashidi and 
many, many more. And, all of this was in the shadow of newly erected African 
Renaissance Monument.
 
I was a part of the United States delegation to the Festival.  It was a high 
powered group that included Black Mayors and elected officials, artists, 
athletes and actors, scholar and intellectuals, educators and activists.  The 
US delegation was coordinated by Dr. Djibril Diallo, who is both brilliant and 
hardworking.  He combines this with a calm demeanor and uncommon ability to 
focus.  He is one of the most impressive people that I have met in a long time 
and I pray that he will play an active role in Senegal's future.
 
Within the context of the Festival there were several conferences or forums.  
The first one was on the African Diaspora, of which I had the honor of serving 
as President and Chairperson.  Dr. Sheila Walker was Vice-President.
 
The fact that the Diaspora Forum was the first of the Festival is an indication 
of the importance of the Diaspora in the eyes of the Festival organizers.  And 
it was not something that we took lightly.  Indeed, we worked on the structure 
and makeup of the conference for months.  The coordinator of the Diaspora Forum 
was Dr. Ibrahima Seck--a professor at Cheikh Anta University in Dakar.  Nobody 
worked harder for the success of our Forum than Dr. Seck.
 
As immodest as it may sound, I think that the Diaspora Forum was the best and 
most powerful of the Festival.  It was the first forum, it was the best 
attended, it was introduced by President Wade himself and, like all of the 
forums, it was presided over by Dr. Iba Der Thiam--one of Africa's great 
scholars and intellectuals.  On a personal level, I enjoyed Dr. Thiam very 
much.  He seemed firm but fair.  He was hardworking, pleasant and consistent.  
He is a very dignified man who commands the respect of all around him.  It was 
both a pleasure and an honor to be in his company.

Dr. Thiam and President Wade made lengthy introductory remarks about the 
conference and the history and importance of Pan-Africanism.  Both of them 
referenced my work and President Wade went as far to wave a copy of my French 
language book on Asia around as he spoke.  

I was introduced as the first keynote and I responded by giving one of my best 
presentations ever.  I was determined as president, chairperson and first 
speaker of the Festival to frame the African Diaspora beyond the realm of 
slavery.  I showed 135 of my very best photographs (shown across the auditorium 
on two gigantic big screen monitors) and spoke with great passion and 
conviction.  I spoke of Africa as the birthplace of humanity and African people 
as the aboriginal people of the world. 

I dedicated my remarks to President Wade and acknowledged in the audi

Zim land reform was a success: UK study 

By: BBC-TZG 
Posted: Friday, November 19, 2010 11:50 am 

A UNITED Kingdom study has confirmed government reports that Zimbabwe's land 
reform programme has not been the complete economic disaster widely portrayed 
in 
the press and other international reports.

In a new study carried out by that country's Institute of Development Studies 
at 
Sussex University, confirmed that the farmers have become very productive since 
the 2000 Fast Track Land Reform Programme and subsequent land reform policies.

The study's lead author, Ian Scoones, told BBC News he was "genuinely 
surprised" 
to see how much activity was happening on the farms visited during the 10-year 
study.

"People were getting on with things in difficult circumstances and doing 
remarkably well," he said.

The policy was putting right the wrongs inherited from the pre-1980 colonial 
era, when black Zimbabweans were forced from their homelands in favour of white 
settlers.

"What we have observed on the ground does not represent the political and media 
stereotypes of abject failure," says the study - Zimbabwe's Land Reform, Myths 
and Realities.

The study, however, notes that most beneficiaries complained about the 
government not giving them the support they need, such as seeds, fertiliser and 
ploughing the land.

But he says much of the debate has been unduly politicised.

"We wanted to uncover the facts on the ground," he said.

The study found that about two-thirds of people who were given land in Masvingo 
were "ordinary" - low-income - Zimbabweans. These are the people President 
Mugabe always said his reforms were designed to help.

The remaining one-third includes civil servants (16.5%), former workers on 
white-owned farms (6.7%), business people (4.8%) and members of the security 
services (3.7%).

Of these, he estimates that around 5% are "linked to the 
political-military-security elite".

Mr Scoones says the proportion of such "cronies" being given land was a 
relatively small proportion of the overall land seized across the country.

The researchers found that, on average, each household had invested more than 
$2,000 (£1,200) on their land since they had settled on it - clearing land, 
building houses and digging wells.

This investment has led to knock-on activity in the surrounding areas, boosting 
the rural economy and providing further employment.

'Under the radar'

One of those questioned, identified only as JM, told the researchers that 
before 
being given land he had relied on help from others but now owns five head of 
cattle and employs two workers.

"The new land has transformed our lives," he said.

Others say they are much better off farming than when they had jobs.

He says that about half of those surveyed are doing well, reaping good harvests 
and reinvesting the profits.

Maize is Zimbabwe's main food crop but its production remains reliant on good 
rains and output remains well below that pre-2000. Mr Scoones says Zimbabwe's 
food crisis of 2007-8 cannot be put down to the land reform, as those people 
who 
went hungry produced a large surplus both the previous and subsequent years.

Before the "fast-track" land reform began in 2000, tobacco, mostly grown by 
white commercial farmers, was Zimbabwe's biggest cash crop.

But producing top quality tobacco requires considerable investment and 
know-how, 
both of which are lacking among many of the new black farmers.

Instead, they often grow cotton, which has now replaced tobacco as the main 
agricultural export.

Mr Scoones says those who are struggling the most are the least well-off civil 
servants, such as teachers and nurses, who have been unable to get credit and 
do 
not have the resources, or political connections, to invest in their land.

He hopes that as Zimbabwe's economy slowly recovers under a power-sharing 
government, a new programme can be worked out which would give these people the 
backing they need to succeed.

It is often argued that large-scale commercial farming - as many of the white 
Zimbabweans used to practise - is inherently more efficient than the 
smallholder 
system which replaced it, but Mr Scoones dismisses this argument and says he is 
backed by several studies from around the world.

He says it is now impossible to return to the previous set-up and even suggests 
that some of the evicted white farmers may one day work with the new farmers as 
consultants, marketing men, farm managers or elsewhere in the overall 
agricultural economy, such as transporting goods to market or helping to 
transform and add value to their produce.

Many of those who remain bitter about losing their land may are likely to 
respo

Re: [PAYCO] Re: Views from Cuba

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Excellent perspective from Cde Jaki on Socialism with
Chinese Characteristics and material conditions of both Cuba and China. I
cannot resist the temptation to make primitive conclusion  that state
capitalism is prevailing economic model, currently. Russian Model,
which  progressed to state capitalism, Chinese Model is currently state
capitalism (dominance of state owned enterprises) and USA force by economic
meltdown to state capitalism (Government owns most banks, now). Even
the emerging socialist pioneers like Venezuela and Bolivia
are nationalizing through commercialization state owned enterprises. All
these markets domestic private enterprises are playing a supportive role and
foreign enterprises are tolerated for their technology.

On hindsight, the 2006 Economic Conference of PAYCO identified number
industries that need to nationalized, which is first step to state
capitalism. Are our thoughts also in that ideological trajectory?

It is only the shrinking economies of (Western) Europe that remains touched
by this fashion.

What am I missing? Can the ideals of socialism be met by socialist
market economy? State capitalism? Most fundamental is approach of these
countries results of vigorous application of scientific socialism or selling
out?

I have been exposed to lot of Chinese experience in couple of months. Since
Raul took over the leadership of Cuba, Cuba seem to been taking a similar
direction to that of China. Hence article circulated by Cde Ali.

Chinese New Growth Path, 10th and 11th Five Year Program emphasized on
development of market economy. Results were phenomenal double digit economic
growth, cash flashed state enterprises and of course high Gini coefficient
(widen income gap between rich and poor). Gini Coefficient is now higher
than that USA at 0.49. The 12th Five Years Program adopted 17th CPC congress
goes further to intensify this direction by emphasizing on increasing
culture of consuming with its domestic economy. Has the Communist Party of
China abandon socialism or is it being scientific about economic and social
development? Cuba has open for sale of luxury goods a few year ago,
introduce private enterprise and now expanding the scope of private
enterprise. Is Communist Party of Cuba abandon communism or applying science
of scientific socialism over dogmatic angle of socialism?

Is market economy model become an integrated with socialism? Are Communist
Party leaders selling out? What is going on in international landscape?

History battle: Zambia's dubious role in Namibia's freedom fight

afrol News, 6 July - The difficult past of Zambia's ambiguous role in Namibia's 
and Angola's freedom fight is haunting current President, thus Foreign 
Minister, 
Rupiah Banda. The 1970s anti-communist Zambian regime is said to have killed 
Namibian freedom fighters in agreement with apartheid South Africa and Sam 
Nujoma. Historians confirm the allegations. 


"There is no such a thing and the allegations are totally false," President 
Banda responded to the allegations from Namibia's National Society for Human 
Rights (NSHR), that he and former President Kenneth Kaunda had entered into a 
détente with South Africa and Henry Kissinger's USA, leading to the 
disappearance of Namibian fighters.

"And you know my conscience will not allow me to be a leader even here if I was 
involved in any disappearance of anybody anywhere in the world. I will not be 
President of this country and I will be prepared to resign even today. There 
was 
no such a thing," President Banda insisted.

What are the accusations that make a Zambian President offer his resignation if 
found true? They are explosive enough to cast a dark shadow over Zambia's and 
Namibia's history and their current leaderships. And historians speaking to 
afrol News confirm there is much truth to the allegations.

NSHR Director Phil ya Nangoloh started the debate in anticipation of President 
Banda's official visit to Namibia, demanding an explanation for what happened 
to 
dozens of SWAPO freedom fighters that disappeared in Zambia during a 1976 purge 
against the left wing of the freedom movement, which is now Namibia's ruling 
party.

