Dear Editor.
- Pure African Name
- Pure African Fame
US President Barack Obama’s visit to Africa and his open display of blackness is a slap in the face on Zimbabwe’s coloureds who think they are better human beings.
Obama who has never called himself “a coloured” but prides himself as black, a man of colour, power, was heard before everyone speaking in fluent (Shona variant) Swahili language. Surely the Kenyans are besmirched to have such a leader of Kenyan blood who identifies as one of their own.
One important thing to note is that Obama made it to the US Presidency carrying a pure African name that goes with the traditions of his black forefathers. He obtained favour with America’s millions while carrying his pure traditional name: Barack Hussein Obama when they would ordinarily oppose such a person. In the same vein Zimbabwe’s coloureds will not make it anywhere in the world, until they revisit their origins and extract favour from there.

This is the truth. I see a lot of coloureds that celebrate and embrace their white heritage over their black heritage. Coloureds get very happy when they are associating with whites or Indians (I see it in Bulawayo) Coloureds will tell you all about their “British” or “Scotish” side. One question. WHY DOESN’T YOUR WHITE SIDE CLAIM YOU AS ONE OF IT’S CHILDREN? Blacks are excelling, making money, building companies, winning international awards, getting Masters and PHDs etc. While the coloured romantisizes about his non existent social status.
Stupid article is all I can say
Firstly comrade, let me correct a few of your inaccuracies whilst I leave the personal attacks alone. It seems to be what you are skilled at. I was raised to be courteous and to stick to the facts. Here they are…
You seem unaware that in the early thirtees and forties, thousands of coloured career artisans from the Western and Eastern Cape were taken to the then Southern Rhodesia to build, shopfit and indulge in all manner of technical work. Many from the Northern Cape were Nama, San, Damara and Ghorinkaichona, like the folks who still live in the Northern Cape today. Last names like Jampies, Botha etc still abound in places like Arcadia in Harare etc. Those tribes are Khoisan, a collective term like Bantu is for Nguni people.That area even has streets named after these folks like Jampies st etc. I expected u would know that. That group was later renamed coloureds. Their children and grand children are still classified as such today The same applies to those from the Western Cape who were from the Attakwa and other tribes. They also remained there after seeing what a lovely place Zimbabwe was. Many others who were mixed from indigenous and white were then later also added to this group. To prove my point, the areas of Ardbennie, was for black/coloured mixes, the area of Arcadia and Sunningdale for coloured/coloured mixes and Southerton for black/white mixes, all these called Coloureds.
Secondly, the present day Cape coloured group also had mixed race add ins from Dutch/black but even more from Malaysians brought here a slaves. Add captured St Helenians, exiled Angolans, non returning Ethiopian and Somali soldiers from WW2, al were added to the Cape Mix oof what is now called Coloured.
Hope that assists you in understanding and that you will now go and re-learn your history. BTW, maternally, Im off Attakwa stock and know my history. Go check yours.
Revisionist!!! Your version of history is very very strange and quite similar to the history taught in SA. They claim that all blacks migrated from East Africa and hence cannot claim land in Southern Africa!!! Now you have decided to take this revisionism by claiming that the Khoisan are the ancestors of the coloureds in Zimbabwe same as the coloureds in Cape Town. If that is true why are they different??? The ones in Cape Town carry the unique features of their Khoisan parentage; short legs and hips etc.
Your version of history is laughable comrade!!!

On the Gadaffi issue we can agree.
Its an observations which I am glad you concur with. It is not subjective at all. I have been to Mtshintsha in Tsholotsho where there is the San tribe. I was at college with a chap from Kuruman in Kimberly we became good friends, through my association with his family I met a lot of people from his tribe and i attended Khoi San funerals and weddings they are an absolutely amazing tribe. I am delighted that you are proud of your heritage. It is a rich heritage. Myself I am a bantu. We are also a nomadic tribe stretching far out to East Africa but there has been intermarriages along the way. One can only say” I am proud to be African”. Perhaps Gaddafi was a visionary when he advocated for a United States of Africa.
