It is exactly 72 hours before you make the most important decision of our country from a historical point of view: to prolong or end the suffering of blacks, especially Africans, since the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck 367 years ago, including 46 years old. apartheid and 25 years of mismanagement and corruption of the ANC.
In the long run, good will always triumph over evil. The only question that concerns you personally is whether the suffering will be stopped now or at another future date and especially if it can be stopped peacefully or by some other unknown and destructive method.
One thing is certain, the ANC is unable to end the economic enslavement of the African peoples. It was sold in the 1990s when it agreed to give up its socialist promise of neoliberalism and capitalism for $ 800 million of "donated" costs by the West.

This marked the abandonment of practically all 10 clauses of the Freedom Charter, including "The People Will Govern," "All Will Share the Wealth of the Country" and Underground Property Ownership by the Whole. of the population, not to mention the land issue.
For African blacks, there are only two realistic alternatives in this election. EFF vote or ANC vote. I say that with all due respect to the dozens of smaller, progressive, black-headed parties. Everyone agrees that voting is a means of expression. Vote, that is to speak.
What will you say on May 8, 2019? By voting ANC, you will declare: "I am satisfied with the dark conditions of the past 25 years. I will be happy if we are here 50 years later.
I understand and condone state capture, the empowerment of elites on behalf of all blacks, the greatest inequality in the world, the lack of land, the persistence of racism and the fact of to be called and seen as a "kaffir", growing squatter camps, unhedged hospitals, latrine schools, unworthiness of the buckets system, foreign ownership of our lands and our minerals to develop other countries ", for to name a few.
The ANC has not directly caused all these ills. They are the legacy of colonialism and apartheid. But the ANC is unable to prevent these things from getting worse over the next 25 years. Simply because she chose, wrongly, to adopt the same system that provoked them. He chose reform rather than redesign.
He chose to serve the "investors" and not the people. Their Freedom Charter says "Markets will govern". In doing so, the ANC is defined and is part of the problem and not the solution for blacks and Africans in general. The post-Nasrec ANC, under the direction of Cyril Ramaphosa, is even more part of the problem than before.
Someone once said that waiting for a billionaire to fundamentally disrupt the very system that makes him a billionaire is the clbadic definition of insanity. When Ramaphosa called for a "concomitant action" against the Marikana strikers, he was not an animal. He acted according to the precepts of the system that created him.
When he bought a buffalo for 20 million rand, he was simply his new self. Profit above people is the fundamental law of the system, which made him a billionaire without having to run a single company. No activist could have asked a minister to "bring police or the army" to Marikana, knowing that the only task of the army is to kill. When the government responded by introducing minivan vans before "concomitant action", it showed the message strong and clear.
Lily: The loss of voters from the ANC is a gain for the EFF, Eskom reinforcing the perception of corruption
So do not be surprised that all white-owned and white-controlled media aspire to an ANC / Ramaphosa victory. Similarly, the international capital via its spokesmen, the Times Magazine, The Economist and now the Washington Post, have openly endorsed Ramaphosa. If you are black, ask yourself why, since the colonial and apartheid era, the system prefers some black "leaders" and that the true liberators are demonized and portrayed as demons with horns.
Yesterday, the leaders of the homeland sold out were angels and the ANC the devil. Today, the ANC are angels and the EFF the devil. My people, let us use our brains. The reality is that the EFF is really the last hope for blacks, especially Africans. Ironically, this is the only hope for all South Africans, be they black or white. Only when we face the truth of our past can we build a peaceful and united future.
The current neo-apartheid practiced under the ANC is only a postponement of the revolution. It will never work. The conditions of blacks can only get worse: more poverty, more misery, more inequality, more squatter camps, more crime and more corruption guaranteed. In Fanonian terms, I refer to the last 25 years of neo-apartheid in which "naturalistic" liberators literally put themselves in the place of the colonial oppressor, changing little or nothing and leaving the central system intact.
If you are homeless, it does not matter if the person at the origin of this situation is white or black. At worst, it is morally worse that it is done by the one you consider as your own flesh and blood. But in objective reality, it makes no difference. He must be fought with equal, if not more, determination than before – sparing neither strength nor courage! It is a logical impossibility that the apartheid system can be reformed.
