South Africa Latest News,South Africa Headlines

Once canonised and unassailable, the legacy of Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s most iconic political figure, is now tortured.

. FaceApp “revealed” that its version of an aged Mandela looked nothing like the man released to the world from Victor Verster Prison on 11 February, 1990.

it agrees with revolutionary theory that the world is structured by unequal power relations, and that the powerful act in their own interests and against the interests of the majority. It is a parody because of its simplification of complex phenomena to a straightforward act of will; no longer are state actors vulnerable, human and sometimes competent; rather they are super-competent.

What explains the ANC’s abrupt turn in the 1990s from these radical beginnings is a combination of both global macro-economic forces largely not within its control, and its structural inability to discern and manage what was within its control. Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union, capitalism emerged victorious as the basic economic structure of the world.

It is these explanations rooted in political economy that better explain the conditions which overdetermine the actions of individuals like Mandela. As , the decisions Mandela made had to do with “his calculations of what he considered to be politically feasible at the time.” It must not be forgotten that he wasn’t making these decisions alone, nor is it the case that he was as individually powerful as many people think.

The week before there was a story on JM. It stated that he was an Honest man and leads EFF like a great leader. And he is not a dictator and does not use Ice boy to get ice cubes for his JW Blue label. But it's a new week and no news so let's make it up.

Our “social media” is always ablaze wth one topic or the other, but that doesn’t mean (they) we know what we are opining about. Remember we have a big illiteracy rate. Thts Y the ruling party has gotten away wth so much 4 so long ..

I missed the social media blaze but it sounds legit? Ask Eekbal, he would then have been the fake Mandela’s personal doctor assisting him on his death bed. Or ask the PA lady.

Yes he was knocked out by Drago the big Russian Boxer in an exhibition match. But his friend Rocky got revenge in the end.......
