to be free… Freedom Day, South Africa

we’re only as free as our most oppressed.

our duty, young south africa

It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.” ~Assata Shakur

glimpse of freedom

let me just begin by saying that i do not believe that South Africa is free.

i do not believe that the concessions made by the anc and the other parties sitting around the table at codesa were completely right. i believe that Afrikans didn’t win an outright victory but rather that they were handed a peace offering by the apartheid regime which they in turn transformed into a pacifier in order to subvert justice and create an illusion of freedom.