Number one I am half Khoisan on my maternal side. I have a few cents as you put it and am proud of my Attakwa roots, going home to our area Xiarra very often. I am also half Lemba-Karanga and likewise visit my paternal ancestral homes in both Venda and Gutu. And most coloureds always go kumusha or ezilaleni when the chance arrives. The behaviour you have mentioned does not only affect them but even the snottinsh model c school types who pretend to be Americans in Zimbabwe. Your point is nothing but a personal subjective analysis. So dont brush ALL coloureds the same just like I wont brush all nasal fake US accent Zezurus as the same.
I am not the author of the article. Nowhere in my commentary have I mentioned Obama. I simply highlighted historical facts. Contrary to what you aluded to most coloureds do not want to be associated with the Khoisan (Khoi San) tribe. The late Benny Alexendar the former president of Pan African Congress in South Africa was the first colured man to publicly declare himself as Khoisan X most coloureds from deprived areas in Southern Africa identify themselves as Khoi San people hence the nickname Bushmen (Busumani) Gambo the trouble is once the coloureds get a bit of education get middle income jobs relocate to better surbubs then they do not even want to hear about Khoi San nonsense they will be wanting to associated with their Eurocentic roots if you want to know what I am saying call a coloured Khoi Khoi then you will know what I am talking about. The coloureds on their own are polarised. My distaste is not on racial grounds but simply highlightIing that most of them are turn coats when they have little change jingling in their pockets then they begin to feel Scotish but if they are down there they want to be Africans. That is my argument.
Then speak like you do know it. Your initial post was about Obama supposedly showing Zim coloureds something or other now you are switching to who had privileges under colonial rule. Can you like rest it as many tribes enjoyed preferance over others in the divide and rule tricks of the colonisers. I dont care how annoying I am getting, and I am not pacifying anybody. Fact is nobody is blameless and nobody is a saint. Now rather use your energy to build Zimbabwe and all her people.Thats would be much wiser. Your hatred for coloureds is making you blind.
Gambo I was replying Guest not you. Look at my reply again you will see that it is addressed to Guest, Perhaps you are also called guest……You are beginning to be annoying. Frankly I do not care if you chose to pacify the coloureds it is your choice….I am simply stating the fact that coloureds and Indians had more privileges than blacks during colonial era. I am privy to the Khoisan history so do not waste your time preaching to the choir.
First of all I detest alcohol. Secondly I do not visit shebeens or any establishment that shrinks working brain cells. You seem to be a regular there, crying I am insulting you when I simply show the nonsensical rantings of what must have once been a working brain. Let me school you quickly….
Many of Zimbabwes “coloureds” are from Khoisan lineage, their forebears left their prints in the various rock paintings at Epworth etc. These people populated and lived there long before Bantu and Nguni migration south or north into the said area. In modern times a large portion of them moved there in the thirtees and forties from the Cape to help build the infrustructure that is now in quite a state. So if it is accepted that some, not all, are descendents of the Khoi, a land claim is surely stronger from these descendents who the British called “coloured” than it would be from the much later arriving Central African bantu. Now I know you were fed ruling party propoganda as general history, picking up the history of the place from your forebears arrival but it actually stretches further back.
So in 2015, Zimbabwe needs a unified nation, utilising the skills reservoir of all its people. Otherwise lets also condemn the Muzorewas and Chiraus, members of the majority tribe who also engaged the settler regime. Let’s talk about Zezuru domination beset with the infantile arrogance you spout when yr track record of ruling a much smaller land than SA is nothing t scream pride about. Remember how u stormed farms killing the people who feed you, now u are storming SA’s borders looking for food. Point is, everyone has indulged in some form of anti-social behaviour or another. No one is perfect. Obama did not once mention Zimbabwe, coloureds, etc in his speech. Those are your inferences which u postulate as scientific fact. The fact that you now insinuate I am a shebeen going alcohol consuming individual says much about you. One thing I do know is that you do the Jonathan Moyo mindset proud as a an insult thrower of world class ability. Now only if you could focus on building your nation instead of insuting others, perhaps there may yet be hope for Zimbabwe.
You are the idiot here, you go around randomly commenting on issues you know shite about. What? Did the shebeens close early today?
Because you’re an idiot.
Nhai zvako he is no different to Bush. Only a black face yet policies are the S’s Ame Its a con to distract people. An axe entered the forest and the trees cheered oH there is one of us. That is how Africans behave when they see Obama a puppet on a string.
