Beware of leaders with chicken wisdom

It is absolutely chicken wisdom for one to think that Africa would be a paradise if there were no white people. This is not a good time to be stupid. And it is not natural to trust a fool. One should be careful.

All over Africa and even beyond, there is a new bunch of confused clowns and lost lunatics calling themself intellectuals.

They see themselves as some Messiah for Africa. They pretend to understand every African problem and think they have solutions.

They are hungry for fame and power. And they are desperate to be recognised as great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and revolutionaries – of which they are none. Sometimes those clowns and lunatics simply act as attack dogs for someone.

In return, they get rewarded with a handful of bones.

Some are simply drunk on education, others see themselves as the Steve Biko, Thomas Sankara and the Frantz Fanon of our time. But they are nothing but the Idi Amin, Jonas Savimbi and the Eugene Terre’Blanche of our time.

A hungry lunatic is more dangerous than a mad dog. The danger with those clowns and lunatics is that they either mislead themselves or they mislead the ones around them.

And when one is misled, he/she can destroy the future.

One of the most foolish comments I ever heard is that there was no cancer in Africa before the arrival of a white man.

Apparently cancer came from the food that white people had introduced to Africa. It is a foolish lie.

Cancer has been in Africa for thousands of years. It is just that we didn’t understand it. We probably thought that cancer was witchcraft because anything Africans don’t understand, they call it witchcraft.

Another silly argument is that there were no street children in Africa. Yes, they were not there because there were no streets, no towns. It was also cheap to raise a child.

Our forefathers didn’t buy food or pay the bills. Street children didn’t come from Europe. They came from our families.

The future of Africa does not lie in black supremacy, neither in white supremacy. It lies in humanity or ubuntu.

In South Africa, there is a confused street clown called Andile Mngxitama, the leader of Black First Land First movement. He is a man with chicken wisdom, heart and brain.

Instead of telling the old man to go and dance for his cattle at Nkandla, it is people like Andile who encourage President Jacob Zuma to dance all the way to 2019 general elections.

Zuma is like a drunken butcher who claims to love animals.

I have read with utmost disgust as Mngxitama foolishly tried to defend Grace Mugabe against assault charges.

The young woman was just enjoying her life as her own sons were doing with stolen money. Like father/mother, like son.

No one should be above the law, even Jesus was not above the law. That is why he was crucified.

A monkey can’t laugh at the ugliness of another monkey.

But the monkeys must be laughing and the pigs and parrots must be shaking their heads whenever Mngxitama speaks.

Zuma has reduced the ANC to the African National Corruption yet it seems Mngxitama is ready to defend him. People don’t eat the ANC. People eat food.

Let us not allow those stupid intellectuals with chicken wisdom to take us backwards. What we need is human wisdom. I wonder if people like Mngxitama have any.

After all, it takes honest men to change the world.

Mngxitama and Zuma are none of those.
