Ubuntu is dead...RIP
Ubuntu was first taken seriously ill in 2008 when she was exposed to extreme violence including the burning of some foreign nationals. She appeared to have suffered a heart attack at the shock of how her citizens ( Mandela's people) had behaved in a chilling case of black on black racism, otherwise known as xenophobia.
Her illness was diagnosed as chronic but she recovered sufficiently to celebrate the coming of the world cup in 2010. It appeared she was on show for the whole world to see and she loved every moment. However in retrospect this was a veneer of deception and it soon emerged that Ubuntu had been used and her name abused for selfish needs. Confronted by the constant afrophobic and racist behaviour of police, citizens and institutions towards poor and vulnerable immigrants, Ubuntu continued to suffer and take strain in silence but with much fortitude. She was particularly disappointed by the impunity and lawlessness which is a hallmark of dealings with the harassment and killings of black foreigners.
Then the relapse came, not unexpectedly. Her condition quickly deteriorated as she watched the onslaught in KwaZulu Natal...men, women and children driven from their homes because of the accident of nature of being born, and born north of the Limpopo River.
Ubuntu collapsed yesterday as Emmanuel Sithole gasped for air after being stalked and stabbed like an animal in ALexandra township. There were no good men or women who came to her immediate rescue and belated efforts to rescucitate her were in vain. She died in the presence of politicians and other hypocrites.
Ubuntu will be deeply missed but she had suffered enough abuse at the hands of politicians, celebrities and citizens alike most of whom did not understand that ubuntu is first of all about personal responsibility and respect for life.
Ubuntu's only child, African Renaissance was still born; she is survived by her estranged brother Afropessimism. She leaves behind a deeply psychotic and psychologically disturbed nation in need of exorcism and mass treatment.
