The Pain of Apartheid.
I’m applying for dual citizenship while I’m here. My mama tells me she has never had a birth certificate. She has a certificate of baptism because South Afrikans were not allowed to have birth certificates because they weren’t citizens and they couldn’t own THEIR LAND. How in the fc$ (sorry for the cursing) but it makes me sick to hear these things?! It was bad enough my grandparents and mama were exiled to Zambia because of apartheid. How do you have the caucasity to tell people on THEIR ANCESTRAL LAND that it ain’t theirs?! Everytime I see aAmw here I want to spit on them and push them into oncoming traffic (traffic and driving here is madness). I love being home but I swear these apartheid aAmw and Asians monsters and other yurugu’s “parents and fam” in Mzansi, hell all over the continent need to be slow singing and flower bringing till they are extinct. We passed a chinatown outside of Soweto, that needs to be a distant ash memory too. This is why I can only adjust here I don’t think I could stay for years.

How white european settlers stole South Africa From the Native Indigenous Black People:
The Natives Land Act of 1913

Union of South Africa
How Indigenous Native Black Peoples in Mzansi (South Africa) were pushed into Settlements/Reservations and Townships in South Africa:
One of the cruelest and ironic provisions of The 1913 The Native Land Act (the whole Native Land Act of 1913 was/is cruel and ironic) was the annexed territories that list “Areas of the Natives”.
What are “Areas of the Natives”?
These are settlements/reservations reserved exclusively for Indigenous Native Black South Africans. These “Areas” were arid lands. You can’t farm on these lands. These “Areas” were inalienable, meaning these “Areas” could not be transferred to new ownership. These “Areas” could not be bought or sold. The 1913 Native Land Act states only Natives could buy and sell land in this “Areas”. But since these “Areas” were inalienable, not even the Native Blacks whom the settlements/reservations were created for could buy land there. The land could only be sold if the entire Natives rebelled. If the Indigenous Native Blacks rebel, the lands will be confiscated. As long as the Native Black of South Africa remain loyal to the white South African government, no one could buy or sell land in their “Areas”.
According to the statues and laws of The 1913 The Native Land Act, an Indigenous Native Black could not obtain individual property title or right in these “Areas”.
These “Areas” were established on such a small scale that they became overcrowded, forcing many Native Black inhabitants to settle on white settlers lands for lack of space in the “Areas”, settlements reserved exclusively for Indigenous Native Blacks in South Africa.
According to The 1913 The Native Land Act, Indigenous Native Black South Africans could only buy land in Native Reservations/Settlement “Areas”.
These “Area” locations only represented 1/18 of territories in South Africa.
Therefore, Native Black South Africans could only buy land in 1/18th of the country. While the remaining 17/18th arable/farmable lands went to the white European settlers in South Africa.
