NELSON MANDELA SOLD US OUT AND THE ANC GOVERNMENT FOLLOWED THE WRONG PROGRAMME SINCE 1994

Nelson Mandela promised the people of South Africa that when he comes out of the prison, the nationalisation of mines will be a doctrine core in implementing a fastest growing economy in our country. The freedom charter even states that

"The national wealth of our country, the

heritage of South Africans, shall be restored to

the people; the mineral wealth beneath the soil;

the banks and monopoly industries shall be

transferred to the ownership of the people as a

whole; all other industries and trade shall be

controlled to assist the well-being of the

people," the charter states.

South africa was a black people's country, they was no white men within this country until the arrival of Jan Van Riebeck in 6 april 1652. 

Jan van Riebeeck established a

refreshment station at the Cape of Good Hope, at

what would become Cape Town, the dutch continue spreading this country after Jan van Riebeck approached companies and started importing slaves from countries like india and indonesia, thats how the indians also came to South Africa, as he went to south west, He met the Xhosa people in white river.

Jan Van riebeck started taking their livestock and land, the fight started and a lot of black xhosa people was killed by colonists. 

In 1838 the colonists reached the zululand, after the numerous occasions where they felt mistreated and abused by white people, zulus attacked their camp, with the help of their zulu king shaka, they expanded their territory into mfecane. 

White people continued with their inhuman behavior and attacked the ndebele people, under their king mzilikaze, this has expanded into a serious war, every people in the country became affected by colonist, people was taken away their righteous lands, livestock and became slaves of a white man.

Woman was raped and their men became a punching back of a white man. In 1867, a diamond was discovered in South Africa. And later in 1884 then gold was also discovered, mineral companies started operating, a man who benefited here was only white, and black men will dig up the diamond and gold to make their master richer. 

The anglo-zulu war was fought to make peace in the land, to make a white man give back what is rightfully owned by a black man, His countries assets. This was not going to happen according to white man. Sanction and racial seggregations rose and starting fuming up hate and disguize in a black man conscience.

Zulu people defeated british men under isandlwana, but white boer later resisted the fight using guerilla tactics. Later in the early 1913, South African black person was restricted the ownership of land in his own country "Native Land Act". 

White people shown a black man the real cruelty of the world, later 10 to 15 years, a law was passed that states that, a white man reserve a use and standards of higher life than a black man, using signs such as " whites only".

This shown how racist a white man is, black people survived under the power of a white man, even bible was introduced to black people by a white man. A black person was disadvantaged, having up to only 17% to 20% of states use.

The African National Congress was also taking parts in making negotiations with post apartheid government, seeking basic needs and life expectancy common needed such as Education, Health and standards of living.

The resistance movement, or the so called opressors resisted this change, they jailed the bright leaders of this Nation, people like Utata Nelson Madiba, kathrada,sisulu and many.

See where it started giving a white man a benefit of doubts, the civil rights, international sanctions and divestment of holding by investors unrest growing of opression in South Africa. They produced minerals but the foreign countries stated that, if the apartheid does not end, they will no longer invest or participate in economical partnership with SA.

Now that you have a clear picture of the history and how it all started, lets see how the people of South africa fought, what exactly where they fighting for, it is clear that, with the blood that has shed in the streets of SA, the demand was worth it. South African people wanted their land back, they wanted peace, they wanted equality, and freedom. People made clear of what they want, they wanted a free South Africa like it was before the arrival of Jan Van Riebeck. Did we get it in 1994? We was restricted to own a land in our own country, white benefited largely from our country, and they still dominate the larger market and benefits in this country. 

This is all happening because we have been following a wrong programme of this democratic government. This is not the government that Steve Biko fought for, it is not by chance a government Mr Walter Sisulu died for. Oliver Tambo did not know that when he said we need our resources back to us he meant this way. This is dismantled and possesive liberation of ANC under the parasites leaders. The corrupt and anti black. 

The genuine leaders who fought for this nation are known as our grand forefathers, they wanted our land back to us, the righteous inheritant. We was once restricted and given just 7% of a land, we cannot ghost this matter and act on it. The truth is that! White supremacy has led this country into the darkness, black people are poor and still oprressed. People are still not free, they are trapped like shadows. Apartheid is not an issue of forgiveness, we cannot grieve it and forget it. Because it is still alive even today.

