Words of appreciation/Amazwi ombulelo

I just can't remember the day I joined facebook network but it was November 2008. It gave me such a huge interest of building friendship and network with people I don't know nor even see. The purpose of this was to form/establish a group of people that will live their own culture, custom and practices, a group of people that will engage the entire society with tradition and African religion.

Through all the time I tried my best, I can feel the positive impact we had/have on each other. Before joining the network I have been THE Lungile Masina who was proud of himself but now I feel more confident than ever because of the communication I had with my friends in various groups that I participated on. The topics we shared built my moral, gave me ideas on some ways of living my life as a person. Queries directed to me gave me courage to research and use all resources I had which included consulting with other people from all walks of life which in turn increased my network. There were some which were challenging and costly. I remember there was a lady in Cape Town who struggled to get her clan family and I had to travel to Queenstown and look for related clans I knew and was referred to family of same surname.

I once wrote on my wall that my salary is being deducted at work for abusing the office phone *as I’m writing I’m laughing at this point* which I used to research on enquiries I got from FB of which I didn’t have answers at hand. The only thing that drive me is my motto of life ‘don’t stop until you succeed’ and I owed that much for my fb family. I did all that as if I’m employed though it was for fun, at some point I considered it as a part of my life which in now continuing facebook or no facebook.

The tasks that were given to me gave me strength to do research as much as I could. I remember when I attended work conference in Bloemfontein in 2009 my boss told us that he'll close all the internet in all branches because he is receiving emails with virus threats but he continued saying "But guys there are some of you which are using internet for good purpose and don't just open any sites but I’ll see what I’ll do". While he was talking I just remembered that on the 31/12/08 he asked me to close the office at 11:00am and I was busy reading something on Daily Dispatch site so I told him that I’m busy with some research online then I’ll lockup when I’m done, he replied  "its fine", due to high volume of the information that I was downloading I had to lockup at 15:00pm.

Then 3 months after the conference I heard that there’s no internet access on other branches in Free State, I thought they will come to my branch and finalize but that didn't happen till to date....in that case I thank my ancestors for being there for me ensuring that I get all the happiness and resources that I deserve for all the work that I do in praising their name.

This note serves as my last note on facebook, finally hope to establich friendship further than fb, you know this network made life so simple for us in a sense that you know when you walk out of your town you can't sleep over the street while have friends on facebook. It reminded me of an ancient ‘norm’ where a household is always ready for an unexpected visitor. December last year while having fun I got a call from a friend (whom I got from fb) whose got stuck just outside my home town but unfortunately I was not around but then we both managed to work something out, so facebook did/is building a huge network in my life and simplified life.

FB has been so fantastic that some met their life partners / soul mates, some met their old friends which were difficult to find. I thank everyone who helped/assisted me and develop my life in this venture. There have been sour moments in my life but when I connected with fb family I began to smile and be refereshed and gain all the confidence I lost in a bad moment.

I would therefore like to keep this communication with all my friends in different places.

The second last group I joined (Mbathane's Family the actual name of the group is Masimanyaneni Makhuma) is part of my life, the group I joined early 2009 (Xhosa people Rock), (Amasiko akwaNtu),(Ubhalo lwesiXhosa) and all other groups that I took part in has made me realize that I’m the man indeed *with smile*.

I am lost of words to say, when I met Siyabulela Mkhangisa, Viwe Maninjwa, Nangamso Manyakanyaka, Phuthumile Fuyani, Sibongile Pothelwa, Lundi Dyosophu Bethuja Qhwesha, Nqubela Rhuxwana Xaba, Andile Sigenu, Siyasanga Zangqa,Mziyanda Mkhuma Bulani, Nondumso, Samora Nqweniso kaMalangana etc, truly the list is endless most of them I didn't mention, when i think of them the conversations we share and used to share still ring a bell in my mind and cant help but smile.

I managed to visit a few and my aim were to visit as many as possible but I couldn't due to work commitments and my calling.      

