Chapter Three
The calendar date is the 21st March 2024 and Teamswallows and Less Uvalo have arrived at Sharpeville and are walking about in and outside Ntate
Motete Leeu ’s house ,though in the old man’s absence at his close by the
Sharpeville Stadium house ,greeting folk found at home, as their hosts for the
day, including sharing the traditional African niceties; even with passers- by
across the fence, then stretching out their garden chairs umbrellas as they
layed out at the ready their day’s prepared pad victuals for the day…
As they also watch the crowds in their different political T-Shirt colours criss-
crossing each other’s paths going west to the main stadium and east to
Dlomo dam and near the Sharpeville’s old age home ,but all roaring out
chants of their different formations, songs of older and ageing traditional
Parties and a lacklustre whimper of those of the younger Generation Parties,
still braying out theirs, in almost more mellowed voices, but with all the
competitive heave-ho and verve ,that all could master; but all in motions
inching forwards and backwards typical of the African warlike dances , albeit
while wearing on their faces contrasting apologetically colonially bequeathed
smiles , with a mix of the new and most grand patterns of old dance forms
... All also careful, not to be out of step with the Liberation Traditional Toyi -
Toyi, that mimics the originally first danced in more gracefully and slower
prayerful paces by the Ama-Israeli of Ntabelanga Bulhoek in the Eastern Cape
only ,to be mercilessly mowed down by the Jan Smuts troops in 1921.After
they did not smile,not just claiming but taking up an ancestral piece of land…
As they finally patched themselves up in their garden chairs Less Uvalo was
all but almost drooling in salivate wonderment , typically of many foreign
tourists ,as Teamswallos breaks the ice:
‘To think Cuz, I have always heard the Freedom Songs sung, even on Radio,
but never noted as to how different their lyrics are ,let alone their finer war
dances and clearly differentiated also in hand and arm salutes…Clearly I
have been in the deep Rip Van Winkel sleep and I suspect most of my
generation born after 1994 are…
As we have been so complacent with little his/herstory we know, but more
dangerously complaisant with our political masters and mistresses misrule of
us, alongside their so called Opposition Parties postures and quite expensive
gimmicks ,at leisure to squander a gravy train period spanning thirty years
,come to think of it…
The post 1994 generation has to call for reparations and apologies graver
than those demanded from apartheid masters and now from these hogs,
who have already so hugely paid themselves with the carried over apartheid
dough…’
Less Uvalo yelping one more support, ‘Yeah, Team, and ah, am always
appalled by de logotypes, on de chests an backs of deir T-Shirts, eben so
tightly and gleefully ligaturin dem t’ deir very hearts, beating in deir chests…
In de U.S. political party worshipin ‘n laudin serving, is a White an somewhat
Black wannabe elitist game ; especially of dose who go t’ church t’ hear not
jus de cliched message from de imaginary de Lawd, but what party does dis
Lawd say dey mus vote fer, every time dese General Erections are flaunted
‘bout t’ flog every agreeable customer into de worst houses of sin worse dan
de Chicken Ranches and odder Whorehouses and dey come outa there t’
announce:
‘’Hey it felt like some huge orgasm reachin casting dat vote!’’
yet wifout tellin ‘bout what kinda Dollar catch dey got outa dat masturbation
on Massa’s ass . And do pardon mah French Cuz…But most of dese had gotten
handsomely paid fer jus fucken a vote…
And I hear tell, in dis Plantation ,these brothers and sisters usually get
emselves jus a couple bottles of beer fer jus fucken showin up…An Gud help
us all ,here an in de Diaspora ,if in de land of Shaka and Stuurman and after
apartheid our folk would still worship colonial political parties, worst of
all,dose funded by dat sewer rat Cecil John Rhodes’s an de res of born again
t’ money vipers blood …
Man somebody mus get ’bout cleanin up dis Plantation before Jesus pitches
up hesef t’ do de real job, doin de fucked chicken house sprin cleanin …
Back home if ye have ‘t emblazon anytin on ya chest or back, is when ye
sendin a Big Shout t’ de Babylonians at damn Capitol Hill, like:
DONALD TRUMP IS A HOG, JOE BIDEN IS LONG DEAD IN HIS FUCKEN
CHAIR…An dat is de milder ones…And ye can still earn a fleshy dollar sellin
em T-Shirts fer some rich slobber …
An here though in war like drills , Ah still see a lot of smilin…Ha de hell de ye
smile on a in March Posts of war troops ? De endemic Job Masecoo
condensed tin dat sinks ya war ship every day ,in dis country is d e smile
pandemic.
