Let’s listen to Mama Sisulu, the voice of sanity in the democratic movement
LINDIWE SISULU. Currently the most sane voice in the democratic movement. Let’s agree.
The latest squabbles in the democratic movement are contrasted by her more than graceful essence.
She is the daughter of that humble humility icon Walter Sisulu of the Rivonia trial, the humble husband of the late Albertina Sisulu.
The progressive movement needs to sigh a huge sigh of relief seeing the majestic presence of this woman.
Let’s face it, Jacob Zuma has not really been a charming complement to the more-than-a-century existence of the Movement.
We need an eye and a voice that can make us forget his blundering performance in the rather charming history of the MDM history in the South African nation.
We all know that Lindiwe Sisulu is the voice that can return us to the sanity of a discourse that we really need. She is a true progressive thinker in the history of the democratic movement. She is not only a thinker who can recite coldly the “dynamisms” of the democratic movement.
She also has a tender passion that this nation has a need for. We need her tenderness in our fulfilment of the many majestic dynamisms of Oliver Tambo or Luthuli.
The country needs to experience the majestic but tight essences carried in her charms.
There is a plea that we do not see this as merely an ANC thing to do. It is plea that the entire political voice of this majestic nation carry those thoughts and considerations beyond the narrow confines of an African nation state in the 2000s.
My bet is that madam Lindiwe Sisulu has the charm that can release our nation from the embarrassing pains carried by the current experiences.
The most scary part for me is the concussion of the innocent rand. Can it recover in a lame administration? I do not think it can, outside the capable and charming hands possessed by the likes of Mama Sisulu.
Our progressive movements on the continent know this country is beyond the narrowness and the blindness boasted by the sexists of the continent and world. Sisulu is our way out of this embarrassing national reality. We must take it.
It is important that this country and nation learn how to release itself from the embarrassing moments carried by the 18th century. This is not something we can dodge. Our country needs to confront this as an embarrassing reality.
In the history of the ANC, it has never been led by a woman. That is not cool! The ANC knows it is far from showing our country the dynamism of a non-sexual society. It is an opportunity to demonstrate to the continent the progressive ethos in our hug.
Lindiwe Sisulu can help us as country to demonstrate that to the continent. The current president is not really assisting in this necessary task. Well, I do not think that polygamy is having a constructive or progressive conversation (with advance aspirations) on our humble society. I don’t like that aspect of our tender reality.
We need to educate ourselves on this discourse to get rid of it. We need to confront it in a way that indicates our complexity. Having deepened the conversation, we can get our people to understand the complexities of polygamy.
The depths of this country demand that we deepen this conversation with the charms and sensitivities of an advanced being. Lindiwe Sisulu can help us achieve that.
The issue here is not party political; no, it is more than that. It is rather the sensitivity of our country playing a significant role in human sociology.
It is also my wish that the progressive peoples of the world enter the conversation with a tender tongue that knows how to bend the toughest mind to welcome the beauties of non-sexism.
It is a wish that the majesties of the land teach us to hug thoughts on the future rather than constantly dance with the dark ways of our past. It is also a challenge to the progressive thinkers of this land that we embrace it with the sensitivities that say we do understand the narrow corners that we must dance to achieve the great moments that absolve us of the pains that the many peoples provide us with.
In my mind is a huge if not deep thought Mama Sisulu is capable of that. It is also a mind that tends to say that democratic elections must be regarded as moments when we deepen our thinkings on the many nefarious feelings that we have.
It is also just a wonderful thought that we are graced in this land by the deep and charming presence of human beings like Lindiwe Sisulu.
They help us decorate the majestic delight of life.
Well, I think so.
The country needs to experience the majestic but tight essences carried in her charms
