Expressing my views and supporting everyone's right to Free Speech permits me to make my thoughts known and keep fighting the System of Oppression.. Filtering out the rhetoric and the propaganda allows us to form informed opinions based on logic and reason. I am not about to keep quiet when injustice creeps nor am I going to sit down and allow falsified versions of our history as children of the s...

Let's get into it.

When something is planned by the elites, it will be carefully orchestrated to divert our attention from the truth. The roll-out will be massive and newspapers will fly off the shelves, radio stations will be a buzz and the keyboard warriors shall begin trolling those who question the authenticity of the narrative that is being pushed. In today's episode we talk about this. For more on this, kindly...

The National Shutdown which survived the winds of propaganda generated by the SA Government under the ANC and its partner in oppression the DA was a success. It also marked the start of a new era, where ANC officials expose themselves through the jabs they throw on social media and public platforms. If this is what the new dawn meant then they can keep it and allow the citizens of the country deci...

I'm done with the selective outrage. Putting an end to corruption became a motto that helped them instill a sense of hope and their capability to achieve this goal, however this did not end well due to their failure to uproot the cause of corruption without being biased in their approach. We are faced with a problem of crooks in suits, that carry badges who hold senior positions that are alleged t...

There is a danger in not looking into the so-called solutions to our problems that the governments and capitalists present us. It is also weird to come for those who question the credibility of what is presented to us as facts, why punish them for having opposing views that provide a different perspective on your program if it is what you say it is? In today's episode we get into this. Kindly visi...

When the news first broke out about a looming resignation from the outgone Deputy President, Mr David Dabede Mabuza and a pending cabinet reshuffle. It got us thinking about what the outcomes would be and if it would be beneficial to the citizens of this country or not. The reshuffle was long overdue but then again as a county sikhapile.

This is for those who claim to be patriots on the voyage to free Southy from "foreigners" who were born on the mother continent, you need to stop it with the weirdness and wake up!

Despite every person in South Africa having the right to a local government that functions well by providing basic services without any complications- corruption has defeated the chance of government ever being able to fulfill it’s role in the delivery of basic services. Whistle-blowers are important for the uprooting of the ills. When a Whistle-blower exposes the rot in the system it comes at a c...

On the 30th of September the multi-party coalition in the COJ collapsed after she was removed as the Mayor, despite her attempts to stop this from happening through garnering support from the masses with her #HandsOffJohannesburg strategy to save the city. The coalition consisted of the DA, ActionSA, Inkatha Freedom Party,FF+,Patriotic Alliance, ACDP,COPE,UIM and the ATM. She was ousted by 139 cou...

Mama understood the power of the pen and she did not play when it came to opening the doors of oppression that were designed to keep black women out of the world of media and communication. She was the first to write an autobiography and the first black female editor of ‘The New Strand’. She is among the remarkable queens who laid the foundation we continue to build on as black female writers. In...

When those who continue to step our necks come out and parade themselves as revolutionaries, quoting the likes of uTat’Hani I can’t help but wonder why they think we are blind to the truth. Tat’Chris Hani, was a beacon of hope for the oppressed not only in South Africa but the Mother continent and the rest of the world. He stood out from those he led with as a true revolutionary of the working cla...

The void that exists in Africa with regards to leaders who are capable and genuine to the cause continues to deepen. Instead of improving the living conditions of their people, todays leaders float on the waves made by revolutionary leaders who came before them. We no longer have leaders of integrity and vision. In today's episode we tell the story of a young and radical leader who was among the f...