Ah been t’ some local polls ‘t observe an seen folk comin up ‘t a total stranger
wif some damn British ceremonia -protocolbullshit: ‘’Ha are u ?’’ ‘’Ah ‘m fine
tanks ‘n Ha are u ?…’’
In mah country tis jus ‘’Ha doin’’ ‘n “ha doin in turn ...” Meant t’ jus sayin ,
ah see ye aren’t a robot man… Ha de hell does mah been fine or not have t’
do wif some dude who ain’t mah family doctor man…?
Ah see some Africuns speakin sayin all da time ,’’Who gunned it? man…’’
and de retort ritually : “goat en who gunned it?…” and In response again
“goat…’’ dat one gets me man…
If ye have goat gunnin it man , fer ya, why cant ye have em goat cast da
damn vote fer ya man?...It real gets me…’
And Teamswallows interjects hilariously laughing ‘Yo, your American -
Afrikaans ,man… who gunned it … is Hoe gaan dit? and response -goed …Cuz,
just our own way of saying; I can see you ain’t a robot…Difference and I agree
is, you have to sing it like you owe somebody something…’
Less Uvalo like just coming to: ’ Ah, dats why ah been all de time ,so surprised
‘bout letting de damn goat do it fer ya…An more so havin read bout de
history of one Ancestor Job Masecoe who had in de World War Two, had
snuck up a German Freighter t’ single handed blew it up wif a bomb made
out of a tin of condensed milk, didn’t go ’bout askin no nigger who gunned it
,cause of cause he had done it- and was no goat…
Ah know our Ancestor Job, did not smile doin it and after doin it…An AhI
guess after noticin he’s no gloatin, scratchin when it aint itchin fer some
recognition, dey decided t’ deny im de damn Victoria Cross ,thikin de ‘nigger’s
too big headed…Jus let im go die in ,Qua Thema ,where all de ‘niggers’ go ‘n
die after fightin our wars… de firs ‘n de second war, jus like dat man…
Dat he died after bein pushed onto an on comin train ,perhaps while ridin on
a bycicle prize payed fer de damn war as dey pushed King Albert Luthuli fer
callin fer Peace an Martin Luther Kin fer seein de damn light at de end of de
tunnel only fer it t’ be of an oncoming train out t’ devour him Mthuli ca
Shezi,wuz pushed under its wheels for jus sain :
”AH MA BLAC AN AH MA PROUD!”
Nat Nakasa wuz pushed outa New York high up flat’s window
Yet no one tells dem stories t’ dese youn folk , of Great- Gran Pa Job
Masecoe, of how Gran Steve Biko died at de back of a police truck runnin a
thousands of kilometres of de dis-memberin his physical body carryin his
brain dead head from Kin Williams Town t’ Pretoria.
Dats why?... dey are jus full of smiles, even when deir own so -called
government of a majority has’nt yet honoured Gran Pa Job …Oh, ah own
Uncle Tom sits in Pretoria seat of Power, Jus like else where in de Modderlan
dey call de Own People’s Governance-‘ Independence’ ,here dey call it de de
damn Fleadom Freedom …jus like in de damn U.S. when Black Folk were
freed from slavery…Dey were told “ye are now Free… ye can buy ya own
shoes an hat an still keep ma hand me down suits an over-coats fer yasef…an
’bove all keep ya own nigger skin an no where near mah house...nigger dou
art free…
It jus goes on en on eben what ye deserve is Liberation, Total Liberation of de
total person , deir mind and soul …Dey are jus too happy t’ be now
Independent from de damn British, from de damn French,Freedom from
Apartheid…Deir later day leaders sponsors ,knowin no notin ’bout
Liberation; dey been given freedom from deir sponsors outa Massa’s
Vereeniging Plantation into ya own Sharpeville Plantations…Outa some
Roodeport ‘n Florida Plantation into de BraamFischeville Plantation…
Smilin like chuckle -head chiefs, yes dose were chiefs ,who were given trinkets
dat gave em lon miles ,lon smiles indeed an de land was taken .
