Who is Setting South Africa on Fire ? | The White  Minority  is  Sponsoring Afrophobia-Xenophobia in
Who is Setting South Africa on Fire ? | The White Minority is Sponsoring Afrophobia-Xenophobia in Kwabena Ofori Osei 15 Views • 4 days ago

In this talk, Shahid Bolsen breaks down what is actually behind the manufactured anti-immigrant wave sweeping South Africa — who built it, how it works, and why it is happening right now in this specific moment in history.
He treats it as what it is: not a sociological phenomenon, but a forensic case. An arson. And he names the arsonists.
Starting with the basic fact that South Africa is the only country in the BRICS+ world where the colonial management class never actually left — they lost political power in 1994 but kept the land, the mines, the banks, the media, and the financial system — Shahid maps the full chain of actors producing the xenophobia campaign: from the Oppenheimer family's think tank and AfriForum's Washington lobbying operations, through the Democratic Alliance and the Patriotic Alliance inside the Government of National Unity, all the way down to Leon Schreiber's Home Affairs ministry deporting 51,000 Africans a year under a program literally called "Operation New Broom."
He places all of this within the global transition from unipolarity to multipolarity — arguing that the anational owners of global financialized capital are not trying to stop the transition. They accepted it. They are managing it. The question they are asking is whether they can arrive at the post-transition multipolar world still holding the keys to its most critical continent.
Africa is the last open contest. Every other major region has been claimed. And within Africa, three countries have the mass to anchor continental spheres of influence: Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa. Egypt is effectively untakeable. Nigeria is under coordinated pressure. South Africa is already under management — and the campaign to keep it that way is running at full speed.
The xenophobia campaign serves three simultaneous objectives: it redirects Black working-class anger away from the colonial structure that produced their poverty; it severs South Africa's solidarity relationships with the African countries it needs as partners in any genuinely independent future; and it justifies a state enforcement apparatus — in DA hands — that is doing the actual work of African removal on the ground.
And it is the same playbook being run in America. Keep the poor fighting the poor, while the people who own the structure watch from behind their walls.
This talk connects it all — the street marches, the parliamentary coalitions, the Trump executive order, the PEPFAR cuts, the ambassador expulsion, the continental power contest — into one coherent picture.

African Fashion: The Sophisticated Craftsmanship Behind West Central African Clothing
African Fashion: The Sophisticated Craftsmanship Behind West Central African Clothing Kwabena Ofori Osei 15 Views • 7 days ago

In the Early Modern Period (around 1500-1800), West Central Africa (modern day Angola, the Congos, and Gabon) was home to a variety of different types of cloth and clothing. In this video, we discuss some of the textiles, jewelry, and other adornment that people in this region wore to cover up or show off status, primarily focusing on the kingdoms of Kongo, Ndongo, and to a lesser extent Loango. Join us as we explore some Central African Fashion History! This video is part of Untold Black History III, a collaboration for Black History Month discussing interesting and positive Black history from around the world. No Generative AI was used in the creation of this video.

WSYP Interview: The Process Must Match the Promise: Reparative Citizenship in Ghana
WSYP Interview: The Process Must Match the Promise: Reparative Citizenship in Ghana Ọbádélé Kambon 24 Views • 9 days ago

Sign and share the petition:https://www.change.org/ghanacitizenshipƆbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon joins WSYP Sankɔfa Radio to discuss the urgent petition for fair, transparent, accessible, and affordable reparative citizenship for the Historic Diaspora in Ghana.In this wide-ranging interview, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon explains how the current citizenship petition grew out of years of organizing, beginning with the 2016 citizenship process that helped 34 Historic Diasporans receive Ghanaian citizenship under President John Dramani Mahama. He recounts how the original process emerged from meetings at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, and how there was no GHS 25,000 citizenship fee, no DNA requirement, and no sudden 48-hour compliance window at that time.The interview breaks down the major concerns raised in the petition, including:The prohibitive GHS 25,000 citizenship application feeThe need to permanently remove DNA as an exclusionary barrierUnclear and rushed application timelinesThe absence of constituency-mandated Historic Diaspora representationThe contradiction between calling the Historic Diaspora Ghana’s “17th Region” while treating reparative citizenship like ordinary immigrationThe need for Ghana to live up to its own Diaspora Engagement Policy and Pan-Afrikan commitmentsƆbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon also explains why this is not anti-Ghana. It is a call for Ghana to live up to the best of what it has already declared. The discussion emphasizes that a huge swath of petition signatories are Ghanaians born and raised in Ghana, showing that this is not a conflict between Ghanaians and the Historic Diaspora. It is Pan-Afrikan solidarity in practice.This conversation also connects the petition to the Decade of Our Repatriation, the Sankɔfa Journey, Abibitumi’s 20th anniversary, and the broader need to keep the door open for Black people seeking repair, repatriation, and restored relationship with Ghana and Abibiman.Sign and share the petition:https://www.change.org/ghanacitizenshipLearn more about Decade of Our Repatriation:https://decadeofourrepatriation.comJoin The Black Agenda GH on Black platforms, beyond the algorithm & blues:Abibitumi Public Group:https://www.abibitumi.com/grou....ps/the-black-agenda- The Black Agenda GH:https://youtube.com/@Blackagen....daghhttps://www.inst @blackagendaghRecorded and transcribed by Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon.The process must match the promise.#reparativecitizenship #ghanacitizenship #historicdiaspora #theblackagenda #decadeofourrepatriation #wsypsankofaradio #SankɔfaRadio #ghana #panafrikan #rightofreturn #abibifahodie #abibitumi
