Racism in an immoral condition in the society we live in

Maudi Obed Maphutha — Sat, 01 May 2010 11:29:54 +0000

Given the sudden departure of the AWB leader – Mr. Eugene Terreblache, I am convinced that to some people it is a mission accomplished, particularly the majority of black people who still find it difficult to find closure with past wrongs. From a distance, as a black South African I am convinced that the murder, [...]

Black on Black Crimes Degrade Image Of SA Government

Surely by now, the majority of us know that we are in the early stage of the maturity of our democratic dispensation. Since its inception some 16 years ago, much has been happening in terms of the society’s participation in the economy, corporate environment and entrepreneurship. According to current statistics, unemployment continues to be a [...]

Freedom of speech and democracy does not exist in ANC

It is apparent that the legacy of the former President of the ANCYL, Mr. Peter Mokaba has risen from the dead amid the singing of his popularity stunt, “kill the boer, kill the farmer” song by the current President of the League, Juju. But for reasons that I believe this country, post the 1994 elections [...]

Iam a communist and i wish to die a communist

For known reasons, it was seen as forthcoming that certain leaders within the tripartite alliance were not merely elected to pursue the interest of either their followers, their parties nor the people affiliated with such political structures. I was very upset to read the newspaper headlines this past weekend (20 February 2010) to see how [...]

The Road Ahead is Uneven

Maudi Obed Maphutha — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:47:44 +0000

I must say that I am pleased with this year’s January 08th statement delivered by the President of the country in Kimberly over the past weekend. It appears ANC has set down, and analyzed some of the key areas that they needed to strengthen and re-realign with what society wants. The President mentioned some key [...]

An eye for an eye

Maudi Obed Maphutha — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:07:09 +0000

Ironically, the Young Communist League has made a call for the former President, Mr. Thabo Mbeki to be charged with genocide for his “acute diplomacy”, regarding that a syndrome does not cause a virus and vice versa. Given the situation at hand, I find this call very irresponsible. The reason I say this is because, [...]

Nationalization Of Mines Is An Unachieveble Mission

Maudi Obed Maphutha — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:51:29 +0000

Both the African National Congress Youth League and Young Communist League have recently called on the government to nationalize the mines in an attempt to stabilize the economy of this country. There were several stories that were run in the newspapers and on television about this issue, in which the two organizations were championing the [...]

Human Beings Have Never Been Animals

As the days go by, one wonders what is going to happen next in the shocking case of the Reitz four: the unforgivable events that happened at the University of Free State. The rector of that University came into the limelight saying, “I am going nowhere… the students will get a pardon… the internal charges [...]

Black People Are Too Lazy To Think

Maudi Obed Maphutha — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:04:52 +0000

In as much as we are 16 years into democratic emancipation, it is quite amazing to learn that in the society we live in, there is still people living under the dark shades of poverty, illiteracy and lack of information. The cause of this among the least, being probably the ignorance of people and any [...]

It Is About Time The African Union Rose To The Occasion

Maudi Obed Maphutha — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:55:24 +0000

In as far as the Zimbabwean crisis is concerned, it appears that regardless of the power sharing deal between their Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, and President, Robert Mugabe; the crisis is far from over. The African Union had delegated the former president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, to mediate the conflict in that country; however, [...]
