I’ve just
watched the video of the four brave and courageous Black wombmen (including Simamkele
Dlakavu and Naledi Chirwa – don’t know the names of the other two) who restored
the memory of Zuma’s rape of sista Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo (Kwezi) about a
decade ago.
More than
anything, I was very disturbed by the active display of Zuma’s body-guards (old,
ugly, terrifying Black men) snatching their placards, pushing and shoving the
four sistaz – with anger all over their faces. For the first time, that was
just a slap of patriarchy right in my face.
Something
just rose up inside me and I boiled with anger seeing this bullshit. Those
wombmen posed no security threat to Zuma or any of the shameful “dignitaries”
there.
Why did
those old, ugly, terrifying Black men (body-guards) push, shove and heckle at our
sistaz when they posed no threat to Zuma’s body; what exactly were these old,
ugly, terrifying body-guards protecting/concealing?
Protecting
a RAPIST and concealing RAPE.
These four
sistaz had a silent and non-violent protest against a violation of a Black
wombman. Yet they were removed violently by men, all this happening during so-called
Woman’s Month, few days before Woman’s Day.
If these
four wombmen were treated with such violence infront of cameras on national
television, imagine the kind of violence Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo (Kwezi)
experienced at the hands of ANC cronies and members who wanted to protect Zuma
at all costs.
Imagine the
kind of violence that forces a wombman, a rape victim to flee her own
motherland, her own country to be exiled in a foreign land. This Black wombman,
forced to run from home to a whiteboy’s land, Amsterdam, to be comforted and
supported by whites.
This week,
in celebration of Women’s Month, the ANC will be hosting cocktails talking
about wombmen this! wombmen that!
Yet, the
ANC Women’s League and women leaders in the ANC, like Bathabile Dlamini,
condemned these four brave Queens who reminded us of sista Fezekile Ntsukela
Kuzwayo (Kwezi), protecting the rapist pimp Zuma.
The ANC
Women’s League is like the mother who refuses to listen to her daughter when
she tells her that “mama, daddy raped me”, and instead lashes out at her –
protecting the rapist dad.
Jacob Zuma
raped Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo, the daughter of his late friend Judson Kuzwayo,
his fellow prisoner on Robben Island who died in exile.
It’s quite
interesting to note how Fezekile’s name was changed to ‘Kwezi’ – to protect her
identity - and she remains faceless, unknown, exiled in a white foreign land,
Amsterdam. Comforted and supported by whites there.
Zuma and
the ANC would wish that she dies in exile, just like her father, Zuma’s buddy.
Damn, my
Black Sisters, I now overstand your pain better. We really need each other.
