RE: Kwatuism


1) The ethnostate or, at least, a single-language state: The Kwatuist believes a land that is not unified by, at least, language cannot move forward. A single-ethnicity & single-language state is ideally Kwatuan because it's how Kwatu (Africa) was originally. No persecution of minorities just cultural & language unity through the education system.


2) Established/ancient customs prioritised: Cultural practices are prioritised by the Kwatuist state & often made public holidays such as indigenous festivals & ancient practices as well as traditional leaders being part of the land's governance this means chiefs having a place in the land's parliament & government.


3) The physical, mental & emotional health of citizens: This is done through established sports programmes, mental exercises & games being encouraged in media & society in general. Emotional wellbeing of being in a land that works towards the benefit of itself & it's citizens.


4) Prioritising essentials for human survival: Food, water & shelter are essential for all. A kwatuist state incentivises agriculture & has a state-owned construction enterprise to build affordable, compact flats for residence & infrastructure required by the state.


5) Free market: A kwatuist state is a free market, free trade happens, business licenses are easily obtained but local businesses are prioritised & incentivised to succeed rather than international businesses.


6) Self-sufficiency: A kwatuist state strives to be self-sufficient & less dependent on external sources to avoid collapse from forces outside the government's control.


7) A single state-owned bank that governs all the finances of the land: This also helps in self-sufficiency & ensures that foreign banks don't come into the land & gain control of a land's economy.

KWATUISM IN DETAIL.

The problem with a single African currency.

Preword: It's funny because one of the main reasons I found the courage to blog on African matters was due to a West African(?) gentleman who proposed the concept of a said "swal" & "zul" as a continental African currency in a blog. His boldness & conviction in his idea just captivated me & today I have to debunk this idea of his. But, hopefully, Africa sees why. African technologies & financial solutions Oh, Africa. We are so romantic; "United States of Africa", "Single African currency", "African unity", "Ubuntu"... all these fluffy, lovey-dovey concepts that will be ripped to shreds in the globalised world.  I debunked why a United States of Africa would likely collapse as soon as it sees the light of day. Today, I will debunk the concept of a "Single African currency" & explain why it would leave our enemies salivating.  I can't blame people who like stuff like United States of Africa...

A viable single African currency concept.

The original reason why I believe a single African currency would not work. Below is how we could attempt to make it work.  The many currencies of Africa. To prevent destabilization of the continent's economy, there could be two currencies: The Lami  for countries lying mostly north of the equator & the Ng'ombe  for countries mostly south of the equator. Both currencies would be independent with the Lami having it's bank & headquarters in Addis Ababa while the Ng'ombe could have it's bank & headquarters in Nairobi.  N.B.: Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, DRC & Kenya would use the Ng'ombe currency while Uganda & Somalia would use the Lami currency.  North of equator = Lami  South of equator = Ng'ombe   More stable countries with higher GDP per capita could be first to use the new currencies i.e. Seychelles, Mauritius, Gabon, Botswana, Libya, Equatorial Guinea, South Africa, Algeria, Na...

What did King Shaka look like?

I've heard some people quoting from King Shaka's praises claiming that he was "like the sun" therefore light-skinned. But I'd like to ask how comparisons with the sun equate with being light-skinned? If anything, if King Shaka was light-skinned, they'd compare him to something terrestrial like the colour of a cow hide, wood or other object because very few extraterrestrial objects have the colour of any human skin. Even white people are called "ondlebe zikhanya ilanga" ('those who have translucent ears") & not  "abakhanya okwelanga" ("those who shine like the sun"). King Shaka's mother was from Elangeni & there is the Langa clan in KZN, all of them are black with many being exceptionally dark-skinned so I don't think the comparisons comparing King Shaka with the sun have anything to do with his complexion. Even the whites who first saw him & drew him wrote that he was dark & fairly tall. I also don...
