Hon Chairperson, although South Africa is an African country geographically, economically and culturally it remains a European colonial outpost. Nothing highlights economic colonialism better than the ownership of the means of production, commencing with the land question.
Currently, Azania is not owned by Azanians. It is owned by the descendants of Maria and Jan van Riebeeck and the 1820 British settlers, together with global forces. The descendants of Doman, Adam Kok, Moshoeshoe, Shaka, Makhado, Hintsa, Ngungunyana, Khama and Sekhukhune own nothing or very little in the land of their forebears.
Africa Day should be an occasion to remind ourselves that the riches of Mother Africa are not controlled by Africans. This must be corrected. Malibuye izwe lethu! [Our land must be returned to us.]
Culturally, we want to make Africa a little Europe. The shameful public insult of Msholozi is not just an attack on the Presidency, it is greater than that. It is an assault of humanity and African personality. It has all the trademarks of white supremacy, now mutating into liberalism. Thank you. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
