The FORGOTTEN Sacrifice Africa made to save South Africa (PODCAST BONUS)
The data that most history books have forgotten reveals the actual sacrifices made by various African nations in the fight against Apartheid
Paid subscriber podcast deep dive · Night Watch #23 episode companion
Alkebulanians,
There is a reason they hid the actual data from history books on what African nations did to save South Africa from Apartheid. I told you about Nigeria but the full scope of this was beyond what I could have imagined in terms of continent wide sacrifice.
The June 30 deadline came and went.
Anti-migrant groups had set that date for undocumented Africans to leave South Africa, and by mid-July the country’s own Home Affairs minister, Mmamoloko Kubayi, confirmed the result: 53,449 people processed for deportation or repatriation since mid-June, more than 80% of them Malawians.
Malawi alone repatriated 38,094 of its citizens in a single month, on more than 570 buses. Six died on the road home.
On the podcast, I asked who profits when Africans kill Africans.
This is the piece the podcast couldn’t fit: the historical ledger.
I already talked about Nigeria who paid by far the highest sum to free South Africa to the tune of 100 BILLION dollars.
However, there were other nations that made sacrifices and countries whose citizens are now being loaded onto buses, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, also sit on the paying side of the most one-sided debt in modern African history.
They financed, sheltered, and bled for South Africa’s liberation.
Here is what that actually cost them, line by line. Some of this is absolutley astonishing and the fact this isn’t taught in African schools is sad.
