The White-House Signed a Petition to Separate Cape from Saka

The theme that runs across the article is simply a divide of Whites only on the Cape side and the blacks on the other.

 

 

Signed by the White-House, the petition makes several claims that explain the land of Capetown doesn’t legally belong to “African black”, but to the aboriginal “Khoi and San groups” as well as to the “Dutch European settlers since 1652.”

 

The document appears to have described the Khoi and San ethnic group, not as “colured”, and that Cape isn’t just a rightful jurisdiction of the White settlers simply because it was a colonial take-over, but purposely because it’s the place where their ancestors settled centuries before British imperialism. Supporting the petition, the White House press statement states “Stop the Collective Punishment of Minorities in South Africa.

Zambian Smarts, Zambian Youths, Good Morning. Wake up!

Not only do the people hear Zambians speaking Madarin around it’s Airport, which was partly recently designed with Chinese language written all over it, the Zambian people recently received loans from China to update from “analogue to digital”.
