Human Rights Day blog.

As it is Human Rights Day, I see it fit that I write about something on the abuse of unsuspecting people that happens almost daily in my region of the world. Slavery may be gone, legally, worldwide but some social constructs allow a sort of slavery to still occur. This is the scourge of treating people as objects. I used to be one of these abused people who simply didn't know better, I was simply a tool doing other people's work for a reason I'm still not clear about.

Sociology analyses the human mind & many things about humans & the human mind are largely predictable, so I suppose someone knew how our minds work & got us to do their bidding for them.

The thing is, people with foresight can acquire the ability to direct our lives in a way that either makes our lives better or worse in the foreseeable future. Often adults direct children's lives in a way that develops them & less often try to make children's lives a misery for reasons only known to them. And the same concept happens with people who have more knowledge of certain circumstances & people who are oblivious to them in the situation of scammers & people who are scammed or simply in the case of people being used by people for a quick gain & then quickly disposed of as though plastic. I think it fails to register to some that people have their own minds, perceptios & lives to live. People are not tools to be used as though an axe, a sickle or a knife. We have failed to believe that we can live our lives without harming others. So I think the Human Right of free will should be given a greater role in our lives so that we are not tools used by evil forces, but free to follow the path chosen by our heart & God for our lives. Free will to fight & not have the right to our existence deligitimised. All have the right to choose how they live their lives within a certain legal or religious framework & other than that we have no right to prevent an individual from living in the jungle, sea or volcano within a legal & religious framework because private property rights exist. We have no right to control what other people do with their bodies within a legal & religious framework. This is what my concept of free will is all about. Happy Human Rights Day.

Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups.

List of Ngoni / Nguni nations : • Bhaca • Hlubi • Mpondo • Ndebele (northern Ndebele in Mthwakazi & southern Ndebele in Gauteng, South Africa) • Ngoni / Jere / Jele (mainly in Malawi, northern Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Zambia) • Nhlangwini    • Shangaan  • Swazi  • Tembu • Xhosa • Zizi • Zulu Altogether, twelve (12) "Nguni" groups are known to exist. From my knowledge in any case.  Bhaca, Hlubi, Nhlangwini, Swazi & Zizi are the Mbo Entity . The Mbo Entity often declassifies itself from the Nguni group. Nhlangwini & Swazi are under a Dlamini dynasty while the Hlubi & Zizi are also Dlamini tribes. Ngoni & Shangaan are of Ndwandwe origin (a tribe assimilated by the Zulu Empire). Bhaca, Hlubi, Ndebele, Nhlangwini, Shangaan, Zizi & some Mpondo are often classified as Zulu. While it's unknown whether Mpondo & Xhosa qualify as Nguni, they are often grouped as Nguni. Using family groups to classify :  • Mbo • Mpo...

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...