Nelson Mandela is wrongly credited, he was in jail for 27 years when our grand fathers was killed, those people died for us believing one day we will own South Africa again. But Mandela happened, he chose freedom over victory. White people are not even quater of the people in our country. We was suppose to righfully take back what is ours. Europeans are owning minerals, large companies and dominate the corporate industries in SA.

I have never seen such a taboo, white people are calling us flops, they sits in mansions and watch us in views celebrating the death of our grandfathers, we are weeping on the ground, lost and confused, our sisters and brothers have allerged to unethic morals in this society. Hunger, i am talking about a real poverty where the only key to surviving is having an alternative. And therefore, white people label us as thiefs.

I know that my government will call me anti black, they will resist this truth, locating your inner sense will help you gain access to common sense, it does not need you to be an amazing intelect to digest this ideology, but a use of sense will rectify your arogancy and let the right path before you. It is most saddening to see how we been sold out. The monopoly of ingovernance, leaders who uses authors ethics to address the parliament. Reading dictionaries to define freedom. I am an african, a true african. And therefore,i will not use a western book to define my true colors. 

I therefore stand here not satisfied, i still feel the pain of yesterday, it is not accomplished, the current president of South Africa Mr Jacob Zuma hasnt said a word about our resources, our land. The biggest bank that generates most revenue in South Africa the Reserve Bank is owned by white people. I am not being racist, i am a young South African who wants what best for this country. We should nationalize our resources. Control our products and benefit all our people. 

This article should not be in contradiction with the national anthem of South Africa that appeal to everybody to unite. However, it should be a tool that triggers the youth of this nation to be objective and subjective on politics, we need a fresh perculated ideas in our government, we must restore and honor our grandfathers by following a right mandate of their wishes. our government has failed to do so, it is up to the youth of this nation to nationalise this program and make it a movement of change.

PEDI CULTURE IS DEADLY,IF YOU DO NOT CONFORM YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY YOU DIE.

Written by
Makgato Machaba

This culture is very fascinating and dangerous, Customs and ways in a pedi tradition have rough consequenses after not being conformed and they often revolves around death.

Welcome to the culture of Bapedi people, one of the biggest names you can ever come across in this culture is Kgosi Sekhukhune. The man who fought for the lands and rights of Bapedi people. He reserves hectares of land and people that reside around him. He passed on but the leadership from his clan continued and the history reveals the starting point to the end. See google for more about sekhukhune and kgosi modjadji the rain queen.

The biggest issues in this culture is awareness to the youth to always conform themselves ethically and culturally. One of the elders in Gapane warns the youth to never use this popular words " dia ilwa o hwile" which means the principles and guides of life are desserted. She provoked by any means the parents and elders to teach the youth about Pedi ways and behaviour.
  
She explained the major harmful ways which can end up hurting the pedi society if not taken into consideration. For example, if a teenager sleeps with a married man who lost his wife before 6 month after the death, she will have a desease called "makgoma". This desease is not known by doctors, it is believed to be ancestral believes that turned into a curse. "Makgoma" is a very dangerous desease, Sir DR Alec rossouw explained to the unknown source that, oftentimes this desease also drops the immune system and kills cells, leaving a body to dehydrate and malfunction. It is also confused with HIV/AIDS. Cells drops and the body becomes restless.

In pedi culture, men are not allowed to bury thier friend or even be near the cemetry if they both have children with a same woman and one of them passes on. If one of them goes to the burial, when the coffin of the other one is finally puts to the grave, the other one will die, this also leaves a lot of questions to the elders but culture and tradition cannot be questioned. Ancestors knows this believes.

Many men died after disagreeing with this believe, they tried burying people they cared about and yet sharing children on same woman, and they also died, causing death at a funeral. Similarlarly, if a pedi man has a child with a woman and that woman passes on without that man's knowledge, he will also have " makgoma" and if not cured the man will die.

Bapedi people teaches their children this customs and make sure they know them because they know their culture can be very dangerous. If two ladies get impregnated by same guy, and other lady shout the name of the other pregnant lady during the knight, if she replies, she will die, similar if she throw a piece of stone at the house and she hear that sound, she will die. Two pregnant ladies who got impregnated by same guy should not hear a sound they made themselves at night, because that will results in death.