Gambo why do you insult me Sir. Why don’t you begin by critically analysing my comments particularly around the priviledged position the coloured people enjoyed during the colonial era. Contrary to your assumptions most Zimbabwean coloured people do not regard themselves as African. That is a fact. Stick to the subject matter do not resort to disparaging responses. I have not insulted you or made judgements about you. I do not hate coloureds. I am simply pointing out that they like the Indians had a privileged past before the independence of Zimbabwe and my second point is most of them have an identity crisis unlike Angus who seems to be a wise coloured man he is one out of a hundred. Most coloureds do not think like he does, there is a few coloureds who are in touch with their roots and some coloureds were a part of our liberation struggle and they went on to be a success in the liberated Zimbabwe and then there is the low scope coloureds who distance themselves from their African roots.
You obviously didn’t understand my point if you believe that I repeated what you said. If you read what I wrote, you will notice that I do not agree with your prejudiced point of view in any way.
You are indeed ignorant as you vehemently cling to the absurd presumption that coloured people do not identify themselves as african. I am african and would never claim to be anything but african. I grew up here, I live here, I was educated here and I am very proud of that. I cannot identify as european because I have never lived there. Though this country was a british colony and as such all zimbabweans have naturally adopted and inherited elements of british culture, from speaking english, to drinking tea or supporting english football teams; none of that makes me any less african than you. I have more in common with you than with native europeans. I am proud of both my african and european ancestry and there is nothing wrong with that. I have zimbabwean ancestry and scottish ancestry, but I DO NOT believe I am Scottish. I am Zimbabwean and that is all. You apparently would have me pick a side, and the side you would prefer I chose as an identity would be the same kind of african as you, when clearly by descent I am not. I am a different kind of african, and by different I do not mean superior or inferior to anyone. Lose the chip on your shoulder. I am privileged to have white, black and coloured relatives and in this post rhodesian era, having the freedom to interact with them all has been a great lesson. We are human and skintone or ancestry are irrelevant. Only fools focus on such superficial surface features and assume that they define how people think, what they believe and how they behave.
I live in Zimbabwe, and as far as I know, there is no such association in existence here, and the coloured people I know would not participate in the celebration of what was a painfully oppressive regime for them. The point is that any person of any race may have issues and arbitrarily hold prejudices against others, but those ignorant bigots are not representative of their racial or cultural group as a whole. You cannot judge all coloured or mixed race people by the actions or beliefs that some of them may have.
That’s history. As Lucky Dube Sang; I was a soldier following instructions from the man we’ve come to know as the General. What about the derogatory terms black Africans have for Coloureds? Makharadi, Busuman, Jimmy etc. Grow a pair and get over it!
Fred Bhurugwa, no handisi mukharadi, but you are speaking rubbish and YES you are ignorant. Your narrative is subjective and myopic. Your personal experience with coloureds is no basis for the general analysis you took which looks like pavement research. You do not know what an African is, thinking ALL Africans are Nguni looking. The Amharic in Ethiopia, to which my partner belongs, is not Nguni looking as you would wish all Africans must look. Neither are the Nilothic people whom I am sure u know about. I will not speak about the Berbers as that may be a bridge too far for your narrow narratives. Please up the quality of your debate.
The problem with this stupid article and all those that responded to it is that the Rhodesian coloureds to be precise,were so proud of their colonial status to the point of forgetting their African heritage too, in the sense that they hated blacks and some still do.
Rhodesian coloured may have Scottish or English or white Ancestry but in the eyes of their fathers or in the eyes of racist white people,they are not “pure”. They are all black but a lighter shade full stop. This is why it was stupid for coloureds trying to identify with whites by beating up black people in Florida,Mutare or Arcadia when they were infact more accepted by black people than by their white fathers who dumped them with their black mothers once they were conceived.
The coloured people in Zimbabwe only emerged as an ethnic group after they started identifying each other and married amongst themselves because they were too ashamed to be associated with black people. It is because of their rootlessness that indeed they can never go far because they sit on the fence,hanging onto a colonial racist past that segregated them into believing they were better than black and yet their fathers despised them too,racially,economically,politically,socially and every other field you can think of. Today where are they? Still trying to find themselves. Obama found himself a long time ago and hence his success while others still hold on to an unworthy past.

