Activists decry talk of ‘third force’ at Marikana. On August 25, 2012. By Niren Tolsi,. The suggestion, presented with a sprinkling of muti, is that the 34 miners would not have been shot dead if some unseen hand had not been at work. The Marikana dust appeared to have just settled on the bodies of the 34 dead miners last week when the spin machines started whirring out the spectre of a “third force”, whispering of “agents provocateur” and “criminal elements” at work. According to grassroots activists th...

Liberation betrayed by bloodshed. On August 26, 2012. By Njabulu S. Ndebele,. The tragedy at Marikana reflects the loss of the vision of liberation and the onset of repression by default, argues Njabulo S Ndebele. On the evening of Thursday, August 16, in Johannesburg, I returned to my hotel for a well-deserved rest. I would turn on the TV, watch the news and then settle back to enjoy yet another episode of Isidingo. Police officers opened fire, and dust rose as people in the line of fire collapsed.

South Africa’s goldmines beset by simmering resentment. On October 1, 2012. Mokwane works at Blyvooruitzicht near Carletonville in western Gauteng (“place of gold” in Sesotho) province, a place where workers go underground every day fearing it could be their last; where they complain of low pay, bad food and overcrowded single sex hostels; where they say they are still treated like animals by their white bosses. Their simmering resentment could seemingly blow at any moment. Eighteen years after the end o...

Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Lira @ Lesotho Jazz (Sharp, Sharp). South African singer Lira is coming to Lesotho on the 26th just in time for my parents to check out. The fashionable singer exudes positive vibes so I'm really excited to see her live. In the meantime all I have is her video "Ixesha" (which has a fun click on the "x"). Lira's green dress in the video is also quite magical. Enjoy. Monday, December 20, 2010. Wordle is a fun and statistically sound way of gauging the content of this website&#...
