UBUNTU DOES NOT MEAN FORGIVENESS

By Thando Sipuye

Black people know that UBUNTU does not mean you forgive an enemy. An enemy is always an enemy. A snake is always a snake. Don't ever get con-fused. You kill it. If you don't, it will bite you, its venomous poison paralyze and destroy you completely. 

Ultimately, you die.

UBUNTU does not mean docility and being sheepish as these would be shepherds have made us believe. UBUNTU means you claim and assert your personhood, your culture, your sovereignty, your identity - the totality and wholeness of your being. 

Our land is our soul.

They have used UBUNTU to pacify our people. In the name of UBUNTU our people condemned themselves to death! Enemies stroll and roll around in the land of our Ankhcestors.

They laugh and mock at us.

The snake/enemy continues to suck the lifeblood of our people. The soul of our land dies. All under the guise of UBUNTU. The Oppenheimers, De Beers, Anglo-American, Lonmin, Amplats, the Ruperts, the Ackermans. Raping and sodomizing us daily.

All under demoncracy. This is their 'human rights'. Black people have suffered so many evils - committed by whites, scavengers, robbers, rapists and killers from Europe.

They rob. They kill. They lie.

UBUNTU does not mean forgiveness. And there is nothing wrong in hating your enemy. Be not deceived or manipulated. Those who benefit from evil are evil. Make no mistake about it.

Their strategy is to charge us guilty when we express our anger and resentment. This is all part of the white master plan. Blame the victims and remain the victors they say to themselves! Well, to hell with them!

Never forget the history of white settlers in Azania. Remember what they call the 'KAFFIR WARS' fought courageously by our Ankhcestors in defense of UBUNTU - our land, our culture, our divinity, our personhood, our spirituality, our whole being.

Countless atrocities committed in our land by white criminals. Suffering, poverty, broken families, pain and death of Black people. Converting Black humanity to animals.

To destroy a nation, destroy the family.

This is what they have done. This is what they do. This is what they will continue to do. You must care less what the snake/enemy that has bitten/poisoned you feels or thinks. You have no moral obligations nor relations to that snake/enemy.

Kill it.