Himself a SWAPO fighter in those days, the outspoken human rights activist 
outlines how SWAPO leader Sam Nujoma - Namibia's first President - and Zambian 
President Kaunda together with his FM Banda plotted to disarm SWAPO fighters 
then based in Zambia who were in opposition to Mr Nujoma's anti-communist 
stance.

According to Mr Nangoloh, an anti-communist détente between the US, apartheid 
South Africa and Zambia was in the making in 1974. The alliance was to stop the 
advance of Marxist movements in the region; in particular Angola's MPLA and 
partly Mozambique's Frelimo, but also Zimbabwe's ZANU led by Robert Mugabe and 
Zambia-based factions of SWAPO, both seen as radical and pro-communist.

As part of this détente, "SWAPO's armed wing, the People's Liberation Army of 
Namibia (PLAN) - like Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) forces in Rhodesia 
- had to be disarmed and be barred from using Zambia as a springboard to attack 
South African forces in Namibia's Caprivi Strip," Mr Nangoloh says. 


During September 1975, Zambia formally ordered PLAN fighters to cease all 
military activities on Zambian soil. In April 1976, Namibia's PLAN fighters in 
south-western Zambia were "violently disarmed by Zambian troops," he adds.

Mr Nangoloh claims PLAN fighters in Zambia were thereafter taken to "the 
notorious Mboroma concentration camp near Kabwe" in Zambia, where several were 
killed. At a later location, the Nyango camp, between 40 and 60 "radical" or 
"rebel" PLAN commanders "started disappearing without a trace individually and 
or in small groups," he further claims.

The majority of PLAN fighters however were later sent for "rehabilitation" to 
Mr 
Nujoma's new main basis in Angola. Also here, many "disappeared" or were killed 
at Mr Nujoma's orders.

Mr Nangoloh's allegations have spurred strong reactions in Zambia, not only 
from 
President Banda. According to official history writing in Zambia, the front 
line 
nation plaid an important role in the independence struggle of Southern Africa. 
Zambia hosted a large number of freedom movements, was a safe haven for 
oppressed neighbours and showed great hospitality at a great political and 
economic price.

This "official history" of Zambia undoubtedly is true, and Zambians can for the 
most take pride in their nation's important part in Southern Africa's 
liberation 
history. 


But also Mr Nangoloh's accounts are mostly to be believed, historians hold. 
They 
are parallel truths driven by a very difficult situation for Zambia in the 
1970s, which however has been poorly documented and described so far.

Indications of President Kaunda's double play can be found in standard history 
textbooks, such as Oliver and Atmore's trendsetting "Africa since 1800". Here, 
both Zambia's key role as a front line state hosting foreign freedom movements 
and President Kaunda's "bizarre meeting" with South African Prime Minister John 
Vorster in a train coach straddling the Zambian-Rhodesian border in A

How Africans were conned 

15 June 2010
Motsoko Pheko 

RECENT eulogising and celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Union of 
South Africa reflects an incurable pathological colonial mentality of many 
African leaders who ought to know better. 

The Union of South Africa is a classical example of the mutilation of African 
history and manipulation of international law by Britain and its colonial 
settlers.

Celebrating the Union of South Africa is like dancing on the graves of African 
ancestors. They braved the bullets of imperialist forces in defence of their 
country against colonial aggression.
The union of four British colonies was constituted by the Union of South Africa 
Act on September 20 1909. The first movement toward this union came from the 
Orange River Colony. 

In 1885 the settlers there sent a document to Sir George Grey, a Cape Colony 
governor. Among other things, they wanted the Orange River Colony allied with 
the Cape Colony and “the prestige of national federation which would prevent 
lamentable strives with the native races”.

Grey referred this memorandum to the British Secretary of State for Colonies. 
In the memorandum, Grey warned that the natives were restless and that the only 
way for the settlers to maintain “peace” would be to unite.

Why were the four British colonies formed into a Union of South Africa? Many 
settlers recognised that the colour question in all the colonies had to be 
dealt with, not piecemeal by separate governments, but as one complex whole.

The Cape Colony had one native policy: Natal, an entirely different one, the 
Transvaal, a third and the Orange River Colony a fourth.
Different remedies were being applied to the same disease. Apart from this 
there was always the danger of a native uprising. 

The white population, if united under one government, would be strong enough to 
deal with that kind of danger. But under four governments, not one of them was 
safe.

Historians Fowler and Smith have corroborated the purpose of uniting the four 
colonies. They wrote: “Peace in South Africa depended to a large extent on a 
sound relationship between the colonies … and the native tribes. 

“Unified control of native tribes in South Africa through some form of 
federation would minimise the danger of costly native wars.”
African leaders such as Tengo Jabavu, together with African political 
organisations in the Cape Colony, Transvaal and Orange Free State, opposed the 
Union of South Africa . They all sent their petitions to King Edward VII of 
England.

The Anti-Slavery Society in Britain also opposed the union of the British 
colonies.

In 1909 there were more than five million Africans in South Africa, but the 
union of the colonies was meant to benefit 349834 colonial settlers. The 
indigenous African majority was ignored and remained helpless spectators as 
their tragedy was unfolding before them. 

Yet today, one hundred years after this tragedy, there are some African leaders 
who are celebrating and eulogising the economic slavery, social degradation and 
land dispossession of African people that stem directly from the Union of South 
Africa. 

After consolidating their imperialist grip, the colonialists treated the 
African country as terra nullius and res nullius – literally empty land 
belonging to nobody. 

Britain smuggled this union of colonies into the League of Nations in 1919. In 
1931 it granted it so-called “dominion status”, a term that does not exist in 
international law. It got the Union of South Africa to the United Nations in 
1945 and paraded it as a “sovereign independent state”. 

This act of Britain was a desperate colonial attempt to transfer an African 
country to colonial settlers. This was in violation of the principle of the old 
law of nations that “natural reason concedes ownership to the first occupier”.

Furthermore it is an established fact of international law that if a state 
transfers a territory, the legality of the transfer depends on the title it 
holds. If it is defective, the title of the state to which it is being 
transferred or ceded will be vitiated by the defect. 
South Africa was kicked out of the UN through lobbying and campaigning by the 
Pan Africanist Congress . 

As Tom Lodge put it: “In November 1974 the PAC lobbyists succeeded in obtaining 
the expulsion of South Africa from the United Nations and in July 1975 the OAU 
Kampala meeting adopted as official policy a long document prepared by the PAC 
arguing for the illegality of South Africa’s status.”

Peace and reconciliation have lost their meaning in South Africa. They now mean 
appeasement, justice and pandering to the arrogance of Eurocentric forces. 

This country must not live a lie that lulls it in

How President Kenyatta used British intelligence to spy on his VP Odinga 

By MUGUMO MUNENE
Posted Saturday, June 5 2010 at 21:00

Kenya’s founding President Jomo Kenyatta sought the help of British spies to 
protect his government against a suspected plot by his vice-president to 
overthrow him, according to a new book.

Mzee Kenyatta and his lieutenant Charles Njonjo were worried that Jaramogi 
Oginga Odinga was receiving money from communist countries and was likely to 
destabilise or overthrow the government.

Mzee Kenyatta and Jaramogi had, in the run-up to independence, a great desire 
for a free Kenya but their ideologies were different.

While Mr Odinga had wanted the British colonialists to leave at once, Kenyatta 
wanted Kenyans to “forgive and forget” the past. Those who wished to remain in 
Kenya after independence were welcome.

Spy agency

The political differences introduced a major strain between the President and 
his VP, and Mzee Kenyatta turned to the British spy agency, MI5, for help, 
according to a recently published official history of the intelligence 
organisation.

The declassified MI5 material shows why, in their understanding, Mr Odinga 
refused to assume the premiership in 1961 unless Mzee Kenyatta was first 
released from detention.

Mr Odinga held that Mr Kenyatta was the man to lead Kenya to independence and 
once called him “Kenya’s second god.” But, as he was about to discover, he had 
grossly misunderstood the man.

“Odinga had probably expected him (Kenyatta) to emerge from prison as a shadow 
of his former self – about 70 years old (no one knew his exact age), physically 
feeble, alcoholic, out of touch and a figurehead whom Odinga could dominate,” 
writes Prof Christopher Andrew in Defend the Realm. 

Be confiscated

“Instead, Odinga found himself outmanoeuvred by Kenyatta, who distanced himself 
from Kanu’s election programme and promised settlers that they would be welcome 
to stay in independent Kenya and that their property would not be confiscated.”

The author, a Cambridge professor, adds: “The Intelligence in which Kenyatta 
took the most interest concerned the activities of the pro-Communist Odinga 
...With assistance from senior members of the Special Branch, whom Kenyatta had 
asked to stay on after the end of British rule, at least one of Odinga’s houses 
was bugged.”

On December 12, 1964, the first anniversary of Kenya’s independence and the day 
Kenya became a republic, Mzee Kenyatta asked former Commonwealth secretary 
Duncan Sandys if the British could produce “any documentary proof of Odinga 
receiving money from the Chinese.”

“Kenyatta said that he was well aware of these subventions but could not 
effectively deal with Odinga unless he could confront him with specific 
evidence. Though no usable evidence seems to have been forthcoming, the Special 
Branch identified the main conduit by which Odinga received funds from China,” 
writes Prof Andrew.

The book does not identify the conduit.

However, in April 1965, Mr Njonjo, the attorney-general, informed the British 
High Commissioner Malcom Macdonald of reports that Mr Odinga and his associates 
were plotting a coup. Mr Njonjo requested the intervention of British troops.

The anticipated coup did not materialise.

Arms seized

“Odinga’s offices were searched and several crates of machine guns, grenades 
and other arms were seized. Soon afterwards, Kenyatta gave the Soviet 
ambassador a furious dressing down after the arrival of a Soviet arms shipment 
apparently arranged by Odinga. The arms were sent back to Russia.”

