Stolen Land – Swapo Buying it Back not Expropriating

HOW long shall the gravytrain-riding black governing elite mislead the black masses while we stand aside and look on.

As we are nearing the elections, catchwords such as “expropriate” and “expropriation” are fashionably but misleadingly bandied about by the compradorial Swapo ruling elite as it tries to ingratiate itself with and gravitate towards black voters. Those words are purposefully and strategically used by Theo Ben Gurirab et al because they have connotations of bravery defiance and radicalism.However, what is important for the black masses to understand is that the word ‘expropriate’ means to deprive someone of something that is their own.They violently stole it from the affected black people.The compradorial Swapo government is thus fooling and misleading the black masses when it says it is going to expropriate farms from whites.Reference to the compradorial nature of the SWAPO government is based on the fact that, when it comes to wealth accumulation in Namibia, the white supremacist Euro/US capitalist owners of multinational corporations and their honorary member, Japan, in cahoots with the local white minority and the nationalist self-enriching ruling elite NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD! While the black masses expect tenacious, fast-track and compensation-free land repossession from whites.The ever-capitulating (to whites) Swapo government has set aside N$ 1.3 billion with which to buy back black land from the descendants of white land thieves.That amount of money could be used to start other black social upliftment projects.Alas, the SWAPO government is now behaving like a tourist who is desperate to get his/her stolen expensive digital camera containing crucial films back and is now offering to buy it back from the one who stole it.In that way the tourist will not be expropriating the thief of the camera because it doesn’t belong to him (the thief) in the first place.The tourist will simply be buying it back.In the same way that SWAPO is buying back land from whites as opposed to expropriating it.Someone cannot expropriate something from someone to whom it does not belong.Malcolm X Matundu Mau Mau School of Thought Windhoek Note: Address supplied – Ed.Those words are purposefully and strategically used by Theo Ben Gurirab et al because they have connotations of bravery defiance and radicalism.However, what is important for the black masses to understand is that the word ‘expropriate’ means to deprive someone of something that is their own.They violently stole it from the affected black people.The compradorial Swapo government is thus fooling and misleading the black masses when it says it is going to expropriate farms from whites.Reference to the compradorial nature of the SWAPO government is based on the fact that, when it comes to wealth accumulation in Namibia, the white supremacist Euro/US capitalist owners of multinational corporations and their honorary member, Japan, in cahoots with the local white minority and the nationalist self-enriching ruling elite NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD!
