Heaven on Hell ! Every time I hear someone uttering democracy or freedom i feel like jumping out of my skin SA has been a successful colonial project, colonialist have manage to establish 100’s of years oppressing the vast majority of Black people in this country, split people into groups of division to the point that they hated each other and themselves with a passion and still do today, they have created a legislative administration around super-exploitation and later dismantled this administration only to usher in a black-looking leadership that would continue to uphold the realities of difference and inequality often labelled as rainbow nation or democracy. I would have hoped by now it would be a glaring reality that South Africa has only been a heaven for white people and a hell for the indigenous black africans who are poverty stricken and still dispossessed of their indigenous property. South African economy and political system does not represent Afrikan interest, Afrikan people, Afrikan culture and Afrikan ethos thus such economy should not be celebrated as freedom or neither democracy for black people, this is a country where a small elite mostly white, and with a few black euro-brainwashed puppets trying to copy the colonialist are part of the productive economy and benefit grossly from it. SA is one of the countries with the most severe disparity, inequality, oppression, institutionalized injustice. In my view, that cannot be deemed as democracy nor freedom for all, when its very foundation is one that is built on continued exploitation, white power and marginalization. Most Black South Afrikans live in total hell today as oppose to those who have manage to establish heaven in that hell lavishing in the bread crumbs left by the master and masquerading as so called Middle class, that in itself create a defensive mechanism and a justification of White supremacy visited upon the black body. it means that not every Individual, household, community, clique feels the pain of white supremacy equally. In the midst of horrific amount of anguish been inflicted on the black bodies in many forms, there are also pockets of people who do not really experience such plight, landlessness, unemployment, abject poverty, the poor housing, labour exploitation, police violence, living in a shack, poor living conditions etc. By the very same nature black people live in completely different worlds, even if they are physically living within the same vicinity, white supremacy is a very sophisticated system painstakingly making sure that few know what really goes on, at the height of such gratuitous violence and injustices visited upon the black body there are people who still take comfort in celebration the Mandela rainbow nation a free for all country shit. to utter phrases such: we have freedom or democracy it equates to saying that a woman who is paid some money in compensation by the perpetrator who raped her should look at the bright side of rape – because now she can at least buy herself a house with that money. There is no goodness in oppression, white supremacy or systematic separation the fact that we live under a regime that promises us liberation, equality without possession of land. In the past we were bitten with a growl today the same bite comes disguised with a smile It is for that reason our social death goes unabated, white supremacy still passes an average peoples attention. You are either in heaven or hell its all up to your consciousness to discern !