I thank you all my friends for being there for me, my political colleagues I thank for being part of my life in such a wonderful way and I do hope that the purpose that made me join facebook network will soon be the idea that will be bought by the black African nation, how can I leave the name of my Nigerian friend whom I’m expecting to see sometime this year all the way from Nigeria to SA ( Andrew)

Thank all my fellow people

Concepts of Easter (Christianity) explained in ATR

Main concepts of Easter (Christianity) explained in ATR – how are they conducted

Ingoma – Wadidiyel’unonkala ngasemlanjeni
Camagwini
Mandibulise kubantu abadala, oobhuti bam, oosisi bam, oontanga ndini, umlisela nomthinjane. Camagu.
Ndinezinto ezimbini endifuna ukuzichaza phambi koba ndingene kusingaye, ndizichaze noba ndikubani na.
Okokuqala, ndizakucacisa ngegama endithe ndalisebenzisa. Inoba abanye abantu libenze bexhungu bazibuza imibuzo emininzi ngalo nangam nangabantu abathe bacebisa ukuba kubizwe mna. Eligama ndithetha ngalo leli lithi "camagu". Abantu balichaza ngolichaza ngokwasenkolweni, amaKrestu balayamanisa no "amen", abantetho isisiZulu bona balayamanisa negama elithi "thokoza" – ndivumelana nabo ndingavumi ngelithi aliphelelanga kulonkcazelo. Lithetha izinto ezininzi kwaye akukho ntlobo yamntu engalibanga – ligama lesiNtu. Kuthi ekhayeni kwakukhala lonto ehlatyiweyo xa kusenziwa isiko, uve abantu bekhaya nabokuhlala beyiyizela bathi "camagu, icamagu livumile", lithi lakusebenza iyeza ebelikhandiwe ekhayeni (kusetyenziswe utywala besiNtu) uve kuyimigcobo ekhayeni kuthwe "icamagu livumile", amagqirha anentsimbi ayinxibayo ekuthiwa li "camagu", nanjengoba ndenzile – ndiyendabulisa ndisithi camagu, naxa ubonakalisa ukugqiba uthetha okanye uvalelisa liyasetyenziswa, naxa ungqina lonto ithethwayo uyakwazi ukulisebenzisa, njalo njalo. Ayilo gama lobugqirha/lamagqirha.......Camagu!!!
Okwesibini, ndinemibongo emibini endithanda ukwabelana ngayo nawe. Ibhalwe ngu Gqrirha N. Mndende kwincwadi yakhe ethi Kutheth’ithongo. Omnye ndizakuwufunda phambi koba ndingene kulento ndiyimele apha, wona uthi Umthonyama. Omnye ndiwufunde ndakugqiba ukuniphakela kwesisityana sam, wona uthi Siyacamagusha.
Wena uzibuza ukuba azi ezizinto ndizithetha apha nendisezakuzithetha ndizazelaphi na ndiyinxalenye ye "lost generation" – uzundibuze ndakugqiba, ndakuchazela. Into ebangela ndingalichazi ngoku ibele endincanca kulo kungoba hleze ndithi ndakuchazela ngalo ulindele lukhulu kwintetho yam, okanye ungandimamelisisi okanye undigwebe ngenxa yolwazi onalo ngebele lam.
Ndingu maDlamini, uJama Sjadu, Fakade, Mngxib’unoboya, Cubungulashe, Gqabi, Gugu lamagwala, mdak’omnyama ongeva sepha, iZizi elimnyama neenkomo zalo. Ndizalwa yintombi yasemaTshaweni, Mdange ka tshiwo, uTogu, Khawuta, umntwan’enkosi eyinkosi ngokwakhe, uSkhomo okhaya likwaZwelitsha eQonce ukhaya khulu ukwaMasingatha kwaseQonce. uDlamini uzalwa yintombi yasemaNcotsheni, ooRhadu, Momane, Smukumuku intombi yaseCumakala, umamTshawe uzalwa yintombi yaseMonti eMooiplaas eNgxingxolo umaMbamba, uThangana uKrila uRhasi. Ikhaya lam liseDimbaza, ukhaya khulu ukuQoboqobo eZingcuka phezulu, eJojweni. Apha eKapa ndimi apha eKhayelitsha eIlitha Park. Camagu!!!!
