Black Americans (USA) vs Zulus vs black Caribbeans vs West Africans

This is just a comparison between four of the most of the most well-know black identities in the world. Just a measure of speed, strength & wealth. 

Speed: Fastest black American is Tyson Gay with a time of 9.69 seconds in the 100 metre sprint. Fastest Caribbean is Usian Bolt with a time of 9.58 seconds. Fastest Zulu is Thandolwenkosi Dlodlo with a personal best of 10.08 seconds over 100 metres. Fastest West African is Nigerian Olusoji Fasuba with a personal best of 9.85 seconds in 100 metres. 

Winner: Caribbean


Strength: Strongest black Usonian is Mark Henry who could deadlift 420 kg, strongest black Caribbean man is Karel Mars who could deadlift 312.5 kg, strongest Zulu man is Thobelani Mabaso who can deadlift 385 kg, strongest West African is Cheick "Iron Biby" Sanou who can deadlift 307.5 kg. 

Winner: Black Usonians


Money: Richest black Usonian is Robert Smith who is said to have a net worth of US$ 5 billion. Richest black Caribbean is allegedly Blossom O’Meally-Nelson who is said to have a net worth of US$ 1 billion. Richest Zulu man is apparently Vusi Thembekwayo who has a net worth of US$ 550 million. Richest West African is Aliko Dangote with a net worth of US$ 13.5 billion making him the richest black man in the world. 

Winner: West Africa 


Zulu people may not have the fastest, strongest or richest man in the world but we're probably better on average in those fields. We're fast in marathons, have been world champions in various fields & have the most travelled black person in the world in Sibusiso Vilane.

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 ...
