In the beginning of evolution, the cave man was a mere happy hunter without having to work for someone or plan for his future or any funeral plans.
What went wrong with the good old days?

Robert Sobukwe’s dream and vision far from being realised and accomplished
It is of critical importance for this piece to quote an African martyr, a Burkina Faso expresident and hero Thomas Sankara, he once echoed “while revolutionaries are killed, ideas will never die”. After passing away 37 years ago, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe affectionally known as “Prof” to his comrades, is refusing to leave the hearts, soul and brains of many people around the world.
University of South Africa deserves to be congratulated to have seen it befitting to honour “Prof” with The Degree of Doctors of Laws (Honoris Causa), this happened on the 20th October 2015. We appreciate this on behalf of the entire humanity.
Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe today is famous in the academic discourse than in the political circles. He is known to ordinary South Africans by being the “man of the people”, Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) understand him as a sacred leader who was sent by God to come and lead the people which he did very well, Steve Biko defined him simply as a political God because of the influenced entrenched by Prof to his political career.
Nelson Mandela passed away on the 5th December 2013 while Robert Sobukwe was born on the same date in the year of 1924 (today would have been 91 years). This day should be registered to be an important day in the history of South African politics where one remarkable icon passed away and intellectual Prof was born. The day is important to PAC because its founding president was born and keep on reminding us that we have not accomplish Sobukwe’s vision of this country including her mother, Africa. The day is the sad one to our rival because they lost their iconic leader.
To the PAC, it is not important on who sold-out the country, the blame-game is one which we cannot afford to dwell in. what we want to see is the prosperous country defined by first and foremost, a self-determinant South Africa and not the current one which consult from its masters. We want to see the country that decide in favour of the masses or workers and not in favour of London Mines Company. We want the country that is characterised by a true socialist-economic layout.
Other chauvinist and populist will use the names of Sobukwe, Biko, Tiro and many others to benefit their own bellies while disregarding the original principles and values set by this very
giants. They only print the T-shirts with images of these African martyrs to market their organisations however they reject to adopt to what these leaders stood for.
Robert Sobukwe would not be at peace to learn of the death of Mido Macia, Andries Tatane, 34 mineworkers, protesters at Relela, Mothutlong and many others who fell victim of this militant policing by our own government.
Robert Sobukwe would be sad to observe the education being sold and made a privilege to the children of the petite bourgeois and the compradors. Sobukwe’s vision was to have a University which was going to be a barometer of African intelligentsia.
Today we still have an Afrikaner-styled University (Stellenbosch) which only specialises on the traditions and values of this minority group, what we have done so far is to complain because our inferiority inform us to join the Afrikaner and be close to white-skinned person.
Why are we not styling and modelling our higher education and training institution African. Our education is not African at all spheres, it’s too Western hence it’s not even applicable to Africa problems because it was orchestrated specially for Europe and her allies.
Sobukwe is regarded by many as a prophet because everything he raised in the late 50s and early 60 seems to be true and unfolding. Sobukwe reminded us that education to an African child should be to service Africa, and that means the education should be able to combat crime, create jobs, maintain health security and ensure that the society we live under is good environment.
It is only reactionary who will point finger to the last generation, these people do not have anything to offer but always complain without producing an alternative.
It must be politicians who show and grow a sense of patriotism to fellow citizens, it can’t be correct that we go to imperialist to submit ourselves and speak ill about our country. As PAC, it matters less on who is in charge but because we love Azania and know that one day we are going to occupy it, why should we ruin it?
There are channels to deal with domestic affairs, we have the legislature which have been turned to Trevor Noah’s Show, we have Judiciary which is the playground of the Democratic Alliance, we also have Executive and finally the media in which all domestic issues could be addressed not before the West imperialist that we are trying to crush.
Robert Sobukwe and his contemporaries would be agitated to see the current economic conditions of this country and the starvation as well as feuds in the mother continent.
We have a continental structure called the AU which can be classified as group of friends who meet occasionally. This is the same AU which China built it its headquarters in Addis Ababa, it will be ridiculous to expect it to be sovereign.
It is a beggar and therefore its existence it’s meaningless and should be introspected. This AU was built around the philosophy of Pan Africanism but that element seems to be lacking and kills all.