The appointment of Mr Odinga to the VP’s position at independence was widely 
viewed as a reward for the demands he had made to the colonialists that Mzee 
Kenyatta be released before Kanu could assume the reins of power.

But by 1965, their political relationship had collapsed as the two engaged in a 
contest of might, which Mr Odinga lost in 1966.

But Mzee Kenyatta wasn’t ready to break his relations with British agents just 
yet.

Research desk

“Soon after Odinga’s sacking, the Head of Training was asked to carry out a 
review of Kenya’s Intelligence. He recommended the secondment of a British 
intelligence officer to head a research desk which would coordinate 
intelligence assessments and produce reports for Kenyatta and other members of 
his administration and the creation of a National Security Executive to oversee 
the intelligence community. 

“His report was accepted in its entirety

[PAYCO] Time to ditch the 'disaster' scenarios

BEN COUSINS: COMMENT - May 21 2010 06:00

The dominant view of land reform in Zimbabwe is that farm invasions from
2000 to 2001 were nothing but a corrupt land grab by Zanu-PF and its
cronies. This is said to have initiated a calamitous decline in agriculture
from which it has never recovered.

The story is that Zimbabwe moved from being the breadbasket of the region to
being a basket case, dependent on humanitarian aid to feed its people. The
media endlessly reproduces the image that commercial farming has completely
collapsed, conjuring up images of empty farms and a ravaged landscape.

This stereotype of Zimbabwean land reform is profoundly unhelpful. It is not
based on empirical evidence of the impact of land reform, or an
understanding of underlying complexities and trends over time. Seeing land
reform as a total failure clouds understanding of complex new realities that
farmers, government officials, political parties and other players are
grappling with in trying to chart a way forward.

The findings of a three-year study in Masvingo province will be published in
a book later this year (see www.lalr.org.za). The study collected survey
data on 400 households on redistributed land, from four sites in the
province with contrasting agro-ecological potential. Farmers were engaged in
different types of cropping and livestock production, including cotton,
grains, oilseeds, sugar cane, cattle, goats and sheep. The sample included
medium-size farms (the A2 model) as well as smallholder farms (the A1 model)
in either villages or on self-contained units.

The study finds that crop yields and output on the redistributed farms, and
particularly on the A1 schemes, have increased steadily in the past few
years. From 2006 onwards more than two-thirds of households have produced
more maize than they can consume, whenever rainfall is sufficient. Cotton
production has been a notable success in one of the sites, helped by
processing companies providing inputs and a reliable market. Livestock
populations in most sites have increased steadily over time.

Many of the new "settlers" are adamant that their livelihoods have improved
considerably after land reform, despite four droughts over the past decade.
In Masvingo former beef ranches or wildlife farms are now supporting much
higher rural populations than they did before redistribution.

National crop-production data compiled by the United Nation's Food and
Agricultural Organisation clearly demonstrate the misleading nature of
images of "collapse". Trends vary considerably by crop type, showing
significant decreases in yields and total output for maize, tobacco and
wheat, but increases in area planted and total output for smallholder crops
such as small grains, groundnuts and dry beans. Cotton production, dominated
by smallholders since the mid-1980s, has seen increases in area planted,
yields and total output compared with the 1990s. Export crops such as tea,
coffee and sugar have seen significant decreases, but not their total
collapse.

Maize, the national food staple, has been badly affected by declining
fertiliser production and the disruption of seed production. These problems
were compounded by ineffective (and sometimes corrupt) government programmes
to supply inputs to land-reform beneficiaries. Maize is also sensitive to
rainfall patterns.

Compared with the 1990s national average of 1,6-million tons, the past nine
years have seen shortfalls of between 1,1% (in 2004-05) and 65% (in
2007-08), with the harvest in the good rainfall year of 2008-09 amounting to
1,2-million tons (25% less than the 1990s average).

Clearly, agriculture in Zimbabwe has indeed experienced significant problems
in the years following radical land reform, but the notion of "total
failure" is inaccurate. A new agrarian structure has come into being, with a
much wider range of farm sizes and farming systems than in the past,
replacing a highly unequal and dualistic structure.

Novel commodity chains for crops and livestock are emerging, with new
agribusinesses supplying inputs and buying produce, as in the tobacco
sector. Seed and fertiliser production capacity is being restored.

How many farms were seized by the political elite and the securocrats? In
the Masvingo study, very few. Three quarters of redistributed land went to
small-scale farmers on A1 plots. Half of all beneficiaries were ordinary
people from rural areas and another 18% were ordinary people from towns.
Civil servants made up 16% of the total, security-service personnel and
business people about 5% respectively, and farmworkers about 7%. Urban
residents and civil servants made up the bulk of the A2 settlers on
medium-scale farms.

The pattern is undoubtedly different on high-potential farms in the
Mashonaland provinces and around Harare, but other studies in these areas
show that much land went to people with low incomes and few asset

ICC? Why Not Pan African Court of Justice? 

By Amii Omara-Otunnu 
May 17th, 2010 

The manner in which the International Court of Justice (ICC) has thus far 
carried out its functions and the criteria it has used to indict almost 
exclusively individuals from Africa, have generated debates about both the 
relevance and impartiality of the Court.

There is certainly a perception among a cross section of historically-informed 
Africans that the ICC has been concerned less about justice per se than about 
making examples of the wretched of the earth on behalf of the mighty powers of 
the world. The perception, if not conclusion, prevalent among Africans seems 
warranted when it is considered that none of the people who authored the death 
of thousands of people by various means, for example, in Afghanistan, Chechnya, 
the Gaza Strip, Iraq, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, have been indicted. 

It is a pity that a great many politically conscious Africans are questioning 
the impartiality of the ICC, as most of them had been enthusiastic advocates 
for its establishment, which came into force in July 2002, after sixty-six 
countries had ratified the Statute of Rome. The Statute of Rome, which was 
adopted at a diplomatic conference in the city on July 17, 1998, established 
the framework for the ICC.

The ICC is based in the Hague, Holland. According to the Rome Statute, it is 
charged to have jurisdiction over, and duty to prosecute and hold accountable 
individuals deemed to have committed, some of the most serious crimes of 
international concern. These fall under four heads of crimes, namely, crime of 
genocide; crimes against humanity; war crimes; and the crime of aggression. It 
is interesting that the Statute is quite silent on what might be regarded as 
transnational crimes of racial exploitation and oppression, which have had and 
continue to have devastating impact on millions of people all over the world. 

Leading to, and after the adoption of, the Rome Statue, a great many African 
advocates of human rights were among progressive internationalists who were 
euphoric about the establishment of the international judicial institution, 
which they believed would inaugurate a new dawn in international rule of law 
and justice. However, the phrase “the rule of law” and the term “justice” were 
not clearly defined. There is little doubt that the adoption of the Statute 
marked a historical watershed and a culmination of protracted efforts by 
international jurists dating to 1947, to establish an international judicial 
institution dealing with some of the most heinous crimes committed against 
humanity. It is, however, not clear if the ICC was not oversold. It would seem 
that the internationalists were rather utopian without comprehending the 
dynamics and actual workings of international politics, which would influence 
the practical functioning of the ICC.

In any case, the euphoria about the Statute of Rome was not unanimous. There 
were a number of powerful people, notably in USA, who disparaged the Statute 
and asserted that the establishment of ICC would usher in a dangerous practice 
in international politics and law. This group of people raised two main 
objections to the establishment of the ICC. 

The first was that the ICC would be used by “Third World” countries to 
administer political justice, for example, against USA. In effect, the thrust 
of the group’s argument in this regard seemed to be that the ICC would be 
incapable of administrating justice impartially, as the new institution would 
use political rather than judicial criteria to prosecute individuals. 

And the second main objection was that the ICC would undermine national 
sovereignty. The second objection was highlighted despite the fact that the 
Statute stipulates expressly that the ICC would be complementary and not 
substitute to national judicial courts; meaning that cases would be referred to 
the ICC only when national courts lack the capacity or competence to deal with 
such cases. 

Despite the fact that USA under Clinton administration participated actively in 
negotiations towards the Statute of Rome, a powerful group of people who were 
skeptical about the ICC prevailed upon the Bush administration to withdraw the 
signature of the USA from the Statute. In a testimony before USA Senate, the 
chief USA negotiator, Ambassador David Scheffer, indicated that the United 
States could not sign the Rome Statute because certain critical negotiating 
objectives of the United States had not been achieved. To achieve USA 
objectives, however defined, the American Service Members Protection Act was 
passed in 2002; this gives authority to the executive branch to use all 
necessary

What are South Africans celebrating on 27 April?

Abandoning freedom for a fairytale destination

Motsoko Pheko
2010-04-22, Issue 478

http://pambazuka.org/en/category/features/63887

As South Africa prepares to celebrate Freedom Day on 27 April, Motsoko Pheko 
warns that the negotiated settlement that ended apartheid 16 years ago failed 
to take into consideration ‘the primary objectives for which the liberation 
struggle was fought’. The country’s constitution may be the best in the world, 
but isn’t it time it was amended on the fundamental issues that affect the 
majority poor, Pheko asks.


What are we celebrating this April 27? Some say we are celebrating democracy, 
the birth of a rainbow nation, the miracle of a negotiated settlement, the best 
constitution in the world which makes South Africa the only country in Africa 
that has legalised same-sex marriages, and the fifth in the whole world to do 
so. 

Sixteen years of post-apartheid period, however, shows that the foundation upon 
which South Africa is built has dangerous cracks. The negotiated settlement was 
one-sided. The negotiations did not take into consideration the primary 
objectives for which the liberation struggle was fought. The fundamental 
interests of the majority 80 per cent were terribly compromised. The 
negotiators mistook the beginning of a long journey for arrival at the 
destination. 

