South Africa's human trafficking problem.

In the news:

Forty-four young Ethiopian men were found locked inside a Sandton house - starving, cold & kept in darkness. Police believe they were trafficked & that their captors demanded up to R50 000 for each victim’s release. Ethiopian men believed to be in SA illegally were found locked in a Parkmore house. Trapped in two rooms, some needed medical help. The trafficker ran before security arrived.

I think there are more illegal immigrants in South Africa than officials would care to count. We've even heard of hoardes of illegal immigrants from Europe being hidden in the Western Cape & Cape Town. Ethiopians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis & Somalians are among the most trafficked people to South Africa & it's always just men. I have not seen a single Somalian, Ethiopian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi woman in South Africa but dozens of Somalian males. This is how forced ethnic dilution happens & how race replacement happens. The same ethnic dilution & race replacement that guaranteed the extinction of the Khoi & San is currently happening. Indigenous people of South Africa have reason to be alarmed & concerned but not xenophobic because someone is clearly bringing (& even forcing) these people to go to South Africa for a purpose only known to them. If you notice what kind of businesses these people open in South Africa, they are clearly brought into South Africa to replace a certain disenfranchised group.

South Africa may find it beneficial to employ extra restrictions on Ethiopian or Somalian migrants to South Africa because there may be a sinister force at work here.

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...
