The white Boers came, saw and conquered; enslaving,
maltreating, segregating, butchering and killing them right in their own land. And
one of them who have the gut to dare the oppressors for oppressing his people,
was hunted down, both he and his co-activists, captured put behind bars for
life and eternity in a jail house in Robben Island.
All the Africans both at home and in diaspora, rose and
fought for their brothers in South Africa. Musicians sang. The likes of Bob
Marley , Peter Tosh our own Sunny Okosuns in Nigeria and many others sang
liberation songs agitating freedom for South Africans who have beenturned next
to an animal second class citizens, meant to be barbecued and roasted in their
own very land.
Obasajo’s predecessor General Murtala Mohammed even went as
far breaking the jawbone of one apartheid backers, by nationalizingone of their
oil companies, the then British Petroleum into African Petroleum. Murtala
Mohammed, one of Africa’s best, paid for that with his own very life.
We can go on and on. International activists of various
shades and colours were not left out of this freedom struggle. Yea, the entire
world rallied round these oppressed Africans with tough sanctions against the
regime of their oppressors, yet the battle went tougher, while the hero of
their struggle languished away in a jailhouse on a faraway Island.
Finally the pressure paid off after several years and decades
of agitation, both local and foreign, violent and nonviolent.
No matter how tough an iron is, severe heat and hammering
from an equally tough blacksmith will bend it the way the blacksmith wants.
The oppressors finally wilted under pressure and left with
between perpetual daily wars and armed uprisings and permanent peace chose the
latter. Frederick De-Klerk opted for the negotiating table, Nelson Mandela
after spending 27 years in jail was freed, a free and fair election was
conducted and power was transferred to the black majorityand the rest was
history.
Not to bore any with the monotony of post-apartheid events,
the hero of this struggle died in 2013, and was buried amidst global emotion
laden tributes, plus international pomp and pageantry.
But prior to this event, another man had taken the mantle of
black majority leadership in South Africa. A man whose hedonistic lifestyle
proved the apartheid minority oppressor leader, Botha right in one of his
racial hatred laden speeches, that all what Africans are best at, is marrying
many wives. And the one currently in power in South Africa has gotten harems of
them.
Come to imaginewhat South Africans are now paying back their
fellow African neighbours and brothers who stood by them in their years and
decades of trials and tribulations with? The same brothers and neighbours who sang
their voices hoarse, made speeches that cost them even their own very lives, all to ensure their freedom from apartheid slave masters,
are now being rewarded back with grievous evils, burning them alive, looting
their properties, just name any atrocity called xenophobia!
Bible said in the book of proverbs that ‘whosoever rewards
evil for good, evil shall not depart out of his house’
I could now imagine the offspring of their former white
oppressors, laughing their heads off and sneering at fellow blacks. A sort of
‘did we not tell you that these kaffirs are not worth fighting for?’
Now how right they might have been. Because the question now on
the mind and mouth of all is; are these South African blacks worth a dime
fighting for after all?
Let me conclude and say all what I foresee as the aftermath
and consequence of these grevious evil South African are perpetrating against
their fellow blacks.
1.
They
have let the whole world what they want for doing what they are doing. That all
black foreigners get out of their land and leave them with their former white
oppressors. Good. Of course the blacks will leave their land and leave them and
their former slave masters alone.
AND THEIR OLD ONES CLAP AND APLAUD |
2.
The
black foreigners having left, leaving them alone with their white masters won’t
solve their problem of laziness, unemployment and sundry vices. There and then,
their former slave masters the whites, understanding that they may be the next
on the line, that these black jobless, South Africans will turn the heat on,
won’t wait for them until they strike.
EVEN THE OLD MAMAS ARE NOT LEFT OUT OF THE LOOTING SPREE |
3.
The
white minority South Africans, with superior weaponry and technology, having
watched the horror of Rwandan genocide in April 1994, would rather not take
things lying low; and wait for another inevitable Armageddon! They won’t open
their eyes and allow their children, nursing mothers and pregnant women to be
made a burn offering to vultures! Rather, theywill strike first!
SO WHAT LEGACY FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION? |
Whatever it now degenerates into, could be a civil war, or
the re-enactment of apartheid policy again by the white minority over blacks, if
only to secure their fellow whites and safeguard the future of their children.
I can hear somebody saying ‘not again’
Should this happen again to South African blacks, no African leader,
activist, musician or any pressure group, home or in diaspora will ever raise his
voice again in their sympathy or defence, with what they are doing now. And if
their African neighboursand brothers refuse to talk this time, the whole world havegot
no choice than to keep mute, and watch them being molested and mauled again by
the white South African bears called Boers.
And their latter end will be worse than the former.
Welcome the South Africans to the final road to perpetual and
permanent slavery.
