    About this ebook

    Black Nation, Know Yourself is a letter of  interlocking spirited confessions and territorially stepping on young African toes. A visionary document sustained with heartfelt meditations and impatiently plastered to inflame the Black degenerate behaviour. Despite its harsh blind eye to literary rules in its formation, it severely plagues Black re-awakening as the author's passion about Black people is unconditional and unforgiving.

      Black Nation, Know Yourself - Dira Rufaro Polori

      BLACK NATION, KNOW YOURSELF

      Until the African Nation invest in books and knowledge than material goods like (Alcohol, Clothes, Jewelleries, Phones) we will go somewhere in the future.

      The only way to create a good history is to learn from our past and prepare for the future.

      This book is based on things that have and still pollute Africa.

      AKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      Iwould like to express my gratitude to the many people who saw me through this journey; to all of those who provided support, talked things over, read, wrote, offered comments, allowed me to quote their remarks and assisted in the editing, proof reading and design. Mostly I would like to thank my Facebook friends for being so debatable with my trend of thought, and to those who insulted my thinking, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t  have completed this project of mine

      Not forgetting Mr Boitumelo Seojane, Mr Lentswe Lentswe, Mr Mike Melato,Mr Voyu Macutwana, Mr Elliot Ntambo and Mr Richard Rivombo for believe in me and put some task on the table to complete this Book.It was a long and difficult journey to see this book so far,if it wasn’t for Mr Vukulu Sizwe Maphindani, this work was not going to be here, not forgetting teballo for making things possible for me to be interviewed at vaaltar fm.

      Last but not least: I beg for forgiveness of all those who have been with me over the course of the years and whose names I have failed to mention." Now I have brought this book into place for us, the African youth to empower ourselves. And to discontinue being consumers or the government’s dependants. We must stand up with our feet and begin to unite ourselves and fight against the sufferings of our people.

      My strength lies in writing activism, a powerful tool in consciousness. I also draw my inspiration from great African writers who consistently fight for our freedom with a pen and until all Africans can stand and speak as free beings, until that day, the African continent will never know no peace.

      We all have brains with the capacity to destroy any negative impact that comes our way, so let’s use this brain in a proper way and annihilate anything that sabotage us.

      Life is like a theatre, one mustn’t try to understand it all immediately. The back is bearing the load, so is your head to carry your load, arm to manifest the load, feet to take you where you are going and stomach to make you live Shirley genus.

      A LETTER TO AFRICA

      I WRITE THIS LETTER on behalf of Mother Nature (Africa) to my fellow countryman.

      We Africans, live in the time of horror and deeper we neglect our own land of origin, the land of our forefathers, the land of tranquillity and ’Ubuntu’. This word Ubuntu has a huge significance and importance to us.

      Africa is a continent where there’s a strong relationship between man and Mother Nature. What feed us is not brought by other means; but came directly from our mother nature. The land we live in takes care of us and we need to take care of it and its riches in return.

      We have lost our moral fibre, we seek ways that hide and bury us alive from white colonialists who invaded and destroyed our sense of belonging, our culture together with our provider, ‘mother nature’. We don’t realize that Africa is dying and we are nothing but an accomplice to its death; no one is killing her, but us, the indigenous culture that makes Africa vibrant and alive. We killed the meaning and purpose of Ubuntu, we have deviated from what was and still is important to us, the sense of belonging, where the phrase ‘umuntungumuntungabantu’ ’it takes a village to raise a child’ has lost its meaning.

      Generation after generation, this continent have produced good leaders, who have looked after this continent until the white man came from the sea and pulled our ways of thinking and caring for our people.

      Today’s leaders are feeding on the very same people they should be protecting only for salaries and they lead them astray, and still got the nerve to call them ’POOR’. How can we be poor when our continent possess wealth? These are the same people who sold our souls and land to white supremacists and law, from what? Only to feed their stomach. The same law that governs our land, resources, the way we think, yet today we call ourselves FREE, how can we be free when mother nature is still in the hands of these settlers.

      Our generation has lost its ways and they don’t have the material capacity to making things right through this white education, we can’t even define ourselves; whether we are African, coloured, Indian or Chinese. {Simply because our freedom is not African, the African man is robbed of his own land of belonging).

      We perceive ourselves through the Whiteman’s depictions, what he makes of us. We celebrate other cultures and neglect ours because it’s not cool and represents inferiority; we are ashamed of facing the truth, that we are robbed of what belongs to our forefathers. When are we going to open our eyes and see? The only way we will be African again is when we reconnect with ourselves to Mother Nature. The only way where an African will be African again, is when he leads his people without the written laws of post-modernist- Eurocentric thinking, when he is on his own personal account and make his own laws and also make his own decisions.

      Africa is one, and she’s for Africans. The ideology sense of Ubuntu is for African leaders to take care of their people and to feed their families. We have a legacy to fight for as the 21st century generation of Africans,we need to retain ’ibuyambho’ or Renaissance. We need to retain our self-respect from the universal community as a united Africa.

      What makes an African? It’s not the colour of one’s skin, but the way he represent his wisdom, culture, customs and origin.

      PREFACE

      IN THIS BOOK, THERE are territorial parts I plaster, regarding the potential effort that African nations must interrupt in order to gain our dignity back, territories which includes (African Education, Lifestyle in the African Community, African Leaders, Police Brutality, African Youth Brainwashing and the Working Class Generation). This is like a human psychological method that deals with things which bothers us from being one; the behaviour around unity is what we lack. A divided nation is a nation that won't be free from itself. And as we all know, when we are not free, that’s an opportunity for others to dictate our freedom. We should start by preparing our generation for the uplifting frame of mind that will unite us
