Racial supremacy

I, finally, found the first topic to blog about on the new What's on Mthoko's mind? blog, racial supremacy on this planet. Every race in the world thinks it's the best at one thing or the other & quiet often, they're right. Mixing of races often does not equate to "best of both worlds" scenarios either because even if a certain race is notably good at something, the saying goes "better a good horse, than a horse of a good kind", it's still better to have a good basketball player than any old black basketball player. 


In a world where everyone is more-or-less now living with modern conveniences, we can assume that many physical, mental or psychosocial barriers have been breached even if genetics still determines most things in our world. So we'll find athleticism, mental capacity et cetera are more balanced among races. Even though there are staunch racial supremacists, in this blog I intend to try "Fight against white supremacy & fight against black supremacy" (Nelson Mandela) in order for there to be peace. I believe many supremacist ideologies but they are flawed when rabid nationalism comes into the picture. As much as we are forced to be like each other in the modern world & look at race supremacists with contempt, we can't overlook simple facts & there are quite obvious differences among all races which may be for or not for that races benefit. You deal with the cards you're dealt with within your race, you don't long for what you do not have whatever race you may be. If your race/nation/ethnicity is good at something, your claim to your supremacy may be valid but in a unified world where every race is often in the same vicinity, understand that your supremacist ideologies will constantly be challenged no matter how much historical evidence there is to prove your pedigree, there's always another tribe/nation/race/ethnicity more than willing to take your place & claim their supremacy.

History of the Mpofana by Mthoko M. Mpofana

I'm not very traditional, I'm more straightforward & basic & often disregard cultural nuances so this history of the Mpofana tribe is going to be as direct & concise as possible.  Growing up, I grew up knowing that the clan praises or izithakazelo of the Mpofana are "Zulu" & "Ntombela", I never questioned that.  What I know now for sure is that there's a lot more that's hidden in history. What I keep seeing being repeated from various sources is that the Mpofana were part of the Amazizi (or AmaTiti) tribe. I now know that in the midlands & perhaps further north, up to the northwestern parts of KZN, they use the greeting "MaZizi okuhlala", perhaps alluding to the fact that the Mpofana as well as other Amazizi tribes were among the original tribes to settle in present-day KZN from 200 AD onwards & the "Dlamini" praise or greeting was used among all Dlamini tribes i. e. the Amahlubi, Amazizi (Mtiti), Hlangwini...

A little about eSayidi ( Port Shepstone )...

Port Shepstone is a small town on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal known by the locals as "eSayidi".  In Port Shepstone, attractions include; Port Shepstone Museum, the annual Sardine Rush, a mall, two shopping centres & the beach.  Port Shepstone was settled by British, Boers & Norwegian settlers during colonisation.  By Port Shepstone is the suburb of Marburg where it's said Emperor Shaka met with Henry Francis Fynn in 1828 after the Zulu's Mpondoland campaign in present-day Eastern Cape. Descendants of Norwegian settlers in KwaZulu-Natal include cricket all-rounder Lance Klusener & South Africa's most successful football coach Gordon Igesund.  Despite many groups living in Port Shepstone including those of east African, west African, southern African, Asian, Arab & American descent, it remains a Zulu-speaking town.  Famous names to come from this small town called Port Shepstone include:  • Naima Kay (Singer...

What would a white exodus in South Africa mean?

Alright, in my previous blog I mentioned a white & Indian exodus in South Africa. We already joke about white people leaving South Africa for Australia, England or Canada & finding the going tough then coming back to South Africa but what if they were to go to a country where everything would be comfortable for them & they would forget about South Africa. What would become of South Africa?  Farmers: We're led to believe that the majority of farmers in South Africa are white so that vaccum would have to be filled & frankly, I don't think the current crop of black farmers can fill the void so we may have to buy food from elsewhere in the world so food prices may increase more than they already have.  Skills exit: Some may claim a skills exit in South Africa would leave a vacuum that would be filled by indigenous black professionals & while that may be true, they'll need to obtain the experience that the former non-black people had. No racism: There would ...
