      You suggest that Mbeki said “Idi Amin was a wise man.” I listened to this talk live at his birthday celebration, I have re-listened here again. At no point did Mbeki say General Amin was a wise man. He did not even intimate that. You either missed the joke or are distorting for clicks.

Then-again, Thabo was never afraid to speak his mind, EXACTLY what I like about him. But he is more wrong than correct.

    Iddi Amin was a genius. A boy from Northern Uganda, ended up in Kenya as a soldier in Nakuru, then Kings east African riffle army, self educated and eventually was fighting in Sudan as a liberationsoldier. He went back home to Uganda, rose in ranks to become general of chief of staff in Ugandan army and eventually took over the presidency in 1971.

    I am Kenyan. I lived in South Africa for 8 years, I basically grew up there.
    But there is one major thing that hurts me to the core, South Africans hate fellow African immigrants than whites who oppressed them for around 300 years and the apartheid regime of 46 where a black man was the perfect allegory of shit.
    I was beaten, bullied and harassed by my fellow black students and they always use to chant the famous south African song of " kigwara gwara kinuga kisuga kinuga eeeh" which loosely translates to LEAVE LEAVE YOU FOREIGNERS YOU STINK
    During the apartheid regime when South Africa was crippled by chains of discrimination the rest of Africa cried with them, they were aided by The Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda but after their independence their leaders turned them against us.
    Most African immigrants in South go there to find solace and safety but arrive only to find peril and doom awaiting them.
    South Africans need to wake up and change because reciprocity of bad deeds is paid here on earth,
    KARMA IS A BITCH!!!

      @rogermoosh Před rokem +1

      THIS IS A STRAIGHT SIMPLE MESSAGE TO ALL AFRICAN CITIZENS: Stop being naive and unnecessarily unreasonable. Read this message carefully to help assess your own attitude.
      Every post independent African country will HAVE to go through a cycle of tearing itself apart through internal conflict be it tribal,economic,religious,political or otherwise. When that cycle roller-coaster comes to your own country (door step), you will wish your fellow African neighbors were your friends. Inevitably that's where you will pin your hopes of survival. To offer you the basic fundamentals of life for you to carry on. Be it psychological ,moral,financial,health and other material support for you to survive. Unfortunately if you were hostile to these neighbours either as immigrants to your country or scuffled across borders, then the only choice you will have, is to endure your demolition within your burning country. Some shallow minds believe that it was the fault of the people of those countries. Yes indeed true as it may be but you will also go through those mistakes inevitably. It's human nature.
      If your own country has not gone through this cycle don't worry it's coming. It's like amstel beer it brews slowly. I can assure you it's coming.However intelligent citizens do smell the tell-tale signs of the on coming storm and usually years before. And unfortunately no body does anything about thwarting it despite everyone knowing because there's also always an accompanying atmosphere of fear in the general population.
      This i say so that you guys ,whoever you are and from whichever country in Africa you come from, you be aware and watch how you treat each other across your national borders.
      For you African country's citizens who love your fellow Africans from other African countries such as Rwanda,Zambia and Uganda who welcome fellow desperate Africans in need,GOD BLESS YOU . PEACE BE UPON YOU FOR GENERATIONS AND HAVE EVER INCREASING PROSPERITY and continue to :
      LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. So the holly book says.
      "What goes around must surely come around "
      is a formidable rule of nature and always unstoppable . So guys whoever your, think before you terrorize your neighbors when they desperately flee to yourcountries because to be frank with you the reverse will face you sooner than you think. African history has shown this to be the case and inescapable. In African countries, the TOXIC COMBUSTIBLE FUEL (corruption,nepotism,chronism,poverty,hunger,homelessness,collapsing infrastructure and institutions,lawlessness,cover up and crime) is ever present and in abundance.
      (Sounds familiar?)
      And ALL you need is a matchstick or a spark to ignite it and set off an explosion of un imaginable proportions.
      Unfortunately this FUEL is very much available everywhere in Africa.
      Question to you then is; do you see this FUEL in your country?
      If the answer is yes I thank you and request you to be careful.
      If the answer is no; you may be right depending where you are but chances are high that you are either in DENIAL , DON'T KNOW,DON'T CARE or simply buried your head in the SAND like an ostrich.
      HATRED FOR YOUR FELLOW FOLKS WILL NEVER MAKE YOU ANY STRONGER IF ANYTHING IT'S A SIGN OF WEAKNESS.
      My input and advice to those who care to reason and do good.

However, the abuse of our continent and pressure on world leaders by their lobby groups is communicated succinctly. Imagine the army cars sponsored and driven around Mali. Yet these countries couldn't bother about what South Africa, during Thabo Mbeki Era saw it necessary for the Malians. I feel sorry for our African brothers and their leaders, to live through such periods of insensitive powerful nations who drain Mali's wealth. Imagine the powers that made two powerful Presidents docile in 2003. Very interesting 👌 President Mbeki.

Having said I have not a shredd of bitterness towards no one blk or white ,as they say: Is just politics! But I think in the 21st century Africans with the support of friends allieds across the ocean should help make sure African wealth works for Africans not supporting tyrants that help cart their wealth and resources away. Fairtrade is not fair, commonwealth where the wealth is not common and Hague has of been bias.

    Many years have past and Idi Amin is dead, but on reflection, he was a true son of Africa committed to the complete economic, social and political liberation of Africa. He was initially mislead by the British and misunderstood by some Ugandans. He meant well for the economic emancipation of ordinary Ugandans. Today, Ugandans own their land, livestock and national economy. It is one of the few countries in Africa, where the economy is owned and run by indigenous persons. Go there and you will see for yourself. If you are a Foreign Investor, you can only partner with them, on their own terms. Idi Amin put the economy into the hands of Ugandans, to the displeasure of Africa's colonial masters. And, Amin, could not understand, what wrong he had done! He lacked political administration and then collided with the politicians. Amin never killed ordinary Ugandans who went about their normal legal duties and businesses. He was hard on criminals, political gimmicks and agents of imperialism. He was committed to the complete liberation of Africa all the way to CapeTown South Africa including Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde. Yes, in the process he made some mistakes and we all make mistakes. He may be forgiven. He was an ordinary intelligent person who was misunderstood. May the Almighty God forgive him and rest his soul in eternal peace.