Dey are still dere an dats why we still here an smiling at de Kin’s Castle
Jamboree …’
LAFA ELIHLE -THIRTY YEARS LONG IS THE WHOLE GENERATION…
Teamswallows now more energised, ‘ Ja neh,.. Job Maseko and his progeny
lot, like Tsietsi Mashanini ,Sibongile Mthembu -Mkhabela and Esau Raditsela
they didn’t wear no coon smile when they led the forces against apartheid
in1976 and 1984.
The liberation spirit lacuna between these and our youth today is so huge
,they cannot fathom the deeper gentrifying of our people even through
ruthless the genocide pogroms run by means of Nyaope and other drugs
grand schemes to more than silence our youth by brazenly zombie-fying
them.
The present political parties including those who still claim liberation colours
are all of dead men and women walking.
And those who have sworn to shaking the status quo hardly speak of drugs
and ‘stray-bullet’ genocide in the Cape Flats; their at best one man show is all
about rabble rousing the blood-pressures and sugar levels of fat politicians in
puppetry Parliamentary shows ,that earns all of them much larded bread. The
conviction sounded in Nelson Mandela’s signature punching the air with
Amandla! And Lucas Mangope’s stoic oratorical hedging to be moved by the
new forces on the S.A stoep then, is all but faded with mist of self -sorry
feeling or snout sat at the trough grunting “ My Chief or My Leader…’’ Then
the broad coon smiles marching to the Western styled polls as to a mock -
war…
Sad to see some of them in my neighbourhood emulating your American gait
‘n talk style ,asking about you about hores in your hood, and ducking the
sooner you suggest you talk some Indigenous history and cultural issues ,with
sick excuses like; “Hey man I ain’t into shit politics…jus get us de damn
buttons in dis hood ;” even talking and copy-catting your language’
‘Dis mad hatter was talkin t’ me,’ Less interposed; ‘while Ah wuz in de
company of two Braam Fischerville homies en dey warned me t’ be on de
watch out,as dis dude is actually a drug lord testin de waters - like de
possibility of me bein a competishon waitin t’ strike; dat also dey areal ready
marked demselves, as mah possible snitches an peddlers...
So dey got de shivers dere an den,while also a tad smarter,dey suggested as
dis gonzo would obviously if he sees dem more wif me.
So deir plan B wuz t’ be , dey see me only when dere is loadsheddin an dey
would purchase lantern dat we could use in de dark of my stayin place an talk
real serious Indigenous wisdom culture an history, Ah sad fine ,Ah will provide
mah smartphone to make videos fer Youtube and dey said spot on, if folk, see
us on video dey wont believe de tell, tell stories from de mad hatter and dere
wont be any need fer him t’ set up traps ,in our vicinity by plantin illicit drugs
fer his police friends t’come an uproot…An Ah sad t’ dem ya smart asses like
W.E.B du Bois, Dingiswayo,Sobukwe,Mandela an Biko ,lets go fer it…
An by de way my youngest brodder now five back at home’s name is
Dingiswayo du Bois mah dad is deeply ‘African’ Inclined ,Ah say African in
brackets till Ah go back home t’ re-orientate him dat dere is no place called
Africa…An thus Team an Ah just call it Modderlan an we would contest dis
understandin t’ de highest Institutions of Modderlan Indigenous Studies-till
de whole world know dere is no Ethiopia but Abyssynia an no Africa but jus all
Humanity’s Modderlan…
Only fer anodder lot followin de drug lord ,to come back to ya an axe ya
Team, why if his swag-strut is so gangsta like ,an he still conversely dresses
like a Harvard graduate, not showin off colourful underwear from saggin
pants, so we may be more confortable in his presence? All cause dey have
been so brainwashed t’ believe any serious talk besides corrupt scams is
politics and yet paradoxically knowin sometin ’bout Harvard .’
Team came in, ’Lord how I wish there were no politics and their Sorcerer
Mother wrought as the Bully Markets over the Motherland, long crept into
our psyche and even deeper into our DNA, surreptitiously by not only Bantu
Education but also through their newly contrived a special Brand Bantoe
Religion ,since especially the Huguenots landed here and their other pale
man-eaters followed them…’
Less took his turn, ‘Ah been t’ Ghana t’ Tanzania observing fer me every tin
including deir elections and Ah ain’t seen nobody smilin a lot…fer dis lies dat
de Ebony Kins sold some warrior people t’ de damn waggish White men .
