BLACK GAY AND LIVING IN AFRICA

“Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.”
- Letter to Makhaya Ntini on his 100th cricket test, 2009

 In France they asked me to stay and live, I answered, "I am Black, Gay and Living in Africa, why would I leave, I ain't no refugee, I have a responsibility to build on the legacy of Nelson Mandela. We did not have a Civil War but a Revolution that is an example to the world that we can do things differently in the 21st Century"

5 days later Madiba was proununced dead (  legendary man was on ice for 6 months). I  am glad they waited after I got back from Paris, the night after I screamed for Maxwell like a tween for Bieber.

“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” - Long Walk to Freedom 1995

Only snag was the African-American brother from the  US colonies I took to the concert was so critical of the venue, Maxwell ( he said he looked like AL B SURE and was OLD).Hayisuka! We've waited almost 20yrs to see Maxwell!!!  The poor fool, "Maxwele" couldn't believe we knew the words to his songs! Did nobody hear Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill back in the 1990's when they first came here? All they played during Apartheid was USA pop culture. For example, Only South Africa has the same Health Insurance scam called Medical Aid  as the USA in the whole world. This means Apartheid was clearly a colony of the Anglo-American empire.

So right now White peeps are glued to the Oscar Pissssssstorius trial.  Like he didn't shoot and kill her.  Its beyond any reasonable doubt he did it.  But the real clintcher the Chef d'Ovre is that no one has noticed the big fat elephant in the room. His alibi is that a Black Guy was coming to to rob him!!!  All R40 million worth of him in the country's most exclusive gated community with state of the art security, friends in the  local police, upteen thousand guns to make Charlton Heston moist and the "Swart Gevaar"the black boogey man is his alibi.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” 
- Long Walk to Freedom, 1995

So instead of admitting guilt apologising and doing the right and dignified thing, he's proven our President Jacob Zuma and the rest of the population right, MONEY = JUSTICE.  Funny thing though is that he is fucked whether he is in, or out. 

Don't worry the family is loaded in engineering and technology industries. Thats how he was able to get the protoype legs and redefine history for disabled children.  What!? Yes, the White Tribe of Africa the Afrikaaners are a resourceful bunch. Thats why we let them stay, until the Brits got too greedy and delayed the inevitable for almost a century.

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. … The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
- Long Walk to Freedom, 1995

There's a saying in Afrikaans (Created by Cape Town Slaves) "n Boer maak n plan" essentially it means our now very Mixed White Tribe always finds a way, resilient.  With No ancestral VISAS we adopted them long ago making us the laughing stock of the rest of black Africa.

African humanity, UBUNTU, is to make one family and Afrikaaners are our South African brothers and sisters. Now we are having the last laugh. 

We have the world's 2nd largest luxury group, Richemont, I am sure we still have Nuclear Weapons, because Dubya deferred too much to Mbeki and I live in Cape Town. Simon's Town the home of Africa's only proper Navy. It has always been a hive of construction.  Look, Two Afrikaans Gay Boys created GAYDAR (Facebook was like too late for the Horny Gays). Chris Banaard and the black brother who assisted him gave the world Open Heart Surgery. South African school kids are hooked on the indiginously created social networking platform MXIT. And where do you think Star Trek got its title?  

Besides having Beyonce, Rihanna and now even Janelle Monae jacking our urban street dance styles without even giving proper credit, I wanna know why Nigeria is taking over the United States!? I mean we know Nigeria is like the King of Kleptocracy, Nollywood hustle is simple. Before they even say cut, scream "CASH ME" 

The whole of South Africa has fallen in love with our populous brothers and sisters and their very distinct "IBO' accent. Its become the Lingua Franca for BUFFFOONERY. Its gone so deep the dance music superstars Mafikizolo have produced an album of West African infected beats singing in Arabic melodies in local languages Xhosa and Tswana. 

Nigeria is the No.1 economy, its about fucking time!! More business for us. No proper infrastructure in Africa except for South Africa. (No Civil War, GET IT OBAMA) our regime change was bloodless like Crimea ( #PutinBitchslap) sounds like Cry Me A River doesn't it? sung by Dinah Washington. 

Our banks are doing a roaring trade as we have become the facilitator of  how to enter Africa. We have trains made in 1946 running almost like clock work and people still complain!!
Apartheid Regime Buffoons before us, were too busy fighting Africans; for the USA in Angola, or  Zimbabwe or dragging us out of our beds and homes, to upgrade the train system. But its the new governments fault for miraculously keeping decrepit infrastructure made for the 5% work for the 100% plus African Diaspora. HIV/AIDS pandemic was ignored from the time it took over the world in the mid 1980's. Only after 1994 was anything done to deal with it. Funny how Apartheid's strategic evil neglect of HIV/Aids was blamed on Mbeki's search for the truth. Responsible and intelligent leadership researches a problem before finding the right way to act. The circumstances of our South Africa are unique, unprecedented and trailblazing.

