Comment on Racism is alive and well by James Chikonamombe

Nigel, this post brought back nightmarish memories of some of the racist intolerance I experienced as a young boy in 80s Harare. You could be walking home from school with your friends when, out of the blue, some Rhodie youth would set his vicious dogs on you. This and other such incidents were all too common. Thankfully, our whites have been humbled, and racism is now of the subtle variety rather than in-your-face. I understand the South Africans have a long way to go and it would be interesting to see how long it will take (if ever) for the Rainbow Nation to truly take shape.

What an insightful and thoughtful blog on the issues going on back home. Really happy to have bumped into your musings. A small criticism : Could you move the link for comments at the end of every post? I struggled to find the link to follow in order to comment on the blog

Comment on Julius Malema on Carte Blanche by FreedomTrapped

FreedomTrapped — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:52:54 +0000

maybe…. just maybe, the guy is like a rebel priest or bishop in Christianity questioning the church’s beliefs on the origins of man (The creation theory), the existence of ‘heaven’ and ‘hell’ and the second coming etc all on a single Sunday Service pamberi pe chita chese.
Come on guys we all know its not gonna happen any time soon unless someone is just trying to draw attention to themself for some personal reason. Its not defeatist or perssimistic either. kind of reminds me of that old serenity prayer
“Lord, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.”
This kind of Malema courage seems mischievous and frankly unnecessary. However, it is refreshing in a humourous kind of way to hear somebody put out such a blurp once in a while, even in church. That way the Elders will be CONSTANTLY reminded that the congregants are not altogether blinded by Faith. All Malema needs to be told is that Rome was not built in a day. Like he rightly says, Madiba and co. have laid the political foundations for what the likes of Malema desire. Now Malema should join others to build the walls and maybe his children and grand children will put up the roof. De-colonisation is a generational thing, isnt it? You cant expect to have it all back in your own lifetime, just like it took them generations of coesive and sometimes brutal force to steal our land and a lot of our ‘minds’ from us.
just me thinking…..
