Who are South Africa's parents?

South Africa's father is England & Netherlands, so essentially Germany. But biologically Sotho-Tswana & Nguni, so virtually Kongo. With minute Scandinavian & Asian mixes, that's Morocco. South Africa is essentially Mali, Mali or Mauritania. That's who we are.  All this time preaching about new mixed South African identity & it's already been done. SA is just waiting to be future Tuaregs or Hausa people.  SOUTH AFRICA IN THE FUTURE.  "Wassalamu aluikum brother El-Sipho Farouk bin-Dlamini. We hope the goats are producing enough milk for the desert heat. Inshallah." The future Tuaregs, South Africa.  The most common person in South Africa

Camera pixels.

Most of this blog is a copy & paste from A.I. output. I asked the questions in bold. How many camera megapixels would you need to zoom into a photo that can show a man on the moon?  To estimate the required camera resolution, we'll consider a few factors: 1. *Distance to the Moon*: The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers (238,900 miles). 2. *Desired image size*: Let's assume we want to capture an image of a person (about 1.7 meters or 5.6 feet tall) on the Moon's surface. 3. *Angular resolution*: We'll use the angular resolution of the human eye as a reference, which is around 200-250 pixels per degree. Using these factors, we can calculate the required camera resolution: Assuming a 35mm equivalent focal length, we can estimate the required resolution: - For a 1.7-meter (5.6-foot) tall person on the Moon, we'd need an angular resolution of around 0.0002 degrees (or 0.012 arcseconds). - Using the angular resolution of the human...

The reality of fame...

When something or someone gains fame or infamy, there comes a time where that something or someone wants to parody or reject it's fame & become a copy or a counter-personality of it's former self forgetting that the present is not the past. Essentially, becoming a fake or anti-personality of a former self. Your obsession in 2005 was not exactly the same thing in 2017 & it's not always because you grew to resent whatever you no longer like, you just grew out of it. That's the problem with fame, it sees an image of the past as the present & it forces people to be frauds.

Reviewing some older blogs...

Some of my blogs are so brilliant that I'm surprised when I come back to read them a few months or years later on how good they are, but some are just horrendously stupid & bad because of negative feelings or false inspiration from some idea.  Here are some of the better ones from the blog What's on Mthoko's Mind? :  • Fixing black societies    • Redefining television    • Nguni antiquity    • Top 9 most spoken indigenous African languages   • African automotive brands     • Analysis of homosexuality    • LED lights    • Phasing out fossil fuel engines    • Betrayal    • Why the USA is so good at basketball    • The modern Zulu language   My two older blogs besides P.O.T.M.F.M.  (Ponderings of the Man from Mpofana) & What's on Mthoko's Mind? are Imijulo Yesijuli  & the older  What's on Mthoko's Mind? .

Concept of a Ngoni Federation.

For all who might still be lost as to who is what, here is a Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups .  While a Nguni superstate might not work, a Nguni/Ngoni Federation might. This would involve doing some administration & building some currently non-existing boards & infrastructure. The plan being to build a functioning & successful ethno-federation under one motive to develop Nguni/Ngoni identity & livelihoods of citizens in Nguni/Ngoni territories. Bearing in mind that we do not all live in the same countries so the laws of the respective countries we live under would need to be obeyed.  The Plan :  • Schools that share a similar syllabus . These schools would have to teach their respective Nguni/Ngoni languages as a mandatory language. For schools in Ngoni territories who no longer speak a Nguni/Ngoni language, the Zulu language could be the default language. • Sports academies associated with the respective schools w...

My Athlete Network

The teams I would buy currently in January 2025 to start my own Red Bull-type athlete network .  Enyimba (Nigeria) US$ 100 000 Nkana FC (Zambia) Asante Kotoko (Ghana) € 2,05 m Hafia FC (Guinea) € 75 000  Barnsley € 2,09 m  FC Astana € 2,05 m  Águia de Marabá FC € 250 000  EC Cruzeiro € 100 000  BASKETBALL:   Caxias do Sul   Campo Mourão  AAB Joinville  I would change the Nkana FC logo to this upon purchase (incase of copyright issues with Manchester United). I would place three over 23-years-old, local players (on merit) in each team. Each team would have a similar system of play, coaching & lifestyle.  Other football teams I'd consider adding to the network depending on finances, profitability & access to better competitions. 

Modern monarchy.