"Ufundo lombongo – Umthonyama ngokokubhalwa ngu Gqr N Mndende"Kuthwe mandizokuthetha ngezinye zezinto ezingundoqo ngelixa lePasika kwinkolo yobuKrestu kodwa mna zendizithethe ngokwenkolo yakwaNtu(African Traditional Religion). Ndithe ndachonga izinto zane, ezi zezi zilandelayo: ukuzila, uku(zi)nikezela/sacrifice, idini, uvuko. Phambi koba ndizichaze ngokwakwaNtu ndizakuchaza indlela endiye ndazinabisa ngayo ngokwakwaKrestu ukwenzele sizoqondana kakuhle (ukhumbule ke ukuba isikhokelo sethu lixesha eli sikulo – iPasika). Ngokokwam ukuqonda ngokwakwa Krestu zihamba ngoluhlobo:
Ukuzila
Uku(zi)nikezela, nedini (ndizidibanisile ngoba ziyahambelana)
Uvuko – kukuvuka kwakhe emva kwentsuku ezintathu. – Unikezelo, ngulamzuzu uYesu anikezela ngobakhe ubomi ukuba enziwe "idini" ze abakholwayo kuye bahlambululwe/baxolelwe izono – zezantsuku zimashumi mane uYesu wathi wazila ngazoCamagu!!!!!!
(Bantu bakuthi) andizanga ku kudida ngqondo yamntu ngento akholelwa kuyo, andizanga kuphikisa nto, andizanga kusengela phantsi nkolo yamntu, andizanga kuguqula mntu – asiguquli thina phaya ekhaya, andizanga kukhubekisa mntu. Ndizokwabela ngolulwazana ndinalo, ndizokuvisa into endiyityayo. Kodwa ukuba kuthe kwenzeka ezinye zezinto zingentla zakukhubekisa – ngxe ayizonjongo zam, uzundikrwece phambi koba ndihambe ndakucacisa apho kufuneka inkcazelo.
Abanye abantu bazakucinga ndizokuthetha ngesiko kanti a(ku)njalo, isiko yinxalenye yenkolo (inkolo nganye inamasiko nezithethe zayo).
KwaNtu ezizinto zine azisoloko zihambiselana, kwaye zisenokungalandelelani ngokoluhlobo sizijonge ngalo.
Uvuko
Uku(zi)nikezela, idini
Ithongo
Umgaqo/procedure
Ukupha
Ukuzila
Ukuzila kwaNtu kuhamba nentlonipho kulento izakwenzeka phakathi kwekhaya. Kuqalwa ukuzilwa nokunika intlonipho ukususela ngalamini bekuhlelwi kwibhunga. Ibhunga ke kulapho kuhlala khona abantu bekhaya bebonisana ngalomcimbi uzakwenziwa, ukuba kuzakuba khona idini kujongwe umkhonto wekhaya ukuba uwulungele na lomsebenzi, intlabi imi njani neminyanya yekhaya, imo apha phakathi kwekhaya injani na – akukho magqubu, akukho bantu banentliziyo ezigobileyo, njalo njalo. Kwezantsuku zisondele imini yomcimbi wonke umntu kufanele alale apha ekhayeni(kulendawo izakuba nomcimbi – abantu bancame i bhedi zabo bazolala kwezi zalapha) enomzi wakhe umntu engenawo. Lamini yomcimbi kufane ibeyimini ezolileyo, ezele yimigcobo nochulumanco kungabikho zikhali, zijwili, milwo(ngakumbi kubantu abangqamelene ngqo nomcimbi). Kuthi ke izinto zangenziwa ngendlela ubone kusenzeka izinto ngezinto eziphazamisa umcimbi – okanye ungabikho kwa wona. Ngamanye amaxesha into esetyenzisiweyo ukwenza idini ingavumi ingakhali okanye ithi sele ikhalile kubekho imilwo, izigezo zisenziwa ngabekhaya. – Ndiyayazi xa kuthethwa ngomba wokuzila abantu bacinga ngokufa kuphela Kanti akusoloko kunjalo. Ngoku ndizakunaba ngokuzila phambi koba kubekho umsebenzi ekhayeni. Kuzilwa noba kuzakwenziwa