Nelson Mandela

The Hero of a Failed Struggle: Mandela Rholihlahla!

Mandela is dead! Sobukwe born on the very day! What can I say.

First Mandela is a hero impoverished and hungry people. He is a hero of exploited workers, a hero of street vendors and hawkers, a hero to those who have no access to health care, education. He is a hero of a poor people. He is a hero of a greatful majority in misery.

He is a man of peace, a negotiator, a diplomat and a so called democrat. He is an architect of the current democratic apartheid. He is a pioneer and a designed of TRC. Thus he is a hero to the white and black community. This same hero has done heroic work of keeping those who call him such in chains of poverty and lack of access.

Yesterday when he "died" eventually, he left the following legacy:

More than 30percent of our people are unemployed. Millions leave under 2 dollars a day. 72 percent of the unemployed is youth. He lives no hospitals, no clinics, no police stations, no proper roads, no access to appropriate justice socially.

Most importantly, he leaves the most and the core of the initial struggle unanswered. He leaves the land question hanging. 93 percent of the land was stolen. He engaged in a struggle. Later he sold it out by agreeing to a willing buyer-willing seller clause. Today only less than 8 percent of the land is return to its rightful owners. Almost 20 years later, he leaves behind more than a family of more than 50 million hungry and impoverished, exploited and denegrated.

If this man sold the heart of the struggle of our people, then he is a hero to the lumpen, to the ideologically bankrupt, to the philistine scholar and bourgeoisie, a brainwashed learner and student and a fictitious politician and theoretician.
To the ideologically and politically trained scholarly pan africanist: african nationalist and socialist, Mandela is an empty hero of Britain and the Rest of Western Europe.
May his soul never rest until the land question is answered. And may all his chronies remaining on planet earth die sooner by revolutionary bullet of the young revolutionaries of Azania.

Land, Education, Socialism - a Revolutionary war for ultimate absolute freedom after the death of a sellout!
