You know, when Africans listen to Tupac, Eminem & see Dennis Rodman... they think that these people are beyond any social restrictions. Singing "F*** the police" or about raping animals & getting tattoos & piercings all over your body is certain to get you arrested or an exorcism in most parts of Africa. But it happens that to impressionable, young people on the African continent - the concept of unchecked freedom resonates with them. There are countless musicians in Africa who emulate this American-centric style of "doing as you please" & giving the illusion of having a lot of money. This concept of freedom, however, did not not spring out of a vacuum in America. It has it's roots in Europe. Now, there was a time when America's father (Europe) did not have concepts of individual liberties & ideas of the people or nation being a force. So when people like the (original) Illuminati & Napoleon spread such enlightenment ideas, the monarc...

South Africa is mainly three types of voters : • Those who want major reforms & decolonization. About 60% of the population. These guys want nuclear, they want South Africa to win & win now. They believe South Africa is invincible & the best on the continent. The want land reform & majority (i. e. black) rule. Proud Marxists. • Those who want to keep the status quo. About 35% of the population. These are suburban blacks, Indians & wealthier whites. • Those who believe South Africa should adopt more Western ideals. About 20 to 25% of the population. Poorer whites, black millionaires, most coloureds & a section of blacks who believe in Westernizing South Africa. The educated, older upper-class of the black population is at times like this. Fringe tribal nationalists/black conservatives are a maximum 5% of the total SA population. Far right whites are no more than 2% of the population but are often the loudest when expressing discontentment. The...
You know, since 2017, I've been exposed to quiet a few independence movements... but southern KZN Independence makes the least sense. Apparently, two kings have proposed this; the Hlubi king (King Langalibalele Mthimkhulu III) & Nhlangwane king (King Melizwe Dlamini). Both kings sought to claim the territory between Thukela River in KwaZulu-Natal & Umzimvubu River in the Eastern Cape. This is the same territory that the Voortrekkers asked from King Dingane & known as the southern most extent of the Zulu Empire since 1828. Their theory goes; Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi falsely suggested the name KwaZulu-Natal for the province as, they claim, the entire region was not ruled by the Zulu king. They say all this while speaking Zulu & being blood relatives of the Zulu Royal Family. The Nhlangwini king claimed the region should be named Natal while the Hlubi king claims the region should be called Embo (after the ancient culture that existed before Nguni & Zulu ru...
Africa once existed without election processes, this was during the time of monarchies. Instead of electing a head of state, there was a royal family which would rule the land. Now, I can understand how being ruled by a king today can sound strange to some but it has it's benefits & disadvantages as does democracy. People who dislike democracy are often accused of being against majority interests i. e. dictators. Yes, you can claim " The majority is stupid. " But under democracy, uncorrupted democracy , the majority gets the leaders they deserve & democracy can coexist with monarchy as with many lands worldwide. The king can select his prime minister & ministers, the people can elect their parliamentary representatives. If you get rid of democracy, people will still need to have their voices heard somehow & the diversity of ways people choose to express themselves without elections can be chaotic. You would rather meet with the people & their represe...
In the wake of movements such as Cape Independence & other Afrikaner nationalist movements seeking self-determination within South Africa, what (black) people fail to see is that South Africa was never united to begin with & as the poem below states "kinship cannot be forced." When Apartheid was said to have ended, nobody questioned who made South Africa, why & how indigenous people came to be in South Africa. Now, we find ourselves in a land that is almost fighting against us as indigenous people & that has a very uncertain foundation. AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW 1. The land was bare, it was the wilderness 2. We tamed, ploughed & removed some illness 3. In separate lands, a language each 4. But today, this they no longer teach 5. Before a single foreign ship came 6. We could beasts & fire tame 7. Now, with new devices we seek to return our lands 8. In a modern world, we've embraced new innovations in the same lands 9...