idini okanye alizukwenziwa, into engundoqo kukuba kuzakuthethwa nabo balele ukuthula, amathambo amhlophe. Camagu.... – ngamanye ke amaxesha suba kungekho nto ethongiweyo okanye esilelayo kwimicimbi yekhaya. Uve kuthwa uJongi ubulela ooSkhomo ngayo yonke into abamenzele yona, okanye ucela iintsikelelo – kuthwa ke kukhanda iyeza. Apha akubikho dini kodwa abanezinwe baye baxhele bapheke kodwa lonto ixheliweyo ibe ingatheth’into. Kumcimbi ololuhlobo kuyasilwa nje utywala besiNtu – ukuba icamagu livumile lizakubonwa kulafatyi. – kwindawo ngeendawo, nakumakhaya ngamakhaya kuyaziwa ukuba xa kwenzeke into ethile kufanelwe izinto zihambe ngendlela ethile. Umzekelo xa ikhaya lithe lashiywa ngutata kuyaziwa ukuba kufanele akhatshwe, abuyiswe. Nalapho ngokwekhaya elo kwenziwa idini ngalonto isetyenziswayo likhaya, ze abantu bekhaya banikezele ngabanako ukuqinisekisa ukuba yonke into iyaphumelela. – Kuxhomekeka kuhlobo lomcimbi ozakwenziwa ze wazi ukuba uzakusebenzisa ntoni na okanye yintoni ozakwenza ngayo idini. Wena mntu uzakwenza idini, unikezela ngento onayo ezakuthi ibelulutho ekuqabeliseni umcimbi lowo. Zininzi iindlela ekuthi kutyhileke ngazo uhlobo lomcimbi okufanele wenziwe, umzekelo, kusenokutyhilwa ngethongo okanye ibeyinto ekufaneleke yenziwe ngenxa yesehlo esithile – nalapho kuxhomekeka ngokwekhaya. {ndifuna singalahlekani ke ngoku ngoba nindiva ndithetha ngemicimbi yekhaya, nangamathongo kodwa bendithe ndizakuzichaza ezizinto ngokwenkolo yakwaNtu. Kule nkolo umntu akakwazi kukhonza eyedwa – ukhonza kunye nekhaya lakho, nabantu basekuhlaleni. Kaloku khumbula sikholelwa kwiminyanya – ngabantu bekhaya ke abo – yona isithethelela kuQamatha[lo simbiza ngombiza – Thixo, Modimo, Mvelingqangi, Lord, God, Yehova, Jah, Allah} – umba wethongo ubanzima ngoba kufanele ufumane umntu ozakwazi ukuxazululela lona, alicacise. Umzekelo ndikhe ndathonga kukho abantu pha kum endlini – ndisuke ndiphakama ndichaze ukuba kusemanini. Ezinye izinto ude uphele uzithonga xa ungade uzenze, uchazelwe nendlela omawuzenze ngayo. Kulo umzekelo – kufanele ndenze umcimbi wokuzazisa, kufanele ndiqonde ekhaya ukuba amaZizi xa esenza umsebenzi ololohlobo basebenzisa ntoni na(igusha, inkomo, ibhokwe) ukwenza idini, mna ke kufanele ndincame ndinikezele ngeqhosha ukufezekisa lomcimbi. – uvuko kwaNtu yinto esingenayo ngoba kaloku asikholelwa ekubeni umntu uyafa. Umntu uyazalwa, adlule kwizigaba zonke zobomi bomntu ngokwesini sakhe, nangokwezinto zekhaya (enzelwe isiko lokuqaba-eli silibiza ngolibiza ngoku abanye bathi yimbeleko, abanye ingubo njalo njalo {oyena nobangela welisiko kukwazisa umntwana wekhaya kwiminyanya}, ukwaluka / intonjane, intambo, umendo, njalo-njalo). Kuthi kwakufika ithuba lokwahlukana kwenyama nomphefumlo kuthwe umntu udlulele ngaphesheya(not overseas) uye kwelemimoya ilizwe ( ilizwe lengqikelelo), into ethetha ukuba usekhona phakathi kwethu ngokomoya, uyokusisebenzela asithethele kuQamatha – yilonto singathi Phumla ngoxolo ngoba kaloku ayondawo yokuphumla leya kuyasetyenzwa. Uthi akuba kwelemimoya kuthwe ngumnyanya/sisinyanya.

