		<description>The HotcHarcoAL poets back!

I wrap my soul around all women across Africa
I am the perfect Knight for these hot African Queens
The ideal King of their mansion hearts... See More
i secure a permanent roof over their huts
am the perfect tear-wiper &amp; soul comforter
armed with poetry, i talk them to sweet sleep
i exist for and with them, hand in hand, we never slip
make no mistake
I am not here to campaign or complain
and i certainly am not holier than thou
but this &quot;sick-shit&quot; on our women need a FULL STOP!
a naked thigh is not an excuse to rape

you see...
thats where the problem is
&quot;the man&quot; hiding between the legs is quick to act
a naked thigh can be provocative, it is a fact
but it does&#039;nt warrant &quot;the man&quot; to claim ownership
a NO uttered or whispered remains a NO!

What sick world are we leaving for generations to come?
What sick world is the war on women from we men?
The same world where the Rapist is celebrated
The same world where the other name for women is whores

This certainly cannot be my world
I reject and spit on that world
My world is a world where the &quot;the big&#039; &amp; &quot;the small&quot; can coexist
My world is a world where a woman is given the uppermost respect, i insist
For she is the Life-giver &amp; the First teacher!
My world is a world where no one is everything, where all matters
My world is a world where SEX is liberating not incarcerating!

wOrd is Born!</description>

		<description>I am shocked that people today can even begin to justify this holific act. I am an african man and I know that I have been tought from childhood to respect women and value sex. Being an african or South African is not an excuse to rape someone. The big question is, WHAT WOULD YOU DO OF HOW WILL YOU FEEL IS WHAT HAPPENED TO FEZEKILE DID HAPPEN TO YOUR OWN DAUGHTER, SISTER, AUNT OR INDEED YOUR MOTHER? If you are honest in the way you answe the above question, then you would know how the poor Fezekile felt</description>

		<description>ntsiki - I still say the &#039;perpetrator&#039; - as you call him - was guilty, even though the requisite barrier &quot;proof beyond reasonable doubt&quot; was not cleared.  At least, on a balance of probabilities, there must have been doubt about the veracity of the perpetrator&#039;s version of events that he gave in response of the prosecution&#039;s version after the court refused to discharge him outright. (Here, one should remember, he shrewdly kept his options open until he had the full picture - and it was only after the DNA results became available and were divulged, that he said he whole thing happened with the complainant/victim&#039;s consent.)</description>

		<description>ntsiki, are you seriously suggesting every woman that fails to clear the &quot;above reasonable doubt&quot; barrier in a rape claim, must be punished?

The judge made no finding that she was a pathological liar. That was not proven in any sense. You can read the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tlac.org.za/images/documents/6422.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Zuma rape case judgment&lt;/a&gt; for yourself, as a PDF online.

I don&#039;t hear any comments from you on how the crowds treated her at court. How she feared for her safety?</description>

		<description>interesting reading, very amusing and touching. But then again the aurthor of this well penned verse is a pathological liar (proven in court by the experts). This lady lady has brought shame to us ladies, the justice system should have punished her for creating such lies, i mean the perpetrator would have been punished if found guilt.</description>

		<description>I had your comments about your blog in mind when I was writing.  You wrote, “It was born out of a need to try and make sense of political and social upheaval in South Africa: The unraveling of a dream, the fading of the rainbow nation….This blog mainly covers current South African social &amp; political events….”

The discussion around this post developed when comments were made such as, “That’s Africa man, the quicker we can accept and work within that the better” and “Culture and habits can change. Docile acceptance won’t hasten this process.”

Do you think that I’m trying to insult people?  You have completely misread me.  I won’t trouble you any further.  I have copies of my comments, thanks.  I would be grateful if you could delete all my comments though.

Good luck with everything.</description>

		<description>Hi FishEagle

I did not remove your and the other comments lightly. 

I would like for this blog to be a platform for well argued and informed *on topic* debate. 

If comments are not these things, it discourages further quality debate by other people on the topic at hand. Every comment sets the tone for the one that follows.

There are many South African blogs where slanging matches are de rigeur.
 
I have had *far* more objectionable posts on my blog, but they were on topic and well argued. I won&#039;t censor ideas lightly. 

Having said that - I know it takes time to write comments and I did not delete yours, but put them on hold. If you really think you want them to appear below *this* post, I&#039;ll switch them back on. 

Alternatively if you want to use them somewhere else, I will email them to you.

So let me know. It&#039;s your call.</description>

		<description>Our discussion has been a good analogy of the situation in South Africa.  I am comparing myself, and my gentler emotional composition, to the black race.  You represent the well informed and intelligent white race. I have come to your site and given you new insights.  However, you have not returned the gesture and you have deleted most of my comments.

Let’s hope the black race will continue to seek dialogue with the white race, which may provide many of the solutions to their problems.</description>

		<description>Hi Lilliput, your name suggested that you had a very clear understanding of cognitive dissonance.  Hmmm.  Shame on you!  Haha.

A great site that can improve your understanding about sexual assault is at http://www.pandys.org/.  It takes about a day to register and then you have to post 5 comments before you are allowed into the main area.  It’s just a mechanism to get rid of the scum that prowl on the internet.  You don’t have to be a survivor; you can register as a “supporter.”

I also suffered from severe “African fatigue” so I made it a point to understand what I was experiencing in South Africa.   A democracy has a place in SA and the world now, but I don’t think it is our end destination. If you understand the end destination it is easier to get through the bumbles of today (by the way, throwing money at Africa was just completely wrong!)

If I may take the liberty of posting comments that I made about this “end destination” on another site, which will also clarify some of my previous comments on this site:  

(the first bit of mumbo jumbo just introduces the crux of the discussion, which is at the end)

“…….Our society went through a process when women obtained the right to vote and that process has left many men and women with deep scars.  Whether it was worth it, it is still too soon to say……….

I&#039;m beginning to feel pretty strongly about creating voting credits for people…  
People that are knowledgeable about history, politics, legislation and finances should be rewarded with more voting credits.  That way everybody has opportunity but it is not equal opportunity.  People that don&#039;t vote should lose credits in the next election.

Hypothetically speaking, a woman that does not deserve to be rewarded with voting credits, in the evaluation process, must be penalized.  Just like people of ALL races.  But as a woman I should value such a choice, deciding whether I would like to spend my time on my family or doing something else, like becoming informed with politics.  Whichever way I could have decided, I can assure you I would have still given 100%.

A ruler e.g. president or emperor, has qualities of race, sex, wealth, intelligence, etc. that reflect the population.  These qualities have been communicated amongst the population by word of mouth, images and text.  The communication process will evolve further to the use of numeric values.  Presently we are still struggling with the “counting” or assigning of values.  Communism, Marxism and the democracy are political movements that are equalizing populations and effectively assigning a value of zero to the ruler’s qualities.  They have a common goal and will be clearing the playing fields before the new game of numeric values begin.  

Now it makes sense why we have such poor leaders.  But that should change again.”</description>
