Mkweli Family, let’s talk about this photo.

Today, March and March leadership (including Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma) stood side-by-side with AfriForum executives under the AfriForum logo and announced a “collaborative working group.”

They say it’s about community upliftment, rule of law, education, and fighting crime — including illegal immigration.

From a Pan-African perspective, this is a deeply concerning moment.

AfriForum exists primarily to defend the interests of a minority community that still holds disproportionate economic power rooted in the colonial and apartheid past. March and March was born out of Black South African frustration with undocumented migration and state failure. Yet here they are, smiling together, forming a working relationship.

Pan-Africanism teaches us that the destiny of African people is tied together — from the Cape to Cairo. Turning fellow Africans (many of whom are also victims of the same neo-colonial economic order, war, and climate crisis) into the primary enemy while linking arms with an organisation that has long opposed land justice, affirmative action, and structural transformation is not strategy. It is short-sighted.

Xenophobia dressed up as “patriotism” has never liberated any African nation. Neither has allying with forces that historically benefited from our dispossession.

South Africa’s real crises — unemployment, inequality, collapsing services, and crime — will not be solved by this kind of arrangement. They will be solved when African people organise for economic sovereignty, continental integration, and genuine justice — not when we outsource our advocacy models to those who have a fundamentally different historical project.

We can and must protect our borders and demand competent governance. But we cannot do it by abandoning the principle of African solidarity.

The struggle is still for the total liberation and unity of African people. Not for selective alliances that paper over history.

What do you think, family? Is this unity… or is this something else?

Ghana said it in 1957: independence is tied to Africa's liberation. In 2026, Accra is saying liberation isn't complete without reparatory justice. Do you agree the two are linked?"