No dey came outa ships wif guns an headed de unarmed Modderlan folk
into deir Virgin Mary ,Kin Jesus slave ships. Dey meant business an de
sleekest business at dat called religion…
Ya all here need nu therapy of ‘Non-Smile Clinics’ t’ debrief ya of de damn
nihilistic kaffirnated smile and its lumpen proletariat protractile effects dis
barrin ya from achieving national processes t’ clean up minds and souls…
De one of de two who got real serious wif me, dat I call Moss fer mah lack of
Indigenous phonic grasp,’
‘Oh, Mosimanegape and his friend with a whole sentence for a name-
SiyabongakuMsindisi an Indigenous inclined and conscientized as they are
they ,insist their names not be cut.’ Team helped ‘Yeah dose two are very
dope man,dey suggested t’me dat we catch all de rats out here at Braam ,an
cause dere are no cattle t’plough de land we span dem roddents to plow on
plowshares, as de Boers have taken all cattle togedder wif de lan,shoved us
outa White town an dumped us here in Braam wif only de rats to make do wif
all de rodents neo-apartheid has produced more dese rat sin our kasies dan
de world has wrought Corvid-19 casualties…If we don’t span dem fer good
taskin as rat-man-power,dat perhaps de neo-apartheid apparatchics nu outa
Greek Myfology dat rats represent bountifulness,plentifulness an
joyfulness,so why quibble , lets put de damned or hallowed rats to de best
use…”
‘So Ah call em de Greatest Raconteurs of all Time,good Messy Flys fer de
township in deep need of psychological therapy en dey call me Griots of Griots
in deference t’ fac dat ,I know more American Black History dan dey know
bout Slave Acres His/Herstory-den in turn I call em Doctors Ranconteur of All
Time …
Dey warn me dat at college White an Coconut folk preferred t’call em Moss
an Sy t’ a eben when dey were in de Schools Student Representative executive
dey had insisted dey call deir names in full,as dey aint done cut deir White an
Coconut names.
Dey promised if Ah stayed nuff longer Ah will soon be honouring dem by
learnin t’ call deir full names right an Ah agreed knowin it will real happen.’
Team jutted in, ‘Very, very interesting indeed ,my dad told me no one ever
saw John Vorster of their oppression time smiling and thus also for his glum
self , a song was coined ‘’ Vorster Shall Never Go to Heaven,’’ not ever about
any Slave Master preceding or succeeding him ,as they imagined his
candidature to hell was cast in stone, chiefly because he did not smile.
When I got to Washington D.C. and went to stroll around the White House
precincts ,where every Dick Tom and Hare- Brained can hold up a placard to
protest to what an American passer-by ,called it making a Statement to the
Pharaos and I never saw any one wearing a smile…It is indeed two worlds so
close in experiences but so different in physically expressing them..
One placard read : “We are tired of these Wives.” Folk equally glanced at it
with deadpan faces .
In our infantile democracy that would have made Newspapers Headlines-
leading to a charge of women abuse as if all wives are women …
Now that is before my perceptions on Pharaos,our Ancient Kemet Royalty
Realities were seen as deleterious to our religious health and therefore
sanitised with the colonial brand of it all ,here back home.
My Pastor who had loved making confessions ,had a wont to referring to his
young drunken days, as when he was in Egypt,as indeed he had been in Egypt
and haikhona not in Kemet…
This did nothing to my feelings ,for some time; then as I had been all but brain
washed about Kemet only now called Egypt after Caucasians began to write
their own versions of the Motherland Book/Biblio now called Bible….
