The Danger of Fundamentalist Shove


Let us acknowledge firstly that the Rainbow Nation is an Ideology. Our short democratic rule proves that it is a viable Ideology. Unfortunately like any other Ideology it has suffered an anomaly of a shortage of discourse. As our country evolved into a democratic country the Idea of a Rainbow Nation was not continuously molded to continue to define and express the Identity of our changing society.… Read More The Danger of Fundamentalist Shove

Thou Shall Circumcise and Survive


They will meet their maker for sure. Quarantine is the way and nothing else. Wait a moment did I say quarantine? Perhaps this box-in effect in our flat is getting to me.

Up-righted and forward Looking


The freedom that Africa cries for today is that of economics, it cannot reach self resilience without achieving the latter. For this it needs African leaders who take the aspirations of their country men and woman to heart. Africa can do away with those leaders in whom it put trust but they prove themselves to be totalitarian and absolute dictators, selfish and murderous as far as deprivation to their countries is concerned.
