Gloudina, vlieg sommer maar byvoorbaat na jou moer. Geagte lede van die
nuusgroep, ek dink dit sal goed wees om die onder oog te kry. Sekere
implikasies vir opinies oor Afrika en hoekom ek dink Afrika het 'n groot
agterstand...

TEKS HIER GEPLAAS VIR GEMAK. JAMMER DIT IS IN ENGELS.
London - Zimbabwe's controversial President Robert Mugabe was voted the
third-greatest African of all time, topped only by South Africa's Nelson
Mandela and former Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah, in a survey for New
African magazine announced Wednesday.
Mugabe, widely criticised outside Zimbabwe for stifling dissent and
crippling the economy of his once prosperous southern African nation,
was an "interesting" choice because "a high-profile campaign in the
media has painted him in bad light", the New African wrote.
The London-based magazine said responses flooded in after the survey was
launched last December to nominate the top 100 most influential Africans
or people of African descent.
Heroes of independence movements in Africa and African-American figures
in the United States figure prominently on the list.
'Have people forgotten Africa's history? Must this worry us, as a people?'
Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first post-colonial prime minister, ranks
sixth, followed by US civil rights leader Martin Luther King.
Pele, the legendary Brazilian soccer star, comes in 17th, followed by
Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley, numbering among those called
"Diasporans" by New African.
Radical civil rights leader Malcolm X, at ninth, is a rank above United
Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, from Ghana, who comes just ahead
of the US boxer Muhammad Ali.
Few women made the cut. The highest-ranked female, at 12th, is Winnie
Mandela, former wife of the South African president. Others include the
dynamic duo of tennis, American sisters Venus and Serena Williams
(together ranked 73rd), and ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti at number 81.
The magazine noted that most of the top 100 were from Africa's
post-colonial period. "Have people forgotten Africa's history? Must this
worry us, as a people?" it asked.
The list appears in the August-September issue of New African, which has
a circulation of roughly 30 000 across dozens of countries. It said this
was the first such survey it had carried out in a decade. - Sapa-AFP

Plato, een ding wat ek in 'n leeftyd in Afrika geleer het, is dat daar twee
stelle reëls vir Afrika is: Die eerste een is die een wat wêreldwyd geld
en deur almal ondersteun word, en dit is dat daar in Afrika demokrasie moet
wees. Die tweede stel reëls is die een waarmee swart Afrika maak net
presies wat hy wil en fok die wêreld. Die aantal mense wat dood is in
Zimbabwe agv van MalBob se doene en late is veel meer as wat ooit dood is
ten tyde van apartheid. Hongersnood onder die algemene publiek is algemeen
en hy vernietig sy ekonomie, ens., ens. En wat doen die res van Afrika?
Veroordeel hom? Nee! In swart Afrika is wat hy doen die taak van 'n
sterk man en Afrka verstaan mag en geweld. Ja, hulle stem saam met die
Westerse simpatiseerders wat vir hulle geld instop uit simpatie vir hul
lyding, maar hulle lag net lekker vir hierdie tipe van idioot en vat die
geld en gaan doen daarmee presies wat die Westerse lande nie sou wou gehad
het nie!

Ek sou nie te veel kultureel hierin lees nie...
Onlangs ook in 'n Spaanse taalklas by die dosent verneem die Spanjaarde het
ook slegs 'n enkele woord "famosa" vir beide berug/beroemd (vergelyk maar
die Ingilse "famous"/"infamous").
Die hedendaagse obsessie met berugtheid/beroemdheid is beslis mos nie
endemies aan Afrika, of swart afrikane nie - kyk maar net hoe lank is "Die
Huisgenoot" en soortgelyke gespuis al met ons ;)
