Weusi is a Swahili word meaning blackness. And this blog is exactly about that. Taking pride in who we are as a people. Reviewing our history in order to get an accurate picture - not the knuckle-dragging, primitive ape-man "fascinated" by shiny mirrors that we have been fed.

South Africa is still on a long walk to freedom. Democracy has been achieved and it came with a huge price tag. However black people are still not free. The most valuable freedom of all is freedom of the mind. A cage may be of gold but a cage it is nonetheless.

This is a space to discuss, learn and grow. A space to share ideas, get heated if need be but dialogue is half the battle.

Do you know your origins? Do you measure success in western terms? What is success to you as a black person in South Africa? How will our people shake the dependency mentality fostered by colonialism? What is YOUR role in South Africa's and Africa's development?

We were born for such a time as this people. Lives were lost, blood was spilled for us to inherit this land. Our people are still shackled in their minds. Let us not be the weak link, high on personal enrichment, dazed on upward mobility.

Let's get dekaffirnated people.
