What is The Value of Black Life?

Vuyisile Mshudulu Culture 2020-04-22 03:00:00

In my experience as a Black person the right to life and dignity are the same rights that have been violated consistently through systemic violence and associated material conditions this system creates. The conditions under which most Black people live in are not just inhumane, but pose a direct threat to their right to life.

Asinamali: COVID-19, Food Justice and the Informal Economy

Khwezi Mabasa Culture 2020-04-21 02:25:00

Perfect Hlongwane Culture 2020-04-20 04:00:00

The real reasons, as everyone in that house knew, were that my uncle was a gangster and a known tsotsi, with many enemies, and she couldn’t or wouldn’t trust him to bring me back in one piece.

As we commemorate AZANLA Day, we take this opportunity to remind all cadres to never see the access to this extremely limited welfare as the end of the liberation struggle. We should hasten to develop our own projects to entrench our self-reliance and safeguard our political independence.

Black Middle Class Indifference to Covid-19

Veli Mbele Culture 2020-04-14 08:00:00

Just as in the case of the Marikana Uprising, one of the things that the outbreak of the Corona Virus has laid bare is the nauseating detachment, ignorance, cowardice and downright cruelty of Black people (like me), who are strangely classified as middle class. Something that some euphemistically describe as 'Black privilege'.

As the soldiers were making their way out of our home, Gogo noticed that one of the soldier's hand was bleeding. He had hurt himself while they were breaking my uncle's door. The wound was severe and he was bleeding profusely.
