Everyday Is Heritage Day

By Sicebise Msengana 

While the rest of South Africa celebrated Heritage Day, a public picked for them by their oppressors. Some of us don't need a white man's holiday to acknowledge our African roots. Everyday is Heritage Day to us. Everyday we consult our ancestors. Everyday we read black history. Everyday we defend black people. Everyday we pray to Qamata, not some white Jesus or Arabic Allah. Everyday we slaughter to appease abantu abadala. Everyday we lit imphepho and candles. 

Be African and Proud

I always see the self-hating attitudes towards Africa as coping mechanisms against the 500 year-old racist anti-African propaganda. People whose ancestors suffered slavery and social degradation developed certain survival traits to cope with their surroundings. The invention of races was one of the darkest moments in human history , W. E. B.

By Sicebise Msengana 

King George V and Tsar Nicholas II looked alike that they were often mistaken for the same person during ceremonies, events and family gatherings. It was hard to tell them apart. Kaiser Wilhelm II, George V and Tsar Nicholas II were cousins through their grandmother, Queen Victoria. However, being related through blood didn't stop them from going to war with each other for world domination.

Africa Doesn't Need Sick People

One brother once said to me “I never will get tested. I don’t want to be stressed out about my status.” Well, that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard in my life. I tried to hide my dissatisfaction, I couldn’t help but think that it is impossible for the African people to advance, grow and stand as a DIGNIFIED and RESPECTED people among other nations, when we neglect a very important essential part of nation building: health care.
