I saw so many African youth, who sacrificed their education in support of the A.N.C. Their motto: “Freedom first, education last.” The government itself cannot do enough. The moral values of African people have been disrupted. To restore our moral value will help with the aids problem. This democracy has an effect on our moral destruction. We don’t know which way to go. It is a Western democracy and not an African democracy. Respect of the elderly people is the key to the regeneration of the moral values. The real fight today is against inhuman, relentless exercise of capitalistic power. The present struggle, in which we are engaged, is for social and industrial justice.
We are today in the most literal sense a lawless society, for our law has lost its legality and become instead its opposite – mere force at the disposal of whoever is at the controls. The same foreign powers that supported the Nationalist government are the same sources behind much of the skull-duggery.
With my experience in the struggle, I had come across terrible things done to the African by the African and discovered a lot of jealousy. This affected me terribly. They had suffered so much under apartheid that one would believe that there would be comradeship in their communities. Even in this day and age there is the elite few who don’t seem to care a damn about the rest. So what was the struggle all about? The African youth must be brought into contact with reality. It is not only the African that suffered for South Africa, but many nationalities.

The white man must change direction and realize he’s got to apologize to the Africans for what he’s done. Now is the time for the Whites to do something constructive especially for the welfare areas. These are the most neglected areas. Nothing has changed since apartheid. People are still suffering. They must come into these areas and experience life in the townships and see what is going on.

They should organize bus trips. The Whites don’t socialize. We must learn each other’s customs.
This is Africa. Whites no longer rule here. I will never give some-body something with my left hand. That’s disrespect! Never ever. If I give someone something it is right hand accompanied by the left.



Liberation :

“Ever since the abolition of slavery, all nations scared by inexplicable deeds, have revolutionised the ideological errors of their forefathers, creating a civilization, where human beings of whatever colour, race or creed, should be born with equal privileges, of the fundamental human rights, as established by the league of nations, with respect to all human beings. Surely this cannot be seen in P.W. Botha? And if the beast was discovered in Adolf Hitler and the Anti-Christ in Mussolini -evidently this can be seen in presidents Botha, Vorster and Malan. Hendrik Verwoed paved the way for these Tsetse flies to place British Mentality in their Statute books. Those same men were the re-incarnation of the Anti-Christs for which humans paid the price. Along came FW De Klerk covered their crimes by financing Inkhata and now these Tsetse flies hold the honours for all the inhumanities without any shame, and so victims passed through the bowels of Christ.”
When I heard the music of Bunny Wailor I was very impressed! In the mode of Heille Selassie
