“The colonial name South Africa cannot carry the full memory, pain, struggle, and destiny of the indigenous people.”

He argued that liberated people of South Africa must name themselves if dignity is to be restored.

It's kind of sad how childish they are in their views - totally missing the point that strong, proud people would define themselves and hold their heads high without the need for some external thing to happen. Just another politician unable to focus on growth, still stuck on seeding conflict.

Eish, the dignity, it will make food and ease our suffering. Viva!

think tank?,... bwhahaha, just another group of plonkers who talk nonsense and divide the country even further.

More like crossed KFC drumsticks with a pie in the sky background.

Him and the so called think tank can **** off and die.

Lol...

Vuka Azania is a decolonial think tank launched in South Africa on Saturday, 25 July 2026, at an event in Sandton.

no wonder Trump uses this country as a Punchline

I honestly do not think that there is any broad support for this. Most of the political groups promoting this were either absorbed into other bigger parties or have remained tiny and irrelevant over the last 30 years.