Angus McNeilage you are very lost. I dont know where you live but today there is a Rhodesian Coloureds Association that gathers to celebrate and maintain their Rhodesian identity and to indoctrinate their children that they are not black and not the so called mixed race either but Coloured. They hold their celebration every Summer in the UK in Crystal Palace just near Croydon in London. Last time l passed through, there were almost a 1000 Rhodesian Coloureds in attendance who were clearly trying as far as possible not to be seen as the same as the few African black Zimbabweans who were there,me being one of them. This is 3 weeks ago. They have another gathering on 30th of August. Same place. Let me know if you want the details. So,therefore,l maintain what l said in my first response to this whole issue
Well at least we close … let’s see you try …
iwe Gambo uri mkharadi ?????what gives you the audacity to call me ignorant. All I did was to give a factual narrative of our history. Zimbabwean coloureds do not identify themselves as African that is the truth. I am not going to agree with your half scotch part ndau and part shona friend, he believes he is Scotish. Sit with him in the presence of Scottish people then you will know the coloureds vane manyemwe too much.
You obviously did understand my point. You are repeating everything l said and making it your own but l dont dabble in mudslinging
Thank You! We are all people essentially, and the more inclusive, tolerant and accepting we are of each other, the better we become as individuals and as a society. Let us bury the past and build a positive and bright future.
Until you change your ways and keep whatever bitterness and resentment you have as a consequence of your personal experiences in a time long past to yourself, there will be no progress. none of that has any place in the future of Zimbabwe. Don’t poison your childrens minds with your negativity. Let them interact with other races on equal footing free from your aprehensions that are related to your past. That should not affect their future. And you too can choose to escape your past for the sake of a better future. Why should you feel sorry for anyone of any race? People of mixed race are of mixed ethnoc and cultural heritage and are not obligated to pick a side. Having equal zimbabwean and scottish heritage gives me a unique perspective, and a privilaged position to embrace the best of both and to celebrate those things by bringing them together. It would be absurd to pick a sides. Being in the middle so-to-speak has increased my understanding of the human condition… something you could learn from. I’m stunned that you can be so ignorant as to assume that all coloured people are the same…. Are all black or white people the same?
Thank you Kenny… You’re right. some people are incapable of letting go of the past. What occurred under the oppressive regime that legistlated segregation has ended, but for many, the mental scars remain. We can only build a better future by looking forward. Those who still harbour prejudices and animosity towards people of other races because of their personal experience living in Rhodesia should keep it to themselves and not pass their bitterness on to their Zimbabwean children. I was born in Zimbabwe, not rhodesia, and my parents did not pass on any resentment, bitterness or prejudice that they might have had to me. They raised me to understand that I am not superior or inferior to anyone based on the colour of my skin or theirs. Unfortunately the rhodesian political agenda was very convincing for some people, but it remains a choice whether or not you wish to retain those views in this country. I maintain that those who still harbour insecurities, inferiority complexes, prejudices, bitterness or delusions of grandeur from their experiences in rhodesia should keep that nonsense to themselves and not poison the minds of their Zimbabwean children. They are colourblind unless taught otherwise. Let us all encourage our children to
interact with their peers of all races and to be tolerant, empathetic
and inclusive in all that they do. What matters is what you do with what you have, and to make the best of our education. They are colourblind unless you teach them otherwise. Encourage them to interact with their peers of all races and to be tolerant, empathetic and inclusive in all that they do.
You are stuck in the rear view mirror, totally ignoring the henious acts of the majority tribe against others. You have hardly covered yourself with glory and are in no position to lecture anyone. Your bitterness is your downfall. You build a nation by looking forward not backwards. Many majority tribe members co-operated with tthe Smith regime as well, thats why u had Zimbabwe-Rhodesia. People like Senator Culverwell fought alongside ande was part of Zanu PF. Ignorance and bitterness destroys, as it is doing to you.
