Delegitimizing the Foundations: Chaotic Perspectives

The current state of South African educational institutions is bringing a lot of this to the surface. Stay with us, there are many dots and we plan on joining a few for you here. The central theme is on policy, jurisprudence, law and how we validate and support bad practice every day with combinations of ignorance, apathy or choice.  

Fact is, the Bureaucratic System as designed by the fathers of Western Politics is not meant for the betterment of people. Anywhere! Black or otherwise. The nature of Western Economics and Western Academics is a joke imprinted on the African mind. These people must stop pretending that Karl Marx or Lenin is going to save them from Zuma, Rothschild or Queen Elizabeth. The work of the African, even Azanian is not going to be determined by Russians and Germans. At least I know a couple of people that won't allow it to be.
I say that these militant Pan-Africanists all over our social media are an important weapon against White supremacy.I am not a fan of racialism and abhor racism. Therefore I usually back away from looking at any situation through a racial lens. But there is a racial problem going on and it is not new. But we must not default to solutions that come from the nations that enslaved us. Ulimi lwethu lunomkhuba wokusebenzisa amazwi abanye, ngoba awethu alimele. Khona umuntu owafika wanquma imilenze yolimi lwethu, ezama ukulimaza izimpande. Khona singeke sikhulume ngolimi lwethu masilungisa nomasicabanga ngezinkinga zethu. Sengishilo, asiqhubeke khona iningi labantu likwazi ukuyifunda lendaba.

 We legitimize the systems of persecution. We legitimize the building of economic walls called banks. We legitimize bureaucratic trappings by complying to criminal tax laws. We are okay with kids growing up playing in landfills while some grow up with Xboxes and tablet phones. We legitimize disparity. Systems that CREATE the poor and poverty. That stretch the gap between haves and have-nots. We invented the police and now our invention is killing us. You have read myths where the master's creation turns on them and leaves home. Where the creation goes rogue. Well we need to look at these systems that we support. The fact is, the South African State Model as it stands is defunct. It is hanging by a thread and the public is meant to be ignorant of this. There is name-calling and backstabbing. This "revolutionary" is a pawn of White Capital while this "revolutionary" is the one we should follow. What is the truth, anymore? Whom then, do we obey? EFF or ANC or BLF or who?  

READ THEIR RHETORIC.  

They all speak the same language, up there. Their whole jargon is littered with European takes on what a good State is. Is it not a frightening fact that both Andile Mngxitama and Julius  Malema both called them selves Marxist-Leninist- Fanonians?
I do like the call "Land or Death." It is direct. It isn't overloaded with ideals and sentiments from Political Science 203. But look at how the South African plays the game. Too often, we are playing by non-African rules. Often we are not even playing African games. Rwandans play by French rules, Namibians by Dutch rules. You see it reflected in our courts of law. Zimbabweans playing by English rules, Kenyans playing byJapanese rules of commerce. South Africans playing by Chinese rules. You see it in our property dealings.  How we sell off commercial land for 1,2,3,4 Chinese malls bringing foreign products to our people. We are diverting Rands out and never in. Being rural = being poor. That's what it means. Because rural people do not own the land that grows the food we export and then buy back. The rural people don't own the Game Ranges that are synonymous with South African tourism. Rural people can't challenge the Chinese at getting an African mall or 2 of their own. The signings of bilateral agreements and trade jargon isn't working. Not here.   So please, don't go around slandering White people when you buy American film, music and clothing. When you click more on news about Donald Trump instead of news about Mandisa Mashego.
Who do you love? Your partner? Your job?Your country? Your peace?  This  country's law enforcers  shoot students instead of arresting the administration if the university instead? Consider: There are thousands of very angry students in universities all over ZA. And there are only a handful of Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors, Deans and Senior lecturers. How about coming in with the police boots, gas, vans and guns into the Vice-Chancelor's office. Call him/her to account publically. Tell him that our university is on fire and it's his fault. There are students outside crying about rape, racism, collonialism and the rest of patriarchy's ugly children. They are unhappy that YOU, the learned of the world, would miss the underlying tensions in YOUR ward. That you insist on supporting Western academic standards and don't even have a qualified person to mark Post-Doctorate African Spiritual Anthropology papers. The universities have been dire for much longer than the news reveals. If our police were any idea of justice, they would be serving a different law. Because the law that has been trained into our law facilitators is broken. Everyone knows it. But we haven't had a strike against the police, have we? We legitimize them. We call them when we are in trouble. We let me strip and search us. We walk into cages for them. The way we allow them access to our lives is warped. Legitimized state violence is one of the weaknesses and sins of Western Polity. It is nonsense,because when the chips are down, the police have not saved the nation from destruction. They bat for any team that pays them and keeps a gun in their holster.
And lastly, a short say on exports. I have recently learned that  the Eastern Cape exports beef carcasses out of our country to the value of $5 million a  payload.  Interesting thing is that there is not a single Black employee among  the people dealing with this trade. The hired guns, general crew from pilots to deckands  are all White. And exporting beef grown here on African soil. Crimes happen under the surface pf unilateral agreements and they are performed with impunity.

Do you see that these underlying things are a byproduct of our respect for the Western worldview? These banks, free trade agreements and weapons traders won't help is get our fertile land. Do you see that Africa's success lies not in destroying any racial group, but by destroying the exploitative systems that they embedded in African people? See it. There is a lot going on, but on the ground, it's about quality of life. And we all want excellence in that regard. And as Marcus Garvey said, "Africa for the Africans. Those at home amd those abroad." And as a word to all my radical readers: You need to revise your idea of revolution. Check your foundations. Revolution is revolting, really. It just goes in circles. Revisit. Revise.