KwaNtu, iPasika asinayo kodwa siye sithi rhoqo sibenemicimbi ngemicimbi silikhaya okanye isithili(zinqabile kodwa ngoku ezo). Sithi sinqule sicamagushe kwabalele ukuthula, amathambo amhlophe sibulele, sinikele sisithi makudede ubumnyama kuvele ukukhanya. Camagu.........

Inthetho yenkuthazo kulutsha

June 2010

Mandicamagushe kuni mzi kantu mz'ontsundu, ndicamagushe kubantwana begazi abaphethe izizwe zikaQamata ngentobeko nothando, ndicamagushe kubantu abamhlophe abasetyenziswa ekuphiliseni umdilili wesizwe,ndicamagushe kumaqhawe esisizwe alwelwe ubuzwe nokubuya komhlaba wethu namasiko,ndicamagushe kubantu benkolo ezakuhleneyo nakwinkokheli zenkolo yemveli ndithi philani mzi kantu.

Kulenyanga siyazi ukuba sijongene nezinto ezininzi ezilulutho lwesizwe nezithe zakha ubomi bomntu omtsha kodwa phambi kokuba ndingene nzulu kwizigaba zalenyanga ezingqamene nolutsha ndibawela nje ukuwenza mafutshane ngokwenkolo yemveli le sikholelwa kuyo silulutsha oluqulathe lenkuthazo, ndibawela nje ukuveza ukubaluleka kwalenkolo kumntu nakubomi abutsha.

Inkolo yemveli yinkolo yobawo mkhulu babethi banxibelelane nomdali ngayo kumaxesha angaphambili kungekafiki amamishinari kweli lomzantsi africa, yinkolo yinkolo yamanyange ethi ngokunqula kwethu siluluntu isinxibelelanise nomdali usozinto zonke.Sithi ke xa sinqula kulenkolo sibe sisenza amadini abhekise kumdali wethu sicela sibulela siyaleza kumanyange wethu ze wona acengacengane nomdali usombawo ibenguye ke othulula intsikelelo kuthi. Le nkolo nanje ngenkolo isekezelwe phantsi kwentlonipho nentlonelo sithi ke ukuze sinxibelelane noQamata ngokuthi sithethathethane neminyanya yethu ze yona icengacengane noQamata elo ke ibelikhonco olunyulu lonqulo olusiphilisayo lusinqandele ezintshabeni zethu ngalo lonk'ixesha.Kumbula ukuba kuthi umntu efuna ukuthetha nenkosi yakhe uqala adibane namaphakathi abike kuwo ze wona ayokumcengela enkosini ngalonto aze ngayo,uthi umntwana ekhayeni sele kukho nto ayifunayo kuyise athethe nomama wakhe ze ibengumama ozakucengacengana notata yandule ke ukufumaneka lonto.

Umntu omtsha ke yonke lencoko ilapha ngentla yile ebonakala ngathi ayakhi nxibelelwano nothixo kwaye yakhangeleka nje ngenkolelo engeyiyo eyesisizwe ngenxa yokufika kwamamishinari athe aveza nkolo imbi,kaloku inkolo nolwimi olusetyenziswa ngumntu lolu lumbangela nemo yokuhlala kwakhe itshintshe umz; ukuba ungumXhosa uhlala phakathi kwabesuthu kwaye bayakoyisa ngolwimi ngenxa yobuninzi babo luye ke nolwakho ulwimi lohluleke uphele sele uthetha olwalwimi lwabo,nomzimba wakho ke uye uqhelane namasiko welolwimi uphele sele usenza wona yilento ke ndithi ulwimi ngundoqo wokuguqula umntu kwinkolelo yakhe ngendlela edelelekayo,ngundoqo wokulawula imivo yomzimba womntu ze le nto inxulumene naye ngokwegazi ayibone nje ngento engento.

Lonto ke yile yenzeke kulutsha namhlanje luqale lwabona ulwimi lwenkobe lungabalulekanga lwathanda ukusebenzisa olwasemzini laya ke lanefuthe kwindlela yokuphila kwabo yilento ke ndithe mandicacise nje ngalenkolo ukwenzela xa sincokola ukuya phambili ibe lento ikhanyile kontanga.

