(en) Southern Africa, Zabalaza News: OUR WAR CRY IS "WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH" - Bongani Maponyane (ZACF/ TAAC)
Date
Fri, 28 Jul 2017 22:05:52 +0300
Recent repression in South Africa, like the sentencing of four protestors from Boiketlong
township to 16 years in jail for alleged violence, shows what we face. The black working
class is victimised and unfairly charged. This is due to the fights and popular unrest in
township communities, against unfair, corrupt, maladministration and brutal living
conditions. We have less and we live under financial constraints. But once we take action
to the streets to fight the brunt of poverty, we face the guns and fists of police
brutality. And this where jail time comes in. ---- Rich men who have stolen billions and
exploited millions face no charges, despite media exposing their evils. But the freedom
fighters in the struggle get imposed penitentiary time.
We want to stop the corruption, stop the suffering, stop the injustice. The war cry, our
popular slogan, should be that we, the black working class, have had enough. The bedrock
of every liveable community rests on honour, good services and decent livelihoods. Our
brothers and sisters who take up this fight for justice should not be the ones punished
for these actions.
But we cannot rely on the politicans, no matter the party or the colour. We know that the
people we elect to serve our communities forget doing so, once they live cozily, sit in
the luxury seats. So down with this stomach politics!
The 1994 ANC-led regime said it will not do what the National Party did to the people. But
we experience the opposite today. The enemy we face has proven to include the ruling
party. Nelson Mandela said that if the ANC does to the people, what the NP did to the
people, then the people must fight back. So we must fight for justice, against what they
have since perpetrated against us.
It is only by building working class counterpower and ideological clarity, and never by
elections, that we can win our fight for freedom.
