Xhosa Vs Zulu
Xhosa Vs Zulu
So briefly we all now know what and who the Xhosa and Zulu people are. To briefly say, they are two of South Arica's largest ethnic group.
This is a talk of power and a talk of secret hatred.
When Dutch settlers came to South Africa, without a doubt almost all the African ethnic group went into war straight. As we know a few wars were won and a few wars were lost. Fast forward to when the British came to South Africa. Now the British knew how to colonized (the dutch can learn a thing or two). So later on the British concord and made the Zulus and Xhosa bow. Yep the most ignorant tribe in Africa (Zulu) bowed.
Xhosa leaders didn't of cause want to bow and surrender. Readers; if you were a leader of a tribe and you fought Dutch, Portuguese, Germans and now faced with English! Your army must have reduced by the thousand (or even millions).
It was almost as if the British were waiting for the African tribes to of been exhausted and then they'd attack. Seem so that strategy worked.
Xhosa leaders called it quiets and surrendered. They thought if they can't defeat them from out then they'll try within. Xhosa individuals in South Africa are very laid back and preserved people (for example Nelson Mandela).
Zulu were more taken. Zulu people would die before surrendering so British had its own colonization plan for the Zulu's alone.
During Apartheid the apartheid government had made a law for black people to live in one distinct places. For many reasons like Soweto. Soweto was built to be a bombing township. So if the monkeys get wild in lets say Extension 5 they bomb or attack section Extension 5. This applied to Mamelodi and many black townships. Townships have location names within that no one new (D5, D1, SECTION R). I wonder why not a lot of black people noticed that.
Though no one noticed, that despite the fact all the monkeys of different tribes were thrown in one cage (township) they end up separating. Spedis had their section, Zulu's theirs and Vendas there's.
A lot of white people that look at black people they practically see the same thing: a black man. Try bringing a Black Zulu man next to a black Ndebele, they would look at each other and feel so different. Generally that's because they are different.
Same thing with the British and French. I see two of the same people that took my land, but a white man see's difference that he can list from the moon and back.
We all know power. How beautiful it is. This is what happened. there was always a large percentage of Zulus and Xhosa. They are the majority of South Africa. You don't have to be a rocket science to see that.
So with the sake of power, there will be conflict. The large majority of taxi drivers are Xhosa or Zulu, so there would be fights on who gets what route to pick people up. (Power)
Though my readers, I want to pin something you never noticed. Why did South African black people fight when aparthid was about to be over? Yes the ANC and Inkatha war.
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) is a political party in South Africa. Since its founding, it has been led by Mangosuthu Buthelezi. It was founded in 1975.
The African National Congress (ANC) is the Republic of South Africa's governing social democratic political party. It was founded in 1912.
Those two parties were the cause of the massacres that took place in South Africa a long way back.
Between 1985 and 1990, political violence was a common occurrence in South Africa, with Black townships most affected. The violence took place under the State of Emergency, which was declared in 1985 by President PW Botha, and was extended for another two years in 1987. Most violent action was directed at the apartheid government, but soon spread between residents of townships in Johannesburg along factional lines. Conflict broke out between supporters of the African National Congress (ANC) and Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and resulted in the death of at least 150 people on 15 August 1990.
A third force was blamed for the violence as it was later discovered that the apartheid government's support for either side had drastically escalated tensions between the ANC and IFP. Despite intermittent fighting between the two factions, the State of Emergency was lifted in 1990, and by the time the first democratic elections had taken place in 1994, relative calm had been restored to areas of conflict.

Basically this was ANC followers vs Inkatha follwers.
* When I was in high school. I would remember the divide. We were a black school but there was a divide. The Zulu boys hang out there, the Spedi boys hanged out there. There were some students that knew both languages and acted like they were both, but generally there was a huge divide. That right there was when I saw i ain't the same as all my monkey brother.
My mother is spedi and i feel more pedi at heart, and at school I hanged out with the students who spoke pedi, cause I generally feel flexable with them. So even I am a victim of this dividing country
If you spoke Venda and acted Venda the Venda's felt safe with you, but if not they are threatened and mark their tertiary. Whether you were black or white. See what I mean?
A lot of people have different ideas and perception to what happened. But the real reason what started the violence was probably a Zulu and Xhosa fight.
During the 1900s was practically filled Xhosa's (or had a image of the Xhosa kingdom). The Inkatha was over filled with Zulu's.
This ANC and Inkatha fight could be a fight for power. This fight could be a potential war in the new South Africa.
Why do i say potential war? Well the fight is overly Xhosa versus Zulu. No one just fights and kills each other just because they have a different political idea. This situation is much deeper and intimate. I don't know if you heard that history with Rwanda.
Rwanda is a country in South Africa. They have two big majority tribe, and one tribe was just basically dominate. This caused the other tribe to immigrate to neighboring country simply because the government favored the majority tribe (because the government was the that dominate tribe), causing tension within the country. Few years later the other tribe came back and caused a huge mass of death to the other tribe. They killed so much that even the UN had to be involved.
This could happen in the future if we not careful. It happened once, but I'm talking bigger. This could be totally bigger and harmful.
Alot of people also suggest that IFP was funded and working under white rule. That Inkatha was just a face, but the real people in control was the whites. You see, the whites are clever. They saw the most powerful tribe in South African histroy and used them in their advantage. That is why I tell people, aparthied government were some intelligent people.
I share this message cause there is a potential problem South Africa can have. This tribe division could be. We could be too blind to see in. I mean think. Now that ANC is Zulu party now why has the IFP and ANC violence stopped?
There is much more to this ANC and IFP violence that meets the eye.
Reports:
- https://newrepublic.com/article/120502/violence-south-africa-after-end-apartheid : It is around midnight, Easter Sunday. In the emergency room of Soweto's Baragwanath Hospital "casualties" have been mounting for hours. One after another, bleeding young black men and women from the township are wheeled in, unconscious from their injuries and their drinking. Most of the victims have ugly stab wounds in the back or neck. There's one youth with the telltale slice of a panga—the machetelike knife Zulus carry as a "cultural weapon"—across the crown of his head. Many of tonight's victims exhibit scars from previous trauma. Doctors call the ward "the pit." An American friend of mine who lives in Johannesburg calls it "an assembly line." Neither quite captures the sickening, yet businesslike, atmosphere in the only public emergency room serving Soweto's more than 3 million citizens

This is not just a Xhosa and Zulu war warning. But a warning of SA's 11 tribe warning.