Many people inlcuding Bapedi people who do not believe in culture where buried. This culture is deadly, if you do not conform yourself accordingly you die.
They is a mountain near warmbath just outside Mookgophong in Modimolle also called "Modimolle", which is 'God Ate Them' translated to english. If you climb that mountain you will never come back, only Bapedi people knows the answer, it is associated with ancestors powers and believed that, climbing that mountain is disrespectful. Many people who believed climbing it will bring treasure in life never came back. In the morning of 12 03 1993 a helicopter of 3 white men tried landing on modimolle mountain, but the pilot explained to the source (23 03 1993) ( Timeslive,jackie pillay) that, they couldnt land because the pressure on the helicopter simply showed that they will collapse into the trees if they forced, and the dust that splits and starts revolving could not let them see what was on the upper of that mountain.

Pedi people in Motlou explained that, we are human beings, and we should stop behaving godly, unforeseen circumstances are warned by ancestors, they reside at mountains, caves and rivers. And if they are disturbed, consequenses will also disturb the human nature. They are snakes that cannot be shot or puts to flames, a white men tried by all means but never won, those are signs of power and domination. Ramaphaga Solomon, a resident said that, "Janie my baas bought a land in Ga malebogo area, but was told by indunas to move a bit far from mountain because it is where ancestors rest, and he denied, he build a big house there but each time he tried to go there and put tile he will find a traditional handmade pots in the house, those pots were beautiful we never knew who made them, i was working for him we will tarnish those pots but the other morning find them again, i had a piece of that pot, but was told by smemenga to throw it away before i see the buttocks of a snake, smemenga is an old man in our area he knows a lot about culture. that unfinished house is still there, nobody ever tried staying there, janie respected culture since then" and Abner Mothopja Phala said " in phadung, they is a tree that no one will ever cross its shadows and live, once the shadow of that tree touches you, its over, thats why we respect this dead people, they guide us. With this power they show us to never undermine their abilities, they was a cave in our nearest mountain of matlabe, we found natural wild fruits there, people started undermining it, they have let woman enter that cave, today if you go there, you might come out crippled or blind, we really upsetted our ancestors, we use to have rain almost every week, but now people are so disrespectful of nature, even if you sing sementhane or matlodi rain will never come, we made our ancestors violent because we angered them, just imagine 14 year olds having sex on our mountain where our ancestors rest, what more can you have?"

 As Bapedi people we know the secrets of super powers. And thus make us respect our super heroes, our ancestors. The elders believes that, they are the dead people who watches upon them.

If a man have children with two ladies, and the other one is in labour, the other lady is prohibited to enter the house of the lady who is in labour because they shared same blood from same man. If they both be in a same room, the one who is in labour will die, Researchers failed to understand this nature. Not even today an explanation was made, it is simply confusing like the common desease of Bapedi children, they are all born with lekona. A desease that is believed to be caused by a high blood pressure. A new born Pedi child is born with this desease naturally. If not cured the child will die. This desease was a believe from old fore fathers who later made it a curse to all pedi people. A deadly virus blood that make a child die in just few hours. You will see a child shooking a head in pains, moving around and crying unbeareably.

Lets talk about two sisters who had sex with a same guy. If that happens, and the other sisters becomes sick, if the other one enters the room of the sick sister she will die. Its about knowing when to stop, what is right and wrong. If not conformed, death is the answer. Consequenses of pedi culture is life. You pay with it. If you sleep around you better know when to stop and how you will know if all the people you sleep with dies, if they die without your knowledge you will follow them.

The basic ones are just knowing that, when someone is sick, and you had sex, you should not enter their room because you will make them worse, you have dirty blood in you and you presence makes things worse. A pregnant girl should not help his sick father or she will make him worse to death. It is a pity when boys dont know you cannot have sex with a girl who just seen her periods, or not knowing sleeping with a pregnant girl will simply kill you. Not if she is still weeks pregnant, she is deadly.

Pedi culture has got a lot of customs and ways in which people should conform themselves. Every information shared here is vital and appeal to all the youth to be very careful of such. The elders are not satisfied with today's generation, they are scared their children will die before they even reach 40's because they claim to know better. Culture was there before this technology. And culture is not a multi functioning device. It will simpli show you flames if you think you are better. Words from the elders in mphahlele.
