Anc and Joe Slovo

ANC and Joe Slovo ANC took on the white -run system and won, we hoped for a new free country an apartheid- free land The “Rainbow Nation sprung to life reconciliation, dancing in the streets, which have become crime-ridden by now. But the ANC cannot rule forever, and it is fossilised And has of lately written history that leaves out many. Indian and white people who helped to end apartheid Are being pushed aside like it was only a black affair. Do you remember Joe Slovo and fought for a free Africa For forty years, ah, but, he was white and a Jew, he gave All he had for the cause, but now slowly like many Indians Are pushed into the background. I think the leadership ANC have been corrupted it will sink To the level of Zimbabwe, they broke their promise to help Soweto, but it is still there, Joe Slovo is no more. I see it is difficult to get American readers to take an interest in something that is not about the USA and sugar-coated love stories "house on the Prairie stuff"
