Dear Comrade Mdu: Firstly I thank you for raising such a thought provoking issue which is critical to all Pan Africanist. I also think it is rather harsh to say my thoughts exhibit the highest form of racial extremism but that is also your opinion. I will also consider your suggestion of revisiting the writings of Sobukwe and Peter Rabaroko however reality forces us to change how we see things currently. Firstly Pan Africanism is way to old to only mention tata Sobukwe and Rabaroko as the pioneers of it with all due respect. We have also pioneers like Padmore, Du Bois and Garvey to name the few. They all had different views but were on the same path.
We have found ourselves in the diaspora within Africa because of these races which are curremtly in Africa and are entrenching their values, cultures and religions to Africans. We must also understand that not only land which is wealth was stolen from us but our identity was stolen and destroyed too. You find our brothers in the North now are Muslims and Arabs because of the pressure from the Arabs who were the first to invade our Africa forcefully too and were disturbed by the whites who were dominant to them and they also brought their Christianity as well. Our identity is all but ashes as we speak because of these races. I repeat Pan Africanism is not determined by tata Sobukwe, Rabaroko, Padmore etal but it is every black wo/men in Africa finds themselves in the situation they are in because of all these alien races who invaded Africa. If we fail to see it that way then we will find ourselves falling on the same trap over and over again. Also Pan Africanism should not only focus on economics and politics only but also on values and cultures of Africa. What was undone that needs to be restored and not just land and wealth plus political power only but our being as well. Living as an Afrikcan and being religiously and culturally independant from thesse alien races in Africa. In the case of these alien races in Africa, I fail to understand how we can accomodate them in Africa knowing how they came to Africa and what pain they caused. Deaths of innocent Africans who tried to defend themselves from this evil attack. Those people are still wounded even though they are dead, Mama Afrika is crying for her children who were massacred without a reson. For us to be so forgiving and be willing to share Africa with them is a huge mistake which will haunt us for generations. Our generation is the last generation that can undo the mistakes that were done by our forefathers, as human beings they were not immune to mistakes. Disagreeing on certain issues shows that we are human beings and is good for diversity of ideas but to differ because we are trapped in the cage that our Pioneers created is my problem. Their ideas were not cut on stone. We should also chllenge them because if we are still trapped in their thinking then we are denying ourselves a room for growth politically. Times have changed and the reality forces us to revisit what they thought before and update their thoughts. Izwelethu!!!!!!!!
