That might have to look like a strange question, but I could certainly put the question differently by asking: Is the Bantu indigenous to South Africa? For me, the African - the man, the ox, the flower - native to Africa and South Africa, hence my question.
In German, the largest Germanic language which related Afrikaans, the word "African" simply "African". So my question can also be read so: Is the Bantu an African? At first glance it looks like a strange question, or even radical, but last week I had the biography of Joe Slovo and Ruth First gerensenseer. They were two of the most radical political thinkers ever in South Africa lived. Therefore it is not surprising that the first First was the statement that "whites in South Africa's blacks stolen land" not.
When Ruth First the first time in the 1940s that statement, or rather theory, formulated, there were certainly many people who laughed at her. A man would be a Marxist lie could call. Today it is the sacred truth in the newspapers Media24/Naspers preach. On July 26 this year, an article from the pen of the British Marxist, Ruth Hall, in all Media24's newspapers Saturday editions appeared with spottendene, ironic title takes O farmers, Native Lands. It is a whole communist fabrication around land ownership and capital constructed, which means that everything we as Africans actually owned by blacks.
The problem is very few people raise any objection to all these radical theories that we Africans as aliens in our own country presents. The irony is that immigrants from Lithuania First and Slovo us strangers or foreigners in South Africa can be explained, of course, mounting up to heaven.
We live in a very radical era of revolution and "transformation". South Africa over the past twenty business daily kenya years more experience change as Western Europe over the past 200 years. In many European countries, the government to fall as the state's medical fund payments with a few percentage points changed, let alone the kind of revolution we have experienced. From here the revolution and accelerate our assets will increasingly by the state and the control groups - that other countries, communities and their security forces - confiscated.
Radical circumstances require radical thinking. The African shy in his instinctive caution and conservatism of radicalism away, but as Van Wyk Louw has somewhere explained, means "radical thinking" merely "to reach to the root of thinking". Those who, like in the good old days even Latin at school, will know that "radix" Latin "root" or "source" means. The huge change business daily kenya that we experience, forcing us all failed to do so.
Ruth First and other communist theorists all the
