Grave To Grace: Prose
Wrote this as a tribute to Mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela to honour her life, and contribution to political discourse as a anti-apartheid activist. In celebrating Women’s day, taking cognisance of many sheroes of similar stature, I contend with the notion of immortality, it is perhaps in the renewal of their hard sought values and determinations, that they too, never die.

Zabalaza: Soweto Burning
Written in light of 1976 Soweto Uprising. No more fitting quote than this - "The consolidation of South Africa's democracy depends on socialization of youth into a good adult citizenry and their integration into society and polity" - Author Unknown

UnFreedom: Prose
Looking on Freedom Day at the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre (JHGC), we reflect on the 27 years of our young democracy, and take into sober account that all the while South Africans were queuing to cast their ballot on the side of liberty, our Rwandan brothers and sisters were being slaughtered in the hundreds of thousands. As we revisit the lessons of our past, we remember the Father of Pan Africanism and Co-Founder of the OAU, Late Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah, having passed on the 27th April 1972 and reconcile the assault to the bondage that Tata Nelson Mandela experienced in the quest to unshackle the fetters of degradation weighing the countenance of the Black soul. We ask, what the grave affront has been worth, in the wake of systemic inequality and xenophobia - acknowledging however while significant and undeniable gains have been made... there is still a tremendous cost to tally - so we raise our hopes in the African Continental Free Trade Agreement as an avenue to bridge the ample divide, believing in the bounty of Mother Africa, well able to draw fruits where once there was only blood.
