Secret Affairs and alleged Illegitimate Children of Nelson Mandela

When reading stuff about Nelson Mandela I keep in the back of my mind his views as expressed in: How to Be a Good Communist, by Nelson Mandela (PDF) and authoritarian communism's number one priority: maximum secrecy (How to Master Secret Work, by ANC & SACP (PDF)).

Authoritarian communists practice secrecy, to hide their true agenda's and motives, corruption and illegal acts, and mostly their violence, so as to put forth a fake untrue image of themselves and their organisation, as 'democratic'.

Democratic communists (i.e. they only accept people who want to join their commune, after having been fully-informed, not lied to behind secrets and fake agenda's. You join voluntary and you can leave anytime.) include John Maher, the founder of Delancy Street Foundation; whose work and practice is totally different than that of the ANC.

Mahatma Gandhi's struggle also favoured transparency and honesty, to keep his movement accountable.

Nelson Mandela was also the founder of Umkomthe We Sizwe, whose military intelligence (security department) was Umbokodo.

This is a poem that former ANC member, Sam Mngqibisa wrote about his education as an Imbokodo officer, as quoted in Women in the ANC and SWAPO: Sexual Abuse of Young Women in the ANC Camps, by Olefile Samuel Mngqibisa (Elty Mhlekazi) (PDF).

The picture speaks volumes. At the centre of a group of 10 people stands Nelson Mandela and beside him his partner and later wife, Graça Machel. On Mandela's other flank is a short man dressed in a military-style jacket with his hand held out as though he, and not the great South African leader, was hosting the gathering.

He is Charles Taylor, and the photograph was taken a month after he was elected president of Liberia. Now Taylor is in prison at The Hague, the first African president to face trial for war crimes.

Nigerian agrees with DNA pioneer's theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners

One of the world's most eminent scientists was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night after he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that "equal powers of reason" were shared across racial groups was a delusion.

James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America's leading scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in London.

The 79-year-old geneticist reopened the explosive debate about race and science in a newspaper interview in which he said Western policies towards African countries were wrongly based on an assumption that black people were as clever as their white counterparts when "testing" suggested the contrary.

Agri-SA withdraws from Gov. Populist Resolutions

Farmers in clash with government

From Rhodesia's Kings Feast Breadbasket... to Zimbabwe's Bitter Harvest Basketcase

Farmers are heading for a showdown with the government following heated arguments at a weekend summit on farm labour in Somerset West.

Agri-SA, a national body representing commercial farmers, quit a two-day government summit on farm workers at the weekend in protest against a list of "radical" resolutions which they termed as a "kick in the teeth" to the farming industry.

The adopted resolutions included a moratorium on farm evictions, provision of basic services, compliance with basic conditions of employment, a minimum wage and regulation of labour brokers. Agri-SA's participation is crucial to implementation of the declaration.

But Agri-SA dropped a bombshell when they stormed out the summit, calling the declaration a set of "pre-determined radical political views".

Things were going well on Friday when Agri-SA president Jan Moller, President Jacob Zuma, Cosatu secretary-general Zwelinzima Vavi and Premier Helen Zille all told about 1 100 summit delegates about the need to improve conditions on farms.

During their testimonies, three workers spoke of their terrible working conditions, abuse at the hands of their employers and years of work without benefits.

But on Saturday, as the programme director read out the resolutions from the commissions, Moller took to the podium and announced Agri-SA's withdrawal from proceedings.

"We cannot support the resolutions. It ignores the good relations between employers and employees. We've decided as Agri-SA that we will participate in other initiatives between ourselves and relative departments as well as government, but we've decided to terminate our (summit) participation with immediate effect," said Moller, who later called the declaration "populist".

He was loudly jeered and booed from the floor.

African Union Loves Bashir and Denialism; Hates ICC, Responsibility & Accountability

Is the International Criminal Court unfair to Africa?

African countries often complain about getting a bad press. They say there’s much more to the continent than war and poverty and starvation. Then there’s the huge coverage given to the International Criminal Court and the fact that all four cases the body is now considering come from Africa.

But what’s strange about the complaints is that the world’s poorest continent is the most heavily represented in the ICC, with 30 member countries. In the March 2009 elections for ICC judges, 12 out of the 19 candidates were Africans nominated by African governments. And Fatou Bensouda, the court’s Deputy Prosecutor, is from Gambia.

Of the four files before the court, the cases on Democractic Republic of Congo, Uganda and the Central African Republic were referred to the court by those very governments. The controversial fourth case, the indictment of Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for war crimes, was put before the court by the United Nations Security Council.

The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for the leader of the huge oil-exporting country to face charges of war crimes during almost six years of fighting in Sudan’s violent Darfur region — but he has refused to deal with the court.

It was that case, heavily opposed on the continent, that brought the 30 African ICC members together in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa for an unprecedented meeting last week after calls from some countries that the Africans should withdraw en masse.
