Heritage Day Special Edition: Nothing is stopping Africans in South Africa from building their own economy except lack of self-confidence
By Sbu Ngubane
There is no question as to who stands to benefit from Radical Economic Transformation. It is the previously oppressed, indeed. But do we have any idea how to go about transforming our shattered lives? Because if we still hope that the ANC is going to fulfil this mandate for us we are fooling ourselves. Our poverty, by now, has escalated way beyond political solutions...
The reason why Cyril Ramaphosa is still in power today after four turbulent years of rough sailing is because the ANC structures are gone. And without ANC structures Ramaphosa is the lifetime president of the ANC and South Africa. Unless if he gets overthrown. His masters have castrated the ANC structures beyond repair to make sure he rules the country until Jesus’ return.
The Branches of the ANC are no longer messengers of the organizations’ loyal voters; they now serve the whims of white monopoly capital. Otherwise, they would have called a Special Conference by now to deal with Ramaphosa.
The Special Conference is not Ramaphosa’s call. When you get deployed to the Presidential office for the next five years by the ANC, the organisation doesn’t lend you the dictatorial powers to govern the country as you wish, in between.
So the only structure in the ANC that could have overruled the Covid-19 imposed restrictions by Ramaphosa to conveniently avoid the NGC and accountability after we had proven several times in our analysis that what is killing people is not a virus but anthrax; were the Branches. To this day they have not demanded the NGC nor convened a Special Conference to oust him.
A serious issue like the so called Covid-19 ‘pandemic’ required that Ramaphosa consults with the Branches first before announcing lockdown restrictions, unleashing police brutality and the army on civilians.
But because he undermines the ANC, he didn’t follow due processes, as a token of his dictatorship. He knew the Branches would ask him many questions he wouldn’t be able to answer about Covid-19. He knew Covid-19 was no pandemic at all but an instrument from the West to deal with his enemies in the ANC for the next five years. South African mineral wealth under the soil is what is currently keeping the Rothschild family on top of the world.
But even when the situation escalated; the Branches defied calls for a Special Conference because its leaders are still working in the ANC Municipalities across the country, so to hell with how ANC voters felt out there about Ramaphosa and his unwarranted torture of the people with lockdowns in the name of the ANC.
In spite of a number of Black people dying for nothing under the guise of Covid-19, particularly the ANC’s prominent leaders, so far the Branches haven’t even marched to Pretoria to demand the resignation of Ramaphosa for the past four painful years.
If the Branches marched tomorrow to demand Ramaphosa’s resignation, he has no option but to resign because he will forever avoid the NGC and the National Conferences with lockdowns. Look at how he conveniently moved the country to level 2 to allow local elections to take place in November although the ANC is not ready, just to let the opposition parties take all the municipalities away from the ANC.
It just doesn’t ring any sense to the Branches as to why this Covid-19 has only targeted and killed ANC leaders like Zindzi Mandela, Jackson Mthembu, Nonhle Mkhulisi, Ricardo Mthembu, Gordon Kegakilwe and Meshack Radebe, yet no Democratic Alliance leader so far has died of the same ‘virus’. Who is going to vote for people who pretend not to see an anti-ANC war being waged in front of their own eyes? An indication that money corrupts even the noblest of men and women.
Our Real Enemy
But do we still know, as a nation, who the enemy of our economic liberation is amidst this cyclone of mainstream media propaganda, mind-games and buck blaming? 
I spoke to one of the brightest Black business minds in the country, a Radical Economic Transformation activist a day before yesterday. The first question I asked him was why Black business, financially speaking, is not coming to the table to assist Radical Economic Transformation activists?
Yes, we all know who is taking care of all these house niggers and RET enemies you see every day on TV defending the apartheid economy with empty promises. These worthless loafers going around selling you a dream of an economic turnaround that will never happen, fully aware that robotics and artificial intelligence, otherwise known as the 4th Industrial Revolution have now taken over your roles in the factories. They are doing their utmost best to hold back the poor masses from countering 4IR with 5th Agricultural revolution.
These leeches are well fed by their masters, boasting double chins, fat noses and pot bellies. Cheese is running thorough their veins, they are fat since it pays dividends to assist imperialists to destroy Black people, ask the Uncle Toms of yonder. But where is pro-RET Black business to finance Radical Economic Transformation activities?
Tender systems
For example; we saw a number of expensive cars being repossessed by the NPA’s Forfeiture Unit last year in the Free State province. Multimillionaires accused of having benefitted irregularly during ANC SG Ace Magashule’s tenure as a Provincial Premier losing their Bentleys and houses.
