Statement of standing by Naledi Pandor comments
“today I, who is female (she/her) white and privilege, am aim attack on Afriforum and university institution ‘akademia’. As former sociological student of esteemed university of cape town with degree,as former private school learning pupil in same city, as present working in HR I make solidarity with naledi pandor, high rated socially aware former education secretary for state. I am also admire mrs. Pandor’s activism for palestine, number 2 issue for all of our lives. Number 1 issue remain fatal threat of far right podcasting.
In recent interview mrs pandor says – and is true – afrikaans university is ‘unacceptable’. She right. Unacceptable to build what state wanted but couldn’t. I am remembering now little smoking minister kader asmal once saying with emphasis ‘i will build universities in which the medium will be sotho and nguni languages’. Now afriforum building afrikaans university? Who afriforum think he is?
I find situation…what is word…oh yes ‘problematic’. I think can mean much problems – and afrikaans university means much problems. What happen if people speaking oh majestic language of european union esperanto? Is not true is just language of nudist caravan parks in northern western Germany, some men making with the pubic weaving services, plaiting etc. What for people speaking the Farsi? Is soon to be most common language in europe and i most happy for that.
Wot people is not realize about glorious and powerful woman mrs pandor is that she also european. She not even English public schoolgirl which rude local commentator willie madisha saying. He going ‘hong-hong-hong’ when she speaking once. She said: ‘take that back now!’ He just go ‘hong-hong-hong’ again.
i see only little bit racist in willie madisha, but big europhobe. Lot of europhobes in sa media politick commentary.makes sad reading.
See what happen when brilliant quality maxwell du preez is making also attack on afriforum? People saying oh shut up welsh mountain dwarf.this i think extremely hostile. Rubbish restaurant critic Mr. AA Gill once talking about welsh like: ‘the welsh are loquacious dissemblers, immoral liars, stunted, bigoted, dark, ugly, pugnacious little trolls’. Indeed is most violence of language and violent on maxwell du preez also. Because Welsh is in europe, he also european.
Some peoples saying he not actual good writer but like mid-level supply educator at diverse polytechnic in small europe country, maybe Lichtenstein. Has nice pension, rides bicycle, treats man who sells him left wing newspaper everyday (Jamal?) with good manner etc. Maybe he too good for South africa. Maybe should he should go protest against israel avocado in Holland supermarket.
Forgive distraction ha ha. Now back to great mrs. pandor. Oh yes i almost forget.at the time i go uct, mrs pandor become education high chancellor. Is very important points for gratitude. Such excellence in educating and effects are immediately felt.with her leadership i feel excellent communicator in writing and superior articulation skills, so, thanks mrs pandor.
Mrs pandor also make intriguing other point about afriforum university. She say university unacceptable because it conflicts with a ‘fundamentally different, endurable, progressive democracy’. Ah, this is fate for all. Doesn’t matter is not illegal, doesn’t matter is not unconstitutional – matters because it is fighting with us progressive.
Progressive very important you see, and bring the greatest wisdom. Much more important to be progressive than get, say, job. South african educational system design for creating progressive, not for enter jobbing.no jobs anyways. Better to go on empty stomach, is something many heroes of mrs pandor does, like Mr. Robert Sands from prestigious freedom fighting Irish Republican Army, than work extractive capitalism.
Progressive is most clever profile in world today. Take for one example recent interview with transgender person Q Manivannan who counselling for Scottish Green Party in Scottish Parliament and is on student visa from india (mmm curry). He…sorry…THEY say ‘rape is a spectrum’. Is brilliant. Everyone always saying england is rapey rapey blah blah blah but indian transgender is wise (sorry for earlier misgender, I make vomit now and forgive and forget).
When i studying uct and honorable mrs pandor in charge education lots of good progressive thing happen, sometimes violent but you can’t make the omelette without egg breaking etc.unfortunately afriforum university will not be progressive, not teaching subject worthy of european thinking. What afriforum propose teaching? Ibram Kendi? Not so. Critical race theory? Empty. The europe gay porn built? Never. Is excellent research paper by the way, production of Birmingham City University, maybe one day twin with uct.
Mrs pandor must enjoy substantial praise for commentaries.some people today saying that mrs pandor just jealous because afriforum is success and everything mrs pandor represents is ‘hyper-elitist’ or this ‘ultra-luxury beliefs’ – and she doesn’t even know. They say she builded no universities, even little communist man blade nzimande does better. Blade makes three ones, but not in african language medium.
But Progressive most important thing. Is up to all white people edumacated at uct under mrs pandor to stand for her and reject afrikaans university in name of endurance.”
Yours progressively…
