If there's one name I heard a lot growing up was "Mangosuthu Buthelezi" alongside the mention of his political party, the "Inkatha Freedom Party - IFP" and it definetly has to do with the fact that I grew up in KZN. But what intrigued me about him was how he was of (Zulu) royal descent (a Prince) but also became a politician and dedicated his life to fighting for freedom & injustices - and also how he was able to carry out his royal duties to his kingdom as well as serve those outside of his kingdom as a leader (in general)... that's when you know that fighting for social justice really requires no class-classifications! And that everyone must play their role in their own rights. Maybe one day we'll get a chance to sit down and have conversations with the elders as to how they overcame such dark times and learn multitudes from them. "Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi is the great-grandson of King Dinizulu and direct descendent of warrior-King Shaka Throughout most of the apartheid era, Buthelezi was considered one of the foremost black leaders. He played a key role in creating a framework for a negotiated solution to South Africa's racial conflict, signing the landmark Mahlabatini Declaration of Faith in 1974 with Harry Schwarz. During the CODESA negotiations of the early 1990s, he represented the IFP. Buthelezi led the IFP to join the government of national unity, led by Nelson Mandela and served as Minister of Home Affairs until 2004" . . . #mangosuthubuthelezi #southafrica #nmal2019 #nelsonmandelaannuallecture #apartheid #codesa #history #southafrica #africa #kingdom #unity #africa

Juhoafrická republika je koronavírusom najviac postihnutou krajinou afrického kontinentu a eviduje súčasne aj piaty najvyšší počet nakazených na svete - ide o viac ako 559 800 potvrdených prípadov. Chorobe spôsobenej novým koronavírusom v JAR od vypuknutia epidémie podľahlo viac ako 10 400 ľudí.

Buthelezi, ktorý koncom augusta oslávi 92. narodeniny, bol jedným z najdlhšie pôsobiacich politikov v Južnej Afrike, pričom vo vláde zastával funkciu ministra vnútra.

IFP založil v roku 1975. Táto strana, ktorá sa hlási najmä k etniku Zulu, bojovala o moc v JAR s Africkým národným kongresom (ANC) vedeným Nelsonom Mandelom, pričom často aj násilnými metódami.

V Brazílii za jediný deň pribudlo 23-tisíc nakazených, skutočné číslo môže byť oveľa horšie
