The book discusses an array of political issues in South Africa which are perceived by the author as highly alarming. It was as such a strategic consideration not to drop the individual names or that of organizations at will as it might open a floodgate of litigation but only to focus on political situations. The discussion starts predominantly with the apartheid days of a racist South Africa where black people were segregated. Dimitri Tsafendas killed Hendrik Verwoerd with the aim that his assassination would collapse apartheid and its racist policies. The plot seems to have been ultimately successful because in 1994, a new democratic dispensation was ultimately achieved in South Africa. The late Tsafendas however remains deliberately forgotten in South Africa's history as if he never existed in the political spectrum.
South Africa seems to have started on a very wrong footing by collapsing post 1994, the former black Teachers' colleges, Nursing Colleges and the Technical Training centres. They later merged universities thereby creating a monopoly of universities. The aim was seemingly to get black children into traditional universities. That kind of hopefulness has never materialized because of corruption and lack of government funding for study fees. Some few students lost their lives during a protest in a form of fees must fall. Black potential youngsters remain unemployed today and roaming the streets when easier and affordable opportunities were there to be exploited. The society must deal on a daily basis with cheap drug abuse at home, school and on the streets.
Political killings especially in Kwazulu Natal almost sank my heart to stoppage time at some point in time. Racism continues unabated in South Africa with disturbing incidences but Oranyiwa (as a disguised name) is set as an example which perpetuates racist stereotypes. Illegal immigration coupled with xenophobia keep piling up because of porous South African borders since the Commandos military unit was curtailed. Gender based violence remains a thorny issue because of lack of political will to educate youngsters about respect of the opposite gender. When all the native nations in the country have inaugurated kings, the Basotho people seem to be left out of kingship, yet Mantsopa, who was a Mosotho prophetess did a sterling job in her prophesies and history tells us that the Basotho nation always had a king.
The lowest political debacle was when a cabinet Minister spent millions of Rands in buying a South African flag when at the time of Covid19, artists were starving because there were no shows for them. Then another cabinet Health Minister resigned in the middle of a pandemic (Covid19) which took so many lives when the whole South African population had pinned their hopes of survival unto the Minister. In conclusion, South Africa is now a corruption infested country with endless Commissions of inquiry which leave the government purse bleeding. If corruption needed a home, South Africa will be homely and happy to give corruption a welcome stay.
