Freedom Fighters Betrayed By Own Liberation Movements!!!
(In this article, Simphiwe Sesanti, former reporter of the Eastern Province Herald, shows how the ANC, AZAPO, and the PAC, have neglected their own members languishing in jail. These assertions are based on the interviews he had with the MK, AZANLA and APLA cadres in question, held at St Albans Prison, and their family members.)
The liberation struggle in South Africa, and its aftermath, reminds one to two books read sometime ago, one entitled MY SON, MY SON, O ABSOLOM, MY SON whose author I cannot remember and THE HARVEST OF THORNS by the Zimbabwean writer, Shimmer Chinodya. In the first book, one Irish character, observed that his compatriots were united against the British because of their hatred for the latter, not because of love for one another. It sounded as if it was a black South African observing this country's case. One's experiences, both inside the country and exile, have taught one these painful realities. One's constant visits to St Albans Prison, in Port Elizabeth, where one met Apla, Azanla and Mk cadres, left this impression, that for these cadres, serving long terms for fighting against apartheid, the result has been, as Chinodya puts it, "A harvest of thorns".
Let us start with Phila Dolo, 28, the Apla cadre, whose name recently made headlines after owning up for the Eikenhof shootings in which a white woman and two children were killed. Phila has stated that he would reveal no more until five conditions are met, these being:(1) the release of all political prisoners, including three ANC Youth League members, Siphiwe Bholo, Boy Ndweni and Sipho Gavin who were "falsely arrested and convicted for something they did not do", (2) that FW de Klerk testify for the Northcrest massacre in which a PAC members' children were killed, (3) that the TRC gives its definition of truth, (4) that TRC judges be investigated "for their racial bias", and (5) that he fir | Nikki Brighton “This was the best Woman’s Day ever” commented Antonia Mkhabela as she connected to the Earth hiking barefoot in the mountains. “It was a very special time which I have never thought I will ever have. I understand that Mother Earth has so much to give to me. The responsibility I have is to look after her.” Also without her boots on, Penz Malinga agreed “A real privilege to be in the Wilderness today.” The hike was part of a three day Wilderness Awareness Weekend at Cobham Nature Reserve organised by the Southern Berg Honorary Officers and Wilderness Action Group (WAG), to provide attendees with a practical understanding and appreciation of Wilderness – philosophy, ethics, the history, value, context and importance of wilderness, and the principles of wilderness management. Six environmental enthusiasts from Mpophomeni were invited to attend. A seminar on the concept of Wilderness was held on the first day, beginning with an introduction to why the Maloti Drakensberg Park so very special. The unique geomorphology, incredible biodiversity, outstanding cultural heritage, birthplace of rivers and immense natural beauty has led to the region achieving World Heritage Site status. There are many zones in the park, not all of them Wilderness. Pristine Wilderness is defined as untouched by modern man, where humans are only visitors – areas with an intrinsic wild appearance and character. The seven principles of Leave No Trace were explained with everyone agreeing to abide by them. Meeting the legendary Bill Bainbridge was a highlight for many, Penz asked for his autograph. We learned that the Wilderness cause can be argued around four distinct themes: Orlando Pirates are reportedly lining up a swap deal involving SuperSport United goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and Brighton Mhlongo. Williams is known to be a long-term target for the Buccaneers, who are expected to make a move for the shot-stopper during the upcoming Transfer Window. The Citizen source in the Pirates camp has since disclosed that Mhlongo is likely to be part of a swap deal that will see him join SuperSport, while Williams moves to Bucs. “I believe the negotiations are at an advanced stage right now," the source said. "The technical team wants to fix their goalkeeping department and Williams has been identified as a perfect signing," the source added. "He (Mhlongo) already knows about the situation, but the news has not sat well with him," the source concluded. Mhlongo, who made 14 league appearances during the 2016/17 PSL season, has fallen down the pecking order at Pirates. Jackson Mabokgwane and Siyabonga Mpontshane are the two goalkeepers who have been preferred by Bucs coach Kjell Jonevret in recent times. South Africa coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba has announced a squad of 25 players to face Burkina Faso in a 2018 World Cup qualifier on 8 Ocotber. The announcement seems to end recent speculation about his future as Bafana Bafana coach. Mashaba had come under pressure after South Africa's failure to reach the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals. After the qualifier in Ouagadougou the squad will return home to play Ghana in a friendly in Durban three days later. The coach has made several changes to the squad that drew 1-1 with Mauritania in their final Nations Cup qualifier in September and then beat Egypt 1-0 in the annual Nelson Mandela Challenge match. Erick Mathoho returns after he missed the two matches as he recovered from an injury he picked up at the Rio Olympics. Also making his comeback is fellow defender Rivaldo Coetzee, who withdrew from the matches due to illness. Mashaba says a positive start is crucial in the opening match. "Anything other than a win in Burkina Faso will have us playing catch up and it is never an easy task for any country," said Mashaba told the South Africa Football Association's website. "We must also ensure that we win our home games as anything less will not be enough to get us to Russia. We know we are carrying the hopes of the entire nation as we embark on these qualifiers, which go hand in hand with pressure, but then again it is part of the territory. "But we are feeling very positive about the mission ahead. We have tweaked the team a bit to give it some freshness and we are confident we will do well." Senegal and Cape Verde are the other two teams in Group D of World Cup qualifying with only the group winners advancing to Russia.