If ever I get to have such out dated and outa kilter interpretations of that
Book, I’d walk straight up to him or her , hold em by the lapel and announce:
‘’Thou Shall Not Ever Preach To Me Anymore…’’
So really the right down mundane correction and bridging in correction the
two worlds ,will still indeed take some long haul… Perhaps we have to
patiently wait for agents like deep-fakes- false-wreak havoc, enough first
before we could collect the pieces to build anew our whole wide world…’
Less Uvalo laughed softly ‘Dats still quite religiously optimistic Team,Go give
Pope Francis a call an he will tell ya dat sometin close to an atomic bomb will
have t’ clear de way firs, even before de mistakenly hoped to come back
Christ ,make up his mind as to whether ,he mus come back, teach more
science ,wifout openly debatin wif de writings of Moses ,while he very
skilfully had convinced ya dat he was jus fulfilling old Dada Moss , dan done
tryin to debate im…’
Teamswallows feining boldness to send out an almost muffed quizzical
quibble, ‘Now you tell me Less ,What are we really up here damn for? Are we
some unpaid observers or are you perhaps freelancing for some Washington
Post or some Ghetto Tribune of sorts? At least outside of myself; are you
some U.S. Embassy mole using filiation ties and opportunities? Come un,
now out with the damn truth Cuz…’
Less Uvalo laughed out loudly ‘ Normally Cuz,Ah am ole school ,ah don just
shoot from da shoulder wif any lady, but ye asked fer it…
Bof of us ,are here jus because of a rare curiosity trait imbedded deep in de
people ah call, ‘ people of de mixed bag genes’’ specially when dey put deir
damn gene convoluted heads together…Like David Stuurman an W.E.B du
Bois on Zoom between heben ‘n earth locations or ghettos down dere …
Yo an I are of some crank Paul Kruger’s loins and de womb of some innocent
pleased smilin Gogo , happen t’ know it, an dat alone makes our crunch up
though many a maze of mind curiosities ...Eben s ome folk who are like us but
don know it ,wouldn’t bodder ’bout many tins even if de Plantation Big
Honcho had desecrated deir family holy name like ours…
We are kinda uppity ‘n claimin more rights dan most ,eben if we have t’ admit
it.
We are not floutin it out openly , “cause it aint yet a thick story yet” ‘t be
amply told, wifout de reality of getting a huge ‘national frown fer outin
it…We need ‘t feed de still young our stories like dis Plantation bring out
measly food parcels ‘t de poor t’ get deir miserable vote…
Now yo tell me straight, would have Paul Kruger our Caucasian Ancestor
ordered dis massacre here in 1960? ’
Teamswallos almost cornered ‘According to history yes, there are episodes in
his history that reveal his real brutality to the Indigenous people openly
thinking of them as inferior to the so-called Whites ,yet like your Thomas
Jefferson who slept with black slave women jus t’ increase his Plantation
Slave Labour Power our great- great grand-mothers; the one being directly
ours as one of them.
And yet my apologia would still in many quarters be judged harshly as
politically incorrect and if this country does not in especially this oncoming
elections deal with doctrines of politically or un-politically correctness , we are
doomed to remain the miserable slave that we still are, even in the twenty-
first century…
I am told our Gogo Ancestor used to defend Oom Poul thus: ‘’Jan Smuts
slaughtered our people in 1921 at Entabelanga in the Eastern Cape ,just to
show off to the then Crown as to how he can deal boldly with the ‘Bantoes’in
a near insurrection …
John Vorster was showing off to H.F Verwoerd his Boss what he could do to
protect apartheid.
Before them all was Oom Poul and he governed the whole of the then
Transvaal ,of all colour shades of people. He was based in his Capital Pretoria
and was physically available to all his subjects and dealt with them in his
own way, in the day racial idiosyncrasies inherent in all White rulers and
Bosses of the day…
Without a body guards and all alone he enjoyed walk about among the
Indigenous people settled around Pretoria ,whistling all the way, at all times
and thus they called him Mamelodi “the Great Hilarious Whistler” and
shared his loins with a God Fearing Bible reading Black woman , and Great
Missus could live with that result, while some of the Indigenous women also
worked in his ‘State House’ house untouched
Our Great-Great Granny was one of the most trusted and could be alone with
him, for long periods of times and what is called euphemistically; wild oats
was sowed…It was a Missus countenanced-sanctioned Polygamous set up,to
take care of the sexually raging White bull appetites….
