Top 5 African leaders.

These are the leaders I feel made a monumental difference in the African continent & made improvements for the betterment of their people as well as Africans in general:  1) Hannibal: I feel this man is the original King Cetshwayo, he fought against the Roman Empire inflicting devastating defeats. He was a general in the Carthage military. I feel his name has echoed throughout history for a reason & should continue to be immortalized through the ages.  2) Akhenaten / Amenhotep IV: I, actually, did not believe that Egypt had black Pharoahs but to my surprise, they did. Egypt was conquered by an African tribe called the  Nubians  from further up the Nile.  3) Sankara. 4) Idi Amin: I feel Idi Amin Dada challenged the inferiority complex that is so frequently bestowed upon Africans. Even if some claim that he was mad, I think he turned the tables on the global status quo. When Africans were thought of as obedient & submissive to ...

What really is best for South Africa?

Bloggers have no real relevance except supply content for curious people who have time to waste on the internet so I don't expect my opinion to be taken seriously. But if we could create the best possible South Africa, with all the knowledge & research available, how would such a country look like? Is the existence of South Africa itself really the best thing for it's people? Considering the history of South Africa, if we do the calculations, what is it's future? Will the future of South Africa remain leftist & liberal or will we slowly start wising over to the right (conservativism)? Who will be South African then? And who will be excluded from being South African if this name & "identity" still exists? Countries change, especially ones as unstable as South Africa. Whether change will be good for the average South African or leave him & his kind out in the cold depends on what happens today. What is the best for South Africa?    President Mthokozi...

What is a country?

Dictionary meaning of a country.  By this definition Cascadia, Coptic Egypt, Ambazonia, Orania & Tembuland are official but unrecognised countries. A country is simply a region classified by a nation whether it has constructed borders or not.

Kwatuism: Africa's only centre-right political system.

There are many political systems around such as Marxism (communism), socialism, Maoism, Stalinism, Leninism, Nazism etc. in the world but none are as practical for Trans-Saharan Africa as Kwatuism. Below I will list what followers of this political system coined "Kwatuism" believe.  1) The ethnostate or, at least, a single-language state : The Kwatuist believes a land that is not unified by, at least, language cannot move forward. A single-ethnicity & single-language state is ideally Kwatuan because it's how Kwatu (Africa) was originally. No Nazi-like or fascist persecutions of minorities just cultural & language unity through the education system.  2) Established/ancient customs prioritised : Cultural practices are prioritised by the Kwatuist state & often made public holidays such as indigenous festivals & ancient practices as well as traditional leaders being part of the land's governance this means chiefs having a place in the land's parliame...

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 ...

There will never be a perfect country.

I speak ever so frequently about "utopia" & still believe a best possible land is attainable in all circumstances but this is not to say that our utopia will have no troubles. There will always be problems in any country but in a nation-state, there's a "better" pool of problem-solvers because of simple unity. • Non-racialism : In South Africa, we preach non-racialism but our land is very much the opposite. So my solution is to establish a unified national culture with ONE national language. This establishes the direction of the country because a land where everyone is pulling in their own direction becomes almost stagnant. At the same time, we must allow cultural expression for the various groups within the land. • Tribalism : I find the problem of tribalism very petty & unnecessary but some feel their tribe should be above others. That is no way to live in a country with many other tribes. There has to be a standard language & identity as the eter...

The West & the Rest.

This is a blog response to this YouTube video. I mentioned before that I'm no political scholar or have any qualifications on societies in the global world but I do my research on things & do a little sociology research (the study of human societies). I don't think that South Africa, at least my part of South Africa, embraces Western values to the extent many around the world would think. The list of Western values. In South Africa, we frequently flirt with Marxist philosophies which are often seen as anti-Western. We also infuse our African customs with our modern world, African customs which may or may not agree with some Western values. Let me do a comparison of my world in southern KZN, South Africa to the list of these "Western values": • Life (Right to life?) : × I'm of the belief that all societies believe in the right to life, South African societies included. But when our murder death rate stats rival those of war zones, we have to questi...

Why monarchy?

Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. In an age where monarchy is seen as an archaic & outdated form of government, I'm glad to have found on the internet, advocates for the original form of national governance that all politics, probably, stems from. Of course, under absolute monarchy we find a tyrant could "rule with an iron fist"  which is why I prefer a constitutional monarchy , where the monarch could be subject to the laws of the land & people have some democratic input in electing members of parliament & when parliament sees fit - to delegate some choices on the land's future to the masses. I believe a monarch should be present in every major national event in a land from sport events, entertainment & cultural events to his main role among the lawmakers in parliament & leader of the land's military. A monarch is a symbol of the land &, I think, does offer more long-term consistency in the land's political sc...

Flawed democracy.

I often read news on the internet on how people are elected & how many people in South Africa cannot vote or simply choose not to vote & I have mentioned before on how I believe democracy is flawed because of corrupt practices but perhaps they are going about things the wrong way by letting literally anyone vote. There was even a movie made about this where a simpleton who couldn't give a damn about anyone had to vote because the election was at a tie & this poor man had the vote to determine a political position.   In the original democracy only select highly-educated & enlightened members of society could vote & I believe it may be better for democracy to return to it's original form. In our case in Africa, chiefs could elect a land's president or prime minister. This would allow for people who know about governance & are born as leaders to elect someone to lead the land.

Sankara & Machel

Machel died in a suspicious plane crash in October 1986, while Sankara was assassinated in October 1987.  I feel like if I were president, this is what my government would have to wear to show they're serious about making the country great.  Remembering Sankara on TALKS WITH MTHOKO .

Politics for beginners.

I'm fairly new in my knowledge of politics & I'm no expert in politics but have somehow been exposed into the political arena of both South Africa & the world. South African politics are a bit more different than around the world because, for me, South African politics is like a horse with a noose around it's testicles. If the horse goes too far, it's in danger of being emasculated so it has to play safe no matter how "thoroughbred" it is or how much it wants to do as it pleases. Certain groups of people feel they have to control the country & stop it from progressing in a way that will give indigenous black people wealth. But I'm not going to explain South African politics in detail, I'm just going to explain enough for the layman to know a thing or two on general world politics. LEFTISM & RIGHTISM: Left-wing or Right-wing politics is respectively Progressive & Conservative politics. How I'd explain this is that Progressives ...
