The current living conditions of black people in South Africa speak volume it shows that we are not ready for the so-called rainbow nation.
Majority of black people live in squatter camps they are landless jobless some with no electricity and toilets while majority of whites live in big houses away from blacks and if blacks move into white suburbs whites run away.whites own big chunks of land and drive fancy cars and private jets.
Whites own means of production mines,bank and natural resources and have no clue what poverty is and if this is the rainbow nation then I rest my case.22 years later corporate is still dominated by the minority. the current political and
economic situation has not changed that much to convince me that yes indeed South Africa is a rainbow nation. We can try to justify and mention the
few blacks who are acting as bourgeoisies but that does not mean we are a rainbow nation few enjoyed the benefits of South Africa and that few
is mostly white.
Tarnishing the name of Nelson Mandela will not help us in going forward but we can not ignore the evil legacy left by this man. without a shadow of doubt
Mandela was polite with whites the, ANC even agrees with the notion that Mandela made many compromises, in fact: he was an agent of whites againts black people, he paved the way and softened the hurts of millions of blacks and fololed them with the so called “rainbow nation”
and reconciliation without justice. People were psychological manipulated by Mandela to forgive whites, using such saying us "when a deep injury is done to us we never heal until we forgive " time and time again untill they sank deep into a black man’s skull.Mandela revamped white supremacy and ensured that the wealth of our
country remains in the hands of the minority.
What angers me the most is that even when Mandela is gone from the face of the earth, his fleud legacy of “rainbow nation” continues and is still driven by the foundation under his name and by the like of Mmusi Maimane who is also being used by whites to fool blacks, just as they used his Mandela. It is either our people are ignorant or whites have bewitched us.
History warned us and continues to warn us that whites never loved us from the first sight .They came here to steal from us and steal us and made us slaved, yet there are black people who are
advocating the rainbow nation, this is a sign of a crazy drunk nation without leadership. I feel pity for Mmusi, it is quite clear that he does not understand how cruel whites are in general, perhaps he needs to ask Lindiwe Mazibuko why she left the DA and askhimself how come he was quickly promoted to be the president of the DA. This is a warning to emerging politicians, that white capital is brutal, has no morals, it uses people and exposes them,if he can not see what they did with Mandela then i don not know .Just like they did to Lindiwe, the white boses will promise him heaven and earth and when it is time to deliver he will be reminded that he is nothing but just a black, unqualified Pastor.
Whites are not interested in uplifting Blacks, neither is the DA. The DA is not willing to close the gap of inequality, they do not talk about reconciliation, just like Mandela, they do not care about the pain black people experienced during slavery and apartheid, they think the TRC solved everything.The reality of South Africa is that the highest number of people in jails are not whites,whites have not yet payed for the crimes they committed during the apartheid and slavery era, they have not yet returned back the land, in fact there is no clear policy within the DA in regards to returnig the stolen land, yet the DA advocates the rainbow nation .
We as black people need to take a stand and expose the reality of our people, our people are not free and every person living in South Africa knows, even racists agree and yet our people are being told about this fake marriage called rainbow nation.
Our people are living like pigs they have turned into hobbos in their own country,what will rainbow nation do for our people this rainbownation is a forced marriage organized by Nelson Mandela. Blacks are vulnerable to enter to any sort of marriage. Our people never healed, justice has not been served .We have turned into a laughing stock, we are every immoral and nasty thing out there from criminals to prostitutes our brothers are killing each other, jails are overcrowding yet Mmusi talks about the rainbow nation Mmusi should get his priority straight.
Before we talk about rainbow nation lets talk about the living condition of our people in the western cape, lets check the statistics,which province have the highest number of prisoners?
which province is characterized by alcohol and drugs?which provinces is characterized by gangsterism? Mmusi my Black brother you and your DA need to get your priority straight and ifyour white boss disagrees, walk out my brother.Reality is Black people need to be a priority,there should be deliberate program to uplift our people, our people are in jails for crimes which are lesser than those which were committed by the apartheid government and the missionaries. If indeed Mmusi you believe in the rainbow nation you must check the facts within the province you are gorvening before you go over telling people to vote yet you live a mass behind. Build our people houses,fight alchol and drugs abuse,reduce the number of prisoners in western cape before you talk about the rainbow nation.
here are my suggestions to you from black brother to another \
1.demolish squatter camps within five years.
2.give our people free education.
3nationalise all national resources whites never came with mines.
4.free all those who went to jail under apartheid for political motivated reasons and those who killed whites because whites were killing blacks.
5.investigate crimes which were committed by the apartheid government,missionaries during slavery and track every cent benefited by their families and whites in general.
.6.Return all stolen land.
7.give our people proper education from childhood.
8.change the constitution from Dutch and Roman to African constitution, African problem needs african approach.
And only if you can do this then we will talk about not implementing the rainbow nation.
