It is apparent that the manipulation of the South African Rand by 28 major banks has had a profound impact on the country and its people. The repercussions of these actions extend beyond mere financial losses, reaching the very fabric of society. The quest for justice and a more transparent financial system must continue. Let's get into it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/conversationswith-lankosi/message

When something is planned by the elites, it will be carefully orchestrated to divert our attention from the truth. The roll-out will be massive and newspapers will fly off the shelves, radio stations will be a buzz and the keyboard warriors shall begin trolling those who question the authenticity of the narrative that is being pushed. In today's episode we talk about this.

The National Shutdown which survived the winds of propaganda generated by the SA Government under the ANC and its partner in oppression the DA was a success. It also marked the start of a new era, where ANC officials expose themselves through the jabs they throw on social media and public platforms. If this is what the new dawn meant then they can keep it and allow the citizens of the country decide on which government they would want in charge. In today's episode we talk about how successful the shutdown was and what came out of it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/conversationswith-lankosi/message

I'm done with the selective outrage. Putting an end to corruption became a motto that helped them instill a sense of hope and their capability to achieve this goal, however this did not end well due to their failure to uproot the cause of corruption without being biased in their approach. We are faced with a problem of crooks in suits, that carry badges who hold senior positions that are alleged to have been parachuted by Mme Patricia M and she has proof which implicates the man with the hat who is a supposed anti-corruption activist, he was never scrutinized like Mr Digital Vibes which led to his resignation. A bold move that was clearly politically fuelled, however it wasn't enough motivation for the man with the hat to walk the plank.

There is a danger in not looking into the so-called solutions to our problems that the governments and capitalists present us. It is also weird to come for those who question the credibility of what is presented to us as facts, why punish them for having opposing views that provide a different perspective on your program if it is what you say it is?

When the news first broke out about a looming resignation from the outgone Deputy President, Mr David Dabede Mabuza and a pending cabinet reshuffle. It got us thinking about what the outcomes would be and if it would be beneficial to the citizens of this country or not.The reshuffle was long overdue but then again as a county sikhapile.

Despite every person in South Africa having the right to a local government that functions well by providing basic services without any complications- corruption has defeated the chance of government ever being able to fulfill it’s role in the delivery of basic services. Whistle-blowers are important for the uprooting of the ills. When a Whistle-blower exposes the rot in the system it comes at a cost, because their lives are constantly in danger. Even when they did the right thing they find themselves subjected to punishment, constant harassment, permanent silence or being exiled. In today's episode we get into ehy they blowers don't last.

On the 30th of September the multi-party coalition in the COJ collapsed after she was removed as the Mayor, despite her attempts to stop this from happening through garnering support from the masses with her #HandsOffJohannesburg strategy to save the city. The coalition consisted of the DA, ActionSA, Inkatha Freedom Party,FF+,Patriotic Alliance, ACDP,COPE,UIM and the ATM. She was ousted by 139 councillors including those from the Patriotic Alliance and The ANC’s Dada Morero was installed as the Executive Mayor. It is very weird for the DA to want to shift the blame and not shed light on the arrogance they displayed whenever their coalition partners suggested something. Their arrogance and inconsiderate ways led the Patriotic Alliance to jump ship and vote with other disgruntled parties to install Mme Colleen Makhubele from Cope as the Speaker of Council. The Dr forgot to fill us in on this when she began to point fingers towards others.. This is just my 2Cents on the matter.. 🙂🖤 She still remains the first female mayor of Johannesburg, despite only being in office for a period of 10 months. Dr Mpho Phalatse is the girl she thinks she is, but not for the political scene unless she leaves the smurfs.

Mama understood the power of the pen and she did not play when it came to opening the doors of oppression that were designed to keep black women out of the world of media and communication. She was the first to write an autobiography and the first black female editor of ‘The New Strand’. She is among the remarkable queens who laid the foundation we continue to build on as black female writers. In today's episode we celebrate Mme Noni Jabavu.

When those who continue to step our necks come out and parade themselves as revolutionaries, quoting the likes of uTat’Hani I can’t help but wonder why they think we are blind to the truth. Tat’Chris Hani, was a beacon of hope for the oppressed not only in South Africa but the Mother continent and the rest of the world. He stood out from those he led with as a true revolutionary of the working class and the poor at a time, when the leadership of the mass democratic movement had abandoned the vision for a just, classless, socialist society. He was a firm revolutionary that was feared by the system. In today's episode we remember Tat'Hani🖤 sources: https://www.politicsweb.co.za/politics/chris-hani-didnt-support-sellout-negotiated-settle https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/2018/04/10/i-do-not-believe-chris-hani-was-killed-by-the-right-wing-winnie-madikizela-mandela_a_23407340/ https://www.ohioswallow.com/book/Chris+Hani https://m.facebook.com/SA.History/photos/a.1006730952769950/2167732766669757/?type=3 Don't forget to visit my blog for my piece, click on that subscribe button like and please feel free to share 🖤 Remembering Chris Hani http://lankosiwrites.home.blog/2022/07/11/remembering-chris-hani/ also remember to send your voice messages and suggestions via the link provided. 🖤 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/conversationswith-lankosi/message

The void that exists in Africa with regards to leaders who are capable and genuine to the cause continues to deepen. Instead of improving the living conditions of their people, todays leaders float on the waves made by revolutionary leaders who came before them. We no longer have leaders of integrity and vision. In today's episode we tell the story of a young and radical leader who was among the first to recognize that the key to the development of Burkina Faso and the African continent was to improve the status of women. This man was the first African leader who appointed women in key positions in his cabinet, also recruiting them to form part of the military. He outlawed forced marriages also doing away with that vile tradition of female genital mutilation, he encouraged women to take on jobs outside home and to not drop out of school when pregnant. Not only that but this man was also among the first group of African environmentalists, planting over 10 million trees so they retain soil and halt the growing desertification of the Sahel. This leader actually promoted the idea of supporting local and buying local, instead of using a term to prey on the vulnerability of people. He actually came with an assignment and began to implement without hesitating. Thomas Sankara, is a hero we deserve to be taught about not that racist Indian who even has a whole square named after him in South Africa.