What I hate about all Zimbabwean coloureds is that when they are in the presence of white people they grow very long tails. The Zimbabwean coloureds are constantly ridiculing the black Africans. These coloured people where also used as an instrument oppress black people, ask anyone that used to work NRZ before independence, even the in muniicipalities these coloureds abused blacks. Most coloured areas where no go areas for blacks including Thorngrove in Bulawayo that is right next to a sewer, blacks were attacked by coloureds in those areas. At schools coloureds bullied blacks. I do not feel sorry for the coloureds at all. They still think that they are better than blacks. Until they change their ways like the South African coloureds who identify themselves as the Khoisan tribe (Bushman) they have no place in Zimbabwe as long as you still think you are Scottish you have not changed, that is why when you are in the presence of Scottish people you grow very long tails.
i’m a very black man living in a white society . You see ecause i’m the minority where i am , i just wanna say i’m sorry for such wreckless statements made by some uninformed scumbag .
FYI , most blacks do love coloureds don’t listen to such fools as this dude
very well said i agree with you 1000 percent
you’re just as ignorant as the writer of this article… people of mixed race were not accepted by their white or black relatives during the rhodesian era. Growing up as first generation mixed race children often to single parents and viewed by black and white alike as an abomination, picked on and ridiculed for being different. It is no wonder they formed an ethnic group of their own as the “unwanted middle children” of two races at odds with each other. Why pick sides? They were not embraced by either black or white people and consequently gravitated towards each other because they could identify with their common issues relating to rejection and established thier own separate cultural norms, values and identity.. Not out of shame to be associated with their african or european relatives, but rather the opposite… because both their white and black kin were historically too ashamed of their coloured bastard relatives to embrace and accept them socially or culturally. There is a big difference between an apartheid type regime of racial segragation that defined laws and regulations that either favoured or discriminated against people on the basis of ethnic background or skin colour, and making the absurdly gross assumptive generalisation that people of mixed race (or any other race), consider themselves better than anyone else. From what you have expressed I might be lead to believe that you harbour some form of inferiority complex… a remnant of rhodesia and a chip on your shoulder about having been considered by that regime as lesser than people of lighter skin-tone. But that would be an absurd assumption or generalisation based on a stereotype. You cannot put racial, or cultural groups in a box. Racism is a consequence of ignorance, as much as making stereotypical generalisations is ignorant. Please explain what you mean by “Coloured people still trying to find themselves”, and “Today where are they”. You speak as though you assume that mixed race people are socially, culturally, intellectually, economically and politically inept. It rather serves to indicate an intellectual ineptitude on your part. Regardless of race or ethnic background, and within each racial group you get PEOPLE at any point along the socio-economic spectrum, or any other scale you wish to choose.

What an ignorant letter to the editor! Clearly written by an idiot with a chip on his
shoulder. Do you think before you write this garbage? Do you do any research, or just spew out your uninformed, ignorant and quite frankly offensive opinions?
The inheritance of name and surname is generally dependant on
the ethnicity of one’s male ancestry due to society being predominantly
patriarchal. The fool that wrote this letter clearly fails to grasp
the fact not all people of mixed race have african paternal ancestry. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt.
What on earth Barack Obama has to do with African coloureds is something only the writer of this note can explain. Obama is an American with a completely different life path and story. Zimbabwe’s majority tribe seems to like demonising every minority. First the government culled the Ndebele’s for only they know what, then they arrested the Indians for hoarding or whatever, now they gong for the coloureds. What exactly is wrong with you?…Do you feel so small or little that you imagine others thinking they are better? In that case the problem is with you, not these minorities you hound. What is so hard to just be a nation? What?…The majority tribe are no saints or angels, The state of the country is a direct resut of your obstinate and myopic thinking. Build the nation and stop imagining bogeymen everywhere.
Tseke
Look Obama is not Kenyan. This guy does not even identify with you blacks. When are you Africans going to get this through your thick heads? Read his autobiography.
This person should go back to school and his history books. Get his story straight then rewrite this article. He is clearly a racist and poor show by the editor for allowing such to be published. A large number of Zimbabwean blacks are also still sore about the whole war issue and are racist towards coloured people. You black Zimbabweans don’t want to accept us coloureds as black. I’ve heard it many times “dzokera kumusha wa baba wako, Zimbabwe dzinyika wavahnu vatema” you came for our farms as well.
