The Ground Is Even More Uneven

I guess it is an achievement worth celebrating that President Zuma promised the white squatters of Bethlehem in Pretoria, low cost houses and six months later, keys were handed to the owners.

Indeed, it is. Those of us who have worked in the construction sector and who have actually had a hand in the building of any house, know that with all material readily available, it takes a good three days to complete a house.

So, it was something of a good feeling within me which kicked in when I learned of the handover of these houses to their new owners, partly because it meant that things can be done in good time. On the other hand, though, this registered that indeed white people of South Africa continue to enjoy privileges at the expense of the masses. I am not saying the white folk must not benefit from the dispensation we fought so hard for, but I am questioning a couple of things about this whole thing.

It is a well-known fact that ANC politicians are longing for the votes of the white and coloured folk to justify their claim of being a "church for all". The delivery of these houses then is almost suspicious. And then, the speed at which the houses were delivered is something of a wonder too. Like a neighbouring community member said, black people, not 10 kilometers away from that area, have waited for over a decade for the same kind of housing but they still wait.

Zuma visited the white folks' area and made a promise which he was quick to keep but among the people for whom he claims to have fought , and for whose benefit his government claims to be working towards, this is wrong. This is not about politicking or anything like that. It is justice. The black people which are the majority in our population can't be overlooked like that.

How many times have many black informal settlements dwellers been promised houses? This happens everywhere and to allow for the processes to take longer than they should when it is Black people who must be served, and so short a time when it comes to the white folk, is blatant racism and continuing oppression.

President Zuma is a political strategist but not a very good CEO of the government institution. He is unfair and untrustworthy, really. Because he makes a lot of promises and keeps very few and for a section of the society, Zuma should not be the next president of the nation, let him stay on at Luthuli House.

The playing field just got skewer.

Humans and Their Nature

The greatest scientists of the earth have, for many centuries, tried to understand the nature of humans and their bizarre traits.

Many have come with theories of why people do what people do. The social worker will always have a theory on why the male child is behaving the way he does and why the girl child behaves in a particular manner.

The psychologist will always point things to the psyche of man. The economist will look at "other factors influencing the behavior" man. All of these people have an idea about what they think the reasons are for people to behave in certain manner. When Vuyo Mbuli (may his soul rest) passed away, there were reports on how he cheated on his wife with 18 women.

Tiger Woods was said to have had 10 girlfriends while still married and President Zuma was also accused of extra-marital affairs (which he had a couple of). All these guys did was what many, many other people do. And now it is Zwelinzima Vavi's turn. Many people talk about how Vavi is wrongfully accused of rape, and others talk about how he is being let off the hook by authorities just because he holds high office COSATU. But wait.

I dare say that these issues which are worrying people so much - cheating people and extra-marital affairs - are so common in every village, town, city or country. People do these things. Vavi even admitted that. The issue here really, lies not so much on the accusation from the "strikingly beautiful" woman (as a Sunday newspaper described her) but on the shock that people had when it dawned to them that it is not only them who cheat, but their leaders as well.

As a family man and woman, Vavi and his accuser should have known that these things do come out. Humans are attracted to other humans, even when they are married and as evident from the cases of Zuma and others, things can be corrected. The extra-marital thing is not going away anytime, in fact it is never going away.

So, let us make all the noise about how Vavi was accused of rape, but not about how he should never have cheated, because that is not anybody's place to speak. It is Vavi, his wife, the accuser and her husband who will speak about that.

K@K-Stad: The City Which Stinks

The recent spate of stinky protests in the Cape have made headlines all over the world and the authorities of the Democratic Alliance-led Western Cape have no answer to this.

They are so political that they lose sight of what the problem really is. Mayor, Patricia De Lille is so blind to the facts that she is now on panic mode, especially following the assault at the Cape Town International Airport. They knew that the toilets issue had not been resolved and it was negligent of them to assume that those who seek to control the province would have forgotten.

She is talking things like "The ANCYL wants to sabotage the province". Yes! That's what they want so that you, Ms De Lille, should step down as mayor.

The problems with Cape Town, and especially for Black people, is that we feel that we are not being listened to. It is not only this province which has issues and problems it fails to address but the difference between the other provinces and this one is that this one here is ruled by a white person. Not to sound racist or anything but let's face it; which suffering black man wants to be ruled by a white person? Really. The thing about white people is that they don't understand the struggles of the poor person.