That is why the South African constitution has not been amended except when it 
was to move the people of Khutsong to North West and those of Matatiele to the 
Eastern Cape. It was amended also when the residents of Phiri, a poor community 
in Soweto opposed the installation of water metres that made water expensive 
and unaffordable for them. The South African constitution has never been 
amended on any fundamental issues that affect the majority poor.

The land policy of the ruling party is an unmitigated disaster. Land is the 
trophy over which the national liberation struggle was fought. Land is the 
national asset without which there can be no economic liberation of the 
majority poor. In South Africa, Africans are 80 per cent of the population, but 
they have 13 per cent of the land. This is as result of the Native Land Act 
1913 that colonially legalised the land dispossession of the African people and 
created the ‘Native Reserves’ – the latter ‘Bantustans’ – as reservoir of cheap 
native labour for farms and mines. Section 25 of the South African constitution 
is now just another name for the Native Land Act 1913. It forbids any land 
claims by Africans before June 1913. 

After the Native Land Act, the first secretary of the African National 
Congress, Solly Plaatje said, ‘What took place when Ministers and members (of 
the colonial parliament) met in caucus in Cape Town, they alone know, but we 
have the result in the Native Land Act 1913. At the beginning of May (1913), no 
one knew that the year would see the last territorial freedom for Africans… On 
June 19 the same year, the law had been enacted and was operating in every part 
of South Africa.’

Africans were dispossessed of so much land that the secretary of the ANC, Solly 
Plaatje, the ANC President, John Langalibalele Dube and three others went to 
Britain. On 14 July they presented a petition to King George V, the coloniser 
of the African country. These petitioners on behalf of the kings and people of 
this country said that they loved their country with a most intense love; that 
land had been taken away from them. 

The petitioners said they ‘fully accepted the sovereignty of Great Britain and 
no other.’ One of the demands to King George V was ‘that the natives (Africans) 
should be put into possession of land in proportion to their numbers, and on 
the same conditions as the white race.’

This was nearly 100 years ago. But this has not happened. It was betrayed for 
the second time at the negotiations table in 1994 and swept under the carpet. 
This was despite the Africans Claims In South Africa and The Bill Of Rights 
that had been endorsed by ANC presidents such as Dr Alfred B Xuma, Dr James 
Moroka and Chief Albert Luthuli.

This freedom document adopted by the ANC in 1943 reads: ‘We demand the right to 
an equal share in all material resources of the country and urge; That the 
present 13% of the surface area to 8 million Africans as against 87% to 2 
million Europeans is unjust…and therefore demand a fair redistribution of LAND.’

The liberation struggle of the African people in South Africa has consistently 
been one of equitable redistribution of land and its resources according to 
population numbers. But the ANC government opted to buy back African land on 
the willing seller, willing buyer principle. This has not worked in spite of 
billions of Rand spent on

Mandela: The African hero stolen by the West? 

By: Udo W. Froese 
Posted: Sunday, April 25, 2010 11:12 pm 

OVER 20 years ago, on February 11 1990, South Africa’s retired president and 
Nobel Peace co-laureate, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, left the colonial-apartheid 
prison of “Victor Verster” outside Cape Town. 

South Africans and the West considered Mandela as the African messiah.

The rest of Africa awaited the outcome from a distance, particularly as time 
went on and the country’s newfound “freedom” had not accommodated the black 
majority on its land and in its economy.

Instead, it conveniently passed the buck, insisting that it would take a very 
long time to correct the wrongs.

This means in real terms, it would take forever to accept African-South 
Africans on their own land, to assist them in their growth from historical 
victims of colonial apartheid “Bantu education” to modern-day participants in 
South Africa’s economic growth. 

Meanwhile, the 91-year-old international icon heads the arch-imperial-colonial 
“Rhodes Foundation”, now named the “Mandela-Rhodes Foundation”. His statues 
grace South Africa’s most affluent suburbs in the north of Johannesburg, 
Sandton, the posh Western Cape Prince’s wine hub, Franschhoek, and London’s 
Hyde Park.

A brief overview since

Since then, not much has happened in South Africa. It is a country with an 
internationally negotiated democracy, all the foreign-dictated trimmings and a 
liberal, un-African constitution, hailed as the “best in the world”, versus a 
centrally “colonial-apartheid” Caucasian-owned and controlled economy and its 
structured poverty for the people. 

The international West and its powerful “Bretton Woods institutions” hail South 
Africa’s economy as “on course, strong, stable and well done”. They define the 
discriminating structures as a “free market economy”. 

Whatever that really means . . . South Africa’s economy could at best be 
described as an exclusive, oligopolistic, cartelised, warehouse economy.

Organised criminal business cartels are allowed to operate without any shame, 
to the disadvantage of the poor majority as well as to the country’s economy. 
And, the owners of this economy are well known to manipulate the politics of 
the day. 

The country’s parastatals have also been exposed to what insider analysts 
observed as economic sabotage, in order to force privatisation.

Profits have always been firmly placed before humans. This means, the 
well-heeled are on the right side of the law. So much for the “rule of law” and 
an “independent judiciary” as preached by its owners.

Historically endemic mass unemployment, abject poverty, chronic starvation, 
rampant HIV and Aids and way-above-average illiteracy for the majority of South 
Africans as well as reported crime levels exploited by an equally historic 
media propaganda campaign and thin infrastructure — shown off as the best in 
Africa — is a popular picture. 

This created the perception that all that glitters south of the Limpopo River 
is well and worth it. Africans from all over the continent flock to this south. 

Former president Thabo Mbeki once defined the South African economy as “a 
country with two economies — one well-functional and owned by the well-to-do 
white minority and their minions and one poor one, suffered by the black 
majority”.
The ANC has remained as “junior partner” of the local and global centralised 
economic structures.

This has led to the vulnerability of the majority of the population and those 
who rush down south to escape the unrests and economic hardships in their 
countries. It so happens that most of them are black Africans. Naturally, this 
plays into the hands of those with hidden agendas. The people have become 
restless.

South Africa seems to be held hostage through low-key internal civil strife in 
the forms of “xenophobia”, “taxi strikes and wars”, countrywide violent 
“delivery protests” and hundreds of learners gurgling for the blood of some 
young local hip-hop star, who killed four schoolchildren and wounded two in a

To add insult to injury, the colonial-apartheid Caucasian Boers (white 
minorities and their paid-up minions) thoroughly exploit a perceived loophole 
in the constitution, that of “minority rights”. Their attacks on the ANC, its 
government and its structures as “reverse racists”, “corrupt black Africans, 
unfit for their positions they now hold, incapable of self-government, let 
alone governing the country” are strategic, race-based and vicious. 

And, they win their days in the courts against popular historic war-songs of 
the ANC. This flies in the face of “national reconciliation”. Th

PROFESSOR JOHN GLOVER JACKSON AND THE INTRODUCTION TO AFRICAN CIVILIZATIONS: A 
FOREWORD

BY RUNOKO RASHIDI

“This book is about the history of Africa from the origin of man to the present 
time. This is not just another book on African history. It is, in my opinion, 
one of the best books that has so far been written on this subject.”
--John Henrik Clarke

It gives me great pleasure to contribute the Foreword to the new edition of 
Introduction to African Civilizations. Both John G. Jackson and John Henrik 
Clark were icons to me, and major contributors to my life as a historian. Since 
Dr. Clarke has provided an excellent overview of the book in the Introduction, 
here I would like to try to put the work in a kind of context and provide a bit 
of biographical data on the men involved.

John Glover Jackson, one of our greatest cultural historians, was born on April 
1, 1907, in Aiken, South Carolina. Never short of cutting remarks, Jackson 
would sometimes say that “I was born on April Fool’s Day, and I’ve been a fool 
ever since!” Obviously, this was not the case.

At the age of fifteen Jackson moved from South Carolina to Harlem, New York, 
where he entered Stuyvesant High School. During his student days he began to do 
historical research and was soon writing short essays about African-American 
history and culture. These essays were impressive enough that in 1925, while 
still a high school student, he was invited to write articles for Marcus 
Garvey’s newspaper, the Negro World.

In addition to these growing activities as a writer, in 1930 Jackson became a 
lecturer at both the Ingersoll Forum and the Harlem Unitarian Church. Among his 
teachers and associates during this formative phase of his life were Hubert 
Henry Harrison (whom Jackson would later refer to as the “Black Socrates”), 
Arthur Alfonso Schomburg (the great bibliophile and founder of the Schomburg 
Library), Joel Augustus Rogers (a journalist and master historian who probably 
did more to popularize African history than any scholar of the twentieth 
century), and Dr. Willis Nathaniel Huggins (a chief mentor to both John G. 
Jackson and John Henrik Clarke).

Willis Nathaniel Huggins, a little known figure today, but without whom 
Introduction to African Civilizations might never have been written, was born 
February 7, 1886, in Selma, Alabama. Huggins comes boldly to us as one of the 
most active African-American scholars and supporters of Ethiopia after its 
invasion and occupation by Italian fascists from 1935 to 1941. Indeed, 
beginning in 1935, Dr. Huggins was named executive director of the 
International Council of the Friends of Ethiopia and was commissioned to 
deliver an appeal on behalf of Ethiopia to the League of Nations in Geneva, 
Switzerland.

This is a critical and insufficiently documented phase in the saga of African 
people and Jackson was always anxious to point it out and discuss it. In 1932, 
Jackson became the Associate Director of the Blyden Society. Named after Edward 
Wilmot Blyden, one of the outstanding African-American leaders of the 
nineteenth century, the Blyden Society acted most gallantly as an Ethiopian 
support group.

