This was inspired by the article- South Africa: of self hate and Xenophobia, published by the Blueprint News paper (page 2) and written by Gimba Kakanda.
Its creation’s simplicity still stands as a difficult puzzle head is twisted backwards while in a forward motion still looking behind at the chronicles of some centuries ago long before the infiltration of Christian missionaries and Arab traders is the exact factor making its existence seemingly complex. Foreign politics and faiths both adopted, have tied it with the ropes of inferiority systematically indoctrinated to condemn its history, personality and civilization, while grabbing other languages and cultures so dearly to the point of blindly pushed into Anarchy. The modern world is on a high speed, excuses of the west’s exploitations to build their civilizations are noisy complaints and already cliched. Small islands with no natural resources as Singapore; the awe of the miracle of the Han River portrayed by south Korea and the magical performance of India in information technology are evidences of old colonies beating their colonizers in some phases of development. From Abuja to Addis Ababa, Khartounm to Kigali, no Caucasian is seen, staying in charge of its state houses but to give reasons to its mediocrity and indifference, conspiracy theories and neo-imperialism twaddle are coined. All these, just complications of a chronic low self esteem but unfortunately manifesting at a time it should be confident in the chaotic universe of western imperialism, Christian materialism and Arab expansionism.