Because the poor are being led by a party of people whose positions during the apartheid struggles were unclear due to their skin colour, it is problematic for the poor man to have faith in them. Biko once said if white people were standing with and among the native people during the struggle for liberation from the Boere, then let them come and stay in the areas in which all the mess took place.

Even to this day, very few white people, even those who directly benefited from the ills of the Boere,  have come to the townships to live there. They are happy to pass and view us from the topless roof of the red tourist bus which makes a turn in Khayelitsha ever so often. They don't want the life which is led by the poor people. At least not for themselves.

Now, when Helen Zille says things on TV and radio about how good the DA's governing systems are, she only convinces white South Africans and those Black people who have never known suffering, and as a result of that we see frustrated youths doing what we saw them doing. The trick to learn there, Mrs Zille, is that you listen and then you deliver. End of it.

We know and I am the first to admit that the ANC-led national government is not good at all if you look at the Jacob Zuma administration term, but they are a bunch of ANC people afterall. So, advice to you DA people: Stop acting holier than jesus christ of the bible. Quit this thing of pleasing the white folks for they have everything already, turn your attention to the people who stay with shit in their homes, in buckets. They will be sick and cause the City a lot of problems and then we will have a really big issue.

And for the record, I did not like what the ANC guys said about Lindiwe's dress code. I think she is a beautiful young lady whose politics are played in the wrong field.

Let freedom of the poor reign and let them that have nothing, have, so that those who have may have some but not all.

Theories don't kill people!!!

And now to some serious matters: 

The Chitauri, whom are the shape-shifters who run the earth and to some a.k.a The Illuminati, have and continue to prepare us for their ultimate revelation of their true form and existence.

They have done this through their strange alien movies and cartoons (concealing themselves in plain sight), so that we may not be "shocked" when truth hits home. They came to the earth when none from this unsuspecting, never-learning and self-destructive race of humans had yet lived. Ancient legends of many of the longest surviving civilizations tell of these beings.

To some extent, even here in Mzansi primary school children had spoken of having being traumatised by a "Pinky-Pinky" creature in the toilets of the rural schools. When people refuse to see, and refuse to accept that they have seen, dangerous things happen as consequence to such ignorance.

Darthmaul: This character fits the description of ancient legends about the Chitauri. This kind  (with horns around the head) is said to be Royal.

The beings we speak of are referred to as gods, devil and whatever else the American rappers call them. But wait. They have run the earth since they landed some many eons past and they do so to this day. They have created bloodlines which shall live for more times (with so many people claiming that Obama is related to Bush and all, scary). One man said conspiracies don't kill people.

Alien: This creature is unknown. It was found in Port Elizabeth and this picture was published by The Herald.

Legends go as far as to claim that the accelerated strides made in the field of science, especially at the beginning of the age of the Republics, are attributed to the Chitauri. Many Europeans and westernized Africans will fight to the death in defence of their logic that there are no extra-terrestrial beings, and continue to credit scientists of the world with all the scientific and technological advances made by humans.

This becomes a bit of a challenge for me understand and apprehend, especially because then I will have questions about why, if it were humans who advanced the sciences and technologies of the world, could they not do so when all were yet fascinated by the pyramids of Giza and other ancient developments of science?

The film producers have made films with beings that are not human and it cannot be that it is their imagination only which gives birth to these characters. Those who know are aware that, for an example, the being called Dathmaul in one Star Wars film looks exactly as the Africans have described the Chitauri in many legends. Now it can’t be a coincidence that legends of this nature, or the truth of the existence of these creatures,  is displayed in the form of media like films and cartoons and comic books.

Upon reading some of the accounts attributed to Illuminati, one is told that this secret society’s secret for surviving so long without any one suspecting their existence, is hiding their symbols and existence in plain sight where everybody can see. Now, human have seen so many films of aliens to an extent that they would not even know when a film is a depiction of reality or just a film. Symbols, marks, phrases and many other clues to the existence of other beings on earth are constantly denied by humans and any who speaks of these is dismissed as a conspiracy theorist.

Theories don't kill people!
