KHOTSO MOLEKO | Africans continue to suffer because of ubuntu, culture At the height of apartheid, the rand was strong compared to the US dollar. By 1986, for example, 10 years after the June 16 tragedy, the US dollar was worth more or less R2.50.
This is the reason why all the good wishes and fantasies of the constitution can never be realised because the ancestral spirits were not the reason the unity of black people was achieved, nor were they the ideology that could encourage peace and freedom.
If anything, colonialism and apartheid, and now the failure of the democratic project, as well as the post-independence nightmare across Africa, prove that Africa and Africans will continue to be the scum of the world. We can pretend that everything is fine and hide behind the African Renaissance or the need to be sensitive in our isolated and privileged bases inherited from oppression, but the extent of suffering and pain is written on the face and in the lives of black people.
No one can be above their spirituality and if history is analysed, it is clear that the spirituality of Africans, for the most part, does not want them to be heads but tails. Xenophobia, tribalism, corruption, exacerbated poverty, police brutality by black people on black people as well as poor economies are only a fruit of this reality, and Africans would rather sustain misery and incompetence, in the name of ubuntu, and, our culture.
