We are psychologically oppressed by West

Our political parties pay no heed to what is happening to Africa, writes

from Kagiso.

Sam Ditshego

What are the major problems facing Africa? The problems that are exacerbated by colluding African leaders who are part of Africa’s ills created by Asians and Europeans.

When I read the newspapers or listen to the radio or watch television, I don’t see these problems being addressed.

Those who claim to address them skirt around them.

Yet the mainstream media boasts of informing and entertaining their audiences.

Informing? It is an exaggeration to claim that the mainstream media is informative.

Entertaining, perhaps. But at the expense of the burning issues that plague the African continent.

Why is the West so keen to control our resources? The West can achieve this only when we are psychologically oppressed.

Those African leaders who are psychologically liberated and resist the West’s rapacious ruling families and multinational corporations from pillaging the continent’s resources are assassinated.

All the political parties represented in the SA parliament except, perhaps, the PAC have never tried to address the West’s assault on Africa’s resources and her people. What they are good at is spending their parliamentary sessions talking baloney, mocking each other and making a lot of senseless noise.

At the end of the month, they all go laughing to the bank to cash their fat cheques.