If ever we are wild enough; especially for me, who will soon be writing a
letter to the Head of this Plantation called S.A. and is Paul Kruger’s direct
successor , that he must repent forth with and apologise for desecrating our
Ancestral Holy name Takalane, or did he do it for knowing about our lineage,
to Paul Kruger? .For I know as sure as our gods are ,he did not just pick up a
random Takalane ,but my name given our family connections and thereby,
hoping to appease us and heal the rift that had developed in time…
Having made out of it ,the worst mockery since the days our young people
were labelled coconuts. That he can be so ruthless against the image of a
woman child carrying such a name as ours…
Now back to Oom Poul , he reigned in a .S,A. and our Ancestral Granny
worked for him, she had earned a living and a bonus she was said to have
been proud of ,to be with child as a spinster ,during her chores at Die Groot
Huis…Time indeed for S.A. to know that oft our his/herstory gets to be just
more badly soiled because much of it remains hidden…
Was she a no good House Slave? Let you and I, continue to be part of that
deep nuance of that conundrum of herstory…
Incidentally there is legend or just old wives, motherhood and apple pie story,
that this Gogo from whom we got our light skins, used to brag that she was
deflowered by a a White President Boss of all Bosses of his time and not just
a Bantoe …Me I can live with that vanity-call me Uncle Tom and even Aunt
Jane of sorts if you may…
If she had had her way, the line from her in the family should have been
classified -Coloured – and would have had all the privileges appurtenant to
it all.
But her very eldest son, would have nothing of it, as he had asserted: ‘’ We
have royal blood from our Motswana Grand -Mother and also from our
Tsonga Grand-Father’s side, we Ain’t going to throw that to the dogs ,in
favour of a Boer’s name who would not care about our future and had hardly
coughed out anything for one Molato ,in regard reparations for a Mulatto
progeny despite his being made on pillows of millions of what came to be
called the Kruger Coins.
By Molato I mean Cuz, the traditional African reparations paid for
deflowering a virgin…By the male responsible and cases of want , his father
or the whole closest nuclear family…Sometimes with distant clansmen
throwing in something…
Less Uvalo loudly Interjecting, ‘What great show of civilizashon, unknown to
many parts of de world includin some of de so called religious …’
Teamswallos offers, ‘Yet here we are Cuz,as part of unapologetically living
out our chequered genealogical pedigree ,even as it continues to in an
uncanny ugly way unfold…
We are here to ask our Sharpeville Gods to help get the vermin running amok
in this Plantation so blindly glorified to be called a Country.
We very badly also need to step out very boldly to let the world that the
history of our people is not singularly one dimensional despite ,you being a
minority out there and us a majority ,close to a blessedness of being in the
Human Motherland out here…’
Less Uvalo comes in, ‘Yeah Cuz,ah hear ya only very well, ah am glad dat old
Paul was a little better dan a Thomas Jefferson President of the U.S. who had
bred from his own blood , dozens of offsprin borne of slave women as jus all
time, workforce on his Plantations he was not an Oem ,he was a human slave
breeder machine masquerading also as a President…
If dese d e progeny of his offspring can today parade emselves as of Thomas
Jefferson’s loins jus t’ claim that dirty ‘ Presidential blood’ that continue to
more dan insult America , yo an I have all de time to demand fer still
reparations fer Oem having jus contaminated our blood jus a little, because
he could…Let his other progeny give back de land an dey can have back de
blood dat we did’nt axe fer …And he begins to rap:
We aint have no need fer de blood
We need awa Humanity back
Nelson Mandela ‘n Robert Sobukwe got de blood
Leopold 11 ‘n Netayahu got de blood
But do dey ever give Ah share of de blood back
While dey can keep deir own dirty blood
We need Awa humanity back
De more we tink we Black people are different across the Waters ,de more
we ubiquitously remain jus de same….Amandla ! Nga Wethu…ILizwe E Lethu
…At least dat one war cry,Ah have long mastered…’
Teamswallows almost conclude, ‘The game is finally over Cuz, never to return
a match at this Holy Land stadium ;just as the actual Sharpeville shootings
were followed by a pour of rain ,that our people had believed had come to
clean up the blood …This 2024 mid-day a storm begin to form and belch and,
terrify the Big Honcho of the Slaves Acres badly out of his pants; as the Gods
are strongly signifying that his time is up, not only in the country but
significantly at Sharpeville, where he would not ever be allowed to play
games desecrating the graves of our martyrs. If ever he would finish his term,
never again would his now lying abject party ever after the most historically
nauseating Takalane fable…never…
Never will he from a position of Power be able to insult our ancestral name
never again
In 1918 in the dark of the night, a group of Afrikaners had assemble at H.J.