Le nyanga ke yinyanga ehlonipheke kakhulu kuluntu jikelele nalapha kulutsha,kaloku zininzi iziganko ezithe zenzeka ngonyaka ka 1976 kulenyanga apho umntu omtsha wayekwalwela elililwimi lwenkobe ndithetha ngalo kuba kaloku kwakufakwa ifuthe lokufunda ngalwimi imbi engunobangela wokulahlekisa intlalo yomzi ontsundu...ndithi huntshu kwabobantwana beloxesha bazinikezela ekucingeni eyona nto ibuyisa ubuntu nokuzidla kwethu ngendlela abazibopha ngayo kwinto abayiyo.Siyazi kaloku namhlanje sisalwa singabanye silwela ukulingana kwenkolo zesisizwe sikwaveza ngokubanzi inkolo le yemveli ekubonakele ngathi yeyona nkolo ingabonakaliyo kwaye ithathwe yenziwa ngathi yona iyodwa nje ilisiko asiyonkolo ngoko ke kweli lanamhlanje ixesha sizixhamla nje sikhwebula ingqiqo zolutsha ngokunxulumene nalenkolo yemveli, kuba kaloku uthi wakuthetha ngayo ibengathi uthetha ngesiko okanye ngento yamaGqirha.Namhlanje ke sithethela isidima salenkolo nokuhlonitshwa kwayo zezinye inkolo,ngurhulumente nazizizwe.

Kaloku amangamso esisizwe axhomekeke kuthi silulutsha lwesisizwe yilento ke le inyanga inyulelwe lona nje kuphela sokhumbula ezizinto zezintsuku bezikade zikho kumthetho kamthetho phambi konyaka lo ndiwuchaze apha ngentla, kulenkolo lixesha lokuqala konyaka kumntu omtsha kuba kaloku kuqala ubomi bobuntu budala kubafana lelona xesha lokuya kwabo esuthwini kuyolulekwa izimilo zabo nokuziphatha xa bengena kunyaka omtsha,lelona xesha sithi ababantwana bekade besaziwa nje yiminyanya makhe nabo bazibone kubo zibanceda, lixesha lonqulo ke eli lalenyanga nelokuhlonipha ababantwana bazakuba ngotata bangamso.Entonjaneni kumantombi nto lulutsha ke olo kulapho bekunxonxwa khona izimilo zabo belungiselelwa indlela yokuziphatha ebudaleni nasemzini,kaloku kulamaxesha wethu imitshato iqala apha ebutsheni bethu yilento ke nakweli siko belisenziwa ngelixesha lonyaka ngaphandle kokugula komntwana elifuna, ithi ke intombi yakulifumana ikwazi ukuziphatha izilungiselele ixesha layo lokwenda ibe ke nalapha ekuhlaleni kubonakala ukuba ngumntu omtsha lo oqeqeshekileyo, kaloku uthi ze athathwe umntu kubonwe impawu zokuziphatha kwakhe yonke ke lonto ibe ikhokelwa yintlonipho athe wayinikwa kowabo nalapha kulenqubo yentonjane.
Le nyanga ke yile kwenziwa phantse yonke imisebenzi enxulumene namanyange yilento ke iye ibikwe nje ngenyanga abantu bakuthi abachulumanca ngayo kuba kaloku kunxityelelwana nezihlwele ngamakhaya, basikelelekile ke abantwana abaya esuthini kulenyanga kuba bovuna lukhulu.

Ingaba siyiyo na lento siyiyo?

The question is quiet cleare to all of us and we have many ways to interpret it,the only thing that I'll do now is to interpret some of the things that we leaved with in the past and clearly identified us as human beings.

Once we were african those WHO where proud of themselves,who respected each other and treated other's with dignity,we once identified ourself with our indigenous games and language, we took care of our children's and females in the society, we once knew that a place to express our manhood is in mountain not in front of the woman.

We were a united nation shering the land and everything that we owned,the socialism that we had gives us strengh of identity and self pride. We had respect of all the nations and loved them,we were the nation that welcomes and respect visitor's  from other nations to receive blessing from our creator (Qamata).

Do we really who we are?
The answers are quiet brought for this question but i must say, we not what we are.

We can state several opinions on this mater but today we have our womans who are scared of walk alone midday, who are scared to be at home midday alone. We have children's who needs to be protected from kidnapping at all times, we have our property that should be locked safe at all our absent times at home.

So the answer is,we not what we were in the past

We fear taking care of each other's property because we treat each other as animals of different spices,we fear talking to each other at night because there is no trust. We used weapons that we meant for liberation to harm each other.

Do we really who we are?

No we not! in nature we there people who leaved peacefully in the community with love and passion towards each other, we leaved with no fear of anything but to take good care of each other's property.
We had love of all africans and other nations,the butter system that we used back then kept our human kindness.
No we not! because we've lost our human natural kindness and adopted the western life,so we are running under the harmful death while living.

Basically we better know more who we really are as african nation
