The tribalist, colonialist Act is a message to the landless: the ability to make important decisions rests solely with those in power, not you

It is very easy to forget about people if you believe that they cannot think. It becomes just as simple to violate their rights and deny their dignity. Just ask President Cyril Ramaphosa.

By forcing rural residents to be governed by hereditary leadership, it mirrors the actions of colonial and apartheid authorities, which imposed leadership that would tow the colonial line. Towing the colonial line meant managing the rural population, those dispossessed and forced into the Bantustans. Leaders, such as Langalibalele or Albert Luthuli, who refused to be co-opted, were deposed.

The Traditional Khoi-San Leadership Act will directly affect 18-million rural people. Their capacity for decision-making, for knowing what is best for their families and communities is sidelined in the name of tradition. In effect the Act equates African cultures as immutably authoritarian.

Either way, minorities are suffering and even the majority aren't living the dream either. Ask the corrupt politicians why it's like that.

Told you so. But ANC does not care about your rights in the constitution. In fact they want to make you a slave again.

The mission of the ANC is not to create another tribe in South Africa. It is the coloureds who are mutating back to claim their African origins after prolonged years of betraying their blackness in exchange for white man’s bread crumbs. Why don’t you create your own tribe?

Why are you throwing all the rubbish words to the ANC? It is the coloureds who are inventing KhoiSan ethnicity along the narrative of the white man. The government’s duty is to regulate the wannabe KhoiSan leaders and subject them to our constitutional rule. KhoiSan is tribalism

Disgusting ANC.

R49bn to rehabilitate 6 000 minesThe state is fixing mines deserted before a 2002 Act, but another law could force owners to pay up. The very same government knows who those owners are and if they are serious those owners should be arrested but because it's their cadres nothing will be done. Why should tax payers foot this bill? Granting a mining license should prescribe rehabilitation post operation otherwise criminal charges should be laid Project Africa continues. They came they took now we have deal with gaping scars they left.