But not all these millionaires lost their assets and money in this fashion. Now the question is; where are all these people hiding, across all 9 Provinces, who benefitted through tenders in the previous administration, now that former President Jacob Zuma needs funds for his endless court cases?
This lends credence to the white racist speculation that one hand doesn’t wash another in our Black society. If you benefitted from Zuma’s administration, for example, and you are today a millionaire, must you be reminded that you should contribute to his legal fees?
How can we be so selfish as a nation, yet we know that one’s empowerment in the ANC should give rise to an empowerment for all. And you still wonder why no crowd of support shows up in court when these non-reciprocating tender beneficiaries appear before the kangaroos?
It is because no one remembers their contribution to the downtrodden and to the prevailing peoples’ struggle for economic freedom. Our liberation stalwarts must be turning in their graves to see what money has done to the spirit of ubuntu; something we once proudly referred to as ‘an injury to one is an injury to all.’ 
It is no secret that the only ticket to wealth accumulation as a Black person in South Africa is either through a government tender acquisition or Black Economic Empowerment deals (BEE). The latter is strictly reserved for apartheid spies hence it involves the cooperation of the white monopoly capitalists.
There is no Black person we know in South Africa who is a billionaire, yet is not flagged in the ANC’s intelligence dossiers as an apartheid spy. Otherwise, if you are found wealthy as a Black person outside these economic parameters you are automatically labelled a corrupt individual. Ask the late Zola Mahobe and the Gupta brothers. 
Creating a System only to Criminalise It at Your Own Convenience
Now that Europeans have started criminalising the tender system, there is no other way straightforward Black people could become rich in South Africa. Ask Khusela Diko. ANC factionalism aside, where is it written that as a Presidential spokesperson your spouse should not apply for a government tender? Or in the case of Tshepiso and Thato Magashule, where is it written that as a son of an ANC Secretary General you should not apply for a government tender?
Why are Western white racists twisting the laws they created themselves at the Codesa table to conveniently call Blacks corrupt and block Black economic empowerment like this in South Africa? Because it is still a criminal offence to be Black and rich in South Africa!!!
A rich Black person who does not owe his wealth accumulation to the white monopoly capitalists is a ‘rogue element’ that can not be controlled. You must be enriched by white monopoly capitalists in South Africa to qualify as a legit Black business player. These white monopoly capitalists must have something on you before they allow you to have a million rand in your bank account. The consequences of running a democracy side by side with an apartheid economy.
For example, when they recruited spies for the apartheid government in the past, they filmed them agreeing to their terms and conditions. It is these videos of blackmail they have on these apartheid spies that make them even go as far as convincing fellow Black people to take killer vaccines in South Africa.
If I was an apartheid spy, I would have easily broken free of these chains by daring them to reveal the spy tapes and rather live with the consequences instead of spending the rest of my life pulled around from all directions by a blackmailer’s string. One of them apartheid spies could not hold himself on TV last year when he broke down and cried out of guilty conscience during the announcement of the lockdowns. 
Many people thought the reason he broke down and cried like that was because he was feeling sorry for the people. No ways. The real reason the satanic ornament cracked like that is because he knew he was being forced to sell killer vaccines that would destroy millions of innocent lives in the foreseeable future. Something one day he would have to account for before God.
Because from now on the system will render all Black people in South Africa economically disempowered so that by 2030 they will be owning nothing or resting peacefully in their graves. That is what Covid-19 lockdowns are here to do. To kill a sizeable number of Black people with depression and gender based violence, thanks to poverty induced by Covid lockdowns.
Covid-19 is a euphemism for a holocaust aimed at turning a minority of 7 million white racists in South Africa into a majority that rules, hassle free, the world’s wealthiest country come 2030. And the stupid house niggers are willing to help their own racist masters extinguish their own people.
How Do We Break Free from these Economic Shackles?
So the question I posed to the Black businessman is: “Why are we Black people not starting our own economy?
The answer was, “Show me the capital and land to start everything.”
My second question was: “But where was capital when Jan van Riebeeck started his own white monopoly capital economy in South Africa in 1652?”
The answer was, “Don't compare oranges with apples. It’s a land thief you are talking about here. Jan van Riebeeck didn’t buy any land but stole everything from Africans.”
Nonetheless, my argument is that this excuse of lack of capital and land is rather lame. Land is much more important than money. A person with land large enough to cultivate crops and grow livestock can survive without money. Before Europeans arrived here we survived without money.
