I am an Afrikan Son of the Azanian soil who is passionate about Afrika and its native people. I subscribe completely to the philosophy of pan-Afrikanism and the ideology of Socialism (NOT Marxism). Afrika is my beginning and it is my ending.I cannot imagine any place i would rather be,whether to study or to take permanent residence. I will work for NGOs that seek to transform the lives of Afrikans.My strength lies in activist writing,which i believe is a powerful tool of conscientisation (Marxists are living proof of that).I live and breath politics.Pan-Afrikanism flows in my blood and i’m sure that if you were to stab me,a fusion of the Afrikan gods’ blood would spill out.I have this strange belief that i’m related to Mbuya Nehanda,a Zimbabwean spiritual medium who led the first Chimurenga and perhaps,even Thomas Sankara,the former leader of Burkina Faso. I draw my inspiration from great Afrikan leaders and writers.I particularly admire the founder of the Pan Afrikanist Congress of Azania (PAC),Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe; former Angolan leader Augustinho Neto; former president of Mozambique and leader of FRELIMO,Samora Machel,of whom i’m named after; Black Panther activists Assata Shakur and Mutulu Shakur; former ANCYL president Anton Lembede; Former Prime Minister of Congo,Patrice Emery Lumumba; Azanian People’s Liberation Army (APLA) generals,Gen Romero Daniels and Gen Fihla to name but a few. The sculptures of Azanian-born Pitika Ntuli are my favourite works of expressionistic arts. When it comes to literature,Afrikan literature tops my list.Chimamanda Ngozi Ardichie,Ayi Kwei Ama,Tsitsi Dangarembga,Michael Ngila Muendane,Mariama Ba,Chinua Achebe,Lesego Rampolokeng,Ngugi wa Thiong'o,Thando Mgqolozana,Zakes Mda,Dambudzo Marechera,Sello K Duiker,Onkgopotse Tiro,Bessie Head and Thabo Lehlongwa are my crème-de-la-crème. I am a very understanding person who rarely takes umbrage to anything.However,i am extremely impatient and easily frustrated by ignorant people who undermine the importance of knowledge on Afrikan history,economics,arts and politics. Although i am often branded a “racist”,i am merely an honest and unapologetic pan-Afrikanist belonging to no political party or student formation.I believe that party politics are counter-revolutionary.I am an independent thinker who refuses to subscribe to popular view or conform to blind-loyalty that is nurtured by parties that adhere to IEC rules and laws.My views will never be sponsored and they are uncensored. I laugh a lot and don’t easily become hurt.I am a people’s person who strangely,loves her solitude.I don’t go to parties,clubs,weddings and all such occasions and i’m not fond of the outdoors.I prefer being in the confinements of my home,in my own room,reading or writing down my most intimate thoughts.I think better when i am on my own.In as much as i like people,the truth is,i work better on my own. I am generally a sweet person even if i must say so myself.I am very open too.I just hate ignorance and apathy,particularly in regards to the Black condition.