To any monarchist reading this, I want to tell you that monarchy is not dead. Monarchy, I believe, is still the most natural & most tried & tested forms of governance.  Many people seem to think the concept of monarchy is just one man ordering everyone around, while that is the case, it is not the full picture. I believe that MONARCHY IS AN INSTITUTION . While the king can remove & replace anyone from their political positions, there are still norms in a land & depending on how advanced the written law of the land is; these norms are usually a collective, unwritten agreement with the national community or written down in legislature.  Now, before a king is born & even during when he is a prince - there are known laws in the land & depending on how useful they are to the greater public, the king can choose to alter, do away with or add new laws. Remember, the king governs a nation & his well-being depends how well-governed the land & nation are....

What South Africa's minorities fail to understand...

When I speak of South Africa's minorities - I do mean racial minorities such as coloureds, Indians & whites not  ethnic minorities such as the Phuti & Nama.  Now, these minorities are often angered by the state of disfunction in South Africa. I offer solace not contempt when I say MAJORITY RULES . Knowing the history of South Africa, their rage seems misplaced because they will always seem to be the foreign entity despite their best efforts at including themselves in majority matters. It is not the colour of their skin as much as their condescending mannerisms towards a previously oppressed indigenous people that earns them disapproval.  In any peaceful land, the majority needs to be satisfied with the state of the country. Minorities leading/controlling a country will always lead to turmoil & unrest. This is why Apartheid & African colonialism were doomed, because of minority rule. If Apartheid were applied where Boers were the majority (i. e. Holland),...

The disappointing African firearm manufacturing industry.

I've been searching for African manufactured firearms but have found very meek results. Kongo Kingdom & Benin were said to be able to manufacture guns but I guess it was in the age of gunpowder-loaded rifles & flintlocks. Today, the only Sub-Saharan African manufactured firearm I can find is the OBJ-006 which is an AK-47 replica from Nigeria. In South Africa, we have the Vektor series which was made by the Apartheid government (who called themselves Europeans until the 1990s) & some MILKOR guns, MILKOR is owned by a Polish-South African.  Nigeria's AK-47 replica, the OBJ006. I asked Llama 3.2 AI to come up with the following list:  Here's a list of some African-manufactured firearms: Rifles 1. *South Africa*: R4/R5/R6 assault rifles (manufactured by Denel Land Systems) 2. *Egypt*: AK-47/Egyptian-made Maadi MISR 7.62mm assault rifle 3. *South Africa*: CR-21 bullpup assault rifle (manufactured by Denel Land Systems) 4. *Nigeria*: OBJ-006 assault rifle ...

Laws to fix the land...

Not exactly the Law of Moses but may also work...  • All men do six month military service & all women do six month state farm service. Mentally & physically disabled are to do six month designated state service (e. g. street cleaning, park cleaning, beach cleaning or other labour required by state). • Illegal for individual to harm pregnant woman. Murder of pregnant woman treated as double murder & if child survives, murder treated as murder & attempted murder.  • Legal for elder family member to use physical punishment to discipline young family member.  • Abortion legal. Only consent of pregnant female required.  • All drugs legal for individuals over 21 years. Alcohol & tobacco legal at 18 years. Marijuana legal from 16 years.  • Only registered handguns allowed for general public (only written mental exam, non-violent criminal record & registration required for ownership). Special permit required for rifles, automatic guns & shot...

Kwatuism will not kill you.

The symbol of Kwatuism : A sorghum plant sheltered by two spears forming a triangular mount & facing in opposite vertical directions.  As a black man, I would love for Africans to fully develop & this does not necessarily mean skyscrapers & cutting-edge technology. Development to me means a land that is a fool-proof system where everyone knows what they should be doing at which time & why. This we can do by analysing the human life & what a nation needs. A nation in it's land needs protection from intruders, invaders & malicious foreigners as well as food security & it's citizens need shelter.  Let's note in point form:  • Border protection & therefore, airspace protection.  • Food security.  • Housing.  Any nation that does not prioritise the above will always have problems.  Now, in the modern world high-tech defence & telecommunications have become increasingly important with telecommunications merging...

Can our unreasonably leftist state see sense in some philosophical rightism?

I think for South Africa to improve, we need to start from scratch. Indigenous lands  returned ,  chiefs  back in  parliament  & restructure the  education system  in a way that makes hardened individuals who know that they're working towards something  greater  than themselves in the land they're in.  KWATUISM WILL NOT KILL YOU If you do not believe in a sense of nationhood & you live in a land of people unlike you, you're never going to give 100%, your best efforts will always seem rejected & the diverse land will always seem thankless. Now, we're made to believe that we as individuals are literally bigger than the country? Why & How? Shouldn't the NATION be BIGGER than any individual?? You cannot be a one-man-country. A nation is formed by a homogeneous ethnic group. This needs to be emphasized because leftism doesn't believe tribalism & discrimination based on appearance exists. Human nature encompasses being disd...