Among the very early and most talented students to come out of the Blyden 
Society was Dr. John Henrik Clarke. Professor Jackson had a remarkable memory, 
possessed a keen sense of humor, and enjoyed sharing his life story with those 
he thought could appreciate it. One mid-1980s afternoon in Chicago he told me 
that:

“Rogers introduced me to Dr. Willis Nathaniel Huggins who had a B.A. from the 
University of Chicago, an M.A. from Columbia University, a Ph.D. from Fordham 
University, and he did historical research at Oxford University in England. 
Around 1932, Dr. Huggins established a little group to study African history at 
the Harlem YMCA. He called the group the Blyden Society. After Rogers 
introduced me, he asked me to join it. He was Director. He made me Associate 
Director. Among our students were Bayard Rustin and John Henrik Clarke. Rustin 
decided to pull out and join the communists. Clarke was writing poetry. He told 
me that I changed his life. He said that he was wasting his time writing 
poetry, which only a damn fool would write. Huggins and I told him that he 
should be a historian. He says that we put him on the right track.”

In 1934, along with Dr. Huggins, Jackson wrote A Guide to the Study of African 
History: Directive Lists for Schools and Clubs. In 1937, the same team wrote An 
Introduction to African Civilizations with Main Currents in Ethiopian History. 
The latter work, a direct precursor of the present text, was actually publi

AFRICAN PEOPLE ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO INHABIT EUROPE.

THE CLEAREST IDENTIFIABLE AFRICOID SKELETAL REMAINS IN EUROPE ARE THE GRIMALDI 
SKELETONS.

THE CIVILIZATION CALLED MINOAN CRETE IS THE FIRST CIVILIZATION IN EUROPE.

[PAYCO] Poverty levels in Venezuela headed for zero per cent – Chavez

VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez
VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez has said his country will defeat the
poverty still afflicting a good number of the population.

Seeing off the Venezuelan national team heading for the 9th Medellin-2010
(Colombia) South American Games at his Miraflores Palace, President Chavez
said under his administration, poverty levels in Venezuela were headed for
zero per cent.

He said eradicating poverty remained the top priority of his government.
“There will be no poverty in Venezuela…that is one of my utmost pledges,” he
said, according to the Venezuelan news agency ABN. “The progress achieved
since my taking office in 1999 allow envisaging good results in the
eradication of poverty.”

He said back in 1996 poverty affected 70 per cent of the population and
extreme poverty affected 40 per cent.

“But in 2009 those figures dropped to 23.8 per cent and 5.9 per cent
respectively and are heading to zero,” President Chavez said.

He said poverty must be eliminated and that that barrier to development
would be overcome.
The leftist leader said the battle for this year was energy saving following
a severe drought.

President Chavez said the executive would do all it could to overcome
electricity deficit.
Low water levels in dams compound Venezuela's situation.

Although Venezuelan is a petroleum giant, it chiefly relies on hydroelectric
power generation.
President Chavez asked the nation to save power and stressed the importance
of replacing 50 million incandescent light bulbs this year.

He said Venezuela would incorporate some 5,900 megawatts to the national
power grid this year.

lest we forget..
.
*"being colonized by a language has larger implications for one's
consciousness"
 - frantz fanon*



*Frantz Fanon ***


Frantz Fanon's relatively short life yielded two potent and influential
statements of anti-colonial revolutionary thought, *Black Skin, White
Masks*(1952) and
*The Wretched of the Earth*
(1961), works which have made Fanon a prominent contributor to postcolonial
studies.
Fanon was born in 1925, to a middle-class family in the French colony of
Martinique. He left Martinique in 1943, when he volunteered to fight with
the Free French
in World War II, and he remained in France after the war to study medicine
and psychiatry on scholarship in Lyon. Here he began writing political
essays and plays, and he married a Frenchwoman, Jose Duble. Before he left
France, Fanon had already published his first analysis of the effects of
racism and colonization, *Black Skin, White Masks* (*BSWM*),
originally titled "An Essay for the Disalienation of Blacks," in part based
on his lectures and experiences in Lyon.
*BSWM* is part manifesto, part analysis; it both presents Fanon's personal
experience as a black intellectual in a whitened world and elaborates the
ways in which the colonizer/colonized relationship is normalized as
psychology. Because of his schooling and cultural background, the young
Fanon conceived of himself as French, and the disorientation he felt after
his initial encounter with French racism decisively shaped his psychological
theories about culture. Fanon inflects his medical and psychological
practice
with the understanding that racism generates harmful psychological
constructs
that both blind the black man to his subjection to a universalized white
norm and alienate his consciousness. A racist culture prohibits
psychological
health in the black man.

For Fanon, being colonized by a
languagehas larger
implications for one's consciousness: "To speak . . . means above
all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization" (17-18).
Speaking French means that one accepts, or is coerced into accepting, the
collective consciousness of the French, which identifies blackness with
evil and sin. In an attempt to escape the association of blackness with
evil, the black man dons a white mask, or thinks of himself as a universal
subject equally participating in a society that advocates an equality
supposedly
abstracted from personal appearance. Cultural values are internalized,
or "epidermalized" into consciousness, creating a fundamental disjuncture
between the black man's consciousness and his body. Under these conditions,
the black man is necessarily alienated from himself.
Fanon insists, however, that the category "white" depends for its stability
on its negation, "black." Neither exists without the other, and both come
into being at the moment of imperial conquest. Thus, Fanon locates the
historical point at which certain psychological formations became possible,
and he provides an important analysis of how historically-bound cultural
systems, such as the Orientalist discourse Edward Said describes, can
perpetuate

themselves as psychology. While Fanon charts the psychological oppression
of black men, his book should not be taken as an accurate portrait of the
oppression of black women under similar conditions. The work of feminists
in postcolonial studies undercuts Fanon's simplistic and unsympathetic
portrait of the black woman's complicity in colonization.

[PAYCO] Why Your Press Release Didn't Work

[Sbusiso Xaba]

*From:* BlackPR.com 
*Sent:* Friday, February 05, 2010 10:20 AM
*To:* sendmeyournews
*Subject:* Why Your Press Release Didn't Work

*Why Your Press Release Didn't Work*

First off, you can't assume that your press release didn't work because you
didn't hear from anybody. Many newspapers and magazines will publish your
press release without telling you.

Secondly, many radio stations will briefly mention the content of your press
release on-air without telling you.

Generally, you are only contacted if there is a problem with your press
release, if you are needed for an interview, or if there are some unanswered
questions.

With all that said, it still is possible for a press release to simply not
work.

Here are some potential reasons:

*1) Wasn't newsworthy*
Perhaps, your press release did not have national appeal. Maybe it meant
something to you, but nothing to others. Next time, make sure your press
release is meaningful enough to get used.

*2) Was too long*
Maybe your press release took up too much space. It may have been considered
for placement, but simply wouldn't fit in the space allowed. Next time, keep
your press release short - no longer than 1 page.

*3) Had too many typos and grammatical errors*
Newspapers prefer to copy and paste your press release into their format
without having to edit it. If your press release is poorly written and
involves too much editing, it's easier for them to just find another press
release. Next time, use spellcheck.

*4) Not enough consistency*
Like anything else, the human brain responds to consistency and branding. If
you send a press release out once a year, you are not building your brand
amongst journalists and bloggers. Try sending a press release out every 1-2
months, and they will be more likely to recognize you and/or company.


*BlackPR.com is the premier service for distributing press releases to the
African American media. The cost is only $150.*

EXEMPLARY activist and martyr : PAC founder Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe



February is one of the most important months in the history of the South
African-Azanian liberation struggle.

During this month we mark the brutal murder of Onkgopotse Ramothibi Abram
Tiro, the Black Consciousness student leader who laid the foundation of the
June 16 1976 people’s popular revolt, and also the death of one of Africa’s
most illustrious sons, Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe.

Sobukwe was the founder of the Pan-Africanist Congress.

He was a leader who led by example, choosing to demonstrate that in everyday
life and also in the way he conducted himself in his political life. It
could have been easy for him to live a different kind of life.

A life removed from the rigours and tribulations that is black life,
considering he had succeeded in finding his way into the then prestigious
University of Witwatersrand as a lecturer in African Languages where
students and the larger African community affectionately bestowed on him the
title the institution could not give to him: “professor”.

Poet, author, former political prisoner and respected member of the ANC
Breyten Breytenbach, now living in self-exile in France, wrote a critique of
the Mandela era in December 2008 : “But of course I believe that with an
accountable leadership and the full and recognised participation of what
used to be known as ‘live forces’ among the population, this continent can
be turned around, and with it South Africa.

“Our dreams can be realised – and when I say this I have the examples of
Steve Biko and Robert Sobukwe very much in mind.”

*Courageous *

The question is: what sets Biko and Sobukwe apart from today’s “misleaders”?

Sobukwe was different from today’s leaders. Friend and foe alike tell a
story of a dignified leader who did not wince in front of the white racist
power structure. Students at the university often took time to go to listen
to the courageous man clad in khaki clothes. They held him in great awe.
This included the wife of former president Thabo Mbeki, Zanele Mbeki.

Sobukwe was a true Pan- Africanist who believed in the greatness of Africa
and the struggle for the unity of its people.

As a student leader at Fort Hare he urged graduating students to “remember
Africa” – eloquently pointing out to the graduates how their education would
be in vain and meaningless if it failed to serve the greater good of
liberating Africa from colonial rule.

This was an early indication of the thoughts that were to define Robert
Mangaliso Sobukwe.

In later life his passion for Africa, the love of its people and the
struggle against colonial rule would literally consume his life.

Sobukwe was part of the militant, radical leadership that emerged in the ANC
Youth League in the 1940s and transformed a politically haemorrhaging ANC
into a fighting liberation movement that launched the Defiance Campaign in
1952 .

Sobukwe became an embodiment of the wisdom that says it is the
responsibility of the oppressed themselves to launch and lead a fight
against oppression. He rejected the leadership position of the white
liberals, some of whom had taken cover in the Congress of Democrats. Sobukwe
felt it was the responsibility of African people to lead their own struggle.

