The Rainbow Nation: A Crisis of Ethno-Populism in South Africa

Although the multiculturalism of post-apartheid South Africa once led Nelson Mandela to popularize the phrase “rainbow nation,” this ideal now hangs in the balance at a crossroads of South African politics.

Reminder:

I am a #disabled #Asian #AnarchoSocialist & don't support any forms of colonial governments. I am huge on #decolonization & fighting for overdue #justice & #reparations & #equity for #POC communities.

I loathe #colonial #cops & their aligning #bigot governments - want to smash up all #ecocidal corporations & want a lot of #PublicServants aka #POLITICIANS in prison for their multiple #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

All three of us have faced multiple violent threats & assaults from RCMP. All three of us refused to bow down to any colonial corporate entities. All three of us lost loved ones to colonial violence. We are not built like some other women. We are women in active colonial resistance & it is a lifelong commitment. We do not have or will ever have white privileges. We respect our white comrades who have done heavy decolonization work a lot. We do not really respect anyone who always obeys any colonial masters & does not challenge them.

#RainbowNation #Resistance.

With #SisterFriends at frontlines. Warrior POC women against ongoing colonial ecocide. I had not slept for 3 days & had not bathed in 8 days at that time. I was chaining myself to bridge & other infrastructure for over a week. I had experienced over 50 RCMP CIRG raids by this time & refused to stop fighting back. We, war survivors, do not back down from colonial forces easily.

2021, from the frontlines.

Posting some of my older photos because I've been stuck at home for a bit & I have a ton of old photo memories.

This is from 2021. I went up for frontlines arrestees court support in #Nanaimo. Pictured here with sister-friend Ojistoh, Grandma Losa, Chiykotin & sister-friend Raven(Wolf) in front of Nanaimo courthouse.

It took me over 12 hrs to mentally & physically prep for PR media photoshoot this morning. Other than trying to lower my anxieties.
I had to ask for windows & doors to be left open, for their air filtration unit to get a new filter before my arrival at office. I put my personal air filtration unit near me, for entire time inside & kept my N95 mask on, except for the 26 seconds when we got our group photos taken by head TC photog. I used my nasal spray before & after entering building too.

I'm paranoid as heck over just those 26 seconds. Testing myself multiple times over next 72 hrs.

The article will be in tomorrow's Times Colonist newspaper & online too.