A person with money can not survive without land, for everything money can buy comes from the land. You can’t eat a piece of paper called money. If a man with land said no I don’t need your money, keep it, a man with money would die of starvation. So land comes first and money is just a source of bartering, something our ancestors lived comfortably without.
Land is everything.
Of course as Black people we don’t have capital, but did the ANC have weapons when it started the armed struggle against the apartheid regime back in 1961? ANC cadres left the country without a single pistol, crossed the borders and mingled with like-minded people who would help them become professional soldiers of war. The ANC started from nothing and worked its way up to international recognition. No enemy can empower you to overthrow its system.
The same thing Zuma did when he realised there was no economic solutions for South Africa in the West; he went East, met with like-minded people and mooted an idea of the BRICS bank that would work in favour of the developing nations.
Would you expect an economic oppressor whose comfort is guaranteed by your poverty to help you raise capital? Do you think they are known as white monopoly capitalists for nothing? We don’t have land, yes, but if you open your eyes wider, you will realise that we do have some land. For a start up. The land that belongs to our monarchs. What businesses have we started on this land with the little that we have?
Last time I checked, monarchs were not selling Black people the land. It’s there for free. But we don’t want to go there looking for land because we don’t actually want total economic emancipation. We are trying to improve our position inside the white monopoly capital structure.
What happened at Macambini in Zululand when investors from Dubai tried to assist the local chief and his people start a Black economy there? The white monopoly capitalists in South Africa activated their own Black agent, who is a leader of an opposition party in the KwaZulu-Natal province to start a political rebellion there.
Suddenly this political leader, who is well known for leading the poor of the poorest Municipalities in the Province while he blames the ANC for everything under the sun promised Emacambini residents that ‘better investors from the West are coming to create sustainable jobs for you’.
The Dubai investors were blocked more than seven years ago but the people of Emacambini are still waiting for Western investors to come and create jobs as they had promised.
A few years later, when the local Chief Khayelihle Mathaba started asking questions about empty promises from Western investors, he died in a mysterious car accident in 2014. This is a warning to all traditional leaders in KZN to learn from the people of Emacambini of what happens when you trust an old, false prophet with your own future.
The point is that the chief’s land may not be as fertile as a stolen settler land but it can build factories and grow some agricultural produce, for a start. Every African person has a clan in South Africa. That clan has land presided over by a chief of that clan on behalf of the people and that land your clan possesses is your own land. Why don’t we start here building our own economy, on this clan land?
Case Study: Orania, Northern Cape
Look at Orania. A bunch of lazy Afrikaners turned this countryside farm into a small economic hub inside South Africa through a piece of land they claim they purchased. Now why are Black people not utilising their own clan land to start their own economy in South Africa?
Why our Black entrepreneurs want to start their own economy within the hostile environment of white monopoly capital and stringent by-laws of the Western metropolis, hence you hear them white racists saying, “You Black people don’t want to build anything of your own but to take what we have already established for ourselves.” There are many Black farmers, like those belonging to NAFU in KZN, who can supply these enterprises with fresh produce.
Orania has its own constitution and house rules. It is a private property that operates like independent countries like Lesotho and Swaziland, a country within a country.
This land of our own chiefs is a kick-start to our own economic freedom. For example, every land that is presided over by AmaBomvu chief from Msinga to Kranskop to Dalton and Bulwer is my own land as a Ngubane. Every Ngubane holds a title deed to this land. I need nobody’s permission to set up anything of my own liking in this land of my ancestors as a Ngubane because it is my own private property by birthright. So is every piece of land ruled by your own clan chief, it belongs to you.
So before we start redistributing stolen land to expand our fiefdoms, let’s see how much commitment do we have to start utilising what we already have at our disposal to start our own economy where we are.
If Orania is allowed to use its own currency in the Northern Cape, what is stopping us as Black people to establish our own supermarkets, Malls, Shopping Centres, factories, whatever, and trade with countries of our liking like Russia, North Korea, China, Vietnam, Iran, Venezuela, Brazil or Cuba. We have a right to choose economies of our choices the same way we go to the voting stations every other five years to choose governments of our choice.
We have a right to reject corrupt markets of the West in favour of markets that would treat us as equals, respect and treat us as partners rather than scavengers in our own country. So why not turn that clan land of yours into another Orania, even if it means you don’t have to create racist, segregative laws like those Orania is known for?
