1000 Xhosa men were killed on this day. Nxele went into hiding and 4 months later surrendered. He was taken to Robben Island. He drowned trying to escape the prison on 25 December 1819.

What do we make of this.... sterkfontein.

It's Freedom Day but I am thinking about the Group Areas Act 41 which was passed on this day in 1950. Everything about these two historic moments sharing a day that is both devastating and infuriating.

Zikhona Valela They liked to create these historic frictions. They are everywhere in the “New South African” lexicon of falsehoods and illusions. Even our national anthem speaks to this.

South Africa grief.
