Trickzta, you said

Remember Malema never made Marikana, Marikana made Malema. With the help of our New False Independence Rulers and their Capitalist Masters.

You surely realise that your assertion is hopelessly inaccurate? I think I know what you mean, but the latter sure as heck happened long after the former had made his political position clear. His involvement in that matter was unusually opportunistic.

The rest of what you have written is long on opinion and short on fact.

Let me state at the outset that I am not directly involved in the politics of the UK. It is none of my business (or Africa’s) to meddle in the manner the UK organises its elections.

I wish to add that the British and the West should extend the same courtesy to Africa, and let Africans decide their own future.

I am realistic enough to know that such courtesy will not be extended. So, in the end, we’ve to take our future in our own hands. (Cut and pasted section) PSsst the only cut and paste piece on this post.

Thanks for your input Andromeda. Positive critism is always welcome. The post in question does contain a lot of opinion and was posted as such.

Your reply falls into the same category as my post does. Long on opinion and short on facts.

What I meant about Malema (and you did get it right) was that his "come back" into mainstream politics from the "political wilderness" wouldn't have been anywhere near as meteoric as it was if the Marikana Massacre hadn't happened. This you acknowledge. I dare say that the #feesmustfall is in line with Malema's thinking. After all he knows what it's like to be a student. He has a degree or maybe two, it's not just his phone that's smart.

I have a lot more information about Malema and am interested to hear what you consider his political position to be

No thanks, we don't have time to read huge cut & paste

yep ....... no thanks

Ok guys I get it. Here's a piece that mentions Malema and a few of my views. I was replying to Andromeda and not addressing you two at all. But your constructive comments are always welcome.

There is a risk inherent in the use of violence as a deterrent, a risk that can—and often does—escalate a few isolated incidents into the realm of all-out war. The risk is this: if the resolve of the victims isn’t crushed, they may become more determined.

How can we improve our future if we don't understand our past?
