Rivonia vs Bethal Part 2: Multiracilism and its nature of collaboration

The adaptation of the freedom charter in Kliptown in 1955 by the ANC (if I am not mistaken it also forms integral part of the republics constitution) meant that its liberation struggle had taken a shift from its earlier established military stance by ANCYL in 1949. The Programme of Action without equivocation addressed the imbalance of the day. It was forcing a change in the status quo by establishing a strategy for an armed struggle, something that the ANC had done without for almost half a century. Remember, since the Frontier Wars (believe it or not these started in the late 18th century with the assassination of Chief Chungwas’ son and ended in the early 20th century with the murder of Chief Bambatha kaZondi....by the British) that were aimed at demoralizing our culture and sovereignty/armed resistance, our struggle has been remolded into passive resistance and institutionalized congresses that are influenced by an elite class of African who has been ‘civilized’. The emergence of liberals such as the Communist Party of South Africa allowed white supremacy opportunist to influence the newly formed liberation agenda that was non –violent with slogans such as socialism and communism.... isms and schism that would protect white guilt, raise apartheid debt and dilute the true Africanist agrarian agenda. Verily, it was the youth (as it was again in 1976, and at the present moment we the youth are in a similar situation) who emerged in the ANC National Conference 17 December 1949: “The fundamental principles of the Programme of Action of the African National Congress are inspired by the desire to achieve national freedom. By national freedom we mean freedom from White domination and the attainment of political independence. This implies the rejection of the conception of segregation, apartheid, trusteeship, or white leadership which are all, in one way or another, motivated by the idea of white domination or domination of the white over the Blacks. Like all other people the African people claim the right of self-determination. With this object in view, in the light of these principles we claim and will continue to fight for the political rights” This was never going to amuse the architects of separate development and racial discrimination. A fast and swift plan had to arise. The inevitability of war could not be escaped and white supremacy was under attack mortally. Who better than the slave can protect 'master' from the oncoming onslaught by the oppressed? Between 1949 and 1955, separate development had become multiracialism, an idea embraced by herrenvolk regime, white liberals and of course the perpetual student, the ‘House Slave” in the form of the ANC. It became fashionable for Africans to be sympathetic to the oppressor as fighting them tooth and nail would be considered barbarian and uncultured. And most definitely, the ANC front guard saw themselves as civilized. Thus, the nature of collaboration was born. Participation in our own subjugation had been born. Just as the name Azania was rejected as the name of our land, a new Rainbow country was forged to keep the status quo in check without the balance of power shifting, making sure that economically white supremacy is harbored; the land is still an elusive goal to be attained, politically compromised by collaborators. Question: is there a color black in the rainbow? So it is clearer now my people. The Rivonia treason trial and the Freedom Charter and are the tools that were used to create the social crimes that exist in this country today.In the same breathe the Bethal treason trail was a scam!!!! And the Military and 'True Africanist' loaded Program of Action was the casualty case of all this political madness.
