These past days I have been bombarded by ignorant people trying to explain my own history to me. I am proudly South African and the experiences of my country and the ramifications of it would make me a disgusting hypocrite for not supporting the Palestinian cause.

South African apartheid and Palestinian apartheid have intrinsically connected since their beginning. The exact same rhetoric used during the South African apartheid era to discredit the resistance is being used against the Palestinian resistance.

The ANC were labeled a terrorist group. Nelson Mandela was labeled a terrorist and was only taken off terrorist watch a few years before his death.

The word terrorist should not be used lightly unless you are willing to call despicable people like Golda Meir, Netanyahu, Bush and the innumerable other warmongering, soulless fascists terrorists as well.

I’ve been receiving comments saying I that I think I’m smarter than everyone with regards to this topic. Obviously, this isn’t true but it is a universal fact that outside of Palestine, South Africans have the most insight on the situation.

So DO NOT preach my history to me. DO NOT try to tell me what Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela and the ANC were and were not.

Most of these comments come from privileged white people who live in privileged countries and have never experienced a day of real oppression.

WINNIE MADIKIZELA-MANDELA // POLITICIAN

“She was a South African anti-apartheid activist and politician, and the second wife of Nelson Mandela. She served as a Member of Parliament from 1994 to 2003, and from 2009 until her death and was a deputy minister for arts and culture from 1994 to 1996. A member of the African National Congress (ANC) political party, she served on the ANC’s National Executive Committee and headed its Women’s League. She was known to her supporters as the “Mother of the Nation”. She became Mandela’s public face during the 27 years he spent in jail. She was detained by apartheid state security services on various occasions, tortured, subjected to banning orders, and banished to a rural town, and she spent several months in solitary confinement. In the 1980s she became a controversial figure as she was condemned by the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.”

Jonny Steinberg – Winnie & Nelson

Over Nelson las ik al het een en ander, maar Winnie bleef meestal behoorlijk onderbelicht. En dat is met deze biografie rechtgezet. Portret van een huwelijk, is de ondertitel. Wat een huwelijk. Alleen het begin al. Hij was nog getrouwd, zij hield er een ander vriendje op na, want je wist maar nooit. Dan stiekem in een klein dorp, ver van alles, trouwen en een jaar later door een flinke…

I’m never going to condemn Russia

I’m never going to condemn Palestine/hamas

I’m never going to condemn China

I’m never going to condemn the Somalian coast guard

I’m never going to condemn the Eff

I’m never going to condemn the MK

I’m never going to condemn Winnie Mandela and her actions.

Die mad about it. Unfollow, block, threaten, scream, hate crime me, I don’t give a fuck. The real villains are in Western Europe and the United States of America and the illegitimate state of Israel and NATO.

Work begins on Britain's first centre to the anti-apartheid movement

WORK on Britain’s first centre dedicated to the anti-apartheid movement is set to begin in London following a £1.2 million National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, a charity has announced.

As the Morning Star reported, the site of the former headquarters of the African National Congress (ANC) in Penton Street, Islington, will be restored to create the Anti-Apartheid Legacy Centre of Memory & Learning, social justice body the Liliesleaf Trust said.

Between 1978 and 1994, the building was a hub for coordinating international opposition to South African apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation designed by the descendants of white settler populations.

The London site was home to ANC leaders Oliver Tambo and Thabo Mbeki, who eventually replaced Nelson Mandela as South African president in 1999 following the country’s transition to inclusive democracy.