Not white enough not black enough so to hell with it we’ll band together. Idiot.
It is so sad that most have been indoctrinated and even accepted the norm and standard to be classified based on skin color or where you were born. There is only one race and that is the human race… I am really so sick and tired and fed up of so much ugliness because of this stupid yet ignorant worldwide ideology… xenophopbia, ethnic cleansing, world wars… all because of one superior race… one superior skin color… one superhuman group… well, you all are a bunch of idiots if you don’t stop bickering about this. You all needed Jesus Christ ; Buddha ; Muhammad ; 14th Dalai Lama ; Nelson Mandela ; Anne Frank ; Abraham Lincoln ; Mikhail Gorbachev ; Christopher Columbus ; Florence Nightingale ; Winston Churchill ; Albert Einstein ; Marie Curie ; Martin Luther King ; Indira Gandhi ; Kofi Annan ; Malala Yousafzai … and I can give you names of all skin colour and countries who made a difference to the HUMAN RACE. If one can make a difference, then You make that difference… irrespective of skin colour, race or country.
As long as you are a black man you are an African so says Peter Tosh.
These guys they used to beat us If you tresspass along Arcadia and Waterfalls when I was growing up during the 70’s what a shame VAZUKURU vedu ava just leave them lke that they will come of age eccept Andy Brown thumps up
I am a Zimbabwean who many would refer to as a coloured. My parents lived in areas like Arcadia and Ardbennie which were imposed on them during the colonial era. However, I do not view myself as a coloured . I am a person of mixed race. My grandfather on my fathers side was Scott’s and married my grandmother from Chipinge who is Ndau in Mozambique. On my mothers side I also have a Scottish great grand father and my great great grand mother was from Zvimba I have the same surname as my father and grandfather. I am very proud of my Scottish, Shona and Ndau heritage. I have black and white relatives here in Zimbabwe and all over the world. Must I disown my Scottish forefathers and relatives? Obama took the name of his father, why should I not be allowed to do the same?
How do you know what someone is thinking? It’s 2015. Live your life stupid bigot!
Your an idiot! Go to school. Channel your energy into more productive things. I don’t even know how this paper published your letter. Which means they’ll publish any rubbish that comes from any clown. They as weak as you!
What poor reporting. I don’t think this journalist went to school. Talk about a serious brain drain. It’s a stereotypical view which further marginalizes people of mixed race in that country. STOP IT you stupid idiot!
eeee ekse tune the own to loos this rosty or we might ve too toob the mense ..
Stop being so defensive and re-read my post. For starters I didn’t say “every Zimbabwean coloured”. The thread above mentioned ‘most African coloureds” who don’t call themselves black because their fathers are white. Those are the ones I am referring to. The ones that think they are better than blacks. I am telling them to stop thinking they are better than blacks because they are not. Whites are also not better than blacks. Instead they should embrace their blackness and move on instead of yearning to be accepted as whites. Where is the divide here? It’s just common sense.
What a lot of rubbish you utter. So you know every Zimbabwean coloured person? What ignorance from an ignorant fool. Posts like these just increases the devide.
He nailed it on the head and you just don’t want to accept the truth.
Most American “coloureds”; have white fathers too but they still identify as blacks. These African “coloreds” are a confused lot who think they are better than blacks and yet their white fathers are ashamed of them and don’t want to accept them as part of their white community. Instead of embracing their black heritage and moving on with life they are held in this no man zone and hence they have all sorts of issues.
What a stupid ,ill informed wanker this ‘writer’ is nxaa pamhatta!
Spot on
I think most African coloureds have got white fathers, which is the opposite with Obamas case. Mr writer I’m sorry your observation and comparison is wrong. Please man up and apologize dude.
Ekse what you tuning. Kenya is not even close to Zim.. are goffals supposed to be Shona mense? I think the other ouen that wrote this doesn’t smak the foggals. They must have neighed his ster or gunned his boetie…..eissssshhhh
Makharadhi mazhinji vazere nechirungurira. Its common knowlege coloureds prefer to be white because of the former status of whites in Rhodesia. A lot have actually not yet awoken from that myth. Many a time I have seen them trying to be whiter than snow.
This person has a problem with Zimbabwean Coloured’s isn’t.
