A MESSAGE TO MY FELLOW SOUTH AFRICANS AND PAN-AFRICANISTS. THE HATE GROUP, MARCH TO MARCH, IS AN EVIL THIRD FORCE THAT PEDDLES DIVISION AND AFROPHOBIA.
Fellow fighters, comrades and dear friends,
As I reflect on our hard-won democracy, the scars of the early 1990s remain vivid in my soul. As ANC national spokesperson accompanying President Nelson Mandela to the Boipatong massacre in June 1992, I witnessed the horror: bodies hacked to pieces, limbs severed, blood everywhere.
That carnage was no spontaneous “black-on-black” violence — it was the deliberate work of a third force, with operators like the notorious IFP warlord Themba Khoza fuelling ethnic division, gunrunning, and even threatening to kill me live on SABC shortly after Boipatong for exposing him.
Today, that same evil third force has resurfaced in the pathetic, Afrophobic March to March hate movement led by
#JacintaNgobeseZuma. She makes wild generalizations, talking as if all Nigerians are selling drugs and destroying our future, painting Somalians, Pakistanis, Ethiopians as thugs and spaza shop mafias, and calling fellow Africans “rats who breed uncontrollably.” This is the language of racism, and an agent provocateur and divider in the pockets of imperialists, peddling calculated provocations that incite Afrophobia, violence, and death. It is the modern incarnation and evil face of that same third force strategy.
The selective targeting of fellow Black Africans, while Europeans and other non-African foreigners are spared, exposes the imperialist and counter-revolutionary roots of this movement. It seeks to splinter us, revive bantustan mentalities, and derail Pan-African unity.
Our democracy is too precious to let this scourge succeed. We in the
@EFFSouthAfrica are on record to have consistently called on every true South African and Pan-Africanist to reject this Afrophobic hate with contempt and to fight March to March tooth and nail. African unity is our survival. As Africans, we are one!
A Luta Continua! We shall overcome all divisions, Afrophobia and Xenophobia.
