What @EFFSouthAfrica displayed was nothing less than overwhelming. For various reasons, I am personally tired of consistently non surviving black opposition. To @Julius_S_Malema @FloydShivambu the leadership and the fighters at large I say, you should be extremely proud. Politics

This is to confirm that it is indeed my voice you heard Beyoncé’s “Black Is King”. It’s out of a track I worked on with Grammy & Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson (Black Panther Score composer) used in an interlude on B’s Lion King: The Gift album. All thanks to my friend Trevor Noah

So this isn’t just about me but the kind of country we want to proudly call home. Our government has not efficiently nor intentionally dealt with the race issue. Therefore we cannot expect things to change with no concerted effort. For things to change, things MUST change kaloku.

The scuffle came to us sitting at Bertie's Moorings Restaurant which is owned by a friend to the racists. It is clear that this is the character of the establishment. We were a table of 8 & had paid our bill plus a generous tip as would be the expectation from any other race..

Why was religion used as the method to influence Afrikans. Why was it not another method eg. economics? That’s because we are not capitalist by nature. Religion was used because Afrikans are spiritual by nature. #NotJustSayin
