Soweto in a nutshell a dream in a suitcase Podcast

Soweto in a nutshell. A dream in a suitcase Podcast EP 69. When fate ties you into a knot – What do you do? Soweto in a nutshell is a preview of Life in Soweto South Africa and a mindset of a new breed of creatures who seek something great and good for nothing, perhaps even free without paying a price for it. Yet! It is not about the entire history of Soweto, as it would not do justice to depict the
true history of Soweto.

Rather, this observation and the understudy of my people is a short representation of glimpses of its authentic strives and thrives, i.e. my heart-felt rhythms of its biological clock and the mixture of modern day blues. It is about the plight and courage of a people that stood to fight for an ideal purpose in life.

This was in the early days of political struggle in South Africa. The 60’s until the 80’s was a bleak period in the history of African people in South Africa under Apartheid.

We had challenges, but rose above and beyond limitations defined by destiny of a political agenda through a sick system of government injustice called “Discrimination In The Name Of Apartheid”. This was an institutionalized class and caste division called “Separate Development” of African people according to their culture and traditions, and residential allocations in various townships and cities, from living with other race groups  in the country.

Only to end up in 2018 with fragmented communities and tribes of individuals who are battling to make ends-meet. Their leaders amass and secure wealth and riches at the expense of stealing and disguising their looting in the name of BEE - BBBEEE laziness to thrive on poor leadership and chaos the country is facing today. 

In this journal my effort since 1994 is to try and crystallize the important parables of its pulse and unique blend of human strength and integrity of character in a way. To paint the inner and outer kaleidoscope of my observations to unravel but the basic unending, yet intertwined mystery of its unfolding yet unlimited but, complicated tapestry; I would like to call living under the “Fallacy Of A Faked Democracy” of 1994 elections.