*One race*

This particular stance created many enemies for him. But Sobukwe was not a
racist. He is the one who eloquently pointed out that there was only one
race, the human race - besides he had no economic power to lever on other
people for his own economic gain. Racists could not forgive him for taking
away from them what they believed to be their God- given right, that is, to
lead all African people.

Sobukwe was an uncompromising Pan-Africanist and his ideology found
resonance with other African leaders such as Kwame Nkrumah and Julius
Nyerere . By its own admission the apartheid regime feared Sobukwe more than
any other leader at the time.

The Sharpeville massacre became a defining moment for him.

He was arrested and sent to Robben Island, where he served three years, but
the racist regime piloted an amendment in the act of law for just one person
– known as the Sobukwe Clause – that gave them the power to incarcerate him
for a further seven years . The white racist parliament was told how
“dangerous, influential and charismatic” Sobukwe was.

Sobukwe was greatly loved by all. After the announcement of his death,
elderly people could not hold back their tears. They let go in a manner most
unusual.

Despite the years in prison, the banning orders and unending harassment ,
the star of Sobukwe did not fade . He had warned of betrayal saying

Sudan and the hereafter

According to Gamal Nkrumah, though the scenario of a divided Sudan looms large 
over 2020, the call for unity will not be forgotten 

 - - - - - -


Not long ago, Sudan was one country; today it is four -- the Caliphate of 
Khartoum, Azania or Southern Sudan, Darfur and Napata (Nubia). The Beja people 
of eastern Sudan also want to form their own independent political entity. By 
most accounts, the summer of 2020 has been blistering for all governments, 
elected or otherwise, of the Nile Valley states. 

As the international community hesitates to interfere in the domestic affairs 
of the states that once constituted Sudan, the rulers of the Nile Valley 
nations also drag their feet. There is little political incentive in changing 
the status quo. When Sudan was one country, the Sudanese had many problems. 
There were problems of freedoms or the lack of them, of democracy or the dearth 
of it.

Today, the Caliphate of Khartoum is a bastion of militant Islam in Africa. 
Islamist clerics manipulate the levers of power from behind the scenes. 
Turbaned fanatics run the economically ruined country. The once prosperous 
capital Khartoum has fallen on hard times. Per capita income is one of the 
lowest in Africa; economic growth has grounded to an abrupt halt. The ruling 
religious clique, evidently, has failed miserably to end the unconscionable 
poverty of their subjects. 

Secularist Azania, in sharp contrast, has managed to keep oil wealth in the 
resource-rich country and to improve the standards of living of the people of 
what used to be called southern Sudan.

Napata, or Nubia, is a secular nation, and only 10 per cent of the population 
describe themselves as religious. Some Nubians have reverted to the 
Christianity of their forefathers. Others, demanding that their country be 
officially renamed Kush, have abandoned monotheistic religions altogether in 
favour of the worship of the gods of ancient Egypt, in particular Amon-Re and 
Isis, even though Hathor in a recent poll is said to have a considerable 
following.

Temples dedicated to the ancient gods are being erected at lightning speed, 
much to the chagrin of the clerics of Khartoum. The hurried jumble is partly 
due to the determination by Nubians to attract foreign visitors -- tourists and 
investors. 

Azania is an officially secular state. However, Christianity and traditional 
African religions vie for supremacy among the economic and political elite of 
the new, multi-ethnic nation. As a major oil exporter, land-locked Azania is 
poised to become one of Africa's fastest growing economies with double digit 
growth rate figures. Massive irrigation schemes, including the Jongolei Canal, 
promise to make the country the breadbasket of the African continent. Many 
northern Sudanese are claiming Azanian nationality, abandoning the arid 
wastelands of the north for greener pastures in the south.

Does this matter? Of course, it does. With desertification taking its deadly 
toll on development in the north, the people of the Caliphate of Khartoum are 
hard pressed to believe in the hereafter. 

The caliph of Khartoum, a descendant of Al-Mahdi, has publicly stated that he 
has designs on Hejaz, across the Red Sea. So far, arguments over the caliph's 
bid have been strictly commercial. Khartoum is proposing exporting Nile water 
to its ideological allies in the Arabian Peninsula in exchange for oil. The 
caliph of Khartoum has also proffered some kind of union with Arabia. But 
details on this plan are worryingly vague. How he reached this position is a 
mystery many Sudanese are trying to unravel.

This may be a politically astute plan by the caliph of Khartoum in a part of 
the world lured by sirens of religious nationalism. Tribal chieftains claiming 
descent from the Prophet Mohamed hurried to pay obeisance to the caliph and 
acclaimed him as their overlord. 

How surprising, then, that there have been so few howls of disapproval from the 
virulently anti-Islamist regimes in Napata and Azania. On the other hand, 
Darfur, which is overwhelmingly Muslim, is toying with the idea of 
reunification with Khartoum. The disputed sprawling the Province of Kordofan is 
as yet undecided as to its political future. Arab tribes in Kordofan favour 
unification with Khartoum, the people of the Nuba Mountains wish to join 
Azania. 

The strategically located Darfur in the heart of the African continent; life in 
this nascent democracy is not exactly luxurious in spite of the discovery of 
oil. The country, r

Re: [PAYCO] Ideology

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Izwe lethu, iAfrika

I do not see why we should look for the difference between the socialist in
other parties. If socialist from various parties including ours have used
the same instruments of analysis, obviously should come to the
same conclusions.

It clear to me that PAC consciously chose politics of interest rather
than dogmas. The PAC has as its expressed primary interest to create just a
society free of exploitation, exploitation of African people
specifically and exploitation of humanity in general. Socialist theory
propagate for this interest in general and Africanism as crafted by our
party propagate for the specifics of African people.

The African workers (selling their labour or not) are largest component of
African society therefore must be concious of their interest, assert their
will and promote the social structure they desire. This both Africanism and
Socialism therefore no contradictions.


There is no contradiction except in dogmatism of two. We need to craft
resolutions (a series of  each everything that we assume extremist of
Nationalism or extremist of Socialism in our party. I assure you that you
will see us not differing according to those tendencies.

The first task of the use leadership should be to establish a proper
resolution register and database for us to pronounce on every stance and cut
this debate on ideology.

THE DRIVERS OF BRAIN
DRAIN<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/wordpress/ciBM/~3/VrYxAKWrXE8/>

Posted: 22 Oct 2009 11:26 PM PDT

[image: The brain drain]

The brain drain

Many developing and underdeveloped countries are suffering from the brain
drain phenomenon. African countries in particular are loosing people with
technical qualifications and experience that have been acquired through
enormous public funds. It is worth noting that macroeconomic factors and
political dynamics are widely mentioned while micro-economic factors remain
hidden on the blind spot of social commentary. It is at micro-economic level
where factors such as white supremacy, foolishness and leadership ineptitude
are conspicuously glaring.

European descendants in Africa are radically opposed to follow African
leadership. Their conviction to white supremacy presumptions compel them to
emigrate rather that submitting to African majority rule. They cannot allow
affirmative action to compromise their integrity. Their racist ideological
obsession will not let them accept supervision and management by a ‘kaffir’.

It is without fear of contradiction to pronounce that emigration of these
people does not translate to brain drain as most of them are merely highly
glorified clerks. They have held technical positions for a long time but do
not necessary possess technical skills. The real technical skills claimed by
emigrants and real work experience are held by some unrecognized African
worker on the shop-floor. These white supremacists have not been working.
They have been maintaining the parasitic relationship with African labour.
The statistics of failed emigration or return from overseas voyage confirm
inability to perform real work.

Foolishness is highly prevalent among Africans holding certificates and
degrees. The reason for this is that African governments expanded colonial
education instead of reviewing it. Post colonial education system in Africa
is still promoting white supremacy thus failing to remove foolishness from
an African child. Foolishness is being commonly defined as a lack of
capacity to consider facts, analyze information and make a proper judgment.
This foolishness manifests itself through a value system of extreme love for
money, mercenary mentality, overindulgence on entertainment and extreme
selfishness.

African professionals leave their countries with the illusion that they will
make it big financially without considering the cost of living in the host
country. This result in failure to escape the rat race, retarding their
technical competency growth in the process and kills any potential to leave
a legacy. It is silly for a doctor from Africa to move to be a waiter in
some European village in name of making more money. This has great
devastation on African taxpayers’ education and training investment made on
these intellectually underdeveloped professionals.

Brain drain trends are further driven by poor workplace leadership. Good
leadership seeks success from the environment rather from the blood of their
followers. The majority of workplace leaders are incompetent but workplace
culture allows them to abuse their positions to shift blame to their
subordinate. Management decision, process of decision making and
communication of decision are biggest destroyers of morale in the workplace.

Improvement of productivity is a function of management not workers.
Workplace productivity is not about working harder but rather is about
working smarter. The design of work environment, allocation of resources and
choice of technology are at the core of process that improves workplace
productivity. The work environment in Africa is very harsh, job security is
low, proper working tools are not available and working hours are long yet
remuneration is low. It results in low quality of life for the worker while
the capitalist sucks their blood dry.

Africa needs diverse set of skills to propel highly required for economic
and social development. Workplace leaders need to shape up, socialisation
processes like education need to be Africanised, raise national
consciousness and adopt collective approach to ownership of means of
production whereas white supremacy must be totally crushed to realise total
emancipation.