Klopper’s farm in Parys to form and found a most profound underground
organ ever on the Mother Continent to ever put mechanisms in action, to get
the Afrikaner in Power eternally on our soil and in the Continent. After the
most clandestine Bunga ever to plan the take over of South Africa and the
ultimately the Continent-Klopper had declared that no power ever on the
Continent reside anywhere in Africa, let alone in the minds of all its collective
colonizers …In that very year Nelson Mandela was born; he went to jail for
the Liberation of his people, was freed after twenty-seven years to come and
ultimately govern for five years ,in which he did his damn-est for a country stll
in strong chains and his dreams and visions were defeated by all of those who
succeeded him.
You and I stand here at Sharpeville today, on the undoubted threshold of a
new world enlightenment and our touching ground here ,is more than simply
historical but a witness of Greatest watershed experience on the continent
that the not Spiritually enough media has not taken note of.
The actual chucking out of the Plantation Chief Honcho not by the people, but
the Gods themselves is phenomenal and you as an African in the Diaspora has
just had a witness of it in Technicolor and you will tell me ,you still doubt you
area history maker yourself…For right now ,I am commissioning you and
many of us to finally come to our senses to resolve on dealing -after five
hundred years of slavery to apartheid- with the Continental trauma that has
chained our minds all these years and none but none of us has been able to
develop humanly the total overwhelming potential in our genes than in our
brawn and oft greed from slavery to post apartheid,where even machines
have been able to be used better than us in their existential worth to
humanity
A Post Traumatic Stress Disorder if gory enough, if it affects you right now
after a loved one parent guardian and friend .But of five hundred year over
lapping into apartheid inhumanity right into post-apartheid, post Sharpeville
human insult and succeeding slaughters like Marikana, Life Esidimeni and our
children dying in pit latrines, taverns, circumcision schools and in swimming
pools while on school excursions ,it is a war as there are here right now
Nyaope, Wunga,Tick genocides across the Beloved country…
In the absence of the debriefing mechanism of all, combatants ,oppressive
killers and the traumatised just because it would have denuded not only
former S.A. army operatives, would have been asked of penitence and even
personal reparations and many would have though very heavy exercises
,obliged in many innovative ways, that would have surely created space and
ground large enough to come close to healing our land and its people, it was
stopped more by our own from exile, lest it would have come to denude the
worst residing in them, that mostly had nothing with fighting for freedom
than many an ego and monetarily aggrandisement.
And many would have been totally dis barred from seeing just a day ,in
Mandela’s government.
Following every war in Africa, a cleansing ceremony called the washing of the
spears is instituted to Spiritually cleanse the people as much as mentally
affording them the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Therapy.
I ask you to go and think hard on it all Cuz,and home grounds like Sharpeville
and Gory Islands could be considered for regional cleansing of all our people
on the Continent and the Diaspora areas like Haiti and Jamaica should also be
considered for Feast of Music,Visual Arts ,Cuisines and Spiritual Expressions
pertinent to Healing on the Continent, Modern Medical Therapy would also
beat full play, in order to fully embrace our changing world and all Human
Benefits would ensue out of a ; “Continental Cleansing and Healing” As the
word debriefing would be strenuously denied space ,Great amounts of outlets
for these would just automatically obtain.
One of the Greatest Poets and Griots to have lived in this Country, Don
Mattera wrote a book :
“MEMORY IS A WEAPON”
No one should ever be allowed to play with Sharpeville Memory, as you just
witnessed the gale of storm, drive President of this Country out of
Sharpeville followed by all the collective effervescent Stockholm captive - by
the Gods in your face…
The organising and fine tuning of it all, starts right now ,in casting Ballots to
clean up all Human Abusing Governments in all the world’.
Less Uvalo : ‘ Ah offer t’ ya Teamswallow de Greatest an Profoundest Bow t’ d
e Gods of de Modderland and t’ ya ,right here at Sharpeville’s See ye So Street
.Dis project already done in ya heart ,is done t’ de universe…’
Teamswallows genuflects ‘The honour is to the Motherland Cuz,even to just
have you in it and around to so quickly learn languages of your own people
and with the sharpest of ears to sounds out of this Slaves Acres …The correct
