What the South African media has been referring to as "gender-based violence" is another symptom of a broken society as a result of colonialism and the rise of capitalism. We can’t solely blame the perpetrators of these crimes without examining the underlying issues or causes of these social ills that are inherent in colonial domination.
The lockdown imposed by the South African government on the people as a response to the global Coronavirus pandemic has proven to be worsening our colonial misery as the African working class, more specifically for us as women.
“Nicola was so dedicated. She’s going to live on through all of us, who knew her, who love her and were able to share memories with her. She transitioned as a dedicated mother and revolutionary on Saturday, April 4, 2020, fighting for our people & I'm sure she wouldn’t have wanted to transition any other way.”
Colonialism and slavery is what has divided us. Fighting colonial domination is what will unite us.