THE ILLUSION OF LOGIC IN WORKPLACE REMUNERATION FORMULA

Posted: 21 Sep 2009 05:00 AM PDT
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/wordpress/ciBM/~3/hAePGd0wsdA/


Human capital experts tell the world that the payment structure in a
workplace is based on a logical formula consisting of complex variables
namely the function complexity, skill scarcity, skill criticality,
undesirability, risk, accountability and responsibility. It is rational
expectation that the higher the indicator on a variable the higher the
compensation.
It is also sensible to conclude that work experience and academic
qualifications assist the recruiters to determine the best candidate for
the position. This skill and credential matrix is forwarded in
sophisticated microeconomic platforms as the foundation for the
remuneration system.
The majority of workplace participants believe that the current
remuneration structure is natural. It is accepted as the only way to
determine appropriate remuneration. The corporate captains and industry
bosses on the top of the remuneration scale vow that they perform the most
complex functions. They say they possess the scarcest skills and hold the
highly undesirable jobs. It is their strong view that their position put
them in the highest category of health, emotional and physical risk. It is
killing a sacred cow to question superiority of accountability and
responsibility levels of members at the top of industry echelon. But is
this myth really true?
There are many examples that can be used to illustrate unscientific design
of remuneration packages. It is highly tempting to pick secretarial and
management function but let’s use technical jobs of a Cleaner and an
Accountant as an example. It is fascinating to put a public toilet Cleaner
and an Accountant on pay fairness scale using the stated logical matrix of
human resource management. The current unnatural remuneration structure is
clear that the Accountant must be paid many times over.
The function complexity index of a Cleaner indicate repetitiveness and
organising physical space while an Accountant is involved mainly in putting
figures into correct pigeon hole and using basic arithmetic of addition and
subtraction. There is high scarcity of Accountants, although a view is held
that many people do an accounting function very well, and Cleaners are
highly available. The scarcity of Accountants is created by professional
body governance of accounting profession whereas cleaners have no
governance in place.
The workplace cannot expect to survive without an accounting function. It
will mean financial chaos. Accounting is also a public function with huge
impact on internal and external stakeholder relationship. Thus this
function is highly critical. No organisation can do without a cleaning
function.
The cleaning function has huge motivating factor to employees and set a
tone for external stakeholder’s relationship. Most people will choose
neither of two jobs. When forced to choose, it is likely that accounting
will find more participants than cleaning. The functions are equally
undesirable. The risk is much higher for cleanliness, especially hygiene
and health. The easy and subjective measurements of the Cleaner’s output
reduce job security, thus increasing risks factor.
Accountability and responsibility is generally assumed to tip on the side
of Accountants. This wide held assumption is also highly questionable.
Controller and owner of means of production will take the accountant view
extremely seriously. It is equally serious business for user of workplace
toilet to find it clean and ready. Cleaning is therefore also work with
high responsibility and accountability.
It is easy to make the same analysis that a Miner working underground
should be paid much higher than a Mine Manager on the surface. It is
therefore rational to conclude that the Cleaner and an Accountant should be
paid the same for equal unit of labour. The remuneration structure needs
fundamental change. It is not based on science but rather has its
foundation on greed, immorality and genuine abuse of power. Those paid to
design organisations give themselves higher compensation for no scientific
reasons.
This illogical distribution of wealth that is inconsistent with creation of
value is the integral part of the capitalist system. The capitalist system
is based on parasitic relationship and sustained by artificial illusions.

[PAYCO] Various reasons behind SWANU’s shortcoming s - by Theo-Ben Gurirab

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Comrades

I have come across this analysis. It should be acknowledged that it is not
written by independent observer. I was asking myself what lesson can learnt
by our party? How did PAC do on measure of six element in which SWANU
failed?  Why is PAC almost in same position as SWANU? What did ZANU do
differently to change in disadvantage of being outside the "Authentic Six"
or "Big Six"? Please share your thoughts on critical questions.

I noted two things the danger of being drunk by history (victories and/or
victimisation) and importance of programme of action as driver of party
business.

http://www.newera.com.na/article.php?articleid=6784#mytop

• Helping to Clarify Background
The past week was eventful and stressful by nature of human imponderables,
particularly for those of the political universe. We have had to contend
with Monday morning quarterbacking of opinion makers and news reporters,
sliding sideways from earlier pontificating and focusing anew onwards
forecasting on the make-up of the next National Assembly and Cabinet. That’s
human nature.

The youth themselves have been cracking heads, wondering about half-full or
half-empty results SWAPO Electoral College handed them. Nature’s bequeath is
for youth to emerge victorious always. Benefit of time with luck works –
this from senior youth himself who knows.

SWAPO Party put up public extravaganza of eminence as a people’s movement,
with confidence of assured victory at the polls come November 2009. SWAPO
Party besieged the public with a pragmatic Election Manifesto and an
impressive, winning list of candidates for the National Assembly,
confidently forward-looking and scrupulously balanced – default on women
candidates notwithstanding.

The Presidency is, let’s be serious, a done deal, the incumbent is going
nowhere; except anticipating shopping around for furniture needed for State
House living quarters. Matters of State enjoy his undivided attention.
President Pohamba made a clarion call for hard work and the bandwagon is
moving on and picking up voters on the way. That’s the way.

In between, I have managed reading a New Era opinion piece, “Genesis of
Namibian political intolerance” of 4 September 2009. The co-authors are Dr
R. Kandango, SWANU Party Chairperson and Tonata Angombe, SWANU Party Youth
League Acting Leader. This my latest writing is really in a nutshell about
that latest SWANU intellectual offering. The above was more in nature of
curtain raising and warming up.

I found nothing new or redeeming in that article and wondering what urges
intelligent minds to keep on returning to the scurrilous dump of years gone
by when opportunities for redemption readily abounded for everybody. I am
really astounded to say the least.

The centerpiece of their complaint, a pathological ritual for SWANU, is the
alleged injustice against it in favour of SWAPO’s real deal of the 1970s by
the United Nations. That being recognition of SWAPO as “the sole and
authentic representative of the struggling Namibian people”.

What the United Nations did and rightly so was its multilateral decision by
different UN member states consistent with resolutions and declarations over
a long period of time, both in the General Assembly and Security Council. I
happen to know this more than most. I was there as part of the process. My
compatriots were otherwise engaged elsewhere and missed the boat. This will
be demonstrated in due course as I proceed.

My account will, however, not be coherent and topical if I didn’t pick up
the story from Windhoek Old Location in the 1950s.

There were amazing factors of convergence, on the one hand, and of
antagonism, specifically at the time when Hendrik Verwoerd took over the
apartheid regime and further entrenched vicious policies of racial
discrimination, bantustans, police brutality, influx control, group areas
acts, and separate development. A breeding ground for confrontation was
created.

That decade exacerbated contradictions of race relations and opened up a
wider space for political agitation and resistance in black neighbourhoods.
I am not writing history but creating a context engendered by that political
awakening.

A two-way traffic of communication between Namibians in South Africa and
those back home was developing and spreading. That started a process of
political education and knowledge sharing towards progressive nationalism
and consciousness-raising.

Ghana’s independence in 1957 followed adoption of the Freedom Charter in
South Africa in 1956, Pan-Africanists split away from the ANC, and not least
Garveyism’s creeping in clandestine ways into the country spurred heightened
interests.

Nearby Windhoek, Augustineum (Okahandja) and Döbra boasted of many hundreds
of black students who were receptive to such influence and coupled with
interesting stories brought by midnight contacts from Windhoek or Walvis
Bay, stimulated excitement in our minds. I belong to that bunch of targeted
audience, like many others of my gen

Mutambara gets schooled by African leaders

Herald reporter 

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:03:00 +

DEPUTY Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara drew the ire of African leaders 
yesterday when he suggested that no African leader had a brand worth selling 
where national visions are concerned, and that to be acceptable, the leaders 
and their countries needed Western endorsement.

Sources said DPM Mutambara, who was presenting a paper on "Strategies for 
integrating innovations in public service", had to leave the conference hall in 
a huff after the leaders, one after the other, wished Zimbabwe well should he 
ever assume the presidency.

The sources said the DPM’s presentation appeared to be going well, up to the 
point he appeared to suggest that Africa should be a chattel of the West.

"What is Mugabe’s brand, what is Museveni’s brand, what is Kikwete’s brand? If 
a brand is to succeed it should be endorsed by the outsiders. Africa cannot 
endorse her own brand, Mugabe cannot endorse his own brand, Museveni can- not 
endorse his own brand, Kikwete cannot endorse his own brand. We need BBC, you 
need CNN, you need SkyNews to do it," Ugandan sources who attended the plenary 
quoted DPM Mutambara as saying.

The sources said DPM Mutambara then said Zimbabwe had no capacity to develop 
its resources without input from the West.

"On mining we do not have capacity, we are workers, our capacity is Chiadzwa. 
We need people with technology, from England, from America," he charged as he 
concluded his speech.

The sources said host President Yoweri Museveni promptly stood up and 
challenged the presentation.

"Young man, your presentation smacks of a serious inferiority complex," the 
Ugandan leader was quoted as saying. 

"You say you need endorsement from the West yet there is a whole world ranged 
against us. If you think there will come a time when Africa will get the 
support of the Western world, you are mistaken.

"Think of China, how it was demonised until they made money on their own 
effort, now they are a big brand not because the West said yes, but because 
China said no."

The Ugandan leader then cited the example of Malaysia that followed the Chinese 
development model.

He drew the Deputy Prime Minister’s attention to the situation in India saying: 
"Now the West, Europe cannot ignore India, not because India was their darling 
in the past, but because India stood by its own principles.

"Look at Venezuela right now, they are being demonised, but they are working 
with a clear sense of self-conviction and confidence, and things will come 
right. So, we have a saying that when you winnow, you remove seed from chaff, 
you do not take everything. If ever you become a president with these kinds of 
ideas, then God help Zimbabwe."

Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete then took the floor and echoed his Ugandan 
counterpart’s words saying he did not know whether to attribute Deputy Prime 
Minister Mutambara’s presentation to youthfulness or some unknown condition.

"I don’t know whether its youthfulness or what, but this young man does not 
seem to know that there is no good story that comes out of Africa to CNN, BBC, 
SkyNews. 

