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...

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...