Only a complete and peaceful reversal of the system by the people, mainly its victims, can lead to a new nation. The land issue is at the center of this debate. The issue of education is too. The same is true for equal access to the country's wealth, including its minerals, water, electricity, spectrum and other public resources. The architects of apartheid understood it. This is why access has only been granted to whites. All that remains to be done is to give access to all South Africans.
It is a very rich country. Economic resources are not lacking. Never be fooled by this. The false question that is often asked in the EFF is: where will the money come from to pay double the social benefits, provide free education, give access to health, and so on? This is a false question because we, the citizens, give the government nearly 1.5 trillion rand every twelve months to provide exactly such services to all.
Currently, most of this money is wasted every year in cases of corruption, irregular spending, fraudulent fraud, unnecessary spending such as the management of "provinces" vain, the new homelands, an overburdened government, two Government seats more than 1,000 km away grant grants to 16 million people, mostly young and valid, to crime prevention whose root causes are economic, securing colonial "borders" to name a few -unes.
The simple economy will tell you that by putting more disposable income to the people, not only is the life of the beneficiaries improved, but the economy is also stimulated to create more jobs. Similarly, by significantly improving infrastructure, citizens' lives are simplified, but millions of jobs are created, freeing millions of people from dependency on subsidies.
You can really double the amount of social grants by halving the number of beneficiaries, without adding a cent to the budget! The question of where the money will come from is a lazy economy and a refusal to think creatively. It is intended to condemn blacks to perpetual misery and misery. Free education and #MakingEducationFashionable, the other next flagship policies of the EFF, are of course not "free".
It is the taxpayer who pays the price, but it is the best investment he can make. An investment in future generations. The apartheid government has been providing free education to white children for decades, precisely because it included the logic of investing in the future. Today, the unemployment rate among Africans is nearly 50% and among whites it is 5%.
This is a direct consequence of the biased educational system of the past, providing free and equal education to white children and a relatively better education for Indians and peoples of color. Today, the beneficiaries of this system consider that its planned expansion with Africans is "disastrous", even though it is responsible for the quality of their lives today. The state, they tell us now, should play no role in providing basic services and jobs.
The market is the only tool. Privatize everything. The ANC, who bought such nonsense, is no different than the prophets of doom, such as Pastor Lukan and other pastors of snakes. Believe that Cyril Ramaphosa and his greedy "investors" can ever change the black historical situation through the "black" economic empowerment is no different from the story of Nongqawuse, who managed to convince the blacks to burn their fields and kill all their cattle and cattle so that the white man can be driven to the sea and the dead rise!
Please do not duplicate this credulity more than 150 years later by voting for a spooky and guaranteed nightmare. The prescriptions contained in the EFF People's Manifesto are indeed radical. This is simply because the historical illness is acute. You do not treat cancer by taking painkillers.
No amount of "reform" and DIY at the borders while leaving the system intact can address the inherited structural defects of the past 367 years. We must take the pain that comes with the surgery. If we want to heal our bad past, we must take the pain that comes with the necessary surgery.
To bring about a new nation, the pain of childbirth can not be dodged. We can not have a "new" South Africa without killing old South Africa – metaphorically of course. White supremacy and white privilege must disappear. And it must go NOW! To vote for the EFF, it is to vote for a peaceful future and really free for all ours, in black and white. It may not look like that.
The dream of a free, non-racial and prosperous South Africa can not be built on lies. We must be honest with each other and exercise the ghost of colonialism, apartheid and neo-apartheid. This goal can only be achieved by the removal of the ANC, the only stumbling block between us and the realization of the aspirations of those who died in the fight against the landless and exploitation.
The ANC is the only conservative of our ugly past and its current legacy. Let's listen to the message of the people of Johannesburg, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and Nelson Mandela Bay in 2016! Even if you do not understand or accept the message of the EFF, or if you still doubt the determination and patriotism of its leaders, then please vote for any other party progressive or ruin your vote.
Do not vote for the DA or FF Plus. They yearn for apartheid and racism. Do not vote for the ANC. It is intentionally or unconsciously the last hope for racists and those who benefit from the status quo in 25 years, the situation will only worsen.
A better life for all means a better life for some, mostly whites, with some black beneficiaries. To end on a lighter note, and considering the platform of this article, the only message that must resonate in the ears of all who love their children and want them to inherit freedom, equality and of dignity, is: "Do not vote ANC Don Do not vote! "
