Professor Sam Raditlhalo rebuts Mr. Sduduzo Mncwabe’s review of his previous piece on Zulu ethnic nationalism. Both differ on the analysis of events between the Shell House Massacre and the July 2021 unrest in how they explain the persistent violence in South Africa.
Thus, while the late 1980s and early 1990s were marked by State-sponsored killings of the tribalistic IFP’s purported enemies, to suggest that ethnic nationalism of AmaZulu is the contemporary cause of violence in South Africa requires a counterargument.

Our painful past has artificially united us into thinking that we could be the same, we also believe that there could universal solutions that could be panacea to all our problems, including underdevelopment and other challenges.
In the movie Philadelphia, Tom Hanks asks Denzel Washington, “What do you call a thousand lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean?” A dismayed Washington offers no answer. Hanks answers his own question by saying “a good start.” Many people feel this way about politicians, partly because of the ways in which duplicity […]
My position is that philosophy, unlike political ideologies, is open to new thoughts and is a process rather than a finality. I see philosophy as a discipline which re-examines itself and self-corrects in order to find meaning as we journey through life. Dialogue situates the role of philosophy to be a unifier of different civilizations while we embrace thinking differently—together.