"When you want a good story to come out of Africa, you pay for it. Tanzania had 
to pay 40 million shillings to simply get a good story out of Africa to BBC, 
they simply don’t want a good story out of us. If one day you become a 
president, we wish you well with these ideas," the Tanzanian leader said.

Zambian leader Rupiah Banda then drew the Deputy Prime Minister’s attention to 
the history of Zimbabwe saying: "I want to be historic, I want to be direct, 
the basis of the demonisation of Zimbabwe is not failure to rebrand, it is 
rooted in the land question. Let’s not humour each other here. We are talking 
about a culture of land use, not inability to present a pretty picture of 
Zimbabwe."

DPM Mutambara laughed off the exchange last night saying everything was done in 
a spirit of debate, and the exchange had been taken out of context.

"The debate we had was a healthy debate, you know this was a dialogue. I was 
saying we need to have a product worth branding, you need success stories as 
you can’t endorse yourself. The tourists who come to our countries do not watch 
Uganda Broadcasting Corporation, they do not watch ZBC, the tourists watch 
international media channels like CNN and BBC. Where is Africa’s international 
channel?

"The second issue was on our challenges, what is the problem in Africa? Why 
does Africa appear stagnant?

"We agree that there are endogenous and exogenous factors, we spend too much 
time on the external, what about the internal? But my presentation covered 
quite a lot of

AFRICANISM AND CULTURE

(EXCERPT OF SPEECH GIVEN AT THE CONGRESS OF AFRICANISTS)

By KWAME NKRUMAH

(ACCRA, GHANA--DECEMBER 1962)

"We have made our contribution to the fund of human knowledge by

extending the frontiers of art, culture and spiritual values."

-- Dr. Kwame Nkrumah

If we have lost touch with what our forefathers discovered and knew,

this has been due to the system of education to which we were
introduced.

This system of education prepared us for a subservient role to Europe
and things

European. It was directed at estranging us from our own cultures in
order the

more effectively to serve a new and alien interest.

The central myth in the mythology surrounding Africa is that of the

denial that we are a historical people. It is said that whereas other
continents

have shaped history and determined its course, Africa has stood
still, held down

by inertia. Africa, it is said, entered history only as a result of
European

contact. Its history, therefore, is widely felt to be an extension of
European

history. Hegel's authority was lent to this a-historical hypothesis

concerning Africa. And apologists of colonialism and imperialism lost
little time in

seizing upon it and writing wildly about it to their heart's content.

To those who say that there is no documentary source for that period

of African history which pre-dates the European contact, modern
research has a

crushing answer. We know that we were not without a tradition of

historiography, and, that this is so, is now the verdict of true
Africanists. African

historians, by the end of the 15th century, had a tradition of
recorded history,

and certainly by the time when Mohamud al-Kati wrote Tarikh
al-Fattash. This

tradition was incidentally much, much wider than that of the Timbuktu
school of

historians, and our own Institute of African Studies here at this
University, is

bringing to light several chronicles relating to the history of
Northern Ghana.

The Chinese, too, during the T'ang dynasty (AD. 618-907), published

their earliest major records of Africa. In the 18th century,
scholarship

connected Egypt with China; but Chinese acquaintance with Africa was
not only

confined to knowledge of Egypt. They had detailed knowledge of
Somaliland,

Madagascar and Zanzibar and made extensive visits to other parts of
Africa.

The European exploration of Africa reached its height in the 19th

century. What is unfortunate, however, is the fact that much of the
discovery was

given a subjective instead of an objective interpretation. In the

regeneration of learning which is taking place in our universities
and in other

institutions of higher learning, we are treated as subjects and not
objects. They

forget that we are a historic people responsible for our unique forms
of

language, culture and society. It is therefore proper and fitting
that a Congress of

Africanists should take place in Africa and that the concept of
Africanism

should devolve from and be animated by that Congress.

Between ancient times and the 16th century, some European scholars

forgot what their predecessors in African Studies had known. This
amnesia, this

regrettable loss of interest in the power of the African mind,
deepened with

growth of interest in the economic exploitation of Africa. It is no
wonder

that the Portuguese were erroneously credited with having erected the
stone

fortress of Mashonaland which, even when Barbossa, cousin of
Magellan, first

visited them, were ruins of long standing.

[PAYCO] Re: Fwd: Fw: MR PK LEBALLO

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Izwe Lethu,

The PK mistake was fall from power. The fact that he did not relinquish
power but forced out power meant that his rivals always tell the story to
justified their action. The are big mistakes like letter that resulted 10
000 demise Poqo and major achievement of opening up training facilities in
many countries both in Azania and Lesotho liberation movements.

There were two competitive force in business of the PAC. Both useful and
should have complemented each other. The *competion for resources* between
the army and diplomats is interesting historical fact. PK was *baise towards
the army* and make diplomats extremely unhappy. Diplomats ultamately won the
control of the party.

His contribution to the *ideological development* of PAC from Nationalist
Movement towards "adapted Maoism" is worth look at.

I still have convinced that organisational experiance was lack but PK had
make and focus of great leader.

[PAYCO] Mmegi Online: Africa must revisit Marx and The Communist Manifesto

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Title: Mmegi Online: Africa must revisit Marx and The Communist Manifesto



			
			
			




Sbusiso Xaba thought you might be interested in this story from the Mmegi Online:

Africa must revisit Marx and The Communist Manifesto

As Africa searches for the redesign of the iniquitous economic and political relationship between itself and the Americans and Europeans, it would do no harm to reflect on the ageless proposals that Karl Marx makes in Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto, write RAMPHOLO MOLEFHE

Potlako Leballo – the Man Who Hurried to Meet his Destiny

Article author query

bolnick j
This is an account of the early life of a widely regarded hero of
resistance in South Africa who constantly betrayed the absurdity, the
hypocrisy, and the staggering human frailty of the modern leader. In
later years Potlako Kitchener Leballo also gained renown as a
mesmerising orator who lived to dramatise, to command the centre of
attention, to captivate listeners with impassioned stories. Having
grown up in a world of oral culture it is not surprising that he
expressed himself best in the spoken rather than the written word.
Leballo's autobiographical sketches, which have been recorded
piecemeal by numerous authors, are festooned with exaggerations,
illusions, and ambiguities. However, he was an intelligent fabricator
of information, with a talent for fitting a story into its appropriate
context. This alone makes him an exciting subject for a biography,
since the reconstruction of his life and its links to the social
structure provide stiff tests for
 the sleuthing and analytical skills of the researcher.
Footnotes

Conference, Pretoria. Potlako roughly translates as ‘One who is in a
hurry’, Leballo as ‘Destiny’

[PAYCO] Sad News

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Izwe Luthu, iAfrika

It is with sadness to inform comrades about the passing away of Cde
Bongiwe Gqweta from East London. She was one  of pillars of PAC in
that region and key leader of PAYCO in Eastern Cape for many year. Her
contribution development of PAYCO nationally was immense.

The funeral will be held on the 4th of April 2009, eMdatshane NU9.

[PAYCO] Re: Introspection

[Sbusiso Xaba]

Izwe Lethu,

I must say that I am very *disappointment *at leadership of PAYCO (President
excluded) for not answering to these insinuations. I am talking about
National, Provincial and Regional leadership which is on this forum.

I know for the fact that *Limpopo* had many exiting community projects were
actively launching PASMA branches in rural campuses (TUT and Colleges) and
campaigned to lead PAC Province (IOTA) there. I know that the provincial
leadership in the *Northern Cape* has keeping President highly exited with
their level of growth and organisational development (participation) hence
the confidence requesting to host high national gathering. I know that
President has been invited by different PAYCO constituencies in *KZN*.
APLAMVA (many of members within PAYCO age group) in *Free State* was
organised and serviced by PAYCO leadership.The *Western Cape* had some of
exiting campaigns in schools until IOTA call on some comrade to lead PAC
Cape Metro.  I do not have information about *Eastern Cape*.
*Mpumalanga*continue to support rural campuses of PASMA to grow and
sustain themselves
under various request from Provincial leadership of PASMA. Member of PAYCO
in *Gauteng* have been actively engaged in building PAC regions in similar
manner as PAYCO in Western Cape. PAYCO has been putting and sustaining the
PAC in new areas like Randburg, Fourway and Lanzeria watch this space. *North
West* remain area of opportunities not exploited by PAYCO yet.

PAYCO is current preparing to host a international reparations conference to
be held in City Hall of Tshwane on 22 - 26 September 2009. It is inform the
conferences the are sitting to build popular support across the African
world with West Africa already convened, East Africa sitting in March, North
America convening in May and Southern Africa convening in Harare soon . It
host its own international talk show on Uhuru Radio. PAYCO (President in
particular) has facilitate and drafted constitutions for various Africanist
organisations outside Azania.

I cannot believe that anyone can doubt the existence of PAYCO beyond three
provinces. I challenge comrade to dispute my view that IOTA is well and
alive. PAYCO though it completed first phase in Qwaqwa but big set backs
followed. IOTA is on cause nationally - there are more young people
influencing the business of PAC is provinces and region that before IOTA
launching or Qwaqwa for that matter.

Comrade like Nofuma, Nkala, Gerald, Lesufi and others have convinced many
youth formations to adopt concept of Youth Ministry in various conferences.

The above work keep me assured about the future of the PAYCO and that of the
PAC. I have no reason to disgrantled.

I must say that in first NEC meeting of PAYCO after being elected President
- I banned discussion on launching of branches. Launching and supervision
branches in duty of regions, launching of regions is obligation of Province
and NEC is responsible for Provinces. NEC has is duties as member we coming
to National Conference\Congress to grill them. Comrades who need a branch
must form it themselves. The NEC can only give guidelines.

In conclusion we expect PAYCO leadership to defend our efforts when they are
under attack hence my disappointment.
