DARKIE, VOTE ANC OR SUFFER IN DEMOCRATIC APARTHEID.

The ANC is trying to fix a broken nation left after 360 years of apartheid, and if black South Africans want better, they must vote ANC in the next election because there is just no other alternative.

Let me elaborate. When I came to South Africa, there was pervasive black poverty and hopelessness everywhere I went in the country. I had never seen such a level of poverty, deprivation and hopelessness among a people, in my life.

Young men were jack-rolling women, boys made a past time of gang raping girls in what was called ibelt, young girls were sleeping with sugar daddies for Chicken Licken Taxi Two, and murderous gangs were marauding every street of South Africa terrorizing people.

Then, the ANC began to instill hope. I saw people begin to get social grants; blacks were given tenders; communities with resources became wealthier off their resources; women with metric began working in call centers, driving cars, moving out of the townships, bettering their qualifications and growing their dreams beyond limits.

All of a sudden, a black middle class began to emerge. Black people now had something to aspire to and something to lose. Soon the jack-rolling stopped, gangsters like Tebza Ngwana were shot by police, girls lifted their standards to wanting trips to Dubai and townships became safer places in every city govened by the ANC.

In less than ten years, I saw a total transformation, as the dignity of a people was restored. Poverty stricken people from slums like Orange Farm and Nyanga dreamt of getting into tertiary institutions and taking their families out of poverty, and they did.

Slowly, I saw a people who once had a very low self esteem and no hope, rise to become the most confident people in Africa. Today, black South Africans lead continental popular culture, having so much hope and confidence, they feel like they can conquer the world just like the Trevor Noahs and Black Coffees have dominated the global stage.

This is what the ANC has done for black people, and this has also benefitted colored and Indian South Africans too, despite all of ANC’s mistakes. Even more ironic, ANC has made whites richer than they ever were, in the last 28 years of independence. NASPERs and it’s offshoots are now bigger than $100 billion monsters, but many take these humongous achievements for granted and that is a travesty.

If you doubt what I’m saying, go to the Western Cape now, today, and see the low self esteem and hopelessness in the black communities there. There, young genuses who invent solutions to purify dirty water, end up jumping out of their varsity dorm windows to their deaths, and soon after, their ideas are expropriated and commercialized by DA, public-private partners.

Murders are at their highest in this DA province, and since they began to govern Nelson Mandela Bay, it now has the highest murder rate per capita in South Africa. It’s a pattern and a clear cause and effect: where whites govern blacks or control resources, black people starve and die, and I can’t understand why it takes me to remind my fellow South Africans of this reality.

By voting for the DA and ActionSA, taking away ANC’s majority, black South Africans will be simply resuscitating #DemocraticApartheid that we see in Western Cape, the United States, Australia, Palastine, Canada, Brazil and other white occupied territories.

With this will follow the black hopelessness, lawlessness and low self esteem that we see in the Western Cape where lawyers and magistrates are shot in broad daylight by mafias.

One thing I can promise black South Africans is, the day they usher in Democratic Apartheid, they will descend into an abyss of misery and suffering like they have never witnessed before.

Imagine, if whites are excluding blacks from the economy now, while the ANC is still in charge, with the white mafia pushing a black government to make arbitrary arrests of high ranking black politicians that they hate and the compromised Roman Dutch courts make apartheid like rulings. What will happen when they now regain political control of the police, intelligence, judiciary, prisons, the army and their private security militia are now free to terrorize blacks?

Look at the arrogance whites have developed ever since Ramaphosa took over. They have grown bold enough to even approach courts to scrap BEE, yet they still control over 85% of the economy and they have not paid a cent of reparations.

They treat black South Africans like inconvenient, overfed pets, instead of people they owe restitution for the crimes they visited upon them for them as whites, to live the life of privilege and plenty that they got through the exploitation of blacks in what the world called a crime against humanity.

If black South Africans make the electoral mistake of ushering in apartheid under democracy, they will lose EVERYTHING, as whites begin to retrench them, replacing them with machines, while denying black businesses contracts, using the courts to rubber stamp injustice, to weaken black capacity to participate in politics or resist white oppression.

Remember, in what was called the Discovery Law, white forefathers took a covenant to take black lands and to enslave them into perpetuity. That covenant was never cancelled, so giving whites power is simply allowing them to fulfill their oath to their gods.

And once we get to that point, black South Africans will never know freedom again, because unlike apartheid the crime, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE BLACKS from Democratic Apartheid (apartheid under democracy) as then it will be legitimate. And if the west were willing to assist the apartheid government when it was a crime against humanity, what will they do now to protect legitimate apartheid?

You have been warned…..