We are the only emerging market economy that constantly takes honest statistics and a regular thorough Census. So no wonder we top the Crime lists etc. The numbers are stacked up against us but at least we know what we are dealing with. Nigeria still doesn't know how many people they have but want us to drop the Visas.! Goodluck with that.

 Go ask the African-American brothers how they got outplayed outwitted and left dumbfounded and perplexed to find that Kerry Washington was married to a guy they had never seen her together with. BOOOM! Nigeria is the King of the Hustle. 

Only thing is why President Goodluck Jonothan felt the need to go hating on the gays OFFICIALLY. I mean between the American Evangelical South and the Sharia Law North, DL is not even low enough to stay alive. Don't matter Cape Town's German tourist quota is trippling because EVERYBODY loves BIG BLACK COCK and West Africa is richly endowed. South African men are feeling the pressure. The Ugandans are flowing in after the cowboy lapdog of Western and Eastern Corporations, Museveni let it become a life sentence  for what not even Nelson Mandela would put asunder.
Puts Putin's Propaganda Law in perspective and highlights the hypocracy and the double standards applied. Homosexuality is still outlawed in several US states whose Evangelical Church's propagated and indoctrinated Uganda's homophobia.

“We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness. We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know. We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders. All are welcome: black, white, red, yellow, rich, poor, educated, not educated, male, female, gay, straight, all, all, all. We all belong to this family, this human family, God's family.”  ARCHBISHOP TUTU

Some MP's in Kenya had the sensitivity to say, "Homosexuality is just as serious a threat as Terrorism" really !? I prefer a bit of Shopping and Fucking over Shopping and Losing a limb any day.

Starting to hear the sound of Sexual Envy from the straight men who don't have Grinder and their last resort is a strip club. For the men fucking men its a sure bet you'll find Cape Town's HOT HOUSE jammed at 4am with drunken and drugged up IDIOTS, guarenteed a lay. Possibly the sauna with the best view in the world looking over 180degree view of Table Mountain the City Bowl and the harbour, directly infront of a Catholic Church. 

Fondly called the Mother City, (Whose Fucking Mother), Cape Town is Rio Gorgeous with the gentrification of St Tropez and the attitude. We know what you come hear for! International Celebrities adore it because Capetonians are too cool to notice famous people. No Joke. Princess Diana came regularly to visit her brother I boogied with Prince William and Harry for years at Rhodes House. 

Actually Cape Town is the ideal destination for the rich German speaking nations, Austria, Switzerland, Lichenstein, Luxembourg and Norway. Most regular European gays head to Argentina or South East Asia. Oh yes and over New Years the Aussie Bum cum all buffed and gaggle of bottoms. Lord they don't beat my gorgeous brown eyed Italian who let me keep my heels on while he got rogered. A 5 year fuck buddy takes dedication.  Which meant dropping everything at a moments notice for pure ROMAN HEDONISM. Buffone D Mergde was my badge of honour, he only had lust for ODIDIVA.

The Black Emancipated White Gays hate that!! Its almost like they carry the torch of racial bigotry for the ghosts of Verwoerd and fortunately named BJ Vorster of the Apartheid era. Unless you are an Odidiva, Cape Town is imagined as  Africa's White Gay Capital. As Helen Zille, affectionately called GodZILLE of the Democratic Alliance (official opposition) is the Premier of the Western Cape province.  The only one not ruled by the African National Congress.

But Helen Zille has learnt to speak fluent Xhosa, attracted a sizeable black following especially amongst those missing the effeciency and G8 slaying diplomacy of Thabo Mbeki.  The gays of all races work for the DA and yet for the last 3 years the Cape Town Pride no longer goes through the centre of the city and has been reduced to a 200m sprint.

Cape Town's 'Coloured" Middle Class is officially the most lucrative and fastest growing in the country. Yet political power is willingly deferred to the White minority.

South Africa's Second largest city and 2nd economic hub cannot be Marbella for  World's Wealthy 2% percent to dump their unruly trust fund kids or retire to a  picturesque Muslim majority suburb and then complain about the Mosque's call to prayer.