I still think the single-language ethnostate is the most ideal form of country but there are various factors that contribute to a nation being less successful. In Africa; Burundi, Rwanda, Morocco, Lesotho, Eswatini, Botswana & maybe Egypt can be considered "nation states", but are not as wildly wealthy nor have as high a HDI as Greece or Spain, for example. So what is the problem? It's just my theory but I think here, we have a cultural problem where in some lands untrustworthy leaders, external destabilising or geography have played a big role in keeping a nation state underdeveloped. This is not only prevalent in Africa's nation-states but in countries around the Caucasus & eastern Europe where the culture sometimes revolves around corruption & being downtrodden. Sometimes a nation has been oppressed & it's people depressed so long that the people do not see their country being any better because they believe "This is just how we are."...
Which countries use Lex Talionis? (from A. I.) : Lex Talionis, also known as the "Law of Retaliation" or "Eye for an Eye" principle, is a ancient concept where punishment is proportional to the offense. While it's not a widely practiced legal principle in modern times, some countries have incorporated elements of Lex Talionis into their laws or cultural practices: Countries with elements of Lex Talionis 1. *Saudi Arabia*: Islamic law (Sharia) is practiced, which includes elements of Lex Talionis, such as retaliatory punishment for crimes like murder or mutilation. 2. *Iran*: Similar to Saudi Arabia, Iran's legal system is based on Sharia law, which includes provisions for retaliatory punishment. 3. *Sudan*: Sharia law is also practiced in Sudan, with elements of Lex Talionis incorporated into the country's legal code. 4. *Yemen*: Yemen's legal system is based on Sharia law, which includes provisions for retaliatory punishment. 5. *Qatar*: While not ...
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....
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...
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...
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...
Few things disappoint me like the fact that so many African languages are not regulated or poorly regulated. In the most developed languages in the world e.g. Italian & English, there's a correct version of the language that is spoken in formal settings, legal structures & informative media which is taught at schools then there's the colloquial (or slang) version of the language spoken on street corners & in the general public. The correct language usually has an institution where linguists, professors of the language & people who have studied the language at depth regulate the language & usually print out a dictionary for the language every few years. Often, to keep the language pure, these learned individuals of the language make up new words for new innovations & technologies. This institution is known as the regulators of the national language. Many African languages are formalised but we haven't found words for new concepts like gymanstics ...
A nation often starts out as a family/group of families which expand across a land. They then either assimilate into larger groups or overpower smaller groups. Migrating clans that settle among this nation usually assimilate or usurp the ruling class of the people's lands they come to. Once groups of people become stabilised in a region their governance usually centralises & through intermarriage, a distinct phenotype of that nation develops. A culture, language & sometimes regional dialects form depending on how centralised or decentralized the culture of the people is. This has usually been the case throughout human history unless a form of separation is law. Then, because of forced separation, two or more clashing identities form & in time these identity groups form their own countries or one identity rises to power across the whole land & crushes the other groups. A people of the same land often become a unified nation, in time despite having ...
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...
In football we get teams now that use "systems". It's no longer a football team buying just the best players, they buy the best players for the system. I believe that this can work for top level governance structures in a land also. I myself prefer early 2000s free-flowing football that allowed more expression but I've seen how devastating well-implemented systems in football can be to my preferred (outdated) style of romantic football. So if you can't beat them, join them. A well-engineered system is often near unbeatable. People will be people & they will always be imperfect but you can create a system that can utilise the strengths & imperfections of a people to create a successful land. What am I talking about? The three examples below are systems that realise the imperfections of people & uses them to benefit a land. Compulsory military service: It is a given that people need certain skills in a land & enjoy doing certain things more. As mal...
Before you wonder why an undiverse person like myself is writing on the identity of such a diverse land, ask who would be qualified to write on such a topic? Everyone has their own biases & if anything, I write with some knowledge of history & little knowledge on genetics so who better? If we're going to go by genetics alone - there is no such thing as a South African. With genetics, you're either black (African), white (European), Indian or Asian. No inbetweens. Coloured or mixed-race people are just a mixture of two or more groups & not a distinct heritage on their own. My logic goes, you are your surname & more importantly you are your parents' child. Whatever your parents identify as is what you inherently are & quiet often this identity is unclear in the modern age of globalisation so your surname becomes ever more important. What of naturalisation? In the past, there were "rights-of-passage" to naturalisation. Mainly you would show that ...
