Aftermath of a possible racial war in South Africa.

Before the end of Apartheid in 1994, a lot was said to be going on in South Africa leading up to South Africa's first democratic elections. Among these, often violent, events was allegation of external forces which wanted to provoke a civil war among blacks & whites of South Africa. This while South Africa still, likely, had nuclear weapons. The Apartheid government has since dismantled it's nuclear weapons, doing so just before losing power to the "government of national unity". How would this racial civil war play out today? And what would be the result if a war against black & white happened in South Africa? 

2021 July Unrest racial altercation.

• Firstly, Boer militias would want to keep strongholds in cities & towns but would most likely be overpowered by numbers & guerrilla tactics of the majority black group of South Africa. 

• External (overseas) support for the white cause may arrive in personell & arms (i. e. drones, high-tech rifles & armed vehicles or tanks). So this would add to the whites advantage which may lead them to win some towns but larger cities would be harder to win if not impossible to win. 

• Support for the white cause by other minorities within South Africa will be a small boost. Maybe Indians & coloureds of South Africa will be divided on which side to back but many would fight for whites using guerrilla tactics themselves. 

• The only advantage black people of South Africa would have is numbers. And if knowledge on making homemade guns & homemade bombs spreads among the black community, it would ensure the war is near impossible to win for the minorities in South Africa. 

• All races are likely evenly matched in terms of logistics so movement would be almost at a similar level throughout this war.

The result of this race war may lead to a communised state & expulsion or ethnic cleansing to rid the land of all of South Africa's minority groups. 

This is, obviously, something none of us want because many would lose friends & loved ones. This is just my realistic take on what an all-out race war in South Africa could result in.

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 ...