Grandson of Wilbur Smith doing tik in Cape

28 August | 07:34

By Helen Bamford

The grandson of best-selling novelist Wilbur Smith is living at Cape Town's notorious city drug-den Senator Park, where he has been introduced to tik, the Western Cape's drug of choice. Sinclair Smith, 19 - who recently arrived in Cape Town from Paris, where he had been living with his mother - has been injecting the drug into his veins. He says he enjoys the dingy city block, describing it as filled with "rich, intelligent and interesting people". NGOs dealing with young people say Sinclair is but one of many young Capetonians from extremely affluent families who are addicted. The 21-year-old daughter of a Camps Bay businessman recently landed up in Pollsmoor Prison due to drugs. Meanwhile, two university graduates are living in their car because they have used all their money to buy tik. Sinclair is very open about his drug habit, saying he has used heroin since the age of 14, paying for it by stealing iPods, cellphones and laptops. He says he hasn't resorted to theft in the Mother City. "But tik is the worst. I've sold all my clothes to buy tik in Cape Town," he says. Sinclair is the son of Plettenberg Bay businessman Shaun Smith, whose mother was Wilbur Smith's second wife, Anne. Sinclair also wants to be a writer, and says he would like to tell his story in a book like Shantaram, written by Gregory David Roberts, a convicted Australian bank robber and drug addict who fled to India after escaping from prison. He has spent more than five weeks in Senator Park, in Keerom Street, near the Cape High Court. Last year, a University of Cape Town student was kidnapped and held in the block, and three years ago, a man was pushed out of a sixth-floor window and died. Two weeks ago, in a police raid, a 19-year-old jumped out of a window and was taken to hospitalis. Sinclair says he enjoys Cape Town, where the drugs are cheaper, easier to access and far more potent than in France. He spoke to the Saturday Star from the MyLife offices in the city centre, where founder Linzi Thomas is trying to help him. Thomas says: "People think it's just kids on the street and from poorer communities who are doing drugs, but more and more children from affluent families are addicted to tik." Gang members are getting the rich kids hooked, she says. Many young people appeared to have a philosophy of "live fast, die young". "Parents feel shame, but they don't realise that so many others are in the same situation, and unless there is more honesty about what is going on, the situation won't improve." Sinclair's father Shaun says his son's drug use is very upsetting. His son comes from a loving family, and he has done the best he can for him. "But it's his choice. He's not a child. When I was 19 I was in the army." Smith says his son first started smoking hashish at school and then progressed to harder drugs. "Sinclair had a great future ahead of him. He was going to film school in France. Now I don't know." Chris Missing, director of the United Christians Against Narcotics (U-can), who has assisted hundreds of addicts over a period of 10 years, says the drug scene is getting worse. He says he plans to get Sinclair into rehab, but the problem of addiction is out of control. "Something is failing dismally, and the government is not listening to NGOs."

Cape Town in addition to a significant and influential Muslim community with ties to South East Asia from the 

slave trade, is the spiritual home of the mainly Lithuanian Jewish population. The influence of the Jewish community is best described by this anomaly. Cape Town's Central Business district officially closes earlier on Fridays 15h30 without question. The traditionally Jewish Sea Point is overwhelmed during Ramadaan and Eid by the Old Testament brethren with no hassles.

The Gay Village, De Waterkant Village, a more cheerfully coloured twin of Darlinghurst in Sydney, has a Black/ Coloured Club, a Mostly Male White club, A Lesbian Club,  a Men's Bar with porn studio an S&M Bar. The bar I made famous by being the 1st Live Singing Drag Performance Artist with politically and internatinally well observed humour and hilerious shade. The finally got a young black muscle mary after some years. Transformation takes time but its also a matter of choosing to be the change Mandela inspired us to do. And not fighting it until it screams at you. 

Nothing kills the soul more than people praising Madiba for his forgiveness while refusing to do the reconciliation required. Mixing the races is an unsaid social taboo in the Gay Village only those Fabulous and Model C schooled people are welcomed into the big white club. I have spent hours trying to find my Hippy Gay Boy in a see of Carte Blanche. Where's Wally? Fuck that!!! Besmillah is calling me to see her new mix of Somalian Organic served like Washing Powder , scooper included of coarse.

Then again the music policy of the club is no different than what one can hear in Sydney's Oxford Street, Paris's Marais District or London's Old Compton. A little variety could go along way to inviting some diversity. South Africa's house music is taking over the world but not in this club.

The black club is so tiny but some how manages to have the biggest stage for Drag Queens of colour. The music is everything from South African House to RnB and African Pop. The demographic is almost the direct opposite of the other. My Hippy Gay Boy doesn't even dare wanna go there.

Venturing the streets is a like being on parade with Cattle calls, Wolf Whistles, accompanied by "Hey Gurrl" but now we even have the Gay drag Queen Bergies(Street People) who are the inspiration for me creating Bushwaacking. These girls will Scale you OUT if you are no wear near as fierce  as ODIDIVA.
I am now sporting a Born In The Hood BABITH for short Cape Town cape with my gucci bag, bring some Ruffneck swag to the Naomi Campbell Grace Jones stride. The wigs are a gonna as I imbrace my inner Strange and May Day and cut up my own fiece 80's inspired cuts with lines going my way.

Die Antwoord's Waddy Jones has been floating around looking sheepish after his terrible Faux Pas on the latest South African Blockbuster. I don't care "BITCH YOU MAKE A NINJA WANNA FUCK BITCH" is better the Snoop's Drop It like its ....WHAT?  Body Language by Gordon Brown feat Machachiano is the epitomy of Nigeria's ascension celebrated by ALL AFRICA, thanks for giving us our own fashion Bible ARISE and we are. 

As I told the my beloved friends in Paris, "I am going home because we are creating a new world order, my people need me I AM BLACK GAY AND LIVING IN AFRICA"

Looking out for BUSHWAACKING Africa's urban fight against MYSOGNY=HOMOPHOBIA
